Hatter's POV

I heard sobbing from the other room and woke up. I rubbed my eyes awake and heard another sob. I walked out of the bed, curious to see what was happening. I walked toward where the sound came from and ended up in Lucy's room. When I fully realized that it was Lucy's room, my eyes widened in worry. I opened the door to see what was happening and immediately saw Lucy curled up in her bed crying. I walked up to her in concern and tried to shake her awake.

"Lucy, Lucy wake up!" I repeatedly said. Because I was so worried, I completely forgot about the whole Alice and Wonderland thing. After a minute, she woke up and saw me. She looked at me with red eyes and after a few seconds, more tears dropped from her eyes. I panicked and asked her what was wrong until she strongly hugged me. My eyes widened and looked down.

"Lucy? What's wrong?" I asked as she kept on crying in my chest. It took her a few minutes for her to calm down but when she did, she sniffled and talked with a tired voice.

"I had a dream where you and everybody at Fairy Tail... betrayed me. You were tired of putting up the whole Alice in Wonderland facade. Fairy Tail thought I didn't trust them. Everybody kept on leaving one by one, even you. I was so scared and alone." Lucy said as she cried even more. My eyes had pained expression and I tried soothing her.

"Don't worry Lucy, I would never leave you. I don't know about Fairy Tail, but they most likely will not do what they did in your dream. Even if it is just me, I'll be there with you no matter what. I won't ever betray you." I said.

"You really won't leave me?" Lucy said as she sniffled a few more times.

"Never," I said as I smiled at her. She smiled back and snuggled into my chest. We stayed like that for a few minutes until I felt her head bobbing a little bit.

"Are you sleepy?" I asked. She nodded her head as her eyes were half open half closed. I tucked her into bed, making sure she was warm and comfortable. I gently moved her bangs away from her eyes and smiled. I got up off the bed and when I was about to walk out the door, Lucy called to me.

"You're not gonna stay...?" She said in a quiet voice. I turned around and looked at her with widened eyes but then softened when I saw her flustered state. I smiled once again and walked over to her.

"Sure, if you want me to," I replied. She shyly nodded her head and scooched over to make room. I got into the bed and looked at her as she looked at me. We stayed like that for a little while in a soothing silence.

"Goodnight Lucy," I said as I saw her nodding off.

"Goodnight Itou," She replied in a sleepy voice. I closed my eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.

*time skip to morning*

I woke up at about 7 and felt something pressed up against me. I looked down and saw Alice cuddling up to me still asleep and my arm around her. I blushed as I looked at our position and noticed how Lucy snuggled up to me a little bit more. I gulped and tried to get my arm off her without waking her up. (The position they were in is in the Media except the people are still Alice and Hatter.)

I slowly got out of the bed and walked over to the doorway. I looked back to see if she was awake, which she wasn't. I gently closed the door behind me when I left the room and quickly headed to my room. When I went in and closed the door, I felt my heart pound in embarrassment. I told myself to get over it and went to go change into my usual attire.

After I changed, I went to do my daily morning routine. Once I finished, I headed downstairs to go eat breakfast and see what was on the mission request board. As I was looking, I saw Alice walk down the stairs of the guild. She looked at me and said good morning as I said good morning back. It seemed like she didn't realize I was in her room up until now and that made me breathe a sigh of relief.

More and more people showed up to the guild and were talking to each other and looking for missions. Over the time that our guild was there, my team and I went on a lot of missions and completed them easily. My team, or more like Alice's team, consisted of Alice, the spirits, and me. There were no damages and the customers were happy with how we got the job done. The magic council saw this and started giving us missions too. They were sometimes pretty hard but we always found a way and completed them in a short amount of time.

I saw Alice walk over to me with a paper in her hand. When she got over, I asked her what the mission was.

"It's a mission from the Magic Council again. But, they said that it's gonna be harder than the other ones we took. It's to destroy this band of dark guilds that formed. It seems like there are 20 and they are pretty powerful." She responded. I nodded and asked her if the spirits already knew and she responded with a nod. I looked at the paper and saw that it was in Oak Town (It's an actual city in Fairy Tail btw). I smiled and thought back to the time when Alice, Lilith, and I went to Oak town to relax for a bit. Alice looked over at me and smiled too, knowing what I was thinking about. We looked at each other and laughed with a playful gleam in our eyes.

Once we calmed down, we walked over to Lilith and told her that we were going on a mission. She nodded and wished us luck on our mission. We happily accepted it and got our stuff. We walked down the stairs and headed towards the doors. We gently pushed it open and felt the cool breeze slowly go past us. We looked at the city ahead of us and set out on our journey.
