A/N: I hope that last chapter was alright (I had to re-edit it because I accidently pasted the same thing twice.) xD Go figure. Anyway, that chapter better have been relatively pleasing considering that I stayed up til about three o'clock typing away. Why it took over three hours to type that chapter is beyond me... Thank you everyone for reading, reviewing, and favoring (whether it be me or the stories :D)

Disclaimer-This plot is miiiine! Sure, it's not really creative, but it's still mine. :D Oh, yeah, and the OCs, too.

The room that Alice led to, despite its gigantic size, somehow looked the most normal; he guessed that the other entrances to the Bizarre Room were meant to make the room look a strange angle. "They were right there by the door." Alice led him to a large pink door with a doorknob that seemed to have a face. Ceron looked around and figured out where the room had gotten its name; it really was bizarre.

"Why do I feel like a mouse?" asked Ceron with a glance at the gigantic furniture before they stopped by the snoring door.

Alice fixed him with a strange gaze. "I'm guessing that you didn't come here the way that our last visitors did."

"I didn't come through a portal of darkness, no."

Alice placed her hands on her hips. "I was referring to Donald, Goofy, and Sora."

'One out of three isn't that bad.' He informed her, "I know a Sora... kind of."

Alice smiled and clapped her hands together. "Now I understand why you know about my light. Oh, how is he?"

Ceron scratched the back of his head. "Actually, I still don't know why you can use light, but I've seen Kairi and Naminé use it, so..." He trailed off suggestively and shrugged his shoulders. "He's, er... alright." Ceron decided to examine the door before Alice attacked him with another round of questions. "The keyhole's in this door? How original."

The white rabbit Ceron had noticed in the courtyard entered the room, looked around, and scampered toward them. In one hand, he was clenching a paper while the other held onto a trumpet, "You two!" Without warning, he placed the trumpet to his mouth and blew quite loudly. Ceron, being in band, was adjusted to such a loud sound invading his ears, while Alice appeared rather shocked. The white rabbit set the trumpet down, cleared his throat, and unrolled a large piece of parchment. "Ahem, 'By order of her Royal Highness, Alice and her little... friend are subject to attending a trial for committing murder.'"

Alice gasped shrilly and Ceron smirked. "How can we go to a trial if she doesn't have any more cards?"

"She has many more than that, simple boy!" He continued to read the paper, "'If the subjects do not attend trial, they will be behead immediately.'"

"Oh, dear," mumbled Alice, shaking her head. "When must we attend?"

"Right at this moment. Follow me, now." The rabbit ordered as he picked up his trumpet and exited the room. Reluctantly, Alice and Ceron followed right behind him.

XxxxxX

"We're sure that he's in Wonderland?" Roxas asked Sora for the fifth time.

Sora heaved a sigh, "Yes, Roxas," he grumbled before tapping a button that caused the entire group to disappear.

The way that they entered Wonderland was the same as Sora's first visit. They dropped through the rabbit hole and landed safely at the bottom. "This is a... rabbit hole, you said?" Nalani asked as she looked around. It looked semi normal, but still not normal enough. It gave her a decent idea of what Ceron must have been dealing with. They walked down the hallway and stopped when they reached a large door. Sora took a step forward, but he didn't bother grabbing for the handle.

The large door opened, revealing another door, which opened, following another door, and another... After about three minutes of watching ten million doors open, a regular sized door opened and they went on through. "Whoa, we're huge!" exclaimed Stefa, ducking her head.

Beside her, Riku banged his head against the ceiling. "How do we get smaller?" Sora mustered a sheepish grin as, ducking, he walked toward a table with two bottles.

Kairi squinted at the bottles. "There's only two? How are we all supposed get smaller?"

"Don't worry, one's all we need. One makes you bigger and one makes you smaller," replied Sora as he grabbed the vial nearest him. He took one sip, and the group of them immediately turned smaller. Small was the wrong word; they turned downright tiny.

"There's a difference," noted Naminé as she looked up at the now huge table.

Nalani glanced around the room, but it was empty. "Where do you think Ceron is?"

"I hope he's with Alice," sighed Sora; no one knew Wonderland better than the little girl, and that was only because she had been trapped here for a while.

Kairi raised her eyebrows, remembering the girl from Hollow Bastion. "Alice? She lives here?"

"Where do we go first?" asked Riku, glancing up at the tall stovetop and giant teddybear.

