Why did I get myself into this mess? This is such a stupid nightmare. It's all a dream. That's what it is.
I pinched myself on the arm.
"Oww…" I moaned and opened my eyes to find pairs of eyes staring gazing weirdly at me. I'm still here. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"Yep. Gone out of her head." A mini-Iru crossed her arms.
"Completely insane." A Yukari-flower head commented.
"WE'RE DOOMED!" A crazy rabbit pulled down his ears. He's the one to be lunatic, not me.
"That's funny… Usually I would wake up when I pinch myself." I muttered. "It always worked."
"Maybe it's because you're not dreaming, Rima-Chan?" Mini-Eru asked.
"I AM DREAMING! WHY AM I IN CANDY MOUNTAIN THEN?!"
"This isn't candy mountain… this is Underland, stupid." Yukari pointed out.
"WHY THE HELL AM I IN WONDERLAND?!"
"Because you are Rima, right?"
"Yeah, I am."
"And a very stubborn Rima, too." Mini-Miki dressed in a musketeer outfit crossed her arms.
"The question is: IS SHE THE RIGHT RIMA?!" Another lunatic rabbit exclaimed.
"What do you mean the right RIMA?!"
"Consult the wise caterpillar." Mini-Miki suggested.
We all looked at the caterpillar sitting on top of a giant mushroom stool. His head strangely resembled Nikaidou-sensei, which I thought was disturbing.
"Who are you?" He withdrew the cigarette from his mouth and blew circles into my face. I stepped back, coughing.
"WHAT KIND OF CATERPILLER SMOKES CIGARETTES?!" I fanned the smoke from my face.
"Answer my question: WHO ARE YOU??"
"Mashiro Rima," I grumbled.
"What's your purpose here?"
"I DON'T KNOW!" Nikaidou pushed the cigarette in between his lips with stubby hands as he ran through a scroll.
"Hmm… a stubborn personality… You are not fit to become a Rima yet." He observed.
"What are you talking about? I am Rima!" I yelled, frustrated.
"Go away! You're the wrong Rima!"
"THIS IS A DISASTER!" The crazy rabbit pulled his ears down again.
"It says that the real Rima would have a brave personality, she would go to the white Tsuntsun butterfly queen and then go to the red four-leaf clover queen and defeat her." Nikaidou said through puffs of toxic smoke.
"What?!" I shouted again.
"STUPID! YOU'RE THE WRONG RIMA! YOU ARE NO USE HERE!" he threw the scroll at my face, causing me to squeal and jump back. The scroll fell to the soft ground by my feet and I reluctantly picked it up.
"Now what do we do?" Musketeer-Miki asked.
We all froze when the piercing-cry of a harpy had echoed through the skies.
"THEY FOUND US!!"
"RUN!" We all scattered through the dense forest to flee from Saaya-harpy.
"OHOHOHOHOHOHO!!" She screeched as she swooped down and grabbed onto a struggling Iru and Eru.
"Help!"
"SAVE US!!"
"This is all a dream…" I muttered. "It's not real."
"It is real, sweetie!" Musketeer Miki exclaimed. "Look! Run away from those cards! NO, WATCH OUT!"
I turned around to see a black- leopard like creature with a tattoo of a red four-leaf clover attack me; uttering out a high-pitched yelp as I checked my left arm.
There was throbbing slash marks that oozed blood from the deep wounds. It looks like it's not a dream after all.
Covering my pulsing arm, I ran as fast as I could without stopping, into a dark forest with luminescent mushrooms while hyperventilating.
As I walked further into the forest, my breathing evened and I sat down on top of a tree trunk, exhausted.
Beside me, I swear I saw a fly sit on a glowing toadstool, ate a huge chunk and its butt started to glow.
I'm going to think twice about fireflies now.
After resting, Now walking in the really weird forest: WHERE THE HELL AM I?!
EriohvFJC;LDWJKR
I'M LOST.
