OH MY GASP! Sorry !

Here!

Fandom: Alice in Wonderland

"Are we there yet?" Kim whined.

"We have at least another hour," The Squire-Guy said with absolute distaste.

"I swear I just saw the same sign," Jack pointed out. "Why aren't we there yet? It didn't take me this long to get out here."

"Because, My Liege, we have to go the safe route and- Oh!" His voice cut out in a gasp as everything- including him- began to melt away.

"Jack! Jack!" Kim shouted. "What is happening?" Jack shook his head in absolute wonderment as even the horse and the grassy forest floor beneath them melted away.

And then they began to fall. And fall. And as Kim noticed, it began to look something like the Rabbit Hole, the one Alice falls down. And as she thought this, she still fell. And, as Jack noticed, his clothes began to change. And his princely pants became long white pants. And his princely shirt became a white button up, with ruffles. And his princely jacket, turned into a crisp blue vest, with space at the neckline for the ruffles on the shirt to spill through. And Kim, seeing this change, looked down at her own clothes, her dirty-definitely-to-girly-for-her-to-own-dress, became a long, ankle length, blue, corset with button topped, dress. And they both looked at each other. And screamed. And shouted. And watched as the piano, the bed, the bookshelf, fell past them. And they kept screaming. And they kept shouting. And they kept watching. And they did so- at least until everything went black.

"Oof!" she landed with a thud. Panting and looking round for Jack, she saw the chandelier. It was beautiful, with glass cut like diamonds and thousand of tiny fragments of mirror, glinting away, reflecting and increasing the candle light. But there was something wrong with it. Something that did not make any sense; it looked perfect. And then it her, almost as hard as the floor did when she realized that it had been upside down.

"Really!" Kim stood and rubbed her head. She caught sight of her shoes, which had apparently changed to. They were simple shoes, more like boots, though. They were white, with neatly trimmed heels, and they had black accents, along with black hooks and black laces. They were tied neatly, and they were shining, not a hint of dirt or a smudge. It was the same with rest of her clothes. Perfect.

She furrowed her brow and looked about the room, roughly ten doors all around, and a curtain. And right in the centre, a pretty glass table. It, unlike her and the rest of the room, looked old and dirty. The table had two items, a vile, and a wrapped Godiva chocolate piece.

"Alice, from Alice in Wonderland. She drank the vile to grow big, and she took the cake to grow small- or something..." her eyes widened, "Sooooo not eating either of those."

She decided to as Alice did, try all the doors. "The key- dang it." The key wasn't on the table, or under the table- at least as far as she could tell. She was just beginning to lean down to check when she stopped. "Behind the curtain." she spoke aloud with certainty. Kim knelt down to try the door, it opened wide, but just like in the movie, she was way too big to fit through it. Standing and turning to face the table again with narrowed eyes, she gave a deep breath of defeat, and raised the vile to her lips.

"This is beginning to become slightly ridiculous." Jack was sitting cross legged on the ground. All around him were trees and plants of all sorts, brown, gray, green, purple, pink, sparkly tie die, everything. Then he looked straight ahead to see what he was facing.

A huge golden-blue door. Ornate carvings of things like people, numbers, landscapes, words, and even what looked like someone social media (most likely Instagram, he thought) account: asabopp.

And all of it, the door in middle of trees with no wall around it, the trees and plants themselves, and his clothing. They reminded him of something. Some movie, or book, or whatever.

"Aline on Windarland . . . Aliece of Wodirlend . . . Alice in Wonderland!" he exclaimed. Then he was silent for a moment to revel in his victory. "I'm the White Rabbit." Jack nodded and then went back to slience.

As much as there was around him, there was nothing to do, no one around, no one to talk to. "Kim!" he realized that he had no idea where she was. And to be honest, he kind of missed her. Because as annoying as she was, she was still okay to talk to. Okay. Just okay. Not better than okay, and he supposed, not worse. She was only okay.

