I came out from the room Hatter had disappeared to. Turned out it was his bedroom. I had changed into my undercover outfit and looked to Hatter for approval. His response was a smile and a hat, identical in shape to his, but was dark green with a black flower on the side.

I put it on and smiled.

"Alrightey then," Hatter said, "You'll start tomorrow. Here's what you need to know…"

Chapter 4

"Alright, ere's the main rules to runnin' the shop," Hatter began, "You don't let the customers boss you around, what you say is law.

"The price is always right, if anyone says different then they're wrong.

"Don't make friends wit any of the customers, it might lead others to think they're getting a discount and we don't really want anyone ta know bout you. Got it?"

"Got it," I said.

"Now we cant go around calling you anything similar to the name you 'ave now, so…what shall we name you?"

"Uhhh… I've never been good at coming up with names and stuff like that."

"Hmmm… 'ow bout…. Felicity?"

"No," I said bluntly, what the hell kinda name is Felicity?

"Bianca?"

"No."

"Ingrid?"

"NO!" Hatter chuckled then laid down on the white couch. He closed his eyes, then stared at me, then closed them again. He stayed like that for what seemed like forever.

"Um…Hatter?" I asked, thinking he fell asleep. I leaned over him and waved my hand in his face. "Hatter?"

"Harmony," he said.

"What?" I asked confused, and he opened his eyes.

"Your name, Harmony."

I titlted my head to the side and thought it over.

"Okay."

…………………………….

About ten minutes later, Hatter sent me out to keep an eye in the customers while he went to run errands, promising that when he came back we would begin my combat lessons. After about another ten minutes, I came to the conclusion babysitting the customers was boring and dull, and I was desperate for something to happen. Finally something did.

I heard shouting and I glanced over to where that short man with glasses was announcing new products and prices. I saw this unbelievably fat woman with ridiculous make up. I mean her eye shadow was a bright red that reached all the way to her thin eyebrows. Don't get me started on her lipstick, it's just too ugly to describe.

"That price is wrong!" The fat woman shouted, waving her pudgy fist at the tiny man, "Lust has never been so high!"

"I assure you madam, the price is right," the man said, but she wouldn't listen.

"Well I assure you the price is WRONG!"

"Ahem," I coughed loudly enough for her to hear, "Is there a problem?"

"None that you can solve," fatty retorted, and turned back to midget, "I demand to see who's in charge!"

"That would be me," I announced. Everyone got quiet.

"Ridiculous, I believe I remember Hatter being in charge," she said.

"Well he's away right now and left ME in charge," I smiled sweetly at her.

"Well then, I believe you have the wrong price for Lust," she said smugly.

"No ma'am the price is quite right," I said, "But instead of Lust, why don't you buy Beauty instead? It might just help you with you men problems."

"Excuse me?!" she shrieked.

"Oh I think you heard me and if you continue this embarrassing distraction, I will have you escorted out of this shop," I turned around and spoke to the rest of the customers, "And that goes for everyone else too. If anyone dare says the price or me is wrong, then they will get no more of their precious tea." I turned back to the lady and smiled innocently, "And next time look in the mirror while doing your make up, it will do wonders."

She glarer murderously at me, declared she will never come back, and huffed and puffed her way out of the door. It was funny actually, as soon as she left, business continued, as if she never disturbed it.

I felt proud of myself, and decided that the customers got my message. I went through the door and found Hatter moving furniture to the side. He looked at me and saw the question on my face.

"Change back to the clothes you had on previously," he said and smiled. He had this weird gleam in his eye and I knew what he was going to say next, "It's time to begin your training."

The only thing that entered my mind was: Aw hell.
