Author's Note: Moshi, moshi (hello, informal in Japanese). I've been very busy with the beginning of school, which also means I have to do a bunch of extra stuff too…I finally found some time to write.

Hey, this is about one month after I wrote that. I procrastinate too much. Well, I'm hoping that I'll get more reviews~ But I'll just write at whatever pace I want to write, so expect lots of "no writing" times, k?

I'll start writing now. Please enjoy! Now I get to torture Miku. ^^

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE DRAMA, MIKU, OR ANYTHING ELSE. I only own the story.

Three is a lucky number. Or so people say…

The Third Alice

The Queen's trembling fingers dropped the glass. "In only today, two people have gone mad. It sure seems like a popular ailment, don't you think?" the Queen's voice quavered.

The brown-haired servant tried her best to reassure her panicked mistress. "Our lovely Queen," she started, "Ah…" The servant considered rephrasing her words. "Our dearest Queen, please calm yourself. There's no chance of you having that ailment, though you still haven't decided…"

"No way!" the Queen interrupted her servant, suddenly getting up. "I won't die from this stupid disease!" The servant looked up at her panicked green-haired Queen.

"But…" A tone of insecurity crept into the Queen's usually strong voice. "I'll die…when I'm too old to bear living anymore." The Queen muttered, "Right! I'll be healthy if I have a younger body."

"Gee," the Dream groaned. The green-haired Queen jumped at the sudden intrusion. "That's irresponsible of you. Do you not want to become an Alice?"

"You again!" she hissed. "There's nothing worth going back to my world for, so leave me alone."

(Author's Note: If this sucks like heck, it's because I don't even get the storyline properly, and apparently the translator doesn't care for this translation: Apparently he translated it very badly.)

"I'll never be a singer at that circus ever again!" the Queen proclaimed. "Singing, singing, just singing!"

"Nobody…was looking at me for…" the Queen's voice faded out, the last words sounding forced, "…for who I was! Nobody loved me! But here…"

The harsh light in the Queen's eyes softened. "Everyone does love me…"

The Dream laughed. "Is that so? Do people really love you for you?" The mocking smile on the Dream's face infuriated the former singer.

"Shut up, shut up!" she screeched, eyes screwed together, trying to deny the words of the Dream. "They do!" She hunched her shoulders out of rage. "Now go away," she commanded in a strangely controlled voice. She lost control almost immediately. "Go away immediately!" the Queen barked.

The smile briefly faded off the Dream's face. "'Shut up' is how you go. Oh, right!" The smile came back instantly. "You're proud of your voice, so are you sure you don't want to be a diva again?" The Queen stared as the Dream got his fist close to her throat, flicking his finger, a high-pitched bell sound resonating in the empty dreamland. A tight fist seemed to close around her throat instantly.

The Queen tried to speak, only to be cut off by fits of coughing and a painfully closed throat. She finally managed to force out a sound. "What…wha…" She nearly recoiled in horror at the frog-like croak that came out of her throat. "What, my voice?" she shouted in rage. Her rage was almost immediately replaced by even more horror as she realized what had happened. The Queen grabbed her throat like she could find her voice and put it back in there, but it didn't help.

The Dream laughed happily. "I think you're much better like this. It's so nice of me to change your voice." Maniacal laughter came from the Dream as he watched the Queen falling on the floor in a faint.

She forced out a few words. "G…g…give back…my voice…" Tears welled up at the sides of her eyes.

The Dream ignored her, turning his back on the disgraced Queen. "Your voice is so ugly when it's getting old. You'll always be in this castle." He departed, laughing at the green-haired Queen's pitiful situation.

"Give me back my voice…" the Queen pleaded one last time. The Dream, of course, ignored the quiet croaking sound coming from her.

The servant panicked as she noticed the tears coming out the side of her Majesty's eyes and the unusual croaking sound coming from her throat. "What's wrong, your Majesty?" She shook her collapsed queen. "Are you okay?"

The Dream, unseen by all except the former Third Alice, chanted, "Bye-bye, Queen."

The Dream lowered the new doll, a mini-sized replica of the Third Alice, humming the song. "Very cute and dear in the Wonderland, she charmed people to her every beck and call, she had made a strange green country.

This new ALICE was the country's queen," he sang quietly, holding up the doll, "taken over by a distorted dream. She was afraid of losing to death, she would forever rule her country." The Dream tossed away the doll, leaving it to lie in the grass. A burning ace of clovers fell out of his sleeve. "She was really ugly," he chuckled, gladly insulting the former Alice, "cheating people with her pretty looks."

"Next time, she'll be sure not to trick anyone else."

"All of them have been failures," the Dream pondered. "Will any of them be any good?"

An idea crossed the Dream's mind. "Maybe I need very young humans?" The Dream smiled. The perfect idea. "Of course! Don't children dream quite a lot? It's so simple, how did I not realize it before?" A pair of blond-haired twins quickly came to mind. "It's perfect!"

Author's Note: I think I completed this pretty quickly…Not counting all the time-wasting I did at the beginning.

I didn't get many reviews for Kaito's chapter… I did get a review from TinierMe though!

Shiizuku (TinierMe): Thanks for calling it awesome~ :D I don't think this one is very good, but I try my best, so I'm happy that you liked it.

I'll try my best to do Rin/Len's part soon, but as I said, I waste time a lot…

DARN IT, I HAVE HOMEWORK! (evidence of my time wasting)

Well, please review~ I have some lovely homework to attend to. =.=