But then- was she really okay? "She could be dead, she could be chained up somewhere, she could be slowly dying, or she could even be-"

The door flew open, and Kim sailed through the doorway, and a little farther, to land directly on top of him.

"-Right on top of me and sort of crushing my lungs!"

"Sorry, Jack," she rolled off of him and stood up, dusting off the dress and herself.

"You're Aline!" he said a moment later, standing and dusting himself off, too.

"Aline?" Kim asked incredulously.

"Aliece." Jack corrected himself.

"Aliece?" Kim asked again.

Jack was silent, his face showing his pondering. "Alice!"

Kim nodded. "Yes, Alice, but it took you way too long for me to give you any credit."

"I'm going to be the bigger person and ignore that snide comment. What do we do now?" Jack said decisively.

"Well, if I remember the movie correctly-" loud barking, roaring, screaming, and the sound of feet pounding filled the air, cutting Kim short.

"RUN!" they both yelled in unison and took off running.

"Ow!" Kim's dress caught on something, throwing her to the ground. Jack stopped running and stooped to help her up. He grabbed her hand tightly, pulled her up, and they continued to run. Past the multi-coloured plants, past the blue trees that were dripping something, until they reached a forest. They both stopped and bent down to catch their breaths. Kim stood up first, still panting hard. She lifted her hand, which was still tightly gripping Jack's hand, which was still tightly gripping hers. Jack caught sight of this and quickly dropped her hand, wiped his now free hand on his pants, and realized how warm and soft her hand was. Kim was doing pretty much the same thing, except that she was noticing how warm and strong his hands were. They were both silent, making sure they coud hear nothing but the sounds of themselves breathing, and that was all they could hear.

Her hair, which had been plaited neatly down the back of her head and onto her back, was now a mess. The blue ribbon that nicely matched her dress and had been interwoven with the braid now stuck out at various spots, and had little tiny fuzzes everywhere from getting caught on stuff.

And Jack's pants, which had been crisp, clean, and flawless, were now covered in dirt. And he wiggled his toes; he hadn't noticed before, but on his feet, there were only fancy white dress socks. Or at least they used to be white. Brown and green, more like.

He shook his head and turned to see Kim fumbling with her hair, unbraiding it, and pulling the ribbons out and wrapping them round her wrist.

"Don't you need those to redo and retie your hair?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow at her actions.

"I know this'll sound crazy and slightly stupid, but I don't actually know how to braid." She looked down and began to play with the ribbons awkwardly.

"You know, I can't believe I'm actually about to say this," he paused running his fingers through his hair, and Kim raised her head, expecting him to finish his statement,"I know how to- how to . . . how to braid hair."

Kim laughed. "Why is it that you know how to braid?"

"Hmmm, laugh. I know how to braid because my mother taught me how to. She used to have to leave early for work, so I used to braid my younger sister's hair."

"Aw, that's so sweet . . " Kim cooed, her eyes big and mushy.

"Don't tell anyone!" he warned.

"Oh, yeah, I can tell all of my friends." Kim said sarcastically. And then, "What was the point of that statement?"

"I can braid your hair for you." he stated plainly.

Kim sighed as she untied one of the ribbons from around her wrist and plopped onto the ground with crossed legs. Jack chuckled silently and knelt behind her, taking the ribbon she offered, and began to plait her hair. He did so with quiet care, separating and adding to each section carefully, so as not to pull her hair. And just as he tied the ribbon, everything started to melt again, just like before.

They were silent this time, no screaming or shouting, Kim just rotated slightly so that she could grip Jack's hand. And she held on tightly, and he did, too.

Kim was kissing someone with soft lips. And she felt a hand slide under her shirt, when she opened her eyes. And Jack did, too. And they screamed. And they shouted. And they tried to get as far away from each other as possible. And then they heard a noise, a deep throaty growling. And this time, when they screamed and shouted, they weren't trying to get away from each other, but from the giant werewolf that was salivating right outside of the car they were both sitting in.

WOOOOOOOOHHHH! So what do you think? Pop in a review, a follow, a fav. And I shall actually update soon.
