Thank you a lot David, you're the man :D
Wonderland 4 - The Rocker Hare
"Ouch!" said Faith hitting her head on a tree. "Didn't see that here before."
"You okay Fai?" Buffy asked caressing Faith's head.
"Fine, this stupid tree came out of nowhere" she said pointing to the tree. Just then, someone jumped out of it.
"I see you've reached me before I could reach you" said Spike with hare ears and dark make-up eyes. "So, what brings two slayers to my place?"
"Spike!" Faith said laughing. "And I thought this place couldn't get any crazier."
"We are lost Spike, and we don't know what's going on" Buffy said.
"Oh!! That's it? I can tell you what's going on, it's that annoying race, and they are all after me, stupid dogs" Spike said pissed off. "And nobody wants to get late to the tea party, but, it's not even five o'clock, it's no fun drinking tea at any time besides five o'clock".
"'Cuz you're British?" Faith asked.
"No! Because it's the bloody rule, it's says in the book, five o'clock it's time to drink tea, if you don't drink it you'll go to jail, and the Queens will put you on trial."
"Queens? Which Queens?" asked Buffy.
"The red and the white Queen, they love a good riddle, so most of the trials you need to solve a riddle of theirs, that's why I only drink my tea at five o'clock, not to mention, being in prison would ruin my rock singer fame" Spike said making a I'm-too-good-to-be-true pose.
"That really doesn't clarify much, good thing I love a good riddle" said Faith.
"Rock singer fame?" asked Buffy astonished.
"Yeah, I sing, quite good, here, listen to my newest song, it's called The Fantastic Coffin -
Quickly went the coffin, and, in it, included, Ashes, skull boxes, cartilage Native, like in the dreams of the wild, Of obscure abstract aberrations!
Maybe the muses are in this coffin, Maybe my father! Hoffmaniacs visions, Filled my encephalon of images, The monist energy of the world, At midnight, entered deep, In my extraordinary full brain...
It was late! It was very cold, In the street only the dark coffin, That was continuing it's stroll"
"It's hum... dark" Buffy said a bit awkwardly.
"Yeah, but quite nice" complemented Faith.
"It's a masterpiece, took me five seconds to compose it, and three hours to write it down. Express all my feelings, and it's like a reminder of my death status" Spike said feeling proud.
"At least you know you're dead, but anyway, how can we find the exit?" asked Faith.
"You don't, the exit finds you, you're thinking that you can make your own way, but that's the opposite that actually happens, your destiny and final goal is what makes you follow the path. Sad to know, all the decisions you make, even the bad ones, are already predestinated" Spike said taking out a bottle of bourbon and drinking half of it in just one gulp.
"But, before you get drunk, tell us, do you know where Giles is?" Buffy asked trying to not get into the 'destiny' talk.
"I never get drunk, alcohol is the same as water, but with a funny taste. Now, Giles, he must be drinking his five o'clock tea, follow right ahead, he's gonna be alone in a giant table, I like to drink tea with him, but I'm always late, so I'll only get there when the clock hits five o'clock again, which means it won't be long, time here is a funny thing" he said giving Buffy a small watch.
"Weird" said Buffy taking a look at the time, the watch would change the time every now and then, first it marked three o'clock, and then it was one in the morning, and now it was marking four thirty.
"Five o'clock will be in ten paces, start walking" the watch said in a robotic kind of voice.
"Wicked watch Spike" Faith said taking a look at it.
"Yeah, now sod off, I'll meet you at the end of the race, right now I need to run before the doggies can catch me" he said taking three bottles of bourbon with him.
"Okay, so Fai, let's go find Giles, I can't believe we are this close to finding him and getting the proper answers" Buffy said cheerfully.
"Somehow I feel like he won't be that much of a help" Faith said, but walking with Buffy. "If all we need to find him is ten paces, than it won't be that bad' Faith thought.
