"And as for you your majesty, 'your majesty' indeed!"

Your fly open, and you realize you're back in the dream as you're holding Terapagos again. You look around to see you're in some sort of court room. You find yourself seated in the jury box next to the other members, wo don't seem to see you. The one shouting was none other then the blonde haired girl in the blue dress standing on a podium, sending a glare to the Queen who resides in the judges seat.

"Why, you're not a queen." The girl continues. "You're just a fat, pompous, bad tempered, old ty-tyrant!"

 Whoa, she's really giving it to the Queen. You're so proud.

But the Queen didn't seem to be paying attention to the girl. In fact, she was just looking at herself in the mirror. "Mmhmmhmmhmmhmm... what were you saying my dear?"

A purple striped cat materialized on top of the Queen's crown wearing a large grin. "Well, she simply said you're a fat, pompous, bad tempered, old tyrant!"

Oh shit. The Queen looks enraged as you cautiously hop out of the jury box and edge away towards what seems to be the exit.

The cat then laughs like he said the most funniest thing in the world and disappeared, winking in your direction as he goes. The Queen turned beet red (reminding you of... Riddle... oh... oh-), her shoulders shaking with unbridled fury. She points at the girl. "Ooooff with her head!"

The card soldiers surrounded the girl, all wielding sharp spears in the shapes of hearts or spades. The little man besides the Queen in a smaller chair stood up excitedly. You think he might be the king.

"You heard what Her Majesty said, off with her head!" All the card soldiers drew their weapons in sync and started approaching the girl's podium. The poor girl looked around fearfully trying to find a way out.

You can't let that happen to her. You run up to the girl, grabbing her hand. "Come on! We can't waste any more time!"

She opens her mouth to speak, as everyone looks shocked at your appearance as you drag the girl, running towards the exit and shoving past the card soldiers. One tries to stab you, but Tera's sheild easily blocks the blow as you keep going.

You three burst out of the courtroom as you keep moving, slipping away through the large rose maze until you three burst out, dashing until you three hide behind a tree, the girl gasping for breath as you pant a bit.

"Hey- uh- are you okay?" You ask after a moment, peering out to make sure no one followed you and are satisfied when you realize you two are in the clear.

"I- yes! Thank you!" She smiles at you. "Saving me was very kind of you."

"No issue." You say with a smile, and Tera squeaks in agreement. "What's your name? I'm Y/N."

"My name is Alice Liddell." She says with a curtsy, blinking at you harmlessly.

"Hm? Oh, no need to curtsy." You shake your head a bit. "I don't need formality and stuff. Where's your house? We should get you back home as soon as possible."

"Oh... that's the issue." Alice places a hand at her chin. "I followed that white rabbit down the rabbit hole. And well..."

"Oh, I... see..." You frown a bit. "Hey, how about we get you back to where you fell down? Maybe I can help you climb back up."

"Oh!" Alice smiles brightly. "That would be lovely, thank you Y/N!"

She takes your hand again and you two walk side-by-side, chatting about Alice's life as you explain what Tera is. Alice is... very curious, though a very sweet girl. She's sixteen, like you, and was reading a boring book with her sister and pet cat Dinah. Then, she saw a rabbit wearing human close yelling about how it was late, and she snuck off and fell down a rabbit hole.

She had many strange, small adventures in this place called 'Wonderland' (guess this dream Wonderland wasn't called 'Twisted Wonderland'), meeting a bunch of humanoid birds, a talking doorknob, strange twins, finding the talking white rabbit (who wasn't very nice, making her go fetch his gloves), constantly change randomly in size, meeting the Chesire Cat (who sounds like he's a lot like Che'nya), meeting the Mad Hatter and March Hare, getting lost in the woods and led to the Queen of Heart's garden, painting the roses and being forced to play croquet with hedgehogs and flamingos, telling you how the Queen cheated and how she was put on trail...

"And then you were kind enough to save me!" She finishes with a smile.

You let out a low whistle. "Damn. That's surely an adventure. I'm also stuck in another world, and I come here sometimes when I dream..."

"Strange." Alice remarks. "Well, I do certainly hope you get home soon! You're a very kind, well-behaved young lady... unlike myself."

You snort. "Ha! Well-behaved? No, no I'm not. Appreciate the compliment though. Anyways, I'm sure your sister loves you dearly, even if you don't love an ordinary world."

"Well, I certainly enjoy it now." Alice sighs. "You're the most normal person here, despite your "Pokémon" friend."

