Alistair woke up to the blaring of his alarm. He rolled over and turned off the Alarm. It has been a couple of weeks since Alistair confessed his feelings to Bunny. The thought got Alistair quite giddy, and he let out a sigh of relief. Alistair quickly got dressed. Today was his day off, and he was ready to spend the rest of the day with Bunny.
Alistair looked at his calendar, and his joy went down a rabbit hole. 'A school day,' how could he have forgotten that he had to return to Wonderland and graduate. Alistair let out a groan as he grabbed his things and headed out the door.
---------------------------------------
On his way to Grimm's office, he ran into the one person who invaded his every dream. "Bunny!" Alistair couldn't fight the happiness that laced his voice. "Alistair, I was hoping if you could walk with me?" "What kind of boyfriend would I be if I said no?" Alistair stood by Bunny, offering his hand. Bunny couldn't help but blush at the offering and intertwined her hand with Alistair's.
There was a silence that followed, "You know I wanted to take you on a date today, but... well, here we are," Alistair told Bunny. "Maybe we can make up time while we're in Wonderland." "That sounds good," Alistair responded, as he lightly kissed Bunny on the cheek. Bunny couldn't help but smile at such a romantic act. Bunny was quite grateful that no one was around to see this; she didn't want this moment to be ruined.
Eventually, they arrived at the Grimm's office and put some distance between each other.
-----------------------------------------
When Alistair and Bunny entered the office, their friends were already there waiting for them. Principal Grimm was irritated with Alistair and Bunny's tardiness. His brother was a lot more understanding. Bunny and Alistair sat down with their friends. "I'm allowing you children to go back to Wonderland, so that you may be able to graduate." The Wonderland kids were quite displeased having to go back to school on their day off.
"You are allowed to leave, don't cause problems while you're gone." Grimm stared directly at Alistair when he said the final part, and the kids stood up and headed out the door, ready to get the school day over with.
---------------------------------------------
"What took you two so long?" Maddie asked as she pulled out a pocket watch, pressing it on Alistair and Bunny's faces. They continued following Lizzie to the well of wonder. "Bunny and I were a little busy, and we lost track of time." "That's it!? We could have been at Wonderland by now if you two weren't late." Kitty stated as she let out a long yawn. "Well, we're here now, that's all that matters," Bunny added, trying to defend Alistair.
"We're here!" Lizzie announced, and Maddie immediately jumped down the well. Lizzie let out a dramatic sigh as she held her nose and dropped herself into the well. "No. No. No..." Kitty stated, as she smiled and disappeared, heading to what Allistair could assume was Wonderland, leaving Alistair and Bunny alone. Alistair got on top of the well and knelt to offer his hand once more to Bunny.
"You're quite the gentleman," Bunny giggled, as she accepted his hand and got pulled up by Alistair. Alistair held Bunny close, wrapping his arm around her. "You ready?" Bunny merely nodded, and with that, they both fell down the well of wonder.
--------------------------------------------------
No matter how many times Alistair went down the well of wonders, he could never get us to the feeling in his stomach. "Bunny!" Alistair yelled out as he and Bunny got separated. They would all eventually be spat out of the well of wonder and would fall onto the floor. Alistair fell onto the ground with someone on top of him. He would open his eyes to find Bunny on top of him.
There was nothing said between the two as they just stared at each other. Bunny's face would turn a bright red, and she would quickly get off Alistair. "I-I'm so sorry," Bunny stuttered. Alistair couldn't help but miss Bunny's warmth. "What's going on over here?" Maddie appeared, "Nothing, we should get going," Bunny replied, as she began walking away.
-------------------------------------------------
"Those two need to get together." Lizzie stated, "You could smash their heads together and they still wouldn't kiss," Kitty claimed, as she recalled all the times she had seen those two dancing around each other's feelings. "Why don't we set them up. I mean, how hard can it be?" Maddie sarcastically stated. Kitty and Lizzie didn't need to say anything and agreed to Maddie's idea.
------------------------------------------------
The Wonderland kids eventually arrived at school; they knew the moment they stepped foot on school ground; they wouldn't be able to leave. "Well, let's get this over with," Alistair stated, as they all entered the school. They would run into the white rabbit. "Dad!" "Bunny!" Bunny ran to her father and hugged him. The white rabbit handed his daughter a paintbrush, "You'll do a great job. Good luck."
