"DAMN IT ALL!!!"

Asuka-chan in Wonderland

Chapter 2: Lake of Tears

Asuka screamed as she began to grow larger. "I'm really starting to despise this damn thing!"

Fortunately, she soon stopped growing. However, she was about ten times her average size, and her head was getting really cramped from having so little room to fit in. Trying to recall what her teacher said from her anger management class Misato forced her to take, Asuka took a deep breath. It did very little to sooth her fury. She tried to count to ten. It didn't work. Feeling very frustrated, she was about to squash the little glass table and everything on it when something flew under her nose. It was a bee. Suddenly, Asuka began to sneeze violently. "DAMN! I'm allergic to bees. Achoo!"

The dumb bee didn't go away for ten minutes, but Asuka could do little about it. Her allergies extended to squeezing a ton of tears from her eyes. Soon, a miniature lake had formed around her feet. It was about six inches deep. Finally, the fit eased up a little. Taking advantage of the lull, Asuka quickly caught the bee. Grinning evilly, she pulled off its wings and squashed it. Throwing it away behind her, she saw someone running at her feet. It was none other than bunny-girl Rei.

Now, Rei had in one hand a pair of gloves. In the other, she held a huge Japanese style fan. Asuka cursed under her breath, and then shouted, "Hey, Wondergirl! What the hell do you think you're doing anyways?!"

Rei coolly turned her head and looked at her. She then said in her flat voice, "Oh, the Duchess, the Duchess, won't he be upset if I keep him waiting."

Asuka was confused by her words, but quickly regained herself. About to retort angrily, she was a bit disoriented when Rei began to hop away. "Hey! Aren't you going to help me out of this mess doll?!"

Rei turned again and threw her big fan at Asuka. Catching it, Asuka was about to ask if the doll was insulting her, but discovered that the First Child was no longer there. Shrugging, she began to fan herself. To her intense surprise, she was suddenly shrinking at a rapid rate. As the ground quickly approached, she pinpointed the problem to the fan and dropped it. Not an instance too soon, as she was barely four inches tall. Asuka found herself submerged in water, and realized that she was in the lake of tears. Cursing the damn bee soundly in German, she fought her way to the surface. She swam about for awhile, and soon encountered a penguin. Namely, the penguin called Pen-Pen. "Pen-Pen, what are you doing here?!" Asuka exclaimed not really expecting the penguin to answer.

To her dismay, the penguin answered quite clearly, "Swimming."

Asuka asked, curious, "Why?"

"Because if I didn't I'd drown." Pen-Pen replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Shouldn't you be in Misato's house?"

"It was too boring. Besides, she's in there with Kaji right now."

"WHAT?! SO THAT'S WHY SHE WAS SO READY TO SEND US TO THAT TUTOR, THE BITCH!" Asuka ranted.

"Whatever." Pen-Pen replied as he swam away.

Asuka looked at his disappearing form for a moment, and then continued to swim toward what she hoped was the shoreline. She didn't think she was in the large hall of doors anymore. "Ah well. Who gives a shit about that stupid little door and that dumb garden anyways?" She reached the shore and set about drying herself. She looked up and found an odd assortment of people arranged in front of her.

To Be Continued…

Author's Note: How was it? It wasn't as funny as my DL Chronicles in a Nutshell, not as serious as Rain, nor was it very long. Forgive me, but I didn't have a whole lot of time to type this up. Yes, I meant for the Duchess to be a he. I plan on having the Evangelion cast play the characters of Alice in Wonderland. Rei is just the beginning. Don't worry, Shinji will come in soon enough. Sorry about taking so long to update, but I was buried under my piles of work and other fics. Three more reviews continue the story! Not to be mean or anything, I just don't want to waste my time. Please R&R!
