Hi everyone! As you may have noticed I've changed my name to LKsView, and I'm back with a new chapter already!

Well I hope you will enjoy this one as well, cause I've worked slightly hard on this even though I am not proud, and I feel like the evil Time teasing Tarrant, with taking too long.

But please R&R.

- Enjoy.

When he was finally done with everything he could think of before he could leave his home and take to Marmoreal, it had become a little darker outside, 'stupid suitcase, shouldn't have been invented' he thought to himself as he dragged it behind him through the Tugly woods.

Time really wasn't on his side and had never been either; it quickly became darker, speeding up time so Tarrant almost couldn't see which way to go.

Probably laughing his clock off by watching him stumble around in the wood trying to find the right way out, suddenly he remembered how Alice had told him she had spend a long time in it and just found a trace to follow when suddenly one of the creatures this one being the dog and half broom and brushed it away so poor Alice was lost.

Now the dog wasn't here and neither were the trace, luckily Tarrant lived in Underland so he was quiet good finding his way around… in the light.

When Tarrant reached the castle; Nivens looking at him as he neared the front gate greeted him.

"Well hello Tarrant, what are you doing here?" he asked as they entered the castle and made their way towards his workroom to set his stuff.

"Oh, I need to talk to the Queen about a new hat I have in mind so I will find her in a moment, she will love it!" he exclaimed and placed his suitcase on the bed and turned to walk out again when something caught his eye.

The dress… the dress he had made his Alice when she was the wrong size and he had stuffed her in the teapot when the Knave showed up and almost gotten caught it not Bayard was on their side.

Picking it up and turning it around in his hand a tear rolled down his pale cheek, oh how he missed him; stuffing it in his front pocket he made a swear to himself that he would find Alice and bring her back, and make her his, he needed her, all he really needed was her.

"Tarrant?" Nivens startled him he quickly brushed the tear away with his thumb and left the room, Nivens in tow.

"Tarrant! Wait, why in such a hurry and what was that back there? You can't just storm in!" he yelled after him.

Stopping dead in his track he turned slowly to face the white rabbit slowly.

"Listen teh me I need teh show it too Queen, and yeh're in mah way" he told him slowly, his outlandish accent creeping in as he talked.

"Tarrant? Is that you?" a thin voice asked from behind him, turning quickly around his eyes faded back to his normal color as he spotted Mirana standing watching them, with a raised eyebrow and her court all standing behind her watching too waiting on him to answer.

"Yes my queen, I've come to discuss something with you if you have the time" he said and tipped his hat at her as he bowed slightly, straighten up he suddenly got nervous; what if she said no? Then what was he to do?

"Of course, come with me" She simply said, waving her court away she walked into her room with Tarrant in tow.

"So, what can I do for you my dear Hatter? Anything you need new to your workroom or maybe a new design?" she smiled gently at him as she picked up a teacup and poured herself something and pushed a teacup towards him, inviting him a cup, picking it up he also poured himself some and took a sip to calm his nerves before saying;

"I want Alice back my Queen" She merely raised one perfect shaped brown eyebrow and waited for him to continue.

"I love her my Queen, I'll of course go to Above myself and find her and bring her back I promise!" He started to speak faster his nerves coming to surface from fear of her saying no, but she did something that shocked him so he dropped his teacup, something he swear he'd never seen a Queen do before; she squealed with excitement and clapped her hands together and gave a little twirl and giggled.

"I knew it! I knew I saw something between you two, but you seemed like you didn't have a clue of it but now you do! Of this is excellent! Oh, and I am sure of Alice feeling the same, I saw it! And I want Alice back dearly too, she was a good friend, no like my court, she didn't see me only as the Queen you know"

He couldn't help himself and gave a nervous chuckle, and he thought he would ramble.

"My Quee-"

"Oh Tarrant after all this time we've known each other we're on first names, I won't hear you call me Queen again, say Mirana" She grinned; he'd never seen the Q- Mirana like this ever before.

"Oh well Mirana, can I travel to Above and bring her back? I need her, she promised she be back before I knew it and she isn't here! Two years I've waited! I'll do it, I'll travel to Above on my own and find her myself, I'll travel tonight I just need-"

"No Tarrant"

His face fell and all hope left him of what she'd just said, he moved his eyes from hers and looked down at his shoes in some kind of shame, like he disappointed someone other than himself; Alice.

His mind kept repeating it over and over again in his head; refusing to believe it, no? She couldn't say no! Why was she saying no? Didn't she just say she wanted Alice back herself and she knew she saw something between them? Was she one of them who were against him leaving? Only she was the only one of them who actually could stop him… she was the Queen after all.

"No?" he finally rasped out and tore his eyes away from his shoes to look at her again, letting her see his eyes had changed from his eyes turn from the blue color that they had taken to be after Tarrant's mood the last year, after he realized that Alice wasn't coming anytime soon and his feelings driving him insane and couldn't show them and express them to the one he needed to show them too and hope for her to return them, to a doll gray and no hope in his eyes as he had the moment she saw him.

She felt bad, but what he was asking for was so big and what would he do if he didn't found her? And where would he stay while being there, she could bring him back, but she couldn't force him to be happy if the plan failed… but she could always let him try, she knew she saw something form between the two of them, the way Tarrant kept looking at her and Alice blushing every time he would touch her, every single touch her cheeks would turn a rosy color and she would look down at her feet, but Mirana could see the small smile playing at the young girls lips and how nervous they both were, and how they had no clue they were in love.

Now, Tarrant was in full blow having it bad and almost begging her on his knees to bring Alice back to Underland, and taking everything on his shoulders so he could do it.

"Tarrant, it's so big what you're asking for, I could send you up there yes but where would you stay? And what would you do if you don't find her or if you see something you don't like? You don't know what you may find or not find up there Tarrant, I've only send McTwisp up there and the only reason is because he was born up there and fell down here, he knows the his way around, you however don't and I can't send both of you up there" She told him sadly and patted his arm but he stepped aside.

"But you could trust me, I just want to find her, you can decide anything you want just don't let me be away from her! I can't stand the waiting anymore please Mirana!" a tear rolled down his cheek, pulling out the dress of his pocket he handed it over to her which she took.

"Please, I' beggin' yeh mah Queen" he begged, as he looked straight in her brown eyes.

Poor Tarrant don't you think?

Cliffhanger! Hate and love those!

So what do you think? Loved it? Liked it? Disliked it? Hated it? (I surely hope you don't hate it!) REVIEW.

Please Review, I want to know what all of you think of this story, and so sorry if you find it messy, I try my hardest to make it better.

Now the next chapter may take a little longer cause I'm trying to make them longer each of them but that much I can't do apparently good enough cause they always end up short no matter what I do but it's chapters so I think we all will survive.

See you guys next time.

REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
