"Good night mother." She watched her leave the room and close the door behind her. Alice sat back and rubbed at her eyes. She didn't have time to worry about Margret, she was older than her and had a mind for herself, Alice had Alice to worry about right now. She nodded to herself and went back to work.

Chapter Three: Where Alice Falls Down into a Rabbit Hole

It had been a week, Alice had prepared herself to leave packing her more important belongings, trinkets she acquired and things she had gotten on her travels that she wanted to share with everyone back home in Underland. Home. Yes that's what it was to her, more than the home she had grown up in or the place she knew, Underland was where her heart was. She felt jittery just thinking about it. She had slept in that morning, her mother or sister hadn't even bothered to wake her. It left her a little down heartened. She was planning on leaving early that morning so she can have more time to travel around Underland, but now she was behind on her planning.

Helen knocked on the door and entered. "Alice?"

"Oh mother..." She stepped out of her wash room, fully dressed. She was beginning to run a checklist of things she needed/wanted to bring with her.

"You're leaving today then?"

"Yes, I was planning to leave in the morning but neither you nor Margret woke me this morning."

"Forgive me." She gave a smile. "Why don't you come down and eat?"

"Right, of course. I'll be there in a minute mother." Alice gave her a soft smile, she would miss how close they've gotten in the last few days. Hopefully she'll find a way to come and go when she pleased, she would have to talk to Her Highness when she got the chance.

Helen left the room and smiled to herself before heading off downstairs and out to the backyard, where a ton of people were waiting for Alice to come down.

It was a little while later that Alice came down, setting her bags by the stairwell. She wondered where everyone was. She sighed and looked around the house before going off to the backyard. She probably decided on having brunch out here... What she saw when she stepped out was something entirely different. "Oh my..." She stepped out and saw a crowd of her close family, the Ascots and Lowell (hardly worth mentioning).

Helen smiled to her. "Alice..."

"Mother." She felt weary; at least it wasn't like that engagement party when hundreds of people showed up. She shook her head and went to her. "What is all this?"

"It's a going away party, you'll get a chance to say good bye to the people you care about. It wouldn't have been fair for you to leave without saying goodbye to them."

Alice nodded. "Of course... mother." How she terribly hated functions such as these, but over all she hated she hated saying goodbye.

Margret went to her and grabbed her arm. "Come with me."

Alice blinked and followed her. "Um, what is this about?"

"You leaving."

"What about it?"

"Where are you going?" She asked once they were out of ear shot of everyone.

"You wouldn't believe me."

"Don't tell me that dream world of yours. Really Alice, get your head out of the clouds, you were doing so well for yourself, why would you leave the company?"

"Because, I don't have much else to do with it, I'm confident it can go further on its own without my help. Really Margret, I told you before, I love you but this is my life and I have to make the rules or else I'll never be happy."

Margret frowned. "Alice."

"Don't Margret, I don't want to argue with you." She sighed. "This is supposed to be a good day."

Margret couldn't help but sigh, the frown creasing her eyebrow. "Very well. I only hope that one day you will realize your mistakes before it's too late. You don't want to end up like Aunt Imogean."

"I wish you'd realize yours." Alice made a face and just had to walk away from her. Sometimes she felt Margret got what she deserved with Lowell. Alice looked around and saw her niece and nephew running around and playing, she made a move to join them, she would miss them terribly.

Lowell was watching Alice from a far, a scowl hidden deeply in the corner of his mouth, oh how he disliked that meddling girl, he would finally be rid of her soon. Once rid of her he can take the money, get rid of Margret, get rid of his mother in law, and finally rid of those two stupid children, the two he hated the most.

Alice felt eyes watching her and looked over to Lowell. She scowled in his general direction. He's up to something. She noticed Lowell look away and at a young woman, giving her eyes. She saw him go after her and nodded to herself. "You two be good now." She patted the children on the head. She followed Lowell with her eyes and watched where he went. Its high time Lowell gets caught. With that she quickly found Margret. "Margret, Lowell went off into the garden, he's looking for you."

