Chapter 5: Wonderland

Hello peoples! I'm really tired today, so don't bug me if this chapter stinks. Just so you know, Steph is NOT based on Tomoyo from CCS. My friend really does act like that... That's what scares me...

"So this is your world?" Irvine stared around. "Doesn't look too different from Traverse Town and Spira!"

"What do you think of my room, Maria?" Selena smiled.

Maria shook her head. "Don't know." She sat down on the bed. "I can't see."

"What do you mean 'can't see'?"

"Just what I said. I was born blind."

Tiffany frowned. "You've never seen anything?"

"No, but I have excellent hearing. I really don't need to see."

Irvine nodded. "Whatever sis. Do you live alone here Selena?"

"No! I think Mom's out shopping though." Selena grinned. "Since she's gone, who wants candy?"

"I do!" Irvine and Maria yelled at the same time.

"Oh! Selena! You're back! I thought you'd be gone longer. I have cake downstairs if you want any... Well, well. Who do we have here?" Selena's Mom walked into the room.

"My name is Maria, and this is my brother Irvine." She did her little bow thing.

"Mike... Isn't that bow from Final Fantasy 10? Since when was that in Kingdom Hearts?"

"Since Spira was destroyed. The plots changed a little..." Mike ran out of the room. "Oh boy! It's chocolate cake!"

"Don't eat all of it!" Rachel yelled.

"What's Kingdom Hearts?" Maria asked.

"It's a video game in this world." Riku sighed. "It's the dimension we're all from."

"Really?" Irvine grinned. "Any other video games? I wanna see 'em!"

Stephanie grinned. "Mrs. Pigoni, can I borrow your sewing machine? I wanna make a costume for Selena!"

"Go ahead. Just don't overdo it."

"Yes!" She ran off.

"Anyone else want cake before Mike wolfs it all down?"

Everyone nodded and went down to eat. After they finished, they left a piece for Steph.

"Selena! I have an outfit for you to try on!" Steph ran down carrying a strange costume.

"Do I really have to wear it?" Selena took it anyway and went upstairs. She walked down a few minutes later in the strange dress. It looked like a pink version of Alice's clothes with a flower charm pinned to the bow in the back. She had a pink ribbon in her hair with the bow dangling to one side. She had pink gloves with a water lily patch on one the tops of both. "Uh... Any reason behind this thing?"

"Yes! You need to have that for Wonderland!"

"I think I look weirder than the Cheshire Cat..."

"Speaking of that riddle-brained cat, can I kill him?" Mike asked.

"Alright, but don't do it in front of us." Selena sighed. "Are we going to leave for Wonderland yet?"

Steph grabbed her camcorder. "Alright!"

Selena just shook her head and they went back to the game.

"Shouldn't we be in Wonderland?" Tiffany asked.

"We're back to where we left!" Ame thought for a minute. "Got dibs on flying the Gummi!"

"No! No, No, No, No, NO!!!!!" Jiminy yelled. "Mike, would you fly it?"

"No problem." Mike smirked.

They took off. After an hour of Jiminy crying on the ship, they were falling in the endless hole that led to Wonderland. "This it?" Irvine glared around the place. "A little house?"

"You'll see." Selena smiled.

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! Oh my! Hello! Goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! Oh the queen! She'll have my head for sure!" The rabbit ran by.

"This queen doesn't sound too nice..." Maria sighed.

"She's not." Ame grinned. "I can't wait to get rid of her!"

"We can't, or she might get mad and chop all of our heads off." Tiffany sighed. "Use your head, Ame!"

Stephanie was already recording. "Good! I got the rabbit!" She said, turning it off.

"Whatever." Riku turned for the doors. "Let's just go." He opened on door. "Huh?!"

"There's more that one door..." Irvine opened the next one. "What the?!"

"There's another one?" Maria opened the last door. "I think I got it."

They all walked through and watched the rabbit run into a smaller doorway. "How'd he get so small?" Riku knelt down.

"No, no, you're simply too big!" The doorknob answered.

"It talked!" Irvine jumped.

"What did?" Maria glanced around, even though she couldn't see.

"Ugh... Why'd you make such a racket? You woke me up!"

"Good morning!" Rachel smiled.

"Good night! I need more sleep." The doorknob closed its eyes.

"Wait! How do we grow small?!" Irvine yelled.

"Try the bottle, over there."

Selena walked over to the new table. "Mike! Push the bed aside, ok?" She drank the potion.

"Wait! It could be poisonous!" Riku yelled.

"It's not." Mike pushed the bed away and the rest of them drank the potion.

"We're so tiny!" Riku yelled.

"I didn't think Irvine could get any shorter." Ame teased.

"Shut up!" Irvine jumped off of the table and Red Nocturne appeared. "What the?!"

"Blizzard!" Tiffany cast the spell. "Hey! It worked!"

"Don't you have to earn the spells?" Rachel asked.

"I guess it's different. Let me try!" Selena pointed the Angelblade at the Heartless. "Blizzard" Nothing happened.

"Ha ha! You have to learn the spells!" Mike slashed a Heartless in half.

After all of the monsters were beaten, they walked into the Queen's Castle. "Court is now in session!" The rabbit yelled. "The Queen of Hearts presiding!"

"This is the culprit! There's no doubt about it!" The Queen shouted.

"I'm on trial? But why?" Alice asked.

"Haven't you anything to say in your defense?"

"Of course! I've done nothing wrong!" Alice folded her arms. "You may be queen, but that doesn't give you the right to be so... So mean!"

"What?! You've been proven guilty for assault and attempted theft of my heart!"

"Hey!" Selena ran in.

"Who are you?!" The Queen roared with laughter. "And what's with that outfit?"

"Um... Alice is innocent!" Selena dodged the clothes question. "We know who the real culprit is!"

"Yeah! It's the Heart-" Irvine covered his mouth and turned it into a cough.

"Anyway, she's not the one you're looking for." Selena nodded.

"Nonsense! Have you any proof?" The Queen asked.

"Uh... No..."

The cards threw Alice into the birdcage. "Let me out!" She cried.

"If you want to prove the girl's innocence, bring me some evidence." The Queen smiled. "Gather as much or as little as you please."

Selena nodded. "Mike! Wait here and make sure Kuro doesn't show up, got it?"

"Hey! I wanna come to!" Mike growled. "I wanna fight!"

"I have an idea." Ame walked over and whispered in his ear. "You can kill the Cheshire Cat later."

They all walked into the Lotus Forest.

TBC!!!!!!
Sorry, gotta end here for now. I'm sure your asking 'If Maria's blind, how'd she know she landed on a boy?' The answer: She heard him yell when they landed on him. I know you want to know what Ame said to Mike, but that's a secret. I can tell you this much: It's important! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Well, see you later peoples!
