You can't change the future (?)...

'OK, Ladies, around the side to the party in the grounds. Everyone welcome'.

Though seems that not quite everyone is welcome...

'Dodo? Mock Turtle? You're dead! I saw you get killed!' The Dodo looked at her with sad eyes. 'Oh dear. Probably not happened yet. Time likes to play games with people you know. He has a weird sense of humour...' Alice was a bit confused but the Dodo continued. 'Not that it matters really. The past or future can take care of themselves. You know, we're quite hungry and came to this party to eat . And there's no food.'

There was a sudden rush of wings as the Griffen landed. 'No food? Hungry? Can't have that. I must have you both round for dinner. Meet me at the beach - I'll fly there now and get things ready.'

With that he flew off. Alice turned to the two creatures to warn them...

But the air rang out with a earshattering wail as the Banshee started to scream. A deranged man, obviously one of the Queen's 'guests' from the asylum, was about to shoot himself!

As the shot rang out everyone rushed to the scene while the Banshee continued with a screaming dirge.

And as they all stood there the Dodo and Mock Turtle quietly left the group.

Of course, the Red Queen had her say... She screamed 'Of with his head' to no one in particular...

Unnoticed by Alice the dodo and mock turtle dashed off to the beach...
