Summary – Rita is very interested in the fantasy world of Wonderland and decides to make her own just for the Rangers. Guess which Ranger is forced into wearing the blue Alice dress. (PR Time original team with Tommy) Please review my insanity.

Time– PR Time, Tommy is the Green Ranger and they're all still using the DinoZords.

I'm Not Wearing This

Tommy

"I am not wearing this!" Glaring at the others, I dare anyone to make any kind of comment. This is not fair! Why am I the one stuck in the dress? Why!? It makes absolutely no sense.

Leaning against a rock and twirling her gold pocket watch, the Playboy Bunny costume clad Kimberly looks too amused for her own good. "Oh come on now, it's not THAT bad. I mean, hey, look at what I have to wear!" And am I ever. Clad in a pink leotard with pink tights, she has snow-white fur over her chest, ankles, and wrists. Top that all off with a white bunny ear headband, a fluffy white tail, and her watch that looks like something from Tiffany's and you got the cutest rabbit this story's ever seen. But that's not the point; I think I'd rather wear that then this stupid, fruffy dress.

"Don't be so upset, you look…nice." The Cheshire Cat grin spreading across Jason's face makes me want to punch him. Well that's just great, and why exactly is he not in a cat costume? I'm assuming that's what he's suppose to be, right, the Cheshire Cat. So why does he get to wear the fancy, old-time, Noble Men suit, with the red vest and long tailed coat, not to mention pants, with nothing really absurd other then a dark purple cat ear headband.

"Shut up. Just find a way to get us out of here and shut up." Crossing my arms and sitting down on the grassy ground under the oak tree, I try and spare what little shred of dignity I have left. Which is really not going to happen as I suddenly notice the stupid dress ridding up too high on my tight-clad thighs. As I hear the chorus of repressed snickers and laughs I can't help the horrible flush that comes into my cheeks. I hate Rita. I'm going to kill her when I get out of this, off with her head, isn't that what the Red Queen's deal was in this story? Yeah I'm gonna take Rita's head off the second we get home.

"Okay, okay, he is right you guys. We do need to find a way home." Thank you, Trini. Straightening her own dress, the pretty Asian girl looks really very stunning in her costume. She's dressed, I'll take a guess here, as the White Queen. Or maybe the White Queen chess piece. The flowing white gown and rather tall silver crown makes her truly look like royalty.

"Yeah, but I say we have a spot of tea first." Pulling his tall top hat a little to the side, Zack grins as he twirls a teacup around his finger. Great, this place is already getting to him. But then I suppose his character suits him best of all. The Mad Hatter, the insane jokester of this twisted fairy tail. Yep, Zack to a T. Well at least Rita got one of us right.

"You guys, I think we should hold the imprudence for later. Right now we need to get out of here before anything really unpleasant occurs." Take that back, Zack isn't the only one the witch got right. Billy is so the Caterpillar. Sitting beside me, he seems to be getting a headache, guess the land of nonsense is not the land for the intelligent Blue Ranger who relies mostly on reality and science. Greenish blue suit shimmering in the sun, he lazily rolls his smoke bottle between his hands.

God how did we even get into this mess!

(2 hours ago, Angel Grove Park)

Sitting under the tree, I try to concentrate on the book. I don't know why I said I'd do a report on this. I mean it seemed like a good idea at the time for my semester final in English. Doing a simple paper on the work and life of Lewis Carol. I mean what kid hasn't read 'Alice in Wonderland' or 'Alice through the Looking Glass'? I guess I just forgot how long the book actually was. And it being such a nice day in the park and all, probably not the best location I could have picked out to reread this book.

"Whatcha reading?" Jumping nearly a foot in the air as Jason's voice snaps me out of my daydream, I mentally kick myself. This is why I shouldn't be a Ranger. I mean I didn't even hear him come up and I doubt he was sneaking, lord what if it had been Rita or Goldar? I'm gonna die. Taking the book from me, Jase sees the title then gives me a bit of an amused look. I'm reading it for school so you can just wipe that grin off your face.

"I'm reading it for my term paper. I'm doing it on Lewis Carol and I thought I'd put in some passages from 'Alice in Wonderland' since it was like his best-known story. So you can just stop grinning like a Cheshire Cat." Taking the book back, I mark my page and close it.

