Alice wondered through the garden, her mind occupied by what the caterpillar said.
'What does he mean I'm not the Alice? What is he talking about?' She thought to herself.
The young girl strolled aimlessly through the garden, it was quiet and peaceful and just perfect for Alice's mind to wonder. It had a bright blue sky with cut-clean emerald green grass and extraordinary flowers coming from left and right.
As she continued on her route, the flowers started to close, covering their petals for the night. Leaving young Alice covered by vivid green. However, one certain flower caught her eye as it hasn't closed. It was a Prussian blue flower, so unusual, so beautiful. This wasn't just your ordinary everyday flower, oh no, it took an appearance of water lily, only it wasn't a water lily and seemed to have of sort of glowing look to it. Alice approached this bloom at the end of the path towards the centre to get a better look before-
"Alice."
Alice cocked her head to the side slightly towards the voice to see a figure sat at a table with his right calf resting on his left knee, his white, slender fingers of his right hand held a white dainty coaster of which a similarly white cup half filled with tea, held with his left hand, and a slight grin on hid face.
"Hatter", Alice breathed, her mood instantly lightened. As The Hatter stood to give Alice a hug, his clothes smoothened out his form. He was wearing his gigantic top hat (as usual) with his frizzy ginger hair sticking out from beneath it, with a white blouse that shows underneath his dark-grey long-coat going down to his knees, a pair of three-quarter length trousers that shows his crazy socks and light-brown ankle boots.
He strode over to Alice and engulfed her into a big bear hug. After a minute or two, Hatter stepped back, stuck a hand out and-
"Shall we dance?"
Alice hesitated for a moment but finally took it. They started to waltz around the centre of the garden for a bit until Hatter decided to speak up,
"A penny for your thoughts, miss?"
After a bit of hesitation, Alice soon replied,
"People keep saying that I am Alice, but am I the Alice, am I the same Alice or…" she trailed off.
"Let me put it to you this way, if you're not the real Alice, why are you here?"
"I don't know, I was at a wedding and walked around for a bit, and saw a white rabbit with a clock, it looked familiar so I followed it and…well…here I am."
"Is the rabbit here though?"
"I'm not sure, I've seen him one or twice, but I don't know if any of this real Hatter."
"Well, if any of this is real or not Alice, how are you here with me now, how are you dancing with me now?" And with that Hatter stopped waltzing and let go of Alice's hands, took off his hat, bowed, stood back up, put his hat back on and walked away with a big grin on his face, leaving Alice to her thoughts…
Author's note:
Hi! This is my first fanfiction ever. It's based on the 2010 Alice in Wonderland, as you can tell. My sister did help me write this though so I won't take all the credit, you may know her as LittleBlueTabby and her fanfiction "The Experiments". It was her idea that I try and write a fanfiction of my own… so I did! And there it is. I will post more hopefully if I have time but yeah, this is my first one! Hope you liked it.
