"Wait! I just remembered." Alice said.
"What?" The Mad Hatter asked.
"I'm small to go into the castle. We'd have to go find the blue caterpillar first."
"Really?" he complained. "Fine."
They turned around and walked back into the forest.
"Luckily he's close by." The Mad Hatter said.
"Oh yeah, you remember where The Blue Caterpillar is but not The freaking Queen!" she shouted the last part.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I just visit The Caterpillar more." The Mad Hatter said. "Turn left and then we'll be there."
He turned right.
"I thought you said left!?" Alice exclaimed.
"I did. This is left."
"No, that's right."
"Left."
"Right."
"We're not going to get anything done if we keep arguing." The Mad Hatter stated.
"Yeah, fine. We'll go your left." she sighed.
They turned and found the giant mushroom.
"Which side was it again?" Alice asked.
"I don't know."
She sighed.
"The side you swap depends on what you want." said a voice.
"Caterpillar?" Alice said.
"Depends on who's asking." it said.
The Mad Hatter stepped up. "Its me."
"Ah yes, my old friend." the voice said.
"So, which side should she eat from it She wants to be taller." He asked the caterpillar.
"The left or the right." a puff of smoke appeared. "The left makes you bigger, the right makes you smaller."
Alice grabbed a bit from the left and ate it.
Then, she shrunk. She was now an centimeter tall.
Then loud booming laughter started.
Alice climbed up The Mad Hatter's leg. Up to his ear.
"Grab some from the right side!" she yelled.
The Mad Hatter did so, and handed it to Alice.
She jumped off The Mad Hatter and as she ate it.
Now she was just a lot taller than The Mad Hatter.
"Wait, when did you shrink yourself?" Alice asked confused.
"Oh. The queen shrunk my house while I was in it. Didn't you notice when you first came?"
"I guess not. Well, you better eat some too then." she handed some to The Mad Hatter.
He ate it.
The laughing continued.
"Man, you guess are too easy." it was the voice of The Cheshire.
The cloud of smoke disappeared and all that was left was The Cheshire.
"Cheshire! What are you doing here? And where is The Blue Caterpillar?" Alice asked, annoyed.
"Oh, that old thing? He's dead over there." he pointed with is paw to a tree behind them. "Yeah, green as grass he was."
"So you just killed him?" Alice exclaimed.
"Hey, you did the same thing. Remember?" he started hopping like a rabbit
"Enough of your tricks Cheshire! Where is The Caterpillar?" The Mad Hatter yelled.
"I told you." he pointed again. "If you don't believe me, go check."
Alice walked over to the tree. There, of the ground, was a small green caterpillar with white eyes.
"You really did kill him." she said.
The Mad Hatter's eyes widened. "You killed him!"
"Hey, didn't you say you'd return Wonderland back to normal even with murder. I'm just making it easier." The Cheshire shrugged.
"I'll kill you." he said quietly.
"I'd like to see you try." and with that, he disappeared.