"I can see why..." You smile a bit. "This world is a weird as Heartslabyul."

"What's that?" Alice asks.

"Well, it's the house who Deuce and Ace are in." You explain, having already told her about who Ace and Deuce were ("Like cards!" She had pointed out). "The one where tomorrow they're going to fight the Housewarden, Riddle..."

"Oh..." Alice frowns a bit. "I don't see why fighting is necessary."

"Well, Ace is upset with Riddle. Riddle's... very strict, similar to the Queen of Hearts. But I think Riddle at least has well-placed intentions, but the boys refuse to apologize to eachother and Riddle won't see the error of his ways."

"Oh dear."

"Mmhm. I'm worried for the two, to be honest. I just feel like something will go wrong..."

"Well, you're smart and quick-thinking. I'm sure you can solve any issues that occur."

"I hope you're right, Alice."

"I certainly think I am." Alice tilts her head at you. "Y/N, I do hope you get home soon. You deserve it."

"Aw, thank you." You say with a smile. "We'll get you home first, though. This forest is quite... big..."

"Yes..." Alice sighs. "It seems to keep changing. We need to keep an eye out for a little, ah! There it is!"

You look over and see a small, brown door with a golden knob with a face on it, the door being asleep. Alice cheerfully walks over to the door and crouches down.

"Pardon me?" She asks, and the door opens an eye.

"...yeah?" The door asks, looking unamused.

"Do you mind opening for me?" Alice asks.

"Nope." The door replies. "You're too big."

"Drat!" Alice huffs, stepping back.

"One moment." You say, walking up. "Excuse us, but can you please open? We can easily crawl through you, so can you please open and let us through?"

"Mmm..." The door squints. "No."

You glare at the door. "Alice, cover your ears please."

Alice blinks innocently in confusion yet complies, and you glower at the door as you cover Tera's ears.

"Listen here, you hijo de puta. Refusing to open up for an innocent girl is a fucking jackass move, and if you don't open up, I'll simply kick you open, you maldito imbécil, espero que mueras en un agujero después de presenciar cómo el árbol del que naciste fue carbonizado hasta convertirse en cenizas con un lanzallamas."

The doors eyes widen. "I- I can't open. I'm locked."

Alice pokes you on your shoulder. "Maybe we should peer through? I think I left the key on the other side, maybe if we find it, we can call someone to get it?"

"Oh, that's a good idea. Here, you look." You step aside as Alice crouches down and peeks through. After a moment, she freezes and gasps in shock.

"Oh my! That's me!" She yelps out.

"Hm?" You raise an eyebrow and crouch down as well, Alice moving aside a bit for you to look through.

"Oh dear Arceus! It is!" You stare in shock at seeing a sleeping Alice laying against a tree, a white flower crown laid gently on her head.

"What does that mean?" Alice asks in horror, looking incredibly startled.

"Uh... perhaps-" You don't get a chance to finish saying your thought.

"There they are!" You and Alice look over and see several card soliders quickly approaching.

"Get them! Queens orders!" One barks out, weilding a spear.

You move to stand defensively in front of Alice, but you feel the pulling feeling again.

"Ah! Y/N! You're fading!" Alice grabs your hands, her eyes wide in shock.

"Alice!" You yelp back. "Alice! I think your dreaming!"

"Wh- what!?" She asks.

"Dreaming!" You repeat. "Look, that's you, right? I think you're alseep and this is like my dream! You need to wake up!"

"I-"

"Trust me Alice! You'll be okay! I promise you just need to wake up! Just try opening the door!" You smile at Alice, feeling a few tears well in your eyes. "Don't lose your head, my curious new friend!"

"Y/N- I-" Alice takes a breath. "Alright!"

She lets you go and you hug Tera a bit tighter as you feel yourself be yanked away.

You feel like... you just made a major impact, somehow. You don't mind, feeling satisfied that you brought Alice her happy ending.

Alls well that ends well, huh?

--------

You feel your eyes flutter open as you sit up in your bed, stretching your arms above your head as you climb out, ready to get ready for the day.

You pause when you see a black ribbon, similar to Alice's, resting on the table beneath the mirror. You approach and see it resting on a small photo of Alice, smiling next to a woman you assume is her sister and holding a small dark orange cat in her lap. That must be Dinah.

You smile, carefully hiding the picture in a drawer as you take the black ribbon and tie it in a bow on your sunhat, humming peacefully all the while.

Time to get ready for the day.
