-Jefferson Airplane-
Roxas winced as he was pushed forward by one of the cards, Axel next to him. They were in a large courtyard, it was surrounded on all sides by the hedge walls. it seemed more like a court room. A jury box on the left, a stand in the middle. At the end of the courtyard was a large and tall throne like chair. Sitting in that throne, the judge and who Roxas guessed, was the Red Queen. But as they were prodded forward he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
"Kairi!" he exclaimed. She was both Sora's and his best friend. But now, he was going to be put on trial before her!?
"Teuiq!" a silver haired man beside them bellowed. Dressed in silver and white armor he reminded Roxas of the old knights of the round table. He seemed to be personally looking over their temporary confinement. The vine like cuffs that had been wound around their wrist were rubbing his skin raw.
"What? I can't underst-"
"Xemnas!" Kairi shouted, glaring down at the boy. "Silence him!"
"Neeup ym sey!" the man seemed to ramble as he walked over to Roxas. The blonde inched away, shoulder coming in contact with Axel's.
Axel growled protectively at the white knight, tail twitching in annoyance. Xemnas merely ignored him, reaching out for the boy, the Cheshire seemed to suddenly gain some kind of hidden strength. Breaking the vines around his wrist he yanked Roxas behind him, baring his teeth and hissing at the knight. A low, threatening growl rumbled though his chest and Xemnas narrowed his eyes.
"Em netearht erad ouy?" he snarled.
"Xemnas!" Kairi yelled.
The man looked up at the Red Queen. "Sey?"
"If you can't detain them, then bring me the other one!" she shouted, pointing her scepter in some general direction. Roxas couldn't help but huddle into the back of his protector.
The man nodded, walking past the two. "Axel" he whispered.
The red head glared at Xemnas as he walked by before turning to the boy. "What?"
"How exactly am I supposed to beat Red Queen!?" he hissed looking at the girl on the throne. She was wearing a long, flowing red dress. Embroidered in black velvet and other things.
"We just have to get through our trial" he whispered reaching around, a claw slicing through the vines easily. The blonde rubbed his wrists, standing closer to the red head.
"How do we-" his sentence stopped when he saw just who the white knight was bringing into the court.
A petite blonde haired girl was struggling as he dragged her up to the podium like stand in the middle of the courtyard. She wrenched her wrist out of his hand, glaring daggers she straightened her dress and looked up at the Red Queen.
"Alice" Kairi started, standing up to seem just that much taller.
"Yes?" she snapped stamping a black heel in annoyance.
"How dare you talk to me like that! And helping this-this intruder of our world!" she screeched, thrust her scepter in the direction of Roxas. The blonde raised an eyebrow.
"He's not an intruder!" Namine yelled back "He's my friend and I'm just guiding him!"
Kairi gave an annoyed screech "Don't talk back to me! You wretch, I gave you a chance from the guillotine. But now! Off with her head!" the girl screamed. "Off with her head!" anger flaring in her eyes as she thrust her scepter down, calling the cards.
"No! Axel! We have to help Namine or ah! Alice!" Roxas yelled.
The red head smiled, "That shouldn't be a problem!" The red head leapt away from the blonde to the petite girl. She gasped in surprise but eagerly accepted the red head's hand.
Numerous cards started to flood into the courtyard. Roxas watched as Kairi was screaming at the cards to capture them and off with Alice's head! Axel pushed the girl toward Roxas. The blonde girl fell into the boys arm and Roxas was quick to protect her from the mass of cards and their spears.
"Meht teg!" Xemnas shouted. But it seemed the Cheshire had tricks up his own sleeves. Both blondes watched as the cat easily ripped through the cards. Claws tearing the flimsy pieces of paper to shreds.
Kairi was screaming at the top of her lungs. Swinging her scepter, more cards pilling in and just as quickly were cut down. The snarling Cheshire seemed to be in a trance, ducking and weaving as he defeated card after card. Picking up forgotten spears, stabbing and ripping through the cards. Just as soon as it started it was done, the blondes surrounded by scraps of paper. Pieces flitting in the air as Axel dropped a black spear.
"Xemnas!" Kairi started "I order- AH!" she screamed in pure horror as the Cheshire bounded to the top of the throne.
The red head grabbed the scepter the Red Queen was about to strike him with. He wrenched it out of her hand and threw it away, gripping her wrist he spun her around, an arm coming to wrap around her neck and he turned to face Xemnas.
But it seemed the other side was ready too. Roxas was captured in the arms of Xemnas, Namine seemingly unconscious next to them.
"Just show us the door and we'll leave white knight!"
"Tsk, tsk Cheshire. You threaten my queen's life and then expect me not to take some sort of revenge?" Xemnas growled and Roxas cried out as the arm around his neck tightened.
"Show us the door and you'll have your queen back!" Axel yelled, Karir screaming as the cat jumped from the throne.
Roxas whimpered as he felt the hold on his throat tighten more as Axel approached. His body trembled as he felt his breath becoming short gasp. He couldn't get enough air into his lungs and his head was becoming light.
