Two years long gone, and now I return. I stood above the rabbit hole I fell into not too long ago. I had told him that I needed to finish some business, and now, that business was done. I tied all my loose ends and was ready for another stage in life. To be honest, it was more of a completely other life. Underland was a wonderful place, where time was no object and life had no bounds. Nothing was impossible in Underland.
I lingered over the hole for another moment mustering up the courage to go. If I went now, I would leave behind a world I once called home. Although, this world was no longer home for me. After tasting this fruit of desire, I felt something missing. The sunny days and colorful flowers all seemed dull now. After being somewhere as vibrant as Underland, there was no real turning back. Not to mention that one, pestering, thing that was kept prominent in my mind.
"Wheres that muchness, Alice?" I asked myself quietly. My hair was strewn back into a ponytail but still fell wild no matter what I did. I closed my eyes and breathed in, thinking of what was on the other side. Before I could stop myself, I felt my feet fly into the air and I was suddenly cascading quickly down the abyss.
Clocks were looming around me; random instruments and trinkets floated by my face. Ticking noises still sounded prominently in my ears. It was such an odd passage, not one to say I enjoyed for that matter. It made me fall sick to my stomach, but it was all worth it. The piano butted closer to my face; I held in my breath and it floated away as quickly as it had come.
I felt myself collide with the floor harshly, quicker then I could have remembered. I laid on the ground in utter silence for a moment, a splitting headache forming at the collision. I blocked it out of my mind while I stood up quickly. Seeing the vile and key on the table, I couldn't help but smile.
I grabbed the key anxiously in my fingers before taking the vile, and sparing no time, took a large sip. I placed it back on the table just in time before I began to sink down to the size of a carrot. I emerged from my oversized dress and grabbed a chunk of cake placing it in my pocket, the familiar rags hanging over me. I approached the door that lead to my place not forgotten and slipped the key into the hole. I turned the key as fast as I could and walked through the door. As soon as the door shut I remembered a slight dilemma. As soon as I ate the cake, I would be left with no clothes.
"Ahh... Think Alice, think." I recently had started talking to myself more then I honestly should have been. It was a problem I learned to ignore. Nothing is impossible in Wonderland. The thought ran precariously across my mind as I stopped. I thought deeply, concentrating while I ate my cake. While I expanded back to normal size, my clothes expanded with me. All it took was a little mind power. I chuckled to myself as I looked around the familiar surroundings, how I missed this land so.
I took off down the path that was covered in soft green grass. The sun showing profusely, illuminating colors I didn't even know to be in the spectrum. What a wonderful world it was. I took in every bit of the world that I had thankfully returned to as I felt something glide across my shoulder.
"Thee Alice? Could it be?" A silky voice aquatinted me as a smile drifted across my face.
"Is this who I think it is?" I smiled turning around to be met with the cheshire cat.
"Your back!" The cat popped up next to me; that was a habit of his I never quite got used to.
"I am indeed!" I smiled at the cunning cat.
"Well why don't you tell your dear friend why you have been gone so long?" He smiled back to me.
"I would love to, but while I do tell you... Could you possibly do me a favor?" I asked politely.
"Anything for dear ol' Alice!" The cat replied, the smile never fading.
"Could you please take me to the Hatter?" I asked raising an eyebrow, hoping for the best. If possible, the smile grew.
"Why of course. Now if you would kindly start with you story, fallow me" The cat glided through the air smoothly, never loosing sight of me. I fallowed him as I began my story of the two long years I had waited to return.

I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. I will definitely try to update this particular story once a week. Of course sometimes It will be more! For my random plot bunnies I have a drabble series for Alice in Wonderland as well. As for anyone who was reading my Harry Potter work, I'm sorry. Any thoughts of a sequel will be 100% put off till' summer. Although, there will be the one shot here and there. Reviews are very highly appreciated. Each one means the world to me. :)
