Well, the final chapter. It might be horrible. Sorry if it is. Just try to enjoy it.

In seconds, Alex could feel herself falling from the sky. She braced herself for the hard, concrete floor, but never felt it. Instead, she was in somebody's arms. She looked up to see her brother's warm, deep blue eyes that were mostly covered by his long, brown hair.

"Thanks," she said, "but do you mind putting me down now?"

"Oh right," he said, setting her down.

"Where's dad?" she asked.

"He already left. Went to go tell mom what happened…well…more like how you found us and what happened. He didn't want us there just in case there was fighting.

"I see," she said.

When they did get home, they could tell everything went smoothly. Their parents were sitting at the kitchen table talking as if their father never left.

"HI mum," said Alex.

Their mother turned and sighed in relief.

"Alex, you're alright!" she said while hugging her.

"Mom, I'm fine," she said. "How long was I missing?"

"Missing? Honey, you weren't missing. The movie should have just ended a half hour ago."

"But…" she asked. Her eyes trailed over to her dad who gave her a wink. She smiled back.

"I'll see you after class mom," said Alex as she walked out the door. She had been back from Wonderland for two weeks now, and her life had basically gone back to normal. Wilson sent over all of Marc's records from his schools he attended in Wonderland so he was able to get a job in a University Lab as an assistant. Alex's dad got a job at a local grocery store that paid well, and Alex's martial arts classes were starting up again. All Alex could think about for those two weeks was Hatter. She really missed him and never did quite get to say good bye.

Class went well, she had Mr. Roberts as her sensei and she did very well. On her way out, she saw a very familiar person working the cash register. She had light blue eyes and long dark brown hair. Alex couldn't put her finger on it, but she was sure she had seen her very recently.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Hatter," said a voice.

"Hatter," whispered Alex. She looked at the woman again. She recognized the facial expressions, the nose, and the smile. One of her teachers was Hatter's mother. She could see it now. No wonder. Letting her instincts take charge, Alex walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Hatter," she said.

The woman turned around and smiled at her.

"Hello Alex," she said. "What's up?"

"Oh nothing much, I just had a question."

"Shoot."

"Do you…umm…have a son?"

Alice paused. She looked down and didn't say anything. Alex took this time to explain.

"I've seen him," she said.

Alice looked up, surprised.

"But how?" she asked. "Do you mean you were in Wonderland?"

Alex nodded.

"Is he okay?" she asked.

"He's fine, and safe. I just came back two weeks ago. He's working at your husband's tea shop."

Alice smiled.

"What's he like? Is he like his father?"

"He's the splitting image of him," she said, remembering seeing his picture at one time in her life, "but he has your facial expressions and nose."

"Thanks for telling me," she said. "I really appreciate it."

Alex walked out of the studio into the cold winter air. She shivered and took her gloves out of her bag. She looked them over. They were the gloves that Hatter gave her to were to cover her oyster mark. She sighed, remembering that wonderful memory. She really did miss him. Her mind was so busy in other places she didn't realize that she dropped a glove.

"Excuse me miss," said a voice from behind her. Alex froze. She knew that voice. She slowly turned around and gasped. It couldn't be. "I believe you dropped this."

The man had brown hair and warm brown eyes. He voice had a thick British accent and his smile set the butterflies off in her stomach. She reached out her hand and took her glove and put it on.

"Wait," he said.

He lifted up Alex's chin and looked her over. He stared into her eyes which gave her shivers.

"Alex, is that you?"

Alex smiled.

"Hello Hatter," she said.

He gave another smile, which, again set off the butterflies.

"You didn't say good bye," he said. "I thought…you didn't want to see me again."

"Well, that's not true," she said. "It wasn't entirely my fault. What are you doing in New York?"

"King Wilson let me go through the Looking Glass to see my parents," he said. "I was just on my way to see my mum when I saw you drop your glove and decided to give it back to you; wouldn't want you walking around in the cold with only one glove."

Alex smiled.

"Well, I'm glad your back," she said. "Now, come on, I'll take you to see your mom."

Alex started to turn, but Hatter put his hand on her arm to stop her. He turned her around and pressed his lips on hers. Alex smiled and returned it.

"Finally," she thought.

The two broke apart and looked at each other.

"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that," he said.

Well, that was short. Sorry. I know it's crappy, but I tried. Thanks for reading...or trying to read. I really appreciate the reviews. I have a few more stories in mind for this category (better stories mind you) but they won't be out for a while. Thanks for reading!
