Anna stares at Crystalmaiden62's picture of her and Riku, blushing slightly.

Crystal: Oh, I see you found it.

Blair: It's cute, I like it.

Anna: You only like it because it's not with you and your guy.

Crystal: Guys. We have a new chapter to open here. I need to do the disclaimers.

Anna and Blair: Fine.

Disclaimers: I don't own Kingdom Hearts and some of these scenes, are from the manga. I only own Anna and Lunar Wish. Well, hope you like it and please, no flames.

Chapter 4: Wonderland

Anna, come on wake up. I opened my eyes to see blue eyes and short red hair staring back at me.

"What the?" I sat up and looked around to see no one there. But I'm sure Kairi was there; I'd know those eyes and hair anywhere. Seriously, what's going on here? First I hear Kairi, now I can see her somehow! What'd going on here? Did she go into my heart instead of Sora's? But that's can't be.

Yeah, I would've known if she was with me inside your heart. Lunar said, sounding just as confused as me. I really need to see why this is happening. I think I know why though.

"Then why don't you tell me? I thought you said you won't hide stuff from me?" I argued, getting up.

Well, you would've needed to have something to cause this so I really need to check if it's happened without us knowing.

"Well, okay then. When will you look into it?"

After the next world, I need to check on this before anything major happens. Lunar said as I raised my eyebrow.

"What do you need to check anyway?" I asked, as I walked out of my room.

You'll see, I need a sign to point me in the right direction for this. I sighed and walked to the cockpit. Well, at least she'll look into it. I just need to worry if I kind of spill that I can hear Kairi's disembodied voice to Sora and the others. Boy, Sora will really be angry if that happens. Suddenly the gummi ship lurched a bit and I nearly fell.

"What the?" I ran to the cockpit to see Donald pushing Sora away from the controls and Goofy clutching his seat in fright. "What happened?"

"Sora wanted to fly the gummi ship and nearly crashed us into a Heartless ship." Goofy said, as Donald grumbled and Sora sat down in his seat.

"Hey, I could've flown if someone has just let me!" Sora glared at Donald and I couldn't help but sweat drop a bit. I honestly don't blame Donald for not letting Sora drive. He has no experience wit this gummi ship or any spaceship and with him being so hyped up to explore, it's not a good thing.

Typical Sora, it's not like the boats we use. I heard Kairi sigh in my head and I shrugged. She knows Sora more than me. Wait, did she just hear my thoughts?

"So Donald, when are we going to arrive?"

"Right now, look." Sora and I rushed to the window to see a familiar looking world and I'm very eager to go to.

"Come on! Please hurry!" I cheered as Sora grinned at me.

"See, you're just as excited as me."

"I can't help it! I wanted to go there!" I cheered as Sora and I high-fived and Donald parked near the world.

"So what world is this?" Goofy asked, getting up.

"Wonderland and you might want to be careful when you jump off of gummi shop though." I said as Sora looked shocked.

"Wait, we're jumping out of the ship? Aren't we still in the sky?"

"Oh, don't worry." Donald said as he and Goofy smiled, opening the door to the gummi ship. "Just watch you step."

"Hey guys! Look down!" Sora yelled and the two looked down to see nothing holding them up. Well, yeah because we're still in mid air! Goofy and Donald fell and we managed to hold up but ended up falling too. The fall didn't last very long though: thank god. Soon after we started falling, we appeared in the little downward tunnel that Alice fell through and we just floated down. I was really tempted to sit on a rocking chair as we passed by it but I remembered we have a job and sadly let it pass by as Goofy got comfy and seemed to lay down to sleep as we floated down. Well, Goofy woke up when he landed with a thud to the ground.

"Oh my fur and whiskers! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" I turned and jumped out of the way of the White Rabbit as he came running out at high speeds to the door at the end of the weird hall, yelling at what will happen when he's late.

"Wonder what's wrong him 'em." Goofy said getting up.

"Let's go after him to find out. He looked scared." Sora said and ran off after the rabbit.

"Sora, wait up!" Sora opened the door at the end of the hall to see more doors getting smaller and smaller every time we opened a different door to the point we the last door opened we needed to crawl in. As we got inside, there was no sign that the White Rabbit even came through until Sora gasped and we looked down to see a very tiny White Rabbit the size of my fist running to the small door at the other end of the room.

