6 Run, Rabbit!

Somewhere not so far away, a large white castle can be seen. A garden had white roses all over, a gardener wearing a black robe looked worried but the other gardener comforted him.

"Oh, what must I do, brother? I have planted the wrong ones!"

"Not just you, Pat! We are in this together, are we not? We can just paint it red!" The other replied with positivity.

The gardener nodded, wiping his tears, "All right then! Let's get the paint!"

The roses were messily painted by the gardeners who were in a hurry to please the Queen of Hearts.

Alas, they had put too less effort and too much stupidity. Tonight, they kneel before the castle, surrounded by red-white roses and guardsmen who held polearms. They stomp their polearms to the ground then pointed it to the two gardeners, knelt on the damp ground, in front of the queen, reveling in despair of their stupidity.

"Off with their heads!"

The queen remarked with force. At the same time, one of the two guardsmen slashed both of their heads at the same time, the dark blood made contrast to bright red of the roses.

"Guards!" The queen exclaimed, her voice echoing through the dark evening. She took a deep breath before calmly and sweetly saying, "Clean up their bodies, will you?"

The guards who were dressed in red and white saluted in response, though their faces don't show their loyalty but rather their fear of her.

"Hmph!" The Queen of Hearts turned her back, her furry cape was damp from the rain but she showed no interest. As she walked towards the grand entrance, the guards open the door for her and she seemed proud of what she become.

Niven the rabbit lead Felix and Arisu to a tree where there was a hole leading to an underground place.

Felix did not prefer he vibrant colours of Wonderland. The sun was brighter, the trees were greener, the leaves were purple even. It was uncanny.

"Hey, Felix," said Arisu as they jump from mushroom to mushroom. The mushrooms were as large as a small shed. "We've been walking forever. How much time you have left?"

Felix checked the timer. 00:08:43.

"Eight minutes."

"Wonderful. We are not going to make it," remarked Arisu sarcastically, sighing. "Hey, bunny! How long do we got left 'till we arrive?"

Niven gritted his teeth, "Don't be a child, rabbit wannabe--"

"You're so cringe. Nobody wants to look like you."

"--stop whining and be patient. We're almost there. Why even bother coming with us if you're just going to whine, whine, and whine."

00:06:07

"Huh? Are you not the one who's shaped like a child? Rabbits are known for their excessive mating but there's not one female rabbit that would come close to you, huh?" Arisu retorted back. Felix looked at him, telling him to stop but he stared back and grinned as if saying, "One more and I'll quit it."

"Hare," said Arisu, with a mischievous smirk. "Should I start calling you an incel?"

The rabbit stopped in its tracks. Perhaps he had enough of being Arisu's toy? Felix hoped they wouldn't fight here.

"Niven, don't fight back." Felix said, trying to relax him. "He's just mean like that."

"Felix..." The rabbit's black eyes looked at him with respect. "You're a nice guy. But I'm a little guy so I need to step up and fight."

"No, you don't. Don't escalate this any further please."

00:03:58

"He was the one started it, Felix. Why aren't you scolding him?"

00:03:21

"I'll scold him later, okay?"

Arisu laughed. "Scold who, Felix? I'm older and clearly stronger than you." He placed a hand on his abs, flaunting his strength."You're not scolding me, little boy."

"Urgh..." Felix grunted. He was right, though he didn't like being belittled. "Come on, Arisu. Don't escalate this any further. The punishment I'll receive is getting rid of ten big memories-- whatever that means but you get me."

Arisu cackled and started stretching his body.

"What's wrong with a few lost memories, eh? I've lost some of mine and I'm clearly fine!"

No, you are not, Felix wanted to say.

00:01:48

Felix checked the time and started panicking.

"Arisu, we only have a few seconds left--"

"A few seconds for the rabbit to prepare!" He interrupted. "I'll beat yo' ass, rabbit incel!"

Niven, who was preparing himself the whole time, nodded and readied his stance."

00:00:32

"It's over!" Felix despaired, exhausted from trying to stop the two. At the last second, he clasped his hand together and prayed.

'Lord, may what happens next be for the best of me.'

A song that went, "Run, rabbit! Run, rabbit!" begun playing and a large missile was in front of his vision.
