Hey it's me! I'm back with another chapter of Raven in Wonderland, before we get this fabulously and admittedly filler chapter started, I would like to address a line that Nix (or rather Nixie the Cheshire Cat) had last chapter. Her line with "Her name was Rachel or Radella or Frank or something…let's call her Ace." Is basically me poking fun at myself, see whenever I have to tell my friends a story and I can't remember someone's name I start off by guessing two names that sound like or possibly are the person's name, then I guess a name from the opposite gender, then I say a random word that most people wouldn't have for a name. In this case, the girl's name was actually Rachel, as she was intended to be Raven's wonderland counter part, but Nix couldn't remember if that really was her name so then…that happened. XP

Anyways, I admit its kind of a filler chapter, at the end of the chapter I push the story back onto its main course, its just if I didn't have this chapter the story would end on an odd number and odd numbers aren't exactly my friends. Also, also, I don't mention this in the chapter seeing as I just call them Dee and Dum, but Tweedle Dee is Mas and Tweedle Dum is Menos.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or Alice in Wonderland, just my OC Nix. I also don't own the computer I'm typing this on as I am at home for the weekend and I forgot to bring my laptop with, so thank you mother and father for the use of the desktop computer I have nearly crashed about 20 times over my 19 years of life.

After what seemed like hours of running Raven and Nixie finally made their way out of the maze and back into the forest. However, ever since they got back into the forest, Raven felt like they were going in circles. "Nixie do you have any idea where you're headed?"

"I have an idea of where I'd like to go yes." Nixie responded, continuing to lead Raven in whatever direction she thought was right.

Raven sighed and looked at her surroundings, on her right the trees were sparser and it was very bright, but on her left the forest was quite dense, and there was this one really tall tree with some cuts in the bark. 'Wait a minute….I've seen that tree before.' "Nixie, we've been going in circles, we've passed that tree about five times since we got back in this stupid forest."

The cat girl turned her head to look at the tree; she shrugged before turning back towards the path ahead and continuing to walk. "So we have, so we have. Worry not Raven, I now know exactly where we are."

"And that would be?" Raven asked through gritted teeth.

"Exactly where we were when we exited the castle garden." Nixie replied as she turned Raven around so she was looking at where they'd come from. They weren't more than twenty feet away from the exit of the maze.

"How is that possible? We've been walking for hours!"

Suddenly Nixie slapped her hand to her head. "Hearts Castle physics, duh." She looked at Raven who looked like she was about ready to murder Nixie on the spot. "Okay, hear me out Raven, this is going to sound weird, but the only way to get deeper into the forest away from Hearts Castle is to start walking towards Hearts Castle."

"That doesn't make any sense!" Raven insisted. "If that's how it is, how come Gar and I were able to enter the castle garden by walking towards it, and how come you were able to do the same thing?"

"It's an enchantment on the castle and the woods surrounding it, if you want to get to the castle you can just by walking towards, but if you desperately need to leave, like us, you still have to walk towards it. Most people would just try to run away from it, it's a way to keep escaped prisoners in one spot so the guards can come retrieve them in no time." Nixie grabbed Raven's wrist and lead her in the direction of the castle. "Trust me on this, I'm at least 95% sure I know what I'm doing."

"And the other 5%?" Raven asked.

"I'm 5% sure we're going to walk right into the game of croquet the Queen and the other nobles are playing and the Queen will order us both to be executed." Nixie said, still trudging towards the castle.

"Oh joy." Raven replied, when they got too close to the castle for comfort Raven closed her eyes.

"Raven, it's safe to open your eyes now." Raven opened her eyes and sure enough, she and Nixie were miles away from the castle.

'Huh, maybe I should consider doing a similar enchantment on my room so I can keep everyone but myself out…' Raven thought.

Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by a huge gust of wind.

"What was that?" Raven asked looking around.

Nixie let out a frustrated sigh. "Great, they're here."

"Who's here?" Raven asked again.