"How did he get so small?" Sora asked, examining the door with us looking over his shoulder.

"No, you're just simply too big." The Door Knob said.

"Argh! It talks!" Donald gasped as the others jumped back a little. The Door Knob just yawned as if he was used to this.

"Must you be so loud? You woke me up."

"Good morning." Goofy said, politely.

"Good night! I need a little bit more sleep." The Door Knob yawned, going to return to him nap.

"Wait! What do we have to do to grow small?" Sora asked, kneeling down to the Door Knob.

"Why don't you try the bottles over there?" We turned to the table to see eight bottles, four marked in blue and the others marked in red.

"Hm…" Sora examined the bottles as I looked to the bed on the side next to the little door to see a little opening behind the bed on the same wall of the tiny door with the now sleeping Doorknob.

"Hey, guys over here." I pointed to the little hole. "Goofy, can you help me push this?"

"Sure." Together, Goofy and I pushed the bed into the wall and some how fused with it to reveal the little hole in the wall.

"Hey Anna, look at us!" I heard a squeaky voice and I turned to see Sora and Donald the side of my fist. "We shrunk!"

"Sora! Donald!"

"It's these potions, they make you shrink! Now we can go through the door!" Sora cheered, mixed between awkward and amazed. "Still, the outside world is so mysterious!" I couldn't hear Donald but I sighed and too one blue marked bottle to read on the label, 'drink me'.

"I wonder if it does taste like cherry tart." I thought out loud and looked to Goofy but he wasn't there.

"That was good!" I looked down to see Goofy was already small with his bottle near him already.

"Come on, Anna! We have to go."

"Alright, give me a second." I said, and took an experimental sip. "Mmm . . . taste like strawberry cake." I drank the whole thing and joined Sora and the others in being tiny. "Wow, I'm back to this size again."

"You were this small before?" Sora asked, as we jumped down to the ground from the chair.

"Oh yeah, a long time ago but my friend and I were mistaken for mice at the time." I said as Sora stared at me.

"Um… guys…" We looked to see the Door Knob was fast a sleep.

"Hey, wake up!" I yelled as loudly as possible without bursting my lungs but the Door Knob just kept snoring. "Well, even though this was supposed to happen; it still sucks."

"Hey, why don't we just go through here?" Goofy pointed to the hole in the wall next door.

"Yeah, we don't have much of an option now." I said and we walked inside the hole and into the darkness. We soon reached the end to see a trial going on. A familiar blonde girl in a blue dress stood before an ugly looking woman dressed in red, white, and black, who sat on the judge's area. The White Rabbit running onto a stand and blowing a trumpet.

"Court is now in session!"

"I'm on trial? But why?" The girl asked, confused.

"Her Majesty, the Queen of Hearts, presiding!" The White Rabbit announced, looking to the annoying queen.

"This girl is the culprit. There's no doubt about it." The Queen pointed at the girl. "And the reason is… because I saw so, that's why!" One good thing Maleficent did, never recruiting this mad lady.

"But it's so unfair!" The girl argued. Well, there's no real point in hiding it: it's Alice, one of the Princesses of Heart but it's a little weird. Alice isn't a princess but then again same with Kairi so I'll leave it alone.

"Well, have you anything to say in your defense?" The queen asked, seeming to calm down.

"Of course! I've done absolutely nothing wrong!" Alice stated and I'd have to agree. In fact, it makes me wonder. How many innocent people died because the queen said they're guilty? "You may be queen, but I'm afraid that doesn't give you the right to be so… so mean!"

"Silence!" The Queen screamed, some how causing Alice's hair to blow. "You dare defy me!"

"Hey, guys, we should help her out." Sora said, looking worried for Alice.

"Yeah but the…"

"We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling?"

"It's meddling, Goofy." I corrected looking at Alice.

"Oh, yeah. And that's against the rules."

"I'm sorry guys but I'm with Sora on this one." I said, folding my arms. "That girl's gonna be killed for something she didn't do. Really, she needs help."

"The court finds the defendant guilty as charged!" The Queen screamed, as Alice seemed scared. "For the crimes of assault and attempted theft of my heart." This got Sora's attention. "Off with her head!"

