~Oh, the Places You'll Go~ Never Green Field: A green, lush meadow that is empty, except for long grass, and a few rocks and trees. This area seems to change as the time passes, and no one wants to venture there in the dark, for it is said to make anyone lost and drive them mad. The Field seems to have a mind of it's own.Wonderland: Down the rabbit hole you go to have some tea or smoke some dope! There you'll meet all of Alice's friends, but beware, for a wicked one still lives here.GooVille: The land of Cats, and Whos, and Green Eggs and Ham! It's the colorful, wonderful world of Seuss! Adventures around every corner and new places to explore! Nothing is ever dull in GooVille!Live Wood Forest: A woods only the bravest enter, for no one has ever gone in and returned. The trees, they speak, and move, and feel. Beware for it is their world in there, and you play by their rules now.MirrorrorriM Kingdom: Here, everything is wrong and also right. Upside down and inside out. Here you meet your other half, the opposite to what you are; your shadow. The shadows are people, who walk the world. If you stay to long, they may just switch places, so you will soon be under there feet!Corron Mountains: Vast and large. These hill sides and mountain tops play with people, the wind whispers to everyone and no one at all. The seasons change for one to another. You'll go to sleep as the leaves start to fall, and awake when the snow begins to melt away; the grass and flowers alive once more.The City of La: The capital of the book land, a city so big, so filled, who knows what shall happen! It's futuristic and medieval, jumping from time to time. A place where The King rules with his Queen by his side. A lord of good and grace, but evil shall soon brew there. An evil that will spread, and take over. Never Never Land: Just as you've heard. Fly up and it's second to the right, and straight on till morning. A world were pirates, Indians, mermaids, and everyone else lives. And you never grow up. Never. As long as you're there, you'll stay the same age. It's a world of wonder and mystery, fulled with things to do. But now, the island has turned upside down. Hook has taken over, killing most of the other residents of Never Land. The lost boys have scattered, hiding and trying to survive. The Indian tribe is almost completely whipped out. It is total insanity. No one can get to Never Land unless they already now the way, and can fly. The island is a part of the book world, a part that almost no one knows of.* If you want me to add a place from another book, please ask and pm me.

Falling. That was the last thing she could remember.
Sitting in a hospital bed for the tenth time that month was just the usual for Maila. Nothing special there. The doctors had come and gone, changing her IV and giving her medicine. None of them knew what was wrong with her, and no one would tell her anything. They all just had that sense of dread when they had entered her room, as if the happiness in the world had been sucked out of it. Her brother, Travis, had been by once before he had gone to work. He always came by to see her with a smile and that permanent tired look he always had on his face. It was the same as everyday.
What she hated the most, was that she never knew what anyone was saying. At least that was what THEY thought. It was all medical talk to her and she truly didn't care to listen. It just pissed her off when the doctors and nurses talked in such big words, trying not to let her know what they said, but she knew. She'd read so many books she knew better grammar and vocabulary then most teens her age.
It was the only thing she did. Read. They were her priced possessions, her best friends. Nothing else could make her happy except them. Why should she be happy anyway? It was only a matter of time before she did die. The books helped her forget about that; let her venture into a world of her own and it didn't matter to her at all if it was real or not. It made her feel alive again.
That day, as she lay in bed and finished one of her favorite books for the 20th time, she was getting bored. Laying in starch white bed sheets and staring at bleach white walks all day didn't exactly scream excitement. So what would a little walls hurt? The doctors DID say she needed to get some energy back. So, with the IV in hand, she walked off down the hallways of the hospital.
It wasn't a busy day at all, the halls almost empty. The doctors were all off doing other things with other people. She knew everyone there and everyone knew her, and Maila hated it.
Dragging the IV behind her she stumbled around the white halls in her white night gown. Everything was white. All white and clean and perfect looking. She hated that too. She hated a lot of things.
It was silent in the corridors, almost to silent. Normally people were there, talking or giving orders. It didn't really make sense. Where was everyone?
Maila stopped, frozen to her spot and looked around. Her dull brown eyes gazing down and all around the hospital walls. This is weird....
"Hello-"
The air was pushed out of her lungs as she went flying, an invisible force had shoved her back, her vision to blurred to see anything clearly. And then, she heard the shattering of glass and the pain as it scratched up her exposed skin. What had just happened?!
And that's what was happening now. Falling. The wind rushing by her and off in the distance she heard some form of screaming and crying. Maila didn't know how long she was in the air, and didn't care. This feeling didn't feel bad. It felt like she was flying away.
And then it all stopped. She didn't feel anything. Nothing at all. And her world went black.

Cheshire was sitting on a rock looking bored. He was located in the Never Green Field. A large meadow of lush green grass as far as the eye could see. There was nothing but grass, rocks, and the occasional tree. The field seemed to change with the time of day too. From bright and joyful in the morning, to dark, dreadful, and dead as the sun went down.
The Cheshire Cat pulled out a pocket watch- well....it was really the White Rabbit's pocket watch, and the rodent was probably freaking out back in Wonderland by now, tearing the place apart because he could find it, but Cheshire only chuckled lightly. It was fun messing with the rabbit.
The watch read half past two and Cheshire glanced around again. Where was she? She should be here by now! And Cheshire knew he was in the right place! So where was she!? He tapped his fingers on the stone below him, looking around only to see the long grass dancing in the breeze.
"Why are girls always so late?"

"It's their spice, you see. They just love to screw with you and me." The Cat in the Hat smiled at Cheshire from behind. He stood with his hands both leaning on his cane in front of him, his white hat crooked so it hide one of his eyes.
He had appeared out of no where, but that was the joy of living in such a place. You could walk up to someone and they'd never know! What did you think I would say? They could teleport? No, dear children. We walk just like everyone else.
Cat then lost that cocky smirk on his lips as he realize he'd done it again. Rhymes! The rhymes! How he hated those stupid rhymes and he just couldn't stop! Whether it be hop or pop, fox and box, or even his own name! How dare those words mock him so!

Cheshire grinned wickedly and chuckled at the frustrated cat. His laughter was like a broken record that mocked you as it repeated over and over again.
"Having a little trouble with the ryhmey whimys kitty witty?" He loved making Cat so mad. It was fun and it pasted the time. He found it amazing how they were the same species but looked and acted so very different. It was a mystery no one could really solve. The Cat and he would always get into arguments every time they saw each other. Sort of like a sibling rivalry, it was quit funny to see what the other would come up with next. Though, Cheshire did think Cat was winning so far.

Cat growled at him. "Shut up." He plopped down next to Cheshire on the rock, his cane in lap. "You can't be talking when you haven't even found this girl yet!" Cat held back the urge the whack that cocky, mocking smirk of Cheshire's face with his cane, but resisted the feeling. He was a gentlemen. Not a wild beast. Well.....that was half true.
He looked over to the other purple cat, his eye brown raised slowly. "Well no wonder you can't find her." This time he DID whack the cat in the head. "The map is upside down dumbass!" And it was. The Ever Green Field map Cheshire had was upside down. He deserved that whack.

"Your both idiots and morons and the likes of such creatures. Stupid cats, always yowling at each other." Wish crossed her legs, her thin eyebrows raised at the two bickering.
"Now if you would give ME the map, I'm very sure I could find her." She tinkered with the broken watch that hung on a golden chain around her neck and pulled a piece of glass out from it and flicked it into the grass.
Wish stood and plucked up the map from her bickering companions, she pushed her large ear out of the way and studied it for a moment, turning it around to view every angle and then ended up with it right side up. "On ward, this way!" she pointed towards the way they came and sauntered into the tree's, her hips and her ears swinging in momentum.
