R&R / Much Love

Alice was back in Underland, she missed it terribly while she was in the above world. After saying fairfarren to her mother who cried but only wanted her daughter to be happy and with some struggle let her go, she was off to handle business matters. She left the trade company in Mr. Ascots hands after asking him to follow some wishes of her's and her fathers, he obliged wholeheartedly and gave her a fairfarren wishing her luck. His laughter still in her ears as she arrived to the rabbit's hole, this time knowing which way to fall and how much to drink and eat.

She walked out into the clearing and took a deep breath, how she missed this place, Underland felt more like home than London and she also missed her friends. Especially a particularly colorful mad hatter, her heart beat out her chest when she thought of him and she sighed. Gathering all her muchness she thought to herself "This can't wait, I must tell him. I must tell him that I Alice Kingsleigh is very much in love with Tarrant Hightopp." she rehearsed what she was going to say to him when she arrived at the windmill. It grew dark but she was certain it would be fine, the man barely ever slept and she was hopeful that he would be happy to see her no matter the time.

She noticed the light to the living room on and she didn't feel so terrible as she would if she were to wake him. She walked up the stairs and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. She heard a woman's laughter and a voice come closer to the door. It was Tarrant "But who else would be with him this late?" Alice thought to herself. Tarrant answered the door facing towards the mystery woman before turning face to face with Alice, or rather his chest to her face.

Alice furrowed her brow, before he was able to say anything she pushed him aside to see Mirana in the parlor looking towards her. "Umm, I'm sorry if I was interrupting something." Alice's face became flushed and she felt sick, her heart felt like it was being ripped out of her chest. She turned around "Alice, you're back!" The Hatter smiled but his smile soon turned into a frown as Alice turned her head towards him and sobbed "But I'm too late…" Tarrant reached toward her his eyes turning a deep blue "Aye, Alich what eva da ye mean?" his hand softly touched hers and Alice ran.

It hurt too much, his touch burned her and a wave of tears overtook her. "I was a fool to think he'd wait for me!" She scolded herself. She stopped by a tree to catch her breath and she could faintly hear her name in the distance. She decided to look at the time it was 11:30pm. "What else would the White Queen want with him at this hour? Unless they..." She clenched her heart as she felt a pain sear through it. "I have nothing, I left everything behind for him." She began to run again as the voice calling her name drew near. "If I can't have him, and I Won't go back to miserable London then…" she trailed off remembering the forgotten forest. A place the mad would go to forget everything and eventually themselves until they faded away.

Alice ran not looking back to the Scottish brogue accent that yelled for her to stop. She reached the forest entrance, Tarrant had caught up to her "Alhice…" he caught his breath. It began to rain and the cool drops ran down her face as she looked up and then back to Tarrant. Tarrant came closer to her and tried to touch her face but Alice's sadness turned to jealousy and fury. She knocked his hand away from her and when he caught her wrist in his hand he looked at her with teal eyes. "Alihce, lass why are ye so angry?" his ignorance infuriated her further and she punched him in the mouth. Tears began to burn her eyes again and she pushed him away. As he tried to gain his footing and grasp what had happened he slipped and fell looking up at a distraught Alice wiping away a blue drop of blood that trickled from his lip.

Alice flung her arms in the air crying "You know, I came back for you… But I was stupid… I was stupid to think that you loved me… that you loved me enough to wait for me…" she let out a high pitched sobb and turned away from him taking off once again into the woods.

Tarrant sat on the ground " But ma' der AlihceI Aye d' Luv ye… tis wa's a mis understandin' oh Aliche"

The White Queen arrived minutes later in a carriage "Hatter, what on earth is going on, why did Alice run away?" Mirana said concerned.

Tarrant was looking into the dark forest trying to figure out how to get Alice back he couldn't lose her again, if only she would have let him explain.

Hatter looked at Mirana his eyes a blue grey "Sh' thoug't ye an Ay ha' a romantic relation." Mirana gasped "Oh my, she doesn't know that Time and I are engaged. If it weren't for him worrying so much about me this would not have happened. He makes time go by faster when he does that. Which means it was later than when she arrived, which made it look bad Tarrant."

"How a'm Aye goin' to get her outta ther. My lass she'll be lost. I can't hav' 'er fade away, Aye need 'err."

Mirana's eyes flashed tenderly towards Tarrant she knew he was hurting without Alice and he hadn't been himself if anything a little more mad and not a lot of muchness. She knew her wedding to Time was arriving and they were planning for him to be Times best man. Mirana was sent to ask because Time was too nervous. After all, if it wasn't for Hatter and Alice he would never had met Mirana. She was hoping he wouldn't be too sad about the marrage and the fact that he was in love with Alice and wasn't able to make her stay with him. Before Alice arrived, he was talking about a way to find her in the above world.

"Well Tarrant, we don't have much time but if you can find her before her last memory fades she won't be lost, and if you can get her out of the forest in time her memories will be restored. There is a risk though, once in you too must get out before your last memory fades. Do you understand?" Tarrant nodded "Aye any'ting for me Alhice." Tarrent hopped out of the carriage into the rain "I'm comin' me luv. I wont lose ye again" and he took off running into the forest.

Alice ran she ran until her legs felt week and her dress became too heavy to carry. She stripped down to her petticoat she was glad it was thick enough to cover her bottom and she walked until she fell. She felt her memories slowly fading from when she was a child. As she watched her father slowly turn into a grey whisp her tears spilled harder until she laid in the rain in a trance.

