Peter reaches the bottom and looks around.
Peter: Hello?
Trinity: I'm here.
Peter: Ed brought a ladder, so you can cimb back up. I'm going to find Alice. Where did she disappear?
Trinity: Somewhere over there.
Peter searches around in the dark before the others hear a yell and Trinity shouts back that he's been swallowed up to!
 
Eric still a bit in shock after all what happened tries to do his best to get the words of Aslan out of his head

Rabbit: What's going on with the two of you?
Me: We were a bit overexcited I guess
Eric: Yeah.......I hope Nessa won't stay mad at me
Me: I'm not even mad at you at all
Rabbit: We better return now or are you two going on another adventure?
Me *giggles*: No...I don't want to meet other creatures or unexpected surprises
Eric *starts to laugh as well*: Neither do I
Pippin: And then they say me and Merry are always causing trouble......
Rabbit: Okay...you have a long walk back now but listen.....stay on this path!
Me: Don't worry.....we will pretend like it's the marathon
Rabbit: We are going back because the others need help and unfortunately the Gryphon can't carry you so me and Pippin will return

The Gryphon flies away and Nessa and Eric start their long way back by foot

Rabbit: We must find the others. Something is happening over there
 
Peter finds himself sitting on the ground in a field of flowers.
Peter: *rubs the back of his head* What on earth?
Me: *looks bewildered* How did you get here?
Peter: The same way that you did, aparently.
Me: How do we get out?
Peter: It looks like we already are out.
Me: Unless if this whole thing is some sort of illusion.
Peter: Don't say that!
Me: *looks hurt*
Peter: *looks frustrated* Look, I'm really sorry, but -
Me: Just don't say anything; I'm not hurt, really. *looks like she's going to cry*
 
Nessa and Eric walk for hours so it seems and then it was getting dark.

Eric: We must hurry up before it's dark
Me: We are not that far away anymore
Eric: You are right ...I can see the trees again. Give me your hand so we won't get seperated in the dark

Eric holds Nessa's hand tightly.

Eric: We still must be careful. Maybe there are wolfs or something
Me: I don't think so
Eric: I'm not so sure after all we've been through
Me: No....we are almost there.

Rabbit: There you are! I was already on the look out for you
Eric: We made it
Me: Finally
 
Peter: Look Alice, this time, I really am sorry.
Me: *brushes tears away* How do I know?
Peter: *looks even more frustrated* Let's get out of here.
 
A Chinese-looking man, whom Peter and Alice have never seen, meets them in the open meadowland. When he speaks, English words are audible, but the sound of them never matches the movements of his mouth.

"Peace to you! You must be among those whom the man Eric and the woman Vanessa were seeking. This land is more complicated to travel in than I was prepared for: very difficult feng-shui. My name is Ah-To: no joke intended upon the German name Otto. I'm trying to reach the Monologues thread, to show the 13-year-old girls there that they still have much to learn of self-defense; but I'm obviously not there yet. How is fortune treating you young people?"
 
Nessa and Eric both are very tired. They both are going to si down in a cozy chair and immidiatly fall asleep.

Hatter: They are very tired
Rabbit: Yes they are and so am I
Pippin: But what are we going to do next?
Hatter: I have a feeling those two won't wake up anytime soon
Rabbit: The others are even more safe than we know. They will get help
Pippin: Are we going to search for them now?
Hatter: It's getting dark and you don't want to go out when it get's dark because you won't see anything at all
Rabbit: Let them sleep here while we are going to sleep as well

The Rabbit goes inside together with the Hatter and Merry and Pippin. Both Eric and Nessa are in a very deep sleep.
 
* As a way of catching others up in time with Nessa and her idol:


Peter, Alice and Ah-To spent hours trying to find some place which Alice (as the only "native") would recognize. The sun marched on, and they were getting nowhere. At last Alice exclaimed, "Oh! Peter! I should have figured this out sooner! Now I realize why we're not getting anywhere! This is the borderland of the Chess Kingdoms--where it takes all the running you can do just to stay in the same place!"

It was Ah-To who hit on a solution: that if running didn't make positive progress, leaping might. As a kung-fu movie hero, he could make prodigious leaps--and unlike the Matrix characters, his ability did NOT depend on being inside a virtual reality program. So Ah-To began a laborious process, but one that made progress for them. He took hold of Alice...leaped as far forward as he could carrying her...leaped back to Peter...moved Peter forward to where Alice was...moved Alice forward again...and so on.

Around the time Nessa and Eric were sleeping, Ah-To had brought Peter and Alice to a point out of the motion-distorting zone, and within sight of "Hearts" territory. The Chinese man was MORE exhausted than the hockey player and his fan.
 
* Hannah was still with Edmund with a confuse look on her face*

Me: Were are we and how long well it take to get to Nessa?
 
Me: Well, that WAS interesting. Now, where on earth are we?
Peter: I have no earthly idea.
Me: Very funny.
Peter: Alice, that wasn't meant as a joke.
Me: Whatever you say.
Peter: Please, can we just not fight anymore?
Me: Sure, if you can stop saying things that aren't particularly nice.
Peter: Look, I said I was sorry, didn't I?
Me: And you've been saying that all day. Then, you turn right around and do something else!
 
