Hatter awoke the following morning to the sun shining over the two of them. Looking down into his wife's face he noticed something odd. There were indigo strips going through her hair! Shock was the first emotion he felt when he realized what it meant then anger was the next. He quickly removed himself from the bed and dressed before storming out of their room.
He went to his workshop with in the castle and proceeded to take his anger out there. This was how Mirana found him and she could only guess what was the matter. "Tarrant?" she called as he was destroying everything he could get his hands on.
He heard her but choose to ignore her. He was furious that Alice had not told him the truth. 'How dare she keep something like this to herself!' he railed in his head. "TARRANT HIGHTOPP, I ORDER YOU TO STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" Mirana nearly screamed at him. He stopped and looked at her with such hurt in his eyes that she quickly realized that something had happened though she wasn't sure what. "Tarrant, what is the matter?" she asked him gently.
"She lied to me Mirana. How could she keep something this important from me?" he asked brokenly.
"What exactly did she lie about Tarrant?"
"Mirana, I do not know if you know this but my wife also happens to be..." he stopped not sure how to reveal that his wife, the woman he loved beyond reason, was a princess and not just any princess but the Princess of Underland.
"The Princess of Underland" she finished for him which had him looking at her in shock. "Before you say anything, I have known since she returned just who she was. Her mother was or should I say is Princess Helennea, who disappeared decades ago. Alice knows none of this however. Her mother choose not to tell either of her daughters that they are in fact royalty. I only found out last night that her heritage would show only after she was wed. I assume that you saw her coloring this morning upon awakening and thought the worst Tarrant, but I can assure you she knows nothing. I was in fact supposed to reveal the secret of her heritage to her this very day. It was her mother's wish that she not know until after you and she had married. She wanted Alice to at least have one day where she was free of her new responsibilities."
Tarrant was relieved that his wife had not lied but to have Mirana know all this and still not say anything hurt. "Tarrant, I think it is time to let Alice know don't you think?" she asked looking at her friend and soon to be King of Underland.
He nodded and together they went to speak to Alice.

Alice awoke alone and wondered were her husband could have gone. Rising out of bed she found she was sore but not overly so. It wasn't until she was dressed and was seated at the vanity did she notice that her long blond hair now had strips of blue going through the locks. She wondered what it could mean then she saw the mirror ripple and she stood back in shock as her mother's face came into view. she heard voices in the outer room and barely got her husband's name out before she fainted.
Tarrant and Mirana heard Alice call Tarrant's name and then a thump as something hit the floor. They raced into the room to find Alice on the floor unconscious and when Mirana looked around she figured out why. Her mother was watching from the mirror with concern.
It took a few minutes to arouse the unconscious Alice, but when they did all she could do was point to the mirror in confusion.
Tarrant looked to the mirror in question and saw a woman looking at him in shock. "I think I have some explaining to do," the figure in the mirror stated.
