With a groan, the Doctor placed a hand on his head at sat up straight. He slowly came back to conscious as the man looked around. The TARDIS was okay and normal again. The control panel, seats, the round stuff and...a body?

The Doctor widened his eyes as he ran towards the Mad Hatter. "Of course!" He shouted as he realised what had happened.

A childish man had sneaked into the TARDIS and pushed a button.

As he rolled his eyes, the Doctor began to shake the Mad Hatter to wake him up. Seconds later, he did. The man sat up and looked at the Doctor with a grin on his face. "Hello, I'm the Mad Hatter".

"I know" The Doctor answered with a frown.

"You do? I guess that I get more and more famous each day" The Mad Hatter laughed.

"Sure".

"So, Alice" he began and scanned The Doctor. "Why did you come to wonderland?"

"I'm no-I'm not Alice"

"I know you're not" The Mad Hatter stood up and glared at him. "But the question is why you're pretending to be".

"I'm not pretending,alright?" The Doctor said, clearly annoyed that the man doesn't understand what he's saying.

"I'm The Doctor, and now you're in my ship and you've done something with it".

The Mad Hatter raised his eyebrows as if he didn't believe him. "This certainly doesn't look like a ship" and then he giggled. "You're even madder than I thought".

"What?"

"I said-" The Mad Hatter began but got interrupted by The Doctor.

"For starters, madder is not even a word! Secondly, concentrate, alright?!" He rolled his eyes but didn't say anything else, it wasn't worth it. Instead, he walked over to the control panel and pulled out a screen. "What happened to you beautiful?" He asked almost with a whisper.

"Oh me?" The Mad Hatter began. "I wonder that everyday". He laughed and fluffed his bright orange hair.

"I'm sure you do" The Doctor answered and turned his attention back to the TARDIS. Something must have gone wrong with it, but he just couldn't figure out what.

With a small frown, and his hands gripping tightly around the sonic screwdriver the Doctor thought hard on what could have happened.

He turned his head and looked at the Mad Hatter. "What'd you do with it?"

The man gasped "Me?" He answered with an innocent voice and placed a hand on his chest. "Why'd you think it was me?"

"Well it's obvious isn't it? You're the only one here besides me. Also, I saw you push something".

"Why don't you flick with the weird mechanism of yours to see what happened?"

The Doctor suddenly widened his eyes. "Brilliant!" He shouted and leaned in to kiss the man's forehead and then ran towards the control panel. Shortly after, the Mad Hatter brushed away the germs from the Doctor and and then rubbed it off on his jacket. Disgusting.

The Doctor pushed the button to his sonic screwdriver which made it make a familiar noise. He pointed the screwdriver towards the control panel and then placed next to his ear.

"Of course! Why didn't I think of that?"

"Why are you taking to yourself?" The Mad Hatter wondered. "Have you gone mad?"

"No, look! You pushed the button a little too hard which made it get stuck. We've traveled to the end of the universe!"

"That doesn't sound very nice".

"I suppose not" the Doctor answered and ran through the door. As he opened the door he looked behind him.

"Aren't you coming?"

"Well, if it makes you happy" The Mad Hatter muttered and followed him with slow and heavy elephant steps.

As the two men walked out, they met nothing but darkness. The stars had gone out, as well as the moon and the sun. The ground was covered with dust and garbage.

"Ah, we're in a dump!" The Doctor exclaimed as he looked around. It seem to go for several miles.

"I can see that" The Mad Hatter answered with sass. "But this is not just regular trash" the man sighed with delight. "See how much beautiful and strange things there is!" He bent down to pick up a soggy shoe.

"I-I wouldn't touch that" The Doctor said but it was too late. The Mad Hatter had already picked it up and looked stunned. Never had he seen such beautiful shoe. Suddenly he tossed that away as he had noticed something that was even more curious. A hat, and not just a regular hat. It was a black one covered with a gold ribbon. "It's perfect!" He shouted as he tried it on. With a smirk, he turned around to face The Doctor and suddenly made some poses.

"How do I look?"

The Doctor's mouth fell open. Should he really tell the truth? That he looked completely mad? With his bright orange hair and green eyes, together with a white - painted face, large hairy eybrows and a black hat. He looked like he could be a clown from a circus.

"I wonder which planet this is" The Doctor said, changing the subject. He began to walk around to find a form of life but he found nothing. They were completely alone in the middle of nothing.

"Alice" The Mad Hatter suddenly said and turned his attention to The Doctor.

"I'm not Alice!"

"Yeah,yeah whatever you say" He answered with a grin. "Could you help me with something?"

The Doctor frowned but kept his mouth shut. Instead, he found himself nodding but The Mad Hatter didn't seem to notice. "Yes?!" He suddenly exclaimed which made The Mad Hatter jump.

"Geez, you don't have to shout, I'm standing right in front of you". The Doctor just rolled his eyes but let the man speak.

"Could you help me find the real Alice?"
