"What's gone wrong?" Alice asked.

"Wonderland," the Caterpillar, said.

"Gee, like I couldn't figure that out, myself," Nny muttered.

Alice ignored him, and continued to listen to the Caterpillar. The Caterpillar unfortunately was still crying. Being the smart person that he was, Nny stepped out of the way of the huge sobbing caterpillar.

"The Mad Hatter. . . . . . . . He . . . . He . . . . . . Stole. . . . My," At this moment the Caterpillar broke into huge sobs. The tears that fell from his eyes, got everyone wet within a ten mile radius. Once again, Nny's nice leather jacket was getting wet. Then he spoke up.

"Can't we just kill it?"

Alice turned around slowly, her big green eyes flashing.

"Does everything you do revolve around killing something?" She demanded. She didn't wait for an answer and returned her attention back to the Caterpillar.

"What did they take Caterpillar?"

"He took my crown, and made me a whiny baby!"

Nny barley managed to stifle a giggle that was threatening to escape from his throat. Alice was trying to do the same. Then the Caterpillar stopped crying. Nny knew it was a miracle, but his rejoicing was soon stopped, as soon as he heard what the Caterpillar wanted them to do.

Grinning, the Caterpillar said, "If you help me I'll help you... What do you say Alice?"

"Wait!! Hold on! What do I have to do? Hey will somebody listen to me? Hellloooo?" Nny started to jump up and down, attempting to get their attention.

"Yes, we will help you. Who will guide us?"

This brought a huge smile onto the Caterpillar's face. His smile took over his face and showed two rows of yellowed, hole filled teeth. Nny grimaced. That was wrong. Very wrong.

"The Blue Rabbit of course!"

"The. Blue. Rabbit?" Nny asked. ( speaking slowly in disbelief)

"Oh the Blue Rabbit! He is offspring of the White Rabbit of course. And boy would you three get along great. Oh, yes. You would. BLUE RABBIT!!! COME HERE! I HAVE A JOB FOR YOU!"

The rabbit hopped out from under the Caterpillar. It was in the shape of a large jack rabbit, but deformed. It had blue fur covering his body; shocking electric blue fur. It's left eye was nothing more than a slit and was placed very high on his face. His right eye was the size of a dinner plate, and took up the whole left side of his face. The rabbit's head was shaped like a squash. Rounded at the beginning and pointed at his nose. His teeth seemed to large for his head, as two feet, needle sharp teeth hung from his top jaw. His body was that of a kangaroo, two small paws on the upper part of his body, and two large paws at his lower body. Yet he jumped like a bunny.

"WhyhithereI'mtheBleRabbit. I'mgonnagowith!isn'tthatfun?" The Blue Rabbit said, extremely fast, as he bounced up and down with each word.

"Um... Yeah," Alice said.

"Now Rabbit, you know where to take them. And I expect you to stay with them. Have fun; don't forget my stuff. Bye!"

With that the Caterpillar took a long swift swig out of his flask. He blinked his large eyes and then fell to the ground, snoring loudly. His massive body fell to the ground.

Nny gulped at the sight of deformed rabbit hopping up and down in front of him. Alice heard him and hoped that this would get him to shut up for a while. They walked down the path way, and listened to the Blue Rabbit talk, and talk, and talk. He talked really fast and was beginning to annoy Nny, and Alice. The more the rabbit talked the less time Alice had to ask her questions, and the more time it gave Nny to think of murder plots.

Then Blue Rabbit stopped talking. His sudden silence startled Nny, and he turned and saw that the Rabbit was sniffing around the bushes. Nny got closer to the bushes and he heard the sound of flapping wings. He looked above him and saw, huge snakes with large leathery bat wings. Nny gulped. He had no idea what these things were, and judging at the fact that they were trying to kill them, they were more than likely bad.

Alice was already on her feet; she had killed five already. Nny threw his spear at two. The spear pierced the heart both snake-bats. They spiraled toward the ground, each emitting one loud shrill squeak, before they shriveled and died. The ground of which they laid on, was now a complete and total hole.

