| Alex: | Mm... The professor already left? | |
| White Rabbit: | Oh dear, I'm running late! I must hurry. | |
| Alex: | Dressing up? I think you have the wrong place. This is a school, not an amusement park. | |
| White Rabbit: | Aren't you the one dressing up as a university student? You certainly don't look like one to me! In any case, you're in my way! You're sitting in the middle of the road. | |
 |
||
| Alex: | There aren't any roads over huge roots like these. Cut it out with the false statements! | |
| White Rabbit: | Seriously, I'll do anything. Just get those long legs of yours out of the way! I'm really going to be late at this rate! | |
| After falling through a hole, Alex finds himself to be in a very strange place. | ||
| Alex: | Logically, none of this can be real. Therefore, this must all be a dream! | |
| White Rabbit: | Hey, you! Are you really just going to sit around like that? Sheesh, I'm really in for it now. I have to hurry. I'm leaving before you become even more burdensome. Ah, I'm late, I'm late! | |
 |
||
| Alice parts from the White Rabbit. The Cheshire Cat soon emerges, approaching Alex as the boy waits to awaken from his dream. | ||
| Cheshire Cat: | Hey, that's my favorite nap spot. | |
| Alex: | Catboys after rabbit boys, is it? This dream is making my head hurt... | |
| Cheshire Cat: | You're much more imaginary than I could ever be. If you really want to wake up, You should go to the Hatter's tea party! You’ll definitely wake up if you attend! | |
| As instructed by the Cheshire Cat, Alex makes his way to the Mad Hatter's tea party. However, the forest seems to only spread out before him. unwilling to allow Alex to reach his destination. Finally, Alex comes across the tea party, where the Mad Hatter looks almost identical to his professor. | ||
| Alex: | Professor?! What are you doing here?! | |
| Mad Hatter: |
Professor? I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. | |
| Alex: | Whatever. I just want to use your tea to wake up. | |
| Mad Hatter: | Did any of you know about this? Apparently my tea can wake people up. Never heard that one before. Right, everyone? | |
| Alex: | I've been the only one here for some time. Who are you even talking to? | |
| Mad Hatter: | Nobody's here? Is that so? I'm pretty sure I invited the March Hare and the others... | |
| Alex: | If you've got eyes, it's pretty obvious. Look around. It's just you and me. | |
| Alex: | Hm... if you've got eyes, you say. Here's a thought. What if not everything you see is real? | |
| Alex: | Ah, my head is hurting again! | |
 |
||
| Mad Hatter: | I've got it! You should go see the King of Hearts. You'll definitely awaken if you do that. | |
| The Mad Hatter instructs Alex to seek out the King of Hearts if he is to wake. Alex heads to the castle. | ||
| King of Hearts: | Who planted white roses here?! Off with their head! | |
| Card: | Eeeeeee!! | |
| Alex: | Are you the King of Hearts? | |
| King of Hearts: | Indeed I am. | |
| Alex: | My name is Alex. I actually need to ask you something-- | |
| King of Hearts: | I see... Alex, you say? I challenge you to a game of croquet! | |
| Alex: | But why? My head is hurting again... | |
 |
||
| Upon arriving at the castle, Alex greets the King of Hearts and is compelled to participate in a game of croquet with the king. However, this is no ordinary game of croquet, but rather crueler. The king's version is played with a flamingo for a mallet and a curled-up hedgehog for a ball! | ||
| King of Hearts: | Not bad, I suppose! | |
| Ace: | Excellent play, your Majesty! Truly magnificent! | |
| King of Hearts: | You're up next, Alex. | |
| Alex: | So I have to use this flamingo to hit a hedgehog…? I could never play such a barbaric game. | |
| King of Hearts: | So you refuse to play croquet with me? Then off with your head! | |
| Alex: | What? | |
| King of Hearts: | Off with his head! | |
| Alex: | I don’t understand, I just- | |
| King of Hearts: | Off with his head! | |
| Ace: | It’s the king’s orders! Now, catch him! | |
| Alex: | Why me?! | |
| Cards: | Orders from the King! Seize him! | |
| Alex: | Why me? I don't want to die! This isn't any fair! | |
| Unexpetedly, the professor is waiting when Alex finally wakes up under the large tree. The sun is beginning to set. | ||
| Professor: | Morning, Alex. How are you feeling? | |
 |
||
| Alex: | Terrible. Like I wasted a ton of time. | |
| Professor: | That is precisely the answer! I've been watching you. What was invisible to you was the treasure of time. Your moratorium only lasts for now. You should enjoy it while you can. | |
| Alex: | I’ll take that into consideration. | |
| Professor: | Oh? You’re being quite agreeable today. | |
| Alex: | Let's just say I'm sick and tired of tea. | |
