Alice

And there I was again; back in the Casino, in custody, but this time things were worse. I had found my father, but he didn't remember me, or mom, or anything. I found out that Jack had lied to me from the beginning. I was possibly going to be put to death (the Queen said she always liked a good drowning - suddenly I had a thing about water, too). And the worst part of it? I had abandoned the only person in this insane asylum who I knew I could... trust. I walked right out on Hatter. Left him for Jack, just like we both knew I would. I'd never felt so rotten in my whole life. And what the worst part was?

I just knew he was dead right now; after his attempt at breaking me out, how could they not decide to just off him? The guilt was horrible, knowing he died trying to save me, the girl who was too dumb and caught up on a liar to see what was right in front of her. I wished so badly now that I had just kissed him, that I'd trusted him sooner, that I... I....

Suddenly, the door to the little red (I really was starting to hate that color) bubble they had me in was opened, and two Suits yanked me out. Apparently I wasn't going to die; they were just going to send me back. Jack had convinced his mother that banishment was better than killing me, and I shot him a thankful look as they dragged me out. But that was all he would get from me, because the man I wanted to see... I was never going to see him again.

Fucking hindsight.

FOTW

"You're kidding, right?"

Hatter was staring dumbfoundedly at her, his mouth hanging open, and his hat seemingly on the verge of falling off his head, as if her admission had, literally, blown him away. She smiled sheepishly at him, embarrassment wafting off of her. "It's true Hatter... I've never been ice skating."

Shaking his head (and readjusting his hat), he perked up. "This simply won't do. Come along, Alice dear, we're going to correct this horrible mishap." He was halfway through pulling his coat on when her voice stopped him.

"I can't skate, Hatter..." He turned back to her, shocked to see her looking so sad.

"How do you know if you've never tried?" He smiled, hoping to get her to laugh. But he couldn't even coax a giggle out of her.

She went and sat on their couch, folding her hands in her lap. He joined her, a tiny bit confused. "I did try, a lot. My dad... my dad tried to teach me, cause he wanted to take me ice skating, too." She sniffled a little bit, but went on. "I wasn't a very coordinated kid, and I fell a lot. Eventually, mom told him that she was tired of me always coming home with cuts and scrapes, so we had to stop telling her that that's what we were doing. She thought we were going to the library or something." A small smile danced on her lips for a moment, then was gone again. "I wound up getting good enough, he said, to try ice skating. And then he disappeared...."

Hatter nodded solemnly and placed his hand on hers, squeezing it. "Alice, love," he lifted her chin up, "I won't make you do this if you don't want to." He felt her emotions ease a little, but still sensed some unease.

"I... well, I dunno. I mean," she huffed slightly, her shoulders hunching forward, "I kinda want to. But, I'm scared to."

Recovering quickly from that, he kissed her. "I once told you I wouldn't let you do something if I didn't think you'd be ok. Remember?" He smiled against her lips, and she nodded. "I won't let you fall, ok?"

She nodded again, and got up. "Alright. But," her emotions changed, and he could taste the cinnamon-like flavor of her mischief on his tongue, "now you have to do something with me."

Turning to her, he grabbed her waist (causing her to squeal a little) and got to where their noses were almost touching. "Anything for you, my Oyster."

"We'll see."

A/N;; Yay! I got more suggestions this time! : D Haha, this one (the second one, I managed to come up with the first one on my own! Yay me) was inspired by tardisinthesqc. Anonymous I Think gave me a couple more, but they were both post-show, and I wanna do a couple still in show.

But don't fret, love! They will be used. :]


So, any other characters you'd like to see get their own drabble? I'll do anyone!... wow, that came out wrong. x] Anyway! : D
