Alice in Wonderland World part 5
Sarah marched down the hallway in between the two emplyee’s in playing card outfits. “Look if this is about that house I can pay for the damages. I don’t really know what to say but things became a bit too real.”
“Quiet.” Sarah gulped. The guard ahead of her in a two of hearts outfit so real Sarah almost belived it was a living playing card said, “You have been summoned by the Queen.”
Sarah ran her hands over her apron. “Why? Is it something special to do with the park?”
“You will find out when we get there.”
Sarah sighed and rested her hands on the side of her dress. “Come on. I don’t see the reason to not tell me. This is nothing but a wonderland themed park. No need to take your jobs so seriously.”
The three of spades behind her laughed. “Park? We are in the red queen’s castle. Show respect Alice.”
Sarah narrowed her eyes. “I am not. . . oh never mind.” They walked down the torch light hallway. There were red hearts desgined into the walls and floor. Eventually they came up to a massive heart shapped door and the two of hearts guard pointed at it.
“Ok Alice. Open it.”
Sarah put her hands on her hips. “Isn’t that your job? You work here right?”
He pulled out a sword from his side. “Do it unless you want to lose your head.”
Sarah gulped. “Fine, fine.” She grasped the golden door handel. “I don’t want to lose my head.” She then slowly pushed the massive doorway open, the golden hindges creaking as it inched forward. On the other side of the gate stood a massive court room filled will strange looking people. To her left a jury box filled with an assortment of bipedal animals in small outfits holding small note pads and to her right a bench with only a few people sitting. Sarah narrowed her eyes as she recogined those sitting there.
“You have got to be kidding me. What is Gregory doing here and why is he dressed up as the Mad Hatter?”
Sarah felt one of the guards press into her from behind. “Move over to the bench with the others.”
“Ok, ok.” She shook her head. “You can ask nicely.” She quickly walked over and sat down next to Gregory.
“So how did you end up here?”
“Do you want some tea miss?”
“Umm no?” Sarah shook her head. “Gregory I just want to know why in the world. . .” She narrowed her eyes as he dipped a pocket watch into a tea cup. “Umm never mind.” She looked down and put her hands into her dress. “I wish I knew just what was going on here. Everyone else is going crazy.”
She raised her head the playing card guards raised trupmets and played them all at once. She than spotted her friend Carien, who now looked like a human white rabbit. Sarah took a deep breath as her friend hopped up towards the center of the room. “Keep it together. You will find a way out of this for both you and Carien. Just need more time.” Sarah sighed.
Carien raised her voice. “Everyone please stand up.” Sarah jumped to her feet. “Now please be seated for the illisotrious Red Queen.” Sarah turned her head as a woman she had never seen before entered the courtroom in a massive red and black dress. She had long dark hair and her blue eyes scanned the room as she approached her seat in the center of the room. Once she had seated herself a small man with a crown dashed out with a timid wave. Sarah arched an eyebrow as she recognized Patrick. He took a seat next to the Red Queen as he adjusted his red suit.
The Red Queen than slammed her hand down onto the podium. “Silence.”
Carien looked up and lowered her white ears. “No one has spoken yet my queen.”
She crossed her arms. “I know. But it will do good to remind them of their place.” She smiled. “So who’s head are we removing from their sholder today?”
Carien turned around and fumbled with something that Sarah couldn’t see. When she turned back around she had a long scroll in her hands. “Let’s see.” She ran her paw down the scroll. “The accused is charged with disrupting the natural order of Wonderland, destruction of the ducusses house, and theft of the royal tarts.”
The Red Queen jumped to her feet. “Off with their head.”
“But don’t you want to know who the accused is?”
“Off with all of their heads.”
Patrick pulled at her dress. “We should at least see who the accused is my love.”
She took a deep breath. “Fine.” She crossed her arms. “At the very least it will be somewhat more amusing that way.” She sat down and crossed her arms. The Red Queen than pointed at Carien. “Well than let’s get on with it.”
She hopped in place and nodded. “Umm first we need to call a witness who has witnessed these atositess in action.”
The Red Queen rolled her eyes. “Fine.”
Carien stood up as straight as she could, even stretching her white fluffy ears upward. “Will the Mad Hatter come to the stand?”
