  Aɭice Lidell i will run to you, when my journey is over..  
Alice sighed. Of course he didn't know. He never knew the answers to his riddles it seemed, it drove her crazy.
Mad, almost. Mad, just like the Hatter.
Thinking of things with M? "How about Mad? Muddy. Makeup. Marshmellow..." She smiled a bit. "Marriage.." Oh.
"I should..probably get off to sleep, ya know? Dinner would be soon, I'm assuming. It'll only be a quick cat nap. I promise."
She avoided his eyes, not wanting to see the pain that wasn't hidden very deeply in them. Oh, no. It sat perfectly there...right on the surface. Only a fool would miss that.
Alice rushed up the stairs and climbed into a bed. Her bed...or so she was told. It still didn't feel right. She had a hard time falling asleep here. Not that she didn't feel safe, she just didn't feel.. well, right.
She closed her eyes. If she were Dorthy she'd click her heels three times... One...Two...Three...and when she opened them again she'd be at home, in her bed.
What was so great about home? There she was being forced to marry someone she didn't love...
Oh.
Suppose it was only a matter of time before her past collided with her new life.

Did she just sigh at him? That made him laugh. It had been the first time he had laughed out loud since Alice lost her memory. He remembered her first reaction was much more angry then that. He had a smile still on his face when she when on to M words. For the most part he enjoyed her list. And her beautiful smile. No matter how small it was. But her last M word went below the belt. He bit onto his tongue and wished she hadn't moved his hat. He needed the comforting touch.
"Sleep. Dinner. Sure."He had gone depressed again, plopping onto the couch. It wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world but it was better then making Alice sleep down here.
Maybe sleeping wasn't going to happen. His happy mood was gone. He didn't even have the nerve to contact the Queen. Sighing he put his fingers back to the bridge of his nose.
"How do I win the new Alice over? I don't even recall how I did it the first time." He said out loud to himself. It wasn't hard back then because she loved him back. At this point in time the slate was wiped clean and he had to work with a whole new board. He rubbed his fingers together as if the piece of hat was in between them. "Well she likes tea. But how do I turn that into a nice present? Who would give tea as a present in the first place?"Talking out loud helped him think. It was sort of working but no ideas were coming to him.
He sat with his eyes closed and thoughts running around behind his eye lids. He sat there long enough that he eventually fell asleep. Sleep brought him some peace. He saw the old Alice, and the way she looked at him proved that. It made him focus on his goal. Fix the love of his life. It seemed as if fragments of her memory were there. They just needed a little help to come to the front of her mind. ________________________________________________________________│█ ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛×.×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛××؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ◥ You're entirely bonkers.

Alice had tossed and turned, just as she had everytime she tried to sleep. When she awoke, she never felt rested. Probably because while she slept dreams haunted her.
It was like really old childhood memories were colliding with some other memories she couldn't quiet grasp. It was as if someone hit on her on the head and caused her amensia or something.
But the local doctor, or so he claimed he was the Wonderland doctor, had checked her out. No bumps or bruises. No contusions. She was fine, physically.
Still no sign of her memory.
About an hour or two had passed when she finally slid off the bed. Alice went to her closet, which was filled with bright colors of course. She dressed something in more comfortable than the outfit she was wearing before.
She wandered down the staircase, touching the hat on her way down. She found Hatter asleep on the couch, he was smiling. She hadn't seen that happen much, it was nice. He had a very.. adorable smile.
Alice went into the kitchen to begin cooking up their dinner. She was going to make some chicken and noodles. Yes, that was simple enough.
And it had to be simple, Alice was never a very good cook.
Her mind wandered away from her often, which made her lose track of time. She tended to allow things to burn...

