Alice woke up screaming. She was breathing deeply; sweat was streaming down her body. She looked around and she found out that she is once again in a new place. She was confused.
This time it wasn’t a forest, just a little room with the floor and the walls made of wood. In the centre of the room there was a little round table with two chairs. A lot of pictures were hanging on the walls, but Alice’s attention was attracted to a big wall clock with a large pendulum. At first sight, Alice knew that it wasn’t a normal clock. The minute and second hands were running very fast, and according to this clock, in less than two minutes 24 passed! Alice blinked her eyes, and she found with disbelief that this clock was just broken.
Suddenly, in the little doors in front of Alice, appeared two boys. After a minute Alice noticed that the boys were very much alike and the first thing that came to Alice’s mind was that they were twins.
A: Who are you?
LIGHT: My name is Light and this is my brother Makoto. Do you remember something?
Alice racked her brain and she remembered a large space wher a strange light came to her, when she was in the large tree.
A: I remember I was in a large tree and it was dark everywhere there. Suddenly, everything got brighter and I lost consciousness. Then I had a very strange dream.
MAKOTO (with curiosity): A dream? About what?
A: It doesn’t matter.
L: No, Alice! You must tell us! We have to know that. It’s very important!
Alice looked at them with surprise. Why must they know that? It was just a dream. The second very strange matter: how do they know my name? I don’t remember telling them. But Alice forgot about it and she tried to remember her dream.
A: I dreamt about a strange Boys’ World, where I met one person. I don’t remember who was there, but this man tried to help me. I had to go back to my world and he went with me to see the Queen. And...
The words got stuck in Alice’s throat. Now she remembered what this boy must do... he must marry this dreadful Queen. And all that for her, Alice. For her return home. She told the twins about it. They exchanged glances and started to explain what Alice must do.
