Authors note: Sorry I didn't upload this earlier. Kayle wouldn't let me on the computer because I found out the hard way that you can't take pictures in the food court at the mall. Oh well! I uploaded it as soon as I could!

Peace in!

Chapter 10: I was wrong, things aren't good after all

I looked at Hatter and then at Alice. The tension was picking up. She expected him to take her side. I expected him to kick her out of the house. And he? Who knows? The thoughts of a madman are never obvious.

Hatter sighed in defeat. Wait defeat? He's not going to kick her out. I sigh out loud too. Maybe I should do it.

"Hatter? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Un-Alice asked as she looked at Hatter with a puzzled expression. Now, I didn't see his expression, so I'm just going to hope that it's evil.

Alice expression changed. She was now frowning. She turned to look at me and she pointed her perfectly manicured finger at me. "What did you do you little brat? He isn't himself!"

I frowned back at her and tried to look like I took more offence to that then I really did. "My fault? It's your fault and the choices you're going to make in the frigged up future! Don't go blaming this on me, you hoe!" I think I succeeded my goal quite nicely.

"I am not a hoe you stupid arrogant bastard!" She then did something I would have never pinned her down to do. She raised the palm of her hand, and slapped me across the face. My eyes began to water immediately. It wasn't as much as it hurt; it was more like I was embarrassed. Besides, I'm not stupid, arrogant or a bastard.

Hatter stepped in between her and me. "Un-Alice, you are no lounger needed here. I shall tell you to leave at once!" His voice was cold and it was full of hatred. He really was pissed at her. He has to care about me! I started to rejoice internally before remembering he might yell her now.

"Un-Alice? Hatter, please don't tell me you side with her. You barely know her! Plus, she's rude!" She said it in a light tone. As if they were talking about the frigging weather.

"Alice, leave at once! I've had my fill." His voice no contained too much emotion. Alice stormed of into the stormy night and I fallowed Hatter inside.

Hatter slumped down on a chair. He looked depressed and I wasn't sure what to do. I decided it was probably for the best if I tried to comfort him. So, I sat down beside him. Trying to decipher what was going on inside his overly complicated, yet overly innocent head.

"Your sad. Aren't you?" I said the most obvious and stupid words I could think of. I didn't wan to confuse him or hurt him any more. I just wanted to see him happy. Is that really so much to ask for?

"I'm not sad." His voice quivered and his eyes changed yellow. He was obviously lying. I put my hand on his shoulder and squeezed it. I've never comforted anybody before, so I wasn't sure I was doing a good job.

I kissed him on the cheek and walked into my room. I changed clothes and slipped into bed. Dreaming of the one and only mad hatter.

When I woke up, I could smell no food cooking and I could hear no voices downstairs. I slipped out of bed and looked outside. It was completely dark and it didn't look like the sun was going to come up any time soon. That fact didn't stop me from getting up and heading downstairs to fix myself some breakfast.

I walked into the living room and I saw a site I wish I could forget. Mad Hatter was balling his eyes out. He looked like he was going into hysterics, and I for one was really, really, really worried for him.

I walked over and sat on the floor so I could look into his eyes. Oh his eyes were no lounger green or yellow. They were a flat brown color. He must've been crying ever since I went to sleep. He must feel miserable!

"I have lost my muchness. I cannot hate Alice, even if she is now Un-Alice." Muchness? What the hell was he talking about? I kept pondering on what he said. He can't hate her, even though what she's going to do is obvious. Yet, he can't like her either. I understood his predicament, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I nodded and got up from the floor. I was going to make breakfast. Food for me and tea for him. I hope that would make him feel remotely better.

I thought about the pictures the queen had shown me. The only on that hasn't happened yet is the one were I'm drinking from the vial. But wait! Alice was in that picture too! And she was beside Alice! If I tell him it'll work out for the best maybe he'll stop moping around. I'll just have to not mention that it works out for the best for him and Alice, not me.

"Hatter, stop worrying. I know what happens after my adventure and you'll be quite pleased to know what happens." He looks up, his eyes turning gold. "And what will happened after the adventure you shall undertake?" He asked. I looked away from the teapot for a moment before taking a deep breath. I might as well tell him. It probably won't leave harm anything, right?

"I drink out of this vial thing. But that's beside the point. The point was that Alice was beside you in the drawing. Therefore I have reason to believe that maybe it works out for the best." I crack open a few eggs as I say this and I hear him get up abruptly from the couch, his expression still sullen. Maybe I shouldn't have told him.

"It is not better if you shall leave and return to the town that doesn't like you!"