The white rabbit pulled out his pocket watch and left, not before waving to his daughter and her friends. "Thanks, Dad, bye!" "We still have time before heading to class, do you guys want to walk around?" The other agreed, and they began walking around, but they would ultimately get separated. "Woo Hoo, oh how I missed this?" Maddie squealed with excitement.
Bunny and Alistair found themselves upside down and separated from the group. "Hey, Alistair, ~" a girl said in a flirty tone, while other girls giggled as Alistair walked by. Bunny couldn't help but get annoyed at the attention and comments directed at her boyfriend. Alistair put his hand on Bunny's shoulder to console her. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine, it's nothing." Alistair grabbed Bunny's hand and placed a kiss on it.
"Hey, I'm not going anywhere, not to them. You're the only one I want to be with." Alistair asserted, Bunny tackled Alistair into a hug, and they stayed that way for some time. Until... They noticed they were going to be late.
-------------------------------------------------
They made it. Even if their friends were mad at them for almost making them late. Their first class was geometry; thankfully, Maddie's "Weird" comment saved them. "Cut the equation in fourths, and then we'll get X," as she crossed her arms to form an X. Four knights appeared and cut the equation with that response; they passed, and the floor collapsed.
"They found themselves standing in front of a large sphinx. "Welcome to Riddleology, answer my riddle and you shall pass." "Oh, Alistair, this one's yours," Kitty claimed. Alistair felt his ears turn red after being put in the spotlight. 'Really, Kitty!' He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his friends, especially in front of Bunny. "Alright, hit me." "Three playing cards in a row. Can you name them with these clues? There is a two to the right of a king. A diamond will be found to the left of a spade. An ace is to the left of a heart. A heart is to the left of a spade. Now, identify all three cards." Alistair responded,
"The Ace of Diamonds, The King of Hearts, and..." Alistair stopped himself, the final part started getting to him. He took a deep breath, "The Two of Spades." There was a moment of silence, and then, "You may pass," before Alistair could breathe, Kitty had to open her mouth. "Bunny, don't you think Alistair deserves to be rewarded for helping us pass?" Kitty declared, as she gently pushed a blushing Bunny towards a surprised Alistair.
As Kitty winked at Maddie and Lizzie, before anything happened, they all ended up at lunch.
----------------------------------------
Bunny and Alistair were having a great lunch, but the same cannot be said for Kitty. "We have to go get utensils, bye!" Kitty stated, before anyone could say anything. "Oh, those two need to get together immediately!" Maddie demanded, and Lizzie couldn't help but agree. With that, Kitty had a mischievous idea. "What if we spread a rumor that Alistair was interested in one of the girls here?" Lizzie couldn't help but laugh at the suggestion. "A little jealousy could help them admit their feelings about each other." "Alright, let's get to work!"
-------------------------------------------
It was difficult for the group to get to their class due to the large crowd, which clearly wanted to flirt with Alistair. "I-I'm sorry, but where did you hear such a thing?" The crowd answered his question, and Alistair let out a sigh. "I'm sorry to disappoint, but... I'm already seeing someone," with that, everyone went quiet. "What!!!" Now it was the group's turn to be shocked.
"The popular Alistair is dating!? Who?" Maddie demanded to know. Thankfully, the bell rang and everyone hurried to class.
--------------------------------------------
They were able to graduate. The moment the kids left the school, Alistair received a brutal bashing. "We're your friends, yet you couldn't tell us!? Wow..."Kitty sneered, "What about Bunny!?" Lizzie yelled, and Alistair and Bunny were quite confused. "What about her?" "She likes you! And here you are dating someone else!?! Didn't you like her!?" I mean you're driving us a wall!"
As soon as Maddie said that, they were going up a wall. Alistair and Bunny looked at each other and started laughing, leaving the others confused. Alistair threw his arm around Bunny and softly kissed her, leaving the others stunned. "She's the one I'm seeing," Alistair grinned, as Bunny giggled at the affection and the shock on her friends' faces.
"Then why didn't you tell us earlier!?" Despite how angry they were, they truly were happy for their friends' relationship. "About time," Kitty sarcastically mentioned. Alistair and Bunny explained their relationship on their way back to Ever After High.
