Chapter 10: The Mad Hatter's Domain
After walking for a while, Zim and Dib grew tired. Bumpkin turned to look at them then blinked.
"What's wrong?"
"We're tired out from catching those frogs..."
"Well, we're not too far from the Hatter's domain..." Bumpkin said as his perked.
"Hatter?"
"Yes, hopefully he'd be willing to give us a cup of tea."
"'Cup of tea?' Okay, now I know I've heard of this somewhere..." Dib said then Bumpkin started looking around.
"Found it! He said then Dib and Zim sat up and followed the rabbit. Suddenly there was a huge long table that was put together by other types of tables. Suddenly there no one.
"Nobody here..." Dib said then Zim looked on the table to find a dish that was covered. He suddenly opened it to find a head. Zim suddenly screamed and slowly backed away.
"What's wrong-Ah! Is that a head?" Dib asked as he poked the head. Suddenly the head opened it's eyes.
"Who are you?"
"Oh no... Ray who did this to you...?" Bumpkin asked as he jumped on the table and looked at the head.
"Those idiots I call my friends...! They have stolen my arms and legs!"
"And your body?" Bumpkin asked.
"Found it!" Zim said as he dragged a body from under a table. He grabbed the head then connected it to the body.
"Now... To find your arms and legs... Where are they?" Zim asked looking at the Hatter.
"Thumbleberry and Paradox... They both have gone their seperate ways..."
"Tell us where headless man!" Zim commanded then Bumpkin was on top of a really big chair.
"See anything Bumpkin?" Dib asked then Bumpkin jumped down and nodded.
"Thumbleberry and Paradox have gone to deeper into the domain..."
"Deeper into the domain?" Dib asked then he looked further ahead. As they walked further, everything looked like a broken factory. Some of the parts from machines were floating in the air.
"Curious as we go..." Dib said then Zim made a noise of agreement.
"There!" Bumpkin yelled then he pointed at two different factories.
"Guess we're gonna have to go our seperate ways."
"Or~! We could take them out one by one." Bumpkin said, hopping towards the two boys. Zim and Dib glared at each other.
"Only this one time we shall work together..."
"Agree. At least until we overthrow the queen and I will take over this place!" Zim said.
