A single drop of rain fell from the sky, landing on a certain hat. It rolled forward and clung to the brim for dear life. It was follow by another, and another, and another. Soon it was raining rather heavily in Underland. It was a certainly an odd thing for it to rain in Underland, but in a way it seemed fitting for the mood.

It had only been a few days since Alice had left, but still the Mad Hatter sat at the head of his table, seeming unable to do anything else. He sat, head tilting downwards, his green eyes watching the droplets of water grip at the brim of his hat. The March Hare had slithered under the table to shelter from the rain, whilst the Dormouse hopped inside an empty teapot.

Hatter sighed propping his feet up onto the table, crossing them over at the ankle. The cool drops of rain meant nothing. The White Queen being back in rule meant nothing. Anything meant nothing and nothing meant anything in his mind. Not now that Alice was gone.
