AN: The epilogue, at last. Warnings: WTF,
And as for the disclaimer, well...Lewis Carroll is male and dead. I'm female and alive. You know what that means.
Review please!
Epilogue: In Which It Ends
"So, why are we going in?" Alice asked. "It isn't really time to go to the room yet, is it?"
Nurse Monroe shook her head. "There was a medical seminar a few days ago, and one of the doctors we sent told a burn specialist from California about you, and now he wants to meet you."
"Is he going to take me back to California with him?" Alice asked.
Nurse Monroe giggled. "Maybe. If you make a good enough impression."
"I think that'd be good for me, don't you? There's too many memories around here for me to do any real emotional healing..." Alice murmured.
Nurse Monroe nodded, smiling a little sadly. "He's in there. Good luck."
Alice nodded to her and went through the door.
"Hello, Miss Walker." A cool male voice greeted. Alice looked at its owner and gasped. Edward Eldritch was seated across from her at the table, dressed as a doctor!
'No!' she reminded herself. 'Edward was only a dream.' Then she said, "Hello, Dr..."
"Eldritch. Edward Eldritch." He grinned cattily.
"Hello, Dr. Eldritch." Alice said tonelessly.
The doctor tsked. "Alice, you wound me. You said you loved me when we were battling the Queen of Hearts, and now here you are giving me the cold shoulder."
Alice gasped. "E-Edward? It really is...you?"
He grinned again, opening his arms. "Who else? Now give some sugar, as they say in the South."
She smiled and launched herself into his arms. "Oh, Edward! It really is you! I was so worried when I woke up here! I thought I had somehow made you up!" she gave a little sob of relief. "I love you. " After a few seconds, "But Edward, how did you...?"
"The White Queen helped set it up. She said not to come back unless it was something we both wanted. And I love you too, Alice. Now let's blow this Popsicle stand, huh?"
She nodded, and once they left the hospital, they drove into the sunset, putting Watertown at their backs forever."
AN: Well, that's the end of the story. Review and tell me what you thought, huh? Side note: Nurse Monroe is a cameo of Dinah Wherever from Bizenghast getting married to Vincent Monroe.
