Back in the Peanuts Gang's neighborhood, Lucy was sitting at her psychiatry booth when Peppermint Patty and Marcie approached her. "Hey Lucille!" Peppermint Patty smiled. "You wouldn't happen to know where Chuck, Heather, and Snoop are, right?"

"Do I look like a blockhead keeper?" Lucy retorted.

"Charles is not a blockhead anymore. Remember, he's got a girlfriend now." Marcie said with a proud smile.

Lucy blinked. "Sorry, I don't know where they are." Lucy simply said. "They might have gone to meet the new kid."

"Well, why don't we go there and see? We can meet the new kid too." Peppermint Patty smiled.

"Great idea, sir." Marcie smiled.

"Where's the new kid's house?" Patty asked, before they saw Dina running towards them, mewing happily. "Cool cat."

Marcie smiled as she picked up Dina. "Hello little kitty. You wouldn't happen to know where our friends are, would you?" Marcie asked. Dina replied with a simple 'meow' while glancing over to Alice's house, next to Charlie Brown's on the right side. "That must be the house."

"Then let's go." Peppermint Patty smiled as Dina led them to it. Lucy then changed the sign to 'The Doctor is Out', much to the disappointment of a customer.

"Hey!" the kid exclaimed.

"Sorry. I'll try to be back in a few." Lucy said as she followed her friends.

"How rude!" the kid groaned.

"SORRY, STEPHANIE!" Lucy called out

"They're in there." Patty said, as Dina led them in Alice's house. "Hello? Chuck? Heather? New kid?"

Lucy and Marcie looked around the living room, as well, before seeing Alice's mom with a tray of brownies. The mother then gave the three girls instructions "Get Alice and her friends to the table, for a brownie snack?" Lucy asked.

"Okay!" Patty said.

"Should we knock, upon entrance?" Marcie asked.

"Might as well." Lucy shrugged.

"Hello. Is anyone in there?" Marcie asked as she knocked once, but the door opened. They saw that it was empty.

"Hmm...no one's here." Lucy said. Marcie then spotted the Wonderland books.

"Looks like Alice loves classic literature." Marcie smiled. Peppermint Patty stared around the room before noticing the mirror.

"Of course Marcie. She's 11." Lucy said.

"How do you know that?" Marcie asked.

Lucy then picked up a card. "Birthday card." Lucy answered.

Peppermint Patty sighed, studying her appearance, with the help of Alice's mirror.

"Any luck, Patricia?" Lucy asked, startling Patty, as she tumbled into the mirror. "Patty? Pat? Patty?"

"Sir?" Marcie wondered. "Where are you?"

"She was just here with us!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Hey guys!" Peppermint Patty smiled, poking her head out of the mirror, startling them.

"I don't believe it..." Marcie said in awe.

"Me either." Lucy said, almost speechless. "How did you..."

"Don't ask questions! Just follow me!" Peppermint Patty smiled as she pulled back her head.

"Who's going first?" Lucy asked.

"You suggested it..." Marcie reasoned.

"She's YOUR friend."

"I'm just a bit uneasy."

"Fine. I'll show I'm not scared!" Lucy inhaled and walked straight into the mirror, screaming from excitement.

"Sounds like an instrument of torture..." Marcie shuddered, hiding under Alice's bed.

As soon as they stepped through the other side, they marveled at their surroundings. "Where are we, Patricia?" Lucy asked Patty.

"NOT Kansas." Patty said.

They took a chance to explore their surroundings before Lucy found a sign. "If you're reading this and you're not reading it upside down, you're in Wonderland." Lucy read.

"Wonderland?!" both Lucy and Peppermint Patty asked in unison.

"Whoa! I don't believe it!" Peppermint Patty smiled. "Marcie would flip is she saw this!" She then noticed that her friend wasn't with them. "Where's Marcie?"

"My best guess, she chickened out." Lucy rolled her eyes.

"I had a feeling she would." Peppermint Patty said. "So, let's go find Chuck and the others. Hopefully Alice might be with them."

Patty sighed as they started to walk around. "ANYONE HERE?!" she screamed, only to hear Alice scream from a distance.

"Nice one, Patricia." Lucy sighed. "You scared someone."

Peppermint Patty shrugged and just kept walking along, before skipping. "So pretty!" she said, before noticing the Rabbit roll by. "A rabbit on rollerskates. Who'd have thought?"

"Excuse me, Mr. Rabbit, but we're looking for our friends." Patty said.

"What do they look like, sir?" The Rabbit asked, clearly mistaking Patty's gender.

"EVEN IN WONDERLAND, I CAN'T CATCH A BREAK!" Peppermint Patty screamed, catching Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Woodstock, Sally, Linus, Heather and Alice's attentions.

"Sounded like Peppermint Patty." Heather said.

"COME ON! DON'T BE A SOUR GUMMY WORM!" Lucy yelled.

"And that sounds like Lucy." Sally said.

