Fun Fact: When I created this story in my head, I had all of the intentions of it becoming a full fledged anime. This can somewhat be seen in the atmosphere I have provided, atmosphere being music. Unfortunately, due to my horrible skills of drawing and potential for zero reception, I have taken to writing this story instead.

Disclaimer: The following chapter contains explicit characters and locations from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Please be aware that I do not own any of these characters or locations, and am only using them to make an entertaining story.

1. Kingdom Hearts Welcome to Wonderland (Any Option)

2. Kingdom Hearts To our Surprise (First Option)

The last time Solid had gone through the portal, he had appeared in a grassy field, with the air blowing against him slightly and a river slowly moving down the stream. It was peaceful.

So it was with great surprise that Solid stepped on the other side of the portal to see no ground at all. Instead, he began an immediate plummet from his spawn point, down a narrow space for what seemed to be an eternity.

He had never experienced falling before. How it felt to be without feet on the ground. As he fell, he felt that he could still do things normally as if he were still on the ground. He could blink with his eyes, breath through his nose, swing Starlight around without a care. Something inside of him was moving very fast, and in turn made him feel very uncomfortable. The only thing that wasn't very possible to do anymore was walk, which lead to the conclusion that without a stable ground underneath his feet, Solid could not walk.

Speaking of the ground, Solid patiently looked down beneath him. The ground was nowhere in sight, just a empty darkness that seemed to go on and on.

Wait, darkness!?

Aimed beneath his feet, Solid casted a Firaga in an attempt to light the darkness below him with fire. For a brief second, this stopped the descent almost to a complete halt, and the boy felt himself being pushed upwards from the momentum used in casting the spell. But beneath him, the spell he casted suddenly exploded into an array of red and orange. It had hit something, and a second later, Solid figured out what that was. The ground.

Fortunately, the push Solid had given himself was enough to break his fall to the point that his legs didn't break the moment he collided with the floor below. His knees however did buckle, and the keyblade wielder fell to the ground, Starlight bouncing out of his hands.

"Hey, you gotta be careful there. Letting go of your keyblade is one of the worst things you could possibly do!"

Facing forward, Solid found himself practically face to face with Chirithy, who had appeared at some point and was probably waiting for his descent to end. "But its not all that bad." The cat gleamed. He jumped to the side so that Solid was facing Starlight. "All you have to do is re-summon your keyblade back to your hand again. Its exactly as if you were summoning it from nothing, give it a try!"

With an outstretched hand, Solid did as he was asked. In a heartbeat, Starlight disappeared from sight. And in the next heartbeat, it reappeared again right back into the boy's hands. He was nearly caught off guard by the speed of it coming back, and he almost dropped it again. Chirithy could only chuckle.

"Well come on! The world's waiting for you champ!"

Using Starlight as a support, Solid slowly pulled himself off of the ground and back onto his two feet. They still felt sore however, the landing did not fair too well on his fragile knees and feet.

Chirithy saw this. He pondered for a moment before snapping his fingers. "You know, there's a spell for healing injuries as well. Its called Curaga."

"Curaga?" Solid repeated confusingly. All these spell names made no sense, and it was a bother that he was still learning more even now.

"Yep, Curaga! All you have to do is raise your keyblade into the air like you're using Thundaga, except instead of strength in your heart, put kindness in your heart. You're feel better in no time!"

With no reason to say anything else, Solid did as he was asked. Immediately, a green light began surrounding Solid, alongside a few other inanimate objects such as flowers. Instantly, a warm refreshing feeling poured into Solid, not even necessarily through his mouth or nose. It was a calming sense of rejuvenation, and it somehow was enough to remove Solid's injuries, so that he could stand as he pleased.

"Nice work!" Chirithy congratulated before doing a backflip. "And you know, if you used Curaga on a Heartless, they'll take damage while you simultaneously heal yourself. Doesn't that sound amazing?"

"Y-Yeah, it does." Solid smiled. Chirithy tilted his head to the side.

"Hey, if you ever feel overwhelmed, please let me know. I'm your mentor, I'm here to help you. You got that?"

An affirmative nod was enough for Chirithy to know that the boy understood, and he was ready to go. With Starlight in hand and injuries gone, the keyblade wielder took his first few steps out into this new world.

It only took a few seconds however before he ran into a dead end. As it turned out, he was somehow in a bizarre room with strange patterns encompassing the floor, walls, and roof. The only type of decoration was a table in the middle of the room. And the only way out seemed to be a small door at one of the walls.

Yes, very small door. It wasn't even as large as his foot. But there was no other way out.

