Eh I've decided to just edit all the chapters and repost them on the original story. To much work to go through and re-post everything. :D
SO~ This is the same story as before. Just edited. A lot. And if you haven't read it yet, well then, this is a completely new story! :]
So yeah.. this is the same story, minus the ANs, and that stuff + fixed grammar, and a tightened up plot.
With the other version, I was just playing it by ear. With this one: I've got it ALL mapped out. So Enjoy~
Much better ending. I wished she had stayed! That would have been awesome! And her and Hatter had been together. I want this to be the ending!
I just saw the movie, and I wanted this to be the ending:
Alice stared at the purple liquid in the small tube. This was her ticket home. This is how to get back to the 'Above Land'; back to her own time.
"You can stay." The Hatter whispered in her ear, having sneaked up from behind.
It's true, she thought to herself while keeping her eyes fixed on the liquid, If I stay, I can live forever with all my friends.
She turned and looked up at him, feeling that tugging in her heart again- what is this?
"I can.." She said slowly. "But..." His smile dropped. "What would that mean?"
"It would mean, you can live forever." He told her, once again bringing that crazy smile to light up his face.
"Yes.. But, forever is an awfully long time." What, exactly, was she digging for? She already knew her answer. Regardless of what he said.
"Yes, I suppose that is true, but we' as well, will be with you forever. We will never cease to amuse you. And with the Red Queen gone, Underland is sure to return to it's prime."
"Well, let's assume I grow bored here. I would've seen to much to return back to my time. Then I'd be bored both here, and there."
"Hmm, true." He replied, thoughtfully. "But if you return you'd have to get married to some pig-of-a-man, and grow old." He told her with a shake of his finger, inwardly cringing at the thought of her getting married.
"Well, I don't want to marry some snobby noble. Or grow old.." She turned her head to see what the others thought of her staying. But, upon doing so, she found that it was only The Hatter, the Jabberwocky's, and herself still standing on the large chess bored just previously used as a battle-field. "But what would it mean for me and you?" She finally whispered, looking down at her feet.
"You can keep me company as I make my hats, and have tea with me and Thack." His feet slowly began to gravitate towards her. He hadn't have noticed if it weren't for the fact that he could feel her breath on his neck.
"Hatter," She whispered, before pressing her lips up into his. The bottle dropped out of her grasp -breaking- as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He gripped her hips and puled her tightly against him. He had wanted to do this since he saw her again after all these years. He had not felt this way for her when she was just a wee-little tyke, but when he saw how much she had grown - blossomed- he could not help but feel something in the dark recesses of his heart for her. Something he had not felt for years now.
She pulled away and looked up into his emerald green eyes. "I am most definitely staying." She told him with a smile as he pressed their lips together a second, third, fourth time.
"I love you, you Mad, Mad Hatter- Tarrant Hightop."
"As I love you, Alice Kingslaigh."
The time had soon come that they had to return to the White Queens castle. And return, they did. Hand in hand.
People clapped upon seeing Alice, the Queens champion.
"You, Alice, are late for tea!" The March Hare shouted from somewhere the front of the crowd. He threw a tea cup at her and The Hatter- which they quickly dodged- and laughed maniacally. The Cheshire cat appeared, smiling his wide smile that seemed to mock and say: "I've done something."
"I knew that you two would be together." He told them matter-of-factly.
"You could have said something before." Alice grumbled.
"But it was more fun this way. That, and the fact that I absolutely cherish his hat."
"What does that have to do with anything?" She asked him, annoyance lacing her tone.
"You'll just have to find out. No one is better at evaporating than me. Keep that in mind, Alice." And with that he disappeared.
She shook off his words and continued with The Hatter, towards the Queen.
"I wish you both happiness. You deserve it, after all." She spoke in a soft- yet firm tone. The voice of a true Queen. Alice bowed her head with appreciation. "None of that now. You saved all of Underland.. You and I are equals. I don't, ever, want to see you bow to me. If anything.. We should be bowing to you."
Alice smiled, and walked with Tarrant and the Queen, into the castle, feeling happy as ever.
However, they knew something is in store for them- a darkness, hiding behind the scenes. . You can't find "Happily Ever After" in the real world. So why would that change in Underland. If anything... it'll only get worse.
