A/N: Hey! Another chapter coming up!

Hatter's mission was to bring Elizabeth to the balcony. He searched for her both inside and outside the house. Elizabeth was in the garden walking to an oak tree that was right next to a greenhouse. She put her head down. Tears started to drop from her eyes.

"I knew I would find you here", said the White Queen.

Elizabeth lifted her head. She wiped her tears away from her face.

"Are you ok, dear?" asked the Queen.

"No, your highness", said Elizabeth, "I feel ignored."

She started to walk towards the tree where Elizabeth was. The Queen put her hand on the oak tree.

"You know, I have a feeling that the Hatter is looking for you", said the Queen.

Elizabeth looked at her if she was joking.

"Are you sure?" asked Elizabeth.

"I am sure", said the White Queen.

They stared at each other for a second.

"Well, I must be on my way", said the Queen.

Elizabeth jumped down from the tree and bowed.

"Good bye, your highness", said Elizabeth.

"Thank you", said the Queen.

She walked away from Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked at the oak tree, and she took off running to the entrance of the garden.

Where was Elizabeth? Hatter was worried. The White Queen told him that she was coming. Hatter felt stupid for ignoring her.

"Patience, Hatter", said the Queen.

"How can I have patience when she ran away like that?" asked the Hatter.

"Well, that was your problem", answered the Queen.

Hatter paced back and forth on the grass. Then, he heard a footstep in the grass at the front of the entrance of the garden. Hatter walked to the garden, hoping it was Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth?" called out Hatter.

"No, I am not the mini Alice, my love", said the Red Queen.

Hatter looked surprised and angry.

"What are you doing here, your highness?" asked Hatter.

"Oh, I heard it was the mini Alice's birthday", said the Red Queen.

"Well, I see you came", said the White Queen.

"Yes, I have", said the Red Queen, "I have a present for her."

"What might the present be?" asked the White Queen.

"Oh, it's a surprise", the Red Queen replied.

Elizabeth was right behind the Red Queen.

"Oh, your highness", said Elizabeth.

The Red Queen smiled, and quickly turned.

"Ah, you made it", said the Red Queen.

The Red Queen came closer to her, and she slapped her. Hatter yelled in anger.

"HOW COULD YOU HIT HER LIKE THAT?" screamed the Hatter.

The Red Queen didn't listen to him. Elizabeth's left cheek was bleeding. Elizabeth looked angrily at the Red Queen.

"Why did you do that?" asked Elizabeth.

"That was a warning", said the Red Queen, "Give up the Hatter, he will never be yours!"

The Red Queen's hand was flying towards Elizabeth's left cheek, but Elizabeth interfered.

"Let go of my hand!" she screamed.

She held her left arm and was going to hit her. Elizabeth let go of her arm and ran to the Hatter.

"Hatter, I have my answer", said Elizabeth.

"What is your answer?" asked the Hatter very curiously.

"I will-", said Elizabeth.

"NO DON'T SAY IT!" screamed the Red Queen.

She ran to her at great speed, Elizabeth didn't have the time to say anything.

Elizabeth jumped away from Hatter, and Hatter jumped with her. The Red Queen went into a bush full of roses.

"Argh!" screamed the Red Queen, "Save me!"

No one moved. The Red Queen got up. She was full with roses, which it tore through her dress.

"I will get you, Elizabeth!" screamed the Red Queen.

Her face was burning with anger.

"Red Queen, get off this land", said Elizabeth.

The Queen stomped away from the rose bush. She stopped at the Hatter.

"Hatter, you see how mean she is", said the Queen, "If you could-."

"No, I love Elizabeth, not you, good bye your highness", said Hatter.

The Red Queen had tears in her eyes, she ran away into the garden. It was quiet between Hatter and Elizabeth. Then Hatter turned and looked at the total darkness in the garden.

"Hatter, what are you looking at?" asked Elizabeth.

"Now!" exclaimed Dodo.

The lights went up.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" screamed the guests.

Elizabeth was filled with joy.

"You actually remembered?" asked Elizabeth.

"Of course we did", said Dodo, "You are part of our family now."

Elizabeth had tears in her eyes. Hatter looked at her and wiped the blood away from her cheek.

"Happy Birthday, Elizabeth", said Hatter softly.

Elizabeth hugged Hatter.

"Thank you, Hatter", said Elizabeth.

"Let the party begin!" exclaimed Dodo.

After the party was finished, Hatter and Elizabeth thanked the guests for coming. After they left, Hatter guided Elizabeth to his workshop.

"Come inside", said Hatter.

Elizabeth went inside the dark room. Hatter turned on his lamp.

"I have a present just for you", said Hatter.

"Oh Hatter, you didn't have to get me anything", said Elizabeth.

"Well too late, you told me to do this, and I did", said Hatter.

Elizabeth looked confused. Hatter sat her in a chair and went to a wardrobe.

He opened it. There was a beautiful blue dress, with a black bow in the middle. Elizabeth was amazed.

"You actually finished it", said Elizabeth.

"Not quite", said Hatter, "I feel like something is missing."

"It's perfect!" said Elizabeth, "There is nothing more to improve!"

"Then wear the dress, please", said the Hatter.

"I don't know", said Elizabeth.

"Please?" pleaded Hatter.

"Fine", said Elizabeth.

Elizabeth went into the dressing room and changed. When she came out, she was beautiful like a diamond.

"Now I know what is missing!" cried out Hatter.

"What is it?" asked Elizabeth.

"This", said Hatter.

He brought out a necklace and put it around her. Elizabeth didn't move an inch while Hatter was putting the necklace on her.

"Hatter, can I take this off now?" asked Elizabeth.

"OF course, you must be tired", answered Hatter.

After she changed, they went to Hatter's room.

"Hatter, I still have to tell you", said Elizabeth.

"Your answer is?" asked Hatter.

Elizabeth hesitated and took a deep breath.

"I will say yes", said Elizabeth.

Hatter looked pleased.

"My answer is a yes, my dear", said Hatter.

Elizabeth sighed with relief.

"Ok then, it's settled", said Elizabeth.

She walked away and went to the bed. She pulled the covers over her head. Hatter went to her.

"Are you embarrassed?" asked Hatter.

"Yes, but happy", said Elizabeth.

Hatter pulled the covers. Elizabeth was looking up at him. Hatter went down slowly.

This time no one would interrupt him. Then there was a big flash of lightning. Hatter paused. Elizabeth had fear in her eyes. She was about to pull the covers again, but Hatter stopped her. He picked her up and carried her to a different room, where there was no window. He plopped her down on the floor.

"Are you scared?" asked Hatter.

"Yes, I am", said Elizabeth.

Hatter looked at her.

"Well, don't worry, you can't hear any sound from outside", he said.

"Thank you, Hatter", said Elizabeth.

"Try to get some sleep", said Hatter.

"I can't, Hatter", said Elizabeth.

"Why?" asked Hatter.

Elizabeth looked down. She was still shaking from the lighting that she saw.

Hatter went over to her and hugged her. Hatter looked at her lips. He slowly went towards her.

This time, no one was going to stop him. No interruptions. Hatter finally could do it
