A.N/ Chapter 1, Chapter 2 will be up sometime next week.
Alice has chosen to stay. Instead of return to the above land she was going to stay in Underland. Stay because of him? No...she didn't feel the same for him as he felt for her. But he didn't know that for certain, but he was far too afraid to ask her who she felt, he was very bad at handling...feelings.
Mirana noticed this and had talked to the Hatter, but he refused to admit his feelings for Alice to her...how could she get him to announce his feelings to Alice? So she did the first thing that can into her mind.
"A Ball!" The White Queen exclaimed and the people in her main hall turned and started at her including, Cheshire, The Hatter, Alice and several members of her court.
"A Ball your majesty, what for?"
"Does there need to be a reason? We haven't had a Ball in so long and we need one to lighten everyone's spirits." A sudden thought hit the Queen. "We can have a Ball to congratulate Alice on her winning battle and welcoming her as a citizen of Underland. A Ball for Alice! Yes!" The Queen smiled gleefully and spun around and then ran over to Alice.
"Oh, Alice! This Ball will be magnificent! We will get Tarrant to make you a dress for the Ball, he is ever so excellent!" The Queen spun around again and then vanished into a group of her court members.
Tarrant looked horrified, he would have to make Alice a dress, although making a dress would made him happy, it would keep his mind off things, but this dress was for Alice and he would have to take Alice's measurements which would wear seeing her in her underwear and he would have to fit the dress on her.
"Hatter, are you okay?" Alice's voice made the Hatter jump out of his thoughts and a small blush paint his pale cheeks.
"Hm, yes, yes, I'm fine." He reassured her. "I better go, make designs for your dress." He said slowly turning around and walking away to his rooms.
"Would you like me to come with you?"
"No, I'll send someone to get you when I am finished."
Alice nodded but her brow furred with worry, the Hatter had been acting weirdly ever since she had decided to stay in Underland, was this a bad decision? Maybe she should have returned home after all.
The Hatter observed the three dresses in front of him, one was red and white and much like the one she has worn at the Red Queen's palace, only smaller, since so was she. The second was a bright colour one, yellows and white and many flowers attached to the hem of the dress and a silk sash going diagonally across her chest that acted as a sort of sleeve.
The third dress was simple and blue and almost identical to the one she had worn when she had first come into Underland, well at this time, not the first time when she was younger. It had diamonds encrusted on the hem and was made of a much softer material.
A knock at the doors of his room brought him out of his thoughts.
"Enter." he said, his attention not changing from the dresses.
"Hatter?" The Hatter's green eyes widened and he spun around to face Alice.
"Alice...are you here to try out the dresses?"
"Yes I am...how did you make them without knowing my measurements? That must have been hard." Alice said, looking down at the beautiful dresses.
"I guessed."
"Hatter, these dresses are beautiful!...Should I try them on?"
"Of course." The Hatter nodded. "You can change in there." he pointed over to a door which lead into a small room the Hatter used for people to try on the clothes he made them.
Alice picked up the three dresses and went into the room to try the first dress on, she can out a few minutes later wearing the blue dress and the Hatter felt his face heat up.
"This is my favourite one out of the three." Alice said, looking down at her dress. "I really like this one...it reminds me of home." Her expression turned sad and Hatter felt really bad for her.
Alice looked up and saw the Hatter's expression and quickly changed the subject. "It's a bit loose at the front and chest area though." she said pulling up the front of the dress to show how baggy it was.
The Hatter's face became flushed as he looked at her chest and Alice noticed and had to stop herself from grinning like Cheshire.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll get that fixed, just give me the dress, and..."
"How do you know my chest measurements if you do not take them?"
The Hatter's flush became deeper and he nodded over to a slightly raised platform where he had people stand whilst he measured them and checked their clothes. Alice walked over to the platform, holding the front of the dress to make sure it didn't fall down. When Alice stood on the platform, The Hatter walked over to her and took a measuring tape from the desk nearest the platform.
He wrapped the measuring tape around her chest, trying as much as he could not to touch her breasts.
"Okay, I have your measurements, I will re-do this dress...are you sure this is the one you want?"
"Yes, thank you Hatter." she said, smiling sweetly down at him.
The Hatter nodded and held out his hand to help Alice down from the raised platform.
"Thank you Hatter...again." Alice said and kissed the man's cheek making him more flushed than before.
"Y-You're welcome." The Hatter replied and watched as Alice walked out of his room.
