Wonderland

Chapter 5

(Dipper pov)

I sit under a tree reading a book, hearing Mable laughing and playing in the garden. I don't like being out here, it's hot and the clothes mommy made me wear are itchy.

Hearing somthing nearby I look up and see a bunny with a watch just like daddy's. It runs off and I get up running after it.

It disappears down a rabbit hole. I sit on my knees looking into it. "Hello? Mr. Bunny?"

I peek my head into the hole. "Hello?"

I scream as I find myself falling into the darkness.

"Ma....on....!"

Groaning I peel my eyes open, my head and wrist hurting. I painfully sit up looking up from where I fell into this hole when I hear it again.

"Mason!"

"Daddy! Daddy I'm down here!"

His head peeks into the hole and a flashlight shines down on me. "Dipper....oh god just hold on."

"Don't leave me daddy!" I cry out, being scared and feeling tears spreading down my cheeks.

"I'm not just give me one second." He leaves for a minute before a rope is thrown down the hole and he comes down climbing down the rope.

Once he's in the hole with me he picks me up in a tight hug. I hug him as tightly as I can as I cry into his shoulder.

"Shh shh it's okay. I've got you, it's okay."

.....................................................................

I wake up on the ground, still tiny and still under Bill's hat. Did I just have a dream within a dream? This is getting weird and confusing. I hate that memory. I remember my mom through a fit about my clothes being covered in dirt. After that was when I started having the same dream over and over. I thought this dream would be just like the others but it's different in so many drastic ways.

I hear what sounds like loud sniffing and it doesn't make sense until a giant dog nose flips the hat over and I recognize it as the dog that got Bill captured. "You...."

"Are you the one they call Dipper?"

"Yes but not that one." I angrily stand up. "You are a fucking bastard! You were supposed to lead them away from us! Bill trusted you!"

"They have my wife and pups." My anger doesn't vanish but it does lessen slightly.

"What's your name?"

"Bayard. You must be the one. Bill wouldn't have just sacraficed himself for anyone else."

"Where did they take him?"

"To the Red Queen’s castle at Salazun Grum."

"I want you to take me there. We're going to rescue him."

"That is not foretold."

"I don't fucking care! He wouldn't even be in that situation if it wasn't for me!"

"The Frabjous Day is almost upon us. You must prepare to meet the Jabberwocky."

"That is enough! Stop telling me what I have to do!  Since the moment I fell down that rabbit hole, I’ve been told what I must do and who I must be. I’ve been shrunk, stretched, scratched and stuffed into a teapot! I have been accused of being Dipper and not being Dipper. But this is my damn dream! I’ll decide how it goes from here."

" If you diverge from the path-"

"I make my own fucking path!" He whines before laying down at my feet. I climb up on his nose until I'm sitting behind his collar. I hold on tightly to the spikey collar. "Let's go and don't forget the hat."

He grabs the hat with his teeth and takes off running. I hold onto his collar tightly as the wind whips through my hair. I never realized until know how fast a dog really can run.

After running for many many many mile we finally get to a tall castle, banners of red hearts all along the walls surrounding wall. The only thing in our way is the moat outside the wall. It's full of a thick black liquid that smelled and what made it worse was the countless floating heads in it.

"Why are there so many heads?"

"That is what she does to anyone who displeases her."

I climb off Bayard as I look at the heads, figuring out a plan in my head. "Lost my muchness, have I?" I mumble to myself as I take a few steps back for a running start.

I run and jump on a head to keep out of the moat. I keep doing this until I get to the other side. Now how to get past the wall. Looking up I see it's too high to climb but at the bottom of the wall I see a hole I can crawl through. It will be a tight squeeze but it is doable.

I turn back to Bayard. "Bayard! The hat." I gesture for him to throw it over the wall.

Taking it in his teeth he spins around for momentum and flings it high over the wall.

I get on my stomach and army crawl through the hole.

I stand up brushing dirt off myself seeing that I'm in a garden. There are bushes shaped like hearts and a woman's huge head. I see red roses planted everywhere. For some reason I always hated red roses. I don't know why.

I peek around a bush seeing a whoman in red with a huge ass head and a crown. Guessing she's the Red Queen. Her lipstick is even shaped like a heart. Around her are people but none of them look right. They all have something that is just too big to be normal. And even worse are all the animals. She has a hedhog on the ground with it's paws tied and is a flamingo like a crochet mallet. I even see the rabbit there, now wearing red heart attire.

She hits the headehog and it whizzes past me so fast the air knocks me down. Getting up I run after it finding it landed behind an even bigger bush of roses.

Rushing over to the headehod I pull at the rope trying to untie him, it not being easy as he moves around. "Please just hold still." I finally get him untied and he runs off. Hearing something behind me I turn around only to see the rabbit.

"Well if it isn't the wrong Dipper. What are you doing here?"

"I came to rescue Bill."

"You aren't rescuing anyone being the size of a gerbil."

"Hm....do you have any of that cake that made me grow bigger before?"

"Upelkuchen? Actually, I might have some left." He searches his pockets and hands me a cake, it being huge now with how small I am. I hold it, taking several bites of it. "Wait wait, not all of it!" I hear his warning too late, dropping the cake as I grow bigger, but bigger then I wanted. I hear and feel the clothes Bill gave me tear off of me as I get so big I tower over the big rose bush, thankful that it still covered me from the waist down. I gulp nervously as she and her people look up at me.

"And WHAT is this?" The Red Queen demands looking at the rabbit.

"It’s a “who”, Majesty. This is...um...."

"Um?"

"From Umbradge." I speak up, her looking ove at me.

"What happened to your clothes?"

"I out grew them. I grow a lot. Everyone would always laugh at me. I came here hoping you would understand."

"Dear boy, anyone with a head that large is more then welcome in my court." She turns to her people. "Someone find him some clothes. I don't care if you have to make them out of the curtains, just find him some bloody clothes."
