Tohru in Wonderland?
…After falling for what seemed forever Tohru looked around her and realized she was on the Sohma estate or something very much like it and alone again in the long hall. She noticed a glass of liquid and key on a small table beside a door that was only a foot high. No one came and the place seemed dead so Tohru being thirsty thought to herself "I'm so thirsty and there's no one to ask…maybe I'll just have a little and hope its okay…" she was so thirsty though that she drank it all and started freaking out "Oh no! I hope I won't get in trouble…I didn't mean to drink it all!" the called out as loud as she could, "I'm sorry for drinking all your water!! I'm so dizzy all of a sudden…" then she realized she was shrinking and it stopped only when she was nine inches tall. "Hmmm…I can go though here now…maybe I'll find someone to tell me what's going on" but the door was locked and she remembered the key on the table, "Oh no that must be the key to this door! What am I going to do?!" she then saw a delicious looking plate of onigiri and was very hungry all of a sudden. "Hmmm…what if no one comes and I'm stuck here forever? I am getting hungry, maybe having one wouldn't hurt…" this time she did have only one but it was all it took to make her dizzy again as she grew to nine feet tall. "Oh no! good thing I only ate one" thinking a little more, "good thing I didn't break anything growing so big so fast, but now how an I going to get out!? I can barely move!" Tohru starts crying as the White Rabbit turned down the hall. Tohru could help but think it looked like Momiji. Tohru started to ask him for help but he saw her and cried out as he started running, "Oh no! An outsider is stuck in the hall! I have to get help before the Queen finds out!" at this point he dropped some gloves and a fan.
"Wait!" Tohru called after him. Seeing this was in vain she then picked up the gloves and fan. It was hot and stuffy in the hall so the little breeze she got from the fan was a nice relief. "Hmmm this reminds me of something…That's it! This is just like the story Alice in Wonderland, but how is that possible…" Lost in thought about what to do Tohru didn't notice she was shrinking again and very rapidly. "Oh no!" she stopped fanning too late; she fell into a lake she realized must be her tears later. While deciding how to get out of the pool of tears she noticed a Seahorse swimming by, "Please can you help me get out of here?"
To her delight the Seahorse answered, "Y-yes!" clearly shocked to see her, "grab a hold of my fin" Tohru was reminded of the first time she saw Hatori transform.
"Thank you so much! I though I might drown." Tohru told the Seahorse as she got out of the water.
"It's no trouble." He told her. Just then Tohru noticed a Ram, Tiger, Boar, Cat, Rat, Dog and Ox climb out of the water.
They noticed her staring and the Ram told her, "What's wrong with you? Never seen animals before?" Tohru couldn't stop though so he went on, "Geese, take a picture already!"
"Hiro! I mean Ram!" the Tiger scolded the Ram, "don't be so mean." However this seemed strangely meek coming from a Tiger that could easily hurt the Ram in the wild.
"AAAAARRRGGG!! I hate being wet!!" the Cat interrupted and is tried to dry itself looking sulky and irritated.
"Don't be a pussy, actually you ARE one…" the Rat commented, "We're all wet at any rate so quite whining like one."
"Do you wanna fight RAT?!" they were stopped though by the Dog who interrupted before they could continue.
"Calm down now we have a very frightened looking visitor," the Dog gestured towards Tohru, who was unfrozen by the attention.
"I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! I'm so sorry you are all wet!" But the dog waved aside Tohru's apology.
"It's okay we are all wet and irritable so lets get dried off shall we?"
"How are we going to do that?" the Boar asked shivering then got an idea, "Come here Cat and we'll warm each other up!"
"No way!! I'd rather stay cold and wet!" the Cat replied.
"Now, now! We can have a caucus race!" the Dog informed them cheerfully.
"How does that work?" they all asked at once.
"We run in a circle until we can't anymore…" the Dog seemed to have second thoughts but it was too late.
"A race? Hmmm…" the Cat thought aloud glaring at the Rat, "You'll never beat me Rat!"
"I challenge you both!" the Ox had been silent until he made this challenge to the Cat and Rat.
"It's no use, neither of you can beat me…" the Rat told them the Ox protested, "You know the Cat won't race unless you do too." giving a pleading look to the Rat.
"You're just scared you stupid Rat!" the Cat provoked.
"I guess I have no choice…" the Rat accepted the challenge and the three took off down the hall followed by the Boar who insisted on trying her method to warm up. The speed of the racers caused such a wind that it dried the four left behind in a flash.
"Aahhhh! That's better" the Dog said with a sigh of contentment and a smile.
"Excuse me but how can I get out of here and back to my normal size?" Tohru finally asked breaking the silence meanwhile trying to remember how the story went.
"If you want help getting out of here then go grab some gloves and a fan for me from the White Rabbit's room." The Dog informed Tohru who accepted not knowing what else to do.
"Th-thank you! But how do I get there?"
"It's just at the end of the hall to the right third door on the left" The dog told her just before the three animals disappeared, leaving Tohru alone again.
