(A/N): Ugh, I think I'm just going to go ahead and post everything at once, or maybe like half of it at once. Everything's already written out so it doesn't really matter. Anyways, enjoy a short chapter from Alice's perspective! Chapters get longer later; I promise.

Alice and her original story belong to Lewis Carroll, not me.

"Alice, please pay attention!" Lorina Mathilda Liddel, known as Lori to her family and friends, chided her younger sister.

Alice was ungracefully sprawled out on her back and running her stubby kid-fingers through the air, undoubtedly conjuring up some sort of Fantasy. "Lori, what would you do if a little Martian man were to come down from the sky and-"

"Alice, now is not the time for your silly little fantasies! You should be taking this seriously; I'm trying to help you with your history." Lori sighed and frowned, wishing that just once Alice would take her lessons seriously.

"But Lo-ri, history is so boriiiinnngg. I want to go on an Adventure! I want to make history!" Alice sat up, her blue eyes sparkling with anticipation from the sheer idea of something beyond her everyday history lessons.

"You should be careful what you wish for, Alice. Now, listen to your lessons. You are a young lady and should behave as such." Lori again chided Alice, but a glint of amusement was present in her eyes, as she recalled herself at the same age.

"Okay. In 1642..."

Alice was lost at '1642', eyes closed and dreaming up another fantasy where she grew wings and lived on a cloud. She pushed back a yawn as the evening insects buzzed hypnotically and the stifling, humid air pressed down on her too-heavy dress Lori had just insisted she wear.

"I gotta go I'mlateI'mlateI'mlatelatelate!" A faraway voice made its way to Alice's ears, disturbing her increasingly drowsy fantasy.

Her eyes flew open and flitted over to Lori. It couldn't have been her, Lori is too...proper to talk in such a manner. Alice's head flopped to the other side, just in time to see the snowball tail of a rabbit wearing a coat jacket dash through a bush. A clothed rabbit? Impossible! I must be seeing things!

Alice sat up and glanced at her sister, pleased that she was too engrossed in reading aloud from the history book to notice if she were to say, slip away and go on a little Adventure. Alice crawled away as stealthily as possible. A little difficult in such a puffy dress, but she managed to get away unseen and unheard. She crept around the bush that the rabbit had dashed through, just in time to see him pausing to check a golden pocket watch.

"Excuse me, sir Rabbit, what is it that you are late for? Mayhap I could help you?" Alice knelt down to be level with the rabbit, who had turned his attention to her.

"Such indignation! Why, I'm a hare, not a silly rabbit! Now I must be going! I'm already late!" He frowned sharply at her and adjusted the gold monocle that rested on his right eye.

"What are you late for?" Alice stood up, ready to follow him as he turned to dash off again.

"Can't talk now, Miss. I'm late!"

He dashed off even faster than before. Alice sprinted after him, fists balled and a look of determination furrowing her brows. He disappeared from view as he bobbed through the underbrush and shrubbery, but Alice caught up to him just in time to see him dash into a large hole, big enough to fit her small form. She couldn't stop following him now, could she? She got down on her hands and knees and peered into the hole. It certainly was big enough to fit her for quite a ways...

"Mr. Hare?" her voice echoed eerily down the tunnel.

"Latelatelatelatelate!" the hare's distant voice echoed back.

Alice began to crawl through the dirt tunnel, paying no mind to the damp earth that was quickly soiling the front of her dress.

"It's so dark in here..." Alice mumbled to herself, voice echoing eerily off the dank tunnel walls that hung with tree roots. "Mr. Hare, where are y-Aaaaaahhhhh!"

Suddenly, the ground disappeared beneath her and she began plunging head-first through the darkness, cold air whipping past her face. Alice snapped her eyes shut as a painfully intense, bright light blinded her. She felt a sharp jolt of pain wrack her body as her head collided with something hard. Darkness overcame her vision, and losing consciousness, she went limp where she lay. Hours passed as she unknowingly lay in a foreign terrain, her exposed skin quickly burning to a bright red.

What she wouldn't find out for many years was that she wound up in a world very different than the one she was supposed to go to.
