Alice in... her Dreamland?

Down We Go

My life on Earth was a simple one. I woke up, showered, strightened my hair, threw on the first dress I saw and went off to school. I'd come home, do my homework, go to softball, come back home and go to bed, I had a small group of friends and no one really understood us so they just kept away. I liked it like that. I liked not being the center of attention or being the person eveybody looked up to.

One morning I woke with a groan and a sneeze as my pet rabbit Peter gently rubbed the back of his paw over my nose.

"Peter..." I mumbled as I picked him up and put him back on the floor. "How in the Hell did you get back up onto my bed?" Expecting no reply I looked and saw that he had merely climbed the pile of clothes that sat at the foot of my bed. Gonna have to pick those up eventually. He climbed back up the little pile and gave me the most impatient look I had ever seen on a rabbits face. His little nose twitched and his eyes wide as he beckoned with his left ear for me to get a move on. Like the crazy guy expected me to do anything besides stare. He was acting strangely, it wasn't like him to be so restless. He was normally incredbily laid-back, well... he kind of had to be, my two-year-old niece always wants to hold him and she's not really strong enough to so he has fallen multiple times because of that dear child.

I finally forced myself out of my sitting position as the nerves in my legs began to prickle with pins and needles. I took one last look at the white puffball sitting on my bed and slowly made my way to the bathroom. The door stood adjar and the slight sound of running water came from the small room. I knocked on the door frame a couple times to make sure it was safe and when i peaked my head around the corner i saw that it was just mum brushing her teeth.

"Morning mum."

"Mphmgm." one moment. She said, her mouth full of toothpast and her brush.

"Got it." I declared and quietly started setting up my towel and all that jazz. She finnished up and left me alone .

I stood infront of my closet, my hair towel drying in a turbin type thingy as i perused the few dresses i hadn't already worn that week. Too pink. Too short. Too long. Ah, just right. My favorite light blue dress with a white Wednesday Addams colar and a small bejeweled belt. I carefully slid it on over the turbin and looked to Peter for approval. He flicked his ear once for yes. Before starting on my hair i quickly threw on a little mascara and my favorite natural pink lipstick. I quickly ran my damp hair through my flat iron and clipped my bangs back with a bow. When I turned around to look for my stockings I saw that Peter had taken off with them in his mouth. That damned rabbit! I chased after him, down the hall, through the living room and out the door. He kept going, my stockings turning brown as they collected dirt. Come on, that was my last clean pair! Around a corner, across the neighbors backyard and into nothing. I skidded to a halt a few feet awat from where he has disappeared.

"Peter?" I called out, even though I knew I wouldn't get an answer. I felt a slight shake from underneath me for a few secondsand then nothing again. "What the Hell? Peter?" The shaking resumed. "This is so weird." I whispered as I slowly walked forward and was plunged into near total darkness with only a shrinking circle of light above me...
