Summary:

What happens when a tea lover from another world clashes with the wondrous world of Underland? What will all the creatures and plants alike think of the new yet odd incomer? Most of all, how did he get there?

Notes: This is my first ever crossover, so please be nice. Ha ha, I never had the nerve to make a crossover until this day. Probably going to be a two-shot, if not more.


While wandering through his garden, in search of those special leaves perfect for any tea, Iroh had found an odd shaped hole in the ground.

"Aye, that wasn't there before" Iroh mumbled to himself, stepping closer to the hole.

The hole seemed natural enough, and Iroh didn't think too deep into how it had gotten to be in his garden. Perhaps a night creature had come during the night, and dug themselves a home in his garden.

Curiosity got the better of the man as Iroh knelt down in front of the large hole, his hands gripping the tall, yet dried up grass.

"Hello!" he called into the hole, only to hear the echo of his voice.

Realizing that whatever had made such a hole was not home, he attempted to stand, only to lose his footing, and he fell.

Falling into the deepness of the hole, his eyes were wide, and he screamed at the top of his lungs. He had no clue of what was happening, but he knew he didn't like it. Several times, he made attempts to climb back up to the top. As random objects fell, he tried to use them as a way out, jumping from one object to the next. He had almost reached the top when he slipped, and once again the man fell. This time he did not struggle, letting himself fall deeper into the hole.


At some point during his seemingly endless fall, his eyes had clamped shut. His eyes remained shut, even when the ground stilled underneath him. His breathing was shallow, and he could hear voices around him. Although the voices sounded pleasant enough, he did not dare open his eyes - at least not yet.

"What is that?" he could hear a small, yet confident filled voice asked.

A shaky voice replied, "I don't know, but I think it's a who, not a what."

"Where did it-sorry-where did he come from?" he heard the first voice ask.

"Well… I was hopping on my way to the Queen's court when I see this one right here falling from the sky."

"You think he's a human?" asked the first voice.

"Doesn't look like any human I ever met." replied the second.

"Maybe there's more worlds than just Alice's and ours?" suggested the first voice.

"The thought is a crazy one, but I think you may be onto something…"

"Should we wake him?" the first voice asked, "You know…so we can ask him questions?"

Iroh opened his eyes as he heard footsteps approaching. "I'm awake." he spoke, glancing around his surroundings. His eyes widened as he took in the sight of the creatures in front of him.

In front of the old man stood a small dormouse and a white rabbit, staring him down curiously.

"Who are you?" asked the white rabbit.

Shocked, Iroh exclaimed in a whisper "You can talk."

"Yes, that I can." replied the rabbit.

"But you're a rabbit…how's that possible?"

The white rabbit sighed, growing impatient. After all, time was ticking.

"Look, uh…" the rabbit began, but paused realizing he did not know what to address the man as.

"Iroh." the old man filled in.

The rabbit nodded, and went on "Look Iroh, putting all logic aside, you are in a different world than the one you might have came from."

"I kind of realized that when you started talking" replied Iroh.

Ignoring the response Iroh gave, the rabbit continued to speak. "My name is McTwisp. Nivens McTwisp, but if you prefer to call me White Rabbit, then that's fine by me, and this-"

He was cut short by the dormouse, who glared slightly at the rabbit. "I can introduce myself" The rabbit nodded, and dormouse resumed speaking "My name is Mallymkun, but most of my friends call me Mally - it's shorter and easier to say. One only knows-"

Nodding slowly, Iroh stood up from the bright, lively, green grass.

"Not to be rude, but I must know…where am I?" Iroh said, interrupting the dormouse as she began to fall into a slight ramble.

"Oh right" Mally said, "This is Underland, or as our Champion used to call it, Wonderland."

Iroh hummed to himself in thought. "How do you suppose I came to be here?" he asked.

"We were hoping you would know." responded Mally.

"Iroh, what do you last remember doing in your world?" the white rabbit, McTwisp, asked.

"Well I was searching in my garden for the rare leaves to use for my special tea when I noticed an odd hole near the tree that harbored such leaves. My curiosity took the better of me, and I decided to check it out. The next thing I knew I was falling down a deep, dark hole." explained Iroh, "And now here I am, talking with you guys."

The white rabbit cursed softly under his voice. "Curse that March Hare and his random need to make holes in different worlds"

"What?" asked Iroh.

"March Hare." explained Mally, "Is a close friend of mine and the Mad Hatter." She paused. "The hole you're talking about must have been the one he told us about yesterday when he brought us odd leaves and insisted the Mad Hatter use them in our tea."

At the mention of tea made with Iroh's special leaves, his stomach growled softly. He placed a hand on his stomach.

"You must be hungry." the white rabbit said.

Rubbing his round stomach, he laughed softly. "That's an understatement."

The rabbit glanced at the dormouse, a look in his red eyes. She nodded in response.

"Why don't you come with me?" suggested Mally. "I was just on my way to one of Mad Hatter's tea parties."

"I'd love to…but are you sure your friend won't mind an extra guest to feed?" he said, always thinking of others.

Mally smiled. "Nah. They love guests."

"Okay then…take me to this Mad Hatter you speak of."

Mally nodded, and ran off. She stopped, and turned to see Iroh standing there. "You coming?"

"Right." Iroh said, running to catch up with the surprisingly fast dormouse.
