A/N: So, here is chapter 2. Thank you so much for the Favorite/Alerts and reviews it made my day to know that you like this story =). I love writing this pair, its so fun. Sorry for not updating sooner, but I had no access to internet. I'll try to get on a schedule so you all can look forward to seeing an update the same time each week.

So as always I own nothing Alice In Wonderland related…so sad.

Please R&R…reviews make me super happy. ßThat is my subtle hinting ;)

Mirana sat slumped over in her chair, head resting on the bedside table next to where Alice lay in her bed. She had been waiting for Alice to wake up, and insisted to everyone that she would not leave her side until she did.

"Mirana?" a very hoarse voice whispered out through the pure white room.

The Queen's head immediately shot up, instantly waking from her light sleep. She stood and went to the Alice's side. Mirana reached her hand out and gently brushed a golden strand of hair away from her champion's face.

" Alice, are you awake?"

Alice's eyes fluttered a few times before opening completely taking in everything around her. After a moment Alice then turned her attention to the Queen, taking in the view of the pale beauty.

"Great I'm dreaming again." Alice let out a frustration and closed her eyes again.

Mirana gave a light chuckle and placed one of her hands on Alice's enjoying the soft warmth of the girl's skin.

"No Alice, you are really in Underland" she smiled at the girl laying on the bed.

Alice moved to get up, wincing in pain she slid back down into the bed, putting a hand over her injured ribs. "Don't move Alice, when you fell down the rabbit hole, you hit the ground a bit too hard. You have a broken arm, and a few broken ribs, I'm doing all I can to mend them."

Mirana walked over to a table on the opposite side of the room, grabbing a vile filled with a blue liquid and walking back over to Alice.

"Drink this, it should ease the pain, and help you heal."

Alice took the vile and drank it, gagging a bit as she did so.

"That's horrid." Alice held up the vile to look at it, The Queen took the empty vile from her, and placed it on the bedside table.

"Majesty how long have I been in Underland?" Mirana looked at Alice and smiled

"Please Alice, no need for formality." She paused before answering the girls' question. "About 4 days now, of course none that you have been awake for. You should get some more rest, you should be healed soon" Mirana placed a gentle kiss on Alice's head, and walked to the door.

"Will you be back?"

"Of course dear champion, I will need to return to my chamber eventually."

Alice looked down at the bed she was resting in, her eyes widened slightly in the realization that she was laying in Mirana's bed. She looked back up at the Queen, her cheeks slightly a shade pinker that before.

" I'll come later to check on you."

The Queen walked out of her chamber and was immediately bombarded by thoughts.

Now that Alice was finally awake she could attend to the many things she neglected over these few days. She was so relieved to she that her champion was alright, aside from the things that Mirana could so easily heal. Which brought her to her next thought. what had Alice meant when she said "I'm dreaming again?" Mirana's thoughts seemed to swirl around this one sentence. The Queen was curious whether she meant dreaming of Underland, or dreaming of her. Mirana found herself smiling, when she hopped for the latter.

"Majesty, do ye know what day is approaching us?" Mirana turned around to see a smiling Hatter

"Yes Tarrant, I am so immensely aware." The Queen stated calmly, she knew what was coming, and she knew she had to make preparations.

" Aye, is it true then? Has Alice been returned to us?"

Mirana couldn't help but smile in that moment, she was so happy that Alice had come back, even in her worse for ware condition.

"Yes dear Hatter, Alice has returned to Underland, however she did take quite a hit when falling down the rabbit hole, she will need to heal a bit more."

Hatter smiled and nodded to the Queen, he was indeed happy to have Alice back as well. "Do ye think she will be attending the celebration?"

"That is up to her whether or not she is well enough to attend the ball, I do hope so though."

Mirana's mind drifted off for a moment, memories of the eight years before Alice's return flooded back to her. To a day on each of those years that went to honoring her champion, only to have her not there by the Queen's side, causing Mirana's thoughts to be scattered, and far off in another place thinking of her blonde haired rescuer. This year would be different, Alice returned. Mirana would make sure that this year's Frabjous Day celebration, would be the best yet, and that Alice would be truly honored, and enjoy it.

Mirana had a thought, that in her mind the only reason this year's celebration would be better is because Alice would be there with her.

"Majesty?"

The Queen shook from her thoughts, and smiled at a patiently waiting Hatter.

"I am sorry Tarrant, my mind seemed to wander off a bit."

"Thinking of your love I have no doubt." Mirana's cheeks turned a pale shade of pink at his comment. Long has Tarrant known of the Queen's love for Alice, and long ago he accepted it.

"Yes you are correct."

"Are you going to tell her? Now that she has returned perhaps you should."

Mirana stood silent for a moment as if pondering Hatter's question."

"Hmm perhaps I should, but for the time being I have some planning to attend to, please excuse me."

Mirana gave Hatter a knowing smile, and turned to walk down the long white corridor to her council chamber, where a few of her court members waited for her. After entering the quarters Mirana sat in her chair in front of the council.

"Alice has returned to Underland" she stated definitely. There were a number of murmurs heard around the room from some of the court members.

Mirana waited for the murmurs to cease before continuing.

"As you know this year's Frabjous Day Celebration is fast approaching, this year it must be flawless, I trust you to begin making preparations to the castle" she said with a gentle smile on her face.

There was a unanimous 'Yes Majesty' from all of the court members and Mirana clasped her hands together holding them to her chest.

Several hours had passed, and after discussing the guests, what to serve, and where to place things, Mirana was growing tired, and decided that she should go check on her champion.

" Well, then I will take my leave, thank you."

The Queen stood taking her leave, walking out of the council chamber , and into the throne room. Mirana noticed Alice in her robes staring at the armor that she once wore, the same armor that Mirana had admired so many times over the years.

Slowly walking up next to Alice, the Queen noticed her eyes studying the armor very closely, as if taking inventory of the dents and scratches.

" It's amazing that I wasn't killed."

" I am quite glad you weren't." Mirana said, snapping the girl out of her trance, Alice turned her head toward the Queen and smiled.

" I did this quite often in the years you were gone." Mirana stated in a quiet voice, the longing in it quite evident.

There was a comfortable silence between the two for a few moments. Alice being the first to break it.

"How long have I been away?"

A/N: There is chapter 2. I tried to make it a bit longer than chapter 1, but I didn't want to cram too much into one chapter. I think chapter 3 should be up within the next week, but I'm not too sure I'll try to get it up as quick as possible.

Please review and tell me what you thought of this update. Is there anything in particular you want to see happen? If there is tell me, and I will try to work it in somewhere. I hope you all enjoyed this update. =)
