“Come along now Charlotte we really must be going” white rabbit said hopping along in front of me.  I followed without a word all the stories replaying in my head. ‘Ok if the march hare is there remember to duck. If the hatter goes on a rant stop him and finally answer the riddle how is a raven like a writing desk.’  The white rabbit stopped suddenly nearly making me run into him. “Charlotte, you may want to pay attention the hatter and his friends are a little…” he paused searching for the right word. “Mad?” I suggested. “Yes I suppose that fits” he said “as my aunt always use to tell me that’s ok all the best people are” I said with a small smile. The rabbit hopped away smiling knowing I would be ok. “Alice!” a person I could only assume was the hatter said gleefully. He stepped over the table to get a better look. Before he could make it the March hare yells “Alice you’re late for tea” and he throws a tea cup at my head.  Thanks to my auntie’s great advice I duck just in time.  The hatter makes it down and stands in front of me studying me carefully. “You’re not Alice” he said kind of saddened. “Your right, I’m her niece. My name is Charlotte.” I said sticking out my hand expecting him to shake it instead he takes it and kisses it lightly on the back. I blush a bit. My aunt certainly left out how handsome he was. “Hatter” he said sweetly. “I know who you are Mr. Hatter. I know everyone in underland. My aunt told me about all her adventures. That’s how I knew how to duck when Mr. Hare threw the tea cup” I said looking him in his yellow-green eyes.  I turn to the march hare before saying “nice shot by the way Mr. Hare” he laughs crazily before answering “Thank you not Alice” “your quite welcome Mr. Hare” I reply.  “Charlotte, could you tell me how a raven is like a writing desk?” Hatter said. “Well Mr. Hatter I am certain I can, a raven is like a writing desk because both can produce few notes, though they are very flat and they are both never put with the wrong end in front.” I said smiling brightly.  “Very good! Charlotte that one has been plaguing me for ages and, call me Hatter please” Hatter said clapping his hands. “I saw Mr. Mouse on the way here, he was with the twins.” I said knowing they must wonder where their friend was. “That bugger’s always LATE FOR TEA” the March hare said yelling the last part and throwing another tea cup. Hatter and I both duck again. With him around it’s a wonder they have dishes to eat with. “Hatter?” I said gaining his attention. “The white rabbit said you would take me to see the white queen. Would you please?” I said looking into his lovely eyes again. My aunt definitely did not do justice to how handsome he was.   “A gentleman can never refuse the request of a lady. But first, we are thinking of things that begin with the letter C, cats, clogs and claustrophobia, cannibalism…” he began a rant “hatter” I said sharply to stop him. “Sorry” he said with a goofy grin. “Well we’d best be on the way to the castle” he said then turned to the table “Hare, I am escorting charlotte to see the white queen, keep the tea warm please” he said to the March Hare.  “Before we leave it might be quicker if I am my correct size.” I said taking out the cake. I take two bites as per my aunt’s instructions. So I don’t end up like Um from Umbrage. My T-shirt stretches a bit causing the Hatter to blush. “Oh pardon” he said when I caught him looking. He turns around and with a few quick movements he makes a new t-shirt for me out of fabric that seemingly came from nowhere. Then I remembered that he was the hatter to the queen he probably has fabric in the pockets of his coat. He turns around and holds up the purple and orange T-shirt. “I like it” he said grinning like a maniac “Thank you Hatter, Its lovely.” I said just as he turns around so I could change. “You are quite welcome charlotte.” He said turning around when I was through.  “Ok now that, that is over with we can go now hatter” I said sweetly.  We walk along as he asks me questions about my life with Alice and what she says about them. Soon we arrive at the white castle. “Your majesty” hatter said bowing. I follow suit. “You both don’t need to bow to me” Mirana said. “With all due respect your majesty but I’m not your champion I’m Charlotte, Alice’s niece” I said bowing again for correcting royalty.  “Charlotte, I am not my sister I do not require my subjects to bow to me” she said sweetly. It was easy to see why my aunt really liked her.  “Yes your majesty” I said. “You must be tired from your long journey.” She said sympathetically. “I have your rooms already made up.” She said walking away. Hatter followed so I did as well. She walked into the castle and led us to two rooms next to each other. “Hatter, this one is yours” she said gesturing to the right one. “Charlotte, this one was made up for you as soon as Mr. Mouse informed me of your arrival” she said gesturing to the left one. “Thank you your majesty.” I said in gratitude. I go into the room and my jaw drops, it was lovely. It was painted purple and orange with a darker purple bed spread and orange carpet.  I checked the closet and it was filled with beautiful dresses and lovely nightdresses that were just my style.  I change into one of the aforementioned nightdresses. And walk over to say good night to hatter. He was at a sewing machine making what looked like a hat.  “Hatter?” I said gaining his attention...
