Sorry for the wait. I hope you enjoy it.

Third Person POV

A week has passed since the Queen and Hatter began faced their feelings, beginning their secret relationship. Both took to the change as though they had never been separated and had always been honest and strait forward about their feelings for one another. Alice is still stuck in the dark though on days like today it seems harder and harder for the couple to keep their friends out in the dark.

In their hide away the group sat bored, trying to escape the summer heat that enveloped the country side this time of year. Alice laid in front of the Hatter and Queen, while the couple sat with their backs to the large tree stump, leaning ever so slightly into each other enough to show affection but not enough to create and uncomfortable atmosphere or assumptions from Alice.

"Truth or dare?" Alice asked starring up at the leaves enclosing their hide away.

'I'll get them to realize their feelings this way. It should work I men they both sid they'd never lie to me..' Where Alice's thoughts during the silence that proceeded her question.

Giving each other questioning glances. "Uhh..Dear I do not understand." The Queen spoke up.

"We go around and ask 'truth or dare' to each other. When someone picks truth the person who asked the question must ask a question that the other person has to answer truthfully. And with dare it starts out the same way except instead of a question the person must do a dare created by the person asked." Alice replied

Trying to understand but not completely grasping the concept the couple accepted and they sat in a circle on the forest floor.

"I'll go first." Alice said smirking. 'This I'll be a piece of cake.' "Mirana, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth." Mirana shrugged not quite willing to be the first to choose dare.

"You know what..how about we just play truth." The hatter spoke trying to make sure he or Miran won't get dared to go ask someone out or something equally hurtful to their relationship.

'I'll start out slowly and build up to the big question.' Alice thought

"Sounds good.....Hmmmm....Whose your best friend?"

Thinking over if her answer would reveal anything Mirana answered truthfully, "Tarrant." Her words granting her a small smile from both the hatter and Alice.

"Now you ask one of us." Alice coaxed

'I already know everything about Hatter but I have no idea what I could ask Alice.' Thought Mirana.

"Hatter?" She questioned

"Yes, my queen."

Realizing Alice's plan Mirana questioned, "Who do you like?"

Also catching on and understanding the wink his love had given him he answered, "No one."

Mirana smiled and nodded to the Hatter trying to hold back the burst of laughter.

Alice sat shocked how could he say that its obvious he likes her, how is she still smiling she likes him and he just basically refused her." Alice thought frantically

"Mirana, same question. Who do you like?"

The queen put on her best thinking face and answered, "No one." Making them both smirk. Looking at Alice, mirana decided to retire for the night before the poor girl could burst. "It seems to be getting rather late my friends, let us retire for the night."

Months have passed and we find the group sitting in their hide away once again the trio is hiding, this time from the many guests in the palace. This time two rings combine the Hatter and Queen into a marriage, but contrary to most marriages around them between royalty theirs is one filled with love and hope.

"I don't understand." Alice said, "Just a few months ago you said you didn't like each other. What changed?"

Looking toward each other the Hatter replied, "Nothing changed my dear." At her shocked face and knowing what she was thinking he continued, "We did marry for love, but we did not merely like each other then. We loved each other."