"The terror twins, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum." Just as Nixie said that, two twins that looked a lot like Mas and Menos appeared in front of them.

"Hola senoritas." One of them said.

'Wow…I couldn't dream them speaking English could I?' Raven thought.

Nixie huffed. "Dee, I know you and Dum can speak English. You're only supposed to use Spanish when we're trying to mess with Gar."

"Aw come on Nixie, you take the fun out of everything." The one who didn't speak before, Dum, said while pouting.

'Or maybe I can…' Raven thought looking surprised.

"What's up with her?" Dee whispered to Nixie.

"Dunno, she just kind of showed up here and says some of us look like people she knows." Nixie gave a shrug. "Maybe she knows some twins that look like you two."

"So uh, whatcha doing out here anyways Nixie, aren't you supposed to be on the witness stand at the upcoming trial for Jack?" Dum asked.

Nixie's eyes widened in realization, if Raven went back to the castle the Queen would have her head, but if Nixie missed the trial the Queen would have her head. "Shit, when does the trial start?"

"Um…in about an hour." Dee said. "It takes about an hour to get to the castle from here." Dum added.

"Oh man, the Queen's gonna have my head on a platter if I don't make it to that trial on time. Guys, can you watch Raven till the trial is over? The castle isn't exactly safety central for her right now."

"That won't be necessary Nixie; I think I can handle myself." Raven said.

"Listen Raven, if you end up back at the castle you. Will. Die. And if I leave you alone in this forest Gar will kill me! Dee, Dum, can you watch her?"

"Sure." Dee said. "Why not?" Dum concluded.

"Thanks! I'll be back when the trial's over!" Nixie said before running off back in the direction of the castle.

Raven inwardly groaned, not that she wasn't grateful that Nixie was trying very hard to keep her protected, it's just that she could barely keep her sanity in this strange dream with just Nixie and Gar around, now she had to deal with two twins?

"Hellooooooooooo!" Raven was pulled from her thoughts once more upon realizing one of the twins, most likely Dee was trying to talk to her.

"You space out a lot, don't you lady?" Dum asked.

"Here yes, in the real world, no." Raven stated simply.

"Real world?" Dee asked. "Whatcha mean by real world lady?" Dum added to his brother's question.

Raven sighed and took a seat on the light green and dark green patched grass. 'Huh, it kind of looks like a chess board. I never noticed that before.' She thought absently before speaking. "This is all a messed up dream I'm having because of some psycho named Dream Eater."

Dee and Dum looked at each other before Dee spoke. "Well just cause it's a dream doesn't make it any less real than when you're awake."

"Yeah," Dum added. "You may not space out so much when you're awake, but because you're doing that here it means you have the potential to do it when you're awake."

"So don't call being awake 'real life' lady, cause dreams as vivid as this, aren't any less real than being awake." Dee concluded.

"Basically, until you wake up lady, this is real life." Dum added matter-of-factly.

Raven sighed, "Alright, well since you two are such experts, what do you recommend I do in order to wake up?" She asked somewhat sarcastically.

"Hmm…" Dee said as he started to think.

"You could walk around and investigate." Dum said.

"Maybe that'll help you learn more about yourself, and in turn that'll help you wake up." Dee said.

Raven thought, she didn't really have much of an option did she? As long as she stayed away from the castle she'd be alright, wouldn't she? "Alright, I'll walk around and see what I learn I guess." She said as she stood up and headed further into the darker part of the forest.

"Bye lady!" She could hear one of the twins shout. "Have a nice trip of self discovery lady!" The other one added. "Don't die!" The both said simultaneously.

So that's the chapter! I was planning on writing Mas and Menos speaking in Spanish but I haven't taken Spanish in two years and I don't want to use google translate for their lines sooooo…yeah. Next chapter we get to see Terra the Caterpillar one more time and the beginnings of the trial. We've still got more than half of the story to go folks! And I guarantee you it will not end on an odd number…like 13…stupid 13, causing me to get injured on multiple Friday's over the years.

Please R&R! :D
