Me: I want to make this short...

Malefic: Nothing is short with you.

Me: Hey, just because I drink a venti from Starbucks, that doesn't mean that I'll be short.

Malefic: *rolls eyes* right...

Me: Shut up.

Xion: You are arguing already?

Me: We're bored and I can't think of anything to say right now.

Malefic: I'm in with Blade.

Roxas: Can you think of ways to be nice?

Me: Where did you get a silly idea like that?

Axel: Here, I know what you can do. You can practice doing the disclaimer.

Me: *gasps* No!

Malefic: Never!

Me: You're crazy!

Malefic: Insane!

Me: You should be in a mental hospital!

Malefic: An asylum for pyromatics!

Axel: *sighs* You guys are idiots.

Me: Says the guy who loves a stinking lighter.

Axel: Hey! Don't say anything bad about Roxy!

Malefic: ...you named your lighter after Roxas?

Axel: NO!

Roxas in Wonderland

"I CHANGE MY MIND!" Blade shouted. "WE'RE EATING FIRST! DAMNIT! I'M SO HUNGRY!"

"Blade, if you keep eating like how you eat now-." Blade cut Hydro off.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll get fat. But still, I'M HUNGRY!" Blade just clapped his hands. Soon servants bustled around, setting up the tables. Roxas unconsciously heard Blade mutter something about being expensive darkly under his breath. Many different plates were scattered on the table, buffet style. All held different and exotic foods. There were fried rice, lobster, sushi, tacos, burritos, chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes…and of course, candy. The students all got plates of their own foods and sat down on the floor in their individual groups.

"Wow, this is really good!" Wyren's eyes widened as he dug in. Everyone was too busy eating to respond.

David waited for a while before saying, "So…what did you guys think of the performances?" his friends just glared at him. He shrugged, "What?"

"I guess they were okay," Ari said quietly. "A bit frightening, but okay."

"Hi, guys!" suddenly a red-head girl bounded over to where the friends were sitting. They all looked at her blankly. Xion then remembered who she was.

"Hi, Gummi," Xion smiled. Gummi smiled back.

"Blade wants all of you guys to sit with us," she announced. At this, the group exchanged uncertain glances.

"We'll be honored," Zelda said. The others looked at her in surprise. She sent them a mental message, 'Do you guys want to die at the hands of Blade?'

"All the teachers are sitting over there," Gummi pointed to the staff. "Come on, I'll lead you guys over there." She stood up and made her way towards the teachers. Roxas and the others followed uncertainly.

"Well, Blade. This is an unexpected surprise," Claw glared at the group. Suddenly this didn't seem like a good idea. To their shock, Blade just laughed.

"Deal with it. What are you guys doing just standing there? Sit! Sit!" he waved a bottle around, indicating for them to sit. They sat down hesitantly.

"Is that alcohol?" Sonya asked, pointing to the bottle.

Blade shook his head. He showed them the bottle, "It's apple cider, no alcohol included." He glanced at Ari. He seemed to examine him closely and suddenly his face of confusion changed to one of delight.

"It's been a long time, Ari!" Blade smiled.

"I'm surprised you actually remember me, especially when you were going after Roxas for your chocolate," Ari replied. Blade shrugged.

"You know me, can't really control my temper," then he placed his bottle down and scooped up his own plate, "Okay, eating contest!"

"What? But you're almost done!" Liam complained. The Headmaster looked at his plate.

"You're right. Give me a sec," he shoved all the food into his mouth. He swallowed the food, hiccupped once, and ran back to the tables. Blade returned soon after with a full plate, enough to fill up two stomachs.

"Blade…you're going to have a stomachache. That's your third plate. And all the other plates were even more than that one…" Aurora stated. Blade ignored her, digging into his food.

"Hey, Blade. I need to talk to you," Quas said. Malix scooted away from his twin, looking scared.

"Um…another time, Quas?" Blade asked.

