Chapter 34

"Alice recently got some new updates!" Katie said as she led the way for everyone to get in line. "New projections, brighter paint, and better sound quality! I'm really happy about it." She giggled. Steph cheered as she got everyone on the ride. They went in their usual groups, but Tamaki and Haruhi went first this time.

As their caterpillar was launched, Haruhi noticed rabbit footprints on the ground leading to a hole. They heard Alice start to speak. "My adventures in Wonderland began when I followed the white rabbit down the rabbit hole. All of a sudden…"

They were in the hole as well and, from the darkness, they saw what Katie meant by new projections. Swirling around them was furniture and they were taken in the movie scene where Alice was falling down. The two hosts gasped in surprise.

"I fell! Down… Down… Down…" Drawers, rocking chairs, and lamps flew all around them until they reached a door.

"Oh! Looking for the white rabbit?" The doorknob said as the door swung open. "Well, haha, have a look around!" It opened to show another projection, one of the rabbit running away and Alice chasing it.

Everyone was looking around in awe in caterpillars behind the first. They loved the vibrant colors and lights.

Suddenly, Tamaki gasped as he saw Tweedledee in front of them. Tweedledum peeked out from behind his twin as they gave false directions. Haruhi just laughed and yelled back to the twins, who were two caterpillars behind them, "Hey, Hikaru and Kaoru, you're up here!" Tamaki laughed at Haruhi's stunning wit and they moved on. When everyone saw these famous doppelgangers, they laughed, though the Ouran twins laughed the hardest.

Soon, the white rabbit was spotted with his giant clock as he panicked. "Oh no! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" Everyone smiled at that.

The next thing they saw was a brilliant mixture of projection and machine. They were surrounded by the beautiful display of flowers singing "In a golden afternoon!" Some flowers were projected into place while others were older AA figures. If one looked up they could see lovely butterflies surrounded by leaves. It was great.

Kyoya noticed something different, however. Each AA flower was singing, but they all had a unique voice that could be heard when one passed it. Since they were on a tame ride, Kyoya had a small sketchbook in his lap as he quickly drew his vision of the room they were in. It seemed as if he was mapping out the ride though pictures.

After leaving the flowers, they came upon a blue caterpillar, who said "Who are you?" As smoke came from his odd pipe, letters formed above his head in a stunning use of more projections. They moved onto a more curioser part of the ride, as they spotted dandelions with lion roars, ponderous signs to Yonder, This Way, Up, and Down, and a peculiar smile that seemed to come from thin air.

Tamaki gasped in delight for probably the hundredth time while in Disneyland as they head a laugh, followed by a "Loose something?" It was the Cheshire Cat! They came upon his figure, which would be all there and lit up and then suddenly vanish without a trace. Alice looked on ponderously as everyone in Caterpillars sat shocked.

As they passed by the cat, they saw another weird display of bird. Owls with accordion necks, birds with cages as stomachs with more birds inside them (Honestly, thought Kyoya, a bit disturbing…), and hammerbirds nailing in signs to name a few.

They saw the pesky cat again, pointing down the road through a door. It was a heart shaped hedge! Everyone knew where this was heading (No pun intended). They saw a bunch of red playing cards on parade as some cards were painting white roses red and singing. The white roses lit up to red, then faded back to white in a very cartoon-y manner, which was hilarious. Some paint was splattered on the hedges that surrounded everything.

Finally, they were able to find the white rabbit once more as he announced "Her Royal Highness, the Queen of Hearts!" Another voice feebly called out "And the King too!" No one payed the second voice any mind. They soon found themselves under a literally bridge of cards as they spotted the queen and her croquet mallet as she coyly asked "Shall we play croquet?" They saw the king say "Rule 42, the Queen ALWAYS wins." Everyone had a nervous knot in their stomachs as they looked at their riding partner with worry.

Another fantastic projection showed a hedgehog ball roll through rose bushes, leading to a very angry queen.