"Touchy. Besides I wasn't gonna say anything, I was just a bit surprised, you don't strike me as the type to be into…" Trailing off, he gazes out at the lake in front of us. Into what? Do you really want to know? Curiosity killed the cat you know.

"Into what?" Putting the book aside, I look anywhere but at him. Great, probably thinks I'm a dork now.

Looking back at me, confused for a moment, he seems to recall what he'd said. "Oh, I don't know, nothing. I guess my first impression of you was like this bad boy from LA. I mean I know you're not, I guess it just made me realize it completely when I saw the book." Perhaps thinking he's somehow offended me, he quickly tries to make up for it. He didn't, I mean I know I'm a bit of an outcast, they're only friends with me cuz I'm a Ranger, but I mean he really didn't hurt my feelings or anything. "I didn't mean that how it sounded. Sorry. I just meant you're a surprising person." Is that good or bad?

"Oh." I don't really know what to say to that, so I kinda just leave it. "Jase, um, can I ask you something, I mean I really li-"

"Hi guys!" Bounding over to us like a bunny on speed, Kim plops down on the ground by me. Great timing. I mean I guess it's not important, I just wanted to ask him why he's letting me even be a Ranger when I can't do anything, but whatever, I guess it's waited for three weeks what's a few more hours.

"Hi." Reaching over, I try to slide my book between my back and the tree before she can see it. Jase is one thing, but I really don't need the others thinking I'm all into fa-

"Whatcha got there, Dragon Boy?" Coming from the other side, Zack, Billy, and Trini, move to join us. Zack quickly reaches for the book and gets it before I can stop him. Oh great, I'm never gonna live this down. Well that's ju-

"Why on Earth must you be so nosy, Zack?" Taking the book from him before he can see the title, Jason sets it in his lap so the back blank cover is showing. "Speaking of noses, can you believe Mrs. Applebee is getting her nose done?" As everyone quickly forgets about the book and jumps on that topic, Jason gives me an 'am I good or what' look. Yeah, yer good.

-ooo-

(20 min. later)

Leaning against the tree, I listen halfheartedly to the conversation going on around me. Wish I could just take a nap. Just a nice little catnap, I didn't get too much sleep last night and it would do me good. Eyes closed, I'm still contemplating my nap when I hear the shouting begin.

"Thought you learned your lesson last time flea bag!" Opening my heavy eyes, I see Jason facing off with Goldar as the others get into position. Great, so not in the mood for a fight, but then not much choice is there. Climbing to my own feet, I move behind Jason.

"You'll be sorry for that, human!" Brandishing his sword, he moves a step closer. Um, far be it for me to tell you what to do, Jase, but perhaps it's time to cut the macho act and morph? And by the look on Kim's face she's probably thinking along the same lines. "Putties attack!" As the swarm of Putties appears, we all fall back a little. Morph, now please?

"Rangers spread out." Spread out? How about morph? Cuz I think that's a better plan when facing Goldar and this many Putties. Never the less we all spread and begin fighting for our lives. Kick, punch, spin kick, duct, run…S'only when I hear Jason let out a loud yell of pain do I look over to him.

Currently fighting Goldar, they both seem to be fighting over something in particular. What is that Goldar's got? As Jason pulls himself off the ground and lunges at the monster again, I finally get a good enough look at it. My book? Why does he want my book? Throwing Jason back down again, I'm sure the boy's got to have a broken rib by now.

"Enough!" All of us stopping and turning around, I nearly cringe when I see Rita standing a few feet away. I know I'm being stupid, but you don't know how powerful she is. I do, believe me I saw things at that palace of hers that would give Freddy Krugar nightmares.

"What do you want, witch!?" I'm sure he wanted to say something else there. But then I guess Jason's just been taught better manners then me. Holding his side, now I'm sure one of his ribs is broken, Jason stares her down.

"So glad you asked. But what would be the fun in telling you? Better to show you." Motioning for Goldar to toss her my book, I'm not even sure I want to know what she's up to. Watch her bring out that dragon creature, the Jabberwock, from the story. That'd be fun. As Goldar throws the book down a few feet away, we all know we're in trouble.

"Guys, it's morphen ti-" Finally deciding it's too serious now, Jase gives the order I've been waiting for, unfortunately it's given a tad too late.