"No! No! Oh please!"

"Stop right there!" I yelled as I ran in with Sora and the others behind me.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere with my court!"

"Really, no need to be rude or I will be to you." I said, folding my arms as I went to stand in front of Alice to protect her. "Now, I'd like to ask. Do you have any proof that this girl here was the one to try and steal your heart?"

"Well, do you have any proof?" The Queen asked, snobbishly as she glared down at me.

"Well, no but I do have a question. If your heart is really inside you, shouldn't your thief have come close to you to at least attempt to attack you? And if so, was this girl really the one? You at least saw who tired to attack you, right?" I asked as the Queen glared at me.

"Yeah, we know who the real culprit is." Sora added. Oh god, bad move Sora.

"Uh-huh, it's the Heartle..." But Goofy didn't finish as he covered his mouth to not say anymore.

"Anyway, she's not the one you're looking for."

"Like I said to this child, have you any proof?" The queen asked as Sora faltered. This is why I wanted to logic her out of it. But maybe this might have been the best since the Queen would most likely have my head for confusing her so much or making her use her head. With that, Alice was thrown into a birdcage next to the Queen's stand. "Bring me evidence of Alice's innocence! Fail, and it's off with all of your head! Gather as much or little evidence as you please. Report back here once you're ready."

"Fine." I said as the Queen and I glared at each other. I bet she wants my head off right now. I went over to Alice and gave her a comforting smile. "Don't worry, Alice. We'll do our best to help you."

"Thank you, um…"

"My name's Anna. And these are my friends: Sora, Donald and Goofy." I said as Alice smiled.

"Thank you all. I think I'll be fine." Alice said, thinking a little. "It's funny, we've never met yet I'm happy to see you, Anna."

"Me too." I said nodding. I can feel Alice's light and I realized something. Whenever I'm around a Princess of Heart, I can kind of feel their light and it feels similar to Lunar's. Maybe that's why I can hear and see Kairi.

"What do you think we should do, Alice?" Sora asked.

"Find the Cheshire Cat. He may know something." Alice said before one of the cards came to us.

"No talking to the defendant. Now get moving!"

"Alright." I growled and we went to the woods. What is it with these people? It's like they all woke up on the other side of the bed. As we walked into the woods, a cat's head suddenly appeared in front of us before disappearing and reappearing again before materializing on a near by log. I smiled at the ever-grinning Cheshire Cat. "Hello, Cheshire Cat. How are you?"

"You know this cat?" Sora asked and I could just shrug.

"My, my, the Destiny Keeper is here. No wonder why Alice is so calm even when she might lose her head. But poor Alice. Soon she'll lose her head, and she's not guilty of a thing!" That's not anything to smile at, you werido cat!

"Hey, if you know who the culprit is, tell us!" Sora demanded but the Cheshire Cat wasn't intimidated by Sora.

"The Cheshire Cat knows all the answers but doesn't always tell." The cat said and it's really hard to tell if he's an enemy or not. "The answer, the culprit, the cat all lie in darkness." With that, he faded away.

"Wait!" Sora yelled but the cat didn't return.

"They've already left the forest. I won't tell which exit." The cat's voice said from the same spot earlier. "There are four pieces of evidence in all. Three are a cinch to find. The fourth is tricky. Big rewards if you find them all." Wait, rewards? I thought there was only one reward and that's learning Blizzard.

"Should we trust him?" Donald asked, looking at me and Sora before the Cheshire Cat appeared again.

"To trust or not to trust? I trust you'll decide!" With that, he vanished and we looked at each other.

"We might as well get them all. It'll increase our chances on saving Alice." I said with a sigh. Plus, I want to find out what this extra reward is. So we wondered around fighting Heartless and gathering evidence like the footprints, antenna, and stench and we finally got the last evidence.

"Man, that was hard. It would've been a lot easier if we were our normal size." Sora said, picking up the last box.

"Yeah but who knows what might've happened." I said with a shrug and I turned to see the Cheshire Cat appear.

"Well, look what you've found. Nice going." The cat said with his eternal grin.

"Now, we can save Alice." Sora said looking confident.