Hatter was in his own prefect Wonderland. He was sleeping much better then Alice had. It was much needed sleep. He hadn't slept for a couple weeks. He drank lots of caffeinated tea to keep him up and moving. It was really taking a toll on him.
That must be why his dreams changed from good to bad so quickly. As Alice passed the couch his dreams went red. There were hearts all over. This startled Hatter so much he rolled over in his sleep and feel right onto the floor of his living room with a loud thump, jolting him out of his dreams."Curses." He said aloud. He could smell food cooking but his brain didn't connect it to the fact that Alice was awake and down stairs.
"I hate the color red. Hearts everywhere. Alice's eyes." He was ranting out loud to himself. Just blurting out the first thing that came to his tired mind. Hatter hadn't moved from his position on the floor. He just rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling.His brain didn't connect his dreams to the Red Queen. He was supposed to be smart but wasn't he? Not when he just woke up.
"There is so much to do in so little time." All of his sentences didn't connect. Any normal person,say impostor Alice, wouldn't understand what he was saying at all. Though people hardly ever did.
Speaking of Alice, Hatter remembered he had to write a letter to the White Queen and the doctor. Maybe they could make sense of the fact that Alice had put his hat on the banister out of habit.
Two letters....that made sense. That would be hard to write. If his speech was jumbled, his letters were worse. His hand did all the writing and it was a thoughtless act.When he thought of letters he thought of the alphabet. The letter M."I've been thinking of words starting with M."He said with a loud sigh. This was not happening the way he had planned. Why do normal people get to have weddings that were uninterrupted? This was Mad Hatter discrimination. ________________________________________________________________│█ ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛×.×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛××؛°”ک`”°؛× ×؛°”ک`”°؛× ◥ You're entirely bonkers.

Alice heard a thud and rushed into the living room. Hatter was on the floor, muttering about red and how there were so many things to do.
Wait, had he said her eyes were red?
Oh, surely he was dreaming and ... who knew. Honestly, you never could tell with the Hatter.
"Are you alright?" She was suddenly at his side, she brushed his bangs back, feeling his forehead. He did feel warm, but he wasn't sick. What was she doing?
She removed her hand quickly and looked at him curiously. She repeated, "Are you alright?" He could have hit his head pretty hard on the floor, especially since the wooden floor was anything but soft.

Being too busy with his rant, Hatter didn't realize Alice was listening to him until her hand was on his face. He looked at her eyes with a confused expression. Her eyes were that of his Alice if only for a moment. He hand was gone before he could say anything about it. His brows furrowed. "You look so pretty when you have my Alice's eyes."He said and sat up.
"I am quite alright. Happens all the time. Though I don't suppose you remember." Were those normal sentences? Indeed they were. They were actually understandable. His head didn't always play with him. Hatter didn't even notice. The words came out like all the rest of them.
He stared at her eyes for a moment longer before completely standing up. He needed some tea and food. His stomach growled loudly."Oh my. It must be tea time."He never carried a watch around with him, that was the white rabbit's job and even then you could never trust the time in Wonderland.
After dinner what would they do? Be awkward? Or she may wander off and leave Hatter home alone.
Oh wait she wanted stories. Well that presented a new problem. Which stories. Would he start from the time they met? Or maybe when she defeated the Red Queen. When telling stories wasn't the rule in the real world you need to start from the beginning?
Well then start from he beginning he shall. When they came to it. For now he was concentrating on the evil sounds his stomach was making insisting on being fed. Hatter smelled the air and it clicked."You have been making something?" His eyes widened for a second and he jumped over the couch and ran into the kitchen. When ever Alice cooked she burned it. The poor girl could burn water.

She was pretty when she had his Alice's eyes.
Oh.
Had that meant she wasn't pretty otherwise? And why was his Alice's eyes different from her own if they were the same person?
Were they the same person? She supposed, in body- Yes. But mind, obviously far from it.
Alice bit her bottom lip and stood up before he did. Ouch.
His words stung. But he was right, she didn't remember this happening all the time. Mostly because she didn't remember anything..
Tea time? Oh, right. He was always rambling on about tea. He must love it, very much. "Do you-" She started, but he was already rushing into the kitchen.
"Whats the matter? Yes, I was cooking and oh my!" There was smoke coming out of the oven where the chicken had been cooking. No fire, but it was definietly burning.
"Oh, gosh darnit!" Of course, this Alice didn't remember that she always burnt things. "It was fine just a moment ago.." She mumbled.

