Hello and welcome, to my second ever posted story!

I think this is my first story where I haven't really based any characters on real people (mainly myself). I'm improving! At least, I hope I am...

This story is a lot more ridiculous that what I normally write, but I'm writing it to try and fight off my depression, so I think if this was more sarcastic and realistic (like how my stories usually are), it wouldn't help me very much.

Oh yeah, and, this will only include the characters from Heart no Kuni no Alice, since I only read the manga. Also, there probably won't be any strong or permanent pairings, but that doesn't mean it won't have any romance. There is still the whole 'everyone loves outsiders' thing.

Hope you like it! Enjoy!

It all started on an ordinary summer day. Everything was as it should be – it was a lazy, hot, peaceful afternoon. Lydia and Marie were spending their time outdoors, enjoying the nice weather.

"What the…? Hey Marie," Lydia called to her friend who was on the side deck around the corner.

"What?"

"Since when did we have this giant gaping hole in our backyard?" There was silence. Then…

"What the fuck are you on?"

"I'm serious," Lydia whined. "Come over here and see for yourself."

Marie went to go find her friend. When she got to the backyard, she saw that there was, indeed, a giant gaping hole.

"…the fuck?"

The two girls just stared into the deep blackness of their new lawn decoration.

"So," Marie started, "how do you suppose this happened?"

"Right now I'm thinking giant evil bunny, someone with a really bad treasure map and just doesn't know when to give up, or construction workers that are definitely going to get a lawsuit."

"Haha, yeah…" There was an awkward silence.

"Wanna throw stuff down there and see what happens?" Marie raised an eyebrow at this suggestion.

"Oh, hells yeah!"

"Yays!" Lydia exclaimed.

"There are a few things I've been meaning to get rid of," Marie told Lydia as they were walking back to the house.

A while later in Wonderland…

Julius Monrey, for the life of him, just could not explain why several worn-out plush toys started raining from the sky.

Back in the Real World…

"Well, as fulfilling as that was, I'm bored with this," Marie stated. "Oh, I know what we should do!"

"What?"

"Let's go bother Rose!"

Rose, their other friend and housemate, was an insanely intelligent engineer. She hardly ever left her workroom in the basement because she was always working on some crazy invention. She hated being pulled away from her work, and became greatly annoyed with her friends' repeated attempts to do so.

"Eh, I dunno," Lydia yawned, "I don't really feel up to it."

"Aw, fine then. I'll go annoy her myself."

With that, Marie turned to go in the house, leaving Lydia lying in the grass and staring into space. She went downstairs and approached the door to the workroom. She tried turning the doorknob, but it was locked.

"Rose," she whined loudly.

"What? I'm working now, so if it's not an emergency, go away," Rose said irritably through the door.

"Fine, never mind," Marie grumbled. She left to go back outside.

Lydia, meanwhile, was still staring into space. In fact, she was so lost in her own little world that she didn't even notice when a rabbit wearing a waistcoat and glasses came out of the hole. The rabbit approached her.

"Hey!" He called to her, as it was apparently a talking rabbit. Still, Lydia took no notice.

"You're supposed to follow me," he explained in a frustrated tone. No response.

"Alright then. I guess I'll just have to do this the hard way."

When the rabbit suddenly turned into a man, who then picked her up and hoisted her over his shoulder, Lydia finally snapped back to reality.

"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing? Who are you? Put me down!" She demanded frantically once she realized she was being kidnapped by a strange man with rabbit ears.

"I will in a bit," he said as he was walking towards the hole.

"Are you one of those construction workers? Because I was just kidding about the lawsuit, I promise! You don't have to throw me down a hole!" Lydia struggled as she yelled this.

"Stop shouting in my ear," said the man, "and if there's a hole, one must jump into it."

"But that doesn't make any seeeeeeeeeeeeense!" She screamed out the last word as her kidnapper actually did jump into the hole. The last thing she saw before falling into the darkness was Marie rushing towards her, looking furious and shouting something she couldn't hear.

Thank you for reading! So, what did you think?

Please review! Constructive criticism is welcome, but no flames please.

I'll post the next chapter soon, I already have most of it written.

See you next time!
