A: And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you're going to fall [All over]

Alice was rather sure she kept seeing him. Just there and when she would turn her head to look at him properly, he would dash from her view, rather rudely, she thought to herself. Before he had the decency to at least acknowledge her before he left.

But he was always just there at the corner of her eye. She wanted to see him properly, speak to him, she'd call out but he was gone.

So Alice did what Alice does best where the White Rabbit was concerned, she chased after him. She called out to him, finally, she could see him. His little white tail peeking out from one carriage to the next. Goodness, how much faster he had gotten!

Now, the thing to know is that running indoors is never a wise decision, truly, Alice knew that. And running indoors in a narrow space such as a train is even less advisable, something Alice knew very well, in addition to the first fact. But Alice was quite set on getting the White Rabbit. Maybe he could tell her how to get everyone out of here because if HE was here then perhaps they could, at the very least, get to Wonderland, and she knew well how to escape from THERE.

In all her running though, Alice was only focusing on the white rabbit, which meant, when she slammed smack into another person, she could only topple to the floor, completely surprised.

"I'm terribly sorry," she managed to get out first as she sat up, a bit achy but otherwise fine. "I didn't mean to run into you. But did you happen to see him?" she asked, looking at who she had run into, feeling more tired than usual.

B: When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead [Kitchen]

Alice was in the kitchen when the accident occurred, though the incident was perhaps a better word if you asked her.

She was staring at a second batch of ruined cookie batter, and trying, with not the best of success, to not get upset. Eventually, though, as she began to pull out the ingredients and measure everything again, in a very rare fit of anger she shoved the entire mixing bowl away from her, and then winced at the thing slammed into the mixing cups and measuring bowls before it clattered to the floor, spilling the contents all over the floor.

"Oh no, no no no!"

C: And your mind is moving low go ask Alice [All over]

She was just so terribly tired.

At first she didn't notice it, no one really made her get up and doing anything but she found herself taking all sorts of small little naps throughout the day. And then she would just be too exhausted to do anything besides stare out a window, which was a problem because Dinah very much needed feeding and taking care of.

But she was just... so tired.

She set Dinah down on the ground, not even able to get up the energy to carry her.

She just wanted to sleep some more, and really every surface looked so wonderfully inviting.

So Alice could be found on the floor in the middle of a pathway, under a table, spread out across several chairs, underneath the shade of several potted plants, aatop the larger pieces of luggage, truly, anywhere, as she tried to just get a bit more sleep. Maybe then she wouldn't feel so tired, maybe her world would be a little less dizzy.

Dinah, her little kitty, for her part, meowed and gently pawed at Alice every time the seven-year-old decided it was time for another nap, trying to get her mistress awake, or at the very least, to sleep in her own bed.

Alice bit her lip.

"I... I don't want to see a doctor," she was seven, doctors were scary, especially since she had never even been to the medical car. "I don't want them to draw blood... or whatever it is doctors do."

"I mean...I get that they seem scary and needles look terrifying, but doctors just want you to be all good and healthy."

Which was the important part of all this, that the other was at least okay.

"And them making you feel better is a good thing."

"I've never even met the doctors here," she offered softly, tugging on her fingers. "Doctors seem to make you feel worse before you ever feel better. Mothers make you feel better, not doctors."

"I don't think I have either." She didn't have a reason to, but at the mention of mothers, she goes extremely quiet. She has her reason for this and it was more because of the fact they are meant to make you feel better... Which...Rapunzel knowing bits that she does now knows that...Gothel never really did.

So it was an odd thing to know that mothers were in fact meant to make one feel better.

"I mean... A doctor could at least explain why you might always feel worse before getting better." She is just going to ignore the mother portion of it all because she honestly doesn't know what to say about that.

"I-" she bites her lip and bows her head. She knows she should, but she doesn't want to. Above all else, she's scared. What if something IS wrong with her? Why else would she keep falling asleep and seeing things and...

"I don't... want to go alone, I don't want to be alone with them," she whispered.

"Then how about this. I will stay with you if that helps?" Because it was not at all nice to be scared and alone with people you don't know and in some cases might actually be not nice people.

She didn't know them. But she figured this way it works.

Alice was silent for a moment before nodding.

"A-Alright. Are... Are we going to go now, then?"

"Its probably a good idea if we go now yes."

Because the sooner the better at least, she thinks holding it off when one isn't well might not be a good idea either.

"But don't worry, as I said I will be with you the whole time."

She gave a small nod as she took hold of Rapunzel's hand. While she didn't look it, Rapunzel would be able to tell she was shaking.

"Promise?"

"I promise and trust me, I won't break a promise."

She could tell and figured by saying that she might help the other a bit. Plus, it was the truth anyway even if she didn't go where she wanted to back home, that wasn't exactly her fault either.

"See, right now I am here and I won't be leaving until you are seen to unless you want me to stick around until after."

They made their way to the medical car. Alice was told to move to a bed, still shaking and never letting go of Rapunzel's hand the entire time.

She let out a breath and was told it would be a few minutes before a doctor could see her.

Rapunzel had made sure to stay with her, in part because she made a promise and in part because she was a scared child and it wasn't nice to just leave someone when they are scared.

While they waited for the doctor Rapunzel was thinking over what to do.

"Oh, while we wait how about we play a game of some kind?"

"A game? Well, I know the riddle game, but do you have a game in mind, Miss Rapunzel?"

"There a riddle game?" She is now invested in this so-called riddle game.

"That one sounds fun."

"There is!" she smiled. "It's very easy. We each give a riddle, if you correctly guess the answer, you get a point. If you give up, the person who gave the riddle gets one point instead. You get three tries to correctly answer a riddle and then you must give up. We switch after each riddle. If you can't think of a riddle at all, the other person gets a point. The one with the most points wins! Although, my sister would insist it's always whoever gets to 5 points first. Does that all make sense?"

Rapunzel nodded slightly. It at least made sense to her anyway and it sounded like it could be a fun game at least.

"Then let's play that. Would you like to start?"
