Warning :: Really faint hint of Ozbert. Jack x Lacie is included too. Massive relationship change is due, so read with a fresh perspective.

Chewing her toast, Ada eyed her family members from the dining table.

There was her mother, Lacie Vessalius. She was laughing at something her father had said. Jack, her father, was sitting beside her, telling her how his day is going to go, what are his plans for the rest of the day. To Ada's right are her twin sisters, Alice and Alyss, who were arguing about who got the most mashed potatoes. Mother's mashed potatoes are always the best, as father had said.

In her head, Ada's mind told her that this is her normal family scene.

After that twisted Wonderland dream, though, she can't help but find this scene stranger and much more heartwarming than normal.

"Ada?"

Ada snapped out of her thoughts, and faced her family's worried looks.

"Are you alright?" Lacie asked, concern in her voice, "You spaced out." Her red eyes showed a vast amount of warmth reserved for her family, and while Ada knows that she is part of that family, she felt strangely disorientated.

Ada opened her mouth to comment what she thought of this situation, but after she thought about it, decided against it. Instead, she just shook her head, and smiled. "Nothing's wrong, mom."

The Vessalius child went back to her breakfast.

"Ada!"

Ada caught the incoming figure. She sucked in a breath in shock, taken back by who it is.

Oz looked up at her, black rabbit ears showing from between his hair, a large smile on his lips. Looking at him now, Ada can't believe how twisted her dream was, this morning.

This is Oz, the B-rabbit Chain. As he was meant to be. He wasn't her brother at all, but a close, childhood friend.

"Ada, you are here in Pandora today!" Oz chirped ears twitched, mirroring his excited expression.

Ada nodded, still a little stunned. "I am, mother asked me to pass some stuff to uncle and grandfather," she spluttered out, eyes wide. She took a second, but she continued with, "Are you really Oz?"

Oz blinked, obviously not expecting that question. "Of course I am. Are you sick, Ada?" he asked, concerned. He look over her shoulder and spotted someone, calling out, "Hey Gil! I don't think Ada's feeling very well!"

Ada turned around, letting out a tiny gasp. Gilbert was walking towards them, a concerned look on his face. He put a hand on her forehead. "Are you alright?" he asked, "You don't seem to be sick."

Looking at the two (genuinely concern for her well being) friends, Ada couldn't imagine them the way they are in her dream.

"Yes, I'm alright," she offered them a weak smile, "I'll get going now." She quickly get away from both of them, not willing for them to see her face. She had to get this stuff that her mom had asked her to pass to Uncle Oswald and Grandpa Revis anyway.

In her dreams, Oz was a Chain that didn't get a happy ending, and poor Gilbert was a victim of a series of bad events.

Here, in the real world, Oz was his Chain, and true enough, they were best friends. Ad regrets a little that Oz isn't her brother here, but being good childhood friends was close enough, if it meant they are happy.

Ada left the two of them with a content smile and some happy tears at the corner of her eyes.

"I can't believe it, Fawn, Pandora's so weird in this world," Ada told her Chain that night. It wasn't until a confused look from her Chain that Ada realized Fawn didn't know about her twisted Wonderland dream either.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she patted Fawn's nose, "I had a weird dream, last night. Don't mind me about it."

Fawn blew softly into her hand. "Tell me about it?" he asked softly.

"Hmm, Pandora's so different here," Ada fiddled with her fingers, "Here, they are a secret company ran by Grandpa Revis, who's mom's dad, with other four families as part of a council that give influential advices. They are in charge of keeping Chain-related events hush hush, and forming contracts here are actually something to look forward to, like a prize."

"You knew that since you were young," Fawn pointed out, "Why the sudden surprise? I remember how excited you were when you managed to form a contract with me."

Ada's mind was filled with memories of her youth, when she was one of the lucky ones to form a contract. As a contractor, it means she have a place in Pandora in the future, a stable income and a work very much like an agent or a spy, which, in her opinion, was awesome.

"It's different in the dream," Ada murmured, "In the dream, Contractors are frown upon unless they are legal."

"What a strange dream," Fawn remarked.

Ada left it at that.

That night, when she slept, Ada sees the first Alice.

They are in a dark, dark place, and specks of golden light floated about the place, a fading reminder of the dream long done.

"I thought I won't be seeing you anymore," Ada commented.

The blond girl in front of her giggled, and her blue eyes sparkled. "This is the last time, I believe," Alice shrugged, "I'm just here to say goodbye, and thank you, for everything."

"You're welcome," Ada nodded, "But the whole day had been so strange. I kept seeing them like in the dream. Everything is so...comfortable here. It feels like this is the dream instead."

Alice hummed in pleasure. "Well, that's what happened to me too, when I woke up from Wonderland the first time," the blue eyed girl laughed, "I kept seeing white rabbits and mad hatters everywhere. It was strange, but you would soon get used to it. And what is life, but a dream?"

That was a strangely difficult question to answer, and Ada didn't try to reply. "Were you ever real?" she asked, instead, hesitance in her voice, "Did you ever exist in this world?"

"Sure," Alice replied casually. A smirk carved itself on her face. "I believe you will find me under the name Alice Liddell, the girl who fell down the real, original Wonderland."

"Ah," Ada looked away, "I'll be sure to try and find your...records, then."

Alice giggled at Ada's awkwardness. "But really," the blue eyed girl smiled, "Thank you, for waking us all up."

"It's nice to wake up," Ada remarked in return, "The dream might have been pleasant...much, but waking up was sweeter."

Alice nodded. "It is," she agreed, "It is."

Ada woke up with a smile, golden light fading to nothing at the corner of her eyes.

Author Note :: Epilogue, done! It's really optional to read this one, but it was the original idea I had for this story, beside the theory of everything is just a Wonderland-like dream.

Just to clarify some stuff : -

1) In the real world in which Ada woke up, it is very dream.

2) One of them is Pandora, which, like the dream, is a secret organization, very much like MIB (Men in Black). Chains are a form of power and sign that you are qualified to work in Pandora.

3) Ada's family, as written above, is very, very different. Jack is her father, Lacie is her mother, and the twins, Alice and Alyss is her sisters. Her Grandfather is Revis Baskerville. Her uncle is Oswald.

4) Ada's relationship with other characters changed much as well. Oz and Gilbert are her best childhood friends, and to her, they are very much like her older brothers.

5) Fawn remains as Ada's Chain.

To see it in Ada's point of view, imagine if Pandora Hearts is actually just a very elaborate, Wonderland-like dream which Ada has, similar to 'Alice in Wonderland'. It's strange and has a lot of people she knew was included because it is her dream. However, how real Wonderland's magic, like how it played with Alice Liddell centuries ago, remains an unanswered question.

Thus, when Ada woke up, she feels as though as this world is weird and she's disorientated for a while.

As a note, I might work on future side stories related to this universe. I'm not sure, though. What do you people think?

Oh, and review, please. XD
