Sora woke up with a start and could not decide whether he was still alive or not after being drowned by tea at the Mad Hatter's Domain. He was surprised that he was lying on an island made of ice and surrounded by the calm and yet ominous sea. It was night with a crescent moon with a sleeping face smoking green smokes granting light with its nightly radiance. Sora stood up and looked around and saw Donald and Goofy on the icy ground: still sleeping. Alice, however, was not around.
'Alice!' Sora cried as he tried to find her. His cries woke up Donald and Goofy who rubbed the sands out of their eyes.
'What a weird dream.' Goofy yawned. 'I dreamt we were swimming in tea with Hatter, Alice, Dormouse and Hare.'
'It wasn't a dream Goofy.' Sora told him as he scanned the area for Alice.
Donald stood up and arched his back. 'Where are we?'
'If I have to make a guess, this must be Tundraful.'
They all whirled at the direction of the voice and saw Alice, back in a her blue dress and white apron, coming out from the rocks and landing in front of Sora. Sora smiled with relief.
'I'm glad you're okay.'
Alice did not return the smile. 'After getting drowned in a foul beverage and freezing to death trying to find my way around, yes, I'm all right.'
Sora's smile fell at Alice's cold demeanour. Donald and Goofy joined them. 'So… What now?'
'Now we find Mock Turtle. Maybe he has some information about this new "train" destroying Wonderland. The question is, where is he?'
'Hey look!' Donald pointed out. They followed his finger and spotted a giant glass bottle. At a closer look, there was a giant ship with two heads of golden griffins sticking at the front. At the side of the ship was a name: HMS Gryphon. Just on the side of the glass bottle was a small crack.
Curious, the party crawled into the crack and dropped next to the ship but as they did, something hit the side of the bottle and caused another crack on the bottle. The party looked at the creature: it was a skeletal shark.
'Shipwreck Sharks.' Alice gasped as another figure appeared from the ship. The creature had a head of a cow but a body of a turtle. It wore a ship captain hat and decorative shoulder pads.
'You lot better come aboard.' The Mock Turtle urgently urged them. 'We're all doom!'
'What?' Alice asked. 'There's no hope then?' The Shipwreck Shark slammed again on the bottle.
'Oh, there's an infinite amount of hope, but none for us!' The Mock Turtle answered. 'Now, get up here!'
Sora helped Alice to climbed onto the ship and climbed in after her, followed by Donald and Goofy. Once they were all on board the ship, the Mock Turtle was shaking his head.
'Confounded beasts!' he cried. 'They're after my ship!'
Sora looked sceptical at the swarming Shipwreck Sharks. 'I'm not too sure how skeleton fish with no arms and can swim in water have any uses for a ship.'
'Maybe you're more to their taste.' Alice suggested.
'Never!' the Mock Turtle protested. 'We're almost relatives!'
Goofy whispered to Sora. 'How is a half-cow and half-turtle related to sharks?'
'Beats me.' Sora said while Donald shrugged.
'I have an idea!' the Mock Turtle announced. 'We leave this mayhem and go to Carpenter's show. It's better than a gaff. Carpenter promises what we don't take seriously can't harm us!'
Donald scratched his head. 'What?'
As they were talking, the Shipwreck Sharks were slamming vehemently against the bottle: causing the crack to widen. Alice looked up and noticed as well.
'Best dive now, Admiral, or the sharks will have us for lunch.'
'Dive?' Donald asked fearfully.
Sora and Goofy held on to the mast. 'Hang on!'
At a final attack, the giant glass bottle cracked in half and the ship rushed out of the bottle and towards a massive waterfall. Everybody held on to something as the ship came rushing down the waterfall and submerged into the water. Instead of floating back up, the ship stayed in the water like a submarine and Sora, Donald and Goofy were surprised that they could breathe underwater. Donald looked around and groaned.
