Sora, Donald and Goofy continued sailing threw the endless sea of water for what seemed hours. Shortly after, they'd all fallen asleep. Goofy, who had just opened his eyes after his long nap, released a large scream of joy. Sora and Donald both woke up immediately.
"What's going on?!" asked Sora.
Both Sora and Donald were angry at Goofy for waking them up like this. Goofy pointed directly in front of him and he quickly knew that his friends had understood.
"Land Ho!" shouted Donald.
A large island could be seen from afar, and thanks to the waves they were getting closer. But there was still a problem.
"How do we get out of this bottle?" asked Donald.
Sora thought for a while until he had an idea. "I know!" he said. "Give me a boost."
"Oh no!" said Donald. "We already tried this before and it didn't work."
"You got any other solutions?" said Sora.
Admitting defeat, Donald got on his hands and knees as Goofy stood on Donald's back. Then Goofy helped Sora climb up his shoulders. Meanwhile at the bottom, Donald wasn't having fun.
"Why is it that I'm at the bottom if Goofy is bigger?!" asked Donald in anger.
"Just try and stay still." answered Sora.
Sora desperately stretched his arm is far as he could. Finally, his fingers grabbed on to the top of the bottle. But what he didn't know was that just as his fingers were holding on to the top, the bottle was already a few feet from land. The bottle crashed into the beach and Sora, Donald and Goofy were projected out of the bottle and into the sand. Luckily for him, Sora had landed on Goofy, who had landed on Donald.
"Why does this always happen?" said Donald.
Sora got off Goofy and helped them both back up. They looked around, hoping to find something to help them. Apart from sand, there was a large forest further ahead. They knew what to do.
"So you guys ready?" asked Sora.
"Yeah, let's get going." said Donald.
They started walking towards the forest. When they were finally in front of it, Sora quickly noticed a sign that said "Lotus Forest".
"Hey, isn't the Lotus Forest the forest that went in the last time we came in Wonderland?" asked Goofy.
"I think so." said Sora. "Maybe we should just keep moving."
They entered the forest without a word. For 2 hours, nothing seemed to happen. No Heartless had attacked, nothing unusual, just the birds flying by or singing. Finally they decided to take a small break. Sora and Goofy just sat on the ground, waiting, while Donald wondered around, trying to find food. Donald was able to find a giant apple that had fallen off a tree, and bring it back. Just as they were all ready to eat, they heard a voice.
"You know, eating something that you just found isn't a good idea." said the voice. "It might be poisonous."
They looked around, trying to find the person, but they had no luck. Suddenly, out of a tree's shadow, came out a pair of hands. They were then followed by a pair of legs, a body and a head. All the body parts reattached to each other to reveal Sora, Donald and Goofy a person that they didn't want to see. The Cheshire Cat.
"It's you!" shouted Sora.
"Yes its me." simply said the Cheshire Cat. "I'm not one of them, I'm not you, and so I must be me wouldn't you agree?"
"Did you ever think about shutting that big mouth of yours?!" asked Donald in anger.
"Thought of it, did it, then undid It." said the Cheshire Cat. "When you think about it, it makes no sense."
The Cheshire Cat laughed about his own comment. Already annoyed by the Cheshire Cat, Sora and the gang decided to leave while he was laughing to himself. But just as they walked away, the Cheshire Cat reappeared in front of them.
"Leave us alone!" shouted Donald.
"How rude!" said the Cheshire Cat. "I mean, after all those times I helped you the last time you three came here, you still want me to leave."
The Cheshire Cat disappeared but then reappeared just a few seconds after.
"Oh, I almost forgot." he said as he pointed to his right. "If you'd really like to know, he went that way."
"Who did?" asked Goofy.
"The White Rabbit." answered the Cheshire Cat.
"We're not looking for him." said Sora.
"True." said Cheshire Cat. "But it just so happens, that Alice went that way as well."
"She did?!" asked Donald, excited.
"Did what?" asked the Cheshire Cat.
"Went that way!" answered Goofy.
"Who went that way?" asked the Cheshire Cat.
"Alice!" answered angrily Donald.
"Who's Alice?" asked the Cheshire Cat.
"Alice is the…" started Sora. "Oh, forget it!"
Suddenly, the Cheshire Cat pulled his head off, and put it under his foot.
"Can you stand on your head?" asked the Cheshire Cat.
Sora and Donald both growled in anger, grabbed Goofy by the arm and walked away. But then, the Cheshire Cat reappeared in front of them, his head back at its usual spot.
"Listen carefully." he said. "To find Alice, you'll have to pass by the Mad Hatter's house."
"No thanks!" said Sora. "We're kinda tired of talking to mad people. So if you don't mind we'll just go find Alice in another way."
Sora, Donald and Goofy turned back, heading to the road that led left. The Cheshire then yelled out loud to them.
"But the Mad Hatter's is the best way to get to Alice." he shouted. "That is, if you don't want the shadows to get to her first."
Sora turned back his head to look at him. "What did you just say?!" asked Sora.
"You know what I said." answered the Cheshire Cat. "The shadows are after her as well. So if you don't want them to get to her first, you know which road to take."
The Cheshire started laughing again until all of his body disappeared. Everything went silent.
"I guess we don't have a choice." said Sora. "Let's go."
And so, they took the road that led to the Mad Hatter's, hoping that they wouldn't regret their choices.