"Do you all have any more friends I should know about?" Alice grinned a playful grin.

"Besides Schroeder, Franklin, Marcie, PigPen, Shermy, 3, 4, 5, Violet, Frieda, and Patty Swanson?" Charlie Brown asked.

Alice blinked. "Yeah."

"Not really." Charlie Brown said as Peppermint Patty marched angrily with Lucy following her. She then stopped among seeing her friends.

"Hey! There you guys are!" Peppermint Patty smiled.

"How did you get here?" Linus asked his sister.

"We followed a cat. Me, Patricia and Marcie." Lucy said.

Linus smiled. "So...where IS Marcie?"

"She chickened out." Lucy and Patty said, in unison.

Charlie Brown rolled his eyes. "You'd think she'd be more daring." Sally complained.

Snoopy giggled a little, before performing his Cheshire Beagle trick. "Wow!" Alice clapped.

"Who should we meet next?" asked Lucy. "The Mad Hatter? Cheshire Cat? The Tweedles?"

"How about the caterpillar?" Alice asked.

"Caterpillar?" the others wondered, in unison.

"Maybe later..." Patty said. "Not in a bug mood."

"Okay. How about the Queen?" Alice then asked.

"Royalty! Yes!" Lucy grinned, as they ran off.

"Why did you come here anyway Chuck?" Peppermint Patty asked.

"It was Alice's idea. She thought this place might help me out with my story." Charlie Brown said.

"Oh! Thanks for reminding. Let's go see the Caterpillar!" Alice smiled.

"I thought we were gonna go see the queen!" Lucy protested.

"We'll do it later." Alice promised. "You sure you don't wanna see the Caterpillar, Peppermint Patty?"

"No thanks. I'll wait here with Snoop." Peppermint Patty said.

"K." Alice said as they headed into the mushroom forest, where the Caterpillar in question was eating his lunch. "Mr. Caterpillar? I'm sorry. Were you busy?" the Caterpillar shook his head. "That's good. These are my new friends: Charlie Brown, Heather, Lucy, Linus, and Sally."

"Well this is unique: guests in Wonderland." the Caterpillar said.

"Oh." Lucy said. "Has a little girl wandered here? Kinda chubby, brown hair, large white glasses?"

"Haven't seen one." Caterpillar said.

"Rats." Lucy snapped her fingers.

"Why'd you ask?" Alice asked.

"Just curious." Lucy said.

"Alice said you might help me out with something." Charlie Brown said. "You see, I have this extra credit homework assignment I need to do before school starts in two months and..."

"Sorry son. I don't do windows." the Caterpillar said, thinking Charlie Brown was talking about housework.

"Oh no, no. He didn't housework, he meant homework." Heather smiled. "You know like math problems or English assignments."

"You mean school work?" the Caterpillar asked.

"Homework is school work." Alice said.

"Yeah. Any help?" Sally asked.

"I don't know. I think you all lost me." the Caterpillar said, picking up a book.

"I have to write this story for my English class." Charlie Brown said. "Will you please help me?"

"Speaking of housework, I'm reminded of a story." the Caterpillar said.

"Marcie would love this." Lucy told Linus. "Too bad she missed this."

Linus nodded his head and tied his blanket around his sister's mouth. "All set."

Lucy furrowed her brows at her younger brother before the Caterpillar started to read.

"Once there was a little boy who liked to play basketball. His mother tried to get him to clean his room, but he wouldn't listen. His mother told him that if he kept his room clean, fame and fortune was sure to follow. She also noted that if he didn't do it right this instant, he couldn't play basketball for a whole week. The boy ran up to his room and he scrubbed and swept until he had the cleanest bedroom in the world."

"Wow!" Sally said.

"Word spread of his clean room, and he was visited by famous people far and wide. The boy became famous all over the universe, and traveled very interesting places. And found out that other life forms had to clean their rooms. But luckily, he still had time to play basketball."

"That was a wonderful story." Heather smiled.

"It sure was." Alice smiled.

"Wait, I had trouble following. Could you please repeat it so I can write it down?" Charlie Brown asked.

"Why son, I'm surprised at you." the Caterpillar said. "It wouldn't be right to use my story for your housework assignment."

"Homework." Alice chuckled.

"Either way, my stories are my stories. You should focus on writing your own." the Caterpillar said.

"I know. I'm just writing about the fact that a caterpillar read a story." Charlie Brown said.

Lucy finally removed Linus's blanket from her mouth and gave Linus a good slugging. "Gee. Someone's a little crabby today." the Caterpillar noticed.

"I am!" Lucy barked.

"Are you okay, Linus?" Alice asked as she helped him back on his feet.

"It was worth it." Linus smiled.

"You know, violence isn't the best way to solve anything." Alice said.

"It is too, Wonder Girl." Lucy shot back. They then started to walk again.

"Someone should teach her some manners." Alice whispered to Heather.

"You think?" Heather giggled with Alice as they left the Mushroom Forest.
