Me: Oh, look! How long hav they been fighting like that?
Cat: For as long as I can remember, Miss. Neither will ever win or get the crown, though.
Me: Then why are they doing it?
Peter: Because they haven't any sense, that's why.
Me: Oh.
Susan: By the way, Peter, do you know where Edmund is?
Peter: He was - oh dear!
Me: What is it?

Edmund ran out of the castle into the garden followed by the cook who was chasing him around with a wooden spoon.

Cook: Come back here, you young rascal!
Edmund: Leave me alone! I didn't do anything! *tries to look innocent*
Cook: You ate all of the cookies right under my nose! Now come back here!
Edmund: *runs and hides behind Peter* Don't let her find me!
Me: You'd probably deserve to be found.
Edmund: *makes a face at me*
Cook: Which way did he go?
Peter: He went back inside.

The cook turned around and went back inside the castle angrily.

Peter: You really need to stop doing things like that, Ed.
Edmund: Sorry.
Me: *giggles*
Susan: *tries to control laughter*
 
When the Cook returns to the kitchen, she is met by the Walrus and the Carpenter. "We were shopping in a disused RP thread," says the Carpenter, "and besides the smoked oysters we wanted for ourselves, we picked up these for you"--whereupon the Walrus places on the counter a large box of assorted high-quality cookies, including shortbread cookies.
 
Edmund walks into the kitchen.
Edmund: Ohhhhh! More cookies!
Cook: get out! *chases him away with spoon* Thank you very much. I could really use these. Would youmind keeping an eye on that rascal?
Lucy pokes her head in.
Lucy: Excuse me?
Cook: Yes?
Lucy: The March Hare sent me to ask for some more tea. If it's not to much trouble.
Cook: *smiles* Of course I will, dear.
 
The Walrus takes up a position with his chin atop the sturdy cookie box, his long tusks running down the far side of the box like pillars; this, in case the Pevensies might be planning this tea business as a trick to steal the latest cookies. (Narnian royalty being MUCH LESS respected here in Wonderland than playing-card royalty.)
 
Cook: Thank you very much. I will whip that boy if he comes in here again!
Lucy: *skips back upstairs to where she is having tea with the March Hare and the Mad Hatter*
Hare: What did she say?
Lucy: She said that she would get us some more tea!
Hatter: Well, that went better than when I asked her!
Lucy: Yes it did... Stop pouring the cream all over the table!
Hatter: *hides contaner of cream behind his back* What cream?
Lucy: *sigh*

Back outside, the Queen is stocking around, looking for someone who isn't following the rules.

Queen: Ugh! Everyone's behaving them selves! You!
Me: *looks up* Me?
Queen: Yes, you!
Me: What is it, your majesty?
Queen: Do you play croquet?
Me: *gulp* Ummmm......
Peter: No, she doesn't, Your Majesty.
Queen: I wasn't talking to you!
 
One hedgehog whispers to another: "No, she sure WASN'T talking to King Peter; she won't admit it, but she knows that she can get in trouble mouthing off to warriors who aren't afraid of her!"
 
Queen: I repeat my question! Do you play croquet?
Me: *looks nervous*
Peter: And I repeat, she does not!
Me: *aside* Peter, don't make things any worse! This could be a life and death situation!
Peter: Well, I'm not going to let her hurt you!
Queen: *gets mad and storms off*
Susan: I hope that's over!
 
The Unicorn having been checked medically by Lady Inkling, he and the Lion commence another boxing match.
 
Me: Oh great, not again!
Cat: *appears* They'll be at it forever, you know.
Susan: I really wish you wouldn't appear like that. It's creeping me out!
Cat: Sorry.
Susan: It's okay. Just don't do it anymore, please.
Edmund: *is rubing his hand* She whacked me pretty good!
Me: Who did?
Edmund: That cook!
Peter: served you right!
 
The Queen of Hearts feels better when the Red and White Chess Queens come by and offer to play croquet with her...although the Chess Queens pointedly bring along some well-armed Knight and Rook bodyguards, including "the" White Knight, as a deterrent to the Queen of Hearts trying to have them beheaded if she loses.
 
Meanwhile..... Lucy is upstairs having tea with the Mad Hatter and March Hare. It was going wonderfully until....
Cat: *appears* Hello.
Hatter: Ahhhh! What is that?! *drops teacup*
Lucy: It's only a cat. Would you care to have tea with us?
Cat: Thank you, Your Majesty, but I must decline the offer. I only came to inform you that the High King just saved Alice from having to play croquet with the Queen and possibly getting her head chopped off.
Lucy: Oh, that's wonderful!
Hare: *stares, and burns himself on the teapot* Ouch! *hops around madly, knocking things over*
Hatter: *going into hysterics*
Lucy: Stop it both of you!
Cat: maybe i'd better go. *disappears*
Hatter: It just diappeared! Ahhhhhh!
 
Nessa, Lindros, Pippin and the white Rabbit are greeting a new guest who just entered the gardens of the Queen of Hearts. It's darth vader.

Me: Hello Darth Vader, what brings you here?
Darth: Nothing to be honest. I just heard a party was going on here.
Lindros: Hey, you aren't real, are you??
Darth:I am not, do you?
Lindros: Ehm....
Pippin: But don't use the force on us over here or Copperfox will have to talk to Jake again.
Darth: Don't worry little man. My powers don't work here.
Pippin: I'm not a little man! I'm a hobbit
Darth: Well, you can't say you are extremely tall
Pippin: But you are tall
Darth: I am but so is he and he's even taller

Darth points at Lindros.

