"Your eyes... they scream the truth. No lying with innocence like that."

"My eyes? You could not possibly know what I was thinking or planning on doing from looking at my eyes!"

"Why not? It's perfectly logical." - The Cheshire Cat's first meeting with Angela

*!*!*

"A spoonful of honey makes everybody happy. Known fact." Lifting up a silver spoon full of a yellow, sticky bit of honey, he lifted it to Angela's mouth and wiped away something on her cheek. She looked over to him with brown eyes, the same that Gill had fallen for, and she sniffed. He put the spoon back into a cup, and brought it back to her lips, as if she could do anything for herself, as if she were a baby.

"Gill, I can feed myself."

"My love, I would feel better if you let me care for you, as a friend. As a lover, well-" He laughed and she hit him playfully. They acted like two friends that haven't seen each other in a long time, and Angela couldn't help the nagging feeling it was all familiar. She had been there before, maybe in a past life, maybe in a dream. This brought back her memories of the real world. Gill could see from her expression she was upset.

"My love, once again I will have to bring up the question of staying here-" She looked at him, he knew the answer very well and she was getting tired of having to reject him. "- But, but! If you were to stay here, I could show you things you haven't even experienced yet, I can give you whatever your heart desires. All I ask is for those little words and we can be free."

"Gill, I'm Angela. Everyone wants me dead. I can't stay in a world where everywhere I look someone is trying to stab me-" Gill cut her off. "I'm the master of this land, if you would become mine, no one would touch you but me. Not. Even. The cat." He stressed out the last part. It made Angela wonder why they hated each other so much, but thought it was a good idea to not even go near the subject.

"You know, if you killed the Queen, you could stay here." Gill muttered under his breath. Angela whipped her head to look at him and clutched a tea cup full of black liquid in her hands.

"I couldn't kill anybody. I'm not a fighter." She hissed. Gill shook his head.

"But you must, it's in the prophecy-"

"What exactly IS this prophecy? A story made up by some... some... talentless idiot?"

"The PROPHECY" He said again, stressing it out, "Is a for-teller of the future. Tales of great misery have only come from the prophecy, until now... it was written on many weaved rags, no one knows who made it and none dare question. It's only told tales of great sorrow, until you came along... The perfect Alice, the prophecies chosen."

"How do you know it's me? It could just be a typo, or something"

"Because the tapestry was a deep blood red until you came along. Now, it's a bright white, signifying light and hope for our kingdom."

"I see... where exactly IS this tapestry?"

"The Red Queen- the one you have to murder- stole it a long time ago, and keeps it hidden away in a locked room, strung up on the walls, where only she can see it."

"She sounds like a bitch."

"QUIET! The trees have ears."

An imaginary breeze whisked by. Angela shuddered. Right about now, she'd believe it if Gill told her she was a martian from the planet Zorack come to destroy earth. Right now, she felt like a martian.

"Gill, I don't know. I have a life, at... home." The last part made a sudden feeling well up in her throat. Her eyes became moist, oh how she'd love to go home and curl up in her blanket and close her eyes and just feel. How long has she been here, in wonderland? She only slept once, and ate only that, not that she was tired or hungry. She must have stayed about a day, in the least.

"How long have I been here?" She asked simply, looking up at his pale skin and crystal like eyes that felt so warm and familiar. She would love to just stay there, in his arms, for eternity.

"Here, about... a week. At least. Time goes by differently here."

"What about the real world?"

"A few minutes."

"WHAT? Gill, I can't... I need... please! The door, the keys, I need to LEAVE!" Angela's panic welled up. All the unspoken emotions just came out in one flash, all the words she wished she had said earlier on the tip of her tongue.

"Relax, relax. There will be time. Time is what we have." Gill's hands ran up her cheek in an attempt at affection. Angela relaxed immediately, in Gill's hands. A snap, in the woods, past the black hedge garden, brought Gill's attention to himself.

"Chase doesn't want me touching you. He thinks it will persuade you to fall for me." Gill's smile stood playfully on his lips, as if it were a game. "He wants you first. I hate to say it, but he can take you to your next destination, and I'm afraid I can only come when called... I'm sorry." Angela's eyes traveled down to the bandage wrapped around his arm. He looked so vulnerable, unlike the mean and nasty boy he came off as.

"Okay."

"Angela, I love you." Gill said to her as he noticed Chase walking towards her stoically. His arms wrapped around Angela's waist, and like a flash of light, she was gone, with no answer hanging in the quiet air.

Gill pushed the Black Cherry tea up to his mouth and drank it with thoughts playing in his mind.

*!*!*

"This is it." Chase walked towards the large white castle with a long stride. Angela rushed to keep up with him, the cherry blossoms deciding to hit her in the face and temporarily blind her every now and then. The long path of marble stone was glossy, leading around a large fountain where small nymph-like creatures played. As soon as they saw Angela, they disappeared into the water and watched from the drops that fell. Chase hissed lowly at them, and Angela smacked him playfully.

