We're in Wonderland

Chapter 1

"Lexi!!" my mother screams.

I mess with the red feather in my hair, I twirl it around. "Yes, mother?" I reply.

"You are to be getting ready for the wedding!" she screams.

"I am ready, thank you," I say.

"No! A black dress is not appropriate!"

"So, it's my style, a stranger's wedding."

"Lexi, he is no stranger! This is your brother for Christ sake! Get in a white dress!"

"Mother, only the bride is to wear a wedding dress. Not the little brat." I smile with a bit of sassy in it.

"Ugh! Just listen to me! Wear something nice and non-black!" She storms out my room. I snicker.

"Haha, I win. Like always!" I laugh and look to my brown-blonde hair and red front highlight. It's a mess. All over the place. I laugh at it. I look around, then to my closet. I cross my arms and stand in front of it. "Hmmm... I wonder..." I walk into it and grab a dark red to black dress. I grab a black net glove. A black belt too. I quickly throw it on.

I hear a knock on the door. I open it to see Carrissa at it. "Cute outfit!" she yells.

"Thanks, I guess. I like yours to," I reply.

She smiles and walks in. I look to her dark blue dress. "Thank you."

"You sound excited."

She smiles and twirls in her dress. "I am, I am! Sad your brother, my old crush, is getting married. But I get to be with you! Yay!"

"Wow, okay. Never knew you had a crush on my older brother, but okay."

"Oh! Come on! We have to go get our seats!"

"Tell me we are sitting at the back!" I yell as she drags me to the wedding.

We sit in the last row. I watch as my brother tears up, as his bride goes down the aisle. I roll my eyes and takes Carrissa's wrist. I take her to the back garden.

"Lexi, what are you doing? Your brother us being wedded right now."

"So, it's getting boring. Now, lets walk around."

"Okay, fine!" she whines. I roll my eyes and sit by a tree. She sits next to me. I smiles and feel the ground sink.

"Oh, hell no!" I scream before we both fall down a hole. Carrissa scream as I shut my eyes and lay down in my back in the wind.

I land on my back, softly to the ground. I look to Carrissa. She lays there petrified. I smile and say, "That was awesome."

"Are you fucking kidding?! We just fell like a hundred fucking feet!!" Carrissa freaks.

I smile and laugh a bit. "Carrissa, calm it. Really, take a chill pill."

She takes a deep breathe and I see a table behind her. I see a key, cake, and a small drink. The cake says "Eat me" as the drink says "Drink me".

"What do you want to do?" I ask Carrissa, picking the key up. I stuff it in my pocket.

"Um, this looks like how Alice enters Wonderland. So, grab the key, cake, then take a drink of the apparent bad drink," Carrissa says.

"You're such a nerd."

"Okay, your point?"

"You are good to have around. Here, stuff the cake." I hand her the casing of the cake. She puts it into her little pocket in her dress. I grab the drink and look at it. "This will be nasty." I take a drink quickly. Then Carrissa does.

"Ew." She wipes her mouth off. I wipe my mouth as well, as we shrink to about four inches tall. I look around and see a door.

"Carrissa, door," I say, walking to it. I have the key in hand.

"Lexi! Ugh," she says, then she begins to follow me. "This is the door to Wonderland, I believe."

"Well, you are correct!" the door speaks.

"Oh, wow, okay. Um... This is not crazy at all." Holy shit, a fictional door talking. That is so totally normal.

"Now all you do is put the key, in the key slot." He smiles and opens it up. I put the key in and he opens.

"Yes!" I yell.

"Do we keep the key good sir?" Carrissa asks.

"No. Just lay it down," the door says.

I set the key down and grab Carrissa's wrist. I run with her until we hit the forest. "This is amazing," I say, looking around.

"Yeah, it is," Carrissa agrees.

Then two every similar people and faces come up to us.

"Which one of you is Alice?" both of them ask, smiling.

I look to Carrissa. She looks to me. She looked worry, I'm just waiting to be told what the hell to do.

"We aren't Alice, we are just to people who mistakenly fell into the hole by the white rabbit," Carrissa says.

"Yep. She screamed down, I relaxed down it," I say, smiling.

The two boys laugh. Carrissa rolls her eyes at us and she sits by a tree.

"Carrissa, it was a joke," I say, laughing a bit.

"So, you still are making fun of me," she replies. I walk to her and sit in front of her.

"We weren't meaning to. We we're just trying to have a laugh. That's it," I comfort.

"I know." She smiles a bit, but I knew it was fake.

"A real smile."

She smiles, truly. I smile back.

"Hey, what are your names?" Carrissa asks.

"I am Wilson," the one in blue Jeans and a black long sleeve says.

"I am Johnson," the one in black jeans and a blue long sleeve says.

"Well, I am Carrissa. This is Lexi," Carrissa says.

"She looks scary," they say. Johnson hides behind Wilson.

"Oh, she's not that scary. Just be lucky right now."

"Um, do you know where we can, uh, you know, stay the night?" I ask, feeling stupid.

"Johnson, will he let them stay with him?" Wilson asks Johnson.

"I don't know. Should we even bring them from the forest?"

"Should we take the risk?"

"Yes. I think the hatter will be pleased that we tried to help for once."

Wilson nods and they face me and Carrissa again. Carrissa looks to me.then them. I just lean against a tree.

"May I help you?" I hear from behind me. I open my eyes and turn around on my heels.

"Where the hell did you come from?" I ask.

"Outer space. From the tree, smart one," he replies.

"My name is Lexi, smart one."

"Clyde."

"Like Bonnie and Clyde?"

"Nope. Unless you want to Bonnie."

"Nope. You're not my type."

"Sure."

"You're not," Carrissa says in the background.

"Thank you Carrissa." I walk back to them. "So what's the plan?"

"We are taking you to our boss's home!" the twins yell.

"Um..."

"Mad Hatter's son," Carrissa explains.

"Oh, okay... Will he let us stay there?"

Wildon shrugs. "We won't know till we get there."

"Great...."
