Disclaimer, I Do not own, Bentley, Tess, Qwark, Carmelita, or characters from American McGee's Alice, or its sequel.

Somewhere in London, in an alleyway, at first there was nothing until a big hole appeared, and from it, Taylor and Tess jumped out, and then it disappeared. Taylor looked at a window, and saw she and Tess were wearing different clothes, Taylor was wearing a dress a bit similar to Alice, but it was black, while Tess was wearing same thing, only smaller and was white.

Taylor put down her goggles, and said, "Bentley, what's going on with me and Tess, why are we wearing different clothes instead of the the ones we had on when we jumped in?"

Bentley replied, "Sorry Taylor, but it was the only way for you and Tess to go around London without raising suspicion, besides, I did modify your goggles so in case Alice goes into a trance."

Taylor asked, "A trance, Bentley?"

He said, "Yes, a trance, according to the records, despite her being out of the asylum for a year, Alice is to known hallucinate about being in Wonderland, so when I said the modify, I mean when she goes into a hallucination, you will see what she sees through your goggles, though you got to keep a low profile if someone sees you, they will see you be mad too and send you into the asylum Alice was in."

Taylor gulped, and said, "Good point."

Bentley continued, "Anyway, in case she goes into a deep hallucination that makes her go to Wonderland, you need to head back to the hideout, Qwark and I are building a machine to help you and Tess to go into her mind."

Taylor replied, "Okay Bentley now where is Alice anyway?"

Bentley replied, "As I recall on what you said in your story when you fainted, she was going to see some chemist, she might still be in the boarding house where Dr. Bumby, and Ms. Decibel are."

Tess soon said, "If that is the case, why don't we just go in there, confront Bumby, save Ms. Decibel, get the document, and go home."

Bentley said, "Wonderful idea Tess, but your plan is flawed."

Tess asked, "Why?"

Bentley replied, "Because even if it's close, it is impossible to go near him, for if you do, not only Taylor will be sent to the asylum, but you will be sent to a circus, and also, the Dark Diamond is showing a dark barrier near Bumby. No, to stop him you and Taylor must help out Alice, so she can see in her memories that Bumby was responsible for everything, in both ruining Alice's life, and corrupting her Wonderland."

Taylor said, "Bentley's right, if we don't help out Alice, then we won't get my brother's life's work, so we must lay low until the time comes for us to confront him."

Tess was a bit disappointed, and said, "Okay, man it always have be the hard way."

Taylor said, "Somethings aren't meant to be easy."

Suddenly Taylor heard a familiar female voice, saying, "Another day. A different dream, perhaps."

Taylor said, "Alice is coming, sorry Bentley, me and Tess got to go."

Bentley replied, "Okay be careful you two."

Taylor soon took off her goggles, and hid them in a handbag, which replaces her backpack. She soon went with Tess on her shoulder, and when they turned around a corner, and saw a girl wearing a striped black-and-white long sleeved shirt, a dark skirt under a tattered white pinafore with a checkered border, with stockings and shoes that are dark olive green, with the shoes having nickel buckles. The girl looked at the two and, said, "You two are a bit odd, despite trying to blend into society."

Taylor said, "Well we tried to not attract attention, but listen, we are here to help you."

The girl said, "I do not need help, I need to get the chemist, anyway, I am Alice Liddell, and I must bid you two good day, um," as she was leaving them.

Taylor replied, "This is Tess, and I am Taylor, Taylor Fearbrave."

Alice stopped, and said, "Fearbrave, as in Shadow Fearbrave?"

Taylor replied, "Yes he's my brother, how do you know Shadow?"

Alice said, "He help me out in my restoring my Wonderland when I was in the asylum, how is he anyway."

Taylor explained everything, which was surprising to Alice, and soon Alice said, "Well, that is something, anyway, if you need to help your brother out of that coma, I will allow you to help me, come we must head for the chemist.

So now Alice, Taylor, and Tess began walking, but soon saw a white cat. Taylor said, "Look, that cat wants us to follow it," they soon follow it to an alley, but then it was gone.

