The Pool of Tears (Kairi version)

Kairi continued to fall, but she began to float down. As she floated downward, she sighed in relief.

"Well, after this, I shall not think of anything but fa-" Kairi began, before her skirt covered her mouth and she pushed it away, and she finished, "of falling downstairs."

She saw a lamp attached to the side of the hole and turned it on. The rabbit hole suddenly was bathed in green. Kairi was surpriesd to find that she was floating down a strange room. As she floated downward, she looked surprised to see that her reflection was upside down. She saw a book float past her, so she picked it up and looked through it and saw that it was nothing but pictures, so she set it on a floating table.

Suddenly, she heard loud chiming noises and saw a grandfather clock attached to the wall. As she continued to float down, the room's light became red and she floated into a rocking chair. She sighed, as she relaxed, but then, she went back too far and fell out and continued to float downward.

"Goodness," Kairi said. "What if I should fall right through the center of the EAARRTH...?" She said, before floated down fast and went through a tight space in the hole. "... and come out of the other side, where people walk upside down?" She turned upside down, as she said this, but then got caught on something. She then saw Piglet run down a weird hallway. She was upside down and her legs were hanging from a bar. She righted herself and resumed the chase. "Oh, Mister Pig!" Kairi called, as she chased after him. "Wait! Please!"

She ran into a room and heard a door close. She ran to the door and opened it, only to find a smaller door. She continued opening doors, until she reached the last door, which was about a foot high. She squeezed through it and crawled into a very large empty room.

"Curiouser and curiouser," Kairi commented.

She saw a small pair of curtains close and she ran up to them and opened them up. There was small door about six inches high, with a large, slightly obese owl with purple feathers, thick white eyebrows, yellow feet, a black cape with a red interior and collar, wears a monocle on his right eye, green eyes. She began to open the door and the owl let out a yelp of pain.

"Oh!" Kairi said. "Oh, I beg your pardon. My name is Kairi."

"Oh, oh. Quite alright." the owl said. "I am the Grand Duke of the Owls. But you did give me quite a turn!"

"You see, I was following-" Kairi began.

"Rather good, what?" the Grand Duke of Owls said. "Doorknob, turn?"

"Please, sir," Kairi said.

"Well, one good turn deserves another," the Grand Duke of Owls said. "What can I do for you?"

"Well, I'm looking for a pink pig," Kairi said. "So, uh, if you don't mind..."

"Uh? Oh!" the Grand Duke of Owls said before he revealed an image and Kairi peeked in to see Piglet running away.

"There he is!" Kairi said. "I simply must get through."

The Grand Duke of Owls shook his head and said, "Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassible."

"You mean impossible?" asked Kairi.

"No, impassible," the Grand Duke of Owls said. "Nothing's impossible. Why don't you try the bottle on the table?"

"Table?" Kairi said, before a table appeared out of nowhere with a small bottle on it and she ran to it. "Oh!"

"Read the directions," the Grand Duke of Owls said, with a laugh, "and directly, you'll be directed in the right direction."

Kairi read the tag hanging from the bottle. "DRINK ME," she read, before she said, "Hmm, better look first. For if one drinks much from a bottle marked 'poison', it's almost certain to disagree with one sooner or later."

"Beg your pardon?" the Grand Duke of Owls asked.

Kairi laughed and said, "I was just giving myself some good advice." She drank some of the bottle and licked her lips. "Mm! Tastes like, uh... cherry tart." Suddenly, she shrunk a couple inches. "...custard..." She said as she shrunk some more. "...pineapple..." she said, as she shrunk to four inches in height. "...roast turkey," Kairi said, before the bottle suddenly collapsed on her. "Goodness!" Kairi said, before she put the bottle next to her on the floor. "What did I do?" she asked.

The Grand Duke of Owls laughed and said, "You almost went out like a candle!"

"But look!" Kairi said, as she ran up to the Grand Duke of Owls. "I'm just the right size!"

"Oh, no use," the Grand Duke of Owls said as he laughed again. "I forgot to tell you, ho-ho-ho-ho! I'm locked!"

"Oh, no," Kairi groaned, as she put her hand on her forehead, looking like she was about to cry.

"Ha-ha-ha, but, of course, uh, you've got the key, so..." the Grand Duke of Owls began.

"What key?" Kairi asked

"Now, don't tell me you've left it up there," the Grand Duke of Owls said, as he glanced up at the table and the key appeared.

"Oh dear!" Kairi said. She tried climbing on the glass table's leg, but it was too slippery. She slid down to the floor and then sat down with her legs close to her body and put her hand on her face. "What ever will I do?" she said.

The Grand Duke of Owls laughed and said to Kairi, "Try the box, naturally."

"Oh," Kairi said, as a small box appeared in front of her. She opened it up and inside of the box were a bunch of cookies with words on them. "Eat me," Kairi read. She picked up a pink cookie with EAT ME written in blue frosting. "Alright. But goodness know what this will do," Kairi said, as she took a bite. She suddenly started to have a series of rapid growth spurts. "Wow, wow, wow, wow!" Kairi yelled, as she grew bigger. The Grand Duke of Owls' beak was covered by Kairi's giant foot. "Oh!" she said, as she bumped her head on the ceiling.

She was about 70 ft. tall and barely fit in the room.

"Whtwhsthswwdthdwd!" The Grand Duke of Owls mumbled behind Kairi's slip-on shoe.

"What did you say?" The giant Kairi asked, moving her foot aside.

"I said, 'A little of that went a long way!'" the Grand Duke of Owls said and he began laughing.

Kairi sniffled, looking close to tears again.

"Well, I don't think it's so funny," Kairi said.

Then Kairi teared up and started crying. "Now-Now, I'll never get home!" she sobbed.

A giant tear fell onto the ground in front of the Grand Duke of Owls.

"Oh, come on, now," the Grand Duke of Owls said. "Crying won't help."

"I know, but..." Kairi sobbed. "I-I-I just can't stop!"

She began crying like crazy and the massive tears began to flood the room.

"Hey! Hey, you! Bwbwlwbbwlwbl!" the Grand Duke of Owls said, as he swallowed some water. "Say, this won't do at all! You, you up there, stop! Stop, I say!" Kairi didn't listen, as she continued to cry her eyes out. The Grand Duke of Owls noticed the bottle floating in the water. "Oh, look! The bottle! THE BOTTLE!" he shouted.

Kairi picked up the tiny bottle and drank the last of it. She shrunk to 2 inches and fell into the bottle.

"Oh dear," Kairi said, "I do wish I hadn't cried so much."

"Glpglpglp," the Grand Duke of Owls said, as he swallowed the water and Kairi and the bottle floated into the keyhole.