Seriously, I really have no navigation whatsoever. And now I'm wandering to the middle of nowhere of this creepy forest with no sense of direction. I remember my crazy father telling me:
'Rima, if you do get lost…you know that I'm always here for you, right?'
'But daddy, how will I know??'
'I will always be right here.' He pointed to my chest. 'And I will help you navigate your way.'
'What if I'm in a mysterious place? Like a place where my dreams are in…? The one where I had to paint the roses and meet crazy rabbits and look at flies eat glowing mushrooms to make their tushies light up.'
'That's a different story.'
So much for flashback advice.
Wandering:
I'm hungry and I need food.
I'm in big need to eat something. I wish I was still at that party, gobbling up all that cupcakes and croissants. Not to mention the fancy-looking parfaits, tiramisu, sashimi and tempera Udon. (Although cupcakes and Japanese food doesn't really match at all)
But, I JUST HAD TO FALL IN THROUGH THAT STUPID HOLE, AND BE IN STUPID WONDERLAND, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF A STRANGE FOREST THAT'S SURROUNDED BY GLOWING MUSHROOMS!
"UUGGGHHHH!!" I groaned in hunger and frustration.
Did I mention that I get really cranky if I don't eat?
EkfhasKLFGJDNFLHUNGRYUIGHALREIGHA:
"You know that the scratch from a Black Lynx could spread throughout your body and petrify?"
I spun around, finding nothing but silver light creeping down through the cracks of the trees above. It must be my imagination. I recall that hunger can make people imagine things.
I continued to walk, when a strange human-cat with big eyes that strangely resembled midnight colored orbs appeared out of thin air.
Letting out a scared squeal, I took a step back and reflexively slapped the cat.
"Seriously, Ow." The cat rubbed his cheek with a blue striped paw.
"Sorry…" I mumbled. "I'm cranky."
"I lied. It really didn't hurt." The cat grinned widely. "Anyway… about your wound, let me take a look at it." He disappeared and appeared, examining my left arm.
I took another step back. This cat-dude is creepy.
"You do know that if I licked it, your wound would disappear?" he smirked.
"NO!" I had the sudden urge to slap him across his furry face or rip apart his thick tail that was swishing around my head.
"Fine." He sighed. "Let me at least wrap the wound," He disappeared and reappeared at the bottom of my dress, ripping a thin strip from the hem and tying it around my arm.
"T-Thanks." I replied.
"No problem!"
"D-do you…"
"Know how to get out of this forest? Of course I do. Are you Rima by any chance?"
"Uh… Yes?"
"You're much smaller than I thought." He smirked. "You're a real shrimp."
"Can you just-" A gurgling noise sounded off loudly and I wrapped my arms over my stomach to muffle the sound.
"Hungry?" I nodded.
"I'll take you there." He grinned, disappearing.
"FINALLY!" I exclaimed. "NOW I DON'T HAVE TO EAT GLOWING MUSHROOMS AND WORRY IF MY BUTT STARTS GLOWING!" I looked around. The atmosphere grew still, as if the cat had never existed.
Spazzing out:
HE DID NOT JUST DITCH ME. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY LYING!
I'LL GET LOST FOREVER IN THIS STUPID GLOWING FOREST AND EVENTUALLY STARVE TO DEATH!!
"Are you coming?" The cat appeared at the far end of the forest and I ran to catch up.
Out of the damn forest:
I followed the creepy cat until sunrise. He suddenly stopped and pointed to a little patch surrounded by trees.
I heard indistinct noises of clattering porcelain cups and shattering plates made of the same material. Various noises of insane laughter filled the air, followed by more shattering, plopping and clattering.
"Are you serious, cat?" I whispered.
"I have a name you know." He said flatly. "It's Cheshire. And yes, it's the only place where you can eat without getting caught here. Another safe place can be the white queen's castle which is miles away."
