"Alyssa!" I blearily open my eyes as I hear someone calling my name.
"Oh my God, thank goodness you're okay!" Mum said as she wrapped me in a bear hug and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think we should cancel the recording for today. Wouldn't want you fainting in the booth. Rest up okay." An unfamiliar woman says after helping me to the bed.

I sit there in shock, reeling from what I've just discovered. Still feeling a bit lightheaded but determined to figure this out. I need to tell someone about this. Where do we even go from here? Would they even believe me?

"Mum. Uh, I need to tell you something. Something important." I say, trying to be as serious as possible.
"Of course honey, what is it?" She says, a loving and encouraging smile on her face

"Okay this is gonna sound crazy, but hear me out, alright."
"Go ahead, dear."
"Okay." I say taking a deep breath in. "I'm not really from this world. I think I'm in an alternate reality."
Her eyebrows raise in suspicion but before she can question anything I continue.

"I know it sounds crazy but I can prove it." I fish around in my pocket for something. Aha! Got it. What I bring out is a folded Polaroid photo of me standing with my family. I hand it to her and eyes widen in shock as she scans the photo.

"In the world I'm from we look completely different. I also never became a singer in my universe." I say trying to explain.

"You didn't?!" She says as if that's the most astonishing part of this whole situation. I laugh as her shocked expression amplifies.

"I guess this universe's version of me has more confidence than I do." I say sombrely.
"So if you're here, where is my Alyssa." She says looking both concerned and confused.
"I have no clue, but if I'm in her body I'm guessing she's in mine."
"Will she be okay?"
"I'm sure she'll be fine, I'm pretty sure my universe isn't that different from here. Although we do live in the UK instead of America."
"So that's why you sound different! The accent." We both laugh.

"So what do we do now?" I asked.
"Melissa! We need some help in here." She called out.

Velvety red curtains draw open to reveal dark spooky woods. From the trees, Meena bursts out, fearful and panicked, flashlight in hand, dashing for her life. In her haste, she stumbles to the ground but before she could even catch her breath or collect her thoughts, the very earth beneath her crumbles away and she falls.

When she lands, Meena is mesmerised as the the room is filled with fireflies until she sees a small door leading to somewhere but when she tries to look through, the door expands to reveal 3 women in funky looking outfits playing the guitar.

"Let's go crazy!"

The flowers around them started coming to life, dancing to the music.

"Let's go crazy!"

More of flowers start to dance and form a pathway for Meena to walk towards some bushes.

She walks close enough to see Rosita dressed as the Cheshire Cat, standing up and joining in on the dance.

(ROSITA):
"If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around
At least you've got friends."

Meena turns to the sound of the piano, seeing Johnny dressed as the Mad Hatter.

(JOHNNY):
"You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
Ah, ah, is all I heard!"

Rosita makes her way over to him, standing on a mushroom.

(JOHNNY & ROSITA):
"Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down
Oh no, let's go!
Let's go crazy!
Let's get nuts!"
