Alice's Point of View

"I think the best birthday surprise and our birthday celebrant should be alone..."Mirana giggled and pushed us outside Hatter's own house.

"Fineee! It's okay even if you kick us out of my own house! I have my dear Alice with me!!!"Hatter shouted. He then turned to me and hugged me tightly, I hugged him back as well.

"Hatter.. You don't know how I missed you so much.."I whispered, closing my eyes as I hugged him...

"You don't know how I miss you too My dear Alice... And... I thought you'll never came back.."I felt Hatter's tears on my Shoulder as I hug him.

"Hatter..? Are you..."

"No.. It's just, you know, what do you call that.. Uh. Tears of Happiness.."He then stopped hugging me and grinned.

"Oh Hatter... You shouldn't cry on your special day..."I wipe his tears and smiled.

"Why don't we take a stroll in town?... Lot of things Changed since then."He hold my hands and pull me gently down the road.

"Woah haha. Don't be so fast.."I giggled as I follow his steps.

He brought me in the garden where the Tea Party was held.

"Sit beside me"He smiled, excited because I was here...

I, too was excited, Even though it's been only 8 months, I feel like it's been decades...

"Why didn't we invite Thackery-"

"Well they kicked us out so we're kicking them out too!"He said sarcastically and laughed.

"Anyway... Can you tell me everything that happened when I was gone?.."I take a sip of the tea and stared at him.

"Hmm.. Right after you brought the Chronosphere back to Time, Mirana and Iracebeth Reconciled right?"I nodded slowly,"Well after that.. They fought again... And..."

"It's probably Mirana's fault again isn't it..?"I smirked, thinking how Mirana lied... It's just one little problem, but... Still.

"Not exactly, it's both of them. Iracebeth's head was back the way it was, but... What they fought about is this...."he moved close to me and whispered,"Man.."

"Oh..."I giggled. So They're fighting about a Man.

"Iracebeth just get over with Time..."Hatter rolled his eyes.

"And so, what's the name of that 'Unlucky' man?"I rested my chin on my arms, placed on top of the table and tucked together.

"Well, He is tall... Handsome... And blonde. He's actually invited in my party."He Replied back.

"Well... Can you show him to me? I can judge him by his looks. But of course, attitude matters first."I stood up and turn to Hatter.

He then stood up too, and took my hand.

"Let's go?"He smiled.

"It seems like you never want to let go of me huh?"I chuckled and look back at the road.

"I don't want you to go again Alice..."He whispered under his breath. It's so Silent that I heard it..

"Why..?"

"Because we'll miss you.."He replied...

I then took a deep breath and said,"I'll try not to leave for a week.

His face lightens up,"R..really? Which means you and me and my friends.. And my family are gonna be together for long?"

"Yeah, most probably... I don't think there's gonna be a problem inside the ship anyway so we're safe"He hugged me again and let go after a moment.

"Thank you thank you thank youuu so much Alice!! You don't know how happy you made me in my birthday!"He jumped and hold my hand tighter, but im still comfortable with it. His hands are warm..."Let's go check that blonde man and hoping they'll let me in!"
