Hey guys I'm back! Sorry it took so long…this was a long time right? I don't keep track of days or weeks and such. All I remember is that I was going to write this next chapter and I got distracted by papers, but I was saved and able to write this now that I've contracted the stomach flu…yay sickness?

Disclaimer: As you all know I sadly do not own Teen Titans or Alice in Wonderland, but I do own my oc Nix.

Raven shifted uncomfortably in her chair, the queen had entered the court room not too long ago, but the trial hadn't actually started. After a few minutes the king had joined her and the two of them had Gar running all over the place to get things ready. "Nixie, what's this trial for anyways?" Raven finally asked.

"The Jack of Hearts is on trial for apparently trying to over throw the queen…by stealing her tarts." Nixie replied as she rolled her eyes. "The queen gets bored so she accuses people of different things and holds trials to entertain herself. Although the Jack has been trying to over throw the queen from my understanding, she hasn't actually put any plan into action."

"She? I was under the impression that the Jack was a boy." Was all Raven could say.

"Yeah you would think that wouldn't you? I mean it makes sense, male name and all." Wally the March Hare said as he turned around to face the two girls. "'Cept the Jack is actually the queen's older sister." Just as this was said, the Jack entered the court room and took her seat in front of the large amount of people in the room.

"Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear." Victor mumbled.

Raven smirked; at this point she wasn't even surprised that the Jack looked like Blackfire, though it was a bit unsettling to think about. "So Wait, Nixie, Wally, Victor, did any of you guys actually witness this supposed crime?"

The three anthropomorphic animals looked at each other and then back at Raven each giving a reason as to why they were witnesses and yet they hadn't seen anything, but because they were all speaking at the same time it came out in a jumble of words sounding something like this. "Well I, rjgmahi jgiureh iu tmghcuhgrvqimtu hiuzgcmrg hitu."

Raven blinked at them, obviously confused at the jumbled statements.

"Here in Wonderland, no one really witnesses the crimes that occur." Victor offered.

"We're just all on the witness stand because well…we're usually the people deemed as witnesses." Wally added.

"The duchess is like the queen's best friend, so that's the only reason I'm here." Nixie said.

"So you're basically presenting false evidence then?" Raven asked shocked.

"Well…more or less, it's not exactly false I mean, everyone knows the Jack is plotting to take over." Nixie said as she awkwardly rubbed the back of her head.

"And Gar did walk in on the Jack stealing the queen's tarts." Wally confirmed.

Suddenly the four of them became aware of the queen starting to speak the reason for the trial and they had no choice but to stop talking. 'Hopefully this'll be over soon.' Raven thought to herself, drowning out whatever it was that the queen was saying.

As the trial went on witnesses came and went. The Jack looked very uninterested in the fact that she could be hung at the end of this, and just lazily cleaned her nails, not really focusing on the actual trial at hand.

Nixie went up as the first witness but was sent back to her seat after insulting not only the jack, but the queen, the king, and Gar as well.

Then Victor and Wally gave their testimony, which didn't really make sense since even though they were on the witness stand they, much like everyone else in the group of witnesses, had not actually seen anything and spoke of how they had been having tea with the hatter at the time.

"The crime occurred at 8 o'clock at night, isn't that a little late for tea?" The King asked, eyeing the two of them suspiciously.

"Well you see sir, where we come from; it's always tea time there." Wally said.

"The hatter loves his tea; he wouldn't stop a tea party for anything." Victor added.

"Well then, let's just have a conversation with this hatter." The Queen said.

Before Victor and Wally could protest by saying that not only was the hatter not there, he also couldn't talk; remarkably the little Silkie like worm wearing a top hat had magically made his way to the witness stand.

"This should be interesting." Raven mumbled to Nixie.

Victor had to hold the Hatter up for the rest of the court to see, as he was only a few inches high altogether, he didn't expect the Hatter to say anything, so you can imagine his surprise at what happened next.

In a refined English accent, the Hatter began to speak and answer the queen's questions. "It's true your majesty, you see, Time and I had a bit of a falling out many years ago, and so Time stopped. He made it so that it was always tea time where I live, and so the three of us were drinking tea, a natural thing to do during tea time, whilst the crime was being committed."

The entire court went silent, it seemed no one had expected the Hatter to speak, even the King's jaw dropped at this occurrence.

"Yes well…after that witness how about the court takes a 20 minute break?" The King suggested after a few minutes of silence.

"Excellent idea my King." The Queen agreed. "Everyone be back and ready to testify in 20 minutes.

After the court was called to a break Gar rushed over to where Raven and Nixie were sitting. "Alright, it's a break, Gar I'm taking Raven out of here." Nixie said.

"What? No! She's safer here than she is in the forest with Dee and Dum; the queen doesn't even know she's here. And if you leave with her she's going to know."

"Are you kidding?" Nixie practically shouted. "Victor and Wally were just at the witness stand; that means they weren't blocking Raven from the Queen's sight. She could have seen her at any moment."

Raven rolled her eyes and watched as the two of them began to bicker again. To be completely honest she wasn't really safe anywhere so long as she was in this dream, but she was probably safer with Nixie and Gar than she would be if she was sent back to Dee and Dum.

Before Raven could tell Nixie and Gar what she thought, the Queen and the King walked past the group, Raven was of course obscured from the Queen's sight, but the Queen said something very unsettling as she walked by.

"Dear King I have a question for you."

"What is it?" The King asked, not really sure what was going on.

"Why is a Raven like a writing desk?" The Queen cast a side glance at Gar and Nixie, as if to say she knew Raven was there, before looking back at the King as they continued to walk.

Gar went wide eyed and stopped talking, Nixie crossed her arms and glared at him. "See she knows Raven's here. She was much safer in the forest than she is here."

"Except now, we don't really have a choice on where she should be." Gar said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Nixie asked.

"If the Queen knows Raven's here, Raven can't leave without the Queen sending some soldiers after her…we have to keep her here until the trial ends." Gar insisted.

Nixie huffed, "I don't like it…but we don't really have a chance."

Gar sighed. "This just got a whole lot harder." Raven and Nixie nodded and the three of them stood in uncomfortable silence until the twenty minute break was up.

Woot! I finished another chapter! I am proud of myself! :D Hope you liked it! Please R&R!
