Time was unknown in Underland. Yes, people died, or the odd creatures, but how…well I don't really know except they are some how killed. Back to the point…yet there were creatures of Underland who said others were late like our dear Nivens McTwisp the White Rabbit, Tarrant Hightopp the Mad Hatter, and Thackery Earwicket the March Hare. Then events were given times such by Irace Beth of Crims the Red Queen and her sister Mirana of Marmoreal the White Queen. Also, there is the knowledge that time and destiny are already written, on a piece of long parchment paper too that seemed to never really end. So was time infinite? Or was time relativity?

Tarrant had started to think of time itself that not even his tea will pull him away from such thoughts. He thought of how he grew up, or even if he was child once. He thought of when he was nicknamed and how that nickname stuck. He thought and questioned when he became mad. Those kind of thoughts (which should not really be thought about without fear of going nuts) he have never had before and now plagued him at no end. He was surely going madder (told ya so).

A long time ago as the Hatter, he was very happy to make hats. But now after Alice had left whatever he made he would destroy, not satisfied with the outcome and hating each item. After destroying he would go into his Scottish accent and mumble angrily happily until some shouted out 'Hatter!'. He would then like always apologize and wonder why he had gone made at the first place. But time passed by, relative time, went by he seemed to become madder or completely off his bonkers. Not even shouting his name would bring the Mad Hatter from his…well his madness.

Now, presently, now time, whatever…at the tea table Earwicket (March Hare), Mallymkun (Dormouse), and Cheshire Cat dare not drink the tea on the table. Mad Hatter sat in his usual seat but was mumbling angrily in his Scottish accent. Getting tea would set off a loud outburst from the Mad Hatter.

"Want to see something interesting?" Cheshire Cat questioned quietly.

"Is…is it tea?" Hare asked, one eye twitching from the lack of tea he have had during Alice's departure. Mallymkun took out her little sword and poked the Hare.

"No!" Mallymkun shouted.

"No! No what?! Annoy ye all are, annoying yes indeed!" Tarrant spat out and then again he went back to his mumbling.

"Look," Cheshire Cat whispered to his two companions. He disappeared from their side and his head reappeared close the Mad Hatter's head. "Alice." Mad Hatter angrily took a swing at the head of Cheshire Cat who again disappeared. He reappeared back to his original spot next to March Hare.

"Alice! She lied. She lied! Lied! She who never came back. Why does she not come ask I?! Why does she not come back to me?" Mad Hatter whispered the last sentence sadly. He became silent and spoke no more, not even mumbling.

"Hatter?" Mallymkun questioned as she moved through the plates and cups to her friend. Tarrant raised his head to show green eyes with small tiny specks of lavender.

"Mallymkun, how could she go? Why not stay?" Mad Hatter said as he stood up with a slumped back and silent tears on his face. He walked to his house and slammed the door shut, his angry self once more released that the group outside heard the shout of a mad man.

"Soon not even the mention of our Alice will bring him back," Cheshire Cat said without a smile on his face.

"She is late!" another voice shouted. The three turned to see Nivans hopping toward them.

"W-Who?" Hare shouted as he happily now grabbed a cup and poured tea into it.

"Alice! Alice is late," Nivans said. "White Queen said we must bring the champion back, back to Underland."

"But how?" Cheshire Cat asked. "I have spoken to Absolem who says that Alice was on a voyage on the world above to China on a ship called 'Wonder'. He knows of no holes there to grab her."

"Absolem can go and get her," Mallymkun said as she took a sip of her own tea. "Call her back home he can. He has wings."

"I thought you didn't like her?" Cheshire Cat questioned the Dormouse.

"I don't but what choice do we have, the Hatter is Madder, he is the Madder Hatter now. We must bring him back," Mallymkun said.

"Well, I just have come from Absolem, he knows of a mirror," Nivans said. "A mirror that will take us to those we need but to go through this mirror there must be three willing to go. I have already placed myself in that duty and so has Absolem. We need one more."

"I can't, I will scare people. How many have seen a cat smile?" Cheshire Cat asked with a large smile and then disappeared.

"I need…need tea!" Earwicket shouted as he threw a cup at a tree and giggling manically.

"I shall," Mallymkun said. "I will go with Absolem and you for Alice. When do we leave?"

"Now," Nivans said as he looked to his watch.

"Really?" Mallymkun asked, startled by the urgency. "Alright then."
