Me: OMG! I am so sorry this is taking so long. I got a life and almost forgot about everyone! I am sorry!________________________________________________________________________

The look on the Hatter's face was absolutely shocked. He looked at her face as though she just said he only had three months to live. "You what?" He asked remembering something of his own. No, this isn't good. Oh god no! This can't be happening……this isn't supposed to happen! What are you talking about! This is wonderful! Now she can finally understand every- NO! The oraculum said she wasn't supposed remember yet! No this isn't right. No, no, no, no!

"Hatter! I thought you would be happy." She said as she looked down.

"Oh, Alice I am happy. I was just thinking." He said. Technically he wasn't lying, he was thinking, just not about what Alice would think. Why would he need to think about anything right now?

She looked up to see his face and busted out laughing.

"What? Is my hat crooked?" He asked confused.

She brought her hand up and reached for his hat. She pulled it off and placed it on her head. After she had pulled it on over her hair, she attempted to fix it so that it wouldn't get in her face. She'd never noticed before that she was wearing it titled forward on her head. The Hatter, still confused, grabbed the hat and placed it on her head so that it wasn't in her beautiful face.

As he moved his hand away from the hat, he trailed it down her cheek. He placed his hand softly under her chin and pulled her face up. He looked into her eyes and saw that they seemed brighter, he was surprised that he hadn't noticed the uncharacteristic dullness before.

"Now my dear Alice, what is so funny?" The Hatter asked glancing at the smiling Alice, whilst trying to hold back a laugh. "Well, there's a bit of chocolate on your face." She smirked as she reached up to wipe the chocolate from his cheek, dangerously close to his lips.

She pulled her finger from his face and stuck it in her mouth. The Hatter stared down at her in amazement. He hadn't expected her to do that. "Alice my dear that was mine." He said playfully. She smiled even wider than she had been a moment ago.

"Well, what are you going to do about it?" She said while poking him gently in the chest. He reached behind her a grabbed some of the left over chocolate bar, that was melted from the heat of the stove. He placed some on her nose. He stuck his finger in his mouth to clean his fingers. Alice reached up to wipe the chocolate off, and was spun around and pressed against the wall. The Hatters hands were gently holding her wrists against the wall.

"What's this about?" She asked, not giving up her playfulness. "Well, you took my chocolate, and now I'm going to take yours." He said leaning closer into her. She was able to smell the Hatter. And she liked it. She leaned ever so and breathed deeply.

She closed her eyes and pondered what his smell made her feel. She felt like a child all over again.

The Hatter's soft earthy smell filled her nose but the scent was tainted with something else, Cinnamon, she thought. She smiled as she thought of the Hatter running in a cloud of powered cinnamon.

She felt something warm move even closer to her face. She opened her eyes to see a set of mismatched eyes looking intently at her face with a spark of curiosity. The Hatter saw she had been brought back to focus and smiled. He moved his face up and even closer that before. His lips separated slightly\ and he brought them gently towards the chocolate on her nose.

He gently used his tongue to lick off the chocolate. A bright red blush jumped onto her face when she felt his tongue dance across her nose.

He jumped back after noticing what he had done. She looked up at him with pleading eyes, silently begging him to let her know how to react. The Hatter brought his hands away from her wrists as quick as he could blink. He took two steps away, hoping she wouldn't be angry.

Alice took the same two steps towards the Hatter seeing his embarrassment. He looked at her with confusion. She stood on her tippy toes and whispered in his ear, "I bet the weak old Hatter can't catch me."

With that, she raced out of the kitchen and hurried around, trying to find a hiding spot.

The Hatter simply stood there confused for a moment then he turned his head and realized that she wanted him to chase her.

He raced up the stairs, following the noises she was making as she searched for something. Though he had no idea what that something might be.

Alice ran into the bedroom she deemed to be the Hare's. She had no time to look around the room as she had heard footsteps running up the stairs.

She quickly ducked under the bed and tried not to giggle at their childish game. She never noticed it before, but it seemed as if every time she got nervous with a man she would start a game of some sort.

She heard a door open near the room she was in and she knew he was in the room next to her. She stayed where she was until she was surprised by a face coming into her view when she wasn't paying attention.

The Hatter almost jumped up the stairs to find Alice. He didn't understand it, but he enjoyed this new behavior. He walked down the hallway, listening for any sign of where Alice might be hiding. He walked into his room thinking that she would venture into a room she had been in before.

As he walked into his room, he remembered what was going to happen now that she remembered. This is going to end What in the bloody hell are you talking about? The oraculum! She wasn't supposed to remember! Now, well, now everything's going to end. Oh, yes. I had forgotten about that. Put that from your mind for now. Enjoy your time with her, at least for now.

He shrugged off the thought of not always having Alice in his arms. He walked over towards the Hare's room and noticed the door ajar. The Hare always shut his door when he went for tea. The Hatter had never had understood why he felt to keep the door closed.

He stopped wondering about that and walked quietly into the room. He looked down at the floor to see a shadow coming from under the bed. He got to his knees quietly and placed his head under the bed, to find Alice, completely dazed.

He leaned in closer to her face to make sure she was still alive. He looked into her eyes as he saw them refocus. She jumped back slightly and then leaned in, closing her eyes.

The Hatter knew what was happening and closed his eyes also, leaning in as well.

Then, their lips meet in a sweet yet fiery kiss, one that displayed all of their feelings for each other.