"No! I need to talk to you right now!" Quas' hand shot out and grabbed her friend's wrist. She dragged him outside of the MPR. To Roxas' and Xion's shock, Blade couldn't quite get out of his friend's grip.

"So which contests are you guys doing?" Myst asked.

"Oh, we're going to join all of them," Sonya replied.

"Smart," Twilight smiled. The group continued to exchange words until Quas came back.

"Whoa! What happened to you?" Wyren asked. He covered his mouth, remembering his manners. Quas laughed. She pushed her white hair out of her blue and red eyes.

"I don't blame you. I finally managed to convince Blade to turn me back. This is my natural look." Her voice rose into a shout, "The contests will begin in a few minutes! Finish up your food!"

…

"I'm so nervous!" Xion smiled. She nervously fingered her costume. "Do I look okay?"

"Yes, Xion. You look fine," Roxas reassured her. He looked around. "Do you know what happened to Blade?"

Xion shook her head, "He didn't come back after Quas…"

"Hey, Roxas," Claw walked into the back, "your group is up."

"Okay, Claw," Wyren muttered. Claw just glared at him and walked off. Wyren sighed, "I can't stand him!"

"A lot of people can't," David agreed. He shrugged, "Anyways, let's win the extra credit."

~I'm writing Roxas' performance as if it was another story~

"And they lived happily ever after. The end," Sonya closed her book. "Now, wasn't that a delightful story, Roxas? Roxas?" she looked around. Her eyes fell on her sleeping brother. "Roxas! Wake up!"

"Is the story over yet?" he asked, yawning and rubbing his eyes. Sonya glared at him.

"Yes, Roxas. It's over."

"Finally!" he sat up from his seat on the grassy hill. "Now we can go home!" he jumped to his feat and ran off. Sonya just sighed and lagged behind.

Roxas continued to run until he reached the bottom of the hill. He took a quick rest, trying to recover his breath. When he looked back up, he started. A pair of black eyes was staring into his blue orbs.

"Whoa!" he fell back away from the eyes. It belonged to a boy. He had white rabbit ears and was holding a large, yellow pocket watch.

"We're late, we're late, for a very important date," the rabbit boy sang. "No time to explain, hello! We're late, we're late, we're late!" he took Roxas' wrist and started to drag him away.

"Let go of me, you creep!" Roxas yelled. The boy ignored him. He continued to drag Roxas until they reached a hole.

"Let's go!" the rabbit pushed Roxas into the hole and waved good-bye. Roxas fell down, screaming.

I'm going to die, he thought. I'm going to die. The thought kept on processing over his mind. Finally, he floated down into a well-lit room.

"Where am I?" Roxas asked himself.

"Why, you're in Wonderland, young Alice," the rabbit boy appeared from behind a curtain.

"Wait…you're telling me, this is Wonderland? As in Lewis Carroll?" Roxas stuttered. The boy looked confused.

"Who's Lewis?"

"You know-."

"No, I don't know."

"Oh, forget it!" Roxas said in frustration.

"You need to come with me, young Alice. Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, has requested your presence at the castle. She has sent me to get you."

"My name isn't Alice. It's Roxas," Roxas muttered. The rabbit boy cocked his head.

"It doesn't matter. Once a human enters Wonderland, his/her name is immediately turned into Alice."

"I don't care. I won't respond to Alice. I'll only respond to Roxas!" the Nobody sat down in a huff. The boy just stared at him. Then he sat down next to him.

"My name's Liam, but everyone calls me the White Rabbit. I don't really know how I got the position, but I did…"

"Maybe it's because of those ears," Roxas tugged on one. It felt surprisingly soft. Liam laughed.

"Hey, that tickles!"

"Really?" Roxas smirked. Liam's eyes widened in surprise.

"No!" he screamed. He stood up and ran off, covering his ears. Roxas chased after him. They ran through the rooms, laughing loudly. Suddenly, Liam stopped. This caused Roxas to bump into him. And that caused a domino effect of Liam bumping into someone.

