Tarrant had been sitting on the corner of the bed, staring at the window he had previously fallen through moments ago. He couldn't help but wonder if it was possible to fall back through the window to get back to Underland. The door creaked open behind him, making him turn around. Alice had stepped back into the room. She seemed a little anxious as she walked over to him, smiling brightly. Standing up, the Hatter returned her smile.

"Is everything alright?" he asked.

"Yes, everything is just fine. Revington is going to take care of things for me."

"Take care of things? Wait... Does that mean... you're coming with me?" Tarrant thought aloud.

"Yes. Yes, it does." she said hugging him gleefully.

He had never been happier in his life. The Hatter put his arms around Alice, returning her embrace.

"Are you ready to go, then?" he whispered into her ear.

Determined, she cut their embrace, catching his hand, and nodded furiously. The Hatter walked over to the window, Alice in tow. Smiling at her reassuringly, he placed her hand on the window along with his, and pushed, just ever so slightly. The same thing happened as before. The room seemed to shift under their feet. Then everything tilted and there a feeling of weightlessness, then falling.

Tarrant landed hard on his bottom on an all too familiar carpet. He glanced around, checking for Alice, who was still right next to him. Grabbing her hand once again, he helped her to her feet.

"Come on. You have to say hello to everyone."

Alice was silent as they walked, hand in hand, to the dining hall where the Hatter had left everyone.

Upon entering the room, everyone turned their heads.

"Alice!" they cried, standing and running to her for hugs, hand shakes, and greetings.

She returned every embrace and greeting with a fluorescent Cheshire grin.

"We've all missed you," Tarrant mumbled to her, "I'm glad you're home."

"It's good to be home," she hummed.

The End

I'm sorry this took me forever and a day to finish. I just lost all my will to write, you know?

I hope you all enjoyed this, because I sure did.

Thank you all for sticking with me and reviewing. (=

I hope to see you again in future stories.

It'd be fun to write a sequel, but I'm afraid it won't happen. Not after what happened with this where it took me overt a year to finish it. But if anyone else wants to write one, please do! Just let me know that you're going to write it, I'd love to read it.

Thank you all so much! 3
