Hey guys! This is this week's update. Enjoy the read!
Audrey fiddled with her hair unconsciously. She and the others fidgeted nervously while falling to their destination: Wonderland.
This is going to be a big problem, Audrey thought sourly. What if it turns out badly? Alice in Wonderland was bad enough because Alice had barely enough time to escape into the world, as we know it now. But now, there are around 100 or so other people that will disrupt the 'balance' of the Wonderland. It surely was disturbed quite a lot in the story and the movie when Alice came to visit.
Rhi cleared her throat. "So," she said. "Are we really sure that we're going to Wonderland?"
The older of the two boys shook his head.
"This can't be happening. This has to be a dream," he said in disbelief. "There's no such thing as Wonderland."
"How can you say that?" Audrey said. "It's like the alternate universe I've been waiting for! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!" She proceeded to laugh like a maniac.
When she stopped, and saw that no one got her joke, she rolled her eyes.
"I'm kidding. Can't you guys just laugh it off?"
"Laugh it off?! We're falling to our deaths here! How can we laugh at an alternate universe if it could swallow us, chew us, and spit us out?!" Rhi was hyperventilating now.
"Aw come on Rhi," Audrey said. "Surely you have been more evil once than I right now."
A sudden memory of a schoolyard with a school that looked so familiar laid itself before Audrey. There was…Rhi! And a group of other people that looked familiar sitting at a table outside of a crowded cafeteria. The people that were sitting around herself and Rhi had blank faces, so it frustrated Audrey that she couldn't tell who they were. Audrey remembered instantly that Rhi wasn't exactly on good terms with Audrey, yet they shared the same craziness of supposed 'world domination' and evil maniac desires to annoy one another.
"You," Rhi said. Her eyes now had a glint of recognition in them. Audrey couldn't really tell if it was hate, relief, or disbelief.
"Hey, how about just saying hello after having that dramatic flash back of our past lives?" Audrey asked. She flicked out her hand, palm facing up, and cocked her head to the side.
Audrey then turned to the older of the two boys. "Jerry, was it? Well Jerry, do you believe in God?"
"Uh, yeah, but what has that have anything to do with—"
"Well," began Audrey. "I believe in God as well. But, we can't see him. What if there were alternate universes that couldn't be seen, but did indeed exist? It's as possible as there are more life forms out in different solar systems or planets that we just haven't come in contact with. Until now. Now, we're falling through Wonderland, as described in Lewis Caroll's crazy book."
"True. I've never thought about it that way…." Jerry was now contemplating very hard. His hand was rubbing on chin, eyebrows close together.
"Cool! Then we can, like, eat stuff and shrink and grow, et cetera?" The younger brother was waving his hands about. He looked to and fro to see as if to see if a large tart would pop out of nowhere and shove itself into his mouth.
"It's not as cool as seeing what Cheshire cat is in real life!" Rhi squealed. "Cats are just the most adorable things. And now my favorite cat, Cheshire, will be able to appear before me!"
"You know," said Audrey. "I kind of liked it when you were all serious. I shouldn't have triggered your memory Rhi."
Rhi punched Audrey really hard on the shoulder.
"Why. You. Little…" Audrey tilted her head a little upwards, and glared downwards at her with distaste at the short sandy haired girl. She clenched both her fists and an aura of darkness surrounded her.
Restrain yourself, restrain yourself, thought virtuous Audrey. Nothing good is going to come out of this!
No, pummel her! You're stronger than her. You're taller than her. No one is going to blame you because she landed to first punch! Punch her three times as much! Thought the evil Audrey.
Let's get this done, thought evil Audrey, overwhelming virtuous Audrey.
Audrey pulled her arm back.
"Hold it!" Jerry commanded. He stuck his arm between Audrey and her victim.
"I wasn't really gonna hit her. You know that, right?" Audrey muttered darkly as she lowered her clenched fist.
"Yeah, and cows fly," Jerry replied.
Dennis turned towards Rhi. "Does she do that darky-darky-evil thing often?"
"As often as Rhi scratches and punches people," Audrey replied boldly.
The two girl lunged at each other and started a sissy cat fight.
Meanwhile…
A human...no, that is not the correct word for it. A figure, yes a figure, that looked human skipped down a long cold hallway. The sun was letting in minimum sunlight while setting towards the hills. The figure had long ears that flopped behind the figure's back. His hair was pale white, as was his abnormally large rabbit ears. He had a black militant uniform on and a katana hanging at his waist. His boots, clomping across the floor, echoed along the empty corridor's walls.
The long hallways came to an end and he abruptly halted. He looked up to a towering door in front of him that was three times his height. On its surface was many intricate designs of animals, flowers, soldiers in the shape of cards, and two queens under an enlarged girl with outstretching arms. The humanoid figure knocked on the large ornate door three times, and then stepped back, arms behind his back.
"Come in," commanded a light voice.
The door creaked open automatically inwards to a darker room.
The figure skipped inside, its large ears trailing behind. He had gone into a large extravagant room that was fit for a queen. Except, instead of a queen on the thrown, a teenage girl with a blue dress, white apron, and black hair tie sat lazily on the chair. She was slouched over, obviously bored. She had neat blonde hair in twin pigtails, and her thin black glasses had slipped down her face until it was barely hanging on to the tip of her nose.
When the figure with large bunny ears came into the room and kneeled down in front of her, she sat up with renewed interest. She quickly pushed up her glasses by nudging the bottom of the glass with her index finger. After patting down her dress and flicking back her two uneven pigtails, she addressed the figure.
"White Rabbit, it's a fine pleasure that you're back," said the girl expectantly. "I assume that Batch #13 has yet to come in through the Opening?"
The bunny-eared man bowed his head in submission.
"Yes, your honor. Soon you may carry on as you had," said White Rabbit.
The teenage girl smirked.
