His Alice

"You could stay"

Alice had just slayed the Jabberwocky and the Red Queen was banished on the outer lands of Wonderland. Whilst everyone waited the White Queen collected the blood of the jabberwocky ready for Alice to return to her world and some day come back or maybe not. The white Queen passes the blood of the Jabberwocky and hands it over to Alice. She opens up the cap of the small bottle and looks at it. Hatter walks up to her with a small smile upon his lips. "You could stay" he whispered loud enough for Alice to here. Alice smiles and turns around to look at Hatter. "What a crazy idea a mad crazy idea, but I have to go. I have questions to answer, things I want to do." Alice sighs. Hatter frowns then smiles. "If you wish it" he smiled. "I'll miss you" she smiled. "As will I my dear" Hatter replies. "Hatter, why is a Rave like a writing desk? she asked. "I haven't had the slightest idea" he smiles. She smiles back. He puller her in for a hug before whispering. "Farefarren Alice" he pulls back and gives her a small smile. Alice looks at the small bottle and holds it to her lips, then she thinks. "What is there back at home other than being pressured to be married and pop out 12 children? she things then closes the cap and smiles. "You know what?" She spoke. Hatter looks up giving her a small smile. "I think, I'm going to stay." she sighs. "Wait really? his smiled brighten which Alice adored so much. 

"Yes, I don't see why I should return on to be forced to marry someone I don't love." she smiles. "Do you here this? Alice is going to stay with us." Hatter shouts with joy and picks Alice up and spins her around. Alice squeals before Hatter places her back down. "Oh Alice, we are going to have so much fun together." he smiled. "I have a wonderful feeling we will." she smiled. 

The rest of her Wonderland friends smile at her and cheer for her. "Yay! they cheered. "Lets go celebrate with tea! the March hare shouts jumping up and down. "What a splendid idea! But we need to decide where Alice will stay. The White Queen spoke. "She could stay with me...Hatter smiled. "Really? I won't disturb you work will I? she fiddles with her fingers. He grabs her hands. "Not at all my dear now come with me so we can make you feel at home." he smiled. Alice nodded and followed Hatter to his house. She gasped at the hat shaped house. OF course it was a hat! she thought. She giggles to herself. "What are you laughing at? Hatter looks over his shoulder? "Just thinking how all this time that I had not imagined what your house looked like and of course it's a hat. It's...so you." Alice smiled. 

"Oh of course! I'm a Hatter after all." he smiles. "You are indeed." she replies. Hatter walks down his path and opens his front door and Alice is welcomed to the smell of freshly brewed tea and cakes. She sighs in satisfaction. "Your house smells so nice." she smiled. "Oh yes! that' s tea. I always have tea on the go." he says. He shows her around his house and the spare room she could stay in, it has a single bed with blue bedding, completed by some drawers and a wardrobe and clock on the wall. Alice smiles at the room. It's an Alice size room. She walks over to the bed and falls back on it letting out a sigh. Hatter walks over and sits on the edge of the bed. "Why did you stay?" he asked. "Oh, well because there's nothing back home really and I don't want to be forced into becoming a wife to an unfaithful husband and pop out children just to carry on his line. She says. "Are you important in your world? she asked. "I-uhm ye I guess. My father owns a company with another that go by the name Ascots and they wanted marry their sun Hamish Ascot the next lord in line and he did not have the best of looks and really poor manners. 

"Ah I see your picky with men." he chuckles. "I am, all the men up there are the same thirsty for the body of a woman to impregnate over and over again, I mean a lot of woman have died due to so many child births." she sighs. "That's strange, here we choose to court a woman we fall in love with and we let the woman decide if they want to be court by a man and the Wonderland men respect that a woman owns her own body and wishes to have children on her own terms." Hatter says. "You Wonderland men are so much more polite and well mannered. Can I ask, have you ever been with someone before?" Alice asked. Hatter paused. "No, I have never. Every woman that looked at me saw me as a just a "Mad man". he air quotes. "I don't think your a mad man. Well you are but that's the best part about you. Your The Mad Hatter, much I see much more than just madness. I see passion, love, a friend people can rely on. I don't see why woman judge you so quickly without getting to know how sweet you really are." she says. "Well only you would see me as that because you just as mad." Hatter chuckled. "I guess I must be, but I don't mind being mad if it means I see you for who you are a Mad man or not." she smiled. 

"Thank you." he smiled at her. Alice smiled back and puts her hand on his shoulder. "Don't forget this, your are My Mad Hatter." she smiled. "And you are my Alice and always will be." he chuckles before pulling her in for a warm embrace. "Since you are staying here, and you have such a lovely figure. I would very much like to make you some dresses." he says. "Really, are you sure? she asked. "Of course, think of it as a welcome gift." he smiled. "Alright then." she replied.