"Bye, bye, Rangers!" Raising her wand, the sorceress opens a bright green vortex over the book. That is so not a good sign, is it. Before any of even realizes what hit us, we're all being pulled into it and wherever it ends up.

-ooooooo-

(Back to present time)

"Well, how exactly do we get out of here?" Still toying with her watch, Kim looks every with way, seeing nothing but an on going field, broken only occasionally by a tree here, or a rock there. Wait, I take that back, there is one way that leads out of this endless field and surprise, surprise, it's right in front of our faces. When I point to the very large rabbit hole to Kim's right I can practically feel her groan. "And when I asked that question I meant a way besides that hole in the ground, 'Alice'. I am not going down there."

Call me Alice again and I'm gonna pull that fluffy tail right off yer butt, sister. "Fine, then we'll just walk around this field, that by all rights possibly never ends, get lost in the middle of nowhere, die of starvation, in these idiotic costumes I might add, but hey as long as we don't have to go down a hole I guess it's all worth it." Hey, I'm in a dress and white tights, I have a damn right to be cranky. Besides, Jason's looking like I have a point here, so there little Miss Playmate of the month.

Sighing, Jason moves to the hole and peers down it. "I think he's right. I mean as far as we know we're stuck in this play world Rita's created. So I'm guessing since we're in costume and in a story we all mostly know, maybe the smartest thing to do is to follow the story. Maybe if we get to the end of it, we'll find our way out. In any case it beats sitten here for god knows how long and waiting for Zordon to save us." I'm right, go me.

"I don't like it. For all we know Rita's altered the story and we're gonna be dragon food the second we go down there. Wasn't there a dragon in the story?" Still looking at the hole as if the said dragon is going to pop out any second, Kim backs up a touch.

"Yes, it was called the Jabberwock. Never the less I have to concur with Jason and Tommy; it will do us no good to sit here. For all we know Zordon may be unable to locate us for some time, there for I agree that the most intelligent course of action would be to play out the parts we've been give and hope that when the story is finished we may be able to get out of it." So, you agree with me? That's what you said, right Billy?

"I guess that makes sense." Looking a touch lost, Zack goes with the flow. "I mean, what else are we gonna do? Beats just sitting here." True, especially for me, not that I'm crazy about going into wherever and being seen by whoever in this dress. But yeah, it does beat just sitting here and having them tease me to pass the time.

"Yeah, I say we go for it. I mean why not? We've faced worse things then a fairy tail, how bad can it be?" I hate it when one of them asks that. You just jinxed the whole thing, you know that, right Trini. "Of course, it does mean that Kim has to go first. I mean that's how the story goes right? Alice follows the white rabbit down the hole."

Looking rather appalled by this, Kim grips her watch nervously. "Whoa, no way, I may be going along with this, but I am not going first. Jason, you're the leader here, you go for it." You are such a baby, can't even go down a rabbit hole and you fight monsters for a living.

Face weary and a little stressed, Jason scratches his head where the cat headband is. Funny, didn't move an inch, come to think of it Kim's ears haven't fallen yet either. What, they got um super glued to their heads? "Fine. The four of us will go first, then Kim, then Tommy. That's pretty fair as far as the story goes, right? I mean technically we're suppose to be there when Tommy and Kim come down, I think. So Trini, Billy, Zack, we'll go, Kim you wait a few seconds then follow us, Tommy then you."

"I think you all are taking this story business too seriously." The mutter lacks conviction but it's still not a very pleasant or helpful comment from the bunny girl.

"Kim please, we're stuck here for now, so give it a rest. All we have to go on is the story and I think the wisest thing to do is to play along for now." That said, Jason motions for Zack, Trini, and Billy to join him around the entrance of the fairy tale world. "Everyone ready?" When there's a collection of nods, Jase takes a deep breath. "See ya on the other side." Jumping down the dark pit, he's gone in a second; Zack, Trini, and Billy quickly follow.

"We're doomed." Rubbing her temples, Kim looks at her watch again, then at me. Smirking just a little, she turns to the hole. (1) "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date." Not giving me a chance to reply to her silly behavior she's gone in a flash.

"Great, just what I wanted to do on a Saturday. Chase a Playboy Bunny down a hole." Pushing myself to my feet, I tug at the dress trying to make it some how longer. I hate my life. Moving to the hole, I take a deep breath and jump on in.

To be continued………

(1) "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date."