Sora started in the direction of a doorway where a bed used to be. "Let's go to the Queen's Courtyard."

Recalling what she had learned about Sora's first journey, Stefa asked, "Sora, isn't that a bit... dangerous?" The Queen was insane, he had said.

Sora grinned and waved her off. "Her minions are cards, Stefa. I'd be afraid if we couldn't handle them. We'll be fine," he added at the petrified looks on the faces of Naminé and Kairi.

"Guys? I don't think we're going anywhere yet," noted Roxas, gesturing to the black spots on the floor that were steadily lifting themselves up to be Shadows.

Nalani groaned, "Great, more Heartless."

XxX

"You can't put us on trial for something that was done out of defense!" exclaimed Alice from the stand before the Queen of Hearts. "You ordered an attack on us for no reason!"

"Of course I had a reason to set my army on you, silly child," replied the Queen with forced sweetness.

Alice pounded her fists on the stand. "Then, what are the charges?"

A wide and sinister grin formed on the Queen's face. "I charge you with summoning all of the confounded Heartless! Perhaps if you had come to see me sooner, it wouldn't have caused all of this..."

"You haven't charged me with anything in over three years," said Alice in a voice that almost resembled a growl. From the stand beside her, Ceron glance at the little girl; she looked like she would like nothing more than to jump over the stand and throttle the queen.

The Queen slammed her heart-shaped gavel. "Is it my fault that you didn't know? I find you both guilty! Guilty of all charges! Off with their heads!"

Ceron grinned at the empty courtyard. "Looks like I really did get rid of all of your cards." Just then, about twenty cards broke through the hedges on either side of the queen. "Oh."

One of the cards, wielding an axe, came to the back of Alice's stand, holding it up in a menacing fashion. "Firaga!" A girl's voice echoed throughout the graveyard, burning the card to a crisp, and turning him to ashes on Alice's stand. Wielding her large and intricate staff, Nalani entered the 'courtroom' with a smug look on her face.

"Took you long enough," joked Ceron with some serious relief. He jumped down from the stand, and Alice did the same.

"This place is interesting," noted Nalani as the rest of the soldiers came forward. Stefa grasped her friend by the shoulders and jumped on her back, and the two of them tumbled onto the grass.

From the comfortable spot on Nalani's back, Stefa glanced up at the queen with a grin, "Who's the fat woman?" Nalani began to get up on her knees, causing her to fall onto the ground.

"Stop messing around! You are under arrest for killing a soldier," a black diamond card informed Nalani, "and you are under arrest for making jokes about her highness, the Queen of Hearts," he added to Stefa. To show how seriously they were taking the soldiers, the girls grinned with amusement.

Ceron looked to Nalani. "Where's everyone else?"

"Back in the bizarre room, taking care of the Heartless; they'll finish them off soon enough. "Firaga!" A large ring of fire surrounded five of the soldiers and burnt them to a crisp. "I almost feel bad for doing this. Almost." Alice watched as Nalani and Stefa used fire spells and Ceron cut the cards in half. They continued this until the army was gone.

"My soldiers!" gasped the Queen as she jumped out of her chair, brandishing a flamingo.

Alice turned to her saviors. "We had better go before she attempts to severe our heads with her croquet stick." They agreed and ran for the Bizarre room.

When they reached the room, Stefa asked, "That was a croquet stick?" The Heartless count had become unbelievable. From every section of the room, Shadows were forming and attacking. An army of them jumped from a painting and off of the lamps to land before them. It was probably for the best that they had returned; Sora and the others looked like they were having some trouble.

Ceron fell the Shadows with ease. "Now I finally see some Heartless in this world."

From the other end of the room, looking harassed as an army of Shadows and Neoshadows surrounded him, Sora called, "Stefa, seal Wonderland's keyhole!"

She looked wildly around the room. Even if she hadn't been the size of a mouse, the room was humongous; the keyhole could be anywhere. "What? Keyhole, where is it?"

"It's the door's keyhole," came the simple reply as Sora went back to fighting the Heartless.

Stefa groaned, "But I just asked..." She became increasingly aware that Alice was dragging her toward the pink door with a face.

Alice gestured to the door, "This door's keyhole." Stefa extended her right arm out, and a beam of light shot from the tip of Shadow Heart and entered the snoring door's keyhole.

"Stefa, watch it!" Roxas called from somewhere in the room. Like so many months ago, a greedy Shadow Heartless jumped toward her back, its claws extended...

