Dum smiled to her."but i like you the way you are"

Dee stared at Dum, his mouth falling open.

Bell smiled."oh",she then smiled brightly at him."I'm Bell its nice to meet you"

Clara blushed lightly "I won't change then."

"Are you enjoying wonderland?" Nightmare asked with a smile.

Bell smiled."so far i am!",she said happily."so is it normal for you to be in peoples dreams?",Bell asked going over to him.

Dum smiled."good"

"I come and go as I like or you can call me here." Nightmare said "You called me this time I heard you wanted to ask questions."

Bell blinked."oh uh, yes",she said looking down."Mr. Blood...is busy and i rather not bother him morte then i already have",she said looking sad.

"Well what do you want to ask?" Nightmare inquired.

Clara smiled when her hot cocoa was brought with everyone else's orders.

Dee smiled."good"

Dum grinned."it does look good"


Bell looked to him."what is wonderland?why does it change?what are the rules..."

"Sorry my dear but somethings are for you to figure out but I'll explain what I can. "There are normally four realms in wonderland each has a leader like Blood and they fight for land. Once a year the kingdoms of Heart and the Hatter mansion move to the land of clover were we are now. We have a meeting and no fighting between the leaders is allowed." Nightmare explained.

Clara and Athena dug into the muffin each taking half. "Mhh! It's good." Clara said crumbs all over her mouth.

Bell blinked."oh , well that explains some things....how do other people end up here?",she asked feeling curious.

Dum smiled softly at her.'here let me try",she said taking his hand and gently wiped some crumbs off and tasted them."your right"

"The twins feel threw the hole and Alice Liddell was forced here by Peter White." Nightmare said "You are a strange case."

Clara blushed biting into her muffin to embarrassed to say anything.

Athena glared at him a warning to watch himself but didn't say anything.

Bell siled softly."yeah i have no memoy where i originally came from, i just woke up here a few days ago"

Nightmare studied her "I'll have to find out more." he had then floated towards her "Anything else you want to know?"

Bell smiled at him and shook her head."nope,thank you though",she said hppily at him.

"Very well I'll see you soon then." Nightmare vanished

Athena sighed bored now "Can we go back now?" she asked irritated they mus have walked around the town three times.

Dee looked to her then to Dum and Clara."well?"

Dum sighed looking to Clara."we should head back"

Bell yawned as she woke up rubbing her eyes."hat was nice",she said softly.

"Hey." Elliot smiled at her

"Ok." Clara smiled at Dum "We'll leave them behind next time."

Dum grinned,"sounds good to me:"

Bell smiled at Eliot."hello"

"Boss said to tell you that the next time period will be the meeting if you want to tag along." Elliot said with a smile.

Clara looked at her sister "You should find someone you like too."

"The only person I like is you." Athena said crossing her arms over her chest.

Dee frowned."thats a shame"

Bell blinked."what meeting?"

"I had assumed Nightmare would have told you." Elliot frowned.

"Why?" Athena said "I love my sister more then anything." she sighed "I just want to get her home." she watched her sister talking to Dum.

Bell blinked."oh , so it wasnt a wierd dream I had...i did meet someone named nightmarre and he did say something about a meeting",she then smiled."i'ed love to go"

Dee smiled."its great that you love your sister,but....there may be someone out there for you....",he said looking to his brother."ive NEVER seen him like this with someone ...."

"Great boss picked out a dress for you and everything." Elliot smiled not commenting about Nightmare who she would meet soon enough.

"Clara is the only person I need besides that stuff can wait till we get back home." Athena said "I hope she doesn't get to attached to him."

Bell blinked and had a slight blush."h-he did?",she said getting up.

"and if she does and if she wanted to stay?",Dee asked looking sad.

"I don't know I would stay for her of course but beyond that." Athena pulled out her vial she kept both of them on her at all times. There was only a little bit left to go they would have to choose soon.

"Yeah." Elliot shrugged "You're going with us so he wanted you to look nice. Don't worry though it's not till the next time change."

Bell smiled happily."well i will have to go thank him",she said happily.

Dee looked t the vial."its hard to believe you two have been here that long"