Alice soon said, "Now where is that cat gone," they see the cat again, Taylor soon wasn't liking the people here, many of them drunk, or were looking at her with a mean look. They continued walking til they see the cat again right into another alley, Alice soon said, "Seems following furry creatures into dark holes has become a habit. I hope it's not a vice." They kept on following the cat, but soon, Alice stopped, and started to walk cautiously in the alley. Soon they were in a courtyard, and Alice, was feeling scared. Taylor soon saw Alice turn around, and saw that she was scared, Taylor soon grabbed her goggles, and put them on, and saw a man, but with the head of the beast from the vision of the fire. Taylor soon saw, there were a few more, and they were circling around Alice. Tess soon tapped on Taylor's head, she soon took off her goggles, and saw a little old lady coming to Alice, and put her old hand on the scared girl's right shoulder, causing her to turn, and snap out of her hallucination.

The lady then said, "My stars and garters, Alice Liddell! Slumming again are we?" the lady looked at Taylor and Tess, and continued, "I also see you have new friends."

Alice replied, "Nurse Witless! What luck. Twice in as many months. Oh, and yes, this is Taylor Fearbrave, and on her shoulder Tess."

Witless asked, "Out with these new friends, instead of on your own? Despite that, you look frizzled, Dearie. Not doing well?"

Alice replied, "Not Really."

Witless then said, "Come along home with your new friends, then and look at my pigeons. Pretty birds... like you."

Alice was mad, and said, "I don't think so. Our last visit cost me several pounds and got me nowhere."

Witless said, "I might recall where your mangy rabbit got to."

So the began walking, soon Taylor was seeing the nurse, and asked her, "Seems you are nice, but what is wrong, it seems you don't like Alice a bit."

Witless, soon said, "Still a mess, no surprise. Her kin roasted like chestnuts right before her eyes." Soon Taylor's goggles started to vibrate, she put them on, and witnessed what the nurse was thinking. She soon saw the same burning house from her vision, but soon she saw Alice, in anger being hold down be two fat men, but one was shorter, and a doctor writhing stuff down. Witless continued, "Ten years in Rutledge asylum wasted everyone's time." Soon she saw Alice weeping, while she was in session with Bumby, and Witless was still talking, "Dr. Bumby won't do better." Soon Taylor saw Witless listening in an opened door outside Bumby's office, as Witless continued, "Still hauling out her questions. The fire, her memory..." Witless was surprised, and continued, "I deserve consideration, don't I?" She soon turned and began walking away, and continued, "Who found her her new clothes? Who got her a place at Bumby's?" Taylor soon saw some women, while Witless continued, "Where'd she be without me? On the street selling her backside!" Witless appeared in front of the women then some pigeons flew by, while Witless continued, "Likes my pigeons, though." Soon Taylor saw Alice holding some bottles, while witless went on, "She's doled out the odd pound or two." Witless is seen feeding the pigeons, and said, "But what I know's worth more than that. Kept her secret, haven't I?" Taylor soon saw the burning house again, and soon saw young Alice holding a bunny, and then what Alice is today, while Witless was talking, "Heard her say: ...all died on my account, I couldn't save you!" Alice looked while Witless continued feeding the birds, while the nurse went on, "I've told her my silence is for sale, Cheap!" Then Taylor saw a woman tending a bar, and then a man holding the stuffed rabbit, while Witless continued, "I'm a good sort, really. Not like her nanny, that no good barmaid! Or that lawyer fellow, Radcliffe, took her stupid rabbit." Taylor soon saw nothing but the man holding the rabbit, and also his shadow, while Witless continued, "Need money. Warned her I'd tell the coppers if she didn't make a donation to my upkeep." Taylor soon saw Alice cringing in fear at while Witless smiled and was waving her hand as wanting some thing, while Witless said, "She yells and goes off her head. Days she can't remember her name, what I heard."

After the story, Taylor took off her goggles, and soon found out she was on a roof, looking around and was not liking the pollution due to smoke from the chimneys. Taylor said, "Man the pollution here is really bad, how can the pigeons survive with all that smoke."

Witless replied, "Don't worry dear, my pigeons don't mind."

Soon Alice came from behind Taylor, went to Witless, and said, "Nurse Witless, do you mean to harm me? To send me back to the asylum?"

The nurse replied, while feeding her pigeons seeds, "I won't say no... I've a thirst you could photograph."