"Ow," Roxas rubbed his face.

"H-h-hi, Ari," Liam whispered. Roxas looked up. In front of them was an enormous, blue caterpillar smoking a hookah. On closer inspection, Roxas saw that the caterpillar was really a boy with a blue cape.

"Liam, what exaketededly are you doing?" the caterpillar asked.

"Well…"

"And…who…are…you?" the caterpillar turned to look at Roxas.

"I'm Roxas," the boy introduced himself.

"You mean, young Alice," the caterpillar pointed with his pipe.

"No, I mean, Roxas."

"Recite."

"Recite what?"

"Stupid girl…" the caterpillar muttered.

"I'm a guy, if you can see-."

"I do not C," the boy smoked out a letter C.

"Ari, give it a rest," Liam sighed. The caterpillar glared at him. He turned and climbed a flower stem. Roxas looked around in surprise. They weren't in a room anymore. They were, instead in a garden. Roxas looked around in wonder at the change of scenery. Liam paid no attention. He was probably used to it…Ari dropped from the flower stem and onto a mushroom.

"Well, well, well. Our savior has come," Ari smoked out a picture of a well.

"Savior?" Roxas asked himself. Liam nodded vigorously.

"Oh, yes. It was prophesied that a stubborn Alice would come and free Wonderland's citizens from the evil Jabberwocky."

"And I'm this prophesied Alice?" Roxas asked. "Hold on! I'm only a fifteen-year old guy that plays hooky from my studies! And my name isn't even Alice!"

"Keep…your…temper," Ari said. He turned to face them. "As the Caterpillar, I have the duty of giving you advice on what to do. You first must find the Cheshire Cat. If you're lucky, he would tell you what you need. After that, find the Queen with your new friends. Don't judge a book by its cover. Finally…A, E, I, O, U." Ari began to smoke more vigorously. Liam and Roxas began to cough from so much smoke. After the smoke disappeared, the two boys looked in wonder at the forgotten cape.

"Where did he go?" Roxas asked.

"He became a butterfly," Liam answered. He nodded towards a forest. "We need to look for the Cheshire Cat." He waited for Roxas to go in front of him. Then he followed 'young Alice' into the forest.

"Now where do you suppose…?" Roxas began to ask as they traversed through the forest.

"Lose something?" a voice answered.

"Who said that?" Roxas demanded.

"One moment please," the voice said. Slowly, purple stripes appeared along with a pink body. The head of a boy with cat ears appeared last. He sat on top of a tree branch.

"Hey, Wyren," Liam waved.

"The White Rabbit," Wyren smiled a Cheshire grin.

"That's the Cheshire Cat," Liam whispered to Roxas.

"I could see that."

"Can you stand on your head?" Wyren laughed. Roxas gasped as the headless boy was literally standing on his head.

"Wyren, Ari said we needed to go to you for advice," Liam explained.

"Ah! Joined the Rebellion, did you?" Wyren gasped. He stepped off of his head and put it back on with a "kluk!"

"The Rebellion?" Roxas asked.

"Against the Jabberwocky," Wyren smiled. He began to disappear.

"Wait!" Roxas called. He started to move forward, but Liam's hand stopped him.

"He'll come back," Liam smiled. Sure enough, the Cheshire cat reappeared onto another tree branch.

"Here's a riddle, When is a croquet mallet like a billy club?" he asked.

"That doesn't make sense," Roxas replied.

"Oh, you can't help that. Most everyone's senseless here," Wyren answered.

"Whenever you want it to be," Liam smiled. Wyren jumped down from the tree and began to walk around the two boys.

"If I were looking for a monster, I'd ask the Mad Hatter. Or you could ask the March Hare. Of course, they're in the same direction."

"Then it doesn't matter which way we go, does it?" Roxas asked archly.

