Ryou had finally managed to figure out the size changing problem and grown
back to an appropriate size. "All mimsy were the borogroves...And the mome
raths outgrabe." Sang the familiar voice of Pegasus. "Oh Hello again,
find your way?" He said strolling along a path ahead. Ryou shook his
head. "Not even the slightest..." Pegasus gave Ryou a mock look of
sadness. "Perhaps you should go to the palace to see the king? He is very
wise." Ryou blinked. "Although, he has a temper. Don't go losing your
head...," Pegasus said tilting his ears to the sides. "My head?" Ryou
said tilting his head to the side. "Why yes, the king is famous for
chopping off heads. Don't you know the story?" Ryou shook his head. "Oh
then I shall tell you." Pegasus said clearing his throat.
"The King of Games, he had some cards, All on a summer day: The Knave of Games, he stole those cards,
And took them quite away!"
Ryou blinked. "Who was the knave?" Pegasus smirked. "Doesn't right matter much anymore...not where he is." He said motioning a slitted throat. Ryou stared. "You mean...?" Pegasus nodded. "Right you are! Good lad!" Ryou made a face. "Why would I want to see someone who has a bad temper, especially one so much as that!?" Pegasus sipped his wine. "Its all matter of playing the cards proper." Ryou followed after Pegasus. "Are YOU going to the palace of the king?" Pegasus smirked. "No, I've already LOST my head...heh...it angers him that I cannot be lose to him what I've already lost to myself." Ryou made a face. "Just follow this path until you get to the bush maze. Then once you pass the maze you'll be at the palace." Pegasus said fading away in mid-step.
"I'm SO utterly late! The king will have my head for sure!" Jono screeched blazing past Ryou and running down the path to the palace." Ryou darted after him. "Wait a minute! What are you late FOR?!" Ryou yelled after him turning a sharp corner, and losing sight of Jono. "Good grief! This is rather annoying..." He mumbled walking down the path boredly. Ryou walked for hours before coming across someone sitting on the side of the road. He had a long lion like tail and ears and looked terribly like Malik. Next to him sat a double of Dinosaur Ryuzaki, who was wearing a hard hat and moving a small collection of shells. Ryou blinked.
"Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the king's palace?" "Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the king's palace?" Ryou made a face.
"Its not nice to mimic people..." "Its not nice to mimic people..." Malik giggled as Ryuzaki repeated every word Ryou said, and Ryou huffed...
"You aren't being very mature." "You aren't being very mature." Ryou scowled.
"Will you quit it!" "Will you quit it!"
Malik giggled again. Ryou got an idea. "I'm a little tea pot, short and stout...," he said in a singsong voice. Both boys looked at him. "He said it first!!" Malik began laughing. Ryou blinked. "Said what?" Malik chuckled. "That you're a little teapot!" Ryuzaki sniggered. "So what?" Ryou blinked. "So..." Malik grinned. "You're short and fat!" Ryou slapped his forehead. "That's what short and stout MEANS!" He groaned. "Do you know the way to the palace or not?" Both nodded. "Well...can you tell me?" Ryuzaki nodded solemnly. "Will you walk a little faster?" said a whiting to a snail. "There's a porpoise close behind us, and he's treading on my Tail. See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance! They are waiting on the shingle--will you come and join the Dance?
Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the Dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the Dance?
You can really have no notion how delightful it will be When they take us up and throw us, with the lobsters, out to sea!" But the snail replied "Too far, too far!" and gave a look askance-- Said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the Dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, would not join the Dance. Would not, could not, would not, could not, could not join the Dance.
What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied. There is another shore, you know, upon the other side. The further off from England the nearer is to France-- Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance. Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the Dance? Will you, won't you, will you, won't you, won't you join the Dance?" Ryou blinked. "What sort of dance is this you're talking about?" He said curiosity overruling his desire to go to the palace. "The Lobster Quadrille" Malik said dreamily. Ryuzaki sighed. "Long time since it was last..." Malik nodded. "I miss the merry days of old..." He said scratching a wing. Ryou blinked. The Malik look alike had WINGS?! "Um...well...the palace...tell me where it is? Please?" Ryuzaki sighed sadly. "I wish to dance once more...," He mumbled ignoring Ryou. Malik nodded. "Yes...perhaps our friend here could dance with us?" Ryou blinked. "Dance? Oh no...I have two left feet...really all I want is to go to the palace." He mumbled realizing he was probably going to have to dance with the two others.
Bakura looked at Ryou; he had dark circles under his eyes from sleepless nights worrying about his hikari. It'd been three days now. "Ryou...please wake up soon...," Bakura said picking at some breakfast Yami had brought him. Anzu had been in earlier, with Mai and Malik and his yami. Before them Haga and Ryuzaki had been in...They were Ryou's friends...even if it wasn't much of a friendship.
Ryou groaned and walked out of the hedge maze. "That was a hard maze...," He said lying down on the grass. "I'm so tired..." He mumbled looking up and noticing many MANY Honda cards running about. "Hurry! Hurry hurry!" They rushed about carrying paintbrushes and slathering paint all over blue- eyes white dragons and dark magicians. "We must paint the eyes blue!" They all shouted. Ryou blinked and stood up. "What are you doing?" The Honda cards looked at Ryou. "We got the King these statues...but the eyes are all wrong! His highness is sure to blow his top if there is even one detail wrong!" They said begining to sing "We're painting the eyes blue!" Ryou picked up a paintbrush and carefully joined in. 'If the king is as head happy as Pegasus told me...then it's only right for me to try and save them.' Ryou thought as he helped.
(Ahem, I thought now would be a good place for an authors note! I was told that there was another Ryou in wonderland out there. I want to specify that I do not copy...this is the aftermath of too much sugar and watching THAT particular movie! oh ^_^ and how am I doin eh? Leave reviews and rejoice! I will be expierementing with new couplings because my creative juices flooooow! WAHOO!)