Maybe it'll do something if I poke it?

Timidly and uncertainly, Solid slowly moved his hand to the small door. Chirithy had told him that opening doors involved the twisting of the knob, so it only made sense to start there. Hopefully it would open.

"Looking for a way out, I suppose."

That was not what Solid was expecting. The door had suddenly spoken to him. Chirithy never said doors could do that.

The door yawned, as if waking up from a nap, pursed its lips together, then continued speaking. "Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassable."

Solid blinked a few times, then knelt down so that he was eye level with the door. "Then how do I get in? There's no other way out."

"Why surely, there's a way out of everywhere, is there not?" The door asked, almost playfully. Solid took a few glances around the room he was in, looking for some other exit. None to be seen. The door yawned again. "Well, there was a curious girl like you who visited earlier. Why don't you talk to her?"

"A curious girl?" Solid asked, repeating the term. "Well where is she?"

"Where is she, you ask?" The door adequately repeated. "Why, on the other side. Naturally."

"The other side of the door." The boy deadpanned. He wasn't smart, but this didn't make sense. "Then let me through so I can get to her." As he said that, he extended out his hand again.

"No no no." The door scowled, making its intentions clear. "As I said, you're simply much too big."

"Then how do I get through?"

"Hmmmmm." The door began to think out loud. "Of course, there's always another way."

Solid shook his head. "What other way?"

"Hmmmmm." As the door continued to think, Solid heard a small noise behind him, almost like a short pop. When he turned around, something caught his eye on the table. It looked clear, he could see right through it. But there was something inside it, it looked almost liquid like, similar to water.

"Why don't you try the bottle on the table?" The door suddenly asked. It was almost as if the door was playing a game with Solid or something. "Just read the directions, and directly you'll be directed in the right direction."

Solid wasn't necessarily paying attention to the door's unusual form of talking. Between Doc, Chirithy, and this door, there were some interesting people in the worlds.

From out of nowhere it seemed, a Solider had strutted into the room. Solid hadn't even heard it come in, but now that he knew it was there, he could hear its clanking as it stepped one foot at a time towards the table. It had its eyes set on the bottle that had magically been placed there. But its importance was apparently key. With the assistance of Starlight, Solid began to fend off the higher tiered Heartless from the table. With a few Thunder Raids, the Soldier was done and out. Before another Heartless could sneak into the blocked off room unexpectedly, Solid snagged the bottle.

"The instructions say to drink a certain amount." Solid read. "But I don't know these measurements. Meh, it looks just like the water that Chirithy showed me. So...I just put it into my mouth and-."

As Solid began drinking the strange liquid, he started feeling unusual. In a sense that the things around him felt off. As if, everything was growing larger around him. Even the bottle in his hand, it started feeling heavier and heavier. Even it was looking bigger than before.

It was as if he was falling again. He was getting closer and closer to the floor than he had before, and further and further away from the roof. It was then that Solid realized that he was unable to hold onto the bottle any longer. With a huff, he let go of it. It hardly fell too far up fortunately, so it did not break.

A moment past. Solid looked back at his surroundings. Everything around him had gotten bigger. The table, the walls, the bottle. Everything.

"Huzzah, it appears you mastered the game of drinking from a bottle." The door congratulated. Its voice was much louder than before. And to Solid's amazement and horror, the door was now bigger than him as well. "What you have just done is shrunk many a times your size." The door explained. "And now that you are no longer bigger than big, you are free to pass so long as you have a key."

"A key?" Solid mumbled. Fortunately, Starlight had also shrunk with him. With eager steps, Solid walked towards the door and attempted to insert Starlight into the keyhole of the door.

"My word, the key works." The door remarked. "You may pass."

A click confirmed to Solid that the door was now open. With a small push with his hand, the door opened along, allowing passageway for Solid to proceed. Completely unsure of this world's mechanics, and also kinda unsure as to how he 'shrunk many a times his size', he moved along passed the weird room.

(2)

The other side of the door was practically a complete contrast from the room Solid was just in. Beyond the door was an array of bright colors, beyond that of the dark yellow paint that encompassed the previous room. The yellow sun shined brightly down on Solid, and it was almost as if he could feel more of the heat of the sun down on his skin than any of the past worlds. It may have had to do with his short size absorbing more heat.

Beneath him was brown particles. It was dirt, similar to Dwarf Woodlands, only in this case it was much closer up so that Solid could see each individual particle that made up a patch of dirt. To the sides of Solid was large green sprouts that shot up to the sky. It was grass, also heightened due to Solid's short size. And in front of Solid was another batch of colors. Large flowers was what they were, but Solid had no idea. To him, they were large patches of blue, purple, and white all in separate cloves.

