" I know i am sorry" Alice blamed herself maybe if she had been there she could have stopped it

"My dear Alice, why is it that everytime you come, your either to young, or to tall?" He asked playing with a bit of her hair.

" i have no idea.....i guess i am always changing"

"Hmmm.... Perhaps a bit taller, and a few more years..." He said gently running his fingers along her cheek.

Alice blushed a bit " yes...." Alice felt his cool smooth finger gently touch her cheek

Laughing lightly the Hatter placed a kiss on her cheek then smiled. "Now Dear Alice, I must tell you the truth behind why I brought you here." He said taking her hands.

Alice looked at him " okay what is it your scaring me?"

"You need to vanquish the Red Queen...." He said then a pop his hat floated off his head and the Cheshire Cat appeared floating between them. "How is she to do that?" "Simple Shire, the Sword of fire..."

" Me i can not she will surely kill me i am sure" Alice grew with fear

"With that attitude I dare say she will... Dear you must find the strength to vanquish her, take the crown as ruler of wonerland." The Hatter said clasping her hands with his and pleading with her, his bright blue eyes positively begging.

" I do not know i am no queen i am no leader how will i lead?" Alice began to think of what a disaster it would be if she were queen

"I'll be there to help dear." The Hatter said bowing. "As will I." the Cheshire cat said with a purr.

" I do not know I am sorry" Alice left them and went to sit by a tree

"We must find some way to convince her Hatter." The Cheshire cat said floating upside down as he watched Alice. "Allow me." The Hatter said taking his hat back and putting it on his head. He walked over and sat next to Alice and placed an arm around her shoulders. "Alice dear? Have I ever told you about how the white queen became queen?" He asked sounding quite sane for a moment.

" No you have never told me that story" Alice looked into his eyes

"The white queen and her sister, were both normal girls just like you, but something brought them both to wonderland. The white queen instantly won all our hearts, and we wanted her to be our queen. But she was scared, she had always been a sick child, she wasn't sure she could lead this world."

Alice nodded " Same way i feel right now"

"Yes, but she did, Course her sister wasn't so happy about it... But tosh that, She vanquished her fears, and took over as queen, she had all of wonderland helping her."

" Are you telling my that wonderland will support me?!" Alice looked at him

"Yes, everyone hates that rotty old queen." He said giggling madly.

" Okay" Alice got up with energy " I will do I will bring her down but how?" She looked at the mad hatter with question

"Carue, calay!" The Hatter Exclaimed jumping up. "Well... To begin with... Do you know how to use a sword?" He asked extracting a rather long and bejeweled sword from within his coats.

" no sorry it is not lady like where i come from" Alice frowned

"Hmm.... then perhaps I shall have to teach you." He said holding the sword out for her.

She grabbed the sword " I do not know hatter .....I am a bit scared i will not lie "
