Hope you enjoy this next chappy! I made it slightly longer for you, so I hope you guys don't punish me for the major writers block I've been having lately. I was also listening to The Kills song - Black Balloon while writing this, so if you like listening to music while reading (like I do) then I would definitely suggest checking that song out ;) Enjoy.

"C-c-captain?"
After what happened, nobody in their right mind would be caught even slightly close to the captain. Smee just happened to be the only pirate who cared enough.
"He took her Smee."
'Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear!' Smee thought furiously. This was just no good. There was already a sliver of red filling the captains eyes and he knew nothing good would come of it. Hook had quite the possessive streak. Pan had always taken his things, but this was different. As soon as the bo'sun had spotted Miss Wendy, he knew nothing good would come of this visit. As much as he liked the girl, he firmly agreed with the rest of the crew when they said women aboard a ship was bad luck.
"N-now now Cap'n. I'm sure we can get the li'l lady back."
Some of the red drained out of his eyes at this. He smirked – one of the smirks that curled upwards in the corners of his mouth. It was a smirk that meant a plan was forming. Smee gulped audibly, grateful that Hook was so lost in thought to not have heard him.
"Oh yes Smee. We'll find the girl all right. She'll lead us right to Pan."
"Not sunset, sundown and rise up."
He stood up quickly, thankful for being slightly insane or at least mad enough to figure out the impossible.
"What's that?"
He rushed to the edge of the ship peering out in the distance as if looking at some unseen object.
"What is that? I don't know, what do you think?"
"Where?"
"There."
In his peripheral vision he saw Barbossa get up, no doubt noticing something was afoot. Suddenly he was attracting more attention and more of the crew followed him looking for what he was pointing at. The ship started swaying dangerously.
"He's rockin the ship?"
"We're rockin the ship!"
Barbossa must have caught up.
"Aye, he's onto it."
Everybody started joining in now. They started losing the heavier objects that would weigh them down. It all went into the sea. People were falling over and tripping from the swaying of the boat. A few more laps and the crew held on tight to the railing as their feet began to lift. The boat tipped slowly into the water.
"Now up is down."
A huge splash accompanied this statement as the boat tipped all the way into the water. Everyone held their breath.
Below the water was a beautiful otherworldly place. Different hues of aqua's and blues shined through the water, soaking into their skin and through their clothes. But they were all running out of air. The sun continued to creep downwards as they hung from the railing of the ship.
Suddenly a huge green flash lit up the sky. The exact green flash that few people had mentioned in stories when they sailed the sea. The ship began to rise up, as if they had been at the very end of the ocean the whole time. Maybe they had been. Everything sprang up and the crew couldn't get enough air in their deprived lungs. Various people coughed the bitter salt water out, hoping to never go through that experience again.
It only seemed imminent then that they were not in fact, back.
Meanwhile at Walworth's before Alice couldn't wake up….
It was quiet and everybody was asleep. A green flash illuminated the room for a few short seconds before the room became black again. Nobody stirred. The green flash had come from the bed on the far left. Madeline's. If one were to recap the strange occurrence it would've looked like this:
Madeline was having a normal dream. A dream of the night sky, stars passing her by as she flew into the atmosphere. All of a sudden a green flash lit up before her eyes, her body seized uncontrollably and her muscles spazamed. It shook her so hard that she woke up. She never saw the green glow leave her eyes though. The mattress beneath her groaned quietly as she sat up looking around. Everything was the same as they had left it. Sinking back down into a sleeping position, she closed her eyes and tried her hardest to get back to sleep.
The pressure of something on the bed woke her. It was still nighttime, she noticed. Whatever had been on the bed was gone now. She was alone in the small bed. 'Perhaps I dreamt it.'
Her head turned when she caught something moving in the corner of her eye. Nothing was there, however. The decorative golden mirror shown in the moonlight and she couldn't help but stand up to admire it closer. Her hand ran down the familiar patterns in the golden frame. It was the one thing that had been allowed in Walworth's.
She had originally wanted to bring Dinah, her cat. Madame had boldly refused to house a 'disgraceful creature' however. So she brought one of the other closer things to her. After her father's trips, he had brought her back and intricate mirror carved 'just for her' he had said. She had immediately loved it. He had told her such stories involving the mirror. In the stories the mirror lead to 'Wonderland.' How she wished that was true.
A green flash suddenly caught her attention. Before she could turn her head, an arm shot out of the mirror and grabbed her wrist, dragging her into the mirror. She was forced through it and fell.

Down
Then all she knew was darkness and a voice whispering, "We're all mad here."
Eeeeek! Did I just add even MORE characters into this already jumbled fic? Well yes, yes I did ^_^ I might even be planning to add MORE! I mean, how could I NOT add pirates into this story when there's already pirates in this story (if that makes sense. If not, then I'm sure Captain Sparrow at least understands)? Any stories YOU specifically want me to add? Let me know by pressing that lovely button down below. I sure will love it, but Jack will love it more ;)