Also in front of Solid was strange creatures that were moving around. They were green like plants, but they had a face that resembled a Heartless. Though they were rooted to the ground, they shot seeds out of their mouths at fast paces. It confirmed to Solid their evil natures, and he began to fight as many as he could. He learned through traveling in Wonderland that they were called 'Dire Plants'. They were a species of Heartless that didn't move around freely, and instead sucked away nutrients from plant life to wilt them away. The most effective way to deal with them was to use Firaga. Apparently, plants weren't a big fan of fire.

Despite having heard rumors that a girl was wandering around somewhere, Solid didn't see a single person. It was all Dire Plants and Soldiers, and they were everywhere. From the dirt to the plants to even on a few rosebuds, they appeared where they wished and did what they wanted. But Solid dealt with as many as he could. Firaga was very unique in that in only burned what it hit, so the other plant life was safe. And whenever Solid took one too many hits, the assistance of Curaga kept him going longer.

There were many times where Solid was unable to progress on the dirt. He had to use leaves that were drooping down from water that had fallen from the sky to climb on top of flowers to progress further. And no matter how high or low he climbed, there was a Heartless willing to challenge the keyblade wielder. There were times when Solid began to feel fatigue. The combination of the sun and the consistent battling was tough work. Plus there was minimal rest in between worlds. But Solid wasn't one to give up easily.

If I was created to serve light, then I cant fail light. I have to do what I can, no matter what.

"Hey, if you ever feel overwhelmed, please let me know. I'm your mentor, I'm here to help you. You got that?"

Chirithy's words came back into Solid's head. A mentor was someone who helped their pupil achieve the best that they could achieve. It was natural that Chirithy wanted to have Solid's back in case things got rough. But Solid wanted to prove that he was capable.

I'm strong. Darkness can't hold me down. I'm strong.

"Why, hello there."

(1)

Before Solid had even realized it, he had fallen out of reality whilst thinking to himself. A voice in front of him was enough to snap him out of it. It was then that he realized that he was somewhere he wasn't expecting to be. Instead of dirt, grass, and plants, he was now in a forest of some sort. Signs were littered across the ground, and they always pointed to either 'this way' or 'that way'.

And in front of him was a girl. She was shorter than Solid, but not short like Doc was. She seemed almost child like in her appearance, not that he would know what that was. But her sense of refinery in the way she stood, it gave an elegant preposition of the girl in question.

"Oh." Solid blinked, snapping himself back into reality. "Hi there."

"My name is Alice." The girl smiled, giving a small curtsy in respect. "What is your name?"

"Its Solid." The keyblade wielder answered. "You must be the little girl that the door was talking about earlier."

"Oh?" The refined girl seemed to be confused for a moment. Solid attempted to mimic her facial expression, wondering if it was a familiar custom in the world. Then, Alice suddenly gave a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness." She spoke, a smile back on her face. "I was afraid you would speak in riddles, just like everyone else."

Riddles? Solid was completely unsure of what the word meant. He would have to ask Chirithy later.

"If I may ask." She spoke again, her blue eyes staring into Solid's eyes. "You wouldn't happen to have seen a white rabbit recently, have you? I've been looking everywhere for him."

White...Rabbit? This girl is very weird.

In an attempt to seem reasonably sane, Solid gave a reasonable answer. "No, no I haven't. I'm sorry."

"Oh dear." Alice sighed. "I do wonder where he could have gotten off to."

"I'm late! I'm late! I'mlateI'mlateI'mlate!"

From behind Solid, there was a voice. And with a voice, as Solid had learned by now, was a person. He turned around...and was practically knocked to the ground by an unusual creature moving at an alarming rate right past him. As it past by, the first thing Solid was able to note was its big feet. Then as it got further and further away, he saw its ears were unusually big, and it was carrying something round and yellow in color. It was wearing something red, but Solid couldn't exactly make out what it was. What he could make out however was the consistent yelling the creature was making.

"No time to say hello, goodbye! I'm late I'm late I'm late!"

And with that, he was out of sight. The creature had disappeared beyond a hill that seemed to lead out of the forest. Perhaps the rabbit was late because it, like Solid, had absolutely no idea what to make of the large amount of pathways that could be taken.

The creature seemed to spark a reaction in Alice. She took a few steps forward, then called out in the direction the creature ran. "Oh, that was him! Mr. Rabbit, please wait!"