"Oh, alright, thank you Alice." Margret went off in the direction.

Alice sighed and thought to herself. I do hope that was the right thing to do, but both Lowell and Margret need to be taught a lesson.

It was a few minutes later when Margret came out from the gardens, her face flushed red with anger.

Lowell followed soon after, tucking in his pants, his face marred by a big red hand print across it. He was uttering words to Margret, trying to get her to stop. But when she did, he got a whole bowl of punch slammed down on his head, soaking his white clothes red.

Down with the bloody red louse. She chuckled to herself. This party is already starting to drag; if this keeps going on like this I may just start imaging things. She sighed to herself and noticed the twin children looking at their father with matching scowls. She went to them and placed a hand on their shoulders. "What is it children?"

"Father's a louse."

"A big one."

Alice was surprised to hear Hale and Evangeline speak that way. "What do you two know about that?"

The four year olds made a face at her. "We saw what daddy did."

She grimaced.

"Mommy never believed us."

"Until now." Evangeline said, finishing her brother's thoughts.

Alice looked up and couldn't help but smile and take in the sight of Lowell's terrifyed face. Margret most likely promised some terrible punishment and he wasn't liking it. It would be a look she would remember forever. She hoped her sister would finally be rid of him and go back to living with mother with the children in her absense.

Others came to greet her after the whole scene between Margret and Lowell. They wished her good tidings and luck in wherever it was she was going. Of course she thanked them and tried to enjoy herself in this uncomfortable setting.

It was well into the afternoon when the crowd finally dispersed and left. Alice was more than overjoyed to finally be left alone. Once it was just her and her mother, she gave her a full on hug. "I will miss you mother."

"And I you Alice." She hugged her in return before letting her go. "Fairfarren Alice..."

Alice pulled away and lifted her bag. She nodded to her and headed off into the gardens, walking through the maze. She stopped at a clearing and sat down on the bench. "Father, I'm leaving now." She ran her hand against the bench. "I'll always think of you and mother, please wish me luck." She lay against the bench remember when she was just a little girl.

"Alice I'm going to get you!" Came a male voice from a far.

She giggled happily. "No you aren't father!" She ran through the maze, her blond curls bouncing around her shoulders as she ran through the maze, trying to find the clearing. She soon found herself very lost in the maze. She made a face.

"Alice." Her father called out, sounding even farther than before. "Where are you dear?"

"I don't even know father..." She kept walking on, feeling around hoping to find it soon, she was starting to get tired and a little hungry.

"Stay where you are, I'll find you!" He called out sounding closer. Eventually he found her and snuck up on her from behind. He wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "There you are."

She felt her tummy rumble a bit. "You found me; thank goodness I was afraid I'd be lost forever."

"Nonsense Alice, I would never let you be lost forever." He lifted her and carried her to the clearing, setting her down on the bench. He reached under it and produced a small basket. "I bet you're hungry."

Alice's stomach grumbled, causing her face to streak with red from the embarrassment.

He chuckled and reached in for some strawberry tarts. "Don't tell your mother or it will be off with my head for letting you spoil your dinner."

She giggled and sat with him on the bench, sharing the tarts happily with him.

She sat up and patted the bench. "Fairfarren father." She stood and navigated out of the maze, after a bit she finally found the tree. She felt nervousness beginning to rise in her belly. Home, I finally get to go home. She couldn't help but look back at the old home, chewing on her bottom lip just a bit as she did so. She sighed softly then began to turn back towards the rabbit hole, but as she did she felt herself get tugged in.

Much like the last two times, she fell in but kept herself calm this time, managing to avoid the floating furniture and remembering to mind the piano, keeping calm as it came in dangerous proximity to her face, gulping a little. When she finally stopped falling she saw the hanging ceiling upside down, or was it right side up, the place could be so confusing. Her hair was standing up, she looked up. "Oh bother." The room righted itself and she slammed hard against the actual floor. "Oof," The bag landed on her in the process.

