A/N. Thought it would be funny to see Hatters reaction ;)

Discaimer: I do not own Alice...Syfy does.

"Oh, come on Hatter! It'll be fun!" Those were all the words it took to get him into a crowded movie theatre on a saturday evening to a movie he did not want to see; He could not say no to Alice.

Though one could suggest that it was his fault because it had been he to show the listings for Alice in Wonderland to her in the paper one morning while he was drinking his tea, and she getting ready for work. He instantly regretted it. What he thought would be a joke and something to laugh about instantly piqued Alice's attention.

"Why don't we go see it? It should be fun to see how much they screw it up!" She laughed.

"Why? Do we have to? I'll just get angry, and you'll laugh at me. Can't we just stay home and drink some tea instead?" Hatter had seen the previews for this movie, and knew what it was getting at. That, and he just hated fights with Alice. She would yell, slam doors, and even throw his beloved hat. All together an unpleasant experience for Hatter.

"Please! And it's by Tim Burton! You loved his other movies." She pleaded.

"But Sweeney Todd was about a bloke that killed people, and Nightmare was just brilliant. This one's pokin' about Wonderland! Who knows what this Burton could do?"

Alice pouted. "Please, Hatter? For me? I really want to see it!" And that was all it took, she won.

So for all his complaining, Hatter and Alice were sitting front-row center with 3D glasses on (which took a bit of explaining from Alice). He tried, for Alice's sake, to go in not expecting the worst. But, after 2 hours when the two left the theatre, Hatter seemed to be in a black cloud.

Alice tried to quiet her giggling, even though parts of it were appaling. "Hatter, come now, it wasn't that bad...?" Her reassurance fell to pieces and came out more as a question.

"Not that bad? Did you see him? I don't bloody look like that! Tell me I don't bloody look like that!" His accent came out think with defensiveness.

"Hatter, you know you don't look like that. You're much more...sexy. You don't look you've fallen into a clowns make-up bag. And hey, they screwed others up to. March is a lovable rabbit? Not so much." She wrapped her arms around him as they walked.

He calmed at her touch. "Yeah," he scoffed. "Did you see the head on the Queen? Bet the ol' Queen o' Hearts wouldn't be too pleased with that. And bet Jack wouldn't like the Knave." He laughed, picturing something akin to Jack's head exploding.

Alice was giggling again. "Now, are you glad we went? It was funny after all."

Hatter just looked at her. "No. But sitting next to you like that was nice. And that's another thing they left out."

"What?"

He leaned in close and whispered in her ear. "That Hatter gets the girl."

Reviews equal Love...but favourites are fun too :)