"THAAAAATS ENOUGH!" the red queen screamed. A projection behind her showed thousands of cards raining down, but everyone was focused on the black card holding a very pointy blade. "OFF WITH HER HEAD!" Everyone screamed with mock fear and true delight. Cards appeared at every turn as the ride sped up a little. As they went through a door, projection cards tried to stop the hosts/Alice and they came to a blue, swirling cloud. As they approached it, they could feel their pursuers giving up. They felt sunshine coming through the door ahead. It opened…

And they were on top of the ride, looking down at Fantasyland. It was peaceful suddenly, and very pleasant. The sun was bright and up now. Whimsical music played as they weaved around, looking at the deserted place below them. Everyone took a moment to sigh and enjoy the view.

"Y'know, this isn't really high up, but we can see pretty far, huh." Haruhi said to Tamaki. He agreed as they watched the empty Fantasyland go by.

The next caterpillar held Kyoya and Katie. She leaned back in her seat and felt the sun on her face. "I have never seen this place this deserted. We must do this again, and even earlier next time." Now, Kyoya was notorious for not being an early riser, but he immediately agreed with his friend.

"It is quite fantastic to have this whole, lovely place to ourselves." He said, quietly. Katie smiled up at him and he smiled back at her. Their moment of peace was interrupted by the riders behind them.

"Hey, Kyoya!" It was the twins. "We're swerving everywhere!" With every turn the road made, the twins and Steph leaned with it. They were having a bunch of fun.

Honey and Mori were watching the scenery move by with a quiet dignity for a while until they looked at each other, smiled, and started "Woo-hoo"-ing and hollering.

"Wait." Mori said to his cousin as they stopped and listened intently. From where they were, they could hear a crowd forming in Main Street, like how they waited the previous day. Both of them felt a little sorry that others had to wait for this, but grateful that they could enjoy this.

After their jaunt over Fantasyland, their ride came back inside to see a bunch of whistling teapots and cups balanced high up. It was the Unbirthday theme! The projections were wonderful and very magical. They turned another corner to see the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the small Doormouse and a lovely Alice enjoying tea and celebrating their unbirthdays.

Before they exited the ride, they saw a fretful white rabbit trying to stop an unbirthday cake from blowing up, since its candle was actually a sparkler!

As they came back into the light, they heard an explosion and a sad "It was an unbirthday cake too…" When they heard it, the hosts laughed and cheered. They all exited, singing the song and celebrating their unbirthdays.

"That was mad!" Haruhi said with a mad glimmer in her eyes. Everyone agreed, clamoring on about the ride.

"How fantastic it would be to cosplay that for our guests!" Gushed the host king. Everybody nodded in agreement, except Haruhi.

"You know, I had a dream like that once…"

Honey cut her off. "Where to next?" Everyone eagerly leaned in to hear their next location.

"How about…" Steph said, walking towards Peter Pan and the rides near there. "Snow White!" Everyone cheered and got into the line. Katie stopped them at the apple in the entranceway. "Mori, would you be so kind as to polish this apple?" Mori, ever the gentleman, nodded and reached his hand out to touch the golden apple.

Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder and an evil cackle as his fingers brushed the smooth surface. In shock, Mori withdrew his hand at once as everyone else screamed in surprise. Katie wasn't smiling anymore.

"Here is your warning." She said, stroakng the apple and looking serious. "I'll tell you now, this ride is apply named. It is very scary. The fluffy Snow White you are all expecting is barely here. It's more about the evil witch and her plot. Hence, Snow White's Scary Adventures." She looked at Haruhi, who shrugged. She was getting used to the fake Thunder and lightning. It wasn't as scary as the real deal and she was getting through it very well.

"So, that apple thing was supposed to happen, right?" Honey asked, unsmiling. His eyes were big, but his backbone stiffened.

"Yes, Honey." Steph said, ushering him along. "Like Katie said, it's a warning. Showing that this ride is not like the other dark rides here." Everyone nodded and moved along.

They passed the evil apple and past the queen's dungeon to load into mine carts. The same order was used here as the previous ride.

The twins were startled to hear the witch give the safely announcement. It made everything a lot creepier. They shivered and entered their cart.

As they launched, they entered the dwarf's home to see animals everywhere with a homey glow. It looked cheerful as they watched Snow White climb up stairs to the beds. Squirrels, chipmunks, and adorable mice were at her feet, smiling up at her. Everyone laughed at the sight. The girls must be pulling their legs. This wasn't scary at all! It was downright adorable! Katie saw Kyoya's casual smile as she cackled to herself. Oh, they doubted her again. Steph was with the twins and thinking the same evil thoughts. They turned to see the dwarfs having their dance party. The music was great and the AAs, while old, looked fantastic.