She made a face and looked around her, sitting up and pushing the bag off of her before finding the key and the potion. She set the key on the floor and drank the pishsalver, damn near gagging at the taste. She broke off a piece of cake before beginning to shrink. "I wish they would make that taste better..." She said as she began to shrink, her clothes falling off her. She held the piece in her hands and set it on top of her clothes. She dragged it onto the bag with much difficulty. She picked up the key and using both arms she lifted it, unlocking the door. She went through, dragging her bag through, after it was through the door it closed behind her.

She sighed a bit. "Oh dear..." She reached to the dress and tugged it down. She climbed on it and grabbed the piece of upelkuchen and ate it, instantly growing back to size. She rubbed her hands clean and grabbed her dress, putting it back on. Alice proceeded to look around. "Nivens was right, I wouldn't recognize this place." She crossed her arms. I wonder, which way is it to Mamoreal... She thought as she lifted her bag and brought it to her shoulder.

Over the last four years the brightness of Mamoreal spread throughout all of Underland, even making it as far out at the door way to her old home. She smiled at how nice everything looked, but then the thought of a certain person came to her mind again, making her remember what she had left her birth home for.

She began to walk through the forest of living flowers. She turned her head and saw them staring at her. She waved in greeting before turning away, a frown set on her face. "It would be so much better if I had some sort of transportation, like the bandersnatch or something..." No sooner had she said that, had the leaves begun to rustle.

Out popped a furry gray creature. "Ah it's you!" She smiled and pet the bandersnatch. "Will you be so kind as to lead me to Mamoreal?" It huffed at her and licked her face before lowering down enough for her to get on. Once mounted, the bandersnatch took off running in the direction of Mamoreal.

Hatter paced his room, a nervous knot in his gut, but he didn't know why. What a strange feeling to be... feeling, I can't quite put my finger on it.

Nivens entered the room. "Tarrant?" He asked nervously as he spotted him pacing the floor back and forth, so much he just may make a hole in it.

Hatter shook his head and looked over. "Oh... yes?"

"I have an invitation for you, to the Queen's feast tonight."

"Oh... "

Nivens handed him the envelope and watched as Hatter stared at it.

"Every year we have this feast... and every year she doesn't show. It's quite rude isn't it?" He chuckled. "I'll just have to make my own feast... she'll come to me." He said softly.

It was a good thing Nivens had been a rabbit with such long ears or else he wouldn't have heard him. "I... will be going now. We'll see you tonight." He left without a response from Tarrant, busy with sending out invitations.

Tarrant stared at the envelope and set it down on his work desk. He looked himself over in the mirror and saw the circles under his eyes had gotten... darker than usual. He sighed a bit. Who would ever be interested in this? I'm a mess. He pulled off his top hat and tried in vein to do something about his orange mop of hair. He frowned when not even pushing it back did anything to help him. Stupid hair, it's no wonder why she never came back... that... Hamish fellow is probably a lot more to look at than I am. He made a look of disgust, then pulled his hat back on. He tugged on his jacket and stormed out of his room and finally off the castle grounds.

It was well into the night when Alice arrived on the bandersnatch to Mamoreal. "It's even more grand then I remember it." She smiled as she slid off the beast and looked around.

Nivens spotted her and jumped up. "Alice!" He hopped to her and jumped up and down. "You're here you're here!"

She giggled at his enthusiasm. "Yes I'm here Nivens, now calm down before you hurt yourself."

He laughed nervously, then hopped around more. "Come, the Queen is waiting!" With that he hopped off, leading Alice away.

She followed after him and into the dining room to see hundreds of people there. She suddenly felt nervous beyond all relief.

"On this day, the fourth anniversary of Frabjous day, we welcome the return of our champion, who has slain the Jabberwocky, and brought everlasting peace to all of Underland, with warm arms and the deepest of gratitude." Queen Mirana said once Alice was in the room.

Alice's face paled at the cheers, then looked around the room and the both familiar and unfamiliar faces, but one important face was missing. "Where's Hatter?"

Sorry no Tarrant yet, but don't worry they'll meet again soon. Next chapter will be up soon! Much love to all. Thanks for the corrections!