...The Heartless was easily destroyed by a shot of light. Alice was holding her hands to her heart, a delighted smile upon her face. Once the keyhole was locked, Stefa turned toward her with a smile. "Thank you, you just saved me from a repeat performance."

Alice curtsied. "It was my pleasure!"

XxX

"Thank you all so much," said Alice to Sora and the others. They were standing in a park, a little bit away from an older girl who was sitting against a tree and reading a history book. "I'm finally free of Wonderland, and we should hopefully have no more Heartless troubles here."

Sora grinned. "It was no sweat; anything for an old friend."

"You're sure that you don't know where the people in the black cloaks went?" Roxas asked the girl once again.

She shook her head sadly. "I'm afraid not. However, if what you all said is true, they've probably gone to another world to unlock the keyhole."

"There are probably tons of worlds that are unlocked by now," sighed Riku. Stefa gave him a pat on the back.

"Well, it was a pleasure meeting you all..."

"Wait, Alice!" called Kairi. Confused, Alice turned around to face her. "We don't know what the Organization is up to, so watch yourself."

Alice nodded, smiling. "Take care of yourselves!" This time, she turned and ran toward the girl sitting at the tree, "Sister!" The girl sitting at the three looked up from her book, an angry expression upon her face.

"Alice, I told you to stay put!" scolded her sister.

Sora rested his arms behind his head. "Isn't it amazing that four years later neither of them have changed?"

Kairi nodded, "It is."

"It's probably the effects of this world, like Neverland," suggested Naminé. In the distance, Alice and her sister were beginning to walk away, but not without the Princess of Heart turning around to wave.

XxX

The group returned to the Radiant Garden, later that night. "If the Organization was after the Princesses of Heart, wouldn't they have snatched Alice?" asked Leon from his spot near the computer. Everyone was, for a change, gathered in the living room instead of the kitchen.

"Who knows? Maybe they don't know who the Princesses of Heart are?" suggested Nalani.

Stefa shook her head. "How could that be possible? Xemnas and the rest of the Organization were around when Maleficent gathered the Princesses two years ago; she even had their help in kidnapping them. No, they must know who the Princesses are."

Sora nodded his agreement, "And if Ansem - I mean, if Xehanort's heartless knew," he had to correct himself; it was still hard to break the habit, "Don't you think that Xehanort might have known, meaning that Xemnas knows?"

Ceron shrugged a little. "They could be after something else for now. Who knows? Maybe they don't even want total power."

Riku snorted a little from his spot beside Stefa, "The Organization not wanting total power? Right," he shook his head. "No. They're probably thinking that after they have hearts, power will come to them more easily. Or they might try something else completely."

Stefa was finally lost, though she was not surprised. As per usual, the talk of Nobodies confused her. "My head hurts," she groaned, resting her head against Riku.

Clearly remembering the same thing, Sora remarked, "There's a first." Riku, who was sitting beside him, somehow managed to strategically kick him at the same time as Kairi elbowed him.

Yuffie grinned. "It doesn't matter for now. You're here for a break, right? Then take one."

"I just want to get our world back to the way it was," grumbled Nalani.

For the thirteenth time, Kairi replied, "I'm sure your friends and family are fine."

Stefa blew some of her bangs out of her face as she straightened up again. "I'm not so sure. The last time Jewel's Grove was overrun by Heartless – overrun, not even destroyed – I lost my parents. With it destroyed..." Her words did nothing at all to settle either Ceron or Nalani, both of whom groaned and slumped in their seats.

"Well, she is the 'Princess of Darkness' for a reason," noted Tifa with a grim smile.

Roxas slowly stood. "We probably shouldn't be kicking it back here; we just wanted to fill you guys in on what was happening."

Tifa frowned as the others followed Roxas' example. "Leaving so soon?"

Cid slowly turned away from his computer, looking nervous. The pilot never looked nervous. Immediately, the wielders felt anxious. "Y'all might want to know something before you leave."

"What happened?" demanded Riku.

Axel, who had also been hovering near the computer mumbled, "It's not the easiest thing to say." He rubbed the back of his head. "You see... Twilight Town's been destroyed."

XxxxxX

"How many worlds is that now?" Xemnas was sitting in the meeting room, Saïx beside him.

Saïx counted on his fingers, "Twilight Town, Jewel's Grove, Land of the Dragons, and Neverland so far." He shook his head. "Hn, those Heartless are certainly taking their time."

