Yusei continued to swim through the pool of tears he created. 'It feels weird trying to learn how to swim in a dress,' Yusei thought embarrassingly. He placed his hand over his face to see if he could see any land. Then, strangely, he heard a voice, sounding similar, singing a peculiar song:
"I see the sod!
The sod sees cod!
Swimming around in the deep blue sea!
I see the cod!
The cod sees me!
Flying over like bird through the sea!"
"What the-?" Yusei asked. He gasped with fright as he saw a pelican that looked like Crow. He had his hair, and his band, and his earrings! 'What kind of a bird wears those things?' he thought. "HEY! EXCUSE ME!" Yusei called. The pelican looked at Yusei and flew beside him.
"Land-ho by Jove!" he called. "If it isn't Alice!"
"Alice?" Yusei asked. "DO I LOOK LIKE A GIRL TO YOU? I'M A-Wait. Alice did you say?" he asked.
"Yep!" the pelican replied. "This is Wonderland! Ring a bell?" Yusei thought for a moment. "You mean…this is Alice in wonderland? AND I'M ALICE?" He cried. 'Explains why I have the dress and why I changed size,' he thought. "Hey, wait a minute! There was no pelican in Alice In Wonderland!"
"There is now!" the Pelican replied. "Crow the Pelican, at your service!"
"Oh, really?" Yusei asked. "If you really ARE at my service, can I ask you a favour? Which way's the quickest way to land?"
"Land?" the pelican asked. "Why, allow the tide carry you across to land! Oh good, here it comes! Right on schedule!" Yusei looked behind him finding an enormous tide towering above him. He gave a shriek of fright and the tide carried him to shore, where other strange animals he couldn't recognize were waiting.
"Oh dear!" shrieked a mouse. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm perfectly fine…" Yusei replied, steaming through his head.
"How come he's all wet?" another animal asked.
"Don't worry!" Said the pelican, as he landed on a stone. "Gather round! I know what'll dry this young gentleman up! A story of history!"
"BORING!" One of the animals called. "It better not be about William the Conqueror again!"
"Alright, fine!" said the pelican angrily. "If you can't be civil, YOU can tell the story!"
"Of course," said another mouse. "But it's a sad and long tale."
"It is a long tail," said Yusei. "All mice do have long tails."
"But this tale is different from others," the mouse replied. "It goes like this:
"Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, 'Let us both go to law: I will prosecute YOU. Come, I'll take no denial; We must have a trial: For really this morning I've nothing to do.' Said the mouse to the cur, 'Such a trial, dear Sir, With no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath.' 'I'll be judge, I'll be jury,' Said cunning old Fury: 'I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.'"
"Yep, I've heard that before," said Yusei.
"Never mind about that," said the pelican. "How dry are you, Yusei?"
"As wet as ever!" said Yusei.
"Alright! Everyone line up! Prepare for the Caucus race!" said the Pelican.
"Caucus race?" Yusei asked. Everyone was already lined up ready to go. Yusei had no other choose than to join in. Basically, everyone was running around in circles for 20 minutes. But during that time, Yusei had to make an escape. 'Now should be the chance,' he thought, and ran out of the race and into the woods. "Phew!" he sighed. "That outta do it! Now, where was I going?"