"Don't be so sure!" The cat said slyly and I knew what he meant at once. "She may be innocent, but what about you?"

"What do you mean?" Sora asked confused.

"I won't tell. But I will give you something." The Cheshire cat said as Sora's keyblade turned white and cold.

"What the?"

"You got a blizzard spell now, Sora." I said, as Sora looked pleased.

"Now, the reward to the Destiny Keeper. Advice you might find useful in solving a question." The Cheshire Cat said as I started at him. "Like a magnet, you attract things similar to you. Just think about that." With that, the cat vanished. That's it? Really?

"A magnet? What's he talking about?" Sora asked, as I shrugged.

"I honestly don't really know." It's a little hard to say. Maybe he was talking about why I can hear Kairi. But how could he have known about that?

I think I got it! I jumped as I heard Lunar cheer in my head. I just need to test one thing before I can go check it out for myself.

"Um, okay." I muttered as we made out way back to the trial. "Hey, we got your evidence right here!" I yelled as we set down the boxes.

"Very well. Counsel, step up to the podium." A card said as Sora and I looked at each other.

"We can stand there together. There's not enough room on the stands anyway." I said as Sora nodded. So Sora and I went to the podium as Donald and Goofy sat on the side stands.

"Now, show me what you have found." The Queen ordered and the card placed the boxes we collected in front of her. "Well, that's certainly a lot of evidence, but I'm still not impressed." I wonder when she's ever impressed. "Cards! Bring forth my evidence!" The cards placed the single evidence on the ground and suddenly the boxes all switched places.

"What the?"

"Checking all five would only be a waste of time." The Queen said, looking bored. "All right, then. Choose the one you wish to present. I'll decide who's guilty based on that evidence."

"What? After all the trouble of collecting it?" Sora asked, shocked.

"You dare object? You will lose your head! Now, choose! One box!"

"We get it, calm down!" I yelled, looking to Sora. "We collected more evidence than her so the odd are in our favor. Just choose a box so we can get this over with."

"Wait, why do I have to do it?"

"Either way, it'll solve the case. We gotta save Alice after all." I whispered, looking to Alice.

"Alright, but you owe me." Sora said, jumping down and picking a box. He opened it to reveal a Soldier Heartless before it disappeared.

"What in the world was that?" The Queen shouted, shocked and outraged.

"That's the real culprit, lady! Now free Alice right now!" I ordered, as the Queen turned red.

"You dare order me!" Oh god! Now she's really mad! "I'm the law here! Article 29: Anyone who defies the queen is guilty!"

"That's crazy!" Donald yelled and I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, you're the one who said to prove Alice is innocent! So really, you're breaking your rule!" I pointed out but the Queen glared at me.

"Enough, off with their heads!" At once, the stands went down, Alice's cages was covered, a tower rose behind Sora and me, and a card cranked the tower up sending Alice's cage high above us so we couldn't free her. "Get them you fools!" The Queen yelled as her cards went to attack us. Sora, noticing the tower, started attacking the tower.

"I'll help too. Lunar Light!" I yelled, aim my spell at the tower but it only hit the cards. "What the?"

The tower isn't evil or has any darkness. The spell won't work on them. Lunar pointed out as I cast fire spells at the cards sending them running while burning up a bit. The cards on the other hand, they're trying to harm you so that can be darkness.

"You could've said something sooner!" I yelled, blasting fire spells at every card that came near us as Sora, Donald, and Goofy attacked the tower and it was destroyed very quickly and the cage went down. "Alice!" I ran to it, hoping to see we had moved quickly to save her but when the cover was removed, the girl was gone. We were too late.

"She must've gotten kidnapped while we were fighting." Donald pointed out but I still felt bad at not saving her and feeling a little scared for some reason.

Okay, I think I know now. Lunar said but I wasn't able to ask what she meant.

"You fool!" The Queen screamed as the cards looked terrified. "Find the one who's behind this! I don't care how!" With that the cards started scrambling around looking for Alice.

"We'd better get out of here of the crazy queen might do something." I whispered to the others and we ran for the woods; not looking back at the red faced queen. I know Alice is all right but I still feel scared. I wonder why, I'm not scared at the moment.

"Are you okay, Anna?" Goofy asked as I nodded.

