5. Falling

Lovely. Just lovely, an extremely irritated Alice thought as she scourged the park. What was she looking for exactly? Her boyfriend, Hatter. And if he was just a regular guy, she wouldn't have been so worried, but this wasn't some average guy. Hatter was her mad, although adorable, boyfriend from another world very different than her own. Could he handle himself? Yes. Could everyone else handle him? Alice didn't want to find out that answer.

"Hatter?" She called out.

Today hadn't turned out the way she had suspected, although ever since Hatter came into her life things rarely anything did. The last time they went out she had forced Hatter to go to a family party, and even though they had a surprisingly good time, Hatter vetoed the idea of letting Alice chose the date. Instead, he would plan it. And although Alice had qualms about it, she agreed.

His first morning plan should have been an omen of the trouble she would receive today. As Alice sat down on a nearby bench, she recalled how the day had started.


(earlier that day)

"Hatter?" Alice tried to ask, but it came out as a mumble because it seemed that her voice didn't want to cooperate with her this early in the morning. "Go away and let me sleep."

"Come on, love, it's time to wake up." Hatter said in a gentle yet amused voice. It wasn't everyday he appeared more mature than his girlfriend.

After his insistent pleading for her to wake up, Alice finally managed to wake up and sit up straight in her bed. Hatter gave her a quick peck on the lips before disappearing into another room to retrieve something.

Alice got down from the bed and stretched, relieving stress from her body. Hatter was always so active and cheerful, it was no surprise that he was a morning person. He would always wake up before Alice and either be making breakfast or relaxing in the bed with her, enjoying the peacefulness.

"Alice." Hatter called her from another room.

"What is it, Hatter?"

"You said I could plan everything out on this date, right?" He asked, his voice getting louder as he came closer to the bedroom.

Alice could tell something bad was going to happen since he had emphasized the word 'everything', but they had agreed. Besides, Hatter could really be sweet, even if it went over the top.

"I suppose, why are yo-" but she couldn't finish her question because she finally saw what Hatter was holding, and then she noticed what he was wearing. It was like she was back in Wonderland because Hatter was wearing the exact same clothes he wore when he met her. What was even more shocking was that he was holding her outfit as well.

Alice was about to argue, but Hatter shoved the clothes into her hands.

"Just trust me, love."

And after that, all she could do was stare at her clothes for a moment before going into the bathroom to change.


Alice sighed deeply and around her. She saw kids running around and singing silly songs, adults talking, couples holding hands and…suddenly Alice gasped in surprise. She bit her lip as she continued to gaze upon the site.

As she made her way to the tree, she heard a bunch of kids laughing, saying that there was a man stuck up there. She went closer to the large tree, where she finally found him, sitting on a high branch, whistling.

"Hatter, what are you doing?" Alice asked her boyfriend.

He smiled once he saw her, and simply replied "Enjoying the view from up here."

She slowly walked around the large tree, placing her hand on it. "And you couldn't have done that from down here? I was looking for you, you know?"

His smile grew wider, "I know."

"You know?"

"Yes, and I also know that if you continue to stay down there while we talk, your neck is going to hurt. So, to spare you from your future neck pain why don't you come up here?" Hatter said holding back a laugh as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Why don't you come down here instead?" she challenged, starting to feel a slight pain in her neck. Stupid Hatter she thought.

"I asked you first." He said coyly.

She looked from the bottom of the tree then to where Hatter was. It didn't seem to be too hard to climb on, but would she actually climb it?

She turned her attention to him again, "You do know that I am in a dress, right?"

"Well, I guess that means you have to come up here quickly then." He laughed at the angry look Alice shot at him, so in a less teasing tone he said "It'll be worth it, Alice."

"It better be." She said, more to herself rather than Hatter as she began to climb the tree. Hatter just watched her with an amused and slightly awed expression, at the rate she was climbing. She really was strong and fast for such a little thing.

Once she finally reached the branch he took her hand to help her. She was able to, with some difficulty, get on the branch with Hatter holding her steady from behind. She looked down and felt a jolt of fear run through her, but once Hatter cradled her in his arms it was gone.

After a few minutes of enjoying the scenery in comfortable silence Alice asked, "Are you sure it's safe up here?"

"Not completely." He said but he slightly tightened his grip around her when he felt her stiffen, "But if we fall, I'll make sure that you'll be okay. Besides, falling isn't always so bad, love."

They talked more about trivial and random things, but for some reason she couldn't get Hatter's words out of her head.

Hatter's voice pulled her focus back on him. "What did you say?"

He gave her a little smirk but said, "Look at the sunset."

And there it was, a gorgeous sunset. An array of colors flooded the sky as the sun when down, and from where they were sitting they were able to still see the natural beauty of the park. Alice couldn't remember the last time she stopped to appreciate the view of anything.

"You planned all of this?"

He chuckled, "Of course not. You can't plan every little thing, Alice. Sometimes, you just have to enjoy the moment and lighten up."

He kept talking, but Alice was lost in her thoughts again. No one but Hatter would do this kind of thing, then again Alice wouldn't do this with anyone but Hatter. If it were someone else, Jack or any of her other boyfriends, she would have been scared to come up here. She had always been afraid of highest and falling, but whenever she was with Hatter she just wasn't. Not anymore. But the ironic thing about it was that she wasn't scared of falling with him because she had already fallen for him.

She smiled to herself at her own little discovery.

"Alice, are you even listening to me?"

"No," she ignored his slightly offended look, "but I realized you can be right sometimes."

He rolled his eyes playfully, "Thank you for your ever so kind words, love."

Yes, falling really didn't seem too bad now.