"Ah, the blood is acidic. Interesting..." Nny said to himself.

That was when he noticed that someone was standing behind him. He turned and saw Alice glaring at him. She jerked her thump at the four large holes that were burnt into the ground.

"What? So you killed some. Um, why are you glaring at me. I'll just go over here...."

Alice spoke in a cold voice that stopped Nny in mid step. "You could have helped me. Instead you just looked at the blood of the stupid thing. I really want to kill you. Very badly.."

"Hey, you can't hurt me! HA, you need me alive so you can go back to earth!" Nny said as he slowly walked backwards, he tripped over his feet, and fell on his feet.

The Blue Rabbit who was watching this fight with great interest, saw that Nny was about to fall on him and jumped out of the way. Nny fell to the ground with a loud thump. Alice jumped as she saw him fall. Quickly she straddled him so he couldn't move. She took her hand and balled it into a fist; she punched him in the nose.

Feeling what she had done was enough (and a stress reliever) she got off of him. Nny looked at her in shock. No one ever did that to Nny, and they certainly would not get away with it. He looked at her turned back. Slowly he rose to his feet; he ran at her, spear in hand. She moved quickly and tripped him. Once again Nny fell, this time on his face. He rolled over; just as he did Alice's shoe came into contact with his 'friend'.

Nny began to writhes on the floor, moaning in agony. His hands cupped the sore area, and he spoke in a high voice, sounding remarkably like a little girl.

"I'll get you!!! I repeat I will get you!!"

Alice paid his threats no attention. Because she was tired of holding the chain of teeth, she there them at Nny once more. The teeth clamed on to his hair (again), much to his annoyance. The Blue Rabbit looked between Alice and Nny. Then he began to sing.

"ALICE AND NNY SITTING IN A TREE

K-I-S-S-I-N-G,

FIRST COMES LOVE THEN COMES MARR-hmpgh!"

Nny's hand clamped over the Rabbit's large annoying mouth. The Rabbit started to struggle, and then bite into Nny's hand. Nny's hand began to bleed, and this annoyed Nny even more. He raised his trust worthy butchers knife and lifted the Rabbit by the ears in to the air.

Carefully he put the knife at the rabbit's throat.

"If you ever, and I mean ever sing that song about me again, I will cut you into a dozen pieces and place your head on a sharpened stick. You understand?"

The rabbit nodded.

"Good."

Nny released the rabbit. The Rabbit ran to where Alice stood waiting for Nny. The two started to walk together as the rabbit bounded ahead, trying to give him enough distance from the two crazy people, he was journeying with.

"Now I see why Caterpillar was so anxious to get rid of the Blue Rabbit," Alice said.

"Because he's annoying, and more then likely going to get us into trouble?"

"Exactly."

They continued to walk down the path, a comfortable silence between them. The rabbit stopped at a small door, that four giant mushrooms blocked. They bared the sharp teeth that they had. Blue Rabbit held up a paw.

"Icomeinpeace.I'mhereonamission,withmytwoassociates."

The mushrooms understood him. They allowed Nny and Alice to pass. The blue Rabbit hopped in behind them. Nny stared in awe as the seven foot tall grass hung over their heads, and tall mounds of dirt lay in either direction.

To think that they haven't even shrunk.

The Blue Rabbit ran over to the first mound of dirt, and disappeared. Nny and Alice followed. Inside held two more new toys and several gold crowned jewels. Alice reached over to grab one, but Nny slapped her hand away.

"This is too easy. Way too easy. Stop and think. Why would this be easy?"

"Um, because this could really be a trap that involves the Mad Hatter?"

"Yes."

The mound of dirt started top shake. Everyone looked around startled. The mound had moved yet, everything was still in the exact position that it was before. A loud gurgling sound was heard and a large bubble appeared on the ground.

Nny groaned, "We've been eaten."