"I just hope Alice is okay." I jumped when I heard a loud and turned to see a large bolder that wasn't there before and the Cheshire Cat on it.

"Have you seen Alice?" Donald asked as we walked up to him.

"Alice, no. Shadows, yes!" The Cheshire Cat said and I knew what he meant. The Heartless took Alice.

"Where did they go?" Goofy asked, concerned.

"This way? That way? Does it matter?" Cheshire Cat asked, with a shrug. "Left, right, up, and down! All mixed up thanks to the shadows! Step deeper into the forest to the deserted garden. You might find shadows in the upside-down room!" With that he vanished as we looked at each other.

"The upside-down room?"

"I know what he's talking about but we'd better keep going." I said and we battled our way through the woods against the Heartless and made it to the empty Mad Hatter tea party, I really wonder what happened to them. Still we weren't here for that. We went into the little house next to the empty tea party and Sora gasped.

"How did this happen?" Sora asked shocked, looking at the ceiling. We're in the Bizarre Room only it was upside down and we're on the ceiling only it's the floor now. We looked above us to see the Cheshire cat standing there.

"They're hiding somewhere and the momerathes outgrabe."

"Momerathes?" Sora asked as I shrugged. I never really got what a momerathe is.

"Want to find the shadows? Try turning on the light." He pointed to the two lamps at the center of the room on a tall thing, I really don't know what to call them. Naturally, we had to clean up the room of Heartless before even thinking of going to light the lamps. Sora had to light the lamp as I healed Donald and Goofy. We ran out of potions already. We need to return to Traverse Town after this now. "It's too dim. Make it brighter. One more lamp that you need to light. Why not use the Lunar Light to do it?" I looked up to see the Cheshire Cat vanished with a smile at me. I don't feel good about this.

"Well, why not do it, Anna?" Sora said as I looked at my keyblade.

"Yeah, I guess but how would he know about Lunar Light?" I asked but Sora shrugged and didn't say anything. I sighed and used my Lunar Light spell to light the last lamp and the room looked bright now. At once, the cat returned.

"All the lights are on. You'll see the shadows soon. They'll arise in this room but somewhere else." The cat said, grinning suddenly looking dark. "The shadows might go after that doorknob, too." The doorknob? Oh no!

"Come on, let's go!" I yelled and we ran back to the original Bizarre Room.

"Anna, why are you in such a hurry?" Sora asked, the group running behind me.

"We need to do protect the Doorknob! It's important!" I yelled as we ran into the room to see the Cheshire Cat up on the table.

"You'll have a better view from higher up." The cat said as we sighed. I know what's gonna happen next but really, this is gonna be hard. We made up to the table as the cat stood up. "The shadows should be here soon." The cat looked absolutely giddy as I heard something above us. "Are you prepared for the worst? If not, too bad!" He pointed above us as a Heartless jumped out and formed in front of it. It's not time to face the Trickmaster.

"Avoid using fire spells guys!" I yelled but Sora used a fire spell anyway.

"Why?" The fire spell hit one of the Trickmaster's sticks and it caught fire. At once, the Heartless started throwing fireballs at us.

"That's why!" I yelled, casting a few blizzard spells to put out some fires.

"Quick, Anna! Use your Lunar light!" Goofy yelled, hitting the Trickmaster above it's armor.

"Right!" I yelled, and fired my Lunar Light spell, but the Trickmaster threw his fireballs at it and the fireballs stopped my attack the fire balls came raining down on us. We instantly ran for cover so we wouldn't get burned. In fact it's a wonder we weren't already.

"What are we going to do now?" Sora yelled as we hid near the stove.

"I have an idea but you need to cast your blizzard spell." I said, looking at the table that somehow managed to stay in tack. The bottles to make us grow vanished some how.

"But I haven't used that spell before." Sora argued as I looked at him.

"Sora, spells are simple. You just have to imagine your enemy reacting to the spell. So in this case, just think of this guy freezing." I said as Sora looked uncertain. "I'll also be using an advance blizzard spell so we can do this. You just have to picture it."

"Okay." Sora said, nodding.

"Good. Donald, Goofy keep us covered."

"Right." So we ran for the table as Donald and Goofy distracted Trickmaster.