Suddenly Roxas was thrust away from the white knight, Axel discarding the Red Queen. The Cheshire dashed forward, catching the blonde, Roxas gasped and shook as air rushed into his lungs in gasp.
"Just leave my world you wretched intruder" Kairi yelled, clinging to Xemnas for support.
"Show us the door" Axel growled as Roxas broke from the mans grasp to kneel by Namine.
"Fine, but you leave the girl, she's mine" the queen hissed,
"No I won-"
"Roxas, leave her, you need to leave this place" Axel stated pulling the boy up.
"B-But-"
"Dormouse!" Kairi yelled straightening her dress.
"Yes!?" a squeaky voice piped up. Everyone looked to see a black mouse with large round ears and a big smile scurry in.
"Open the door Mickey, I want this intruder gone" Kairi instructed.
"Alright Kairi!" the black mouse scurried over to a far hedge wall, they watched as the mouse took a white gloved hand and pressed it to the wall and the wall lit up in the shape of a door. "Here ya go!" the small mouse smiled walking away from it.
"Come on Roxas, its time for you to go now" Axel said dragging the boy to the door.
"B-but! Namine! Sora and Riku, where will you all go? Where am I going?" he asked anxiously staring at the door. The mouse was pulling it open, it lead into nothing, white, nothingness.
"We'll be fine" he smiled.
"Yup! Roxas, you'll be fine! Remember, feed your head!"
The blonde looked down at the mouse "Huh?"
"Feed your head, with the right stuff!" Mickey smiled.
Axel smiled "Exactly" he leaned down, a smile on his lips as he pecked the boy on the lips. "Go on, Roxas, they're waiting"
Roxas opened his mouth to ask who but the Cheshire pushed him away, toward the open door. Axel gave a small wave and Mickey closed the door. Roxas shut his eyes. The whiteness around him too much. He was just falling, falling. Till his body hit something, soft. Sheets. A pillow. A bed.

Black lashes fluttered to reveal crystalline eyes. A steady beeping filled the air, his body felt heavy, exhausted. He groaned, trying to place a hand to his head, but a sharp pain in his arm stopped him. Looking down, focusing, there was a needle in his arm, leading up to a package of fluid that seemed to be hydrating him.
"Roxas!? Roxas! You're awake!" a familiar voice said in relief and his mother appeared by his bedside.
"M-mom?" he rasped, shifting in the tight sheets. "Where-"
"We're at the hospital honey" she said, and he felt his chest tighten for there were tears in her eyes.
"Why?"
"I came home to check on you and found you on your bed. You wouldn't respond to my calls" she whispered. "So I took you here and they said... why would you-"
"Aerith" a stern voice said and his mother stood up.
"I'm sorry Cloud! I'm just so-" his mother buried her face into his father chest.
"It won't happen again" Roxas whispered. Not after that dream I had
"Well I certainly hope not" a strikingly familiar voice spoke up.
Roxas looked up to the door of his room. A man with flaming red hair, dazzling green eyes and two tattoos under his eyes walked in.
"Axel!" the blonde exclaimed.
The man raised an eyebrow but smiled "Doctor Axel, but, you can call me Axel"
"Is he going to be alright Doctor!?" his mother asked wiping tears from her eyes.
"Yes, but we'd like to keep him over night to observe his vitals" Axel said looking down at the chart in his hands.
"Of course!" his mother hurriedly agreed. "I just want to make sure my baby is okay!"
His father nodded "Yes, me too"
"Good" Axel smiled.

Roxas couldn't help but feel a little lonely as he sat in his bed. Visiting hours had ended and now he was alone. But, it wasn't for long. The door to his dimly lit room opened and who else but Axel would've walked in. A smile on his features.
"Evening Roxas, how are you?" he asked walking over to the boys bedside.
"Alright, so I'm guessing you'll probably tell me to lay off the drugs and eat a few carrots?" he asked tucking a lock of hair behind his ear.
Axel laughed, it was so familiar. Exactly like he had been dreaming of. "I think you summed it up for me." He was checking the monitor beside the bed.
"Hey Axel" the blonde started, looking over at the red head.
Inquiring green met blue and Roxas just wanted to lean in and kiss the man. To feel that sudden spark of passion that had happened in the hedge maze. But, then again, the man hadn't even been there. All of it hadn't been real.
"Have you ever, seen Alice In Wonderland?" he asked.
The red head raised an eyebrow "When I was a child if I remember correctly. Why?" he was scribbling something down on his clipboard.
"When I look at you" his eyes traced over the mans sharp features.
"Yes?"
"You remind me of the Cheshire cat" the blonde finished with a small smile.
"Oh? Do I?" he chuckled. "Well, for the moment, this Cheshire cat is just making sure you get better"
Roxas smiled and nodded "Yeah, I'm glad" he whispered and a smile crossed the mans lips.
"Good night Roxas" he whispered walking out of the room.
"Good night Cheshire" the blonde whispered and settled back into the white bed to sleep. Not of an upside down world but of just normal, everyday teenager things.
