This chapter is really short but it's a flashback!

(earlier that day)

"Hatter?" Alice said slowly.

The thumbing sound echoing from the inside of the sherreb surrounded them as they sat in a small room, off a ways from where Jack and the suits sat, flying the giant machine.

"Ya Alice?" Hatter said slowly, glancing up at her face.

"What if… what if you come back with me?" She said slowly watching his face.

Hatter sighed loudly his face dropping into his hands.

"Alice… you know I cant." He whispered through his fingers.

"why?!?" Alice pleaded, "Please Hatter, come back with me…please… I love you." Tears were running down her face as she stepped towards him. "Please Hatter I cant go without you."

Hatter looked away from her, fighting back tears and trying his best not to look at her.

"Alice…" He began.

"Then let me stay here, let be stay with you!"she interrupted standing just in front of him.

"You can stay here Alice. You have to go home." He said, raising his head to face her.

"NO! NO!" she was shaking her head now. "I wont go!" she was crying fully now.

"Alice… please..," He stood and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her to his chest as she cried.

"I love you hatter." She whispered into his chest.

They stood, Alice crying into his shirt for nearly 20 minuets. Finally,

"Alice, Listen to me." Hatter said slowly.

She raised her head to look at him her eyes widening.

"I promise. When things settle down here, I promise I will come for you." He said

"Really?" She said slowly, a smile spreading across her face. "you promise?"

He nodded smiling back at her. "promise Alice, we won't be apart for long."

Okay ya I wasn't going to include this part but I forgot to add this stuff into the other chapter which is really bad but its really important to the plot.