'Not again…'
Goofy clapped him on his back. 'A-hyuk! Cheered up Donald! At least we're on a ship… Underwater!'
'Don't relax yet guys!' Sora warned. 'We got company.'
A school of Shipwreck Sharks were swarming towards the HMS Gryphon. Sora took hold of a cannon. 'Everybody grabbed a cannon and starts firing! Admiral, get us out of here!'
'Aye-aye!' the Mock Turtle saluted and headed towards the steering wheel while Donald, Goofy and Alice readied themselves at the cannons: Donald and Goofy on the right side of the ship and Sora and Alice on the left. The HMS Gryphon sped off with the Shipwreck Sharks at its tail. Alice loaded the cannon and Sora lighted the fuse with Firaga: firing the cannon and blasting a Shipwreck Shark. Donald and Goofy did the same thing at their side and together; the party were holding the Shipwreck Sharks at bay.
Then suddenly, the ship started swerving left and right violently: almost knocking the crew off their feet. Alice was about to fall but Sora caught her and held her to her feet. Alice looked at Sora, nodding her thanks as she let go of Sora. She then turned to the Mock Turtle.
'Mock Turtle!' she cried. 'What's going on?'
'Sorry!' the Mock Turtle shouted back. 'I'm trying to avoid those mines or we be blown to pieces! Also, those Cannon Crabs down below are not making this easier! There are some charges below deck! Opened the hatch and blast those crustacean off the sea bed!'
'I'm on it!' Alice shouted and hurried down the cabin. Despite being underwater, Sora, Mock Turtle, Donald and Goofy can hear explosions below the ship. As Alice dealt with the Cannon Crabs, Sora, Donald and Goofy continued fending off the Shipwreck Sharks as Mock Turtle steered the HMS Gryphon through a sea tunnel. Soon, the ship was back in open waters.
'We're going to make it!' Sora cried triumphantly but then, a loud crunch could be heard at the bottom of the ship. Alice came back on deck, looking worried.
'A Shipwreck Shark bit a chunk of the ship!' As soon as she said that, the HMS Gryphon was descending towards the seabed.
'We're going down!' Donald cried. 'Quack!'
'Hang on!' the Mock Turtle shouted as he tried to control the descent of the ship to no avail. The HMS Gryphon crashed sideway on top of a rock pillar and crashed further down the seabed: knocking everybody into darkness.
When Sora woke up again, he was lying in the wreckage of the HMS Gryphon, torn asunder by clashing into the many rocks. Sora slowly got up and saw that both Donald and Goofy were also waking up from the seabed. Sora waddled out of the wreckage and was horrified that Alice was lying on the seabed. Yet again, her blue dress and white apron transformed into a light turquoise coloured dress that have many markings of shellfish and jellyfish. She was barefooted and her hair was cleared away from her forehead and more flowing.
Sora scooped Alice into his arms and shook her gently, trying to wake her up. To his relief, Alice moaned softly and her eyes slowly opened: trying to clear her vision on Sora's face.
'Sora…'
'I'm here.' Sora told her softly. 'You're safe, Alice.'
Before he realised, Sora's face and Alice's were closed to one another but before they could locked lips: they separated abruptly as they heard a wailing. Before them was the Mock Turtle, crying and sobbing pitifully. Sora quickly helped Alice onto her feet as Donald and Goofy joined them to face the moaning Mock Turtle.
'My ship's a wreck, and I am, too.' The Mock Turtle sobbed.
'The admiral goes down with their ships.' Alice told him. 'In any case, I never knew you for a sailor. If memory serves, you were station master of the Looking Glass Line.'
'Oh…' Goofy joined. 'So it's a name of a train station?'
'Was.' The Mock Turtle confirmed. 'I was sacked from the railroad without the option. "Redundant", the nitwits said. Never a holiday, loyal as a bulldog. "Going in a different direction", my aunt Fanny, if I had one.'
