Here is part three. Can you guess who the Dodo Bird will be? I understand this might be very hard to read if you read the real Alice in Wonderland- I never have. I'm just going by the Disney movie vision. I'm sorry for the real fans…

I don't own Kingdom Hearts.

Part 3

The Shore to Wonderland

Kairi struggled to stay above the waves. The door had led her to a completely different atmosphere. The sky was cloudy and she saw rounded rocks everywhere. She spotted a large bottle and climbed into it.

She heard all of her sounds crowd herself, but she looked around, trying to ignore it. She pressed her hands on the sides of the spinning bottle for balance. She traveled for a while, trying not to throw-up several times. The ride wouldn't let down either; the waves were powerful and big.

She started wondering if she shouldn't leave the bottle; it seemed to be taking her no where. Then she spotted something on one of the rounded rocks. She rubbed the bottle's glass for a clearer look. It was a man with uncontrollable, blonde hair swaying his hands and dancing. She pressed her head up against where he was dancing and her butt on the other end for balance.

He had a bill that went out and curved for a nose and a mouth. His eyes looked laid back and relaxed. He was apparently singing, because Kairi couldn't hear any music. He stepped from side to side while turning in circles. The waves weren't as powerful over by him, but they sprayed up in the air.

Kairi gasped when the waves kicked back it revealed a dancing circle of underwater animals. They seem to be running-dancing to the same beat the bird-man was dancing to.

She grabbed the sides of the bottle's opening and hoisted herself up. She kicked off the bottle's neck inside and landed right in the middle of someone's path, which was running. She rolled to the side before getting stepped on by a-

"Running fish?" she gasped amazed. He looked to be having a great time. She got a closer glimpse of the bird-man, before getting swept by the waves. She grabbed onto the rock, getting pounded by the waves. When the waves kicked back, she decided to get in line.

"Yo!" the man cried out happily. He looked at her and started following her with his circle. "You're new, aren't you?"

"Who are you?" Kairi asked in curiousness. The man laughed jovially. She gave a worried look to the side, watching the waves get closer. She then looked at him. He wore a long purple shirt with a white sailor's cap. He had bird feet too.

She then gasped for air when the waves came back. She was lifted off her feet and set back down on her back when the waves kicked back.

"I am the host of this race," the man said. "I am the Dodo Bird everyone hears about!" Kairi scratched the side of her head when a random name came to mind. She had heard it, but never met anyone with it- like someone in a different life knew it.

"It's not Demyx, is it?" she called up.

"Demy-wha?" He called down, with his hand cuffing his ear. Kairi got up, but was pounded with waves again.

In aggravation she cried, "Does anyone know where a boy with bunny ears went?"

"Woah," the Dodo Bird cried. "You have to get dry first!" he spread his arms out.

"Well, do you have a towel?"

The Dodo laughed. "Oh, no. Everyone knows the way to dry off in Wonderland is to race in the Caucus Race with us."

"Skip the drying then," she shouted, her head above the water for a few seconds, then under. "How do I get past all this water?"

"Head over to the shore," the Dodo said pointing to Kairi's left. She looked over, but could never see over the wall of waves.

"How do I get to the shore?" she asked him.

"I'll take you, if you don't have a ride," the Dodo bird exclaimed, delighted. He reached down for an umbrella next to him. He opened it up and tossed it into the water. Kairi watched him jump in, and flatten a spot next to him.

"Hop in!" he invited. She raced over to him and jumped up into the umbrella before getting swept over by the waves again. The Dodo laughed and they were off to the shore of Wonderland.

Kairi hung her head over the side of the umbrella. "So it's like a raft," she concluded.

"Yes," the Dodo said, and reached behind him. He pulled out a sitar. He placed it on his lap, ready to play. "You don't mind, do you?"

Kairi shook her head. He plucked a couple times, and then played a song. Kairi had never heard it before. He mentioned the Caucus Race more than once. She looked to the horizon, waiting to see land.

It took several rounds of the Dodo to play his song before she saw a strip of land on the horizon. She crawled to the front part of the umbrella, and she watched the land become full of detail and get bigger.

"You can't go to Wonderland dressed like that," the Dodo told her, disapprovingly. Kairi looked down at her clothes. She looked fine to her. She crossed her arms, defending.

"What's the matter with my clothes?" she asked pouting.

"Don't want to get teased, do you?" the Dodo asked, putting away his sitar. He retrieved a set of clothes. "You can try these on when you get ashore." He said, handing them to her.

She unraveled the clothing. It was a pink dress, and a white *pinafore to go on top. She examined the stockings that were also in the pile. He handed her shoes. They were black to match with a black bow he had instructed her to put on.

"You'll look nice," he assured her with a smile. He stepped up and boarded her off onto the sand. "Have a nice day!"
She stepped off and got her first look at the Wonderland that wasn't underwater.

*Pinafore-a child's apron, usually large enough to cover the dress and sometimes trimmed with flounces. (Alice wears one in Disney's Alice in Wonderland.)
