Ch. 1: Boredom Yields Creativity

A very bored set of Twins were ignoring guard duty as normal, instead sitting inside the Hatter Mansion, twiddling their thumbs, as it were, trying to think of something to do. They had tortured all the servants at least twice, the Amusement Park got old after a while and Boss and Newbie-hare were no fun at all.

Lightbulb!

"Let's visit onee-san!"

Not bothering to tell their employer that they'd left they ran to the Clock Tower.

Upon bursting through the door they saw Alice and immediately glomped her.

"Onee-san, play with us!"

Alice, resigned to their usual antics, say, "Well, what do you want to do?"

"We don't know, so one-san can think of something!"

Alice, surprised, managed to wrest herself from their grasp and sit down to ponder 'what to do'. Julius sat in his usual place, anger vein visible, and he said, "Would you kindly be noisy someplace else?"

They moved the party to Alice's room and Alice started listing off ideas, all of which were summarily rejected on the spot.

"How about we put on a play?" she said, still spouting ideas as they came.

"A play?" the twins said.

Alice sat up, glad that one her ideas had made it past the brainstorming process. "Yeah, something everyone will know, like Shakespeare."

"Romeo and Juliet!" the pair squealed. "Onee-san will be Juliet—" Dee said.

"—Of course," Dum interjected, "but who will be Romeo?"

Silence fell.

"It can't be Clock Man. Too stuffy."

"Can't be Boss. Too flirty."

"Or Newbie-hare."

"On general principle."

"Stalker-rabbit—"

"—Hell no," Dee and Alice said together.

"What about us?"

"There can't be two Romeo's," Alice reminded them. The twins looked at each other and said together, "It'll be me."

Together: "No, me!"

"You're too stupid to play Romeo!"

"No I'm not!" And it went on like this until axes were drawn and Alice had to separate them.

"Alright, not Romeo and Juliet then," Alice said.

"Then what?"

Alice pondered quietly for a moment and then, Lightbulb!

"Hamlet. Let's do Hamlet."

The twins looked between each other, unsure. "What's that about?"

"Well…" Alice shuffled through her memories, trying to sum up the play. "Well, there's murder and betrayal and incest and sword fights—"

"LET'S DO IT!"

And so began the project and pain of producing Wonderland's first play.
