It was a cloudy day in Underland, Alice had just arrived down the rabbit hole. She would never see that hole again, she decided to stay here forever. She hadn't told anyone, it was going to be a surprise for Tarrants birthday. She approached the table, there were balloons and brightly coloured fabrics hanging from the trees. It was beautifully decorated, but nobody was there. She searched for her friends all over the garden. She decided to check in the cottage, perhaps Tarrant would be in there. She entered the cottage, as she suspected their he was bustling around. He was picking up and putting down fabrics, he was muttering words to himself Alice couldn't make out. He seemed to be looking for something, she glanced around to see if she could find it. His eyes were becoming more orange than green, he fiercely tossed hats across the and muttered louder. She could hear hints of his Scottish brogue. She decided it had gone on enough, she coughed a little. He madly turned to her, eyes a blaze, still in the angry state of mind. Then the yellow melted from his eyes and they were the dazzling, happy green again. He gently bit his bottom lip, he approached her. She smiled at him and he smiled back. In one swift movement she had jumped into a hug.

"Alice you came back," his voice was joyous to her ears.

"Yes, and I am never leaving again." she nuzzled her head deeper into his chest.

She released him from her grasp, she looked around his work shop. Fabrics scattered, hats tossed, models tipped over, whatever he had been looking for , it must have been been very important.

"Tarrant, what were you searching for?" this seemed to have shocked him.

His face had a puzzled look across it, he looked around. Then his came back to Alice and he smiled.

" I don't seem to remember," he giggled.

"Oh Tarrant, I love you" she pulled him into a kiss.

He was in shock for a little while, but once he realized what was going on he surrendered to her. Her hands moved to his neck, he was warm to the touch. His gentle hands moved to her waist. He picked her up slowly and she hooked her legs on to his waist. He moved through the room to his bedroom door on the other side.

"Tarrant you have guests out in the garden, that will be arriving any minute. They will be expecting you." she pulled her lips from his.

"Its my birthday and I am getting my present, they can wait." he seductively smiled, nudging open the door.
