Through the looking glass

Chapter 5

(Dipper pov)

The machine falls through the sky. I scream as I try to control it to make it fall at least slower but I'm unable to do anything as it hits the ground and I get thrown out of it, rolling on the ground painfully. Looking up I see that the Chronosphere has shrunk back down to it's small size again.

I get up picking up my hat off the ground putting it back on my head as I grab the Chronosphere putting it in my pocket then head into the nearby town.

People and different creatures rushing past me, not even giving my outfit a second glance. I guess around here the clothes from China look pretty normal with all their crazy outfits.

It feels so weird to see all these people around. All the times I've come to Wonderland, most of the people were gone and it was just the strange creatures around.

What am I supposed to do now? I don't even know when in history I got knocked into. And I can't use the Chronosphere right away, I think it needs a minute or two to recharge.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts as someone crashes into me knocking us both to the ground, his heavy weight on top of me making it hard for me to breath. "...ow..." I softly groan.

"Oh shit I am so so sorry." I hear a familiar voice say with a small laugh. I look up and to my surprise I see Bill's golden eyes staring back at me, his hair slightly longer and messier then I've ever seen it.

He gets off of me and helps me on my feet. "Bill?"

"Yeah? Do I know you?"

"Yes. Well not yet."

"I feel like I know you....how strange."

"We meet a few years later when I'm a child."

"We meet when I'm a few years older and you're a small child?"

"I realize now that I'm saying it out loud that it doesn't make much sense."

"It makes perfect sense to me. I'm Bill."

"Yes I know. I'm Dipper."

"Dipper, your time is a little confused."

"He is not confused, as a matter of fact he's a bit angry with me right now."

"You're a bit crazy." He laughs as he walks off. I hurry to catch up with him. He walks backwards to keep talking to me, not breaking eye contact as he even swipes his hat up from the ground, it being just plain black.

"Yes I have been told that by many people."

"Well all the best people are." He takes yellow ribbon out of his pocket and wraps it around the hat using some small pins to keep it in place.

"Look, I know this might sound crazy but I really need to find your family."

"Well good for you that we're going to see them." He takes out a pocket watch opening it checking the time. "Crap, we need to hurry. I didn't realize how late I was."

He grabs my wrist pulling me through the crowds and into what I think is a church. Up front I see a king and queen and teenage versions of the White Queen and Red Queen. The Red Queen's head is still big but it's only slighty bigger then a normal person's head right now.

I can tell Bill is late by how he uses his hat to try and hide his face. He gets to the front handing his hat to a woman and picks up a big box holding it. I'm guessing that the people he's standing with are his family. They look like a nice bunch of people. I hide behind a pillar as I watch to see what happens.

"And now the heiress. Princess Iracebeth." The only person that claps is the White Queen.

A man, Bill's dad, takes a small crown with red rubies on it out of a box. He walks over to the Red Queen and tries to fit it on her head but it's too big for the crown.