Gregory suddenly stood up and spilled his tea into Sarah’s lap. “Oh my.” He looked all around him. “Look at me, having to speak and no hat in sight.”
Sarah shook her head. “There is one on your head Gregory.”
He touched the giant green hat with a 10/6 card sticking out of it. “Ohh.” He laughed the deepest laugh she had ever heard come out of his body. “Of course it is there. How silly of me.” He then skipped up towards the small podium just below the Red Queen’s chair. “And how are you doing my lady?”
She narrowed her eyes at him. “Get on with it if you want to keep that head of yours.”
He laughed. “Why of course.” He reached for his hat. “I remember it like it was yesterday my lady.”
“Gurds stop him!” The Red Queen jumped to her feet, her cheeks roasy red.
Gregory held his arms out to the side, his massive hat in one hand and his other hand waving in the air. “I was just removing my hat.” He gently touched one of the spears pointed at him. “My queen.”
She sat back down. “Carry on. But I am watching you.”
He smiled. “Thank you.” Gegory slowly picked up the tea cup which had been sitting on his head and set it down before him. “So there I was, having my tenth tea break of the day.”
“And why would be having another tea break of the day?” asked Carien
Gregory took a sip. “Because ever seince I had an agurment with time it is stuck at six pm.” He held up his pocet watch. “And do you know what time that is?” When no one answered Gregory said, “Tea time.” He drew his left hand across his brow. “Oh how dreadful it always being tea time.” He took yet another sip.”
The Red Queen tapped her fingers away on the wooden edge of her chair. “What does that have to do with this case?”
He took another sip. “Well I had been sipping on my mandatory tea when I had seen it.” His eyes went dark. “Oh it is too horibile to recall.”
The Red Queen narrowed her eyes. “You will recall what you saw hatter.”
He took a huge gulp from the tea cup. “Oh but it was truly dreadful. A perfect plate of tarts just sitting there like that and then they. . .” He shuddered. “Then they weren’t. It was too much to bear and I needed more tea to calm me down.” He took another sip.
The Red Queen stood up. “Ok but who was it that you saw. Tell me if you want to keep that head of yours.”
He quickly drank the rest of his cup and turned around. “Why Alice over there of course.”
Sarah crossed her arms. “For the last time that isn’t my name.” She gulped as two spears were pointed at her.
The Red Queen smiled. “Ahh perfect. Off with her—
“Oh honey I think we should let the poor dear talk first.” Patrick’s shrill voice filled the court room. “It is a kind thing don’t you think.”
The Red Queen looked down at the king with seething anger. For a moment Sarah thought that she was going to explode but suddenly the red in her eyes vanished. “Of course. We can let Alice speak.” The spears were pulled away. “Hatter you are excused.” Gegory jumped up and ran back to his seat, another tea cup pulled out of seemingly nowhere.
Then all eyes turned onto Sarah, she gulped and slowly stood up. The playing card guards parted and created a path for her to the podium. She put her hands into her apron pockets and walked forward.
Once she was standing in the podioum the Red Queen stood up and yelled, “Off with her head, off with her head.”
“But I haven’t even had a chance to say anything yet!”
The Red Queen narrowed her eyes. “Alright. Get on with it already.”
“I didn’t take your tarts.” She crossed her arms. “I have never seen any tarts before.”
“Nonsense. You have already been identified as the tart theif by our expert eye witness.” The Red Queen pointed over at Gregory who was sining to his tea cup. “His tesomony proves it.”
Sarah shook her head. “You have got to be kidding me.”
“So you comfirm you stole my tarts. Off with her head!”
Sarah slapped herself on the brow. “I didn’t comfirm anything.” She looked over at Carien. “Carien it’s me Sarah. Come on let’s get out of this crazy park while we still can.”
The Red Queen slammed her hand down. “Stop trying to trick everyone Alice. Now if you don’t have anything further to say in your defense can we move.”
Sarah gulped and slid her hands back into her pockets. There she felt the mushrooms from before and a small smile crept onto her face. As the Red Queen coutuinned to talk she threw one of the mushrooms into her mouth hoping that it would be the right one to get her out of this situation.
“Now that I have all of the evidinace to make my little hubby here happy I can finnaly say with confinance off with her. . .” The Red Queen gulped as Sarah quickly began to grow.
