Home Again (Viper version)

Messina chuckled evilly and nodded as the preverbal ball was back in her court. "And, uh...what were you saying, my dear?" she asked Viper in a silky voice.

Tigger reappeared on Messina's head with one last trick. "Well, she simply said that you're a fat, pompous, bad-tempered, old tyrant!" he laughed.

As Tigger laughed away into thin air, Messina became very angry. "OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!" she shouted.

The "Disney Afternoon" villains erupted with applause as they dove and swarmed to arrest Viper, who rushed out of the courtroom, knocking away any "Disney Afternoon" villains that got in her way.

"You heard what her majesty said!" Timon announced before getting trampled by the "Disney Afternoon" villains, "Off with her head!"

Jiminy blew on his trumpet to call out more "Disney Afternoon" villains as Viper rapidly slithered out of the castle with about 52 decks worth of "Disney Afternoon" villains hot on her tail.

Viper raced into the maze as the "Disney Afternoon" villains followed suit. The chase continued for about 15 minutes as even Messina and Timon took part in the chase. The chase ended when Viper rapidly slithered (quite literally) into a deck of "Disney Afternoon" villains, knocking them over in the process. Messina ran over the "Disney Afternoon" villains on her side, causing an incline that stopped Viper in her tracks.

As she slid down the "Disney Afternoon" villain slide, she noticed the hedge maze vanishing and suddenly wind up in another caucus race, led by Pumbaa, of course. The racers included Messina, Timon, Warren T. Rat, Digit, Yakko and Wakko Warner, James P. Sullivan, Mike Wazowski, some Oysters, and a deck's worth of "Disney Afternoon" villains.

Everyone (except Viper): *Forward, backward, inward, outward, here we go again*
*No one ever loses and no one can ever win*
*Backward, forward, outward, inward, bottom to the top*
*Never a beginning...*

Viper pulled herself out of the caucus and started rapidly slithering across a beach, with Messina and the "Disney Afternoon" villains chasing after her.

"Off with her head!" Messina shouted, "Off with her head!"

Viper kept on slithering rapidly as the rocks she jumped over turned into teapots; she suddenly found herself back at Warren and Digit's tea party. Just then, Warren and Digit appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Viper.

"Just a moment," Warren said. "You can't leave a tea party without having a cup of tea, you know!"

Viper panted, "But-but I can't stop now!"

"Ah, but we insist," said Digit. "You must join us in a cup of tea!"

The cat disguised as a rat and the cockroach pushed Viper into a giant cup of tea, which seemed to be more spacious than it looked. She came out, seeing that the tea turned into water...an ocean at that. As she swam, Messina was riding at her, using the same method the travel Pumbaa did earlier on.

"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" Messina shouted.

Viper immediately noticed Flik, smoking on top of his mushroom.

"Mr. Flik, what will I do?" Viper asked.

He turned to her, not seeming to enjoy her company and blew smoke at her. "Who are you?" Flik asked.

As Viper coughed from the smoke, she suddenly felt solid ground on her underbelly. The ocean around her disappeared as Flik's smoke swirls into a tunnel that stretched for miles. Viper wasted no time slithering rapidly as Messina and the "Disney Afternoon" villains were right behind her.

"There she goes!" Messina called, "Don't let her get away! Off with her head!"

The tunnel went on for a while until Viper came upon Pepe. She reached out, desperately trying to grab him. She finally managed to grab it and tried to open the door. However, Pepe groaned in pain as Viper grabbed him. "Still locked, you know." he said.

"But Queen Messina!" Viper explained, "I simply must get out."

Pepe chuckled. "But you *are* outside." he said.

Viper was confused. "What?"

"See for yourself, *ma cher*!" said Pepe, as he opened his mouth wide to show what he was talking about. Viper looked inside and saw herself out in the riverbank, asleep under the tree, with Berlioz in her coils.

"Why, why that's me!" Viper exclaimed, "I'm asleep!"

"Don't let her get away!" Messina ordered, "Off with her head!"

The female snake turned around to see Messina and her mob rushing at her, and this time she was cornered with nowhere else to run.

"Viper! Viper, wake up!" Viper begged herself, "Please wake up, Viper!"

She attempted to wake the other Viper on the other side up. But she was too late! The attacks finally reached her, mere inches away from hitting her.

At that moment, everything went bright white. The last thing Viper could hear was a distant voice calling her name, "Viper! Viper!"

The voice revealed to be Kitty in the real world, who was calling to her friend to wake up. "Viper! Viper!" Kitty called out, "Will you please pay attention and recite your lesson?"

Finally, Viper woke up from her slumber. Her mind was still fresh from her "adventure." She asked, "Hmmm? Oh. Oh! Uh..." She heard to the word "recite," and she suddenly shot up to recite.

Viper: *How doth the little crocodile*
*Improve his shining tail*
*And pour the waters of the...*

"Viper, what are you talking about?" Kitty cut her off.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mother." Viper apologized to her mother, "But you see, Dijon said..."

"Dijon?" Kitty was confused. "Oh, for goodness' sake! Viper, I...Oh, well." she said, "Come along, your father and brothers are waiting for you. It’s time for dinner, anyway."

Kitty led Viper home from the park for dinner as Viper picked up Berlioz. Viper was glad to be home after the long adventure she had. Even if it was just a crazy dream...Or was it? One thing was for sure, Viper knew that she would remember this dream for a long, long time...and the new yet, strange friends she met along the way.

Chorus: *Viper in Wonderland*
*Over the hill or here or there*
*I wonder where*

*The End*
