Snippet #2438030

Alice listened to Peter as he recounted the tale of his saving Wendy from an evil pirate. It wasn't the first Alice had heard of him-- Hook was someone who came up regularly in Wendy's stories. She wondered why he was such a driving force in Neverland- in Wonderland if something mean or scary came up it was dealt with. Quickly- no matter what. Normally, she was the one that dealt with it, too. Though, Neverland seemed to be a bit different than her Wonderland. It seemed like a place of eternal fun and happiness, and childish charm. Wonderland... Wonderland had unlimited, if a bit off-the-rocker- potential. Bad things could happen there, sure, but it turned out okay in the end. It always did.

"Do ye ha'e fearies in Wonderland? Or pixies, sometimes 'here called pixies" Peter smiled brightly at Alice as he said the words. Alice blinked a few times when she heard the word 'Wonderland' to bring herself out of her reminiscing. She had never seen fae in Wonderland, but that didn't mean there weren't any. There were plenty of places she had never explored and she had seen many things that defied logical explanation there.

"No, I don't believe I have. But I do think they would fit right in if they did reside there. In Wonderland, there are these amazing things called rocking-horse flies that would be just perfect size for a fae to use as a mount. Though, there are also bread-and-butterflies that are just so pretty to look at... though I don't think it would be difficult for the fae to get caught in the butter and then- oh how horrid! Can you imagine getting stuck to a bread-and-butterfly? And the flowers would be so mean to them! They would be just the right size for the flowers to torment. And it would be such torment for them to get around with all the Snap-dragonflies. They breath fire, you know," She rambled as she thought the question over. No, she didn't think Wonderland would be a right and proper place for pixies.

"But, none of that now. Maybe you will be able to see them one day! But we have to figure out a way to get you back to Neverland! I'm sure we can figure out something," she said as she stood and walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a little book from the back of 'her' cupboard. It was were she stored her juice and cakes, as well as all the other recipes the White Queen had taught her but she never could find a use for. Really, what use would a potion that would stop a jubjub bird be to her now?

She skipped back to her table and set the book down before opening it up. "I don't really know what's in here- some of the potions are incomplete and I could only remember some of the ingredients, and some of them I remember the recipe but not what it was for, and for quite a few you would be hard pressed to ever find the things needed... and most of them are potions of protection, or wisdom. Only the things the White Queen told me when I was training to slay the Jabberwokey- most are things like the ability to sharpen a knife if you pour the potion over it, but that one requires gryphon blood and the only gryphon I've met lives in Wonderland..... there might not even be anything in there that could help. There probably isn't- but give it a try, at least...." she slid the book to Wendy as she said this. She would be better at identifying what would help and what would be frivolous to even try. And if that didn't work, she could always find someone to help. Wendy had to know someone, and Alice knew a few people who might be able to help.