For a brief moment he felt guilty. She was obviously hurt by his words. But the guilt disappeared and was replaced with a sense of anger. Not towards Alice but towards the person that did this to her. She couldn't even remember that for months after beating the Red Queen she had to pick the Hatter up off the ground. When he had nightmares he rolled to his right. It was always his right side for reasons unknown to anyone.
He could smell the smoke coming out of the oven. Even before she saw it. He'd yanked open the door and pulled the pan out with his bare hands.
Not a good idea.
Hatter dropped the pan on the counter and rushed to get his hands under some cold water."Now how am I supposed to hold a tea cup. Stupid Hatter. Mad man. Think before you act."He said before mumbling a string of odd words that were supposed to be him swearing.
He hadn't heard Alice his hands hurt a lot. "Alice do you not even remember you are the worst cook in Wonderland.And I say that with as much love as my broken heart can muster."
He had to laugh,for the second time in a couple hours, as he remembered one time Alice had tried to help the White Queen's cooks. It was at their engagement party and she insisted on having something to do. Reluctantly they had let her take over the dessert. She ended up burning the cakes.
Being the good man he was, Hatter had eaten her burnt one to make her feel better.
"Maybe we could just have tea and stories."He said to her bringing himself back to the present.

The cold water wasn't helping at all. The water was just stinging his hand. Hatter winced as she grabbed his hands. She had always been good at taking care of him when he was injured.He had the urge to tell her he loved her. But he held it back, knowing it was awkward for her.
Hatter liked the feeling of their hands together. Even if it did sting like a bunch of bees."You are one good care giver."
He looked at her smile and watched it quickly disappear. He had said something wrong. He always messed things up."Well I sure hope not. I wouldn't want to repeat of our engagement party." He tried to cheer her up not realizing that it would probably make her feel bad.
He watched her eyes start to sink under water that filled her eyes. "Darling your eyes have gone for a swim again."Hatter followed her to the table and pulled a chair right up next to her.
"Lovely Alice just being you makes everything right."He wanted to give her a hug or kiss her but no. He sat there numbly. He couldn't think of anything that wouldn't make her uncomfortable."I will just go make the tea then. Tea warms the soul. Even a lost one."He mumbled before going to get the tea kettle. As he picked up the pot he groaned in pain. Ouch his hands.
Closing his eyes he sucked up the pain and thought about all of the things he did daily with his hands. Writing letters, riddles, holding tea cups. Without even thinking about it he had gone through the motions of making tea. He had done it so much that he hardly thought about it.
Remembering just how Alice liked it he quickly made her up a cup. He didn't know if this Alice would like the tea he made but the old one loved it. Quickly he mad his way back to the table and set down the cup.
"There you go love. Er- Alice."

Alice sniffled. Yes, her eyes were swimming. Why couldn't he just say 'Why are you crying?' or something. Wouldn't that be much simpler?
Tea warmed the soul, even a lost one. He wasn't going to comfort her. No, he was just going to go make his tea. Apparently, thats what he was best at. She'd probably manage to ruin that too, something as easy as making tea. (haha razz )
It didn't take long for the Hatter to hand her a cup of tea. He called her love, but quickly fixed it- Referring to her as Alice. She smiled softly, while sipping from the cup.
Her eyes still burned, what was she going to do?
"Why do you stick around...knowing that I may never be your Alice again?" She sighed, "Why not leave me?" She found herself not wanting him to go, but not exactly wanting him close either. She still saw him as a stranger. Yet, somehow his prescense was comforting.

