Heyo everyone! It's me!

Long time, since I've worked on Alice, since I stopped the sequel. Again; so sorry about that.

BUT I'M BACK! And with a new story! This one will center most around Tarrant POV and one or two Alice POV.

This is the start and it is a start really, only Tarrant's thoughts and memories a little.

Anyway I will let you read, so ENJOY.

Two years, two years since she left Underland… two years since she left him after her 'be back before you know it' did she mean it?

What if something happened? A lot can happen in two years… maybe she forgot it again, maybe she forget that he was real, and gotten married, probably waiting children or already having one already, gone all 'proper' up there above with that man she told him about one night, Ah yes, Hamish, he probably looks like a Hamish too.

No Alice said she couldn't stand the man she told him so herself and that she would never marry him, he was everything she was not and too stiff, no imagine she said; but there is other men up there wasn't there?

He wondered if she would ever come back to Underland, to him and if she could possible understand his feelings or even feel the same, but that was absurd, he was mad even though she had told him 'all the best people are', telling him they called her father mad for all his 'crazy' ideas, and Alice wasn't like any other women so maybe he had a chance?

He'd never felt this way about Alice until she landed in Underland the second time.

The first time she ended up in Underland he felt very protective of the little girl and cared deeply about her, she became his best friend quickly; they understood each other and she was just as mad as he was in her own way, with her imagine and ideas, and when she left, he missed her everyday, her company and laughter, she was not like Thackery and Mally, she was something for herself.

But the second time she came back, no longer a little girl but a young woman it all turned upside down for one confused Tarrant Hightopp, of course he was ecstatic when she came back and even though everyone else doubted her, even herself; he knew it was her, but at the same time he recognized her he also saw how much she had grown up since her first visit and he found he couldn't tore his eyes away from her; she was stunning.

Even thought it hurt when she didn't remember and he saw that her muchness was gone he still didn't give up, she was in there, and he would found her and he did, no she did.

But when she left even after he gave her a kiss after his dance at the end of the war filled with every bit of his feelings, she still left saying she had things to see and questions to answer, wasn't two years enough? Unless…

But he had waited for a year, saying she would be back before he knew it every time someone would tell him that she wasn't coming back until the year was over and he slumped against his chair with an empty expression where a toothy smile used to be, dropped the teacup in his hand on the ground and the tea spilled out onto the dry grass he'd lost hope.

He got more mood swings and became even more mad, losing control every now and then when Alice would pass his mind, like she was haunting him.

Losing his family left him mad and hungry for revenge, and alone but when the love of his life left without a trace and maybe without knowing she left him empty, like she'd taking something that belonged to him with her and he wanted it back.

And he wanted her back, and he wanted to make her his one way or another, maybe he was mad but he was after all still a man, a man in love.

So why was he just sitting here when his father and mother other than how to become an extraordinary hatter, taught him to stand up and fight for what he wanted? No he was going to try, and if it didn't work he at least tried and then he could move on… if he could.

And he would do that tomorrow, he would go to the queen and ask for help and then he would find her.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? LIKED IT? DISLIKED IT? LET ME KNOW.

That was the start; sorry if it is a little messy I will work more on that.

So, R&R – REVIEW! If you do… I'll give you a virtual twizzler! YA KNOW YA WANT IT, lol, anyway I mean it, I love Reviews so do it and I'll see you next time.