'Gosh.' Goofy scratched his head. 'Almost everybody have an aunt called Fanny. A-hyuk.'
'It's a metaphor, Goofy.' Donald told him.
'Going off the rails, more like! Bloody disaster!' the Mock Turtle continued. 'Now, I'm shipless. The old railroad's dead, and this new thing's a monstrosity! What I don't know about it can't hurt me. Say no more. Nod's as good as a wink.' He turned to the party. 'Change the subject! We avoid speaking about the thing whose name should not be spoken.'
'Are you talking about this new train that came into Wonderland?' Sora asked. 'We need information on that.'
The Mock Turtle turned a murderous look at Sora. 'And I thought Alice here was worse! You have no respect for the suffering of others. Go ask your questions and smart remarks to Caterpillar.'
Sora was taken aback. Then he apologised. 'Sorry man, I didn't mean to hurt you.'
'His really sorry.' Alice injected for Sora. 'Please, tell us what you know about the train.'
'I'll just say we've escaped a contaminating corruption.' The Mock Turtle told them. 'Count yourselves lucky to be down here.'
'But I don't want to escape.' Alice told him. 'I want to stop it. I must stop it to save myself… And Wonderland, too.'
'Nonsense!' the Mock Turtle dismissed her. 'Speak more nonsense. Diversions rule the day. The show must go on, and so on… Speaking of shows…'
Alice looked blankly at him. 'We weren't.'
'Yes we were.' Goofy reminded Alice. 'We are going to Carpenter's show.'
The Mock Turtle nodded as Alice glared at Goofy, hoping to get more information from the Mock Turtle about the train. The Mock Turtle handed them four concerts tickets with the word "Totentanz" on it: the letter "O" replaced with a piranha. 'Here's the tickets for the show Carpenters mounting. Use it.'
Alice took the tickets from Mock Turtle. 'Thanks.'
The Mock Turtle waved her thanks aside and sat back down onto the seabed, sobbing and crying again. Alice pocketed the tickets into her apron and walked past the Mock Turtle. Sora, Donald and Goofy wanted to stay behind to comfort the Mock Turtle but seeing that it was no use and Alice was determined to continue on, they ran after her: into the unknown depths.
Alice stood with her hands on her hips. 'I never knew that Barrel Bottoms would still be here for all this years.'
After leaving the Mock Turtle, the party found themselves in the town of Barrel Bottoms: homes to fish head citizens with clothing on them. The town was made of wooden barrels and other pieces of flotsam and jetsam. In the middle of the town was a statue of a man with red standing hair and a hooked nose holding a hammer.
Sora was walking next to Alice as she and the others were walking deeper into the town. 'What do you know of this Carpenter dude?'
Alice frowned. 'Not personally: When both Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum were still… Good, they recited a poem about the Walrus and the Carpenter taking a midnight stroll on a beach and happened to chance on a group of oysters. Being predators, the Walrus and the Carpenter managed to convince the oysters to walk with them and when they got the chance, they ate every single one of them.'
Sora and Donald's faces twisted in horror as Goofy tapped his stomach. 'Mmm… Oysters…'
Alice smiled grimly. 'The walking and talking oysters, Goofy.' Goofy's face quickly turned to disgust and Alice continued. 'Although the Walrus regretted his actions and the Carpenter ate less than the Walrus, they tried to eat as much as they could. For that, I completely disliked them both.'
'But can they be trusted?' Sora asked.
Alice gave Sora a funny look. 'I would rather trust a gremlin to hold on to my personal diary than those two but if Carpenter knows more about this train, who am I to complain.'
They continued walking deeper into the town until they were in front of a magnificent theatre: bigger than any other buildings in Barrel Bottoms and decorative with many devices. On a red and white striped signboard with light bulbs surrounding it were letters that said: Dreary Lane Theatre.
Donald tilted his head. 'That's a very sad name for a theatre.'