Alice passes everybody while running.

Me: What are you doing Alice?
Peter: She is going crazy I believe. Everybody has.
Pippin: Even more crazier than I am?
White Rabbit: We need some adventure...anybody some tea?
 
OOC: Thank you, Copperfox, for covering during my absence :D. Perfectly done.

Lady Inkling, after saving the king from dying of anaphylactic shock (through the use of an epi-pen she happened to have with her and the administration of oxygen) and patching up the unicorn, joins the tea party. She ensures that the brew is steeped 3-5 minutes, by time, never by color, and then whips up a batch of her homemade scones, being careful to avoid the queen as she sneaks through the kitchen for ingredients.

This accomplished, she decides to begin looking for Copperfox so they can continue their rehearsal. Unfortunately, she's forgotten the score for "I Dreamed a Dream", and has to search for it. It is at this point that she runs into the queen again...

"OFF WITH HER HEAD!"
 
*looks huffy* I am not going crazy, Peter!
Peter: Well, then, what are you doing?
Me: Hiding from the Queen! You'd better come too.
Peter: Is she bothering you again?
Me: Well, she's out looking for me, if that's what you mean.
Peter: *rolls his eyes* She'll never learn...
Me: *grabs his arm* That's not the point! Now come on!
 
Lindros: The Queen?
Darth: The Queen?
Pippin: The Queen?
Me: The Queen?
Rabbit: Yes, the Queen!

Nessa and the others run off.

Me: Wait....Alice! We are coming too!

White rabbit grabs Nessa's arm.

Rabbit: Don't worry. Jake scared her
 
Me: *hides in a tree*
Peter: *climbs up too*
Me: Do you think she'll find us?
Peter: I don't know.
Cat: *appears* Hello.
Me: *gasp* Oh, it's only you.
Cat: Well, who else would it be?
Me: I don't know. Is the queen still looking for me?
Cat: No. Jake scared her off again.
Peter: good. Let's go. I've got to find Edmund.
 
Copperfox returns to the castle, bringing a small gift for Lady Inkling from himself and the gunslinger brothers: a Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistol, with two clips and a box holding 48 extra rounds of ammo. "Jake figured once you had this, you could safely send back his left-hand Colt," Copperfox explains. "This weapon holds twice as many bullets as a standard revolver, and fires faster than any use of a revolver other than fanning, which is less accurate. But don't forget to thumb the safety catch."

Taking Jake's gun in exchange to be returned soon, Copperfox places himself at the gorgeous blue-kirtled lady's disposal for singing practice.
 
Alice and Peter have climbed down from the tree and are searching around inside the castle for Edmund. They hear shouting coming from one of the rooms and so they peek inside.

Peter: Lucy?
Lucy: O hi, Peter.
Peter: What are you doing?
Lucy: well, we were having a tea party, but then that cat showed up and scared the Hatter and the Hare, hence the mess.
Me: we're looking for Edmund, would you like to help us?
Lucy: Sure!
Hatter: *is screaming hystericaly*
Hare: *is still hopping around knocking things over*
Lucy: Let's get out of here!

The three continue in their search for Edmund.
 
Hearing a sound of breathtakingly sweet duet singing, Peter, Lucy and Alice discover Lady Inkling and Copperfox practicing songs from "Les Miserables" together. The two singers report seeing no sign of Edmund since the last time he was chased out of the kitchen. The King, recently recovered from his medical emergency, gets up and joins the three younger people in searching for Edmund.
 
Rabbit: Do you like to eat something? Fish?
Lindros: Oh yes! I love fish! I even go out fishing myself
Pippin: Me too. I didn't have me fourth breakfast today so I need something extra
Rabbit: That's good. Wait....

The white rabbit goes off and returns with a fishing pole.

Rabbit: Here...take this. Over there is a boat and you can help yourself
Me: Hahahahahahahaha! That was funny!
Rabbit: You go with them
Me: Why?
Rabbit: Don't ask, just go

Nessa, Lindros and Pippin go off to the boat and the White Rabbit returns to the Hatter.

Rabbit: So....now we can talk again about our own things for a while. What was it again?
Hatter: I forgot. But I believe a choir is playing.

Nessa and Lindros and Pippin go out fishing.

Me: It doesn't look like the fish want to be eaten
Lindros: They will soon
Pippin: I usually jump into tyhe water and grab them
Me and Lindros at the same time: No! Pippin no!

Pippin jumps into the water and is swallowed by a whirlpool which remained unvisible till someone would fall in.

Me: OMG! What are we going to do now?
Lindros: Wait...I hear something...I believe he is calling us
Me: Of course! He cries for help but it won't be long until his voice is faded!
Lindros: Wait! I hear him!

Lindros bends over and listens closely.

Lindros: Wait Pip! I'm coming!
Me: No Eric! No!

Lindros jumps off the boat and into the whirlpool

Me: OH NO! That makes two!

Nessa bends over and screams.

Me: Eric! Pippin!

Suddenly Lindros' arm is coming out of the water and grabs Nessa and pulls her into the whirlpool.

Peter: OMG! What happened there? What happened over there?
Edmund: What do you mean?
Peter: All three of them are swallowed by something. Look! The boat is empty!
Edmund: Let me see!

Edmund runs into the water till he reaches the boat and....disappears.

Peter: ED!! ED!!!
