I know it was careless of me to just drink a mysterious liquid that seemed to magically appear in my sweater-pocket but, it didn't seem like it could kill me and it tasted very sweet. So I think it's safe to say I'm going to stay alive for quite a awhile.

After about an hour of soaking and wiping the dirt which was in places I didn't know dirt coud reach, I get out. It only took me minute to realize that I had nothing to wear upon staying here for the night.

"Shit..." I say aloud to myself. I'm sure Black and White can wash my clothes right?

I wrap my new towel around myself, shake my wet hair around like a dog attempting to make it a little dry, and walk out in bath-slippers. The Jokers said if I needed anything to come into their rooms right?

I walk across the hall and knock on the door placed at the right, "White? Um...Can you help me out here?" No answer. "White? Are in there!" I knock again. "Well, I'm just gonna come in now. Is that all right?" I open the door and to my surprise, White was nowhere to be found. "How odd..." I say to myself. I look on the night-table and see a little red note. Assuming it's from White, I pick it up and read it.

Dear Miss Mari Adriana, I went out to discuss something with the Queen of the neighboring country. Not to fret, I'll be back by morning. My brother is here to take care of you if you need something. Please no fighting. From, White Joker

"I guess I have no choice..." I'm going to be honest, Black wasn't the most pleasant person to talk to. He was the total oppisite of his brother, Loud-mouthed and very rude. I'm surprised those two share the same DNA! But, I have a feeling under all the profanity and rude-ness, there's a nice person. I'm probably wrong though.

I slip out from White's room and knock on the door on the left. "Hey um Black? You in there? I sort of need you right now..." I shyly say banging slightly on the door.

To be honest, Black was sort of intimidating. So I was almost scared to talk to him, but I'd KILL MYSELF before I actually told anyone that.

"What? Why do you need me?" He shouts bitterly from the inside. "Dammit Black! Just let me come in!" I shout back.

He finally opens the door "Alright crazy bitch, What do you-" He looks down at me before finishing his sentence. Is that a blush on HIS face? Never thought I'd see the day. "W-WHAT THE FUCK ARE DOING OUT HERE NAKED?" he shouts, covering his eyes. Way to over-react "I-I'm wearing a towel dumb-ass! I needed to ask you if I have something to wear!" I blush as well, due to the awkward atmosphere that seemed to be forming around us.

He takes his hand off his eyes, still blushing furiously "O-Open the wardrobe in your room. There should be stuff in there! God, learn to think for your fucking self!" I bow. I know he's irratated, but at least he helped me out.

"Thanks." I scamper to my room, before getting the door slammed in my face. The room in fact, was very comforting. The bed had red and black checker-board sheets, and thousands of smaller pillows on top of it. I look around and find the wardrobe Black was talking about. I open it and actually found a variety of night-gowns in it. Wait...Why would they have night-gowns here? I open the dresser and there was all sorts of clothes there too. It doesn't seem like they have a sister or anything, so why...

"I'm over thinking this." I grab the thin green night-gown, underwear and change.

"I suppose I should wish Black Joker goodnight..." I say aloud. That would be the polite thing to do right? I walk out of my room and peek my face through the open room's door on the left "Hey Black, I just wanted to wish you goodnight." He was already in bed, laying down and watching TV. He growls slightly "Bitch, if your going to talk to me don't fucking hide your face. Come out here and say what you need to say to me." Why did I come over here again?

I open the door all the way, "I said good-night." I spit back, trying to hold in whatever profanity and insults I was screaming in my head. He simply returns to his TV show, not even glancing at me and says "Yeah, you too." I decide to shut up and leave. No point in trying to reason with a rude little tart like him. I go back to my room, and settle myself in my bed. "So soft..." I mumble, burying myself under all the pillows and blankets. Before, I knew it I was drifting off into sleep

I look around and see a blank, white and gray room. It didn't seem to have a door or in fact, an end to it. "What's going-" "Well hello there Miss Mari." I nearly jump 10 feet in the air, upon hearing that voice. I look behind to see a gray haired male, I think in his twenties, floating next to me with a slight smirk on his face. His outfit, I think was similar to a pirate. Maybe it was just the eye-patch, I'm not really sure.

"I am NOT a pirate!" Wait...how did he-

"I'm an incubus you see, I can read your thoughts. Your in your own dream right now, if your wondering." This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

"Well this is Wonderland. Everyone is absolutely mad here." There he goes again. "My name is Nightmare, by the way. I see you've made yourself cpmfortable with the Jokers." I nod "Yeah they're pretty nice. AT least ONE of them is..." He smiles "So, Do you understand why your here?" "White Joker only said that I'm here because I wanted to be. That doesn't make any sense though, I think it's all just a crazy accident." He stops floating, and stands beside me. "By the look on your face, I presume your very confused." "Indeed I am." He disappears and reappears floating.

"Allow me to explain," He starts "On the surface, did you love a certain somebody?" I blush "Don't you think that's more a personal question?" He chuckles "You loved a boy by the name Alex, am I correct." I blush even harder. Why is he bringing this up?

"Alex Nate didn't love you THAT way though. He said he'd rather just be friends. This was also, a day before your father died." Everything he was saying was completely true. I was in love with my childhood friend Alex Nate. I loved his laugh, and how cutely messy his crimson-brown hair was under his Irish green hat, and they way he smiled, and the way he could never stay mad at me. "Alex Nate told you he loved somebody else, and on that day you felt like you could die. And the next day, was filled with even more heart-break."

I felt the tears coming over. Why was he reminding me of the worst two days of my life? He frowns, and wipes my tears away with his finger "I'm sorry, but please let me finish." I sniffle and nod.

"You've never wanted to expierence such heart-ache again. That's why your here. In this world, everyone loves you. Including, me. I love you too." What? "One might not show it all at once, but they do. You took it upon yourself to drink that liquid in the glass bottle, so now your apart of the game. In this particular game, at the end you can choose to stay here in Wonderland, or go home with your 'winner' as some may call it."

I was such a state of shock, I thought I might have a cardiac-arrest. "So what your telling me is...I'm a stupid teenager who wants to be in a world where everyone loves her?"

He chuckles "Not at all, but does that mean you won't fall in love by the end of the game?" I shake my head. "I must be dreaming. This couldn't possibly be real!" He chuckles again "Believe what you want. But, if that was in fact true, this moment would be inception. The first player, Alice- thought the same thing in the beginning. But, a dream can't last forever."

I knew this was real, but it was just so hard to believe.

"The longer you stay here, the more accompinied you'll become to the idea. Now, this dream is almost over. It's time for you to wake up now. See you tomorrow Miss Mari."
