Heya guys, if you're still reading, I apologise for the bad chapter earlier, I wanted to get that one over and done with so I can to more fluffier scenes with Alice and Hatter, if you don't understand why Mirana has married Warren Stayne, then read the first story I wrote about Alice retuning to Underland. Many thanks to anyone who is reading this, and reviews would be surely appreciated, (especially uplifting after a bad-painful physio session with a very pervey old physiotherapist) 3 loves ya all if you have already liked and fav'd any of my other stories so far.
Alice: I awoke to a very strange sound indeed. It went "OOH!" I opened my eyes and blinked in the bright morning, ouch! That hurts my eyes; I think I had a little too much Champaign last night. My head! Stumbling out of bed I pulled on a blue silk dressing gown. "OOOOOH ALLICE!"-"AUNT ALICE!"-"UNHAND ME, YOU RUFFIAN! WHERE IS ALICE?! TAKE ME TO ALICE!"-"calm down Mrs Kingsleigh, please, Alice is just in here…" "A, A TALKING WHITE RABBIT?! Oh, I think I need to sit down…" "Mother?" I opened the door to find, my mother, now sitting on the white bench, Mc Twisp was trying to calm her with soothing words, "deep breaths Mrs Kingsleigh, deeeep breaths," my sister Margret was standing with the two little ones, who were wriggling by her sides, trying to get to me, "look aunt Alice, a talking cat!" Bridget shouted to me, grinning at my favourite friend, "I do have a name child, its Chessur Cat, at your service," he winked and Bridget giggled. They had not changed since the last time I had saw them, I've only been here for two weeks, Thomas and march hair were bouncing round now, the Tweedle's looked on in confusion scratching their heads and Mally sat on Bayard's back, who had a bag of luggage in his mouth. "Margret, Mother, Bridget, Thomas! However did you get here?" this was very, very surprising, "we had invitations to your supposed wedding, Alice, did you realise how worried we all were not hearing a word from you, for three days we sent out search parties…" three days? "…and we find out you are here, in this…place!" that was mother, forever condescending me, "it's good to see you to mother," I grinned and gave her a hug, "what is this place Alice?" my sister was looking fairly pale, I sat her down next to mother and nodded to the others to take the children somewhere to play, "hey! Where are they taking my children?"—"Margret it's okay, they are my friends," I smile encouragingly, "exactly how can you be friends with a talking rabbit?!" I think it was a little bit too much for mother, she was hysterical, "it's a long story," I bite my lip, thinking of the best way to begin, "so, you know those dreams I had when I was a little girl, that father helped me with?" they nodded, "well the thing is, do you remember that I ran from Hamish from the gazebo? And I came back all messed up? Well, I was in Underland, this place…" and I began to tell them all about my little adventure, about Mirana, Irasebeth, Hatter, the Bandersnatch, the JubJub bird and the Jabberwocky. I told them about my growing feelings for hatter and my decision to come here, to live with him, them explained about Irasebeth's second attempt for the crown and how I was stabbed and saw Father, this one Mother was tearful, and how he had proposed to me, "…and I know it sounds so farfetched and hardly believable it really did happen Mother, Margret, believe me," I we had adjourned to my bedroom and were havening tea.
"I don't know Alice it's all too much, I-how can a young lady do all that?" she shook her head, she was looking better now that she had some tea in her, "father once said anything was possible if you just believed didn't he? Why is it more absurd that I sleighed the jabberwocky than a talking cat and a rabbit in a waist coat?" I was getting rather angry, where was Hatter? He should be here? "No, no dear, it just that this whole situation is so…bizarre." I patted her hand "I know, I had the same trouble trying to get my head around it all, I had been convinced on my second visit that it was all a terrible dream." She smiled hesitantly up at me, "so this…Hatter, he is your groom to be yes?"-"Uh Hu," I nodded "and you love him, and he you?"-"…yeess….?" Where is this going? "well then, we have a wedding to plan," she grinned, I had to fling my arms around her and squeeze her for a moment before I gained my dignity and pulled back. "Yes er about that, everything's kind of already planned." Time to feel guilty, I guess, round about now, "you see, I didn't know you were coming here, I thought there was no way for you to get here…how did you get here by the way?" I was trying to change the subject and I was kind of curious, imagining them all falling through the rabbit hole, " well, we all were waiting for you at Lord ascots home when we were ambushed by a small man with bushy red hair…"—"that'll be hatter,"-" the next thing we know when the purple fog clears is that we are here, and so are you," that explains a lot, "so where is Lord ascot now?" I wondered "Lord ascot and Lowell are looking after Lady ascot who was a little worse for wear, I'm afraid,"—"what?"—"fainted poor dear," this made my chuckle, we all fell into an easy laugh, it was so good to see them. Here, safe. Life was getting better and better.
