"Bryony, wake up my adventurer." Alice said as she entered her daughters room. "But mother it is so early can't I have just 3 more minutes?" Wined Bryony half asleep. Alice walked up to the curtains and opened then revealing the bright sunshine and pulled the covers off of Bryony. Bryony squinted at the light and sat upright rubbing her eyes and said, "Alright! Alright! But I must ask why you are waking me up at this time of day." Alice laughed and sat down on the bed. " Well it is your 9th birthday isn't it? And so we have to get you dressed and decorate the garden for your party!" Bryony's face brightened up and she smiled. "Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot! Let's go!"
The two got to the closet and they got all dressed up in their best outfits. Alice got in her dress from her trip to Asia. And Bryony wore a dress that was white with a black trim and black lace around the skirt. They then went outside to the car and there they found James in the drivers seat smiling and said "Happy birthday sunshine! We'd best be on our way to the garden to decorate for your party before the guests arrive!" Together they went to the garden and decorated everything exactly the way they had planned. "Mother when are all of the people coming?" Asked Bryony. Alice looked at her pocket clock and answered "They will all be here is 1 hour Bryony. Don't be so worried my dear." Bryony smiled and skipped around through the garden. She called it the garden because the walls were made of plants and she could never remember the real name. But she first had heard about the garden when her mother told her the story of a man whose name she could not remember proposed to her mother but she had turned him down and ran off to fall in a rabbit hole that lead to Wonderland (Underland). Bryony had her mother tell her that story every time it stormed outside to distract her from her fears of the loud booms and crackles from outside. She then started walking around and found a hallway like place and in it was a tree. She looked at it more closely and saw that it had a large hole! She automatically knew that that was the portal that goes to Underland! She ran to her mother and father. "Mother! Father! You will never believe what I have found!" They got shocked for a moment but the turned around and looked at heir daughter. "Well what is it sweetie? What did you find?" Asked James. Bryony caught her breath and said "I found the rabbit hole that mother fell threw that leads to Underland. Or was it Wonderland? I can never remember which was the real name." Alice bent down towards Bryony and said " I am happy that you have found it! How about after your party we go and check it out because we only have 12 minutes left until the guests arrive. "Let's go on an ADVENTURE!" Screamed Bryony.
