The Tea Party
They were spilling tea, not from their cups, but from their mouths, of course. The pair grabs their pastries and the imaginary filled teacups and begins to wind down.
The pocket watch slows, then stops. The clock ends its last tick within the same second. Fabrics lay in disarray as the girls began to talk. Talk talk. Like a ticking clock.
Winding down, down, down…spinning…the feeling of falling. Down the girls go, into their next adventure in Wonderland.
"I never was so small as this before, never!"
Oh, the poor girls. The tea was filled with herbs. Herbs from that sneaky cat, that eerie forest, Tulgey Wood, and even the Queen of Hearts herself! So small they have become. They were never so small…
A Shared Dream
The paused time begins to turn again from clockwise to counterclockwise. Time seems to catch up to them. Back in the field, with the birds chirping and flowers humming. Like a dream, they wake up in a place much like Wonderland. Normal-sized and all.
