Pairing: Alice x Cheshire

Rating: T just to be safe.

Summary: What if Alice decided to stay in Wonderland? What would happen? My version of Alice: Madness Returns ending.

Disclaimer: I do not own Alice, you snooping lawyers.

Enjoy mah peeps!

The sunrays were brushing against her cheeks. But how? Was she not in a cave? Underground?

Such were the musings of Alice.

She rubbed her eyes, and managed to open her hazy eyes. Clear blue sky, golden sun. Then she patted the grass next to her.

How?

Just as that thought ran through Alice's head, a figure caught her eyes.

She stood up and brushed off the dirt from her now tattered and torn dress. Whatever, it suited her, didn't it?

''I see you have awoken from your slumber.''

A little giggle came form Alice. Something, which we haven't heard in a long time.

Cheshire looked at her. He knew she would ask.

''Erm, Cheshire, how am I here?''

He smiled. Cheshire knows his Alice well. Then a deep blush dusted his cheeks.

''After we...'' he trailed off.

Alice too had tomato red face by now. It wasn't that they did not enjoy it, it was just... Well, to be blunt, they were too shy.

''I kind of...The glass just...Cracked..''

''Uhuh..''

Cheshire had mistaken that little uhuh as a dissapointment sound.

''B-But I have your required vile!'' Why did he stutter? It was not a part of his personality

Alice's eyes got as wide as saucers. Was she going to finally be able to get her body and stay forever?

''O-oh..''

Nobody had explained how it works, so she assumed she drinks the vile, get teleported back to the real world and then takes her body.

Nodding as thanks, Alice corked open the bottle and took a wiff of the smell. Ugh, the smell was enough to make her vomit.

Cheshire chuckled at her antics and gave her a small smile.

''Now or never Alice.'' said the woman to herself.

She placed the viles opening on her lips and took a big chug. The contents flowed down her throat, burning it as it goes along. But did she have a choice?

A wave of dizzyness hit her, and she was out like a light.

Then suddenly, there she was! Back at the orphanage!

A cold shiver ran down Alice s spine. It was still creepy.

''Focus'' muttered Alice.

''Oh I m sure you will'' said a voice.

That voice! She would know it anywhere!

''N-No!'' stuttered Alice ''Y-You should not be here!''

''Oh, but I am Alice!''

His evil laugh sent shivers of disgust throught her body.

He advanced infront of her, hands ready to grasp around her neck. To force the life out of her.

Alice had regained enough to dodge and escape. Then she turned around and rammed her Blade swiftly into his back. Black blood began to pour from the wound. Bumby fell to the ground, numb as a doll.

She took off to her room. With every step she took, it seemed like the hallways twisted and turned. Like a maze. A deadly one.

Rose thorns sprouted from the wall, making the hallway very narrow. The thorns pierced through her skin, reminding her the days of the Asylum. When the doctors injected medicine into her.

But blood did not spill from them. Alice never understood why.

For what seemed like eternety, Alice ran through the maze, looking for her room.

LOOK! THERE! IN THE DISTANCE! AT THE END ALICE! boomed Cheshire s voice loud and clear in her mind.

It was there!

The woman dashed to it with great speed, wainting to finish this once and for all!

That was, until...

''Aliceeee...'' teased a voice. A voice she knew too well for her liking.

The Jabberwocky.
