Bitter Sweet Tea (Mad Hatter x Reader)

Chapter Eight

((I'm sorry that I haven't been updating here, I've been focusing on my story Second Chance but I'm working on this one again! Yay

The Hatter and I left the house, it was bright outside and overall really warm and nice. We start moving through a forest. It was oddly terrifying yet beautiful.

"You know, I never got your name," I tell him, I stood beside him.

"Tarrant, Tarrant Hightopp," The Hatter smiles at me.

A smile forms in my face, admiring how unusual yet beautiful his name was, "What a pretty name."

"Thank you!" He looked really happy that I told him that, he seemed to have had a pep in his step now. (Oh god I'm so sorry this was the only way I thought of phrasing that-)

A small smile forms on my face, I was happy he was happy. We keep on walking and talking, and I end up becoming closer with him. I tell him stories of Alice and I, and he tells his stories here in Wonderland. They were entertaining to say the least, but of course also unusual. After what I think was probably thirty or so minutes, we arrived at a large white castle. It was filed with beautiful trees and it looked like it was completely made out of a marble like material.

As we get closer, we of course see the crowd of people we had seen earlier at the Hatter's house, Alice, and two new faces. One was of a pale woman, she had light golden hair and wore a large white dress. The other seemed a bit unusual, she had an abnormally large head, big red hair, and a black and red dress.

We both entered the castle, and the White Queen greeted us, "Hello Y/N, Alice told me a bit about you."

"Oh, thank you!" I smile at Alice and she smiles back.

"This one just seems like a more annoying Alice," The Red Queen blurted out, a slightly disgusted expression on her face.

"Excuse me?" I snap back.

"Sister, please be nice to the guests," The White Queen smiles softly at her sister, she had a really pretty smile, which was oddly comforting.

"Fine," The other queen answered, crossing her arms.

"Well then," The Hatter interrupts, hoping to stop the commotion that was starting, "Shall we get going?"

The two queens nod, and the white queen signals us to follow her. We entered the castle, it was extremely beautiful, but it was so white that it almost tainted my eyes.

"Hey, little girl," The Red queen says pointing at me, "What do you think of Wonderland?"

"It's definitely not what I expected. Though I'm not disappointed," I say while smiling.

"At first, Y/N didn't think I was telling the truth about Wonderland," Alice adds while chuckling.

"It's just not very believable, you don't see talking rabbits every day for example," I say pointing at McTwisp.

"McTwisp is never an odd sight here," The White queen says.

"Thank you!" McTwisp says cheerfully.

We continue walking and they show me around the castle. It was extremely magnificent, and the entire time I was fascinated by how surreal everything was.

"And that's the end of the tour!" The White queen grins.

"I loved it," I thank the two queens.

"Y/N," The Hatter taps my shoulder, an awkward smile lands on his face, "Would you mind if I showed you something?"

"Of course."