Hatter's words always made sense in his mind. His brain was telling him he was saying,'you are crying again', but his mouth said something else. He didn't mean to be confusing. He bit his lip and continued the act of making tea. The simplicity of it was what Hatter liked the most. In a confusing world like Wonderland it was rare to come across something that could be done so easily. It also gave him something to focus on besides Alice's sniffling which hurt him as much as the burn on his hand.
After the tea was set on the table and they were both sipping at it Alice asked one of the hardest questions in Hatter's opinion. Not because he didn't know the answer but because he didn't know how to express that answer to her in such a way she would understand.
"Well..."He said lost in thought. The answer was there it just wasn't coming out."Let me start by saying I love you and I believe that you are my Alice." This was already turning out to be confusing. "What I mean is, your name is Alice, you think a lot like Alice, you look like Alice. So I believe with a little effort on my part I can get you to remember. You have already shown great progress." He was beginning to sound like the Wonderland doctor that came to see Alice every once and a while.
"May I ask you a rather blunt question?"He wondered. He didn't want her to feel awkward but he had to know what she was thinking. She had never actually expressed the answer in such a way Hatter could understand."Do you think you ever loved me? Do you think it is possible?" He knew she had loved him before this change but he wanted to get inside this Alice's head.

Alice thought for a moment, a longer moment than she intended. She supposed she could see where he was coming from on that. He wanted her to remember, but still saw somewhere deep inside his Alice. Which was both weird and romantic.
She had shown progress? Before she could ask how, he was asking if he could ask her something. She nodded for him to continue.
And when he did ask her, she felt her heart drop into the pit of her stomach. Did she think it was possible that she could have loved him?
Alice sat back in her seat and drank her tea slowly. Her mind went back and forth between everything and she, after a long pause, sighed heavily and sat forward again.
"I dunno. You're a sweet guy. You're cute..adorable even. Sure, your ramblings and well, words in general are insanely annoying sometimes... but I could see where maybe - Just maybe I could find that sort of adorable." She bit her lip, avoiding his eyes. "I'm also not sure of who I was exactly back then. I feel like I've changed since the... uhm, accident? But I don't know for sure since I have no recolection of who I was before."
Alice sighed. "It pains me to see you so sad, Hatter. Especially because I know its all my fault."
"If I could go back to being that girl with the click of some red glittery heels I would, just because you deserve that." She closed her eyes, "But I'm not quite sure I can do that...ever."

It didn't take a lot of courage on his end to ask her questions. Especially ones that were as important to him as this was but his least favorite part was what followed.There was silence as she sipped her tea and contemplated what he asked. Though he respected why there was silence, Hatter hated silence more then most things in life. He ended up arguing with himself inside his head just to pass the time. Make things louder and a little more bearable. When she finally did speak Hatter would have much preferred the silence.
He was cute and annoying. Well he knew that. But the maybe part about liking him was not what he was hoping for. She could have maybe liked him, maybe found him adorable.
Hatter never drank anything but tea and water. He never found the desire to drink anything but those things. But, this conversation was depressing him and that made him want a drink...or two. Hatters like him needed to be happy. Alcohol made people happy right? He used to watch the guards of the Red Queen complain about her evilness. Then they had a couple drinks and they were laughing and happy.
"What do shoes have to do with this." She more specifically pointed out they were red glittery ones. She seemed to have forgotten since he lived in Wonderland, he had no knowledge of movies in her world.
"I want to go to the bar." Wonderland did have a bar but he needed directions. As stated, he never had the desire to drink thus never been to the bar. It would be apparent to anyone he was depressed.
He needed to get into better clothes for this. Maybe those jeans Alice had had made for him and a nice button up shirt. Would my hat go with that outfit? He wondered but that was a stupid question even to ask himself, his hat went with anything.
He hopped up without a word and ran up the stairs to change being back before Alice had finished her tea. Not bothering to sit down he motioned to the door.
"Are you coming Miss Alice?" He didn't want to leave her out after all.
