I'm sooo sorry that this took so long to post. I had a little bit of writers block. I get it frequently so don't expect anything else. I also had to think of vows for the wedding. And I was really really busy! But I hope you enjoy this chapter! Tell your friends about my story please! If I have more reviews then it gives me confidence to keep writing. So if there are no comments, then I don't write anymore. But I also think that the next chapter is going to be AWESOME!

I couldn't believe I was about to become Alice Hightopp in only one day. Our wedding day is tomorrow, and Tarrant was as excited as I was.

"I can't believe it! You're going to be a Hightopp! I will no longer be the last one! You're not a Hightopp by blood but you're going to be married to me! And once we have children then they will be more Hightopps!" He was rambling on about.

"Hatter!" I gasped. "Did you just say what I think you said?" I was exasperated by what he had just said.

"I'm fine." He squeaked. He smiled and looked back at me with his eyes just returning back to green. "Now, what did I say?"

"You mean you don't remember anything you just said?" I asked.

He seemed to think about it for a moment. Then his eyes got wide and his hand flew up to cover his mouth.

"Alice!" he said. "I'm sorry! I had no idea what I was saying!" I took his hand from his mouth and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Tarrant, it's fine. I was just surprised you would actually bring it up. I figured you thought it was not proper to talk about it. I'm really fine with it. It's not like I haven't thought about it before. Actually… It's a little embarrassing but, I already thought of names in my spare time." I said blushing.

"Oh, really? And what would those names be?" He asked.

"Michelle for a girl, and for a boy, Sam." He smiled and pulled me closer to him.

"I think those are wonderful names. At least now we know what to call them. The other day I was thinking about this but I told myself not to think about such things and that I am to let you decide when it is to happen but I can't help but just think a little bit about it-"

"Hatter." I mumbled.

"I'm fine. Sorry lass. It's so hard for me to keep those from happening. But if you weren't around then I suppose that they would just keep going. You keep me grounded, Alice." He said.

"You also keep me grounded, my dear Hatter." I said. It was really early in the morning. I had woken up around 5:30 a.m. But Tarrant had been up before me. I looked at the moon and thought of a riddle to ask him.

"Never old, sometimes new. Never sad, sometimes blue. Never empty, sometimes full. Never pushes, always pulls." I said. He pretended to think about it. Then he smiled.

"The moon!" He answered. I nodded.

"You're too good at these." I said. "Although I can't seem to figure out why a raven is like a writing desk." He laughed in that mad way.

"That's why I ask everybody that! It messes with them like they mess with me!" he said.

"But you always ask me that, and I have never messed with you." I replied.

"Aye, but Alice, ye have. More than you will ever know, lass." I was kind of hurt by that. What had I ever done to him? I guess he could see that I was hurt, because his eyes widened again, and he rushed closer to me and hugged me.

"Oh, no, Alice. That isn't what I meant. You didn't mess with me in bad ways, it was always a good way. You messed with my heart, you told it you loved me and kept it that way. I'm sorry if what I said hurt you." He apologized. I put my head on his shoulder. A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Alice! Why are you crying?" He panicked. "Oh, Alice. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry!" I laughed a little at that.

"I'm not upset, Hatter." I said. "I'm happy. Happy that you love me so much as to comfort me after doing something so small to barely hurt me. The men up where I come from wouldn't even apologize for hurting me badly. They would likely scold me for crying." I looked at him and saw that his eyes had turned orange.

"Guddlers scuttish… they should be ashamed of themselves! Treating woman up there as they do!" He said.

"Hatter…" I started. "Please don't… well; it's just that the men who have proposed to me have always been like that." But that just made him even more upset.

"Alice, how many men have proposed to you? Hmmm?" he said accusingly. I was also starting to get mad by this point.

"Um… I don't know… a few! I cant remember the exact number!" I yelled.

"Off course you cant!" he shouted. "Too many men proposing to you to keep track!" I was actually in shock. We had never fought before. Especially not like this. At this point in the argument, I saw that Hatter had knocked over a hat stand, night stand, and all the pillows and sheets on the bed. Anger kept on boiling inside of me. It clouded my vision, until I saw that tears were coming to my eyes.

It was then that I realized what was going on. I shook my head, making a few tears spill over my cheeks. I ran over to him and put my hands on both sides of his face like I had when we were in the Red Queens castle and Tarrant was making hats for her. It wasn't a good memory for either of us.

"Hatter!" I said. He looked at me with red eyes before they softened and turned back to green. I took my hands from his face and wrapped them around his neck, hugging him. It wasn't long before he had his arms around me.

"Hatter I'm sorry. Its just, it makes me so upset to think that you might be jealous of those men! I love you Tarrant. Not any of them, just you." I told him.

"I suppose I was jealous." He said. "I'm sorry to Alice. But I really can't control my emotions after they have been set off. Especially anger." I pulled back. He leaned forward and kissed me.

