First of all, I would like to say that I am a high school student so publishing this story may become a difficulty. However, I will publish as best I can to ensure no one misses out on the romance, drama and slight comedy from this light hearted story.

This story is based in Tim Burton's 2010 Alice in Wonderland and is my version of what happened after the battle of the Queens Red and White.

Also in this fanfiction I have set the age of the Mad Hatter to be 26 and the age of the Knave of Hearts to be 28.

It is supposed to tell a story of pain, love, and mistakes...

Caution: This story, in my opinion, is rated 12 because of language and violence. Enjoy :)

Battle called across Underland as Alice dodged and darted to miss the great claws and flames of the monsterous Jabberwockey.

Ilosovic Stayne/Knave or Hearts paused as he and Tarrant Hightopp's/Mad Hatter's swords clashed...

"Why are we doing this, Tarrant?" He muttered. "What happened between us?" Tarrant growled, his voice filled with rage.

"You betrayed me!" His Scottish accented voice sounded softer and his glistening green eyes were on the verge of crying. "You let me down! When I trusted you the most! You broke my heart!"

Tarrant stared into Ilosovic's hazel brown eyes, which had a colour so alike to his pupil that his entire eye looked ebenezer black.

Ilosovic stared right back into Tarrant's lime green eyes.

Perhaps it was how each of them felt for each other or maybe how they had been a couple before, but both lowered their swords and walked closer to each other as the fight in the background continued.

"M-maybe we just need to go over what had happened..." Ilosovic suggested.

"Y-yes," Tarrant started. "Y-you could come over to my house and we can 'reflect' on...On...our relationship..." He said the last two words with difficulty but managed to do it nevertheless.

"Tomorrow maybe?" Ilosovic asked. Tarrant nodded.

So the next day, they met up. Although it was quite a dificulty for Ilosovic since he had been banished from Underland. He tried to go around unnoticed. And he made his way safely to Tarrant's tea table...

End of chapter one.

Will Ilosovic be discovered sneeking out of the castle like this?

Will one of Tarrant's parents/friends find out about this secret relationship?
