Alias and Alice found themselves following the trail of the White Rabbit into a forest. They eventually lost track of him and took a break in a clearing to see if they could figure out where he had gone.

[color=b4f2ff]"Oh. Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit!"[/color] Alice cried out. [color=b4f2ff]"I could've sworn he went this way. Do you suppose he could be hiding?"[/color]

Unbeknownst to them two mysterious figures were hiding behind them. [color=#e97451]"I doubt it."[/color] Alias replied. [color=#e97451]"What would he be hiding from?"[/color]

[color=b4f2ff]"Me, of course."[/color] Alice replied spritely.

[color=#e97451]"Why are you chasing him anyway?"[/color] Alias asked.

"It's not polite to chase people!" Two colorful and stoutly men yelled out as they jumped from behind the bushes. "Even little white rabbits too!"

Alice was startled and jumped behind Alias. [color=b4f2ff]"Wait. You saw Mr. Rabbit? And I'm not 'chasing' him, chasing him. I'm trying to find out where he's going in such a hurry."[/color]

"This reminds me of a story." The one with a collar labeled 'Tweedle Dee' said.

"Ooh. I love stories. But we can't tell a story without introducing ourselves." The one with a collar labeled 'Tweedle Dum' said.

"Ooh. You're right, my brother. You see, we're the Tweedles. I'm Dee."

"And I'm Dum."

[color=#e97451]"Your name is Dumb?"[/color] Alias asked. [color=#e97451]"Your parents must've hated you."[/color]

"Our parents are very lovely and love me. It's Dum, you dumb dumb."

"Dum, you can't be calling people dumb. Even if they are dumb." Dee said trying to calm his brother, but he didn't appreciate Alias' words either.

Suddenly a dark and yellow-eyed raven perched atop a tree in the clearing. He squawked out before speaking. [color=yellow]"A couple of dumb dumbs. Won't even fight for your family's honor."[/color] Interesting. He seemed to be able to speak in this land of wonder. Perhaps he and his Mistress could overthrow this world's incompetent Queen and rule here. Dark magic flowed with his words entering the ears of the Tweedles to corrupt them with darkness and anger.

The Tweedles were surrounded by dark shadows, the shadows were then absorbed into their bodies to corrupt their hearts. "Um... Alias?" Alice asked nervously.

[color=#e97451]"Don't worry. I'll protect you. Run, find the rabbit. I'll catch up with you."[/color] Alias said, conjuring his keyblade and getting in a defensive position.

There was that mysterious blade again. Whenever Alice looked at it whatever fear threatened to consume her melted away. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. [color=b4f2ff]"Good luck, my knight. Thank you."[/color] She said before running off into the forest.

Alias was startled by the kiss and almost missed one of the Tweedles rolling towards him like a bowling ball. He swung his keyblade to send him back, but didn't have enough time and space for a proper follow through. He barely pushed the rolling Tweedle back. "Wait! I'm sorry!" But he wasn't hearing it. He rolled backwards to boost his momentum before rolling towards Alias again.

This time Alias was prepared. He calculated how fast he was moving. This reminded him of his time back on Destiny Islands. He missed home so much. You see, not everyone on the island fought with wooden swords or any other practical weapon. There were a few loose cannons with arms matching their descriptions. They threw super fast volleyballs at their opponents. One good hit from one would have you seeing Paopu Fruit. He leapt into the air as the giant Tweedle Ball approached. Once the Tweedle was under him he slammed down on it with his keyblade using his force and momentum to counter his, bringing them to a stop. The two fell to the floor with Alias on top of him. He looked at his collar to read, 'Tweedle Dee'. The shadows released their control over Dee, leaving Alias grateful for that. He didn't want to have to really hurt him. [color=#e97451]"I'm sorry about what I said. Your parents love you and your brother. Where is he?"[/color] Dee was conscious, but was still a bit too dizzy to answer.

Alice was seeing light once again. She was about to exit the forest and was seeing a nice two story house. Could that be Mr. Rabbit's? Before her question could be answered she heard the sound of twigs being broken behind her. She turned around to see one of the Tweedles charging straight towards her. She's heard of raining men, but she didn't think there were rolling ones too. She wished Alias were here. He'd be able to protect her.

No. Since when did she wait to be protected? This world was even changing her. Dinah would be so disappointed in her. She faced the rolling Tweedle confidently and extended her right arm and put up her palm. [color=b4f2ff]"You stop right there!"[/color] Suddenly a bright light appeared emanating from her chest. She didn't have time to think about what it was. It was from her. It was going to protect her. A shield of light projected from her hand.

Tweedle Dum crashed right into the shield, but instead of being hurt by it, he was simply stopped. The darkness that corrupted him was purged from his heart and body, but that wasn't enough. Alice's light fully eradicated the darkness. She extended her arm out to the Tweedle. [color=b4f2ff]"Are you okay, Mr. Dum?"[/color] She asked reading his name on his collar.