Alice strode in with Sora, Donald and Goofy following after her as they passed through corridors carpeted in red and made from the richest wood until they reached the theatre's hall. The hall was emptied of chairs, as they were not set up yet. On stage was a walrus with long tusks and wearing a silk collar: slumbering loudly. As the group looked up, they could see that the theatre's ceilings were opened and they looked up in the open sea: above on the theatre were many sunken ships.
As they got nearer to the stage, a tall man wearing nothing but a dark brown apron and brown pant walked onto the stage. His red hair was standing up and his long nose was hooked with his pierced with many earrings. His left leg has a prosthetic leg made of iron attached to it and he was barefooted. In his right hand was a big hammer.
The Carpenter opened his opened his arms dramatically. 'Ah… Alice, and Sora, Donald and Goofy too! Delighted to see you all again! Your arrival is filled with fortunate-ality itself!'
The party looked at each other in confusion.
'Do we know this lunatic?' Sora asked his two friends: Donald shrugging and Goofy scratching his head.
'Wasn't he the guy who sold us those cat plushies a while back?' Goofy asked.
Donald face-palmed. 'That was a Moogle back on Radiant Garden, Goofy.'
'I only heard of this guy in a poem.' Alice whispered.
The Carpenter continued. 'My pregnant show… is about to pop! Its requires only medicament of your helpful-osity.'
Sora looked stricken and took a step back. 'Sorry man but I'm not into dancing.'
'I can sing!' Donald suddenly erupted into a song: absolutely off-tune.
'A-hyuk!' Goofy chuckled. 'I can…'
'Enough of that!' Alice snapped at her friends as the Carpenter jumped off the stage. She turned back to the Carpenter. 'There's a train corrupting Wonderland and we need help destroying it or restraining it.'
The Carpenter paced before them in a dramatic strode. 'Most vexatatious: no doubt. We'll address that… Ah, monstrosity directly, that's to say, eventually. Now, let's intermediate more important matters. Due to a logisterical foul up, some of the show's requisites need to be gathered.'
The Carpenter started listing. 'The munificent script needs fetching; the writer's overly imaginative and exploring several endings. Then… You will need to assemble the show's tune-deaft music and finally, gather our stars: the show's tasty… Nay: tasteful performers. You should leave now. The essentiality of haste is essential.'
Sora gave the Carpenter a funny look. 'So basically, the show is not even ready.'
'A-hyuk.' Goofy leaned forward to Donald and whispered. 'Remember that time when Horace tried to put on a show at Disney Castle and he forgot setting up the stage?'
'How can I not forget that day?' Donald chuckled.
'Why can't you assemble these things yourself?' Alice asked.
The Carpenter made all sort of excuses. 'An impresario has arrangement, ducks in a row, fish to fry, coals to Newcastle, etcetera, etcetera. Fetch the script from the writer, then we can batter or natter as the case may be.'
Alice's hands were on her hips. 'Is the writer cantankerous?'
'To a personage of your distinguished repudiation?' the Carpenter dramatically said. 'I blush at the notionallity. He's an octopus, by the by, lives by that way. Ta-ta!'
Dismissing them with a wave, the Carpenter walked backstage as Alice turned to Sora, Donald and Goofy. 'Let's get this over with.' Alice scowled and walked to where the Carpenter indicated the writer would be: Sora, Donald and Goofy following behind her.
They exited the theatre and continued on until they reached an area with giant glass bottles filled with substances that looked like black ink and giant bronze fish with lines on them. Floating in the forest of the inkbottles was a red octopus with white moustache and wearing small black top hat.
Sora wrinkled his nose and pinched it. 'PU! This place stinks! And I thought my unwashed laundry was worse!'
'It's the scent of unrecognized genius!' Octopus retorted in an Irish accent. 'So piss off!'
'More empties than a Dublin brewery.' Alice commented. 'The Carpenter sent me.'
Octopus started insulting the Carpenter. 'For starters, the Carpenter is a pusillanimous, parsimonious, pettifogging moron!'