Tarrant ran, he felt the forests grip on his memory and started to fight back. He reached out his hands to try and grab the memories of his family before they faded with no victory. He kept his mind on Alice she must be near to fading. His memories of when they first met started to turn into whisps of grey smoke. "Alice!" he screamed the rain fell harder barely drowning out his screams but Alice herd them. She laid as the tea party of her last visit slowly faded into smoke "Tarrant.." she whispered.

Tarrant went on until he saw her dress and ran faster her last memory was near because his memories of her and her last visit were beginning to come and slowly fade. Suddenly he saw her laying in a puddle reaching at the air of grey smoke. "Alice.." he breathed. He grabbed her as Alice looked up at him "Tarrant, of all the memories please…please don't leave me…" She thought he was a memory as she reached for his face. She was so cold she began to fall in and out of consciousness. "Aye my Alice, you can't leave me, I will never leave you." Alice smiled before she fell unconscious. Tarrant picked her up and ran fighting through the pain and weight of gis muscles. He ran until he saw the clearing and the memory of her laying in the forest began to fade he held Alice tighter. "Not like this, I haven't even told you how much you mean to me!" Alice stirred "Tarrant! TARRANT! DON'T LEAVE ME!" she screamed as he ran and fell out of the entrance into the clearing.

Tarrant saw The White Queen, Time, Thackeray, Mallymkun, Chessur, Absolem purched on Nivin's shoulder. He did it, he remembered all of them his memories were restored. He just wish he wasn't too late for Alice. He laid in the dirt a second trying to gather his energy "Alice…" he looked over at her face caked with dirt her hair was matted with mud and leaves. To him she still looked beautiful all disheveled. Then reality hit him, "Alice!" he rolled over and sat up grabbing her limp body pulling her to his chest. His eyes turned grey and tears began to overtake him. He sobbed, he sobbed so hard he felt it in his muscles. "Alice, don't leave me, please, I need you!"

Mirana and Time approached him and Mirana placed a hand on his back. She too started to cry and everyone else had tears in their eyes. "Tarrant…" she whispered. He turned towards her his eyes flashing multiple shades of color his emotions were all over the place "This is my fault! If only I would have told her how I felt before she left! Now she may never remember me or…" he started to sob again " Or she will never wake up." Time stood next to Mirana giving her a reassuring look, he knelt next to him and Alice "Tarrant, we must get her back to the castle and you need rest." Tarrant looked to Time " You must know, is she going to be okay?" Time looked at him and it seemed as everything slowed down. Tarrant's eyes were orange with blue specks showing anger and sadness as he spoke "How do you not know?" Time looked at Alice "When you enter the forgotten forest it alters multiple time lines. There is no way to get back on time, until it catches up again. It is a confusing and rare thing.." Mirana placed a hand on her fiance's shoulder "Tarrant lets get her back to the castle." He held her tighter "I will not leave her again."

Alice laid in the four poster bed, her memories slowly coming back. Tarant hadn't left her side in the three days she slept motionless. He began to doze off after talking to her and begging her to come back to him.

Alice recollected her memories and she heard a whisper "Come back to me Alice." she heard him it was Tarrant, "I'm coming!" she whispered and she began to run into the black not able to see where she was going. "Tarrant!" she yelled "Tarrant where are you? Tarrant!" she screamed until she saw a light and began to run towards it. She shot up in the bed reaching her hands in front of her sweating and screaming in a horse voice "TARRANT! I'M HERE! DON'T LEAVE ME! Her eyes shot open and she was blinded by a bright light. Tarrant quickly shot up out of his chair "Alice!" tears came back to his eyes and he shuddered grabbing her and pulling her towards him. "Alice, your back, your back!" then Mirana and Time and the rest of everyone burst through the door "Alice is awake!" Chessur appeared next to her nuzzling under her hand purring. Everyone began hugging and crying with joy and happiness.

Tarrant pulled Alice back and held her before him " I think you must be madder than I am you stupid girl! Don't you ever do that to me! I thought I lost you for good." Alice looked at everyone in the room and Mirana came and sat on the bed next to her. Then Alice remembered what happened, feeling embarrassed of her actions when she first saw the two " I... I am terribly sorry… I was just so angry and upset. "But…" she trailed off " I would never want to forget you. Even if... " tears started brimming in her eyes as her heart started to ache again "I should be happy for you two…" Mirana smiled "Alice dear, Hatter and I… we're… we're not together. Time and I, we're engaged." Alice's heart stopped and she gasped feeling even more stupid. Mirana explained why it was so late when she arrived at Tarrant's house "Time was nervous and when he's nervous time goes by faster than normal. I came to ask Tarrant to be his best man because Time was unsure he would say yes for Tarrant and Time was not on good terms when you visited last."

Alice looked at Time and Mirana and up to Tarrant "I...I am so sorry Tarrant." He grabbed her and held her to him as she sobbed into his waistcoat. "You must know Tarrant, you must know…" she said pulling away from him looking into his big green eyes. Tarrant smiled down at her kneeling beside the bed and taking her hands into his. "My dear Alice, I know everything. Now, you must know Alice Kingsleigh, I Tarrant Hightopp am absolutely and undyingly in love with you! Alice if I lost you I would have walked into those woods as well. For everyone as my witness I belong to you my heart is yours forever. I will be yours to do as you please."
