A/N: I shall now introduce some of the OCs! Some, not all. Well, if you read Wonder Bunny then you should recognize a few. *Sigh* been up all morning writing this and I'm finally done! So grab a snack, a chair, and... Whatever gadget you're using to read this and enjoy.

Also. A little note. I might've made a few mistakes along the way and I assure you that if I see them or you tell me I will correct it.

Chapter 1: New faces

After what felt like an eternity of sleep Nick's eyes opened and he squinted at the bright lights above him. He looked around him to find that he was in the very same room he was standing in before. Only there was no hole, no Julie, and no Finnick. His body felt like it had been bruised all over and was aching as he tried to stand, only to fall over with a huff when his legs failed him. He eyed the table nearest him, considering the possibility of standing up with its support when the door opened. Standing outside was a prairie dog. Nick raised a curious brow as he looked at the mammal's attire. It was a navy blue waist coat with a perticular gold chain sticking out if his pocket. Nick forced himself to relax to his usual half-lidded eyes and smirk returned, masking his curiosity towards the mammal's clothing and hiding how guarded he was.

"Erm. Hey Hatter! You might wanna come see this!" as if by magic, a grey fox popped up beside the prairie dog. The fox gave Nick a wide and toothy grin.

"Well, well, well. I think we have a guest to join us for our Unbirthday party!" Nick looked at him and studied the other fox suspiciously. Who were these mammals? He certainly haven't seen them before. The grey fox wore a top hat tied with a green silk scarf, a 10/4 sign stuck on it. His black and floral necktie hid most if the black vest under his long, brown coat where pieces of colored fabric stuck out and his black, striped pants made his multicolored socks stand out as they poked out of his leather shoes. The clothes didn't quite match up, but yet they seemed so on the Hatter. The grey fox helped Nick onto his feet shakily.

"Now. It is time for the Unbirthday party!" The grey fox let go of the vulpine's paw as quickly as he grasped it and Nick immediately fell again. Landing painfully on his behind. The Hatter's hazel eyes looked back at him.

"Why did you fall back down? It's time to go for the Unbirthday party!"

Nick glared, annoyed at the grey fox. The prairie dog, on the other hand, looked more concerned.

"You seem shaky. Maybe it's best to see the Joker first. She'll know how to help you." The grey fox beamed at the prairie dog.

"Ohh, let's invite her as well!" the grey fox hauled Nick onto his feet again, this time taking the liberty to make sure he wouldn't fall again. The prairie dog walked cautiously beside them as they went down the wide corridor. The place looked exactly like the Academy, but it was filled with wacky things in unexpected places like balloons, mirrors, streamers and such. Nick's eyes, carefully studied the two mammals on either side of him. Both of them were talking across him, as if he wasn't even there. He coughed to gain their attention, tired of being caught in between their conversation.

"So, can I ask for your names?" he looked curiously at the prairie dog who hadn't introduced himself. Well, not that either of them did, including himself.

"Mason-Dixen. The white queen's timekeeper." the prairie dog puffed out his chest with pride as he introduced himself.

"And I am the Mad Hatter," he paused a moment, his hazel eyes glowed merrily as he smiled his toothy grin at Nick "but call me Drekk. That's what my friends call me."

Nick raised a brow at the weird sounding name but didn't respond. They stopped in front of a greenhouse. It was behind the Academy where the forest seem to extend for miles. Strange plantation grew and moved, making Nick blink and rub his eyes. Did that flower just move? He thought and shook his head. There was no way the plants could move. Just a trick of the light. That's all it was. He convinced himself. Amongst the plants stood a african wild dog, clad in a red blouse, black vest and matching black trousers. Unlike the others he had seen before who had brown and beige as well as yellow spots, she, on the other hand had white and black fur. With a closer look he noticed how she was shuffling a deck of cards in her hands. Sparks of color popping out of it as she did.

"Great morrow to you Joker! How about coming to our Unbirthday party?" The Joker looked flatly at Drekk.

"Like the one we held an hour ago?"

"Oh already? I thought we haven't yet. Then..." Drekk seemed to mull over something before he brightened again.

"Let's have a tea party!"

"Like the one you held and finished five minutes ago?" The Joker shot at him without missing a beat. She was clearly irritated as she crossed her arms across her chest. Remaining monotonous. Drekk's brow creased ever so slightly with thought.

"That's truly unfortunate. I was hoping to drink that nice tea Ophelia gave me." a shadow of a smile crossed his muzzle as he said this. Joker's ears perked and her eyes searched him. After a moment she sighed.

"Fine. I'll be there. But, you'll only get me at your table if you get some butterflies." Drekk smiled in victory. Mason, who was silent until now spoke up.

"Um. Could you help our dear friend... What's your name?" Nick snorted. He thought they'd never ask. He was still being supported by Drekk and had silently dealt with his aching legs while Drekk spoke to the Joker. But before he opened his mouth to speak, a voice answered for him from behind.

"Alec. He's Alec"

judithwildehopps: Guys. You know I already gave her a shout out but check out her story as well. If you have already then I reckon you'll recognize some of the OCs.

That's all the stories I can recommend from these authors and just check them out if you're curious about what they write. If you're wondering why I haven't mentioned Quirky it's because... I don't exactly know what he does to an extent. (Sorry Quirky if you're reading this) I've heard he does art (if I'm not mistaken, if I am, correct me) and I'm betting it's real good.That's all you guys and those who know Quirky and his works please forgive me for being extremely dumb. But this'll be all for the time being and just a note, the chapters after will be updated at random intervals cause' school's starting and it'll suck up my time but otherwise I'll make sure to try and post regularly. Now, until next time! Chao~
