I had a lot of fun writing in Chess's POV. I hope you enjoy it!
Chess's POV
"Did ya tell her, did ya tell her, did ya tell her?" Mally asked me excitedly.
"FOR THE LAST TIME MALLY! I DID NOT TELL HER!" I screamed at the dormouse. Mally, Hatter, March, and I were all at the tea party.
"Ye need ta tell tha lass soon." Hatter said, obviously thinking about Alice.
"I will, I will! And Tarrant," I said, turning to look towards the Milliner, "you should too."
"Tis going ta be tha first thing I say ta the lass. Well I think it will be. I would probably say 'hello' and then maybe hug her or something... Sorry." He rambled, changing accent in the middle.
"She's coming tomorrow, that's what the Oraculum said," March said, using sense for once in his life. "She's late fer Tea!" I evaporated so to not get hit with a scone. Ahhh, there's his madness.
"Don't forget the other part. Dani is also coming back tomorrow." I said, reappearing and grabbing a cup of tea.
"Yeah, and we all know why ya want her back!" Mally said snickering.
"I will eat you, dormousy" I said teasing my friend.
"Say Chess, isn't about time Dani showed up?" Hatter pointed out. I barely heard the last of his sentence because I was disappearing into the evaporating world.
"Danielle!" I yelled as I watched her appear. It really was a magical sight. A bright light flashed and she can from the light. It was as if the light WAS her. The light was full of different colors, and it created the most wonderful sight. Of all my years in Underland, I had never seen anything like it.
Most people don't know that Dani is related to Tarrant, and is just as Mad as he is, but is better at hiding it. Her emotions are literally written all over her face, because of her eyes. When she opened them, I saw gold for a second which means she is irritated, then a flash of lavender,which I don't know what means, and then to a brilliant green, which means she's happy.
"Do your eyes change color in Overland, love? " I asked her, my curiosity getting the best of me.
"What do you mean?"
"Your eyes, they are like Tarrant's and change color with your mood. Does it happen in Overland?"
"No, I didn't even know my eyes did that!" She exclaimed puzzled.
"Well yes, they are usually green, but when you are irritated they are gold, when you are happy they are green, when your inner madness is taking over and you are angry, they are a red, an when your madness just takes over, they are pink. Those are all of them, but the most common colors. Tarrants are the almost the same." Chess explained to her.
"I knew Hatter's eyes changed but I didn't know mine did. In Overland I had been told my eyes were lighter or darker than they were before." She said thoughtfully.
"They are quite beautiful you know," I said after I had turned into my human form. I watched her eyes as lavender started to swirl into the green. "But I can't quite tell what lavender is. Do you happen to know?" I asked her. I could could tell she did by her blush. Perhaps she feels the same way about me as I do her? Maybe Dani really does love me and it's not just my friends telling me that she does?
"No I don't know what lavender is," She said but I could tell she was lying. She. Ran and jumped into my arms, the same she did almost every day. "I missed you Chess."
"I missed you too, Dani." I loved this, picking her up in my arms and swinging her around. I never wanted to let go of her.
"What are we going to do today?" Dani asked me.
"Hmmm.. I don't know, what do you want to do love?"
"I need to talk to Hatter, but I don't know how the news will affect him."
"Well onward to the tea party, but tell me what you have to tell him on the way.
"And then we went to my house to figure out how to get back to Underland. I wanted to try through looking glass, but Alice wanted to go by rabbit hole! I have a looking glass that will work sometimes, but Alice dislikes the feel of the glass." Dani rambled on.
"Dani love, we are almost at the Tea Party. " I said back into changing my cat form.
"Oh, I've been rambling haven't I?"
"Yes, but it's okay. I leaned your favorite Overland cake while you were rambling. It's Red Velvet, though I don't know why you would eat anything with velvet though. "
"It's not REAL velvet, it's just a name." She explained to me.
"Dani!" I head Mally yell.
"Hello Mally!" Dani said cheerfully. "Hatter, I need to talk to you. Alone."
