The weeks went by and Alice had never been happier. She liked her job in the queen's castle and had tea with her every afternoon. But her favorite time was any spent with her beloved Hatter. The majority of her time was spent with him. Little did she know that her new life was about to be dramatically altered…

The queen smiled to herself. She had been planning this for the last few weeks. Alice had grown closer to her and could no longer stand seeing her and having to hide her feelings. She had to try…for however long it took.

Her sources had told her about Alice & Tarrant's new intimacy and that was the final straw. She planned to tell Alice in her gardens. And, because she is the queen, she will get what she wants.

After the weekend when Alice returned to work, the plan started. They went to a particularly secluded place in the gardens. They sat down and she took hold of Alice's hand.

Now Alice knew something was up, she had for weeks. She could feel the queen watching her when she thought Alice wasn't looking. And now, she was in a secluded place, her hand in the queen's; she was nervous and scared. And the queen knew it.

"Why do you fear me?" Her dark eyes stared at Alice. She couldn't respond and Mirana moved closer. "Alice I love you," she stated very matter-of-factly.

Alice stared in shock, and before she could respond, the queen was kissing her full on the mouth. She freaked out and pulled away.

"Mirana, what do you think you are doing?"

Mirana gave Alice a seductive look. "My love, I can show you please beyond anything that foolish hatter can give you."

This infuriated Alice to no end. "Mirana, you are my friend, but I am in love with Tarrant and I do not want anyone else, including you!" Alice stood up and began to run.

"I am your queen; you will be mine Alice Kingsly!"

Alice ran until she arrived home. When she found Tarrant, she collapsed into his arms and began crying.

"Sweetling, what's wrong?" Who has upset my Alice so much?" Alice told him everything. His eyes turned the dangerous red, and he began shouting. "She'll never take you away from me! I lost you once and I refuse to let her have you!"

She grabbed him and held his face in her hands. "Tarrant listen to me!" His eyes began to change back. "My love, you will not lose me. I am yours and you are mind. I'm always yours, forever Tarrant." She kissed him gently and they fell into their passionate embrace. For the night, they pleasured each other and as they fell asleep, neither thought about what had happened. They slept peacefully in each other's arms.

The next morning, the queen went to their house. Tarrant opened the door and was immediately arrested.

"What the bloody hell is this?" He shouted.

"Tarrant Hightop, you are under arrest." The queen calmly said. Alice ran to the door.

"Mirana, what are you doing? Let him go!"

"It's Queen Mirana to you. I told you that you would be mine. I shall indeed let him go, but only if you come with me and leave this madman."

"Never! I love Tarrant!"

"Then say goodbye he's under my command now." And then left with her guards, and Tarrant.

Alice didn't know what to do, so she ran to the hare. She found him and Mally and Chess in the garden.

"Tarrant's been arrested!" she shouted.

"WHAT?" all three shouted.

"Why would Mirana do that?" Mally demanded to know.

Alice again told the story of the day before. Mally burst into rage. "I'll kill her! She had no right! We must save him!"

So, they all started a plan, along with McTwisp. And so it was decided; if Mirana wanted a fight, she would definitely get one.
