Welcome to Wonderland - Part 2
The boy at the head of the table sighed, looking rather irritated. Another guy beside him had bunny ears that were twitching in my direction.
?: So... Why are you not sitting, Alice?
I gave the rabbit boy a dull look.
Samantha: Number one, no one said I could have a seat. Number two, I think it's rather rude for me to sit down without being invited; also someone might be sitting there.
Clyde: I am!
A few people gave him the 'Please shut up' look.
Samantha: And how many more times will I say this? I am not Alice, I'm Samantha.
A few cookies on the table started chanting.
Cookies: Oreo! OREEEOOO! Oreo! OREEEOOO!
My attention diverted to the black and white cookies. They marched in perfect formation right onto a bright pink plate.
Samantha: (Must. Hold. In. Giggles... ) Pfft... Hahahahaha!
I burst into a laughing fit. The boy with the top hat facepalmed.
?: You may have a seat, Samantha. Would you like some tea?
I held my stomach and took the empty seat nearest to me. I quickly calmed myself, and nodded.
Samantha: Some tea would be very nice, thank you.
A purple cup appeared out of nowhere and landed in front of me, brimming with a clear pinkish liquid.
Samantha: ... (Ah, the... tea... is pink...)
The rabbit boy sat up straight suddenly.
?: We haven't given our names! I'm sorry, Alice!
I glared at him, and cleared my throat.
?: What?
Samantha: You interrupted the marshmallows song... Rather rude.
He ignored my random comment and continued.
?: I'm Sidd Rex, and this to my left is Ash.
The sleepy boy only shifted his pillow. He had fluffy grey hair and was adorable.
Samantha: He can't introduce himself?
Sidd shook his head, making his ears flop.
Samantha: (D-I-S-T-R-A-C-T-I-N-G!) So what's your name?
I directed my question toward the top hat boy.
?: I am Luke Estheim.
Clyde hugged his brother awkwardly in the side of my vison. I pointed to them.
Samantha: Clyde and Kyle Knock? Correct?
Luke nodded. The red-haired boy beside him was playing with some cards and teasing the cookies.
Samantha: (Cookies...) Hey! You! Dude with the cards! Tell me your name.
The boy looked up, surprised.
?: Me? My name is Joker Braze.
I pick up a random oreo and observed it.
Samantha: Hmm... What card?
Joker shuffled the deck and pulled a random one out.
Joker: Six of Diamonds.
I smiled and ate the cookie. Clyde came over to me.
Clyde: Okay! Tea time's over! Now for traveling!
I stood and waved at the boys.
Samantha: See you later, Luke, Sidd, Joker, Ash, Kyle, and Owen!
The Chess King's eyes widened.
Owen: Wait, how did you know my name?
I smirked and followed Clyde back to the road.
Clyde: I told my brother everything! He says we should go to the Queen of Hearts if you wanna go home.
He shivered when he said 'Queen of Hearts'.
Samantha: Hmm... What, does she know my address?
Clyde shook his head.
Clyde: She has a mirror to take you home. If she lets you borrow it, then problem solved. If not... you're stuck here.
I shrugged, and grabbed a pair of headphones out of nowhere. Because Wonderland is magic.
Clyde: She most likely won't give us the mirror, in which case... You can stay and join more tea parties! I bet you'd make them less boring.
Samantha: I can try... Not promising anything though. Do they have blacksmiths around here?
I pulled lightly on the cord attached to the headphones, and a device landed in my hand. Clyde glanced at it.
Clyde: Plenty of blacksmiths... Your magic is cool, what are those things?
Samantha: Thanks, they are called headphones and... Well, I don't know what this is, but it plays music through the headphones.
Clyde: Cool!
I reached over and poked Clyde. He turned and tilted his head.
Samantha: Here.
I handed him my shoes. Clyde's ears flattened against his head.
Clyde: Shoes?
I nodded and gave him a apologetic look.
Samantha: My feet were starting to hurt, and I can't just throw them into my imagination.
Clyde: Why not?
Samantha: They'd get stuck on the portal in and melt, and then you couldn't sell them or anything.
The look on Clyde's face said 'Oh', and he smiled at me.
A little while later we ran into someone, or rather I did. The boy turned around, surprised.
?: Are you okay?
I looked up and saw familiar blue eyes, then my mind did a back flip.
Samantha: (C-cute! Kaito! SQUEE!) Uh...
Kaito tilted his head confusedly, and repeated his question.
Samantha: (Reply, idiot! And stop staring.) Yeah...
Kaito: So... What's your name? Do you know where I can find the other vocaloids?
I slapped myself mentally to keep in touch with reality.
Samantha: I'm Samantha Nekozhka, and I don't even know where I am, much less where other vocaloids are. Sorry.
Kaito looked a little sad, but brightened up when he noticed Clyde.
Kaito: Does he know where they are?
Clyde's ears flattened, and he growled.
Clyde: Address me to my face, blue-head.
Kaito looked taken aback, and quickly raised his hands defensively.
Samantha: I don't get what's happening here...
Kaito looked just as confused as me.
Kaito: I'm sorry, what's your name, sir? Do you know where I am?
Clyde seemed appeased at being called sir.
Clyde: Well first off, you're in Wonderland! And second off, you tell me your name first.
Kaito started looking frustrated, and crossed his arms.
Samantha: (Why do they dislike each other so much? I thought Clyde liked everyone?) Hey! Clyde, what's the matter?
Clyde: He smells funny, and his voice is weird, and he ignored me.
Kaito: You weren't standing in my line of vison, and I am a vocaloid. My voice doesn't sound funny!
They soon started arguing, and glared at each other.
Samantha: Both of you, SHUT UP!
Silence reigned with a firm will. I gave both of them disapproving looks, then smiled as the giggles attacked me. Both stared in confusion as I sat down and had a good laughing fit. Finally I stood and cleared my throat.
Samantha: Sorry, you two are definitely rivals already. Anyway, this is Kaito and he smells funny because he isn't human.
My explanation made sense to Kaito. But Clyde scratched his head.
Clyde: Rivals?
Samantha: You'll see later. Anyway, Kaito, would you like to join us?
Kaito seemed pleased and he agreed. Again we continued walking.
Kaito: So your name's Clyde?
Clyde: Wha- How- How does everyone know?!
Samantha: Clyde Knock, actually.
Clyde: W-wait! How did both of you know!?
Kaito & Samantha: Lucky guess.
Clyde: What?!
Kaito: I was wondering... How did Samantha know my name?
Samantha: You're pretty popular where I come from.
Kaito: Hmm...
Samantha: Let's sing to pass the time!
Kaito and Clyde both looked interested.
Samantha: OOOHH! ONE BILLION BOTTLES OF POP ON THE WALL!
Everyone joined in the obnoxious song, Kaito sounding the best, Clyde coming next as he wasn't trying for obnoxious, and me last because I was trying to be obnoxious.
Sidd Rex - From Lost Alice.
Ash - From SWD: Guilty Alice. He's such a cute, sleepy little Dormouse. *squeaks happily*
Luke Estheim, Joker Braze, Owen Chester - Also from Lost Alice.
Queen of Hearts - Actually more of an OC than anything.
Kaito Shion - Vocaloid. My precious...
