DG sat in the library with her father; the two had been getting along with each other more and more as time passed.
Wyatt Cain stood in the corner watching the two royals. The two had dropped into a quiet happiness with each other and each had a book that they were reading.
Ahamo started to hum a song and DG started to laugh. Looking up at her father, she asked: "You're a Jefferson Airplane fan?"
Ahamo blushed. "Yes."
DG laughed loudly. "You don't know they changed their name. They aren't Jefferson Airplane anymore. They’re Jefferson Starship now."
"Why?" asked Ahamo.
"No idea," DG replied.
"What are you talking about?" Cain asked from his corner.
"A rock band from the other side," said DG. "When they first started out, they were called Jefferson Airplane and, later, in the eighties or about there, they changed their name to Jefferson Starship."
"Oh," said Cain, like he really understood any of that.
"One of their most famous songs is called 'White Rabbit', which is about Alice in Wonderland , which is a book," Ahamo said.
"Okay," Cain replied. He was lost on what the two were talking about.
DG laughed. "How do you explain Alice in Wonderland ?" Ahamo buried his face in his hands and laughed. "Dad, you must know the words to the song," DG commented. "Just work from there."
Ahamo sighed. This was a very bad idea. "You know he is going to think the worst of us, if Cain understands it at all."
"So be it," DG said with a smile.
"One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall," Ahamo spoke the words, instead of singing them.
"What does that mean?" Cain asked.
"Your show," DG said.
Ahamo was looking for the right words to try and explain the song when he looked up at the mirror above the fireplace. It looked like there was a swirling vortex in it. "What the hell is that?"
Cain looked up when the consort spoke and, looking at what Ahamo was staring at, Cain saw the mirror. He moved closer to DG and her father and pulled out his gun, ready for almost anything, he hoped.
"Blimey," said a voice coming from the mirror. "Are you sure this isn't normal here?"
"No Hatter, it isn't," said a female voice.
When the vortex stopped, DG, Ahamo and Cain could see two people in the mirror, but it wasn't their reflection. The female had brown hair and blue eyes - she reminded Cain of DG - and the male had brown hair that stuck out everywhere underneath the weird little hat on his head.
“Hello,” DG said. She tried to move closer to the mirror, but Cain put his hand on her arm to keep her away from the thing. “Oh, Mr. Cain, they can't hurt me from the mirror.”
“I wouldn't bet on it, Kid,” Cain said.
“How did this happen?” asked the girl.
“I was reciting lyrics from a Jefferson Airplane song,” said Ahamo. “Then the mirror went nuts and you appeared.”
“White Rabbit?” asked the girl.
“Yeah,” DG said, “how did you know? Where are you?”
“I'm Alice,” said the girl. “I live in New York City and, when Jefferson Airplane is brought up, well, 'White Rabbit’ is their most famous song.”
“You're on the other side,” said Ahamo.
“The other side?” Hatter asked. “What does that mean?”
“Well,” DG replied, “we’re in the O.Z.”
“Oz?” asked Alice.
“Well, sort of,” Ahamo said. “It's not the same, but, yes.”
