In Love With a Hatter

Part Twenty Six

The White Queen laughed at herself as everyone in the gardens peered into the dining room. They hadn't realised that the glass doors were see-through but not that much. Everyone, even Mally was happy to see the happy couple.

Speaking of the couple they had broken away and spotted the doors. Alice shrugged and kissed Tarrant again quickly. Then she dragged him out of the room.

"That was rude" Tarrant laughed as he and Alice ran along the corridors in the castle to his hat making room.

"I don't care if everyone can see this time" Alice replied. "You know when I came back the second time? Well I was in the middle of being proposed marriage to again! And that scared me, but being back I've regained my muchness and I have more confidence." She added to the Hatter's astonishment.

"It's good to know you said no" he answered.

"Oh no!" Alice said, in mock horror. "I forgot! I got married to him!!"

"What?!" the Hatter half screamed.

"Hatter, I'm joking." She said before bursting into laughter.

"You monster!" he said, blush appearing on his cheeks.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaahah!!!!!!!!" Alice laughed as she ran into his room.

They sat on the small sofa in the corner of the room and she sat on his lap again. Looking into his eyes she reminded him "I meant what I said, Hatter"

"Which part?" he asked worrying. She chuckled and replied "My six impossible things" she said in barely a whisper.

"What were they again?" he asked, teasingly.

"I remembered my friends and you" She started.

"Second?"

"I returned as if it was yesterday's trip"

"Third?"

"To have comfort, I must have good friends."

"So, true. Fourth?"

"Both Stayne and Iracebeth escaped and planned to ambush me."

"Grrr..."

"Hatter?"

"Fez...I'm fine. Fifth?"

"I had to become a Lady. Maybe that you're a Lord!"

"I have to wait sweetheart to officially become a Lord. Makes my name sound silly."

"Nonsense! I love your name!"

"Really?"

"Hatter, I love you. That doesn't exclude your name. I love everything about you."

"Thank you Alice."

"Is that all six?"

"I think there is one more."

"Oh yes...what was it again? Kidding, Hatter dearest."

"Phew!"

"I'm in love with a hatter."

"Not just any hatter is it?"

"No, he's the bravest and most gentle person I've ever met!"

"....."

"I'm talking about you silly!"

"Phew!"

"Your gunna drive me mad!"

"Ha-ha, I warned you, I AM mad! I'm the Mad Hatter for crying out loud!"

"No you're not. You're my mad hatter."

"I've never met anybody as kind as you Alice" the Hatter said sincerely as Alice hung tighter onto him.

"Thank you Tarrant."

"I know the answer to your riddle"

"Yaay!"

"Is it the letter E?"

"Yes!"

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?" he asked suddenly.

"I haven't the slightest idea" she said sneakily. He grinned and kissed her again. He could get used to being around her for the rest of his life.

"I love you, Tarrant"

"I love you too Alice, sweetheart."

That's the end of this story but I will most probably make a sequel to this tale, maybe they get married or something? If you have any extra ordinary plot ideas, I would be delighted to hear from you, just add them to your review!

Fairfarren all! : )