"Alright." My stomach growled again, and I ran down to the noise, not noticing that the Cheshire cat had disappeared.
There was a really long draped table, set with tea trays, porcelain plates, cake stands holding delicious looking cupcakes and biscuits, silver spoons, shattered plates on the floor and some carelessly on the edge of the table; threatening to fall.
Seated on the table was another mad bunny, a Kusu Kusu and a tall man who seemed to be sleeping. His feet were on top of the table and his arms were crossed over, his head covered by a white hat that was decorated with a single black silk ribbon; now ripping at the ends.
"Hey, hey, pass me the sugar cubes!" The mad bunny shouted over the table.
"Ah, OKAY!" Kusu Kusu (Still in chara form) took a sugar cube and tossed it over.
The sugar cube bounced on top of the bunny's head and he end up falling to the side, spilling his tea. Kusu Kusu giggled helplessly.
The man wearing the hat lifted his head, two golden orbs brightly shone as he pushed aside his side bangs that were hanging down from his face and yawned; outstretching his arms up.
"Good morning, Hatter!" Kusu Kusu smiled at the man; who smiled back.
"Morning!" He adjusted his hat and dropped his feet to the soft ground in a muffled thump! As he pushed in his chair and noticed my presence. "You came."
He stood up and walked on top of the table, knocking over several plates and tea trays without tripping and stepped down the table. The plates that were on the edge fell to the floor and shattered wildly.
"Rima-Chan, you finally came." The man's voice was in a glad whisper. "You're a bit smaller than I imagined. Like a Barbie doll." He used his hands to measure my height.
"Maybe it's because of the weird green liquid that I drank to shrink?" He raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. Anyway, you must be hungry." He smiled. "Since you sound like you're in a grouchy mood."
"Very. AUGH!" He took hold onto my arm and lifted me up, stepping back on the table; crashing plates and tea trays again as he glided his way to his seat and sat me on one that is closer to him (More like telephone books stacked on top of a chair).
"Here," The man pulled out a mini silver tea tray, that had a mini tea cup, a mini-tray with mini cakes and scones, and a mini-teapot complete with a small bowl of sugar cubes, and a separate milk pot.
"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?! WHY CANT YOU GIVE ME THE GROWING CAKE THINGIE OR SOMETHIN-MMPH!" The man put his finger over my face; muffling my screams.
"Shh…someone's coming. Drink this." He dug inside his white/purple/pale blue poncho and took out the green potion. Opening the cap, he shoved the potion in my mouth and I swallowed in big alarming gulps; removing the potion quickly before I could swallow even more (Someone should flavor it or something since the potion is revolting) and started to cough as I graduated from a Barbie doll to a further midget that was shrinking out of her clothes. The stupid hatter then picked me up; me in my no-longer fitting blue dress and shoved me inside a teapot; closing the top.
"Let me out!" I banged against the tea pot with my small fist. The hatter opened the top and whispered something really quick that came out as:
"Listen-please-be-quiet-for-a-couple-of-minutes, I'll-give-you-something-to-eat-if-you-do."
"What?" He was speaking too fast, it didn't sound Japanese.
"Shut up for now and I'll give you food." Food… I could feel my tongue tingle with the thought of the wonderful cupcakes and biscuits.
I made a 'zipper over the mouth sign' with my fingers and he closed the top again.
Stuck inside a tea pot:
"Hello there!"
"Still a bit loony, HATTER?" A deep male voice spat and the hatter forced a laugh in response.
"Care for a drink?"
"No. We're looking for Rima. Have you seen her?" There was a pregnant silence.
"I don't exactly know anything about her. We were just conjuring up a song of the lovely red four-leaf clover queen…how does it go again?" He began to sing something that had a melody similar to Twinkle, Twinkle little star. "Twinkle Twinkle Four-leaf queen…"
The rest of the lyrics died down in mumbles and the male impatiently banged a fist against the table.
"I ASKED FOR RIMA, YOU LOONATICS!"
