Alice had one of the most adorable habits Hatter had ever encountered: she sang while she cleaned. Whether along with the radio box or by herself, sweeping the hall or a manic cleaning spree, a song danced across her lips. Today, she was washing dishes.

He usually paid no mind to what she was singing, just enjoyed the sounds of Home, but something in the chorus caught his attention. He followed the sound into the kitchen, certain he had misheard. When the chorus came around again, he let loose the most undignified snort to ever leave his lips.

By the time Alice caught on and turned around, Hatter was using the counter to hold himself up. Curiosity was written on every inch of her face. What could possibly be that funny? He pulled himself together long enough to sputter "Money can't buy you love!" before surrendering to gravity.


AN: This idea was the original insperation for What's in a Name. The story had other ideas (obviously) so I had to write this to let it out.

Feedback/ideas are required if this fic is going to continue. Seriously, I'm out. Thumbs up or down would be nice too.
