A weird swallowing feeling came over The Hatter's body. As if he was being drank like a gaint cup of tea. Floating and sinking in the same moment.

This is madness and even at my standard

His eyes were opened as he finished the last part of the blood. He looked at the White Queen who was looking at him with a smile on her face. Soon everything started to fade. Like smoke it changed everything disappeared and changed into a swirl of colours. The Hatter shut his eyes to block out the sickening change in scenery. Even though the hatter had his eyes closed he could see colours flashing past him .

purple , red , green , blue , yellow , pink. This cant be London . It is awfully different from the place Alice described to me. She told me of dull colours and dreadful people but there is noone here but me and these colours that look like they have been stolen from the rainbow.

THUMP!

Hatter hit the ground with force which caused him to fall over and land face first in the grass. The Hatter opened his eyes slightly and looked around where he was without moving an inch.

All the bright colours had gone. He was lying on a field that was surrounded with pointy trees and precisely cut white rose bushes. A flight of stone steps lead to a massive building that looked like a house. The gardens were all cleanly cut and polished. The distant sound of talking could be heard coming from somewhere in the gardens. The sun was hiding behind a grey cloud that seemed to cover the whole sky.

Yes this is it. This is london. The colours are the same as she decribed . Grey , black , white , silver . Even the grass isnt as green as it is meant to be. It's as if someone has come along and painted the grass a miserable dark colour. Painting plants isn't a very good idea . One can only try and forget the trouble the Red Queen had with her roses!

'Faith! Faith ! look there is a man on the floor' 'I uhmmm' someone cleared their throat 'Are you ok sir? you seem to have fallen down' ' Yes down. Down on the floor or is he sleeping' ' No hes not sleeping his eyes are open' ' Maybe hes been drinking to much of the punch' 'He is wearing wicked clothing' ' Shh Fiona he's moving he will hear you!'

Could that be ? They sound so alike . So familair .

The Hatter jumped up from his current position on the ground to face the two people who was speaking in such a familair way. He looked upon two girls both in light coloured summer dresses. Both girls had brown hair with curls and ribbons. They looked similar. Clearly Sisters but they could pass as twins. They stood side by side close to each other which emphasize their similairties. They even talked the same way.

Why do they seem so familiar ? And why are they staring at me ? I'm dressed to my best. My brown overcoat , my liquorice alsorts neck tie , famous hat. Why are they looking at me so strangely? i'm dressed to perfection!

'How unusually dressed you are sir?' 'And your eyes ? Have you got a disease ? They are bright green!' 'You cant ask people things like that Fiona' 'Why not its not like he understands what we are saying look hes not even looking at us now' ' Hello sir ! what is your name are you lost ? '

The Hatter had zoned out from the conversation and was lost in his own world. His thoughts buzzing around in his head like little horseflies.

Why am i here ? Is this london ? Why arent i trying to find Alice instead of talking to these two girls who remind me so much of someone else. But who ?!

' Sir ' ' I think he is quite mad Faith listen hes talking to himself'

They both leaned forward slowly towards The Hatters dipped head so they could have a better listen to what he was saying

'Alice.... where is she.... they remind me of someone else ... who

'Did he say Alice Fiona? ' ' I think he did Faith' ' We know an Alice do you think its the same Alice?' ' The Alice '

Suddenly The Hatter snapped out of his daze and jumped slightly looking straight at the girls

' Tweedles ! oh my gosh you and them could be twins , thats if they weren't already twins , i wonder if you would have two sets of twins how pecuilar '

'Sir ?' Faith slowly said. This man was strange and she didn't know if he was dangerous but he said he knew Alice and she wasn't about to pass up the chance of gossip.

'Sir did you say you where looking for Alice?' said Faith

'yes. YES ! do you know here she is she left and I need to see her before she sees her mother!'

The girls looked at each other and smirked

'Where are you from sir?' 'How do you know Alice ? ' ' And if you don't mind me asking why are you dressed so unfashionably?'

Thats why they were looking at me strange I am wearing these clothes! The White Queen said that people in Overland are so accustomed to our ways. I must try to act more like them. Like Alice would. i must next find some new clothing I don't seem to be wearing the correct attire for this place.

'Urm urhm' The Hatter cleared his throat 'I'm sorry my ladies my manners must have ran away with my marbles , I am Tarrant Hightopp, royal hatter of the her majesty The White Queen' he took off his tophat and bowed towards the young girls who both blushed and started to giggle. They both turned their backs from the man and started to talk

'He works for the Queen!' ' He must be rich' ' How does he know Alice?' ' I wonder if they have been courting in secret' ' OOO ! I wonder what she would do if she knew we knew'

They both swivled around in union to face the Mad Hatter who had stood there looking confused during their little chat

'We know your Alice' ' We have since we where children' ' We know where she is'

'Please please can you take me to her I really need to see her!' The Hatter pledded

' We will take you to her' with that the sisters walked off towards the big house up the flight of stairs. Hatter just stood there glued to the spot looked at the two girls walk away. He was going to see her in her world. He looked back at the girls and noticed they were signalling for him to follow them inside the house. He complied and started to walk toward the house. Her house
