Quick A/N: My name did change from Livelovehappy to Avaalon just in case you guys were wondering!

What Happened to Alice

"We're lost," I said bluntly as he surveyed the woods. He shot me a look of annoyance.

"We're not lost," Jefferson argued as he continued walking, "We're just taking a detour." I scoffed. And to think I actually thought he was cute. Well he was… when he wasn't being an obnoxious little toad.

"I thought I knew these woods like the back of my hand, and somehow you managed to change that," I grumbled. I can't believe I actually agreed to help him nab some crystal ball he needed. I suddenly noticed him climbing a tree. "What are you doing!?"

"Getting a better view," He rolled his eyes. I wrinkled my nose as I walked closer to the tree.

"Well, be careful," I said hesitantly. I could've sworn a saw a smile tugging at his lips. Out of nowhere he jumped out of the tree, LANDING ON ME. I closed my eyes as my head made an impact with the forest ground.

"ARE YOU CRAZY," I shouted. There was two of him, oh god I could barely stand one. I blinked a bit more before the two images faded into one. I was a little taken back at how close he was; I was still processing the fact that he was on top of me.

"I'm afraid so," He admitted, his eyes sparkling before leaning in closer. My breath hitched as I felt his breath on my lips, "But I'll tell you a secret." He leaned in closer towards my ear. I wondered if he could feel my heart pounding. His breath fanned my ear, "All the best people are."

Light brown eyes stared up at the white cement walls in defiance. Said girl ignored the faint throb of her head as she gritted her teeth together. Alice was a lot of things. She was polite, kind, compassionate, and poised. She was also overcurious to the point of being meddlesome, sometimes annoying, stubborn, and a klutz. But one thing Alice knew was that she wasn't crazy. She was not crazy. And yet here she was, in a psychiatric ward stuck in a cell for the past few days.

Damn you Regina, Alice thought angrily, pressing her aching head against the cold wall, closing her eyes in pain.

"What's going on?" Mary Margaret asked as two men in white pushed passed her and continued into the apartment. Someone had been banging on the door before she had answered and having two large men before her was the last thing she had expected. "Where are you going?" Mary Margaret followed after them and found them standing in front of Alice, who sat criss cross on her bed painting red roses.

"Alice Oswald?" One of the two men asked. Alice looked up, startled before nodding and getting up.

"Yes? May I help you?" Alice asked, looking at Mary Margaret in confusion. Her friend only gave her a puzzled look in return. Emma had walked down from her room when she heard stomping down below.

"Is there a problem?" Emma asked stepping in front of her friend to separate the three. The two men exchanged a glance before turning to Emma and glancing at Alice who had her eyebrows furrowed.

"Grab her," Before they all knew it, the two men roughly shoved Emma aside before grabbing Alice by both her arms.

Alice clenched her teeth together. Being dragged out against her will was not the most pleasant of experiences.

"Follow the yellow brick road," Alice's head snapped down to the small high voice. She was alone. Her heart started to pick up. No one's here. Alice frowned. So who said that? Suddenly there were multiple high pitched giggles filling the cell room. A sharp, white-searing pain shot through her head as she clenched her eyes shut. Alice quickly fell to the ground, her knees hitting the cold floor. She was in nothing but a hospital gown with pockets on the side.

"Follow the yellow brick road," Alice slowly opened her eyes. There were faint dots floating around, everything in her sight was hazy. She could make out faces leaning in close to her. Alice blinked a couple more times before letting out a gasp and pressing her back further into the cement block wall. Before her were five really small people. They were dressed in bright colored clothing, their cheeks pink and their faces glowed when they realized she could see them. They leaned in closer.

"Follow the yellow brick road," They said simultaneously. Alice quickly jumped to her feet. They only reached up to her waist, and Alice was a lot shorter than the average person. Maybe Regina was right, I am going crazy, Alice thought as she stared at them with wide eyes. They all started to shuffle closer to her with bright smiles on their faces.

