"Is she ok?"

"Yeah, she'll be fine as soon as she realizes this is real."

"From the look on her face earlier, that won't happen for a while."

"You all can eat shit," I said as I woke up. I opened my eyes to see a smiling, upside down Kellin and my mom. Andy was kneeling next to me, still holding my hand and running his other hand over the old marks on my arm. "I wasn't dreaming?" Andy shook his head. "So I really am in the presence Mr. Quinn and Mr. Biersack?"

Kellin shook his head. "You're in the presence of no one. You are hanging out with Kellin and Andy. And very soon, you should be eating," he said.

"Food sucks," I muttered. Mom explained to them that I don't eat in the morning cause I get sick if I do. "However, I could go for some tea or an energy drink. But first." I sat up. "What the hell do these keys go to, mom?" She just pointed outside. I pulled back the curtains and saw a dark blue car in the driveway and a police box in the yard.

"Press this key," she said pointing at the smaller of the keys. I pressed it and the door of the police box opened.

"No. Fucking. Way. Is that…is that the TARDIS? Like, the real version?"

She just smiled and nodded. I ran out of the house with Kellin and Andy trailing close behind. I ignored the cold bite of the snow on my bare feet and ran inside the police box. "It's bigger…."

"On the inside. I know. Everyone says that," came a British accent. "You're late, Alice. Very, very late. You've missed my tea party."

I turned and saw the Doctor. Not just any old physician. The Doctor. Kellin stared at him, too. Andy looked around the TARDIS, walked out and walked around the box, then came back in confused. "Wait, how did..? Why is it smaller outside than inside?" he asked.

"Good question. But I think, for the moment, we should all go back inside little Alice's house and chitchat. Don't you think so, Alice?" asked the Doctor.

"Um," I stuttered, "sure, why not. The more, the merrier."

So in we went. We sat on my couch, Kellin on my left, Andy on my right, the Doctor in my uncle's chair, and mom and dad on the loveseat. Kellin, Andy, and I all had (each) two Monsters and a Rockstar while we devised a plan for the day. The three of us were going to go to the mall and get some clothes, then we were going to go with the Doctor in the TARDIS for however long we wanted to. I went downstairs to get dressed for the coming day while everyone else hung out.

I dressed in a BVB T-shirt and dark jeans with my wallet and bandana. When I got upstairs, Andy took one look at my shirt and grinned proudly while Kellin looked saddened. "I don't have any SWS shirts yet. Please don't be sad, Kellin," I explained.

"I will meet you guys back here when you're done. Have fun, kids." said the Doctor. And with that, our trio exited to my new car.

I drove us to the mall. Kellin asked me where the Hot Topic was while Andy got ambushed at the front door. Kellin wasn't get mobbed cause he was wearing camouflage for the mall (that, and he was hiding behind me). Andy got done signing stuff (and people) and we entered the mall.

Being three days from Christmas, the place was swamped. Mothers with their little kids, fathers on their phones asking 'what was it she asked for again?', even the people-watchers sitting on the benches not doing a damn thing but sitting. I grabbed one of Andy's hands and one of Kellin's (OMG, I'm holding hands with Kellin Quinn and Andy Biersack!) and dashed through the crowd toward the first of my normal stops; Hot Topic.

Upon entering the boutique, I saw no one else there except the employees, who fangirled when they saw my presents, who still had their bows and ribbons on (which just made them that much cuter). I ran back to the shirts while Kellin and Andy got held up. I grabbed some new BVB shirts, a couple Pierce The Veil shirts, quite a few Falling in Reverse shirts, and was about to reach for the SWS shirts when someone else's hand did before mine. "Sorry," I muttered as I pulled my hand away.

"Alice, I was getting it for you," Kellin said.

I facepalmed. "I'm an idiot. Sorry, Kellin."

"You're not an idiot," he replied as he reached for more SWS shirts, shamelessly promoting his band, and I noticed he had both hands empty. So I dumped all my shirts on him. He kinda swayed for a minute, but recovered and laughed. "What else do you want?" he asked, gesturing to the pile in his hands.

"You don't want me to answer that," I said chuckling. Then Andy came up and I grabbed him and pulled him toward the Nightmare Before Christmas stuff and loaded up his arms with it. "Oh, and this, too!" I grabbed some jewelry and some bags, then met Kellin and Andy at the register. 'Wait, how am I gonna pay for this?' I thought.

"I'll cover it, Alice," Kellin said as he pulled out his wallet.

"No, no, no. Andy, would you be a dear and take his wallet away from him?" I asked. Andy grabbed Kellin's wallet and started to run out of the store with it. Kellin ran after him yelling, "you bastard, gimme my money!" Not the best thing to yell in a mall full of people.

"Sorry about them. They're…special," I said trying to think of a way to describe them easily.

"Don't worry about it. My boyfriend is weird too."

"Wait, do you think I'm dating one of them?"

"Of course. Why else would he want to pay for your things or hang out with you unless he was getting laid?"

That bitch! "Stop right there. 1, I am single. Don't assume things about people you don't know, one day it'll get you into a whole hell of a lot of trouble. 2, how the hell do you know they don't just want to hang out with me? You don't know me, you don't get to make accusations about me."

"Whatever. Your total's $513.76."

I handed her the cash and started to pick up my bags when Andy ran back in, with Kellin close behind. Both of them had run out of breath yet helped me carry my stuff. Because of how much crap I got, we made a trip out to my car before finishing our shopping spree.

"Are you ok? You seemed kinda pissed when we left," Kellin asked.

"I'm fine," I said putting on my fake smile again. Very few people can see through it since I've had so long to perfect it. Gladly, Kellin wasn't one of those people.

On the way back in, Andy asked if we could stop for a minute so he could take a smoke. So we stopped at one of the benches outside and I stole his lighter and a ciggie. He seemed a bit surprised, but he was more surprised that I stole it right as he pulled it out of his pack.

"I keep forgetting to ask, but how's Juliet?"

"Well," he said timidly, "when she heard about the fact that I was gonna be practically living with an 18-year-old chick for a while, she…well, let's just say she wasn't happy. I found out from Ash the next day that she'd slept with Ronnie Radke, so I left her when I left L.A."

"I'm so sorry, Andy," I said as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders in a hug. He hugged me back and said, "I'll be ok, Alice. Promise."

After we finished our cigs, the three of us hooked our elbows together and set off for our next stop; Spencer's! Upon arriving, however, I remembered why I never spend money at Spencer's. Everything is overpriced crap for strippers and college frat boys, so we quickly exited and elected to head home with my bag of goodies.

When got back, Kellin noticed the lack of a police box in the yard right as the Doctor was coming out front. He moved the TARDIS so people wouldn't freak out, so there was now a bright blue police box, in the middle of my backyard, with four people going into it, three of whom were carrying lots of bags. Nope, no reason to flip out there.

"So, all of space and time, everything that ever was and ever will be. Where do you want to start?" asked the Doctor.

"Wonderland," I said.

Yay, time for Wonderland! :)
