Second chapter is here! Please review, they make me do the happy dance! XD

"It can't be the wrong Alice! This is Alice Kingsly, her mail says so!" The white rabbit pulled an envelope out of his waist coat and waved it in the air.

The two boys step forward, their clothing matched just as much as their looks; identical.

One of the boys poked the girl's upper arm and turned to the other, "Well, if she was she might be."

"But if she isn't she ain't." Replied the second boy.

By now the large hare that had remained quiet through the whole ordeal was finding it hard to contain himself; with a sudden outburst he picked up Alice and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Let's take her anyways!"

With this the hare dove under the bed and disappeared with Alice. The others stood in shock; soon the two boys grew tired of staring at the space under the bed and decided to follow their friend. Once they too had disappeared the white rabbit spoke up.

"I told you it was a bad idea to bring him." He huffed looking at his pocket watch.

The mouse just sighed and pushed past him to climb under the bed, followed closely by the rabbit. The trip through the portal was a short one, but Alice wasn't awake to tell the difference. With a soft thud and a slight roll the hare and the young girl landed in a strange world. All the movement caused Alice to open her eyes; she rubbed her eyes and waited for them to adjust to the difference in light and to take in her surroundings.

She found herself encircled with odd looking trees, weird insects and she was almost certain that the flowers had faces. Alice stood and slowly turned until her gaze fell upon a twitching hare who suddenly looked quite worried.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked.

"I shouldn't 'ave done that." But instead of explaining he merely burst out laughing.

"What an odd dream." The white haired girl continued to look around, choosing to ignore the manic laughter below her.

An abrupt sound caused Alice to turn around for the fourth time; it was the other creatures from her room that seemingly appeared from nowhere. She had to quickly step to the left the avoid colliding with any of them. Alice stared as the white rabbit adjusted his coat and took out his watch; it was gold with silver trim and the numbers were marked in Roman numerals. Upon seeing the time the rabbit seemed to become very frantic.

"We must get you to the White Queen at once; we're nearly late!" He explained.

"But she's the wrong Alice!" The mouse argued.

"How can I be the wrong Alice when this is my dream?" Alice looked at the group questioningly.

The rabbit turned to the mouse with an 'I-told-you-so' look on his face. "If that's not the real Alice then I don't know who is."

Finally giving in, the mouse nodded her head and the group began to wander further into the strange forest. Each of the twin boys had grabbed one of Alice's hands in their own and led her toward an enormous castle. As Alice got closer, she felt her mouth go slack; the castle looked like it touched the sky. It walls were pure white and the grass in the court yard was the most beautiful shade of green she had ever seen.

The group were greeted by overgrown chess pieces that followed them through the winding passages and proceeded to open the door to a magnificent court room. Although Alice had stopped moving out of shock, the boys continued to lead her forward. At the far end on the room a beautiful woman dressed in white stood and awaited their arrival. Once in front of the woman the others in the group stooped into very low bows. Alice on the other hand just looked around completely dumbfounded; she had never had such a vivid dream.

"Alice?" The White Queen held out her hand and waited.

Alice looked at the Queen with wide eyes, how did she know my name? The thought quickly fled her mind when the woman in front of her stepped closer. A hand reached out and held hers; giving it a light squeeze.

"Alice, are you okay? You look ever so different since your last visit; your hair was longer and darker." She glanced over to the others, "Are you sure this is her, no offence my love, but you don't seem to have any… umm… well…"

"Muchness." A male voice came from the far end of the court.

As he stepped closer, Alice could see that he was dressed differently to the others; his coat was old, his pants didn't quite reach the floor and his top hat seemed to be burned in places. He would appear very dull if it wasn't for his bright orange hair and colourful face. Finally he stood right in front of the new comer and she could see that his eyes were a wonderful shade of baby blue.

"And she does have muchness, Alice has always had muchness, it's just hiding, but I can see it." With this the Hatter threw his arms around Alice and gripped tighter. "I have missed you Alice, you're a bit late for tea, but I forgive you."

Gently, Alice pushed away to find the man's eyes had gone even lighter and he was blinking back tears. Her stomach clenched with guilt, she may have not known the man that stood staring at her, but he (for some strange reason) acted like he'd known her all his life. Alice looked directly into his nearly white eyes and felt her own tears well up inside her. Without warning the tears she tried so hard to hold back now rolled down her cheeks with no sign of stopping.

The Hatter once again threw his arms around Alice and she hugged back; burying her face in his neck. After a while the Queen wiped a single salty droplet from her face and cleared her throat, grabbing the attention of everyone in the room. Alice pulled away from the strange man and gave a weak smile; rubbing her face she looked at the White Queen who appeared to be waiting for her to say something.

"I know you seem so sure of me, but I've never been here before, I must be the wrong Alice." She brushed off her pants, straightened her blouse and held out her hand, "My name is Alice Kingsly; I hope this confusion hasn't been any trouble."

The Queen reluctantly took her hand and Alice gave it a small shake.

"I love your dress by the way, is it for a costume party? Who are you supposed to be?" Alice smiled as she looked over the dress.

"This is the dress I wear when meeting with my Champion and I am Queen Miriana. No costume party." The Queen smiled, "And I think it is time for some late tea, Tarrant if you would be so kind as to escort our guest to the dining hall?"

Tarrant's eyes suddenly changed to a grass green as he smiled wildly, "Of course you're Majesty."
