"I sincerely apologise." The figure's blonde hair bobbed gently as she navigated through the crowd. Her voice was scarcely a whisper.

"Where have you been, Alice? You're late!" She scanned her surroundings for the source of the voice, but upon glancing downward, she gasped slightly. The white rabbit stood there, clutching a clock.

"I apologise for not noticing you, Mr. Rabbit." She grinned and bent slightly. "I did not overlook anything substantial, did I?"

Her words were interrupted as Snow White was articulating her vows to Prince Charming; Alice redirected her focus and adjusted her posture slightly. The manner in which the two regarded one another, completely enamoured, elicited her smile.

Nevertheless, the doors burst open before they could share a blissful kiss. All eyes were drawn to the malevolent queen, whose sinister sneer could instill fear in anybody.

"Sorry I'm late." While she conversed, she examined the chapel. As she traversed the aisle, she commenced her movement. When two soldiers attempted to impede her progress, she merely raised her palm and compelled them to be propelled aside.

"It's the Queen. Run!" Doc articulated in a tone of trepidation. Upon perceiving the white rabbit's agitation beside her, Alice promptly bent down once more to provide him solace.

"Please, inhale deeply; everything is fine, quiet now." Alice caressed his head softly while whispering. smiled reassuringly to alleviate his concern. Snow White unsheathes Prince Charming's sword and directs it towards the malevolent queen.

"She's not the Queen anymore. She's nothing more than an evil witch." Glaring at the woman in front of her, the princess said as she tipped the blade slightly lower.

"No, no, no. Don't stoop to her level. There's no need."Carefully extracting the sword from Snow, Prince Charming murmured. The queen scrutinised them."You're wasting your time. You've already lost. And I will not let you ruin this wedding."

"Oh, I haven't come here to ruin anything. On the contrary, dear, I've come to give you a gift." Alice recognised that the gift she had intended to give would not be well-received upon her utterance.

Snow gave her a focused gaze. "We want nothing from you."

"But you shall have it! My gift to you is this happy, happy day. But tomorrow, my real work begins. You've made your vows, now I make mine. Soon, everything you love, everything all of you love, will be taken from you. Forever. And out of your suffering, will rise my victory. I shall destroy your happiness, if it is the last thing I do." When the Evil Queen realises she has captured the attention of the crowd and has been heard, she turns around and goes to the entrance. Prince charming gives her a call.

"Hey."

The Queen reflects. She disappears before Prince Charming can even draw his sword against her. The remaining wedding guests engage in uncomfortable conversation while Snow White and Prince Charming share an embrace.

"What happens now?" Alice pondered, nervously manipulating her fingers, apprehensive about the potential of the future.

Amelia hummed softly, a brief melody, as she closed the door of her tea business. Her tea company, which she owned, operated, and offered a diverse selection of teas, was secured for the night.

The brown-eyed girl's attention was drawn to an automobile that was heading into town. Her head tipped to the side as it moved to the right. A woman with blonde hair stepped out of the car grumpily, and a young boy—whom she recognised right away as Henry—stepped out as well.

"Look, it's been a long night and it's almost... 8:15?" The blond woman said, gazing at the enormous clock. Amelia also glanced up at it and saw that, as far as she was aware, the clock hadn't moved.

Amelia ultimately approached the pair after they had conversed for some time. "Your mother has been searching extensively for you." Both individuals turned to observe the young girl with blonde hair as she made her statement.

"I..uhh went in search of my real mother." He asserts that Amelia turned to confront him, bewildered, while he examined the women with blonde hair. Despite his frequent discussions on the subject, she did not anticipate that Henry would locate his biological mother so swiftly.

"Sorry for interrupting, but who are you?" Amelia turned to confront her and immediately felt remorse for failing to introduce herself and for interrupting their conversation.

"I apologise for not introducing myself; my name is Amelia Kaiser, and it's a pleasure to meet you." She expressed that she sensed something amiss with the elder woman, however she was unable to identify the specific issue.

"She has the best tea; every one of her cups is amazing and unusual." Henry spoke his thoughts while clutching his storybook tightly to his chest. His remarks elicited a slight blush from Amelia.

"My name is Emma, and my only goal is to bring him home." Exhibiting signs of fatigue and a desire to leave the city, Emma articulated her thoughts.

"His house is located not far down the main straight; you will recognise it upon sight. However, I should return home as Dinah is likely missing me excessively." She excused herself and walked away from them.

"She is strange." Emma leant against the automobile, her arms crossed, and spoke. "In your storybook, who is she?"

"She's Alice from Wonderland," He glanced at his book and responded, opening it. An illustrated page depicting Alice's exploration of Wonderland was included.

"That makes sense, but why is Alice cursed if she returns to the real world when she left Wonderland and it was all a dream for her?" Emma queried upon noticing a second individual approaching them, who was also accompanied by a dog.

"It never said, but she's here with all of them, and she won't leave until the curse is lifted." Henry spoke up, then spun around to watch Arthur approach them.

- Now that the first chapter is complete, you simultaneously get to know Alice and Amelia. The reason Henry is unaware of Alice's fate after Wonderland is that her story has come to an end, therefore what she does there is still a mystery.
