Thanks for reading everyone! I'm in a hurry to get this done before tonight's episode. Enjoy!
tammy henson: Well, you're in luck, I'm going to be updating all day.
Tiger Lily flew through Storybrooke. She had finally found a way to create a portal to Storybrooke, and now had to find Regina. She soon spotted Regina in her house, reading a book. Tiger Lily flew through the window,and grew to human size.
"Tiger Lily, what..." Regina started.
"I have news," Tiger Lily interrupted.
Lucy opened the map as she followed it through the forest.
"Go three steps towards the tree, and stop at the rabbit hole," Lucy read out loud, "Huhn, that's weird, the map stops right here."
She looked up and saw a rabbit hole, just as the map said. As she stepped closer to the rabbit hole, the map felt warm in her hands. She looked down on it, to find that the map was gone, and instead were the words (a/n these are from a song that I do not own):
Do you wonder,
'Cause you'll never know,
Do you wonder,
What is possible,
Do you wonder,
What we could be,
Come to Wonderland with me.
"Guess I'm going down there," Lucy said. She rolled up the map and put it in the satchel her mother gave her, next to the book, which she had put in there earlier. Then, she leapt down the hole. After what seemed like an eternity of falling, she finally landed on soft ground. As she got up and brushed herself off, she looked around. In front of her was a path, winding its way through beautiful luminescent blue mushrooms. The sky above her was cloudy, but the clouds weren't that thick. She could still see pink sky through that. She couldn't tell whether it was sunset, or if the sky is always pink.
"What do you want?" a voice said. Lucy instantly turned towards the voice. Standing near the hole in which she had came out of, was a blonde wearing a blue dress with a blue cape.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked.
"The name's Alice," the girl said, "What's yours?"
"My name's Lucy," Lucy replied, "I don't suppose you have seen a wardrobe around here, have you?"
"Might have saw something a little ways. Why do you ask?"
"Oh good," Lucy breathed. She looked back up at Alice. "You have to take me to it, it's urgent."
Alice cocked her head. "What's in it for me?"
Lucy raised an eyebrow, not knowing what Alice meant. "Excuse me?"
"What do I get for helping you?"
"I can give you you anything in payment for your services, gold, jewels..." Lucy started to say.
Alice held her hand up. "As much as I'd like to ask, I'm not going to. I don't need any of those things."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want an ally. Someone to help me take down the Queen of Hearts."
"Look, I can't do that right now. A curse is coming at any time. I can help you, but you've got to be patient."
"And what happens after you find that wardrobe?" Alice asked, caution growing in her voice.
Lucy decided to be cautious with what she was going to say next. "Then I find my father, and everyone gets their happy endings."
"How are you so sure that that would happen?"
Lucy pulled they book out of her satchel and offered it to Alice. "Look at this." Alice took the book and looked through it, her facial expressions changed variously, from boredom to surprise, then to confusion.
"These don't sound like they're true," Alice finally said.
"They're from another realm. My father wrote that book. The reason he came here was to find his own happy ending."
Alice looked through the book some more. "Do you really think he could give us happy endings?"
"I know he can," Alice closed the book and handed it back to Lucy.
"Follow me," Alice said. Lucy put the book in her satchel, and followed Alice. Lucy smiled as she remembered what her father told her before she fled: Someday, someone will. He was right. Then, her brief moment of triumph turned to worry. Where was her father now? And was he alright?