Alice was adamant. 'That's as may be but he sent me for the script. I need…'
'Yours needs are shite!' Octopus interrupted rudely. 'I need a drink, who cares? I need those responsible for my abortive career in chains: no joy. I need to know what's love is; the world is mum! Just now, I need a dose of hide-and-seek. Find me thrice! Be quick about it and then we can deal!'
Octopus shot out an ink fog and when it dissipated, Octopus was gone.
'Well', Sora said. 'Looks like someone is having a bad day.'
Donald looked around, seeing only inkbottles. 'This is not good, he could be anywhere!'
'Not anywhere, Octopus tend to be creature of comfort.'
They all turned to where the Cheshire cat appeared, on top of a rock lodged in the seabed: grinning as usual. Alice scowled at the cat's cryptic words.
'Out with it cat!' Alice demanded. 'Be more specific about what you say!'
The Cheshire cat just grinned at Alice's temper. 'And here I thought you're smart enough to figure it out. Very well, one who spent most of his time with ink tend to hide in ink.' With that, the Cheshire cat disappeared.
Goofy scratched his head. 'Is there a big inkwell where Octopus could hide in?'
'Not exactly, Goofy.' Sora said. 'He's maybe in one of these bottles.' For Sora had noticed that the corks on each bottles could be easily be opened. Sora summoned Kingdom Key and hefted it over his shoulders like a baseball bat. 'Here goes nothing!'
He slammed Kingdom Key onto an inkbottle, shattering it and spilling its contents and something else. Octopus floated away from the broken inkbottle and looked down at Sora.
'Beginner's luck!' Octopus cried. 'You have to try harder now!'
Octopus expelled more ink and when it was cleared, Octopus was gone: hiding in another Inkbottle. For the first time since submerging underwater, Alice smiled.
'Let's indulge him.' She said and pulled out something big from her apron. It was like Carpenter's hammer but with longer handle and the head was of a horse, black in colour.
Sora was gaping at Alice's sledgehammer. 'Where did you get that?'
Alice shrugged. 'I found it when you lots were still sleeping. I found it quite useful with dealing with Ice Snarks and those hideous black things.'
Alice stepped forward and with a yell, swung the sledgehammer in a circle: smashing four inkbottles with just one swing. Sora was amazed that a girl who was quite slim with no muscles like Alice could wield such a heavy and bulky weapon. As the ink settled down in the seabed, Octopus was again revealed. He laughed.
'Very good, very good!' he laughed with mirth. 'Now find me again and earn your prize!'
Octopus squirted another ink fog and disappeared once lifetime. The party set out destroying every inkbottles in sight: Sora slashing the inkbottles with Kingdom Key, Alice smashing with her new weapon, Donald shattering inkbottles with shards of ice and Goofy ramming his shield into inkbottles but when the ink settled down, Octopus was nowhere to be seen.
Alice looked around furiously. 'Damn it! Where is he?'
'Don't tell me he cheated!' Donald quacked and threw a tantrum.
'Look!' Goofy pointed at a floating platform near them: there stood a lone inkbottle.
Alice put the Hobby Horse back into her apron and took out the Pepper Grinder. 'I'm in a mood for peppered octopus!'
Alice grinded and peppercorns shot out of the grinder: putting holes in the inkbottle and shattering it. The ink dissipated and the exposed Octopus floated back down towards the party.
'It's all in the game: a fair cop.' Octopus said. 'You've won. You're a good sport. And no one died. Join me in my library. Unlike some, I don't welsh.'
Octopus led Alice, Sora, Donald and Goofy to a room near to where all the inkbottles used to be. The library was filled with books, chests and manuscripts scattered all over the floor. Octopus floated next to a desk and scribbled something down on it.
'The Carpenter commissioned a song and dance number on mortality.' Octopus told them. 'Art and good sense be damned! He demands mirth, silliness, and restrained debauchery all around. Walrus will do a hero turn as Death.'