"Follow the yellow brick road," They sang and Alice quickly glanced at the cell door, wondering how they got in without her hearing, "Follow the yellow brick road. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road." Alice didn't know if she should've felt horrified or relieved. Something about them gave her a familiar sense of home. Yup I'm officially crazy, Alice shook her head. They all started giggling like mad, pushing her to the middle and skipping around her as they hummed a small tune. Each of them took a turn to spin her around and pat the pocket of her gown.

"Off you go Dorothy," They cheered and giggled as they ran around her, spinning her along. Alice started to feel dizzy and her feet stumbled over each other before they gave out. She fell on the cold ground before gasping for air. Her head suddenly felt clearer. It was then she noticed that the cell was silent. Her head moved up and the small people were nowhere to be seen. This was not happening to her. Was it all just her imagination? As Alice got back up on her feet, she felt something slightly heavy in her pocket. She cautiously reached in and felt something soft and very crumbly. When she pulled out her hand there was a piece of some kind of pastry that lied on her palm. Sniffing it, Alice concluded it was cake. Alice frowned. Somewhere in her mind she knew that everything that just happened had to be her imagination. But in this very moment, she didn't care. She was already in a psychiatric ward, what did she have to lose.

Her eyes automatically went to the window above her and her body moved like it was on auto pilot. She stepped up on the bed and placed one hand on the window sill. The stupid nurse didn't even bother to lock it shut. Alice moved to open it before glancing at the cake with a smile and pocketing the treat. She took a small bit of it before glancing at the security camera planted on the wall across the room. A smirk formed on her face when she realized it was pointed down, filming the floor. Alice felt a tug in her abdomen before she felt it in the rest of her body. Both her hands automatically went to the window sill, catching herself before she fell. She let out an amazed laugh. She had shrunken! She couldn't wait to see the look on Regina's face once she's out. There's no way Regina would risk dragging her back in here, knowing that Alice could expose her little secret with Sandy. Alice maneuvered her body out the window, still hanging on to the edge before her hand reached back into her pocket for the cake. If she knew this little trick like she thinks she does, then this should work. She turned the cake around and took a bite from the opposite side. She let go of the window as she felt a rush of air go through her insides.

She rolled on the hospital ground with a puff of air. Since the psychiatric ward was just below the ground, windows were only a couple yards above ground. Alice let out a huff as she looked down at her attire. Her hospital ground was covered in dirt, leaves and crumbs and no doubt her hair was probably a mess as well. Alice let out a quiet laugh. She probably sounded mad as hell but who cared?! She escaped! Alice got up and brushed herself off when she noticed a looming dark figure across the street. She had just noticed it was night now. Her head tilted slightly before giving a wave to the figure. Alice felt freer then she had ever been in a long time. Maybe it was because she was finally accepting that yes, she might be a little crazy, but that's okay. Everyone's a little mad right? Alice asked herself, I guess some people are just better at hiding it. She finally felt as if she could think straight again. And she was finally going home.

"It's past my curfew," I reminded him as we trudged through the forest, still lost. He shot me an annoyed look.

"You said that half an hour ago," He grumbled and I frowned at him.

"Doesn't mean it's any less true," I mumbled under my breath, glaring at him under my lashes. I was still annoyed that he used me as a cushion when he fell out of that tree. "Do you even know where the crystal ball is?" He abruptly stopped walking causing me to bump into his back. I stepped back, rubbing my nose as he spun around to face me.

"Do you?" He asked as I frowned up at him. My nose really did hurt.

"Maybe," He threw his arms up.

"Then why didn't you say anything!?" I gave him a look of outrage.

"I did! Exactly an hour ago when you completely ignored me!" I yelled back. He gave me a scolding look.

"There's no need to raise your voice at me young lady," He chastised and I swore I felt my eye twitch slightly.