The first ones to start understanding the ride title were Tamaki and Haruhi. They exited the house to see…

The evil queen! She was peering through the window of the cottage, saying "These dwarfs can't hide Snow White forever!" A raven cawed in response. They were in the forest and it looked menacing. Grins evaporated from their faces. Tamaki looked at Haruhi nervously, and she looked back at him, totally believing what Katie had warned them about. Everyone had the same reaction when they saw the evil queen.

But that moment lasted just that. Again, their nervousness turned into joy when they entered the dwarfs' mine cave. They saw all the sparkling diamonds and heard the tune of "Heigh-HO!" Everyone was singing and clapping along with glee, forgetting their moment of fear. But alas, this moment was also a fleeting one.

They exited the mine and saw two vultures on a tree branch. They looked menacingly at the passengers below them. This next home they entered was not a welcome one. It was the queen's castle.

The heavy door creaked open to reveal the queen, arms outstretched in front of her magic mirror. Her reflection looked stern, foreboding. She began to chant in her queen voice.

"Magic mirror, on the wall..." Then bang, flash! The mirror spewed a green light. As the queen was speaking, the mine cart came closer. The queen whirled around to face and loom over the unsuspecting guests. Haruhi described that the queen was leaping at them like she wanted to strangle the visitors.

"WITH THIS DISGUISE I'LL FOOL THEM ALL." The evil hag cackled. She was a shriveled old witch! The queen in the reflection had turned old and ugly and her elegant robes turned into black peasant robes. This happened to each individual cart that passed and each visitor who was caught unawares either shrieked or yelped in surprise and fear.

They moved deeper into the queen's catacombs. Skeletons were everywhere and were very morbid. They saw her with an apple over a caldron. Her raven cawed on her arm.

The witch addressed the boat. "Have an apple, dearie?" When the hosts heard that, each one would scream some variation of "NO!" Even Steph got into the action, saying "Nay, nay, good lady!" She seemed to be taking this in a very cheerful way that creeped the twins out.

They moved away from the witch in haste, but she came upon them in a boat, on her way to deliver her fatal present. "Apples… Fresh apples…." She purred out.

"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND APPLES YOU STOP THAT LADY!" Tamaki screamed out as they escaped through the forest.

But maybe escape is not the correct term, for all the trees had terrifying faces and outspreaded branches, as if they were trying to grab those inside the carts. Everyone squealed in horror at this new development.

Everyone screamed as they weaved through the trees, avoiding crocodile logs intent on devouring them, and trees that lit up as they passed. Why hadn't they heeded the warnings? Why?!

Rats scurried from some trees and they soon found themselves back at the cottage, but it wasn't cheerful this time.

The door of the cottage swung open to reveal the witch once more, screaming "TASTE THE APPLE!" Everyone gasped in shock, realizing the fate of Snow White.

"YOU EVIL HAG!" Kaoru scolded the witch.

"YOU BIG MEANY" Tamaki screamed.

"NOPETY NOPE NOPE I'D RATHER TASTE THE RAINBOW!" Honey screamed at the witch as he nearly crawled in Mori's lap out of fear.

They saw it was raining and the dwarfs were chasing the witch up a mountain. The music had swelled in a fury. They saw the witch about to unleash a boulder on the enraged dwarfs… But on the frightened guests as well!

Everyone braced for impact, but lightning flashed to reveal the witch stumbling back and down to her death along with the bolder. Her deathly scream pierced their eardrums as they exited to see a lovely storybook open with a castle on it. It read "And they lived happily ever after."

The ride pulled up to the exit. That was it.

Everyone exited the ride without a word. After everyone was on the waiting platform, they exited to the front of the ride. No one had said a thing. Their expressions were those of shock, fear, but mostly shock.

Suddenly, Mori turned to Steph. "What the #$%! was that?" It was too much for Steph to take as she roared with laughter. Soon, everyone was laughing and expressing their confusion. No one got the ride.

"Okay, how about something lighter than that, sis." Katie said. "Time for Storybook Land Canals!"
