Crashing Through the Glass

((A/N: I just saw Alice the other day, and that ending SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. She should have stayed! So, I have decided to fanfiction on it to my little heart's content! Enjoy!))
Disclaimer: I own a mad hatter Shirt, a mad hatter poster, and an Alice artbook. I do not own the movie, actors, or book the movie is based on. You no sue, I poor.
Gone. She was gone. Why was she gone? He did not know why, just that she was. Oh, how he had wanted to tell her how he really felt. But he would not get a chance to. No, not now, or ever. It was a sad day on a joyous occasion. Truly. He faked his way through the necessary pleasantries, then excused himself away, Back to his neverending tea party with the hare and Mally.
Mallymkun tried to cheer him up, obviously. But she could see that there was no cheering the melancholy milliner she shared the table with. It was evident on his clothes and in his eyes. He barely even seemed to care that the china was cracking or that there was a leaf stuck to his cheek. The madness had calmed, but it was replaced by something rather dark.
While Alice was making her life away from Underland, the residents of the place she had left behind were trying to rebuild under the good white queen. They fared well, wonderfully, in fact. The horrid castle of Iracebeth was torn down brick by brick, and even the twisted trees began to bud again. Soon everyone was once again happy and celebratory.
Minus the deposed Red Queen, of course. She was forced away from all of civilized Underland, made to live alone with her knave, Stayn. A few weeks after the White Queen's decree, his headless body was found afloat in a river leading away from the twisted woods of the west. It quickly became known to all little children that Iracebeth wandered towns late at night looking for naughty children to behead.
Chessur could be found in fewer places than he couldn't, McTwisp was forever afraid of being late, the Bandersnatch became known more as the cuddly pet of the current Queen than as the brutish enforcer of the previous, and Underland was once again peaceful.
Of course, everyone knows that the most boring of stories are those that end with "Happily ever after." Because we all know something had to come next. And it did.
