"On the road again! Can't wait to be on the road again!" sang Kira happily.

Yzak twitched. That song made no sense because they were in space. There were no roads in SPACE… were there?

"Are there roads in space?" asked Yzak.

Lacus waved off his question, saying, "Well of course there are, silly goose! Haven't you every heard of Milky Way?"

"GOOSE!" shrieked Athrun, spazing out for a second or two.

Yzak glared at Lacus and retorted, "The Milky Way is a galaxy. NOT a street."

Dearka, locked away in an iron cage near the back, called up, "Milky Way is too a road! Just like Cherry Lane! And Oak Boulevard!"

Yzak grumbled and sank into his seat. He was surrounded by idiots… for the most part.

Miguel was bored, so he bent over and looked under his seat. He spied a wrench. It looked heavy. Miguel had placed his banjo and shovel in the overhead compartment space, so his hands were free. He pulled the wrench out and held it in one hand. He guessed it was about five pounds. The hillbilly shrugged and threw the tool over his shoulder.

The wrench didn't go far. It stopped when it hit the person sitting directly behind him: Athrun.

"Eeekk! It's raining tools!" shrilled Athrun.

Kira looked at his friend and then looked around. "No… I'm afraid it's not raining anything… You're lying." Kira let out a gasp. "Oh gods! You're lying to me! I thought I was your best friend!" Tears started to run down Kira's face and he ran into the cockpit.

Kira walked up to Half-Feather Mwu and sniffled.

Mwu looked at Kira. "What's wrong kid?"

"My best-est friend lied to me!"

Mwu leaped up. "We can't have that! Which one is he!"

"He has blue hair," said Kira helpfully.

Half-Feather Mwu marched out of the cockpit and over to the passengers. He spotted a weird kid with blue hair. "Hey you! Why'd ya make that other kid cry, eh, SMURF?" yelled Mwu as he pointed at Athrun.

"Smurf…" sniggered Miguel.

Kira ran in and also pointed at Athrun while yelling for all to hear, "He lied to me! He's a bad friend! He should get a time-out!"

Yzak looked tiredly at Half-Feather Mwu before realizing that he was supposed to be the captain. Yzak stood up and screamed at Mwu, "Are you stupid, or something! Who the hell is driving this shuttle!"

Mwu stopped in the process of scolding Athrun and turned his head nonchalantly to Yzak, "Arrr, matey, no need to worry!"

When Half-Feather Mwu looked back at Athrun, he saw the smurf-boy was missing. "Runaway! We got a runaway! Call the guard dogs! ARR!"

Kira looked around the spaceship quizzically, "If Athrun ran away after we already took off, then he couldn't have gotten far…unless he's actually a woodchuck…and in that case the question wouldn't be where he is, but how much wood he could chuck if he couldn't chuck wood."

"AHHHH! Twisty words make Cagalli head hurt!" yelled out a manly voice. Cagalli was sitting in the back by Bug-man's cage but no one bothered to question how she suddenly appeared.

The not-so-random sound of barking and an old squeaky door opening was then heard.

The pirate, Mwu, rubbed his hands together in anticipation and smiled darkly, "They're heeeeeerrrre…"

Suddenly, the spaceship shook violently. The passengers who had their seatbelts on were safely secure, while Cagalli, Mwu, and the hammer (Yes, it's a passenger.) were tossed about like a salad.

Nicol's voice came on the intercom, "Sorry for the inconvenience, but we are traveling through an asteroid belt and I may have to take more evasive actions. Please return to your seat to prevent injury to yourself and/or others! This is my first time flying a ship! Thanks for understanding!"

Yzak smacked his forehead. He grabbed Half-Feather Mwu by the collar as the pirate was regaining his balance. "Why would you let a fifteen year old kid fly your spaceship!"

Mwu sighed and replied, "It seemed like the best decision at the moment. It was either that, arrr, or let the little mechanical bird drive. And I know my parrot can't because he has no thumbs!"

(The mechanical "parrot" is Birdy, if you didn't catch on.)

Yzak let go of Mwu's collar and hung his head. Everyone around him had serious problems which were completely warping their common sense…

He was knocked out of his moping when Half-Feather Mwu exclaimed, "Look! Here come me guard dogs!"

Yzak turned around and saw two figures emerge from a doorway he hadn't noticed before. These figures were walking upright like people though. In fact…. they were people!

Mwu jumped over to the 'guard dogs' and put an arm around each of their shoulders.

