It was a cool and cloudy mid-September day when Alice and Hatter decided to go out for pizza. They were walking down the street, hand in hand, towards their destination. Alice looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, worried a storm might start before they get there. As if she predicted it, a downpour of rain started falling from the sky as she saw the pizza parlor in sight. The two started laughing and took off running towards the building. Before going in, Hatter stopped Alice and pulled her in for a kiss.

As they pulled apart, Alice asked, "What was that for?"

Hatter gave her that half smirk she loves so much and replied, "Well, it's not every day I get to kiss a pretty girl in a very wet dress." Alice laughed as they walked into the pizza parlor together. They sat across from each other in a cozy booth as they looked over the menu. After a few minutes, they decided on a meat lover's pizza.

"What I wanna know is what we're gonna do if it's still pouring out when we're done," Alice stated.

With a gleam in his eye, Hatter replied, "Well, I suppose we'll just have to make a run for it my little oyster." As much as being called an oyster annoyed Alice back in Wonderland, she always ends up smiling every time Hatter calls her his little oyster. As they wait for their pizza, Alice gets lost in her thoughts as she watched Hatter fidget with the black hat in his hands. She looks up at his unruly dark brown hair and wants to do nothing but run her fingers through it.

"How are things at the shop," Alice asks. Since being in her world, Hatter has made quite a name for himself. He opened up a real tea shop that has become increasingly more popular by each day. It was no surprise to Alice that Hatter made the best different kinds of tea she ever tasted. Hatter had even created his own tea blends. He, of course, named his sweetest blend after Alice, calling it 'Alice's Tea of Legend'. Needless to say, it was one of her favorites.

"Things are getting along splendidly. There's not a day I don't see new first time customers," Hatter proudly replied.

"How could you not? You're like a tea connoisseur," Alice laughed. She remembered the first time Hatter had made her tea. She refused to drink anything other than his tea from that day forward. A few minutes passed and their pizza was brought to the table. They ate and talked, enjoying each other's company. Once they were ready to leave, the rain slowed so there was no need to make a run for it.

When they were back in the apartment, Alice stated, "I need to get out of these wet clothes before I get sick." Without any hesitation, Hatter offered to help with that and kissed her all the way into the bedroom.