"Yes, it does because all ways here you see, are the QUEEN'S WAY!" Wyren laughed. He jumped into the air and disappeared. Roxas just shook his head at Liam. His friend shrugged.

"You really can't help us," he explained. "We've been in here for centuries."

"Let's just go," Roxas said. Liam happily followed his new friend as they walked out of the forest. They came along a path and followed it. At the end, they reached a quaint little cottage, the air filled with smoke. Musical notes could be heard.

"This is the place," Liam said. Roxas looked at it uncertainly. Liam nudged him forward, and Roxas had no choice.

"Welcome to the Mad Tea Party!" a cheerful voice sang out. Roxas looked forward to see a girl with raven hair and a leather hat.

"Hi, Xion," Liam waved.

"I have an excellent idea, LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT!" someone else shouted. Roxas turned and saw the shock of his life.

"Sonya? What are you doing here?" Roxas shouted. The March Hare looked at him curiously. Then her expression cleared and she hid behind the Mad Hatter.

"Careful, he's stark ravin' mad!"

"Easy, don't get excited!" Xion muttered.

"How about a nice cup of tea?" Sonya's hand trembled as she held out a cup of tea, spilling it.

Roxas stomped his foot, "'Have a nice cup of tea,' indeed! You guys are mad!"

"Of course, we are," Xion walked up to him. "Do you care for tea?" she took his arm.

"No! I just want to get out of here!" Roxas twisted his arm out of the Mad Hatter's grip.

"Keep your temper, young Alice," said a familiar voice.

"You again?" Roxas narrowed his eyes at Ari. Instead of his cape, he had blue butterfly wings.

"Ari's right, Roxas," Xion said. "We're two days slow, that's what it is."

"Wait…you said my name," Roxas realized. Xion looked confused.

"Your name? What do you mean, Roxas?"

"Everyone here calls me Alice! Finally! Someone sane!" Roxas smiled.

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Xion asked. Roxas sighed at that.

"Anyways, what are we supposed to do now?" Liam asked.

"Rebellion!" Wyren appeared.

"Oh, I get it now! Your new friends are here, Alice!" Liam laughed. Roxas glared at him.

"To the Queen's palace! Away!" Xion shouted. Roxas just sighed and followed his 'friends' along the path.

After a long walk with many verses of 'Twinkle, twinkle little bat' and 'A very Merry Unbirthday', the group of friends reached the palace. The guards stood on either side of the gates, paying no heed to the friends.

"What are we doing now?" Roxas asked.

"Walk by!" Xion opened up the gates and walked in. Just like that. Roxas gazed in surprise as each of his friends walked into the palace with none of the guards stopping them. The boy took a deep breath and timidly walked towards the gates. The guards still didn't stop him. When he reached his friends, he let go a pent up breath.

"Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts!" Liam announced. He flourished them into the courtroom.

"Can we just waltz in here?" Roxas asked.

"Oh, sure!" Sonya said. "Zelda doesn't mind!" Roxas just swallowed. He looked up to see a pair of soft eyes. Zelda was wearing an attire completely clad in red. Her scepter was lying across her arms as if it were a baby.

"Your Majesty!" Xion bowed, taking her hat off.

"Xion. It's been too long. And who it this?"

"This is young Alice!" Wyren grabbed Roxas and swung him forward.

"My name is Roxas!" Roxas shouted.

"I warn you, dear Alice, if I lose my temper, you lose your head. Understand?" Zelda's voice suddenly steeled. Roxas nodded, silent.

"Who's been painting my roses red? Who dares to taint, with vulgar, paint the royal flower bed? For painting my roses red, someone will lose his head!" Zelda ordered.

"Oh no! Your Majesty, please! It's all his fault!" Ari pointed to Liam.

"Not me, your grace! The cat! The cat!"

"You?"

"No, hare!" Wyren pointed.

"The hare, you say?"

