On the previous chapter: "Chairman and Yagari sensei? What are you 2 doing here?"
Still in Yuuki's POV~
Yagari sensei was drinking a cup of tea as he noticed me "Oh? I didn't know there was a guest" he said as he put his teacup down.
Chairman Cross was preparing tea and had his back towards us, he turn around and looked, "Oh my! A guest! Come! Join us in our tea party! You can be our guest of honor" he smiled cheerfully holding a teapot in his hands.
I looked at Yagari sensei then at the chairman, then and Yagari sensei, then back to chair man Cross again, it took about 5 minutes of looking back and forth to realize something is officially off here. Here is a brief description on what they look like : Yagari sensei is like his normal self, but instead of wearing a cowboy hat like he usually do, he's wearing a brown top hat and for his clothes it was an untidy brown suit and his still wearing the eye patch.
Chairman Cross is still his bubbly old self, but he seems to be wearing a waiter's suit, with a red vest and white long sleeve, to add to that he has 2 brown bunny ears sticking out of his head, he still has glasses on though.
This was just… weird. My mind can't process things too quickly. So I was staring at them eyes wide and mouth hanging open. So I ask them my question one more time.
"Chairman! Yagari sensei! What are you 2 doing here? What's with the tea party?"
Yagari looked at me as if I'm crazy "What chairman? Who's this Yagari sensei? and who are YOU?"
"You are Yagari sensei and that is Chairman Cross! and I am... er... I... can't...remember..".
"No… My name is not Yagari sensei, I am the Mad Hatter and bunny ear's over there is the March Hare, you can't even remember your own name?"
"What? But…that's…he is… you are… wha?" I'm seriously hurting my brain with all this confusion.
Chairman… or the so called March Hare popped up in front of me and almost…I said ALMOST scare the life out of me, "Come now! There's no need of such confusion! Let's sit and have a cup of tea to sip!"
I followed him and sit between him and the Mad Hatter, after I sat down, they stared at me as if expecting me to do something. I stared at the plate and empty teacup in front of me, not really sure what I should do as I'm getting more nervous than before.
Then the silence broke when Yagari- I mean the Mad Hatter voiced out "Hey, Miss! We can't wait all day you know! Hurry up!"
I was literally panicking "Wha?...what? Am I supposed to do something?"
"Yes! Yes you are! You are suppose to serve the tea!"
"Aren't I the guest?"
"My point exactly! The guest of honor is to serve tea! Didn't you know that?" he's patience seem to be thinning.
"What? Why is the guest needs to serve the tea?"
"Miss, are you a mental escapee?" asked the Mad Hatter.
"No I'm not!"
"Hey… Maybe she's ... 'THAT'..." stated the March Hare.
"Probably, I never know someone who doesn't even know the simple rules of a tea party" grunted the Mad Hatter.
"I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about…"
"We will tell it to you later, after you serve the tea.." said the March Hare.
"Ok...ok..."
So I did as they told me and prepared the tea, I have no idea how to prepare tea, because every time I tried to help back at the academy, things turn out… not so good. Plus, this time I don't even understand the words on the labels. It looks like foreign cursive writing.
So, I just do as I always do, dumped all of it in and see what happens. Smart don't you think? After that I served the tea to them, miraculously they drink it as if drinking a cup of plain water.
So I sat down and wanting to take a sip at the tea I made, thinking as I actually did a good job at it. When I brought the tea up to my mouth and barely sipped a drop of it, I spit the tea that was in my mouth and dropped the cup to the floor. Ok, THAT!... was disgusting! How did they drink it I have not a single clue.
They saw me and acted as nothing happen and continue drinking their tea normally. So when they finally finished, the Mad Hatter put his teacup on the table delicately and looked at me.
"From the looks of it you don't seem to come from here, which world did you come from little girl?"
"Err… I'm not entirely sure… where am I anyway?"
"You are in Wonderland; this is a small part of Wonderland, also known as the Forest of Odds"
"Wonderland? What the hell? I think I heard about it before…"
~Flashback~
"_ _ _~ where are you~? Time for your bedtime story~" sang the chairman.
"YAY! Bedtime stowy! What stowy is it towight? Huh? Huh? Huh?" jumped the excited 7 year old me.
"Tonight's story title is "Alice In Wonderland"
"Woo~ Wonderland! Read me the stowy! Read me the stowy!