"But we really don't know," The hatter replied calmly.
"Alright," he chuckled darkly as a shatter was heard. "All of you are insane."
"Why, thank you!" The rabbit exclaimed as he threw a tea cup and laughed crazily as he did so. I listened carefully to see if the man would get hit but instead, the tea cup smashed on the hard soil so it seemed that the man had ducked just in time.
When the footsteps were distant, the hatter removed the top of the tea pot and grabbed onto my big dress.
"HEY!" I yelped and he quickly closed the tea pot again.
"Sorry. I forgot," He opened a crack and pulled the blue fabric from the teapot and within seconds, he slipped the dress back to me; in my size. "Try this,"
I pulled the dress over my head, realizing that the dress had fit perfectly. His fingers tapped the porcelain teapot.
"Are you done?"
"Yeah," He opened the pot one last time and pulled me out of the condemned space.
"Thank you, now can I have some food?"
"Sure! I'll get something a bit bigger for you."
And by a bit bigger, he means an entire life-sized cupcake. He placed the monstrous beauty in front of me and I stared at the edible inanimate object in front of me as I took in its appearance.
The enormous cupcake was had a vanilla cake base with a thick layer of a shimmering silver mass topped with rainbow sprinkles in the shape of a butterfly and a small cherry in the middle.
Licking my lips, I delved in.
HEAVEN AT LAST:
I finished the cupcake with much satisfaction and my empty stomach is now filled. The hatter watched with fascination as I tried to clean my sticky hands and mouth.
"Did you enjoy it?" I nodded. "The cupcake is from the white Tsuntsun butterfly queen's kingdom, which reminds me that we should go there right away."
"Why?" I asked. "I mean- the scroll says that I have to go to her but why?" The crazy rabbit lowered his laughs into nervous chuckles and Kusu Kusu worriedly turned to the hatter whose head was lowered to the ground.
"Years ago, I used to be the hatter for the White Tsuntsun butterfly queen. During that era of when she reined, another queen; her distant sister had shown up. When the Tsuntsun queen had questioned the red four-leaf clover queen of her business, the red queen had replied that she wanted to-"
"She wanted to- what?" He lifted his head smiling.
"She wanted to marry her brother."
"It doesn't really sound like a bad idea."
"-Of course, the Tsuntsun queen objected to her demand. She valued her brother too much. And so, the very angry red four-lead clover queen decides to execute any living creature who tries to prevent her from marrying the Tsuntsun queen's brother. The prophecy is that Rima would appear and set matters between the two queens. And in order to do that Rima-Chan, you must defeat her."
"M-me…defeat the red queen?" I stammered. "How am I supposed to do that?" He ignored me as he stood up, and outstretched a hand so that I could climb on.
"That's why we are going to see the Tsuntsun queen!" He moved his hand to his shoulder and I slowly sat down as he began to walk out of the pleasant scenery and into the glowing mushroom forest.
"Kusu Kusu is tagging along too!" Kusu Kusu had floated by me, eager to hear my response. However, the hatter had eyed her and whispered something to her.
"Watch the mad rabbit while I'm gone. I'm sure that you're the only one that is not lunatic. And besides, they are going to come in a while!"
"But, but…Hatter! Kusu Kusu thought…" The hatter shook his head, smiling.
"They escaped,"
"T-they…. YAY! Okay! Bye Rima! Bye Hatter!" Kusu kusu threw her arms up in the air as she flew back to the table. The hatter chuckled softly as he spun around and kept on walking.
Walking, or at least that's what the hatter's doing:
"Nee, what was Kusu Kusu talking about? What are you talking to her about?" I asked.
"In attempt to convince her sister to surrender her brother, she had done horrible things. She raided the queen's towns, and captured her people as prisoners. Kusu Kusu's twin sister is currently prisoner in her kingdom as well as two distant cousins of another family. It's complicated. But recently, they have managed to escape."
