After the fun day, and later in the night, everyone is having a goodnight sleep. Only this time, everyone decides to sleep in the room the girls are sleeping in. Everyone makes themselves comfortable as they sleep in the room.

Grim of course is talking in his sleep, "Myah... Mmm... I've got dibs on that turkey..."

Just then, the mirror in the room begins to glow again. Briar soon wakes up from her sleep and looks to see the mirror glowing.

"The mirror... is glowing again," Briar says softly to herself.

Curious, Briar gets out of bed and walks towards the mirror, until she accidentally steps on Grim's tail by mistake.

Grim yelps in his sleep, "Gyah! Watch the tail..." and soon go back to sleep, snoring.

Briar then slowly sneaks past Grim and makes sure to be careful. Soon, Briar reaches the mirror She looks inside, and to her shock, she can see someone knocking. And appearing in the mirror is the same silhouette from that very night.

Briar gasps in shock and says, "It's the same round eared figure from that time."

Then she hears the voice "Is...someone there? Who are you?"

"Oh, um, my name is Briar... Briar Hawthorne," Briar answers

"Briar Hawthorne? It's got a strange and beautiful ring to it!" The figure says.

"And uh, who are you?" Briar asks.

The figure answers, "I'm Mickey. Mickey Mouse."

Then asks, "Am I dreaming again?"

"Dream," Briar says to herself..

Mickey continues, "I've had this same dream three times already. There are always living cards and a dancing music box, too... But your voice gets clearer and clearer every time. Is it possible that you're not a dream? Where are you?"

"This is..." Briar begins to answer, " Twisted Wonderland..."
