Author's note: I decided to make Glitchtrap the Dormouse as the Dormouse is a companion of the Mad Hatter, for anyone who's confused by the name Dor-Bunny. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

"AAAAHHH!" Cook and Dum scream as they reach the end of the slide and fall on the ground. 

"Ugh...that was nauseating," Cook groans. "And Helpy, you should be more careful before just jumping down a mysterious trapdoor."

"Yeah yeah, whatever. You both weren't gonna do it, I did you both a favor by going in first. Besides, it paid off for both of us. I sacrificed myself for you guys and I got to see you both tumble down the slide like idiots," Helpy laughs. Dum and Cook stand up, brushing off the dust from the ground and then gaze around the room.

"So...this is where Hatter's been plotting. This place has clearly seen better days," Dum states.

"It's so dark and gloomy in here...could the Hatter not have chosen a less cliché lair?" Helpy wonders.

"That isn't the point now, Helpy. Right now, we should focus on finding that information before the Hatter returns. Hopefully, Cheshire is fine with stalling him. The Hatter seems really violent," Cook says.

"Seems really violent? He broke your wrist tried to murder you," Helpy reminds.

"And...well, we already know about Dee," Dum adds in an upset tone.

"Ok, maybe the way I said it was an understatement. The point is, we need to make sure we don't run into him, especially in his secret base," Cook says. "Now, let's get searching."

They split up to look around the room and through piles of paper, chests and in files. After a few minutes of searching, Dum comes across a keypad in the wall covered in dust. 

"Hey, girls. I found a keypad here," Dum notifies. Cook and Helpy rush over and spot the keypad too.

"That must be where the information lies," Cook suggests.

"But what could the code be?" Helpy wonders. 

"Hmm...well, it's a password that has five letters in it. What's related to the Hatter that has five letters?" Dum asks.

"If that's where the information is, maybe it has something to do with the revenge plot," Cook says.

"Or...it has to do with...The March Bear!" Helpy realizes. Cook and Dum look at Helpy with surprise as she quickly hops over to the keypad and stands on a box to press the keys. 

"Five letters...March?," Helpy reminds herself as she puts the letters in.

"Um...you don't think it's booby-trapped, right? I just don't want anything to trigger if we get it wrong," Cook wonders.

"Nah, the Hatter isn't that smart," Dum says. Helpy presses enter on the keypad and the wall slowly opens up.

"Helpy, you did it!" Cook congratulates. 

"Yeah, I'm a smart little sugar cookie," Helpy says with pride. The wall finally finishes opening, but what's on the other side takes everyone by surprise.
