Chapter 3 Alice in Wonderland

Jiminy: Say, that was pretty swell! You've actually saved one of the stories, but there are three more where that came from. Which one do you want to tackle next?

Doremi: Well let me see. (flipping through the pages) How about this one?

Jiminy: Well, it looks like our next story is Alice in Wonderland. Alice has been on a lot of strange adventures, but she always managed to keep her head.

Suddenly a voice of one of card soldiers shouts from inside the story.

Card Soldier: By order of the queen, we have orders to be prepare to remove Alice's head.

Jiminy: Boy, those darn villains always know when to chime in, don't they?

Doremi: They sure do.

Alice's voice is now speaking.

Alice: Oh dear, no! If I go home without my head, my mother will be so very unhappy with me.

Jiminy: Oh no! This ending has really gone to pieces.

Jiminy jumps into the storybook.

Doremi: Right behind ya!

Doremi jumps in as well. In the whirlwind, Jiminy and Doremi are spiraling in it.

Jiminy: Whooooaaaa!

Doremi: Aaaaaaaaah!

The whirlwind around them morphs into the entrance to the topiary maze.

Jiminy: Alice has got to be around here someplace.

As our heroes walk towards the entrance they see a topiary statue of the Queen of Hearts holding an ax above her. After passing through the entrance and card soldiers, they found Alice who is now beheaded.

Doremi: Oh no! Her head's gone.

Jiminy: Well, better late than ever...I hope.

They walk up to Alice's moving body.

Jiminy: H-hello Alice. Sorry we were a little late. I guess there's not much we can do for you.

Alice's voice: Of course there is. You can find my body.

Doremi: We have it right here.

Alice's Voice: Oh! good. Would you be so kind to bring it to me. I'm somewhere in the beautiful maze of bushes. Please hurry.

Jiminy: (jumps on Doremi's shoulder) Well come on, let's get hopping. Who knows how long it would take to find our way.

Card Soldier: Your way! There's no way here but the queen's way. (to the other soldiers) If the cricket and his friend move, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

Doremi: Time to go.

Alice's voice: Just follow my voice. It will lead you right to me.

Jiminy: Come on. Alice is waiting.

Our Heroes run through the path until they reach a clearing with multiple paths.

Doremi: Which way should we go?

Jiminy: Look around until you can find which entrance Alice's voice is coming from the loudest.

Doremi listens carefully until she hears Alice's voice coming from third entrance on the left.

Alice: I'm over here!

Doremi: We're coming, Alice-chan!

They run through the entrance down the long path.

Jiminy: There you go. That's using your head...or at least your ears.

Along the way they collide with a spade-shaped smoke.

Doremi: (Coughs)

Jiminy: (Heavy coughing) What was that?

Doremi: Smoke from the caterpillar's hookah.

They come across a heart-shaped smoke.

Jiminy: Grab that thing before it hits us.

Doremi: (takes out Jewelry Poron) Pirika pirilala poporina peperuto! Big fan appear.

A folding fan appears in her hand and she uses it to fan the smoke away. They stop at another clearing and listen for Alice's voice.

Alice's Voice: This way!

They take the entrance on the right. Along the way they come to a smoke shaped like a crocodile.

Jiminy: Clear away that smoke!

Doremi fans the smoke away. They come across a wide grin.

Jiminy: Stop that Cheshire Cat!

Doremi pokes her folded up fan in the Cheshire Cat's nose causing him to disappear. After several more paths through the maze they come to a dead-end where they find Alice's head floating in the end.

Alice: (To her body) Why there you are! I'm very surprised of you, though, running off like that and just when I needed you to support.

And just like magic, Alice's head reattaches to her body.

Doremi: "Curiouser and curiouser!"

Jiminy: He he he! That's why they call this place "Wonderland."

Alice: Come come. There's no time to waste. We need to follow the White Rabbit so that he could lead us home.

Together with Alice, Doremi and Jiminy run back into the clearing where they spot the white rabbit.

Doremi: There he is!

Jiminy: Hurry! The guards are on their way!

The rabbit runs down an entrance.

Doremi: Let's go!

Jiminy: Here, Doremi. You'll need this paint brush.

Doremi: Arigato Jiminy-san.

As they run after the rabbit, one of the guards blocks the path.

Guard: Halt, by order of the queen!

Jiminy: Quick, paint that rose tree.

Doremi: One white rose tree coming up.

Doremi swishes her paint brush painting the red roses white. The guard gets distracted and our heros run past him. They come to another clearing where the white rabbit runs through another path entrance.

Doremi: Come on!

They run after the rabbit. Suddenly a noise is heard as they are running down the path

(Alarm ringing)

Doremi: Sounds like an alarm clock.

Jiminy: Hey, watch out!

Doremi notices a giant watch.

Doremi: Yikes!

Doremi uses her paintbrush to swat the watch aside causing it to hit the bush and smash to bits.

Doremi: Whew!

After following the white rabbit down the maze dodging the guards they stop at a dead end where the white rabbit pops through a small door.

Doremi: How are we suppose to get through that.

Alice: (Handing Doremi a candy) Here, eat this.

Alice and Doremi chew on the candies and suddenly they shrink down to the size of Jiminy.

Doremi: Wow!

Jiminy opens the door allowing Alice to pass through it. Doremi and Jiminy follow after her and they find themselves falling down a well filled with floating furniture.

Alice: It was very nice of you to save me and my story. Please do drop by again.

Doremi: Sayonara, Alice-chan.

Doremi and Jiminy pass through the whirlwind at the bottom and are transported back to Doremi's bedroom. The illustration on the page plays Alice waking up back to her home world and follow her sister back to their home.

Jiminy: (Sighs) Alice has finally made it back home. I just love a happy ending. He he he.

Doremi: (Giggles) Me too
