"Do, this is it?" Alice questioned, crossing her arms. "This is the door? You've got to be fucking kidding me. It's like a foot tall!"
"Which explains the 'Eat Me'" Hatter said.
"So Cupcake, did you-" Rabbit said.
"Don't treat her like an idiot of course she remembered." Calada said, defending her sister. Cupcake took of the hobo bag she'd been carrying on her shoulder. She pulled out a small wooden to be box.
"Here." She said, handing the box to Rabbit. He grabbed it, then walked over to Alice.
"Eat one, and wish to be 2 inches tall." He commanded. Alice shrugged and opened the box. She took out one of the small cookies. She sighed as she took a bite.
Two inches, two inches, two inches...
She thought. All of a sudden, the grass seemed like trees, and the flowers seemed like buildings.
"Rabbit!" She called. "Hatter!"
"Right here, love" She heard someone say from behind her. She jumped.
"Damnit! Don't do that!" She yelled at him. She chuckled.
"Sorry Alice." He smiled.
She scoffed.
"Rabbit!" She called again.
"Why do you keep calling Rabbit?" He questioned.
"Because he's the one I'm following, not you."
"But-"
"Right here Alice!" She heard Rabbit's voice. He walked out from behind a lilly.
"Where are..." Alice trailed off when she saw two girls came out behind Rabbit.
"Alright, are we going to open this door?" Alice asked. Rabbit didn't answer. He just walked to the door, which looked like it was 10 feet tall.
Rabbit shook his head. "There." He pointed to the giant keyhole, which, Alice didn't know they made keys that big.
"How do we get that high? And how to we fit through?"
"This." Hatter said, pulling out a big shard of glass from beneath twigs and leaves.
"Does it fly or something?" Alice said, sarcastic. "How the hell do we get the damn thing up there?" Her question was answered, when the sound of thunder crashed.
"How did you know it was going to storm?" Alice asked Rabbit.
He shrugged. "I didn't. But Wonderland is always gloomy. The sky is gray all the time so you can only guess."
Cupcake and Calada sat on one end of the glass shard. Rabbit sat on the other. But, instead of sitting by Hatter, Alice took a seat by Rabbit.
"Are you ok?" She asked him, attempting to be sweet.
"No." He growled. "Why aren't you sitting by Hatter?"
"Because I want to talk to you."
"What about." Rabbit said coldly.
"Now your just acting like a bastard."
"Am I. I didn't notice.
"Why are you mad at me?" Alice thought she would have a bit of fun, so she started to cry.
"Alice, please stop, I'm sorry ok?" Rabbit said.
"Can you tell me?"
"Why can't I be with you..." He said softly.
Alice sighed.
"Why?"
"I..." Alice trailed off. She couldn't use a smart remark or comeback. All she could do what stutter. She quickly glanced at Hatter, who was sitting next to Calada... joy...
Rabbit groaned.
"I-I'm sorry..."
"Alice, even if I can't have you, I will not break my promise."
"What promise?"
"I won't let anything hurt you."
"O-oh... Can I ask you something?"
"Yes Alice?"
"How did you turn human?"
Rabbit sighed. "You."
"Me?"
"Yes, of course you. Your the creator." He looked at her and smiled.
"But why..."
"Your minds grown up, as you have. And as I said before, so don't take offense to this, but your minds been corrupt."
"Non taken..."
"But thanks to you, all animals are now human."
Alice then remembered, the cat. The long, gray, skeleton-like cat in the tree...
"All animals?" She confirmed.
"Well... Not all..."
"What stayed."
"Door mice and Cheshire cats."
"Cheshire?"
He nodded. "They're rare. I haven't seen one since Wonderland has changed but the queen has."
"What do they do?"
"Some people sat they get inside your head. Change your state of mind. Make you go insane. They always grin too."
"Cats grin."
"Wonderland."
Alice felt a raindrop on her head.
"Ready everybody?" Cupcake smiled.
"wait," Alice said. "We're in a forest, it could take weeks before it fills up."
"Not in Wonderland." Rabbit yelled as the rain got louder. He grabbed onto Alice as the rain got heavier.
Alice shut her eyes. Rabbit was holding her too tight. Not like soft how Hatter did.
"Yay!" She heard Cupcake scream over the rain. She felt them being lifted. Alice kept her eyes shut, and her head low. She was now realizing, she didn't feel like this was a dream anymore. She also realized, she wasn't as strong as she thought either.
"Be careful Rabbit!" Cupcake shouted.
Alice didn't want to know why she said that. She was also too scared to see that they were floating on the giant pool of water. She wouldn't admit it, but she was scared of drowning. One of her 3 fears... She would not name the other two.
"Where through!" Cupcake shouted. That was quick... Alice thought.
Alice slowly opened her eyes. Sad to say, you could see sun. Cupcake was on her back, giggling. But when she turned to see Calada holding on to Hatter, she got mad. She was mad at how much she wanted to hurt that girl. Alice stood up, and started walking. Then she stopped when she realized they were still floating.
She suddenly felt unsteady, she dropped the her knees, then buried her face in her hands.
"Alice? What's wrong?" Rabbit said, concerned.
"Don't be a dumb ass, obviously she's scared of drowning." Hatter said. She heard him step up and walk over to her.
"She'll be fine." Calada scoffed "We're going to be at the island in 10 minutes."
"Island?"