"Ready, Sora?" I said as we finally got onto the table as the Trickmaster turned to face us noticing we were there.

"Yeah." He said as we pointed out keyblades at him. "Blizzard!"

"Blizzaga!" I yelled and the two ice spells hit the Heartless and it fell down and faded.

"You did it!" Goofy cheered as we got down from the table.

"You did a good blizzard spell. Keep it up, you might need it one day." I said as Sora nodded. We then heard a yawn behind us.

"What a racket." We turned to see the Doorknob had woken up at last. He just woke up because of that fight? Guess we know a way to wake him up now. "How's a doorknob to get any sleep?" The Doorknob gave a huge yawn and we saw something inside his mouth glow. As we leaned in to take a look, it looked like a keyhole, Sora and my keyblades began to react and a beam of light shot out of them and hit the keyhole and there was a locking sound before the Doorknob's mouth closed.

"What was that?" Donald asked as I smiled.

"You hear that? Sounded like something closed." Sora said as I nodded.

"The keyhole to this world, now it's safe." I said, feeling happy. Sure that means the crazy Queen of Hearts will still be around but heck as long as she stays away I'm fine. Something popped out and Goofy picked up a green object.

"This gummi ain't like the others. No, sir." Goofy said, examining it.

"Okay, I'll hold on to it." Donald said as Goofy handed it to him. I felt someone watching us and I turned to see the Cheshire Cat was back and watching us from the table.

"Splendid. You two are quite the heroes." The Cat said as we glared at him. "If you're looking for Alice, she's not here. She's gone! Off with the shadows, into darkness."

"No…" Sora said, looking sad and disappointed.

"Let's go back to our gummi ship. We might find her in another world." Donald said as I nodded.

"She'll be alright." I said as Sora stared at me.

"How can you say that?"

"They only kidnapped her so they must need her and so they'll keep her safe for now." I said, turning to Sora. "We need to save Alice and a few others. Things are getting out of hand and I need your help."

"Yeah, but what about Riku and Kairi?" Sora asked as we got into the table to drink the potions that'll make us normal size again.

"We'll see them on the way. I know that for a fact." I said as Sora cheered up. So we returned to the gummi ship and I sat down on my seat. "Man, that was rough."

"I'll say." Sora said but something smelled off. Oh god, our clothes stink!

"Hey, Donald. Do you have some spare clothes we can borrow?" I asked as Donald looked at me from over his shoulder.

"No."

"What?" I yelled as the guys jumped. "Take us back to Traverse Town right now."

"Huh? Why?" Sora asked, shocked.

"We're out of supplies and we don't have any spare clothes to change in so we can wash our clothes." I pointed out. "We're sleeping in these clothes, we'll stink up the whole gummi ship if we don't do something. You want to at least keep this place clean for Riku and Kairi, right?"

"Yeah, good point. Let's go back Donald." Donald grumbled but agreed since we needed more supplies and flew off back to Traverse Town.

Thanks Anna, that was good. I jumped and looked around. Kairi's voice is back again!

Don't worry, Anna. I think I now know why this is happening but I'll need to test if after we leave Traverse Town. I nodded, at hearing this from Lunar. Finally, some answers. Oh and while I'm doing this, you won't be able to use my powers. Okay, that might be a problem. Still, I have magic so I'm sure I can make it through the next world if I got Sora and the others with me. As long as I find the truth, I don't mind. I just hope Kairi is okay and maybe hearing her is a good thing. I'll just have to find out.

Blair: At least we'll know soon why Anna keeps hearing Kairi but Sora can't.

Anna: Wait, I can't use any Lunar spells the next chapter? But the next chapter is...

Crystal: Yep.

Anna: You like making things difficult for me, don't you.

Crystal: Well, look on the bright side. It'll make you stronger.

Anna: I guess...

Blair: What is the next chapter, anyway?

Crystal: I'm glad you ask but first, if you'd like to see the Anna and Riku picture I drew that Anna saw, it's on my deviantart account. You'll find the link on my profile.

Anna: I can't believe you drew that picture, you haven't even started working on the chapter for it.

Crystal: It's called planning ahead. Anyway, hope you liked it. Join us next time in Chapter 5: Olympus Coliseum. See you soon!