"I see,"
Walking further, I don't know where we are:
"Hatter, how much longer?"
"Almost there,"
"You said that a moment ago." I retorted.
"Perhaps if you don't bring up the subject…" He suddenly froze; sliding his back onto a tree.
"What's wrong?"
"They found us." The yellow orbs enlarged as he began to run through the forest, his long hair fluttering with the wind and his belt chains clinking tiny silver noises.
"HATTER! I'M SLIPPING!" He slowed his running as he was by a lake's edge.
"Sorry," he gasped. "I'm afraid I will have to let you go. Hold on to my hat." I grabbed fistfuls of his violet side bangs as I climbed up his hat and held on to the white ribbon.
"Find the white Tsuntsun queen, and save the kingdom!" he cried as he tossed the hat like a Frisbee before he was accompanied by an army of red cards. The hat spun through the lake in dizzying spirals and my vision is a blur.
Spinning around and around:
"IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!" I sang on top of my lungs as I spun. Apparently, I stopped singing when I felt myself about to regurgitate the cupcake I had filled myself with.
And I'm growing nauseous. UGHH….
The hat is landing!
The hat landing with a crash and I flew out, hitting the hard marble pavement. This caused my stomach to clench into a hard knot and I forced myself to get up; covering my mouth as I ran to the nearest patch of tall grass.
A simple resolution:
I have come to three conclusions after vomiting.
First: I had cursed in my head a million times while vomiting and swore that I would never go on anything spiraling, even if it was to twirl around in circles.
Second: I will forever not trust in mystical, revolting, green potions that would shrink you into the size of a peanut (or a pea) because I thought that giant cupcakes would mean the end of world hunger but apparently not. It causes a bad case of indigestion, especially when you spin out of control. (And trust me; it's not the prettiest sight you would see when you realize that you are vomiting.)
And third: I believe that the hat had landed in front of a tall white castle with shining, colorful butterfly wings.
In the distance:
I see a woman with pale yellow hair that hung in two curled pigtails wearing a lacy white dress; whispering to the flying butterflies.
That MUST BE THE TSUNTSUN QUEEN!
Approaching the queen:
I cautiously walked over to the giant queen, wondering how I would get the queen's attention.
Maybe a blood-curdling scream?
Perhaps a sharp kick on her foot?
Although they were all good ideas, I decided to ride a butterfly.
Butterfly-catching game begins!
Trying to catch a butterfly is hard work when you're a small midget.
In the end, I learned to catch butterflies by disguising myself as a flower (Which is the hardest thing I've ever done.) And climbing on top of them before they fly away.
Butterfly-catching game ends!
But my work finally paid off and I managed to fly near the queen's face.
She had tons of sparkle blush on her cheeks and her lips were painted in shimmering pale pink gloss. She strangely looked like Utau.
"Q-queen Tsuntsun?"
"What do you wan- oh… you finally came." I see that she isn't a welcoming character. "It's been a while,"
"Yes," I lied. "I heard that you are in trouble?"
"Apparently," she let out a sigh as she outstretched her hand. "I'll tell you all about it."
"Just don't squish me, and while you're at it…can you change me back?"
"Alright."
Inside the really fancy castle:
She took me to a kitchen where she sat me by a thick potion book as she began to sprinkle powders, and pour liquids into a small ice-cream cone like metal pot.
"The red queen wants my brother, although she likes another man. It's unforgiving, isn't it?"
"I…guess? Why don't you want him to go to her?"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HE'S THE MOST ATTRACTING MAN IN THIS WHOLE WORLD! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL THAT I WOULD GIVE MY ONII-CHAN TO HER!" She spat, while forcefully tossing an herb that strangely resembled a cat's head and started to mix the contents.
The liquid bubbled and gradually reduced to a clear sugar like syrup. The queen picked up a green mochi and dipped it in the syrup; the mochi turning into a pale white and began to shimmer. She held the cake to my mouth.