"Miss Alice? Mr. Hightopp?" I heard a shaky voice ask. "Oh, excuse me. I didn't mean to…"

" Its all right, McTwisp. What do you need?" I asked pulling away from Tarrant.

"The Queen has asked to see each of you. She is in the main hall." He replied.

"Thank you Nivens." Hatter said. McTwisp departed and Tarrant pulled me back to him.

"I really would rather stay here and continue," I said. "But we need to go." He reluctantly let go of me.

"I suppose we do." He said. We walked hand in hand out of the room.

When we walked into the main hall we saw Mirana waiting there for us.

"Thank you for coming. I would like to talk to you three each individually." She said.

"Three? But me and Hatter are the only ones here." I said, confused. I looked to the side and saw that there was a pair of eyes floating right next to me. I squealed when I saw them and jumped back into Tarrant. I let out a big puff of breath when I saw Chessur's full body next to me.

"Chess! You bloody cat! You almost gave me a heart attack!" I said. I covered my mouth and looked up at Tarrant who was still mad at Chessur for scaring me so badly.

"Have I made a rhyme?" I whispered. He looked down at me and his eyes turned from yellow back to green.

"I believe you have." He whispered back.

"Sorry to give you such a fright love. Didn't mean to." Chessur said. There were some times when I just couldn't stay mad at him, so I started scratching him behind the ear. No one ever did that to him so it made him especially happy.

"But first," The White Queen continued. "I heard quite a bit of shouting and crashing coming from your room. Is everything ok?"

"Just a small spat!" Tarrant said. "It's over though. Nothing to be worried about Your Majesty."

"All right then, if you say so. Now, the first person I would like to speak with is Alice." Of course it was me she wanted to talk to first.

I followed Mirana just down to the end of the hallway. The she stopped and turned to me.

"Alice, I'm not trying to stop you, I'm just asking that you think about all of this before it happens. I can't stop you now especially, the day before the wedding. But I just want you to be ready. After people are married they tend to get into even more fights then they did before. Especially with Tarrant's mood swings. So, just prepare yourself." She said.

"Mirana, I'm going to be fine. I'm sure that me and Tarrant will get into a few fights, but nothing to bring us apart!" I said.

"I know, it's just… Alice, you're pretty much my sister. I want to protect you."

"Well, so does Tarrant."

"Yes…okay. You know what you are doing. We can return." She finally said. I nodded and we walked back.

When Mirana came back with Chessur after talking with him, she took Tarrant. I was alone with Chessur.

"So…what did she talk to you about?" I asked. It had started to get a little awkward just standing here with him.

"Just about what was going to happen tomorrow." He replied. He was smiling, but not his usual big one. Within moments, Tarrant was back. He came back smiling. Just a regular smile. He smiled whenever he saw me. I loved it. I loved everything about him. He was my Hatter. And I was his Alice.

Mirana thanked us for coming, and let us depart. Chess floated away, off to go see Mally. I sometimes wondered about those two. But, a cat and a mouse together? Impossible. Then again, this is Wonderland. I honestly thought they were cute together.

Me and Hatter continued down the hall to our room.

"I don't know about you," Hatter stated. "But I think that Mally and Chess are starting to… like each other. They have been making up excuses to go see one another whenever they can."

"You read my mind. But I think it's been going on a little longer than we think." I said.

"Possibly. I know our relationship started even before we knew it!" He replied, smiling again. We reached our room and were now inside. As I made sure no one was around to interrupt, I twisted myself around in Tarrant's arms and kissed him. He laughed and so did I. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me closer. It was just a soft sweet kiss. Then, for just a moment, I imagined what it would be like to kiss…Hamish. The thought had me almost cracking up, so I had to pull away from Hatter.

He looked at me, confused, as I laughed my head off.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"I'd rather not say." I said, wiping a tear from my eye. I was hardly breathing.

"Why not?"

"I don't want you to get upset like last time."

"I've learned. I'm sure I can handle it. Please?" he begged.

"Well, it involves Hamish." I giggled. He gave me a confused smile.

"Hamish? The man who proposed to you?" He asked.

"Yes. While we were kissing, I thought about kissing Hamish, and laughed just because he's so ugly!" I started cracking up again. And to my surprise, Tarrant started giggling.

"Well, I'm glad you didn't find that image to be appealing!" he laughed.

"Appealing? Darling, this is Hamish we are talking about here. I realize you have never met him, but with a name like Hamish then you should be able to get a pretty good picture of what he looks like!" I said.

'Oh, I can just imagine it! Alice Ascot!" he said. "That was his last name right?"

"Yes. And I prefer Alice Hightopp over Alice Ascot each and every day." I said, smiling. His eyes gleamed and were now… Magenta. I had never seen that color in them before.

"Hatter?" I asked.

"Hmm?" he murmured.

"Your eyes, love." I said.

"Oh, what color are they now?" he asked sarcastically.

"Magenta." I said.

"Ah, well you see Alice, that is even better than blue. I just love hearing you say Alice Hightopp." He said.