'There will be a hero in Carpenter's play?' Sora looked up in interest.
'Aye!' Octopus confirmed as he held the script in one of his tentacles. 'I'll bring the script to the theatre. You lots be on your way now.' One of the doors opened to another area. 'No doubt Carpenter's got you collecting piscine divas for the musical portion. The man rarely hires the proper talent. Some fish can sing, but not all.'
The party waved goodbye to the Octopus and walked out of the library: where they heard an awful sound. They ventured further and met a dark blue transparent fish shaped like a glass bottle with protruding eyes: moaning terribly. Alice, Sora, Donald and Goofy approached the Music Fish.
'I'm not terribly musical.' Alice admitted. 'But… You seem out of tune.'
'Somebody we know.' Sora giggled and Goofy joined him. Donald looked at them suspiciously.
'What's that suppose to mean?'
The Music Fish defended himself. 'It's not my fault. I can't hear my notes. The pipes are obstructed.'
'I can see that.' Alice interrupted him. 'Why not do something about it?'
'And endanger my vocal chords?' the Music Fish protested. 'You might do it for me.'
'Why can't anyone besides us do anything by themselves?' Sora asked in exasperation.
Alice looked at him. 'This reminds me of the asylum. Something must be stopping the instruments from playing. Since there are the percussions, wind & brass and strings, it be better if split into three groups. I will take care of the woodwind and brass.'
'I will do the drums.' Sora said.
'That will leave the strings to me and Goofy.' Donald said and Goofy clapped his hands.
'Let's meet back here once we get those instruments playing again.' Sora said as they went their separate ways. Sora walked into the cavern where the drums were stationed and was surprised that a black substance was stopping the percussion from playing. More surprising that what appeared to be white children's face popping out of the black substances.
As Sora got nearer, a black substance appeared on the seabed and it grew into something big: a blob made out of the same substance with three white heads on its body. Behind the creature's back were steam pipes and its' only had one arm. Supporting it were four legs and what looked like small white arms were shielding the three faces.
The creature reached for its back and pulled out a fireball and threw it at Sora who dodged it with a dodge-roll. The creature threw another one and Sora ducked. Then it threw the third fireball but Sora was ready for it this time.
'Fore!' Sora swung Kingdom Key and hit the fireball back to the creature: breaking the white arms. The creature became infuriated and with steam rushing out from its pipes, charged towards Sora who dodged just on time. Sora then sprinted on the ball of his feet and slashed one of the faces: making it dropped onto the seabed. Angered, the creature swung its arm but Sora ducked and stabbed Kingdom Key into the second face: making the creature screamed in pain. When he pulled out his key-blade, he also pulled out the face. Sora quickly pointed Kingdom Key at the last face.
'Firaga!'
Fire shot out from the key-blade and blasted the face off the creature's body: burning to a crisp. The creature moaned loudly and it melted into the seabed, leaving a pool of the black substance behind. Sora smiled and turned his attention back to the black substance that covered the drums. One looked at it and Sora could tell the substance was really hard. Then shrugging, he pointed Kingdom-Key at the hardened substance and shot an arrow of light at it. Immediately the substance dissipated and the two tentacles behind the drums started pounding on them: sending sounds through the pipes and back to Music Fish.
Sora smiled and started miming that he was drumming. 'Oh yeah! Hear those drum beats!'
Still beating an imaginary drum, Sora happily walked back to Music Fish.
'Firaga!' Donald shouted as he pointed his wand and it shot out fire: meeting with an Ice Snark's icy breath and turning into mist.
Goofy blocked a tail whip by another Ice Snark and uppercut it in its jaws with his shield: knocking the creature out cold. Another Ice Snark charged at Goofy but Donald quickly pointed his wand at it.
'Blizzaga!'
