Hatter's Holiday Part 1

Hatter shivered for what felt like the millionth time. He shoved his hands deeper into his pockets, as if that would make him warmer. He didn't understand why everyone seemed so giddy during this month. The only things that happened in December, from what he had learned, was that it became freezing, snow fell from the sky causing inconveniences for people, and a rush for shopping. But despite all of that, it seemed that everyone enjoyed all of it. Nothing added up in his head.

Hatter sighed and decided that he would never truly understand oysters. It was then that he realized he had lost sight of his own little oyster. He managed to spot her purple jacket (the same coat he had given her in Wonderland) and quickly ran towards her. Big mistake.

He was never an outdoors kind of guy, he preferred to stay inside with a nice cup of tea. Besides, there was nothing to do outdoors in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts made sure of that. So, while Hatter was running he failed to notice the sheet of ice on the sidewalk. He ended up on his back, head throbbing and hatless.

"Hatter!" Alice blurted out, momentarily forgetting to call him David.

As she carefully made her way towards him hatter was beginning to get his senses back. He sat up and felt the back of his head to make sure it didn't have any bumps. Alice stopped right in front of him and picked up his hat.

"Drop something?" She teased as she held the hat in front of him.

He flashed her a mock smile before grabbing his hat and plopping it back on his head. She giggled at the annoyed, almost pouty, look on his face before extending her hand once again to help him get up. He took the hand and was back on his feet in seconds.

"You should be more careful, it could've been a lot worse than just a bump on the head."

"Well whose fault was it for rushing around and leaving me behind." He asked.

"Your own," Alice said simply, "You should have been paying more attention."

Hatter blushed but his cheeks were already red from the cold so Alice didn't notice. "I didn't even want to come here." He muttered.

Alice squeezed his hand, making Hatter realize that their hands were still intertwined. Hatter smiled to himself, such small hands, yet they can make mine warm.

"I know you didn't want to come, but I'm glad you did." She said as they continued to walk down the street in search of new stores.

"And why is that? Do you just enjoy my company that much or do you just need someone to lug around your bags like a 'vassal' should." Hatter said, remember the time Charlie had called him a vassal. For some reason Charlie's little nicknames for him had begun to grow on him, not that he'd ever admit it.

"Well that obvious of course," Alice said look straight ahead, "I needed you to carry everything. I might be strong but carrying around shopping bags will get tiring. I couldn't let Charlie or my mom do that so you were my obvious choice." Alice finally faced him.

His response was to raise an eyebrow and say, "Is that so? Well I guess I better start carrying the presents now."

Alice looked at him, perplexed, but that changed into a lock of shock once he picked her up bridal style and continued walking. Alice didn't know whether to be embarrassed or enjoy the moment, nothing like this had ever happened before. Apparently spectators were very mixed about this too, for some just gave odd stares while other cooed about how cute and romantic it was, but overall they did receive a lot of attention.

"I don't remember being anyone's Christmas present, so could you put me down?" Alice said after the shock wore off.

"Silly Alice, you're my gift of course."

She rolled her eyes as he gave her a small smirk. "Cute, but now put me down. I don't feel like being on tonight's news cast as 'a Very Merry Couple' or something like that.'

"I see your point, but you have to give me something first. I think that seems fair." He said smiling at the girl in his arms. Alice laughed a bit before putting her hands on the side of his face, bring it down closer to hers. Hatter closed his and waited only to have his head be turned at the last second to receive a kiss on the cheek.

She took advantage of his momentary confusion and jumped out of his arms. She couldn't control her laughter once he had realized what had happened.

"That's not fair." He said pointedly.

She merely shrugged and smiled up at him. "Too bad, we won't get anything done if we keep going like this."

Hatter sighed, cold once again. "That's what I was hoping for."

"Come on, after this we have to go see my mom and get ready for the holiday." Alice said as she began to enter the nearest store.

"And the news keeps getting better and better." Hatter mumbled as he thought of the long day ahead of him.
