AN: Hey guys! I have beeen speaking with the creator of a video on Youtube called, "Tarrant's Dark of the Night", and she has allowed me to make a FanFic out of it. Keep in mind because of what we have planned so far this stoy has a 98% chance of jumping up to a M rating. still, hope you enjoy!

It didn't matter how many times Alice Valerie Kingsley entered tis marvelous land; the sudden burst of color and the incomparable beauty of her Wonderland always stole her breath away. The flowers were in full bloom, the odd insects were flying; birds were singing and squawking, it was her world of wonder.

Alice took a small nibble of the "Eat Me" cake, or upulkuchen, and returned to her Right-Proper-Alice-Size as the Hatter called it. Once her dress was filled as it should be, she'd left her boots in the round hall, she ran as fast as she could, lifting her skirts so as not to trip over them.

The flowers gave loud shouts of joy at the sight of their returned champion; Alice smiled and nodded her head in greeting but didn't stop to chat. Excitement and adrenaline were pounding through her veins as she made her way through the Tugley Wood; after all, she was late for a Tea Party!

She leapt over tree branches and roots and climbed over large rock until she could hear the mad giggling and warbled music that accompanied the Mad Tea party, hosted by non other than the Mad Hatter himself.

She ran around the last bend in the over grown and uncared for path and hid behind a thick tree. Shyly she looked at the three, no four, guests. The Hatter sat in his usual chair at the head of the mismatched tables, animatedly telling a story, his precious hat askew on his orange curls. Mally sat at the top of a Christmas tree shaped treat rack and giggled madly at the Hatter. Thackery was at the Hatter's right about two seats away and staring at a brightly shining spoon and muttering, "My spoon, my precious, precious, precious spoon!" Repeatedly. And Chess sat at the end of the tables across from the Hatter, smiling at him - or perhaps it was really his hat - and stirring his tea, occasionally sipping it.

She smiled and readjusted her stance, a twig snapped beneath her foot as she did so and it echoed loudly in the clearing.

Every one stiffened and stopped talking except for Thackery. Alice sighed; there was no point in hiding now! She stepped out slowly from behind the tree until she was in full view of them all. Thackery stopped his muttering and pointed a shaky finger at her, his yes wide and askew as he stammered and stumbled for words.

"Do you have room for one more? I appear to be terribly late!" Alice said, smiling at her friends.

The Hatter stood from his seat and jumped onto the table, unlike last time his walk was not hurried, instead it was a full out run. He jumped off and stopped less than an inch from Alice. "Alice, Champion Alice!" He cried in joy and pulled her into a tight hug. "You're home, you're finally home Alice!" he shouted and lifted her up.

In the back round the others cackled until the Hatter finally set down the now dizzy Alice.

"Welcome back Alice!" Mally shouted in her squeaky voice as she ran to her. Alice used the table to steady herself and thanked her.

"Hello again little Alice!" Cheshire greeted from his seat, a wide smile on his face.

"Alice, you're late for your tea you naughty lass!" Thackery cackled and threw his tea cup at her. "Welcome back!" Alice barely managed to dodge the projectile in time. The Hatter came up to her and took her hand.

"Welcome Home, Alice!" He whispered and hugged her tightly and his lips softly brushed her cheek.

"I'm here to stay, Hatter."
