The Warriors finally decided they chased enough wild gooses for one day. They were going home for sure.
"Well we've had enough nonsense. We're going home." said Prim, and the Warriors nodded in agreement. Straight home and no turning back. Only, they didn't know where home was or where they were going.
"That Rabbit. Who cares where he's going anyway." said Connor.
"Well if it hadn't been for him, we..." complained Vault.
"Tulgey Wood." the Warriors saw a sign.
"Hmm, curious. I don't remember this." Prim spoke up.
The Warriors looked around and a pair of eyes are watching them. The eyes came out to show a pair of eye-glasses with a pair of bird legs.
"Now let me see..." said Alicia. The creature saw the Warriors, and it umped on Prim. And then Prim saw her reflection in shock, and saw a mirror bird.
"No, no, please. No more nonsense." said Prim as she removed the creature from her. And they went away to find another way away from the strange world they entered.
The Warriors kept walking, leaving the mirror bird and eye-glasses bird aside.
"Now. If we came this way, we should go back this way." suggested Maia. And they followed that direction. Connor accidentally stepped on something that honked loudly.
"Oh, sorry!" Connor called as he looked down to see a duck that also looked like a horn.
"Oh, I beg your pardon!" Prim backed off.
The mother honking duck honed at them and left with her babies to the pond. The Warriors stumbled across instrumental frogs. One looked like a drum and the other was a cymbal.
"Goodness when we get home, we should write a book about this place." Claudia spoke up as the frogs left. "If w-we ever do get home..."
The Warriors walked to a waterfall. They were indeed lost. There were umbrella vultures splashing about, which splished against them.
"Oh um, excuse me!" Beardsley called. "Um, could one of you tell me..." The vultures noticed them and flew out, glaring at them.
"Uh... Nevermind." Luu Luu giggled nervously. The Warriors then decided to get away. Where were they going anyway?
"Oh, dear, it's getting dreadfully dark." Claudia said as they were deeper in the woods, sounding sad. "And nothing looks familiar..."
"Calm, we'll find something." Grave said as they continued to walk.
The Warriors then stumbled a bird with a shovel for a face, digging around. They were really lost now.
"We shall certainly be glad to get out of..." Vault bumped into a bird with a bird cage for a stomach, holding two birds inside as they escaped and chirped away. But the bird cage took chase and caught them and swallow them whole, and the birds are flying around in the bird cage.
An owl with an accordion neck flew about the Warriors.
"It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change!" Alicia whined.
The Warriors looked around. They heard a strange tapping noise. They turned to see hammer faced birds taping a sign in and some other birds with pencil beaks wrote on the sign. "Don't step on the momeraths?" questioned Connor.
"The momeraths?" The Warriors wondered too and saw some fuzzy critters walking about and making an arrow point in a direction.
"Oh, a path! Guys, we're going home!" alerted Prim.
The Warriors saw the path too and followed Prim down that path.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Prim was more emotional about this than the Warriors was. "Why I know we'd find one sooner or later. Oh if we hurry back, we might be home in time for tea! Oh, the dragons would be happy to see us! Oh, I just can't wait til-"
The Warriors stopped to see a dog with a broom brushing away the path. What perfect timing that was, I'm being sarcastic. The dog came to the Warriors, swept around them, and kept sweeping away, not acknowledging them or caring for them.
"Oh, dear, now we shall never get out." Prim sniffled, tears stinging her eyes.
Prim's tears starting to fall down as she sat on a rock, looking like a poor unfortunate soul.
"What did we learn today?" Beardsley asked, as Alicia is sitting next to her. The Warriors had sympathy for Prim, but wasn't as emotional about this as Prim was.
"Well, w-when one's lost, I-I suppose it's good advice to stay where you are, until someone finds you." Prim sniffled, reflecting on the adventure they had in this world called Wonderland. "B-But, who'd ever think to look for us here? Good advice..." she sniffled. "If I, if I listened earlier, we wouldn't be here! But that's just the trouble with me, you and I give myself very good advice."
As the Warriors were in a lament, several of the Woodland creatures they ran into and gathered around them in sympathy.
Prim: But I find seldom follow it
That explains the trouble that I'm always in
Be patient is very good advice
But the waiting makes me curious
And I love the change
Should something strange begin.
Well, I went along my merry way,
And I haven't stop to reason...
Her song seemed to catch all of the animals in the woods attention. The Warriors stayed with Prim, sharing and feeling her pain.
Prim: I should have known there'd be a price to pay
Some day
Some day
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom to follow it.
Each of the animals became sad, feeling sorry for them. Prim then began to cry and the animals started to cry with her before they randomly disappeared. Alicia wrapped her arms around Prim to comfort her. Beardsley pulled out a tissue and blowed. Connor is crying on Vault's shoulder, and Vault who is also in tears patted Connor's head to comfort him. Claudia who is wiping away her tears, while Grave is struggling to prevent tears from coming out. And Maia, Kaguya, and Luu Luu were also in tears.
Prim: Will I ever learn to do
The things I should?
The chorus repeated as Prim cried her eyes out. There was a half moon above them. And there it is now seemed to move around while a familiar voice was singing a familiar song.
Voice: And the momeraths out to grabe
The others looked around and the half moon revealed to be a grin.
"Oh, Cheshire Cat it's you!" Prim looked up, drying her eyes.
"Whom did you expect?" the cat asked. "The White Rabbit perhaps?"
"Oh, no, no, no, w-w-we're through with rabbits." Prim replied. "We want to go home, but we can't find our way."
"Naturally! That's because you have no way. All ways here you see are the QUEEN'S WAY!" the cat told them.
"What Queen?" Beardsley asked. "We've never met any Queen."
"You haven't?" the cat asked them. "But you must! She'll be mad about you! Simply mad!" he burst out laughing, nearly disappearing.
"Please, please!" Alicia stopped him. "How can we find her?"
"Well, some go this way, some go that way, but as for me, myself, I prefer the shortcut." the cat told them, pulling a branch down to show an entrance to the kingdom, outside the forest.
"Oh!" Luu Luu beamed, looking through it.
"Come on, maybe this queen knows how we can get back home." Connor said.
The Warriors then walked through the tree door, entering a kingdom with servants working.
