Alice returns to Wonderland, and takes her pet rabbit for a visit. An Adult Children's Story | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story The rabbit quickly jerked the chain, flipping the watch into his left paw. He moved the hands back a half hour or so. “I must find time to talk to you lovely ladies, although I am already late, of course.” Returning the watch with a fancy flip of the paw. It flew back into it's very own pocket in his jacket. “My name is Oscar, and what can and may I call you?” “I'm Alice, of course. I have been for four years anyways,” Alice told him, “and this is my rabbit Snowball.” She continued, while Snowball just appeared not to notice the dapper denizen of Wonderland. “And where are we going today?” “I am going to the queen's court today.” Oscar told them, “I'm a lawyer and my client is on trial, for his very life.” He walked around Snowball, giving her a few little sniffs, as she ignored him, continuing to eat the yummy grass. “You are welcome to come, it will be fun, except for the suspect, of course.” Alice was pondering, She had been told not to go with strangers, and none were stranger than Oscar, but did her Mama mean strange rabbits? Oscar, turning to the nervous Snowball. He was also, for whatever reason, nervous. “I will have to get you some appropriate clothing, young lady. Although I enjoy seeing you naked, it will not do in the Queen's Court.” He stammered. Snowball had never had any clothes, and had often wondered what it would be like. Also, she had never, ever, been around a male rabbit. While it was rude of him to mention the fact, it would be nice to see how she looked in them. “Alright, Sir.” She told Oscar. “I would like to go with you, and Alice. Could I have a dress like Alice's?” “Of course, My lady.” He flipped his watch and looked at it again. “Eleven Eleven minus five, we must hurry though. Follow me, please.” They walked for minutes, through a little forest and past a large wall, where A large egg sat. The egg looked sad, if an egg could look sad, that is. “Good morning Oscar, and ladies,” the polite egg addressed them, “and could you do me a favor, please?” “Not again Humpty.” Oscar scolded him. “Must you do this every day?” “Sorry Oscar, I can't help it.” The morose egg asked them again. “Please? I don't want to fall.” The three carefully helped Humpty Dumpty off the wall and safely to the ground. “Thank you, Ladies, and Oscar of course. I'm always afraid of falling.” He explained. “And you better hurry Oscar, can't keep the Black Queen waiting.” He turned to the girls, “she would chop off his head, you know.” “Why do you get up there, if you have trouble getting back down?” Snowball asked the egg. “It just seems the wrong thing to do.” “It's not my idea, the writer keeps putting me up there.” “Oh, I see,” said Alice, “sometimes writers are stupid. Mine had me falling and hurting my knee once, for no reason, at all.” They all took time to think about all the stupid things writer's did, before continuing to Oscar's little cottage. The cottage was very dirty, with only a male rabbit living there. He was far to busy being late to keep things in order. He did have a nice Purple and Yellow French maid's uniform for Snowball to wear. It was a perfect fit, although she refused the handcuffs and whip that went with it. Some people collect the strangest things, Alice decided. Alice and Snowball did notice a half dozen clocks ticking away, all with different times. How do you know which one is right, Oscar?” Snowball asked. “Simple, young lady, I add all the hour hands, and divide by six or seven, according to the month of the day and then add one fifth of the minute hands.” Oscar told them. He paused and whispered. “Then I dial the time on my telephone. Don't tell them, they might get mad.” “Oh.” replied both girls, too tired to figure it out. “We better get going.” Said Alice. They walked over the valley and through the woods, Oscar paying particular attention to the, now attired, Snowball. He would often take the trouble to nudge her, trying to slip his paw under her apron. Snowball, nature taking in's course, began joking with the eager Oscar. It was very entertaining for Alice, although she did feel kind of left out. Silly rabbits, she thought. They arrived at the Queen's Court. It was a serious sight. Many strange creatures were in attendance. The Black Queen sat on a large throne. Decks of cards stood all over the place, all of them clubs or spades. Most of them carried spears, but some had guns like the cowboys in the movies Alice watched late at night. A crowd was gathered. There was even hot dog stands and pony rides. Alice did notice a lot of huge dragons sitting alone, on one side. There was also a section of big ugly Ogres, making a lot of noise, as Ogres do. A great many unicorns were walking around the area, some with festive ribbons on their horns. Oscar reported to the queen, after finding a good place for the two girls to stand, and getting them some lemonade. Of course she was mad at Oscar, but they couldn't hear the bad words she used. Did you ever see a white rabbit with a red face? He came back and explained what was going on. to the girls. “You see, when things got too civilized on earth, a lot of the mythical creatures came to Wonderland.” He told them. “The unicorns and dragons are good citizens, but we have a lot of trouble with those ogres. They get in all kinds of trouble and don't want to follow the rules.” “Make them go away again.” Snowball suggested. “They look so scarey.” “Can't do that, the older ones are nice, but some of the teenagers get nasty.” He told the bunny girl. “My client hid in a bush and scared poor tweedle Dee. The white knight had to come over and chase him away. The poor knight fell off his horse again, and hurt his leg.” He shrugged. “Now the Black Queen wants to chop off his head.” “Chop off his head because he fell off his horse, you mean, or because he hurt his leg?” Alice asked. “No, I mean the ogre, UGGGy.” The rabbit corrected. “Then say what you mean, or mean what you say.” Alice, in turn, corrected Oscar. “And why don't you do what my Mama does when I'm bad. Tickle his stomach until he cries, that's better than cutting off his head.” When the trial started the ugly little ogre kid was found guilty. Oscar talked to the Black Queen and she sentenced him to being tickled. It was pretty bloody though. She had one of the big dragons tickle him, with his big claws, and blood went everywhere. That wasn't what Alice meant, but she did get to meet the Queen. “So, how do you like Wonderland, Alice?” The Queen asked her. “Did you have a good time, and do you want more tea?” The Black Queen had some real nice tea. It made Alice feel funny. She had trouble walking straight, but had a real good time. They were laughing and having so much fun, and drinking more tea, that Alice forgot all about Snowball and Oscar. A little later, Snowball came back to get Alice. Her clothes were all wrinkled, and she had a funny smile on her face. Oscar had his arm around the little girl bunny. He looked tired to Alice. Oscar took them back to where they came through and helped them back through the monitor. It had been a lot of fun, but Alice felt all sleepy and went right to bed. She had a headache when she woke up. It was worth it though, because a few months later Snowball had a whole lot of baby bunnys. Tweet