Before Solid could say anything, Alice was already running after the creature, now presumably the white rabbit she was just talking about. For a small girl, Alice seemed to run relatively fast. Solid was about to give chase, but was practically halted in place by yet another voice.

"Lose something? Your way, perhaps?"

This instant was different however. Upon turning around, there was nobody in sight. But somebody made a sound, had asked a question. They were nearby, but they were hiding. But the Heartless never spoke, let alone acknowledge anybody for any reason other than to attack. So Solid wasn't entirely concerned, just confused.

"Not necessarily." Solid answered to the emptiness of the area. "I'm just looking everywhere I can."

"Then are you looking for an answer?" The voice called out again. "I've lots of those."

The voice was playful, as if teasing Solid with confusion and mischief. It was like the voice wanted Solid to find it, but at the same time not. Like fishing with the wrong bait. Of course, Solid would never understand that analogy, but it concerned him not.

At least until Solid caught a glimpse of something behind him. But when he looked for further detail it was gone. For a bit at least, in about a second something was in the corner of his eye. But when he tried to follow it, it would disappear.

This went on for a while. Every time Solid was more and more certain that he would catch whatever was messing with him directly behind him, he would be rewarded with failure. Until finally, Solid had enough. Allowing Starlight to form in his hand, Solid swung sideways at whatever was messing with him in an attempt to immobilize it. But when Solid was sure he made contact, whatever it was disappeared.

"Hey now, there's no reason to get so angry." The voice suddenly teased again. "The questions don't matter, you know. All answers here have lots of questions. You just have to know whats right to answer, and whats wrong to answer."

"Can I see your face at least?" Solid asked impatiently. This whole back and forth was bothering him.

But there was no response. No voice, nothing in the corner of his eye, nothing. It was as if whatever was following him had just disappeared. Instead, Solid looked behind him to see Chirithy instead.

"If I had to guess." Chirithy mused. "That was probably the Cheshire Cat. Local jester of the parts. Jester, being someone who has nothing better to do than to be crazy."

"I don't like him." Solid grumbled. "Wait Chirithy, aren't you a cat as well?"

"Yes, in a sense." Chirithy answered. "But in no way am I related to that thing. I'd have to plunge myself into deep insanity to become something like him."

The grey cat did a back flip, as if to make sure that Solid's attention was still on him. "Anyways, I'm starting to think bringing you to this world may have been a bad idea. You probably shouldn't have been witness to at least half of the things that this world marvels in, if not more. Especially on your first day, no less! It would ruin your sense of perception towards what reality really is."

"Reality?"

"Yes, reality. This world is different from most other worlds in that it..." Chirithy paused for a moment, trying to find a proper way of explaining. "Hmmmm...ah! That it harbors different mechanics than other worlds. You won't see talking doors, for example, in almost any other world. Well, doors that are naturally doors I guess. Potions don't alter your size, and magic doesn't try to take advantage of your small yet able to grow brain. This world is bizarre in that sense, and I rather you didn't have to bear witness to it this early on."

Solid blinked for a few moments. Everything Chirithy was saying was slowly making sense. The worlds were different in format, many made sense, but few didn't. And this was a world that didn't make sense. "But." Solid spoke up. "If I can get a sensible head and grow my brain a bit more, I'll be ready for this world later, right?"

"Hmmm? Yeah, of course! For now though, I suggest we stay away from here for a little bit and try a few other worlds first. Then when you're ready, we can come back!" Chirithy exclaimed.

"I would like that." Solid smiled. "Because the Heartless weren't that difficult here, and I want to help that little girl as soon as possible. Because...she seems lost as well."

"Number one." Chirithy grinned, going full out lecture mode. "I could tell you were struggling near the end. Remember what I told you about not pushing yourself too much. And number two, I think that's absolutely commendable of you. Wanting to help other people in need for any reason at all so long as they walk the path of light is exactly what a keyblade wielder is supposed to do. And I'm glad you've already got that mindset!"

Even Solid was grinning now. He was both congratulated and scolded at the same time, and he wasn't sure what face to have. So he simply gave the same face as his mentor.

After Chirithy was done giving Solid a few pointers on how to better himself while fighting Heartless, it was time to head out.

"There's one more world I'd like us to visit before we go back to Daybreak Town, if that's alright with you." Chirithy smiled, nudging Starlight a few times. Solid didn't have to be told twice. With a raise of his keyblade, he blasted the path in front of him to create a portal to a brand new world. After all that had happened since he first ran into Alice, Solid had become well rested enough to continue going forward.

With confident steps, Solid stepped into the portal, Chirithy right behind him. The portal closed behind him as easily as it had opened.
