Chapter 3
"What's that noise?" Fred asked, they were walking deeper and deeper into the woods when they began to hear a whistling noise.
"It's the Mad Hatter's Tea Party!" Daphne exclaimed, and she ran towards the sound, "Wait!" Fred called as he followed her.
They came to a little white gate, and the whistling got louder, and they heard singing. "This is a very musical…place." Fred muttered.
Daphne pushed open the gate and they stepped into what looked like a garden. They walked along the little garden path to the sound of the singing and whistling, and in the distance, they saw a long table, which people were sitting at.
"No way, it can't be!" Fred exclaimed, and Daphne's eyes widened when she saw who was sitting around the table; Shaggy and Scooby-Doo!
"Shaggy!" Fred exclaimed, "Scooby!"
"Red? Raphne?" Scooby asked.
"Fred! Daphne!" Shaggy exclaimed, "Why am I wearing this?"
Shaggy stood up from the table, and Daphne and Fred looked at his strange outfit; he was wearing a purple top hat which had brown patches sewn into it. He wore a scruffy purple jacket with different coloured patches sewn onto it, and he worse matching corduroy trousers. Under his jacket, he wore a green waist coat and a white shirt.
Scooby was wearing a red waist coat under a red jacket.
"Where the hell are, we guys?" Shaggy asked. "You wouldn't believe us if we told you, Shag." Fred replied.
"Like, I told you we were in Wonderland, Scooby!" Shaggy exclaimed; Scooby growled in annoyance.
"Daphne thought this was a dream, but now we're thinking that it has something to do with the jewel thief." Fred said. "Like, of course it does, Fred. The crazy bright light and now we're inside this acid trip of a world." Shaggy replied, "Like, what is up with this cup?"
He held up a teacup, but it was broken in half, "It's half a cup, Shaggy." Daphne informed.
"Uh-hu." Scooby muttered.
"How the hell do we get out of here?" Shaggy asked. "We have to finish the rest of the story, I'm sure it'll take us home." Daphne replied.
"The rest of the story?" Shaggy asked. "Yeah, so what happens next, Daph?" Fred asked.
"The White Rabbit should be here soon, and then we'll follow him to the Red Queen. And then she'll chase us through the woods and Cheshire Cat will take us home." Daphne explained.
"Ree-hee-hee!" Scooby laughed.
"Right, ok?" Shaggy muttered.
Scooby laughed again, before he threw at teacup at Shaggy.
"Scooby! Dude! What the hell?" Shaggy exclaimed. "Rorry, Raggy." Scooby replied. Shaggy picked up a jam tart and threw it at Scooby.
Fred looked at Daphne, she shrugged and said, "In the movie, the March Hare throws teacups around the table."
"Oddly, that makes sense." Fred replied.
"Sshh!" Daphne hissed, "What's that noise?"
Shaggy and Scooby stopped throwing food and teacups at each other, and they heard a faint sound.
It was a tapping, and it was close.
"It's coming from in here!" Fred exclaimed and he pulled the lid off a teapot, "Finally!" A familiar voice exclaimed.
"Velma?" The gang asked.
The was the size Daphne had been when she drank from the bottle back by the talking door. Velma was trying to pull herself out of the teapot, but she kept falling.
Scooby stuck his hand inside it and pulled her out, "Thanks, Scooby." Velma said, "What the hell am I wearing? It doesn't matter, I heard your conversation, and strangely, I believe you. If we find the end of this story, we can find our way home."
"Ok, so-"
"I'm late! I'm late! No time to say 'hello', goodbye! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" The White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat, ran along the garden path and jumped over the hedge.
"Happy Un-Birthday, White Rabbit!" Shaggy exclaimed.
"Thank you!" The White Rabbit called.
"Guys, come on!" Daphne exclaimed, she and Fred began pursuit of the White Rabbit. Shaggy gently grabbed Velma and put her inside his pocket, and he and Scooby followed Fred and Daphne.
They ran through the woods, and eventually stumbled upon a sign that read, This Way to the Red Queen.
They finally came out of the woods and running through a maze.
"Singing?" Shaggy asked. "This way." Daphne said, and she led the gang to the singing, it didn't take them long to find it.
Four cards, were dancing around trees, leaving a trail of red paint behind them, and they were singing.
The gang crept out from the behind the hedge and watch the card men, dance and sing;
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
We dare not stop
Or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread
We're painting the roses red
We're painting the roses red
"Why are they painting the roses red?" Fred asked.
"We're painting the roses red." The Three of Hearts said. "Because we accidentally planted white roses." Said the Two of Hearts. "And the Queen she liked them red." Sang the Ace.
"So, we're painting the roses red!" Sang the Jack of Hearts.
And many a tear we shed
Because we know
They'll cease to grow
In fact, they'll soon be dead
"Can't the Queen just deal with white roses?" Velma asked, and all the cards gasped.
"Absolutely not!" Exclaimed the Three.
"Why not?" Velma asked.
She'd raise a fuss
And each of us
Would quickly loose his head
Since this is the part, we dread
We're painting the roses red!
THUMP-THUMP-THUMP
"She's coming!" Screamed the Jack, and the cards ran around frantically, trying to hide the paint tins.
"Zoinks!" Shaggy exclaimed.
"So, Daphne. What's this Queen like?" Fred asked.