"Well, if just saying Alice Hightopp, then what does this do?" I asked slyly. I placed a small kiss on his mouth.

"It does more than I can say." He mumbled. We spent the rest of the day getting ready for the wedding, and doing more 'things' together. And when it came to be night, we made love for the first time.

Hatter POV

I couldn't help but smile as soon as I woke up. Last night was the best night of my life, not day, night. For reasons that I won't explain. But today was the best day ever. Today was mine and Alice's wedding day. Alice's head was on my chest as I lay on my back with my hand behind my head. She was cuddled up to me, and I gently stroked her hair with my other free hand. When she woke up, she looked up at me with her sparkling blue eyes.

"Good morning." She whispered. I smiled.

Alice POV

I felt so content. If it's possible to feel anything while sleeping. But the content ness stopped and then continued when I woke up. I looked up at Tarrant with blurry eyes.

"Good morning." I whispered. He smiled.

"Today you are officially Alice Hightopp." He said.

"Not yet, Hatter. We still have a few more hours." I said, tapping him on the nose. He let out a mad laugh.

"Now, do you suppose we should get up?" he asked. I nodded. He got up out of the bed and lifted me up by the waist.

We got dresses and went downstairs for breakfast. As we sat down at the table, Mirana came running in clapping her hands and smiling.

"Today's the day! Yay!" she squealed. Me and Tarrant tried to hold in our laughter. But she calmed down and smoothed out her dress, and took her seat. "I'm sorry. Its just that I've been waiting for this forever!" she said. McTwisp walked in at that moment to join us. The rabbit who assumed he was never late and always on time. The word Time made me think of something. Wasn't Time different down here than it was back in London? How long has it been since I left? In Underland it had only been little over a month. Even though me and my mother had been having some disagreements, the thought of her worrying about me made me a little sick to my stomach.

"McTwisp?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Um, since I returned, how long has it been in my world?"

"Hmmm… I would say about a year." He said. My face paled and I felt like I was going to throw up.

"Alice, what's wrong love?" Hatter asked, putting his hand on mine.

"My mother." I said. "When I left, I left without telling my mother. I left a letter, but it said I was going to Wonderland, and I doubt she will believe that. She probably thinks I'm dead." Tarrant's face grew worried, but then he smiled.

"If you would like, sometime after we are married, we could go up and visit her. Tell her all about what has happened and what you did to save Underland. Okay?" he said. I smiled back at him.

"Yes! That would be wonderful! I will tell her, but she won't believe me. But when I introduce you, she will. But I'm going to bring you, McTwisp. Just in case." I said.

"Oh, yes! I look forward to meeting your mother!" he exclaimed. After our discussion, we finished breakfast as soon as everyone else came in. we had about five hours until the wedding. The rest of the day was spent with me getting my dress on, and not letting Tarrant see me in it.

Then finally the time came.

Everybody was gathered outside and I was getting the finishing touches put on me. My dress was on, and so was the veil. The back of my hair was pinned back, and my shoes were on, white high heels. I knew that Tarrant would be standing there under the alter waiting for me. Butterflies were attacking my stomach.

Alice Hightopp, Alice Hightopp… I kept repeating the name in my head. It calmed the butterflies a little bit.

I walked to the door, waiting for it to open. Mirana was my maid of honor, of course. Breathing in and out, in and out, I almost started hyper-venalating. Eventually the doors opened and I walked into the isle in front of the castle. Veil covering my face, music playing, cheeks turning red, I looked at my husband-to-be. All embarrassed thoughts flew away. Tarrant stood there, looking at me with the biggest smile on his face ever. I loved it. The suit he wore was a tuxedo, by tradition. But I had forced him to keep his hat on for this and keep his hair just about the same. I finally got to the alter and stood in front of Tarrant.

Ok so I have no clue what the preacher says during this point so I'll do my best. "May we please have the rings?" he said. Chessur brought up the rings, we said our vows, and put the rings on. The whole time Hatter looked at me with blue eyes, and a sweet smile.

Skipping some preacher talk and jumping to the point. Gimme a break I've only been to one wedding in my life and it was when I was like 5. "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Hatter picked me up and pressed his mouth to mine. Everybody at the wedding cheered and clapped and cried. Mirana was especially happy. She couldn't hold back the tears.

"We've made it. Alice Hightopp." He whispered against my lips. I laughed with pure joy. We broke the kiss, knowing we would have to at one point. The guests went insane.

When the time for dancing came, I only danced with Tarrant. And we danced our hearts out.

I hope you enjoyed this. The next chapter probably won't be up for a while. I've been too lazy to write, plus school and being in 8th grade and all. But as Alice said in the first chapter, I am deliriously happy because I bought the double DVD pack of how to train your dragon the minute I got out of school on the day it came out! XDXDXDXDXD I got in the car when my mom picked us up from the bus stop and was like "DRIVE MOM DRIVE!" enough of this though. (Oh I'm writing a story for how to train your dragon so when I get it up online I will let you all know in case you wanna read it!) thank you!