Alice, soon jumped, when Witless talked again, "Need a drink..." Taylor saw that, and put back on her goggles, and was shocked that the nurse sprouted wings, while she continued, "More than mt whistle needs whetting..." and turned around and showed the nurse turned into the demon from earlier, roaring scaring Taylor and Alice.

Soon the ground shook, opened up, and caused Alice to fall, while Taylor looked down, and said, "Alice!" but soon Tess tapped on Taylor's head causing her to remover her goggles, seeing Alice walking as if she was sleep walking.

Nurse Witless said, "Oh there she goes again, going mad," she looked at Taylor and said, "It seems you are feeling her fear, especially when wearing those doodads on your head."

Taylor replied, "These are goggles, they are like glasses, its a long story, please excuse me, we need to go somewhere." The nurse nods her head, and let Taylor and Tess leave, so the went the same path as Alice, but only to turn to a corner, and to an alley. Taylor looked to see if the coast was clear, then put her hand to her ear, and said, "Bentley, Alice has gone to Wonderland, open the portal, it's time to help her, I just hope the machine is ready."

Bentley then said, "Okay Taylor, opening the portal, and also the machine is ready for both you and Tess." Soon Taylor saw the portal, and jumped in, and the portal soon vanished.

After a short vortex, Taylor was back at the hideout, and soon said, "Okay Bentley, get the machine prepped, for I'm ready for a mind entering adventure with Tess," but she soon see Bentley and Qwark cowering, Taylor was wondering, and said, "What," she soon heard a click, scared, and said, "There's someone you least expect right behind me, isn't there."

"You got that right, thief," Taylor looked at a anthropomorphic fox with brownish-orange fur, a beauty mark under her left eye, and thick wavy blue hair with bangs tied in a gold hairband. With her outfit that includes a dark blue midriff-baring top that zips in the front, form-fitting dark blue pants, and a choker which has an INTERPOL badge hangs. She was also wearing light brown jacket and yellow gloves, a golden hoop piercing on top of her left ear, plain knee-high combat boots, and lipstick, holding a pistol at Taylor and Tess.

Taylor soon knows this is Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox, she was scared with the pistol was aimed at Taylor, she soon spoke, "Okay about that robbery at the museum, I can explain, besides, that Diamond is really magical, you saw me and Tess came out of that map."

However, Carmelita was still pointing the pistol at her, and saying, "Well it doesn't matter, your brother will be disappointed to see you in jail for stealing when he wakes up from his coma."

Taylor replied, "Wait the ones who cause him to be in that coma are in that diamond, I wish to find his life's work, which were stolen, but also those villains that escaped from Heathrow Penitentiary are there too, but I must help one of them, for she is being forced to used what her talent of crime was against her will, I will defeat these people, and get the stuff they stole from my brother, then I will go to prison."

Carmelita soon lowered her pistol, and said, "Okay, tell me everything," Taylor soon explained what had happened, and Carmelita was at first couldn't believe her, but then some of the story sort of made sense, and explained the break in at Heathrow, she then said, "Well, seems you have a big adventure then, well I want in, for I wish to have those criminals back behind bars, if you do that, then I will pardon your thievery at the museum."

Taylor smiled, and said, "Thank you Inspector," she then was relieved. She soon turned to Bentley, and said, "Anyway, let me see that machine."

Bentley then pulled a lever, and said, "Okay here it is," and soon everyone looked, and Taylor looked confused what the machine looked like.

She soon said, "The machine looks like a sit in hair dryer you see in barbershops and beauty salons."

Bentley replied, "Yes, I found one that was on a curb as if it will be thrown away, it was the only way to get one without stealing and getting the cops on us," looking at Carmelita fearfully, and continued, "I even managed to make a small replica for Tess so she can join in, all you two do is just sit there, and I will power it up, for I have already set up the Dark Diamond into the machine so you can join in, don't worry, you won't die for it won't shock you, so good luck you too."

Taylor and Tess soon sat on the machine, and the dome went over their heads, and Bentley powered it up, and soon Taylor and Tess soon felt as if they were going into the vortex, and are ready to help Alice in her Wonderland.

Phew, that was a bit longer, and sorry for the delay, anyway, I originally planned for Carmelita to find the hideout at the end of another fanfic, but I thought otherwise, anyway, I hope whoever finds this fanfic during their search for good ones, please review, and leave a like, just no flames
