This is an original Utena fanfic that means the Mystic Sisters won't be appearing in this fic. The only role that I play in this nutty production is the director.

Utena in Wonderland
AJ Angelique
3) Act 1: Wonderland
Outside in the theater, the audience quiets down as the lights dim and the orchestra begins to play.
"Chaos House proudly, presents. Alice in Wonderland, as performed by the characters from Revolutionary Girl Utena," I said into my microphone and the spot lights hit the stage as the orchestra ends the opening theme and the curtains are pulled back to reveal the first sceen as a softer song begins to play.
"It was a beautiful Spring day as Alice and Dinah enjoyed a picnic out in the backyard of their home in merry old England," I said as Utena and ChuChu sat on a blanket with the full spreads of a picnic laid before them. Behind them, everyon could see the backdrop of a grassy yard with a small forest in the distance.
"Isn't this a great day for a picnic Dinah?" Utena asked ChuChu as she held up a tea cup.
"Chu!" ChuChu said as he tried to engulf a entire peice of chesse cake.
"Yes...Dinah, do you smell pine needles?" Utena asked as the scent of pine needles became apparent in the air...as I sit in my narrator's chair wildly fanning behind myself.
"Yes, there was a fair wind blowing that day and said winds blew in the scent of pine trees from the distant forest. Yet this only served to distract Alice from the fragrance of the White Rabbit's perfume as she chanced to pass by," I said, trying to cover up for my silent fart. Boy do I love it when my fart comes out at unexpected moments and smells differently each time.
Taking the cue, Anthy entered stage right as she had this lost look on her face.
"Oh my, I'm late," she said and Utena looked up at her.
"You missed your peri...?" Utena started but it seemed as if Anthy didn't hear her.
"I'm late, I'm ever so late," Anthy said as her giant watch began to give off alarm bells.
"Oh no! She'll have my whiskers if I don't get there soon," Anthy gasped and began to dash stage left.
"Wait!" Utena shouted and gave chase. The two girls got onto an convery belt that began to roll as they dashed onto it.
"Chu?" ChuChu asked as he and the rest of the picnic moved off stage right and the backdrop began to move as if the two girls were really running. This only lasted a minute as Anthy jumped up and then fell through a trap door in the floor.
"Weeee!" Anthy squealed.
"Eeeeee!" Utena shrieked as she tripped and fell face first through the trap door...and I flinch because that wasn't in the script. The converbelt vanished and the backdrop went black before it changed to the inside of the rabbit hole as Utena promtly fell from the ceiling with an blue unbrellA in her hands. Utena fell no more than five feet before the umbrella popped open and she began to "float" down the rabbit hole as a fann enflated the umbrella a wire keeps Utena from falling.
"Curiouser and curiouser," Utena said as she looked around the rabbit hole as things passed by...and yes, floated by her. Utena looked up with surprise and worry as various peices of furniture floated up from various trap holes in the stage. It wasn't long before her airspace began to get cluttered and Utena started to curl up into a fetal position. Then, as suddenly as at it started, the ride ended as all the furniture moved away from Utena and the umbrella collasped. She let out a single shriek and fell to the floor with an loud "umph" as the backdrop changed to a feild with roads. As Utena groaned in pain and stood up, a large tree rolled on stage from stage left and stopped next to her as she turned to look at it.
"Woah, that's a lot of signs..." Utena said as she looked at all the signs nailed to the tree, "but, which way do I go from here?"
"Way?" asked a male voice and Akio stepped out from behind the tree with a big grin.
"Who are you?" Utena asked.
"I'm the Chesire Cat, I know everything there is about this land," Akio said.
"Then maybe you can help me find my way home?" Utena asked hopefully.
"Maybe..." Akio said.
"What do you mean maybe?" Utena asked but Akio just grinned more and Utena began to get nervous...and it showed.
"If you go that way, you will find the March Hare," Akio said as he pointed behind Utena who turned and looked.
"If you go this way, you will find the Mad Hatter," Akio said as he pointed to another road, which both it and the first road intersected in the woods.
"But I don't want to meet mad people," Utena said.
"You can't help it, we're all mad here. Even you...I suppose," Akio said.
"What makes you say that?" Utena asked with her hands on her hips.
"Because you're here...I'd go down that road," Akio said and pointed to stage left. Utena looked and took a couple steps towards stage left. This left Akio behind her and he took this moment to slip behind the tree.
"Why...?" she started to ask and turned back around to see that he was gone. She looked around a couple times and let out a heavy sigh.
"Well, it's as good a direction as any," Utena said and exited stage left as Akio poked his head out of the tree to watch her leave before he turned to the audience.
"This is going to be ever so much fun, I just sent her to the Tweetle sisters. They haven't had an audience in such a long time and this should be interesting," Akio said as he wnet back behind the tree which rolled off stage right as the lights began to dim for the next act.