"Not me! The Mad!" Sonya cried.

"That's enough! Off with our heads!" Xion laughed. They fell into laughing, leaving Roxas confused.

"Is the Jabberwocky here?" Ari asked, smoking. Zelda nodded.

"He's been painting my roses red."

"What does painting her roses red have to do with anything?" Roxas asked.

"It's code!" Liam explained.

"…oh…"

"So, young Alice, how will you slay the Jabberwocky?" Queen Zelda asked.

"I'm supposed to slay the Jabberwocky? Where is he?"

"You've kept me waiting, Alice. Have you never heard that punctuality's a virtue?" suddenly the doors flew open. A boy in full dragon armor stepped in, the steel clinking.

"Hi, David!" Liam waved. The Jabberwocky snorted.

"The White Rabbit, clueless as ever." He turned to Roxas. "The young Alice…I didn't expect you to be…so stupid…"

"What? Say that to my face!" Roxas shouted.

"Why don't you come here so I can then?" David smirked, crossing his arms. Roxas, in his fury, jumped from the raised platform of the throne and charged with a ready fist.

David waited until Roxas came close. Then he stopped the fist with one hand extended.

"What?" Roxas gasped in surprise. The Jabberwocky just smirked. He picked up Roxas and proceeded to walk into a room.

"Where are you taking me?" Roxas yelled, struggling.

"I'm just making sure that you stay away…forever," David opened up the door. A huge well shining green was smacked in the middle. The Jabberwocky walked over. Roxas could see that inside green acid-looking liquid swirled around.

"Bye bye," David tossed the screaming Roxas into the well.

The fall here was even worst than the fall before. Roxas kept screaming until his lungs hurt.

"Shut up!" someone familiar said. Roxas finally opened his eyes. He looked around in surprise at his friends.

"You're finally awake," Wyren grumbled.

"Cheshire Cat?" Roxas asked. His friends looked at him as if he was crazy.

"What are you talking about?" Wyren questioned, "Cheshire Cat?"

"He probably hit his head," Ari explained.

"Yeah…" Roxas muttered.

"Come on," Zelda said. "We're going to miss the bus."

"Right!" Roxas picked up his book bag. The group continued to walk. Roxas noticed Xion straying behind. "Aren't you coming?"

"Yeah, I'll be there in a sec," she replied. Her friend shrugged and left. When she was sure her friends weren't looking, Xion picked up a leather, top hat from behind a tree, brushed it off, and put it in her book bag. Then she hurried down the hill towards her friends.

…

"Liam, you're looking more like an idiotic clown every minute," David said. Liam's smile grew wider.

"I can't help it! We won the best acting contest!" he twirled his medal around.

"Yeah, I was surprised that we actually won!" Wyren agreed.

"I wonder what Blade would have done…" Roxas stopped walking. They were out of the MPR and he heard a strange noise.

"What's wrong, Roxas?" Sonya asked.

"Did you guys hear something?" Roxas asked.

"Now that you mentioned it…I do hear some creaking…" Xion mumbled.

"It's Blade, up there," Ari pointed up towards the ceiling. The group of friends looked in the direction and saw a figure hanging from the rafters.

"What are you doing up there?" Xion questioned. Blade shifted over into a more comfortable position.

"Oh…I'm just hiding from Quas," he shuddered. "Girls…"

"What happened?" Zelda asked.

"Let's just say…I almost brought Hell on Earth…"

Me: O.o'

Malefic: Does my OC scare you that much? *laughs*

Me: *narrows eyes* *takes Malefic's collar* *drags him awayy*

Malefic: Hey! Let me go!

Me: *ignores him* *tosses him into a room* *locks the door*

Malefic: HOLY CRAP! IS THERE SOMETHING ALIVE IN HERE? BLADE! I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!

The Nobodies: ;_;

Me: Anyone else want to make fun of me?

The Nobodies: *shake heads*

Me: Good.
