Strange Weather
A/N: This is the first fanfic I've written in years, based on the AiW movie, I don't own the characters or the world I just had to write something as the film was full of possible story ideas. It features Alice going back to London and the Hatter wondering what could have been. Eventually Alice/Hatter in a literal sense but for the moment nothing too fluffy. It will feature angst and some form of depressed emotions, but hopefully sweet in the end .It isn't great I like writing my own poetry, stories and scripts rather than using others' characters but please R&R.
Strange weather hung over the head of Underland, casting ominous shadows on everything that lay beneath but somewhere in the heavens something was changing, the clouds started to lighten they had gotten rid of the heavy load they were carrying. A small beam of sunlight shone through.
"You could stay…." The Hatter said as he looked at Alice pleadingly.
Alice sighed deeply and looked up into his big, green eyes, their colour seemed to change getting deeper and full of sadness, Alice wished she could do what her heart told her but her head told her she had to be an adult.
"I will come back," she said quietly.
The Hatter shook his head slightly, "you won't remember us," he said.
Alice looked around at those she'd come close to once again, the March Hare seemed lost in playing with his spoon and the White Queen smiled and nodded at her.
"I will…I promise," Alice said.
The Hatter leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Fairfarren Alice,"
As he started to lean back from her he couldn't help but place his arms loosely around her and then pull her into a tight embrace, she returned the gesture and as she hugged him quickly she let out a sigh. The Hatter let go off Alice all of a sudden and looked at the ground, a tear dropped onto Alice's shoes.
"Hatter," Alice said softly as she cupped his chin delicately with her small, pale hands.
He looked into her eyes and gave a slight smile, Alice pulled the vial of Jabborwock blood to her lips and drunk just a small amount so she had enough for the future. The Hatter suddenly leaned in and kissed her quickly on the lips, Alice was caught off guard but for a few moments she let him kiss her and moved her lips back to return the kiss. Behind them the Cheshire cat appeared a huge grin spread across his face; he then spun around in the air and rubbed his paws together.
Alice pulled back quickly almost hitting Chess, colour sprung to her cheeks and she shook her head in embarrassment, the Hatter smiled and tilted his hat slightly as he bowed and before Alice could say goodbye in return his smile was fading, the world she'd been accustomed to faded from life…she awoke again in London.
The Hatter readjusted his hat and then turned and started to walk away, the frivolities behind him continued, the noise getting louder, the hatter put as much space between them and him as he could, he needed time to compose himself, she was gone.