"Hopefully we'll be meeting up with Stefa soon; I sense that if we were meet with her again, she may be a little more willing to help us." Xemnas was smiling knowingly, an evil thing to see. Saïx stared at him for a minute, but when he realized what he was talking about, he returned the smile.

"We'll have Number XIV drop a surprise visit..."

XxxxxX

For the tenth time, Roxas mumbled, "We should have sealed that keyhole while we were there." He, Sora, and Riku were riding in the Highwind. In the other Gummi ship, rightly named Princesa, was Kairi, Naminé, and Stefa.

"It's too late to change anything now," sighed Naminé through the transmission. "I'm sure Hayner, Pence and Olette are alright, but... things are getting a little suspicious." In the background, the boys could hear Kairi and Stefa arguing over Stefa's driving. "I think that we should have left one of them behind," she added in a groan.

The boys chuckled. "Nalani didn't like having to stay behind..." Sora stated, rubbing his arm where Nalani had used a fire spell out of anger.

"The Radiant Garden needs Nalani, Ceron, and especially Elie to keep an eye on things," remarked Riku.

As Stefa narrowly missed running into a meteor, Kairi demanded, "Why do you get to drive?"

"Because I have a Keyblade."

Kairi's eyes narrowed, "So do I!"

"Because I'm special."

"Oh, I'll show you special," the normally peaceful Kairi muttered as she called upon Radiant Destiny.

Naminé glanced over her shoulder with a sigh, "Uh-oh. Take care, guys. We'll meet you in Atlantica." The last thing Sora, Riku, and Roxas heard was the quiet blonde yelling at the both of them and threatening to 'turn the ship around'.

"Yikes."

XxxxxX

"I don't see why we have to stay behind," grumbled Nalani, not for the first time. She was walking with Elie around the cleaned-up Postern. Having known Quince since they were children, she was also quite familiar with Elie, his cousin and best friend.

Elie nodded vehemently, a frown on her face. "They said I have to stay behind in case there are really bad Heartless attacks. Liars!" They finally stopped their pacing and climbed onto a wall.

Nalani stamped EaKaze into the ground. "This is boring."

"Not for long," called a voice said from somewhere in the area; they both jumped off of the wall, alert and prepared to beat whoever it was into the ground.

Elie was nearly jumping up and down in her excitement to do something, like fight, "Who's there?"

"Nobody," replied the voice, amused. Elie had become relatively familiar with the voice and was quite aware that it was Reixka.

"Reixka?" she called, surprised at how calmly and kindly she spoke the name.

"Aren't we clever?" Reixka jumped off a higher part of the castle and landed before them.

Nalani raised an eyebrow. "This is Stefa's Nobody? She's nothing like her."

"I'm not a 'this'," growled Reixka at their looks of deep dislike. "Well, I'd hate to disappoint you both, but I won't be fighting today. I'm off to unlock a keyhole." She turned around and summoned a flowing vortex of darkness. "Oh, and if you see Stefa, tell her how sorry I am that we lost our home," she added with a smirk before disappearing into the portal.

Nalani clenched EaKaze a little tighter, "After her! We can't let her unseal the keyhole." She and Elie ran forward, and to their surprise, they actually made it into the portal.

XxxxxX

Stefa treaded her arms through the cool water as she glanced around. "Why do you think we landed in the sea?" Kairi, Stefa, and Sora had regained their old mermaid forms, while Riku, Naminé, and Roxas gained their first ones.

Like Sora, Roxas and Riku both had dolphin-like tails; Riku's was the same color as his eyes and Roxas' was black. Naminé, like Kairi and Stefa, had a mermaid tail only hers was white and the shells acting as a top were white. Like two years earlier, Kairi had a purple tail with a pink bra, and Stefa was all red.

"Something's probably going on," answered Sora. "Let's go see if we can find anyone." He began to swim forward, Kairi and Stefa shakily following after him, while Roxas, Riku, and Naminé completely and totally flailed around in the water.

"Hey, guys? Remember, we haven't learned how to swim yet?" Riku called after them.

Sora stopped and scratched his head. "Right... Well, I guess I better demonstrate."

A/N: I wonder if anyone caught Ceron saying 'Yeah, if you're part of one of Lewis Carroll's books.'? Leave a review, and if you understand it, I will award you a cyber brownie. :3 This chapter was short, too. Sorry. Dx
