1 Entering Wonderland

"Remember... me..."

Hector finished playing his beloved song to a sleeping Coco. He leaned in close to give his daughter a soft kiss goodnight. The kiss made Coco smile in her sleep.

Satisfied, Hector made his way to the kitchen to find Imelda in a peaceful slumber instead of peeling potatoes. With a small chuckle, he kissed his wife on the cheek, turned off the kitchen light, and went to sleep himself.

Imelda and Rosita were listening to Victoria lecture on and on about quantum physics.

"When you're looking at something... You're beliefs and expectations of how that something will behave effects how it will act..."

Rosita was absolutely fascinated by the subject. Imelda, on the other hand, found it more or less unappealing. She understood quantum physics perfectly but found it rather boring.

Imelda soon found herself turning her head at the sound of somebody saying,"Oh my gosh! Look how late it's getting!"

Imelda gasped to see that somebody was Dante... with a watch!

Dante flew away in a hurry. Feeling rather curious, Imelda checked to see if Victoria and Rosita noticed Dante as well. They didn't so Imelda decided to follow the rainbow dog.

As Imelda ran, the cool, crisp wind made her petticoats show. Eventually, Dante entered a hole embodied in a tree. Imelda was flabbergasted. She asked to herself,"What?"

But never the less, Imelda got down on her knees and tried to peek through the hole.

Unfortunately, the dirt gave in and Imelda ended up falling down the hole!

Imelda screamed as she plummeted down the seemingly endless hole. She barely had any time to see books, lamps, tables, and other knickknacks passing by her.

Soon enough, Imelda landed in a room with little, tiny doors.

Imelda rubbed her aching head before looking around in confusion.

Imelda said,"This had to be a dream."

The matriarch of the Rivera family then noticed a table with a tiny key and a box full of cookies that said EAT ME. Astonished, Imelda picked up the key and a cookie.

Imelda sighed in disbelief. Even though it was against her better judgment, Imelda ate the cookie. She yelped in surprise to find out that she was shrinking!

As soon as she was the size of a mouse, Imelda went to the nearest door and unlocked it. That proved to be a terrible mistake because water immediately poured into the room! It was only a matter of seconds until Imelda was completely underwater. With fierce determination, Imelda swam through the opened door and towards what seemed like a beach.

Once she hit shore, she saw Frida and her lookalikes having a caucus race. Imelda soon got caught up in another wave and "ended up" in the caucus race. Frida's lookalikes ran on top of Imelda as if she wasn't there. Frida said to Imelda,"No! You'll never get dry by lying on the sand like that! You have to run like the others!"

Imelda was about to protest when she saw Dante in the distance.

Frida and her lookalikes looked at Imelda in confusion as she ran to catch up with Dante.