"Eat this," her temper lowered as she watched me take a bite.
The soft chewy cake had stretched my limbs and I proceeded to grow until my small dress had ripped into pieces and I stopped in my original height, naked.
"Much better?"
"Maybe…some…clothes?" I squeaked, trying to cover as much as I could.
At the balcony:
"Thank you," I was dressed in a lacy pale pink and white dress that stopped at my knees.
"You're welcome. I apologize about my behavior before. I snap when people criticize my brother."
"It's okay. Is he here?"
"Yes," She sighed contently. "He's sleeping, and now that you have arrived, I believe that it is time for my sister and I to meet once again."
"WHAT?! DO I REALLY HAVE TO DEFEAT THE RED QUEEN?!" She looked at me with a death glare.
"I will do as you say." I mumbled under my breath. I don't like this one bit.
The next morning:
The queen ordered an army of butterfly fairies to travel with her and worse of all; I was dressed as if I was getting married or something. And she demanded me to ride on a horse and we traveled to the Red four-leaf clover queen's kingdom.
Of course she was joyfully speaking out to a knight who was walking close by her horse.
"When you get there, please don't leave me. You know that I love you the most."
I thought she loved her brother. How strange.
At the Red queen's castle:
Unlike the white queen, the red queen's castle was shaped like a four leaf clover, each with huge red rubies for each of the leaves.
Ahead, we could see an army of red cards and two horses that whinnied in the distance.
One horse sat a red knight whose face was covered by red metal and another horse sat a woman with pink shoulder length hair and yellow eyes. She was wearing a long dress of crimson red and had a red clover amulet necklace hanging from her neck. Behind her, was the hatter in chains.
Both queens from both sides approached each other.
"Hello sister."
"Hi." Each of them spat a cold answer at each other.
"I see that you have finally arrived." The red queen glanced over the white queen's shoulder casting a cold glare at me. "Are you willing to surrender your brother?"
"I will never surrender." The white queen spoke, narrowing her eyes.
"THEN IT SHALL BE WAR!" the red queen screeched and the red cards echoed a battle cry.
"HOLD ON!" a loud voice echoed back, quieting the battle cry. Realizing that it was my voice that had screamed, I got off my horse and walked over to the red queen.
"Is it really necessary to fight for love? I mean, what happens if he doesn't love you?" The red queen turned her head away, to hide her red face that matched the shade of red.
"H-he…seduced me."
"WHAT?!" Angry marks appeared on the white queen's head as she shifted her glare at the knight beside her. The knight removed his silver helmet, revealing a man with deep midnight eyes and matching hair. He stared back, a smug smile appearing on his face.
"Why?" Her voice rose a squeaky octave. "I thought you loved me."
"Incest isn't really necessary for brother-sister love. You know that I belong to the red queen now." The white queen's pale face darkened into a shade of red. For a moment, I thought that the white queen was the red queen's twin sister.
"H-how could you?!" She whined, her voice came out like a lovey-dovey girlfriend. "YOU SEDUCED MY SISTER?! ISN'T THAT ALSO INCEST AS WELL?!"
"But the red and white kingdoms are distant sisters." He said flatly, disappearing in thin air and appearing by the red queen's side, tackling her down her horse and kissing her. "We're not actually related."
Flushed, the white queen watched the scene. I couldn't help but gape at it also. All this time, Cheshire was the white queen's brother?
"Maybe… it's right to let him go." The red knight stepped down his horse, approaching the queen as he removed his helmet. The white queen widened her eyes in shock. The red knight revealed a man with piercing green eyes and sandy brown hair. There was a silver earring on his right ear as he tucked a strand back his ear and smiled at the queen.
"Perhaps, you're…right," The white queen flushed as she returned the smile as the red knight dropped his helmet to the ground and pressed his lips against hers. She happily returned the kiss and eventually, we were watching the two queens kissing their 'significant other'.
