The White Rabbit and Alice found a most curious sight; a gathering of fifty or so creatures, all armed in some fashion. Some had wooden swords with them, others held frying pans and cutlery. Their armour were pans and pots, or padding strapped to their clothing, some even had metal painted on them. But the most curious thing about this army was that they were all asleep. All except one. A boy, a stern-looking boy with bright blue eyes was looking straight at Alice.
The White Rabbit said: "Forgive me, I'm late, General."
Alice found it quite funny that the White Rabbit would call the boy a general, but both seemed very serious so she did not speak.
"It is quite alright White Rabbit, I suppose you know our mission. All we ask of you is to guide us through the Maze, her labyrinth, and no more. Can you agree with that?"
Alice saw that the White Rabbit was very nervous, he kept fidgetting with his watch and hopping about in the same place. The boy general was looking at the White Rabbit, waiting for a reply. Before she realised what she was doing Alice suddenly said: "I will do it, I have been through her maze, I can guide you through."
White Rabbit stared at Alice, flabbergasted you could call the look on his rabbit face, while the Boy General stepped up to Alice.
"Fair enough Little Girl. Seems fit you show us the way," he said softly to Alice.
And soon the army awoke while the Boy General gave his commands and tried to place them in an orderly fashion. The boy climbed unto his rocking horse.
"Lead the way little girl, we will follow."