"Don't like water" he explained as they walked, and Angela understood it completely. After silent walking, they reached the door, only to be stared at by a rabbit-man with a large pocket watch hanging from his neck. Large white ears stood out the top of his head as he examined them both, and Angela noticed then he had a built-male's body and a stern face.

"Screw off, Vaughn, we don't have the time."

"I AM the adviser, bitch, I have the right. Who may I ask wants the Queen?" 'Vaughn' asked prissily.

"Fucking bastard, you know who I am." Chase gave him the finger and bared his teeth. Vaughn didn't seemed fazed by it, in fact, they looked like brothers. They both had large violet eyes and cold looks.

"I know who you are idiot, I mean who is THIS?" He pointed a long finger at Angela and she felt unwanted. She was eyed down like a piece of meat, which was absurd, as rabbits are vegetarians.

"Alice." Chase said simply, and Vaughn's expression changed. His eyes grew wider and a large pink blush filled his face. It was weird, considering how cold he was before.

"Oh, Miss Alice! How lovely to see you, please do come in, would you like me to carry you?" He asked oddly. Chase slapped him upside the head and eyed him down coldly. Vaughn returned the glare, equally as forceful.

"Don't offer such petty requests. She doesn't need to be carried. And if anyone will carry her, It's me." Chase said with a nasty death-glare. Vaughn's eyes squinted and he stuck out his tongue like a child.

"Excuse me, in those heels, the poor girl must be in pain from walking so far! Especially with you, it must have made the pain twice as bad..." Vaughn leaned down at Angela. He had no top on, and was quite good looking, and Chase must have noticed Angela's blush and hissed.

"No, it's fine, I'm okay." Angela said quietly. She was feeling fine, and it was pretty silly to see the two act that way towards each other. Cats don't get along with rabbits that much, after all.

"Nonsense!" Vaughn said, picking her up bridal style. Chase's claws came out and he looked at Vaughn with an eagle eye.

"Hands down, rabbit boy."

"Calm down kitty, rawr. Must want your milk already?" Vaughn said again. Angela, feeling awkward, wrapped her arms around his neck in fear of falling.

"How 'bout you make like a rabbit and fuck off?" Chase said with venom. Angela opened her mouth to say something to calm him down, but Vaughn had already kept walking towards another set of doors.

"Be happy to. Especially with an Alice as pretty as this." Angela blushed again. Chase started to make a run for him, claws out and teeth bared, but instead Vaughn slammed the door in his face with his mind and Angela heard a thud, most likely Chase's body slamming against the door with breakneck power.

"He's okay, Miss Alice, just probably a little freaked out." Vaughn said again with a smile as he carried her off towards the queen, smiling evilly to himself.

And the rabbit isn't as innocent as once presumed.

*!*!*

"Go, go. Take a bath. You have blood on your dress, I'll make you a new one. What's your favorite color?" The Queen was a lot nicer then she would have imagined. Her long blue hair reached down to the floor and she spoke with a quiet voice. Her hands reached up and pulled back Angela's hair, while she looked at her face with kind eyes.

"No, Vaughn, you're not going with her. You're so horny all the time I doubt she would feel comfortable with you in her presence." Angela looked over to the bunny and he crossed his arms with a pout. Her hand signaled to another person, and it was Chase. Since when did he get there? How long was he there FOR? She never noticed him come in...

"Yes your majesty." His hands interlocked with hers, and Chase stuck out his tongue at the bunny who did not seemed very pleased. Chase smiled as he watched the Queen instruct him on where to go, and once again, in a flash, she was in a bathroom somewhere in the castle holding a towel with a dark insignia on it and almost blinded by all the white. Chase walked over to the tub and Angela examined the room. Big, white, clean. Chase got up and left, and all Angela could do was wonder what happened to Gill.

*!*!* The Red Queen's Fortress, 4 minutes.

Angela floated in a pod, eyes closed, as hustle and bustle crowded the hallways of the castle, all awaiting the Queen's response. The kitchen was filled with gossip, the adviser was sadly looking at his master Luna, and master Jin was watching the pod with great curiosity. Luna laughed a bit, rubbing her hands together, a smile on her face and her adviser carefully watching her. Oh, how Queen Candace would disapprove, oh how she'd set things right. Luna reached her hand down her shirt and pulled out a key with the word forever on it. She rubbed it between her hands and smiled wider this time.

"Five." Jin said, causing everyone in the castle to stop in their tracks for no reason.

"Four." The town stops moving, silently awaiting what they didn't understand was of great importance.

"Three." Julius says sadly, rubbing his arm with pain.

"Three." Jin says again, looking at the pod even more.

"Two!" Luna cries happily, awaiting for her plan to work as she wanted.

One. Angela's eyes open immediately, taking in her surroundings as Julius stares at her, Jin smiles, and Luna cackles with delight.

"The replica has been completed." Luna says.

Somewhere in Wonderland, Angela feels a cold chill as her soul is peered into, and the replica smiles.

*!*!*

Jesus this was over-due.

Review and whatever.

What do you think they're going to do to the replica?

Who was your favorite character in the story?

Do you think I should just stick to Waffle Town characters, or add more from the other games?