"EXCUSE ME! SAVE THE MAKING OUT FOR LATER! SO WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF ME COMING HERE!?" I shouted, crossing my arms.
"Oh, the purpose? Didn't you consult the caterpillar?" The red knight gasped as he pulled away.
"I did, and the stupid smoking caterpillar threw this at me." I pulled a scroll out of a bag that I carried and handed it to the white queen. She unrolled the scroll and examined it carefully, her eyes moving back and forth.
"Hmm… it says that you would defeat the red queen…and if you win, you would return home."
"BUT I ALREADY DEFEATED THE RED QUEEN. DIDN'T I?!" I glanced at the white knight and the red queen.
"Not really."
"What do you mean?"
"You may have stopped our problems but it doesn't mean that you defeated me." The red queen curled her mouth into a grin. "You must defeat me in a game. And I will let you go home."
"Is this dress necessary?" I examined my dress and she nodded.
"Of course. Are you ready?" I shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess…"
"Very well, I am holding up two pills. One has the ability to let you go home while the other does nothing and you will be stuck here forever and you must marry the person I choose. Pick the pill and take it." She held up a red pill in one hand and a white pill in another. I looked at the pills carefully and shook my head.
"I don't know which one," I mumbled. "The game is too hard."
"Fine," She sighed and motioned the card to break the hatter's chains. "I'll let the hatter help you in this game."
The hatter rubbed his wrists as he walked over to my side.
"Welcome back, I'm very sorry."
"I see that you have returned to our normal height and its okay," He smiled. "It was horrible there."
"You look horrible; maybe this might help you a bit?" I took his white hat and placed it on top of his head.
"Thank you." He focused his view onto the two pills that the red queen had held up and after a while… he bent down and whispered in my ear.
"Look really carefully, you should know which one to take. After all, you have been before."
Once he whispered that, my eyes widened as I pointed to the red pill. "That one."
"Is this your final choice?" The red queen let out a fake smile. I nodded. I'm certain that this is the one.
She handed the red pill and a glass of water.
Staring at the red pill in my hand, I looked at the others. They were staring back at me, eager to know what happens next.
"If I go home, can I see you again?" The hatter shook his head.
"I'm afraid that you can't." He said sadly. "In fact, you won't remember me at all."
"Oh well… NICE SEEING YOU ALL HERE! I'M OUT!" I plopped the pill in my mouth and drank the water, setting it down on the ground and stepping back, closing my eyes. I thought I felt a little tingle and a little dizziness and when I opened my eyes, I saw the same pairs of eyes all staring at me.
"Rima…"
"WHAT THE HELL?! I TOOK THE WRONG PILL?!"
"Rima…"
"AHAHAHAHA!! SO you did lose the game! Now you must marry the person that I choose!" The red queen laughed hysterically.
I sighed sadly as I turned her.
"Alright, you win. Who is this person?" I mumbled, feeling pretty pissed at myself for not taking the white pill.
"Hmm… I'm going to be generous for losing the game, I'll pick someone that's right for you."
I stood in front of the rest of the crowd, scanning the suitable knights whom had all taken off their helmets.
"Hmm..let's see… Ah! I know the perfect husband for you!" she let out a huge grin that resembles the Cheshire. When looking at the two side-by-side, they creepily looked like each other.
"Who is it?"
"I see a little relationship going on between you and the hatter. So, I declare the marriage between Rima and the hatter!" What?!
I spun around to see the hatter holding up his arms as if to say 'I-give-up'.
UGH.
"I HAVE TO MARRY THE HATTER?! Not that I don't like him or anything but WHAT KIND OF WORLD IS THIS?! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT! I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS STUPID WONDERLAND!" I screamed on top of my lungs and the world went black.
Recovering:
"Rima-Chan! Wake up!" The hatter was calling my name. "Wake up!"
Hands were gently nudging my shoulder.
"Leave me alone." I mumbled. "I want to die."
