Arielle shot up out of bed. Arielle placed her hand on her forehead, it was covered in sweat.

Then everything started to come back to her.

She had the most horrible dream. She was falling into a deep hole...and she had hit her head on many things...and then she remembered seeing a little white rabbit...and having tea with-

"Good Morning!" Alice cheered.

Arielle jumped up. "Oh! Mom!" Geez...can't these people leave me alone...

"Happy thirteenth birthday honey!" Charles laughed.

Alice walked over to her daughter and hugged her. "Thanks mom, this is great! I can't wait till my party!" Arielle lied right through her teeth.

Alice hugged her daughter tighter and giggled. "I'm so happy to hear that! Now, get dressed. And this time where your finest dress. And I will see you down stairs."

Alice turned around the head for the door but then Arielle had just remembered her dream. "Mom!" Arielle yelled.

Alice jumped. "Yes Arielle? Is something wrong?"

Arielle looked up at her mother shyly. She never talked about personal things like this with her mother. "Um yeah..last night I had this really weird dream, and it was kinda like your story last night and-" Then there was a sudden knock on the door down stairs.

Alice quickly ran out of Arielle's and yelled to her down the hall. "Now don't be worrying about scary dream, there not real after all."

Arielle sat on her bed and thought this over for a minute.

Mom's probably right. It was just a dream, it's not real. But it just felt so real...Oh never mind Arielle! Your sounding like a mad person!

Arielle jumped off her bed and ran over to her closet. She picked out her favorite purple dress, because that was her favorite color. Arielle curled her hair and put on a gold heart locket necklace that someone had brought her when she was born. No one ever knew who he was...

Arielle knew almost the whole town was waiting for her down stairs to "surprise" her when she got down stairs so she had to make sure she looked her best. She stared at her self in the mirror for a minute. For some reason she had a feeling that something great was going to happen today but she just couldn't imagine what.

"Arielle?" Alice called for Arielle probably wanted to know what the heck was taking her so long.

"Coming!" Arielle yelled back.

Okay Arielle. We can do this. Like mom said, if Mary can battle one big monster, I can handle one little Birthday party.

Arielle walked out of her room slowly and slammed her door so everyone down stairs would hear her coming. Arielle walked, more liked ran, down the stairs. When Arielle got down to the last step she didn't see anyone there and all the lights were off.

Of course.

Arielle smirked to her self. She paced around the house looking confused because she knew they were watching her. "Hello? Where is everyone?"

Then something bit her leg. "Ow!" Arielle screamed. Her little kitten Wizard was purring at her feet. She picked up Wizard. "Where do you think they are Wizard?" Arielle asked. Wizard meowed to the kitchen door. Arielle petted Wizard and opened the door to the kitchen.

Suddenly all the lights turned on. "Surprise!" Everyone yelled. Arielle's mouth was hanging open. Everyone was there!

My mom must have invited the whole town!

Everyone crowded around Arielle with there gifts and said Happy Birthday. Arielle said her thanks and tried to make her way to the backyard where the party was. Finally Arielle made her way through the ocean of people, who most of them she didn't even know. Arielle made her way to her mother.

"Mom!" Arielle smiled.

Alice looked surprised. "Arielle! Are you enjoying your party?"

Arielle rolled her eyes. "Yeah it's great mom..."

Alice frowned. A wave a guilt hit Arielle. I mean, it's not her moms fault... Arielle hugged her mother. "I'm sorry mom. I really mean it, this party is amazing!"

"Thank you darling. Why aren't you playing with the other kids?" Alice asked.

The last thing Arielle wanted to think about is those rotten, no good, selfish-

"Arielle?"

"Oh, um, well, I'd just much rather stay here with you" Arielle was such a horrible liar.

"Oh dear! You shouldn't be scared of those kid-"

"I'm not scared of them! There the ones who are mean to me!" Arielle yelled.

"Please! Arielle! Don't shout. People are staring!" Alice whispered.

Arielle crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't care!" Arielle mumbled.

Alice frowned and placed her hands on Arielle's shoulders. "I thought we weren't going to act like this." It wasn't really a question.

Arielle frowned too. "I know...I just blow up sometimes..."

Alice giggled. That reminded Alice of the time when the Mad Hatter and herself were both stuck in the Red Queens castle and Hatter had to make the Queen hats.

"What is it mom?" Arielle said worried.

"Oh nothing dear, you just remind me of a old friend" Alice said.

Arielle looked at her mother strangely. "Um, okay then..."

Her mother scanned her eyes among the crowd and finally found who she was looking for. "Look who's over there?" Alice whispered in her daughters ear.

Arielle gasped.

It was Andrew. Andrew Krupp. Andrew was Arielle's crush ever sense she was a little girl. Andrew was one of Arielle's best friends, beside her friend Mileah Arnoux, he was the only person who didn't make fun of her. Poor Arielle wanted Andrew to know she liked him but he had a girlfriend named Angela who was really mean to Arielle. But Arielle knew Andrew would never really like her because Angela's parents had already planned for Andrew and Angela to get married when there older. But that wasn't going to stop Arielle from trying.

Arielle glided across the crowd to Andrew. "Hi Andrew!"

Andrew turned around quickly and smiled when he saw her. "Arielle! Happy birthday!" Andrew hugged her for a moment but it felt like forever to Arielle.

Arielle rocked back and forth on her heels. "Where's Angela?" Arielle asked shyly.

"Right here"

Arielle knew that voice. It was her voice. Angela Brookstone. Angela was very pretty on the outside but terribly ugly on the inside. That reminded Arielle of someone from the story her mom had told her the night before...

"Oh...hello Angela" Andrew frowned.

"Hi Andrew!" Angela cheered. "What are you two talking about over here?"

Arielle didn't say anything for a long moment. All the silence was about to drive Arielle mad.

"Um, I'll be back in a minute" Arielle smiled, even though she was frowning on the inside.

Arielle ran into the woods and sat on a log and cried her eyes out. She didn't even really know why she was crying, she never cried. Apparently all the tears she had been holding in for so long came rushing to the surface. Suddenly she heard a voice come from behind her.

"Arielle?"

Arielle's heart fell into her stomach.

"Andrew..?" Arielle squeaked.

"Arielle! Your okay! Your mom told every one to leave and you weren't feeling well after you ran into the woods. I thought you threw up or something so I came to check up on you" Andrew smiled.

Arielle jumped off the log and hugged Andrew. "Aw, thanks Andrew your so sweet but I'm fine by the way."

Andrew pulled back. "Okay, well I have to go, mother and Angela are waiting for me. Happy birthday" Andrew waved and ran off. Arielle noticed how he said Angela's name.

Arielle giggled to her self. He made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Arielle sat back on her log and day dreamed about Andrew. Suddenly something ran by Arielle's foot.

"What the..." Arielle whispered. Arielle got up and ran away. After about five minutes of running Arielle started to get worried.

I thought I would have been back at home by now...

The sky started to get dark so Arielle stopped running and instead walked in case she tripped over anything. Branches scraped her arms and face. Arielle started to cry again.

"How am I ever going to get back home..." Arielle cried.

Then she saw a white rabbit. She squinted her eyes to get a better look, it was so dark outside and the only thing that lit her way was the moon light. Arielle gasped.

Does that rabbit have a...watch?

Then the rabbit flew off. Arielle couldn't help it. Before she knew it she was chasing after the rabbit her self. And then...

She fell. And fell. And fell?