Trinity climbs back up the rope ladder.
Trinity: Come on, we need to go find Nessa and Eric.
Edmund: I'm all for that. Come on Hannah.
Somehow, they manage to get out before the room tilts itself again, and the shadow that Had bothered Susan, Peter, and ALice so much was gone.
Susan: I'm coming with you guys. This place is giving me the creeps.
 
Nessa and Eric still are in a very deep sleep. Both have no clue Pippin is watching over them because he doesn't feel sleepy. Merry watches Edmund and Hannah and walks over to them.

Edmund: What happened to the others? The hockeyplayer and his friend?
Merry: They both are back alive and well. They are sleeping right now. I can understand after a long walk
Edmund: But where is Peter?
Merry: That's what we still don't know yet. Where is Peter and where are the others? Trinity is with them but I have no clue if they are far away. You better get some sleep now because it's in the middle of the night
Edmund: I noticed.
Merry: I'm going to sleep as well

Pippin gets another chair and places it next to Nessa so he can sleep. The Rabbit and the Hatter are already in a very deep sleep. And so it's getting quiet while the others are far from being sleepy after what they are going through.

Pippin: Merry...are you awake?
Merry *sleepy*: What's up Pip?
Pippin: Nessa is snoring
Merry: So do you
Pip: Eric snors too
Merry: They are tired
Pip: I can't sleep
Merry: Just try
Pip: I'm afraid Merry
Merry: Of what?
Pip: Will we meet the others again?
Merry: Of course!
Pip: I think Eric is going to take Nessa on another adventure
Merry: We all are going on an adventure Pip
Pip: That's true
Merry: Pippin please! Go and have some sleep!
Pip: I wonder what those two are dreaming about
Merry: Probably about hockey. He dreams he is playing a game and she dreams she is watching a game
Pip: Really?
Merry: No...he dreams she is the stick and you are the puck and now quiet!

Pippin turns on his side and finally falls asleep
 
* Hannah went to the side pulling Edmund with her*

me: I can't sleep do you know how to sing?

* Then there was a loud sound came out of nowhere*

Me: What was that did you hear that? It's sounds close!

* Then there was a blue dragon with someone on it came next to were they where*
 
Peter: *sighs and looks very frustrated*
Me: *turns away* Come on, let's see if we can find a way back.

Peter and Alice walk on for some time without speaking to each other, Peter because he doesn't want to say something to upset Alice again, and Alice because she is still rather mad at him. Finally, they stop and take a break.
Peter: Do you see anything that looks familiar?
Me: Not yet. But I have a feeling that we're getting closer.
Peter: To what?
Me: *opens mouth to answer, but he cuts me off*
Peter: I know, it was a stupid question, I'm sorry.
 
In the middle of the night Nessa wakes up because she hears a scream. She sits straight up and looks around. She sees Eric asleep and next to her on another chair Pippin. The small hobbit lays on his side and his feet are hanging in the air. Nessa gets up and walks towards Pippin. She grabs a blanket which is lying on the ground and she gently covers Pippin with it. Then Nessa pulls Pip's feet back up and put them under the blanket.

Me *whisper* : There you go my dear little friend.

Then Nessa gives Pippin a kiss on his head and turns around. Eric seems to be in a deep sleep. Nessa walks up to him and listens.

Me: He is snoring.....

Then Nessa walks away because she is certain she heard a scream coming far away. She walks into the nearby stable. All horses are quiet. Nessa leaves the stable and walks further. It's very dark and Nessa has no torch. Then she hears the scream again. A very loud scream. Her heart is going faster almost up to fullspeed. Suddenly she feels a hand on her shoulder and she screams. Someone immidiatly puts a hand over her mouth. Nessa turns around.

Me: Eric! I should have known it was you!
Eric: Don't scream so loud! You wake everybody up
Me: You silly! I scared myself to death!
Eric: I saw you leaving and was curious what you were doing
Me: Did I ask you to follow me?
Eric: Nope but I know you like it
Me: Do you have a torch?

Eric grabs a torch and laughs when he handles the torch

Eric: You blush!
Me: How do you know? It's dark but we have no time for this. I heard a scream
Eric: That was me watching you walking away without me
Me: For goodnes sake Eric please!
Eric *laughs*: Okay...wherever you go...I'll follow you
Me: I have no clue where the scream came from but it was loud
Eric: Are you sure it wasn't Pippin snoring?
Me: No...Pip is not snoring so loud and besides....you snors even louder
Eric *laughs loud*: What's wrong with that?
Me: Come on!
 
* Hannah walks a little closer to the Dragon*

Me: It have someone on it I think it's safe what do you think?

* The Dragon looks at her with a smile*

Eargon: Hi I'm Eargon and this is my Dragon

*Hannah Held on Edmund arm tight*

Me: What wait no way!
 
Me: *sigh* Look Peter, I -
Cat: *appears* Are you two having some trouble here?
Me: *jumps in surprise* You know, I wish you wouldn't do that.
Cat: I'm sorry. That's what I do.
Peter: Could you help us find our way back?
Cat: That depends on where you want to go.
Me: We're trying to find Nessa, Eric, Hannah, and Edmund. Do you know where they are?
Cat: Yes, I do.
Peter: Could you tell us?
Cat: perhaps you'd better follow me.