"What are you talking about? We're going to be late."
"Exactly, I don't want to get married. So go on without me."
"Hmm… I'm warning you… don't make me do this." A bright light shone down on my face and I groaned, opening my eyes to see the hatter without his hat.
"Great! You're awake! Now, come on! We're going to be late!"
"For what? I'm not getting married." I retorted, rubbing my eyes.
"What are you talking about?" He looked at me with a confused expression. "What I meant by being late is that Amu-Chan is coming over so that we could go to the beach with the others." I sat up.
"SO, I'M NOT STUCK IN WONDERLAND?!" I cried.
"Uh… no?"
"I KNEW IT!" I shouted, rolled over and I fell out of bed. Ouch.
So it was a dream after all. I'm not stuck in wonderland forever.
Nagihiko bent down and picked up a thin book from the floor, examining the cover.
"Rima-Chan, have you been reading Alice in Wonderland again?"
A/N: Like I had promised, here is the first bonus story! Whew, it's 15 pages long! The longest chapter that I had typed. (IFPFA should have chapters that long too… Shudder Shudder. I'm going to die if I type this long)
So, obviously, this bonus story is based off from Alice in Wonderland and if you had watched the Tim Burton movie, it's kind of similar.
Maybe it's because I was inspired to type a Rimahiko/ Kuutau/ Amuto version of Alice in wonderland since many other animes also create episodes based off on a Adult story* of a young girl who falls down a hole and into Underland (Alice calls it wonderland. If you didn't watch the movie, I suggest you should.), then drinks wine and swallows a pill?
*(YES, THIS BOOK IS ORIGINALLY FOR ADULTS CONIDERING A SMOKING CATERPILLER AND LOTS OF DRUGS INVOLVED. THE AUTHOR HIMSELF IS SUCH A PERVERT, CONSIDERING HOW HE HAS TASTES IN YOUNG GIRLS. IT'S CREEPY O_O)
And by Alice in wonderland references, it means Ouran high school host club and…a couple of other animes that I'm probably too lazy to watch? :3
Besides this, now that I was reading it over, I realize that the events progressed too quickly and many more characters suddenly vanished? I'm sorry about that.
Other than that, what do you think about this bonus story?
If you liked it, I might start typing more bonus stories to add on to IFPFA. And don't worry! The next chapter will go back to the story~
If you're curious, maybe it's time to give a little spoiler on the next chappie?
Here it is~:
I ran back to Fujisaki's room to find him sitting on the floor, cross legged while holding a naginata in his hand. His hair was tied back and his eyes flashed evil yellow beams.
"Nagihiko?" He looked up, staring into nothing. I set the pail of water down, waving my hand up and down in front of his face, keeping my distance in case if he decides to cut my hand off.
"Hello?" He looked at me in confusion, and then started to burst into a fit of Nadeshiko pitched giggles.
"Dear Rima-Chan! Might I say what beautiful hair you have today! Oh, your hair is so curly; it almost looks like Utau-Chan's bowl of tender ramen!" He grabbed a handful of my ram- I mean blond hair and fiddled it between his fingers.
OH EM EFF GEE.
He's gone completely insane. Err….
Losing patience:
"STOP IT ALREADY!" I let go of his grip on my hair and he let his Naginata slide down his lap and drop; a metal clinking sound echoed through the almost-empty room as it hit the Tatami matted floor. He looked up with me, his eyes suddenly welling with tears.
"Rima-Chan, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!" He sobbed hysterically and I was taken aback at the sudden mood-change.
And there you have it~ you will have to wait until the next chapter gets updated~!
Oh… I have to warn you though… I've been tired of counting down so I've decided to make a last filler chapter before the plan gets into action~ And we all know that we're anticipating for that moment, nee? :)
So until then, please leave a review when the mood strikes you.
Remember, all reviews are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

P.S: Mentioning Lawrence… Do I still have to continue with the mentions? Just a question. O3O
