Jack pinched himself. Hard. Then he decided that he was most definitely awake. He stared at Hatter and Jack 1&2 who were still laughing on the ground. Wheezing, Hatter sat up and grinned at Jack. Jack couldn't help but to grin back, though not quite as madly. 'Well, I could stay here a while, no Davy Jones, Becket, or terrible beastie.' Jack thought to himself.
"Has anyone seen Barbossa?" Jack asked loudly. He was still missing, not that Jack cared but he still needed a human shield to use as protection. The crew shook their heads.
"Not since he had a panic attack and ran away," Gibbs said efficiently. Jack nodded and looked at his surroundings. Hatter, Jack 1, and Jack 2 were sitting up on the ground, Gibbs was standing tall, Marty was sighing at the loss of the two people that were his height, Cotton was watching the parrot and monkey suspiciously, Pintel and Ragetti realized they were still holding each other and let go sheepishly, Mally was standing by a tea cup watching everyone, and March was holding a cup and carefully aiming. Jack ducked as it came towards him then realized that it was too high to hit him. He stood up then jumped when he heard an outraged female shriek from the forest behind him.
"I know that unhuman shriek anywhere." Jack 1 said fearfully. Jack 2 smiled and said, "It's about time." Suddenly Will walked out of the forest covered with glass fragments, with Elizabeth at his side. Elizabeth looked at Will, barely containing her laughter at Will's shriek. Will glared and she quieted. They jumped in shock as they realized they had found the crew. Hatter charged the newcomers and stopped inches from them.
"Hi, I'm Hatter, and these fine people are, March, Mally, Jack," Hatter started as Jack growled and grumbled, "Captain, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow."
"Anyway, Gibbs, Marty, Pintel, Ragetti, Monkey, and Parrot." Hatter finished quickly, before Jack could interrupt. Hatter smiled blankly at the Will and Elizabeth.
"Why are you here and not at the Pearl?" Jack asked dangerously.
"But Jack, It's soo boring and I can't be alone with Elizabeth for one more minute or I'll go mad, Mad I say." Will gushed in one breath. "Oh and I'm Will and this wretched creature beside me is Elizabeth." Will said to Jack and Hatter. Elizabeth screeched indignant. At this Jack stomped to the corner of the clearing, grumbling.
"Who's the Captain here, Me, that's right ME. I am the Captain but noo, nobody listens to me even though I could send them all to the brig." Jack grumbled. Jack 1 and Jack 2 looked at each other.
"I blame Will for this. It was probably his idea to follow us." Jack 1 said with his nose in the air.
"What do you mean 'Will's fault' It was obviously Elizabeth's fault, she left stupidly on her own and brave Will couldn't leave her on her own to be eaten by who knows what." Jack 2 said, jumping to the defense of his third favorite person. Jack's face turned an unpleasant shade of purple, then started yelling.
The rest of the crew and Hatter's group were watching Jack yell at his shoulders. Hatter was nodding along with everything the mini-Jacks were saying. Gibbs looked at Hatter who was still nodding along with each point that the mini-Jacks made and adding his own ten cents to the conversation with amazement. 'There really was someone who was more mad then Jack.' Gibbs thought to himself.
"I DON'T CARE WHO STARTED IT, I'LL FINISH IT," Jack yelled, his voice carrying to the group. Most of the crew turned and smiled, that was their Captain. Gibbs was still staring at Hatter who turned to him and said,
"Those two should really stop arguing with each other, Jack appears to be close to his breaking point." Gibbs backed away slowly. Jack stood up and walked over to Hatter.
"So, what's the deal with talkinflowers,eggpeople,smilycats,crazyrabbitswithgoodaim,lilmice,andhatman Land?" Jack asked Hatter, not knowing what else to call it.
"Well, about a year ago, the Red Queen was fighting for control of Wonderland. Down wid tha Bluddy Big 'ead" Hatter shouted and his eyes changed color and he stomped around in a circle, angrily kicking things until Mally shouted, "Hatter," Hatter turned around and let out a strained, "I'm fine." Hatter shook his head then continued with his story. Jack and Jacks 1&2 looked at each other, than back at Hatter.
"She had taken over much of Wonderland, and killed many people with her knight, Stayne. The White Queen was ruling what was left." Hatter said with sadness staring down at the ground, "Then, Alice came back," Hatter's face lifted and joy filled his features. "Except, she had lost her muchness, but I knew it was her, I'd know him anywhere. Then Stayne and some of his army came. I hid her in a teapot and then sent her off flying on my hat." Jack was in awe and respect of Hatter for risking his Hat to save his friend.
"I was unfortunately captured, and brought to the bloody Bighead's court. After I was imprisoned for a while the bighead wanted to see me. I was brought up from the dungeon and I saw Alice sitting in the throne next to Bloody Bighead, and she was huge. She smiled at me when the Bighead was distracted and I used my mad skills at persuasion to make her let me make her hats. Thus enabling me freedom to plan an escape. As Bloody Bighead was trying on some of the hats I made, I noticed that her court were dropping bits and pieces." Hatter laughed madly at the memory then snorted.
"I was so happy being able to make hats. Until Alice told me that I was making them for the Bluddy Bi' 'Ead. I got angry and she calmed me." Hatter's voice got gentle and he smiled.
"Then Stayne came in and Mally accidentally said Alice's name. You see, they didn't know she was the Alice. Then I fought Stayne as Alice ran. I was in the dungeon again, waiting for my execution. Then Chess was after my Hat. He had a proposition. Then, he, masked as me, walked up to the executioners block and disappeared. I then jumped up and led an uprising of the Red Queen's castle. I exposed all of her court for their falsities and we made our way to the White Queen's Castle. There we met Alice. March was also there. Then Alice told me that I was a part of her imagination. But Alice still didn't have her muchness back. She was needed to slay the Jabberwokky. Which would free the Red Queen's army. Many of us offered to be the Queen's champion but it was not to be. As we headed out to our doom, Alice came out in armor and the Vorpoal Sword. I smiled at her and we made our way to the battleground. It was Frabjous Day. The final battle started out with Alice fighting the Jabberwokky. It was going good until her sword was knocked out of her hands. I couldn't let her get hurt so, even though it was against the rules, I leaped up and stabbed the Jabberwocky's tail majestically, but I missed so I poked its tail quickly. The Red Queen shouted and the two armies charged. I was fighting Stayne. It was over for him until I saw the Jabberwocky's head fall. I dropped my weapon and as soon as I had everyone's eyes on me, I fudderwakkened like never before. The Red Queen was banished with Stayne at her side. He begged to be killed but we did not owe him a kindness. The White Queen got some Jabberwokky blood and told Alice it could send her home, if she wished it. I told her she could stay. But she had things to do in Otherland. She told me she would come back someday. And she promised she wouldn't forget." Hatter finished his story with a sad smile.
A soft sobbing was noticeable and everyone turned their heads behind them to give strange looks to Will. Will shook his head and pointed at Gibbs.
"Its just so sad." Gibbs cried. The rest of the crew backed away slowly from the emotional pirate.