"You- you're," He looked at me in amusement as I tried to find the right words, "You're infuriating!"

"What'd I miss," Alice asked as she casually entered the apartment, bare foot and hospital dress torn up a bit.

"Alice!" Mary Margaret dropped her cup on the table and ran towards her friend, engulfing her into a tight embrace.

"How'd you get out?!" Emma exclaimed rushing to their side. The two found out where their tiny friend was only a couple hours after Alice was taken by force. No one would let them in to see her, and considering Emma was the sheriff, she had gathered the information that Regina was the one that ordered her to not have any visitors while she was being "stabilized." Alice shook her head with a smile.

"It doesn't matter how I got out, I just did," Alice laughed, her eyes glowed with happiness. Emma and Mary Margaret exchanged a look before pushing it aside. Their friend was surprisingly happy, and she wasn't harmed. Questions could wait till later.

"Now tell me what I missed so I can take a shower." Alice shuffled her way to the couch and sat down with her hands crossed in her lap. Mary Margaret and Emma sat across from her. Mary Margaret couldn't help but notice how Alice looked so much younger and happier than she had been before. Emma noticed it to and was suddenly reminded of Grace aside from the hair, but shook her head at the ridiculous assumption.

"Well there's the whole thing with David," Emma started looking at Mary Margaret to continue. Mary Margaret hesitated before seeing the adorably cute look of curiosity on Alice's face.

"He's gonna tell Kathryn," Mary Margaret said, biting back a smile.

"Everything?" Alice gasped in shock. Mary Margaret nodded. Alice mouthed 'wow' as she leaned back to take it in.

"There is something you should know Alice," Emma said cautiously, "Everyone knows about you being admitted into the psychiatric ward." Alice tilted her head before shrugging her shoulder.

"Let them," Alice laughed, "I've been so worried about how people looked at me and I realized today, I shouldn't care. I was smiling today and I will smile tomorrow. I was genuinely happy because of me. Yes, I might be kind of crazy but, I'm okay with it."

HEEEY. Guys, I'm prewriting the Hat Trick and it's by far the longest chapter I've ever written, twenty freaking pages! Also good news I got my license! I almost didn't update today because today has been the first free day I've had since midterms! But then I checked the traffic of this story and was blown away.

57 reviews, 82 favorites, 143 follows and over 11,000 reads! You guys are absolutely amazing thank you so much!

Sorry this was really short guys, I feel so bad considering the past few chapters might as well be filler chapters, but I will make it up since we're so close to the Hat Trick and more than half way done with this season !

ADVICE: I was wondering about having a second counterpart for Grace like Alice has. Like how Dorothy picked the name Alice as an alias in wonderland I was kind of playing around with the idea with maybe Grace could pick the alias Wendy? I know OUAT already has a Wendy but if I'm going to incorporate Peter in Alice's past, I thought it might be interesting if Grace ever met Pan? I don't know about it yet, I'm still playing around with the idea but it's kind of fitting in my head right now so let me know what you guys think!

APOLOGIES AT THE MIXED CHAPTERS! I was fixing some of the chapters and the setup of them ad accidently mixed some of the chapters up so I'm oh so very sorry guys!

Guest: Yes Regina is a bitch XD I laughed way too hard at this tbh.

DreamYourOwnDestiny & WXCKED is good: : Thank you! This chapter's for you two babes!

Stellar Nymph: I'm glad it's getting interesting! I try my best to really incorporate Alice into the tv's plot as much as I can!

Aceofthefool13: So happy you love it! There's a lot more of them in the next chapters!

LunaEvanna Longbottom: Yeah, no kidding right! But then again it's Regina.

sarahmichellegellarfan1: Glad my explanation helped explain everything! It'll all really come together when they get their memories back!

OMG one of my friend's gave me an awesome idea guys. Wouldn't it be ironic that by the end of this story, Regina and Alice became like best friends. I laughed really hard at this yet I can kind of see it.
