HELLO TO ALL MY LOVELY PEOPLES! I'm back, with a PLAN! I've recently become obsessed with American Mcgee's Alice, because DARK WONDERLAND IS AWESOME! PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE IT CAN SUCK IT! Anyways, because I fell in love with the AlicexCheshire pairing, I got permission to do some translations on some of my favorite ficcies! YAYYYYY!

Disclaimer: I don't own Alice or any other GENIUS characters, those belong to dear ol' Lewis and Mcgee—this story isn't mine either, the original version belongs to 39medalla ^^

On with the story!

PAIN, TEARS AND YOUR LOVE

The rain fell in heavy droplets over Wonderland. Somehow it seemed to Alice as if the rain was letting her know that her Wonderland was sad too.

"Why do you cry?" She asked as she looked to the stormy gray skies.

"You do know the sky isn't going to respond" Said a voice. It was the voice of her dear and only friend, the Cheshire Cat.

"Tell me, Cheshire, why does it rain?" Alice asked. It was a stupid question, but the answer was one she had wanted to hear for a long time. She had been expecting a cryptic riddle from her friend as a response, but instead a soft hand placed upon the top of her head. Alice looked up to see a tall young man, with glowing amber eyes and grayish skin tone. From his right hear hung a familiar golden earring, revealing the man's identity as that of Cheshire in his true form. He sat next to her, and looking up towards the darkening clouds he replied:

"Because of your sadness. If you were raging there would be a storm, and if you felt lonely, it would snow. If you were happy then the sun would shine, but if you were in love…well, that is one of the things I don't know about this place."

"Have you ever been in love, Chesh?"

"Yes, and I still do. This woman, she gave me back one thing…"

"And what's that?" Green eyes stared at him full of curiosity.

"The want to live."

"And what is her name?"

Cheshire hesitated for a moment before answering,

"Her name is Alice Liddell. I've always wanted to tell her how much I love her, but I've always been afraid of what I felt. Until now…"

Alice was in shock, until little by little her conscious began to register a pair of soft lips over her own. Tears began to flow down her pale cheeks, leaving watery paths in their wake. As much as she tried not to cry, but Cheshire's next words made the walls of false strength around her heart crumble.

"The coward is not the one who cries, but the one who is afraid of crying."

So she cried, and kept on crying.

After a while Cheshire teleported them back to her house to dry off, where eventually she fell asleep. Cheshire watched as she smiled softly in her dreams, when he realized the rain had stopped. From outside, the laughter of little girls could be heard. As he looked through the window, he saw the girls playing amongst the flowers of a meadow, as their parents watched from the shade of the trees. Cheshire smiled, knowing he had found the last piece of the puzzle at last:

"When you are in love, there will be spring."

And with that he joined his love in the land of dreams, knowing that spring would last forever.
