A/N: This is one of my first fanfictions. I really hope that everyone enjoys it, and I am always up for criticism. This is based on what if not just one person entered Wonderland, but multiple people did. It talks about what happens when they discover how Wonderland works, and change the rules. Please, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I only take credit for the five children and the characters they become. I don't take any credit for the original characters, including the storyteller. He he. Extra points if you guess who he is. Anyways, On to the story!

Prologue:

Ah, so you are interested in the tales of Wonderland, even after our beloved Alice left. Yes, we've had some interesting stories in Wonderland, but none as much so as the Five of Shifts. You see, the Queen of Wonderland chooses who comes to Wonderland and where they are led. However, what would happen if children went there whether her highness wanted them or not?

As you might have guessed, I am a storyteller of Wonderland and I have seen every child ever to enter this mystical realm. And as I have said, the Five of Shifts was bizarre. It changed how Wonderland looked, felt, and even worked. But let us not get ahead of ourselves. We start in a small town, just a couple hours from London called Kingsburg.

Chapter 1:

The Door Opens

Seconds seemed like hours as Jessie Sparlin counted down till the final bell rang and he could get out of this special kind of hell called school. He watched the clock like it would tell him all the answers to the world, and didn't even notice when his teacher asked him a question.

"Mr. Sparlin? Mr. Sparlin," his teacher, Mrs. Johann, asked, trying to attract his attention. She was a stout woman with a voice that would make a sailor follow correct etiquette. She was one of those people who you would hate to meet on a bad day, yet you never truly knew the difference between a good one and a bad one.

Jessie snapped awake as though he had been awoken from a deep sleep. "Huh?"

"Ah, so glad of you to join us back here on Earth Mr. Sparlin. Now then, would you mind answering my question," snapped Mrs. Johann. "I wanted to know how many errors there are in this sentence."

"Oh. Let me see… uhh," replied Jessie as he tried to find all the errors. He was an average boy, about five foot seven, brown hair and some of the greenest eyes you ever did see. Although he was a B average student, he was a very creative boy. He finally found what he thought was the last error and he smiled. "There are five Mrs. Johann."

"Well, it seems that you still have some sort of a head on your shoulders. I'm surprised there isn't any of it left in the clouds," she said in an annoyingly mocking way. Jessie always wondered how teachers learned how to get that one tone of voice. Maybe that's why teachers spent so much time in collage. He figured he would find out some day and continued to count down till the day was through. Ten, nine, eight, seven. Mrs. Johann said something about a big project due on Monday, but Jessie was almost free. Four, three, two, one. And there it was. The bell of freedom that sent kids all over the world running home for the weekend. It was the one thing that always made Jessie feel good. He hurried home and checked in before heading off towards the old fort where his friends and he would be meeting.

As Jessie neared the old fort, he could hear the voices of a few of his friends. It wasn't really a fort, it's just that's what they had always called it. It was a circle of chairs and sofas with a single coffee table in the middle. They had bought a bug shelter to keep the bugs and rodents out of their area a couple of months ago and it now had holes towards the top fixed with duct tape. But over all, it was a good place to hang out. Sure enough, when he got there, he found his friends sitting around. He walked over and kissed his girlfriend, Samantha Greer. She was a blonde bomb shell to beat all others. Although she didn't have the Barbie doll body, she had blue eyes like a clear sky and bouncy blonde curls. She was smart, but didn't like to show it. There was also Henry Skith, a tall red-head who was a jock nerd mix, Jacob Taril, an expert on fantasy and mythology and had the nerd look down, but with style, and Ashley Estes, a smart ass who always had some sort of a joke up her sleeve. Sure, they might not be perfect, but they all got along great. They made a promise to never split up, no matter what. And this day would be nothing new.

"Okay, anyone up for a good old story about these here woods," Jake asked with a sly smirk.

"Depends," Sam said glaring at him, "on how scary it is."

Jake smirked. "Me? Tell a scary story? I wouldn't dream of scaring you. Anyways, I want to tell you the story of the mysterious white rabbit. People say that if you are a kid about our age and you spend too much time in these woods, you'll go crazy. You'll start to see a strange white rabbit that's always late. He wears a vest and carries a pocket watch and speaks of the Queen of Hearts. He runs and runs and finally goes to a tree where a door appears that will take teens to a world where they are made into brain dead zombies."

"I just have two words for you Jacob. Bull shit," said Henry shaking his head. "I mean, who would honestly believe that a white rabbit would take you away to become a zombie? I mean really. Jake, I've heard some stupid crack pot stories from you, but this has to be the worst! Where did you come up with that one?"

"I don't know. I think it was in a dream. Oh well, I just wanted to share that before we got down to the real dirt. So, who's got the latest gossip," asked Jake with an evil grin.

"Well, I heard that Rebecca was going back out with Tommy even after he admitted to," Sam said quickly to change the subject. Just as in school, Jessie's mind drifted off and he wondered just what it would be like in that strange world Jake spoke of. What the Queen of Hearts might look like, what other strange beings would be there, and if there would be others there if he were ever sent there.

"What was that," cried Sam as there was a rustling in a bush a couple yards away. This was just enough to snap Jessie back down to Earth.

"Huh?"

"Jessie, please go see what it was," asked Sam as she made a sad puppy dog look.

"Fine. I'll be right back," Jessie said with a big sigh.

"Yeah Jessie. Be a big strong man and check out what that noise was for me," sneered Ashley sarcastically. She made a screwed up version of the puppy dog face and then laughed at him. Jessie was used to that though. Every time there was a strange noise or sound, Sam would get scared and ask him to check it out. As he neared the bush, he saw a set of rabbit ears and sighed.

"It's just a bunny! No need to be… alarmed," said Jessie slowly as he neared the rabbit. He could only stare in shock and fear as he found that the little white rabbit was talking to a pocket watch in his paw. How can this be, Jessie thought as he stared. It's the rabbit Jake told that story about. But it can't be real, can it?

"Hey Jessie! Did you get lost," asked Ashley with a slight snicker. Jessie merely raised his hand to give them the signal to shut up and come over there. As the neared, they too gained the same stare that Jessie had. And then, without warning, the rabbit ran off away from the five friends shrieking that he was late. It was a couple of seconds before an event more shocking then seeing the little guy occurred. Jessie started to chase after him. His friends called after him to stop, to come back, but he didn't listen. And after they found that that didn't work, they chased after him. But Jessie didn't really care. He wanted to see the world that Jake spoke of, and he wasn't really surprised when he saw a tree with a door right on the side of it. With out even thinking, Jessie ran right through the door, and started to fall down into a long, long tunnel.
