Ichinose in Wonderland
Chapter 28
Ichinose was in the forest again trying to forget about Gene the white rabbit and going home but while she was there she encountered some strange animals and some very strange creatures called momeraths as they showed her the path home but encountered another strange animal which was a dog with a broom like face she sat on a rock and cried and cried until the Cheshire Cat appeared offering her a way back home
Ichinose continued to follow the path until she stopped and saw a dog with a broom-like face sweeping the path
What the? Ichinose said
The broom dog was sweeping the path when it stopped and swept past Ichinose and continued to sweep more
Oh, man! Now i...now i'll never get out. Ichinose said
Ichinose started to feel sad as she saw a rock and sat on it
Well, when...when one's lost, i...i suppose it's good advice to stay where you are until someone finds you. Ichinose said
Ichinose started to become very sad
But...but who'd ever think to look for me here? Ichinose said
Ichinose started to become very sad
Good advice. If I listened earlier I wouldn't be here! Ichinose said
Suddenly all of the strange animals from earlier came in and saw Ichinose who was very sad
But that's just the trouble with me. Ichinose said
All of the strange animals were looking at Ichinose who was very sad
I give myself very good advice… Ichinose said
(But i very seldom follow it.)
(That explains the trouble that i'm always in.)
(Be patient is very good advice.)
(But the waiting makes me curious.)
(And i'd love the change.)
(Should something strange begin.)
Ichinose then took out a handkerchief and started to tear up a bit
Well, i went along my merry way... Ichinose said
(And I never stopped to reason.)
(I should have known there'd be a price to pay someday.)
(Someday.)
(I give myself very good advice.)
(But i very seldom follow it.)
Ichinose then started to completely cry while all of the strange animals were crying as well
Will i ever learn to do the things i should? Ichinose said
The strange animals were crying but they started to disappear and left Ichinose alone
(Will i ever learn.)
(Learn to do the things i should?)
Will i ever go home? Ichinose said
Ichinose was crying while a familiar voice sang to her
Hmhmhmhm… a voice said
Huh? Ichinose said
Suddenly a smile appeared and it was the smile of the Cheshire Cat
And the momeraths outgrabe. the Cheshire Cat said
Oh, Cheshire Cat, it's you! Ichinose said
Whom did you expect? The white rabbit, perchance? the Cheshire Cat said
Oh, no no no no. I...i...i'm through with rabbits. Ichinose said
What? the Cheshire Cat said
I want to go home! Ichinose said
Really? the Cheshire Cat said
Yes. Ichinose said
Ichinose then blew her nose on the handkerchief
But i can't find my way. Ichinose said
Naturally. That's because you have no way. the Cheshire Cat said
What? Ichinose said
All ways here you see, are the... the Cheshire Cat said
The Cheshire Cat pulls his her down to show female black hair
Queen's ways. the Cheshire Cat said
Queen's ways? Ichinose said
That's right. the Cheshire Cat said
But i've never met any queen. Ichinose said
You haven't? You haven't? the Cheshire Cat said
No. Ichinose said
Oh, but you must! She'll be mad about you, simply mad! the Cheshire Cat said
Okay. Ichinose said
Hahaha! the Cheshire Cat laughed
Uh... Ichinose said
And the momeraths outgrabe... the Cheshire Cat said
The Cheshire Cat started to disappear again but Ichinose called out to him
Please, please! Wait! Ichinose said
What is it? the Cheshire Cat said
Uh...how do i find her? Ichinose said
Well, some go this way, some go that way. the Cheshire Cat said
Huh? Ichinose said
But as for me, myself, personally, I prefer the shortcut. the Cheshire Cat said
The Cheshire Cat then pulled a tree branch and the tree opened a door revealing a rose garden outside
Oh! Ichinose said
Do you like it? the Cheshire Cat said
I do. Ichinose said
Good. the Cheshire Cat said
Who lives there? Ichinose said
You'll find out. the Cheshire Cat said
Is it someone who will get me home? Ichinose said
Maybe. the Cheshire Cat said
I see. Ichinose said
Are you ready? the Cheshire Cat said
I am. Ichinose said
Great. Good luck. the Cheshire Cat said
Thanks. Ichinose said
The Cheshire Cat then disappeared again while Ichinose went inside the tree and was in the rose garden
Whoa. Ichinose said
Ichinose was at a rose garden and it was a maze there
Now where do i go to? Ichinose said
Ichinose was checking out the rose garden when she heard some singing
(Da dee dee da da da.)
Huh? Ichinose said
(Doodle de do.)
What the? Ichinose said
(Dee do dee do.)
Where is that singing coming from? Ichinose said
Ichinose then went and searched inside the maze to find out where the singing was coming from
(Bum bum bum bum.)
Where could it be? Ichinose said
(Painting the roses red.)
Ichinose was checking out the maze until some red paint splashed on the grass floor
Whoa. Ichinose said
(We're painting the roses red.)
Ichinose tried to see what was going on but the grass was too tall and she was small so she jumped to see
(We dare not stop.)
(Or waste a drop.)
(So let the paint be spread.)
(We're painting the roses red...)
(We're painting the roses red!)
Ichinose jumped and jumped before there was a pathway between the tall grass and saw three card painters painting some roses red
Whoa. Ichinose said
(Henry: An Oc character)
(Painting the roses red.)
(And many a tear we shed.)
Talking cards? Ichinose said
(Because we know.)
(They'll cease to grow.)
(In fact they'll soon be dead.)
(Noooo!)
Yikes. Ichinose said
(And yet we go ahead.)
(Painting the roses red.)
(Red red red red red red red red.)
The three card painters took their buckets of red paint and started to move to another tree of roses
(Painting the roses red.)
(We're painting the roses red...)
While the three card painters were painting the roses Ichinose approached them
(Oh pardon me.)
(But mister three.)
(Why must you paint them red?)
Huh? the three card guards said
Why are you painting the roses red? Ichinose said
Oh! the three card guards said
Can you all tell me? Ichinose said
Of course. the three card guards said
Tell me. Ichinose said
Well, the fact is, miss uh... the third card painter said
Ichinose. Ichinose said
Ichinose. We planted the white roses by mistake. the third card painter said
Really? Ichinose said
Yes. And... the third card painter said
(The queen.)
(She likes them red.)
(If she saw what we said.)
(She'd raise a fuss.)
(And each of us.)
(Would quickly lose his head.)
Goodness! Ichinose said
(Since this is the thought we dread.)
(we're painting the roses red!)
Oh man! Ichinose said
Yup. the three card painters said
Then let me help you! Ichinose said
Really? the three card painters said
Yeah. Ichinose said
Alright. the three card painters said
Ichinose then grabbed a bucket of red paint and joined the three card painters
(Painting the roses red.)
(We're painting the roses red.)
(Don't tell the queen.)
(What you have seen.)
(Or say that's what we said.)
(What.)
(We're painting the roses red...)
The three card painters then helped Ichinose up the ladder while she painted the roses red
(Yes painting the roses red.)
Not pink. the first card painter said
Not green. the second card painter said
Not aquamarine. Ichinose said
(We're painting the roses red!)
While Ichinose and the three card painters continued to paint the roses a trumpet sound was heard and a bunch of red card guards walked out of a castle and marched into the maze
The queen! The queen! the third card painter said
The queen? Ichinose said
Yes. the queen. the three card painters said
The queen! Ichinose said
It looks like Ichinose is going to meet the queen as the red guards were marching in the maze stay tuned
