Gaston looked instantly startled as Lady Tremaine, with a menacing stare, stared everyone down and cackled menacingly. “Now, everyone bow down to me, Lady Tremaine, your new master.”
    Not anyone bowed down, and Lady Tremaine’s eyes turned ice cold. “How dare anyone not bow down to me!”
    “I was the one who did all the work,” Gaston told Lady Tremaine bossily. He loaded his gun and prepared to shoot at Lady Tremaine. “Don’t you dare make any more declarations of power.”
    “Oh, why not!” Lady Tremaine announced with an evil grin. “Everyone around, my seizure of all slaves in the castle will lead to my domination of everything around me!”
    Just then, Mulan suddenly had an idea. She left her place in the circle as the others looked indignantly. With a quick snatch, Mulan took Alice’s book away from her. Alice protested, but Belle gave her a look to be quiet.
    “Not quite,” Mulan told Lady Tremaine.
    “What?” Lady Tremaine asked Mulan confusedly.
    “Even if you do make everybody in the world your slave, you won’t be able to take over Wonderland’s inhabitants…” Alice perked up.
    “What do you mean, I won’t be able to take over Wonderland’s people?” Lady Tremaine asked confusedly. “Of course you will, if I take over everywhere else’s.”
    Alice got the message. She trotted over to the center of the circle and stood right next to Lady Tremaine and Gaston. “No,” Alice told Lady Tremaine and Gaston. “If you take over everything, you won’t be able to take over nothing.”
    “I don’t know what this inch-worm sized brat is talking about,” Gaston angrily told Lady Tremaine. “Do you?”
    “No, but she’s slowing me down. Get her out of here, Gaston.” Lady Tremaine ordered.
    “Ah, if you don’t take over Wonderland, you’ll miss out on the Queen of Hearts,” Alice slyly told Gaston.
    “The Queen of Hearts?” Gaston asked. “What do you mean, the Queen of Hearts?”
    “I mean, the Queen of Hearts is going to allow all of your love dreams to come true, that is why she is named the Queen of Hearts. So thus, all of the girls in the castle will gladly marry you once she permits you to.”
    Jasmine looked outraged at Alice, but Cinderella held her back and whispered, “This will turn out fine.”
    “So if I get the Queen of Hearts to marry me…does that mean I get to marry all the girls on the planet!” Gaston asked triumphantly.
    “Oh, yes, yes!” Alice told Gaston. “We will all marry you with approval from the Queen of Hearts.”
    Alice then skipped over to Lady Tremaine and told her, “And without taking over the Queen of Hearts’ and her country, you won’t be able to make the citizens of Wonderland your slaves.”
    “So, I see…how do I take over this Wonderland? With my power and commanding presence, I shall be able to take over everything, if the Wonderland people are even going to be around to deal with me.” Lady Tremaine asked.
    “Why, you can teleport inside the book, of course!” Aurora told Lady Tremaine.
    “Well, let’s do it!” Gaston told Lady Tremaine. “I need to marry…” but Lady Tremaine held him back.
    “You really think that we will be fooled that easily without further questioning?” Lady Tremaine told the others.
    However, just then, Mulan and Pocahontas sprung forward to try to corner Lady Tremaine and Gaston.
    Gaston was just about to prepare his gun toward Mulan, but Jasmine knocked it out of his hand and took it.
    Alice meanwhile, set her book at the corner of the entryway, while Mulan and Pocahontas cornered the two of them.
    Lady Tremaine punched Gaston out of the way, squealing, “Oh, that stupid big…” However, just then, a squealing occurred. Gaston’s face touched Alice’s book, and before everyone knew it, Gaston was gone.
    “Uh…I knew something was wrong with that book,” Lady Tremaine told the others. “No matter. Once I get inside, I will rid the Queen of Hearts out of the way and will come back, with the whole kingdom of Wonderland under my control!”
    Lady Tremaine hurriedly trotted over toward the book, and she cackled loudly. By the time Lady Tremaine was gone, the door opened from outside. Esmeralda, Jane, Eilonwy, and Megara came in, along with the stepsisters and LeFou.
    “Where is Mother?” Drizella asked.
    “And Gaston?” LeFou asked.
    “They are taking over Wonderland,” Snow White told them, pointing over to the book in the corner.
    Without any hesitation, LeFou, Drizella, and Anastasia took off and entered the book, each time vanishing. Then from the upstairs came a sound of angry noises. Vixey, Lady, Duchess, and Perdita were chasing down Lucifer and Lilith down the stairs.
    The two cats struck back at the newcomers, but soon, there was a fearsome roar. The princesses turned around and saw a huge lioness prowl her way into the room. She swiped at Lucifer and Lilith, who quickly went into the corner and with a meow, vanished.
    “I enjoyed that,” the lioness spunkily stated. “My name is Nala, by the way…”
    As Nala slunk out of Lady Tremaine’s palace, all but the nine princesses and Alice left the entryway.
    “Are Lady Tremaine and Gaston going to get out of there?” Ariel asked Alice curiously.
    Alice told her, “Mind you, I don’t think so.” Alice soon had a devilish grin on her face and stated, “I am one of the precious few who have ever met the Queen of Hearts and came back to report on it.”
    “You mean…”Belle asked, before Alice nodded. “Sorry for Lady Tremaine and Gaston, but I don’t think the Queen of Hearts likes newcomers very much.”
