Chapter Two: Johan Andersen
"Johan Andersen?" Judai repeated the name softly. Johan, as he introduced himself, smiled and shook Judai's hand before letting him go, careful not to let him fall over the sticks that were still tangled at his feet.
"That's me," Johan said, hands on his hips.
Judai glanced around and noticed the cave-like cavern that he and Johan were standing in. His eyes darted left and right, and he noticed that there were a few strange-looking mushrooms glowing on the sides of the walls. He also noticed a very tiny doorway behind Johan, and a small glass table beside him.
"So," Johan said with a clap of the hands. "What do you call yourself?"
Judai snapped into awareness and turned towards him. "Huh?" he wondered what Johan had said, since he wasn't paying attention. "Oh, m-my name is Judai. Judai Yuki."
Johan's green eyes seemed to widen slightly.
"The Judai?" he asked.
Judai blinked his brown eyes in confusion. "I-I don't know what you mean. I'm the only Judai I have ever heard of or seen," he said, pointing to himself. The bluenette just stared at Judai in awe, as if Judai were a god.
Johan laughed a little to himself and looked out to Judai. "So, you've finally arrived."
"What are you talking about?" Judai asked, getting a little annoyed that he was being kept in the dark. Johan just turned to Judai with a big smile. "What's all this about me being 'the Judai'? What does it matter? How do you know me?"
Johan just kept on smiling and looked to the sky, which was blocked by the cavern ceiling.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
"Huh?" Judai asked, looking over to Johan. Johan was still looking to the ceiling and no longer at Judai. "Johan, you okay? What are you talking about?"
Johan didn't seem to hear Judai, almost as if he were in a trance. Judai sighed and fell silent and let Johan continue saying what he wanted to keep on saying.
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Never thought I'd live to see the day the Judai came to Wonderland," Johan laughed, bowing once to Judai. "Well, as previously stated, my name's Johan."
"Okay," Judai nodded once with a tiny, nervous laugh. "Um, Johan?"
"Yes?" Johan asked.
"Are you all right?" Judai reached forward and placed his hand on Johan's shoulder. "You started going off on this random tangant and speaking about something called a Jabberwock. What was that all about?"
Johan laughed a bit nervously. "I-it's nothing to worry about, Judai. Sorry if I scared you. I'm just a tad mad, you know. Just... try and remember the poem, okay?"
Judai blinked in confusion. "Why?" he asked.
"Just-" Johan sighed and shook his head slowly. "Just try and remember some of it. And as for what a Jabberwock is..." Johan laughed a bit nervously again. "Well, let's just hope that we never have to run into it, okay?"
"Okay," Judai nodded.
Johan clapped his hands. "Great! So! Are you ready to head into Wonderland then, Judai?" he asked.
Judai nodded once. "Y-yeah, I guess I am ready," he said to Johan. He glanced around and noticed the tiny door behind Johan, but he also noticed that there were no other doors. "How do we get there?"
"Through that door," Johan pointed to the tiny door.
Judai stared at the door, mouth agape. "That door?" he pointed to it, and Johan nodded. "T-there's no way we can fit through that door! We are way too big!"
Johan chuckled and flashed him a "peace sign".
"That's what this is for," he said, motioning his hand towards the glass table. Judai glanced over and noticed that there was a bottle of clear white liquid sitting on the table. From it was a tag that read "drink me" in thick red letters that looked like the way a three year old would write something on a paper.
Judai's brown eyes widened, and he leaped back, still staring at the table.
"Whoa!" he shrieked, pointing down to the table. "When the fuck did that get there!"
Johan chuckled and opened the bottle up. He took a swig of it and handed it to Judai. Judai looked down into the bottle and made a face, since it seemed to smell a little strange to him.
"Johan, what's-" Judai looked over and blinked in confusion.
Johan was gone.
"Johan?" Judai glanced around and tried to take a step forward. He kept looking around the room, and almost set his foot on the ground, not looking down. "Joh-"
"Whoa!" Johan's voice cried out, though it seemed a bit softer than before. "Easy, Judai! Please refrain from stepping on me!"
Stepping on him? Judai glanced down and noticed that right in front of his foot was a small figure that was no bigger than about two inches high. He blinked in confusion and leaned a bit to get a better look.
Judai's brown eyes widened.
"Johan!" he squeaked, leaping back.
When he landed on the ground on his feet, it managed to shake the floor a bit. However, shaking a bit was more like an earthquake to poor little Johan, so he cried out and collapsed onto his back on the tiled floor.
"Oye!" Johan rubbed his head as he sat up. "Judai, please be careful, all right?"
Judai laughed and muttered an apology to the bluenette. He looked at his hand and swallowed some of the stuff in the bottle, instantly regretting it. He groaned and coughed, shaking his head rather quickly to rid himself of the horrid taste.
"That's gross!" he cried out.
He heard Johan laugh a bit, but before he could protest, Judai felt something strange overcome his body. He glanced down and noticed that he was shrinking rather quickly, and he noticed that he was matching the size that Johan had shrunk down to. When he stopped, Judai glanced up and saw that Johan was smiling and standing before him.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"I am," Judai said with a small nod, looking deep into Johan's eyes. "Though, all of this seems a bit strange to me. We don't have stuff like this in my world."
"Really?" Johan asked. "No shrinking potions or anything where you come from?"
"No," Judai shook his head slowly.
"Well," Johan took his hand and led Judai to the door. "Let's get going then." He brought Judai to the door and pulled out a key, in which he pushed into the door's lock, and gave it a fierce twist. There was a huge snap, and the door flew open. Judai was insantly greeted to the sound of rushing water, incredibly fast.
He felt Johan grab his hand.
"Ready?" Johan asked, casting one glance right back over to Judai.
"Uh-huh," Judai gave a fairly nervous nod and gave Johan a weak smile to reassure him that he was ready.
Johan smiled and took a big leap through the door, dragging Judai right after him. Judai listened as the rushing water became stronger and faster, and before he knew it, he and Johan went head-first into what Judai later realized was a river known to everyone in Wonderland as the Pool of Tears.
Me: Johan and Judai have shrunk and are now inside Wonderland in the Pool of Tears! (1) Remember this scene and this line! They will be important when the story progresses!
Lucy: What will happen with Johan and Judai now?
Me: Hint! The next chapter is called "The Caucus Race"! So, those who have seen "Alice in Wonderland" should have a slight idea what they are going to run into!
Lucy: So, please review, and we shall update soon!
