Alice headed in the direction she’d seen her Nanny go, down a long hallway towards some palace guards. “Outta the way!” She yelled, holding on to the waist of the diaper for fear that it would let go and expose more than Alice wished to show.
“I’m sorry ma’am, you can’t? go in there.” The guard started off in an authoritative tone but lost his train of thought as Alice approached. Almost right before his eyes, she aged nearly a year, her breasts beginning to return to her, her arms and legs growing as he watched in awe. Alice blew right past him, through the double doors, and into the sunlight.
“Did you just see?” The guard stammered to his companion.
“I think so. Come on, let’s go!” The two guardsmen joined the screaming nanny in pursuit of Alice.
Alice found herself in a garden. All around her were the Queen’s underlings. Guards stood to watch over everything, and court jesters and performers entertained the crowd. There were loud conversations and the clinking of teacups, but all that died as soon as Alice burst through the door. She found herself the center of attention; a girl dressed in a diaper and the remains of a pink baby sleeper. Alice was suddenly very aware of a cold draft blowing across her exposed midriff.
“Stop that child stop that little? baby?” The nanny yelled as she entered the courtyard, flanked on either side by a guard. She stood dumbfounded as she looked Alice up and down. Alice just stood there, unsure of what to do. “What happened to you?” The nanny asked.
“What is the meaning of this? What is going on?” The Queen demanded.
All at once, Alice, the Duchess, the nanny, and both guards started in on their stories. “Hold it!” Shouted the Queen. “One at a time. Let’s start with you.” She pointed to Alice.
“Hello, your majesty. I’d bow, but, I’d? um.” Alice gestured to her clothes, the pins on the diaper threatening to bust at any moment, and the Queen smiled. Some of her guests let out a chuckle. “You see, I’m really sixteen, but I fell down a hole, and I ended up here, and this old lady gave me a potion, which turned me into a baby, but I grew out of it. Then, I found a talking caterpillar, and he said he knew of a way to get me back home but that I’d have to go with his friend the Duchess to see you, and in order to do so I’d have to return to being a baby- but only for a little while, as his potion wears off and then I’d return to my normal size, and Ohhh!” With one last spasm, Alice grew back to her full-figured, self. It was then that Alice realized she was peeing. To her extreme embarrassment, everyone at the party noticed it too, as the diaper grew dark and heavy. “You? see?” Alice finished weakly.
“Get this girl a robe!” Called the Queen. In just a few moments, one of the guards threw a long thick robe over Alice’s shoulders. With some careful maneuvering, Alice was able to put her arms down the sleeves and tie them securely around her waist, keeping the soaking garment in check. Luckily, nobody saw anything they weren’t supposed to, and at least a shred of Alice’s dignity remained intact.
“Now then. Walk with me.” The Queen said. Alice did as she was told, and followed the Queen through the palace gardens. There, she elaborated on her story, and at the end of it all, the Queen asked. “Now- how can I help you?”
“I want to go back home,” Alice said.
“Yes, after being treated as you were I can see why.” The Queen said.
“It wasn’t horrible,” Alice said. “I made a lot of friends. I met a talking cat, and a helpful caterpillar, and the Duchess.” Alice smiled as she thought of the Duchess. “Still? I can’t forget my home and my friends and family there.”
The Queen looked thoughtfully at Alice and then said, “I’m sorry. I can’t help you.”
Alice was shocked. “What do you mean, you have to help me.”
“I can’t.” The Queen reiterated. “But I know who can. I’ll take you there.” The Queen led Alice out of the garden, through a well-hidden door in the castle wall, and down a short path overgrown with ivy. At the end of the path there was another door, but it was unlike any door Alice had ever seen. It moved, and flowed, like the surface of a body of water, but it was dark purple in color. Beside the door waited the Duchess.