"Ok…ok… lay down and I'll tell you the story"
"Once upon a time, a place not far from here….." the chairman recite the story oh-so-softly making the little 7 year old deep in sleep when the story is not even half finish yet…
~End of Flashback~
Oh! Right… I already slept before the story barely passes the starting intro… my bad… so… Let me think about it, even though in my sleep, I can still hear the chairman's voice and really little part of the story, aren't I awesome?
Weird... even in my flashback i still can't remember my name...
So… I remember there's the main character, Alice, and these two, the March Hare and the Mad Hatter, I'm pretty sure there's a Queen in here, when there's a Queen there ought to have a King, is there a rabbit in this story? Hmm… Argh! Too much thinking!
My face looked frustrated as I mentally slapped myself, and the Mad Hatter seems to stare at me with a bored look in his eyes. An awkward silence engulfed us again, so I gotta find a way to break it, and I thought of something to start a conversation with- "So… er… how's the… tea?" great! Nice going dumbass! Couldn't you have thought of something better? You really did it this time.
"It tastes horrible" the mad hatter said it out quite frankly.
I felt like an arrow shot and pierce through my body.
"It's the most disgusting thing I ever tasted."
More arrows shot through me. "Thwack!* *Thwack!* *Thwack* cold sweats started dropping down my face rapidly.
"I never tasted something so foul in my entire infinite life"
*Thwack!* *Thwack!* *Thwack!* *Thwack!* *Thwack!*
Ouch…? Talk about killing one's self esteem…
"….a-and you still drink it..?"
"Why shouldn't I? It's a tea that was prepared by our guest of honor"
"O…k…. so… do you know how am I suppose to go back to my own 'world'?"
"You'll figure it out yourself when you start exploring places"
When I was about to make a smart remark about it, suddenly there was a crash at the back of us, sounds of porcelain utensils smashed into pieces out of a sudden at the back of you will definitely make you jumped.
Both of us turn around and saw the March Hare lying on the floor surrounded by broken expensive-looking teacups. "Oh my God! Are you ok cha- I mean March Hare?" as I rushed towards him to help him stand up. I tried to carry him up using my shoulder to support his weight, he was heavier than he looks I was struggling to keep him on my shoulder while he slumped over it.
"How much do you weigh? It feels like you weigh as much as 10 tons! You should go on a diet or work out a little!"
He looked up at me, his face a little red, and smiled at me groggily. "Heh?…*Hic*…". He reeks of alcohol! I was trying my best to stop from breathing, failing epicly at it though.
The Mad Hatter looked at him, eyes slightly widen, "Hey Miss, what exactly did you put in his tea?"
"Err…..well~…. I'm not sure either…. Hehehe… " rubbing the back of my head while laughing sheepishly. "I'm pretty sure I dump- pour the ingredients that are on this table" while pointing at the table.
He came to the table and took all the ingredients and checked carefully, when he came across a blue bottle with a cork on it, he faced me and asked "Did you put this in the tea?"
I nodded slowly, he smacked his hand to his forehead and shook his head and sighing loudly.
"sigh… THIS little missy, is an extract of the Mount Sweets wine berry which is highly concentrated in alcohol…and bunny ear's over there has seriously poor control over alcohol…" an annoyed tone dripping on every word.
"Oh…. Ahahahahaha… my bad…"
He sighed once again and looked over at the March Hare, which was sitting on the floor starring in to space, giggling to himself like a retarded person. "This…..is ..bad…"
"…How so?" curiosity over taking me once again.
"You'll see…"
"*hic* Heh….stars~ *hic*…."
"…"
"…"
Oh! Once again cliff hanger! Wonder what the March Hare will do once he's drunk? Stay tuned for the next chapter!
Me: Well Zero? Want to make another bet?
Zero:… no…
Me: Hah! You admit your defeat! Oh Yeah! I am so awesome!
Zero: I didn't say I lost!
Me: You just did just now…
Zero: … true- wait! That's just a figure of speech!
Me: But you said it! I have the readers for evidence! Not to mention this conveniently placed tape recorder that was in my pocket this whole time and me not even noticing it there!
Zero: …Why do you even have a tape recorder?
Me: I dunno~ (looking away)
Zero: spit it out! I know your hiding something!
Me: Never! You will never take me ALIVE! Muahahahahahaha *cough* *cough*
Zero: …
