Welcome to Wonderland (OCxOC)

Prologue

It was currently nigh time in 1855 London. Most people were already fast asleep. But not everyone. 

Currently Lord Ascot and his friends were talking with Charles Kingsley about his new venture that he wanted to go on. Though everyone disagreed that this was a good idea because of the many dangers made it seem impossible. Though Charles didn't believe anything could be impossible. As he said "For some the only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it's possible." 

Their discussion had to cut short however because of Charles's two younger daughters, Alice and Scarlet, were in the doorway having just woken up from a nightmare. Charles excused himself as he took his daughters back to their shared room, listening to them explaining their dream with utmost seriousness. Not judging them, making fun of them or dismissing their fear and worry. 

"Do you think we've gone round the bend?" Scarlet asked looking up at her dad with a gentle look. Charles put his hand on both of their foreheads as if feeling for a fever. "I'm so. You're mad. Bonkers. Off your head. But I'll tell you a secret...all the best are." he said which made both of them giggle happily. "It's only a dream. Nothing can hurt you there" he said taking his hand off their foreheads. "But if you do ever get too frightened you can always wake up, like this" he said before gently pinching their arms causing them to scream quickly before pinching him themselves. 

But they would eventually find out the truth about their dreams.