An ice beam shot from Donald's want and froze the charging Ice Snark in mid-air, which Goofy shattered into a million pieces. Donald quickly brought his wand up and caught the Ice Snark who was attacking before it could chew Donald out with its sharp teeth. Donald struggled to push the Ice Snark away from him but Goofy's shield hit the Ice Snark in its temple and it lay on the seabed, unmoving. Donald looked up at Goofy.
'Thanks Goofy.'
Goofy smiled. 'A-hyuk. No problem.'
Donald then walked to the strings, which was covered in a black substance. 'This looks very hard. It won't be easy to crack it open.'
'Let me try!' Goofy offered and holding his shield up, ran towards the strings and rammed his shield into the black substance: shattering it. Once the black substance was gone, the strings started playing by themselves: sending sounds through the pipes. Donald made a face and tried to cover his ears.
'Quack! And I thought my nephews' playing were worst! This is awful!'
'A-hyuk!' Goofy chuckled. 'Maybe this is Contemporary music?'
'No, it is not, Goofy.' Donald said and walked away. 'Come on, Sora and Alice are probably waiting for us.'
Goofy followed behind Donald. 'Hey Donald, do you think Alice and Sora are still in love with each other?'
Donald was startled at Goofy's words but quickly defended Sora and Alice. 'Of course not! Sora is in love with Kairi and Alice is mature enough to understand that. No matter whether she is losing her sanity again, she won't push it.'
Goofy nodded contentedly and started whistling, following the strings' playing, while Donald muttered under his breath so that Goofy could not hear him.
'I hope.'
Alice was on her feet as two Cannon Crabs lighted the fuse on their right claw, which were cannons. In her hands was the Umbrella. Both crabs fired at the same time and Alice opened the Umbrella: deflecting the cannonballs and sending them back to the Cannon Crabs. The cannonballs blasted the Cannon Crabs off their feet and onto their shells: the giant crustaceans struggling to get up. Alice quickly pulled out the Hobby Horse and with a cry, slammed the Hobby Horse onto both crabs: smashing a hole into their underbelly and killing them instantly.
Satisfied the Cannon Crabs were no longer a threat to her, Alice lifted the Hobby Horse again and slammed onto the black substance that was covering the woodwind and brass: smashing the substance to shards. Once they were uncovered, the woodwind and brass started playing again: sending music through the pipes to Music Fish.
Alice grimaced as she put back the Hobby Horse into her apron. 'I've heard children's snoring more pleasant than this.' Then she looked down and was shocked that she was covered in green blood from the Cannon Crabs. 'Oh my… I'm in a mess! Now I understand why mother was reluctant to eat crabs in one of those fancy restaurants.'
Alice pulled out a cloth and started wiping the green blood from her face and dress. What would Sora think of her if she…
Alice stopped cleaning and realised what she was thinking. Why would Sora think of her? He was already married to another woman. And yet…
Alice held to where her heart was and felt it was racing. She was still in love with Sora. From a very long time since Sora first came to Wonderland, he was the first male friend to speak to and none of the boys in the real world were as funny as him. Then when she lost her sanity, it was him again who helped her. Alice admitted that without, Alice would still be lost and be tormented by the Red Queen and the Jabberwocky. Now, he was back: helping her to recover her lost memories and save Wonderland.
Alice hugged herself: despite not involved in any romantic relationships due to her time in the asylum, she could tell that Sora may have feelings for her: romantic ones. Alice wondered if there was a way to convince Sora to stay in Wonderland with her once Wonderland was safe again. They will be happy together: protecting Wonderland together and raising a family…
Alice shook her head firmly to stop her musing. No, Sora loved Kairi and Kairi loved him. There was no way Sora would abandoned Kairi for her. He was not the two-timing bastard that all men were in Alice's life. That was what made Sora so… Attractive.
Sighing, Alice cleaned herself up as much as she could before heading back to Music Fish: eager to get away from the terrible music she had to endure.