The 'guard dogs' were Murrae and Natarle. They were wearing helmets with floppy dog ears pasted on rather sloppily. And they each carried a big machine gun.

"Alright you two," Mwu said, "I have a mission for ya. I need you to find me a smurf. He goes by the alias of 'Athrun'."

With that said, Mwu walked down the newly discovered hallway from whence his guards had emerged.

Murrae and Natarle each looked around cluelessly, as they were unsure where to look for a smurf.

Then Natarle noticed the cage. She looked closer and screamed, "Oh my god! It's a BUG! KILL it! Squish IT! AHHHHHHHHH!"

Murrae ran to the cage, flung open the door, jumped in, and started bludgeoning Dearka with her machine gun.

Lacus jumped up and said, "STOP! That's my Bug-man! He's going to be in my freak show!"

Murrae stopped and eyed Lacus. "Hey… you're Lacus… THE Lacus! Oh! Can I have your autograph? Please…?" She dropped her gun and rushed over with a pad of paper and a pen, the bug-man forgotten.

Natarle, quite perturbed at Murrae sudden change of activity, stomped over and growled, "Well? Has the bug been squish'ed?"

Murrae was in the midst of showering Lacus with compliments, like any doting fan would, and didn't response to Natarle.

"Hoo hoo," came a new voice.

Everyone in the compartment turned to find the voice. All eyes landed on a man wearing a mask. This man was perched in a tree and the tree was magically growing from the floor of the spaceship.

"Wait a minute… aren't you Captain LeCruset!" yelled Yzak, obviously shocked.

The mask turned and faced Yzak. "No, no, dear boy. I gave up that name long ago. I am now the Cheshire Owl!"

"Hm… I wonder if Half-feather Mwu would settle for an owl instead of a smurf…" ponder Natarle while applying a bright layer of fresh magenta lipstick.

"No, no, no," chastised Lacus. "If you want to catch a creature, then call the expert! The Silent Avenger himself, Yzak!"

Yzak's blue eyes widened. "Since when did my super hero identity become known!"

In the back, Dearka the Bug-man snickered and waving his hands in the air, jumping from one foot to the other, "I did it! It was me! Ha, ha Yzak! The joke's on you!"

Eyes now smoldering with hatred and an urge to commit brutal murder, Yzak stood and growled, "You evil, dirt eating cockroach-fiend!"

Grabbing Miguel's shovel, Yzak was about to march back to severely mangle and crush Dearka when Lacus stood up and blocked his path.

"Now just wait one minute there, Silent Avenger. I need that Bug-man to bring the dough so I can afford to hire illegal immigrants to fill in the holes that the hillbilly Miguel dug! I'll make you a deal though… If you can capture and bring to me that smurf, Mr. Avenger, then we may be able to put into motion a most productive transaction."

The pink haired singer crossed her arms and smiled, knowing either way she would get a great new addition to her freak show.

"Hmm…" Yzak thought for a few moments until he said, "I'm not really sure…"

Nicol popped up beside him and said cheerily, "Yes, as the Silent Avenger's sidekick, Music-man, I will answer for him! Yzak agrees!"

"Great!" clapped Lacus.

Yzak turned slowly and looked at Nicol, "Now who's driving the ship?"

"Huh? Oh, that Murrae lady. She said she'd give me her helmet with the floppy dog ears if I let her take the controls. So I did!" replied Nicol. He held up the dog-ear helmet for everyone to admire and then plopped it onto his head.

Scratching his head, Yzak wondered aloud, "Where are we going to find Athrun the smurf?"

"Hoooooo…" hooted the Cheshire Owl. "I can tell you."

Yzak glared, "Then tell us!"

LeCruset disappeared all except for his silver mask, which now hung mysteriously in the air, "Athrun's gone through the tunnel. He's gone into Wonderland."

The hallway that Murrae and Natarle had originally come from was now overgrown with bushes and vines that had sprouted from the Cheshire Owl's tree. The tunnel did in fact look like a tunnel now.

"Let's go, Yzak!" cheered Nicol, pulling the Silent Avenger along.

The two stopped at the opening of the tunnel and peered in. There was only darkness before them.

"Woooo hooo!" cried out someone from behind them. Then Kira pushed Yzak and Nicol into the tunnel and jumped in after them, yelling, "This is gonna be an adventure!"

O.o; Yes, well, now I should have no problem coming up with ideas… shakes head "Athrun in Wonderland"… What will I think of next?

I don't own Alice in Wonderland, Gundam Seed, or any of the affiliated characters.
