  "It is, I think," Elsa said nervously, looking back towards her dresser to check another drawer. "Sometime today." She closed the drawer, opening another to check, not realising that she had already checked it. It was better than facing the truth.

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"Sweet Elsa. I am going to miss you very much." He looked at his hands that were collected together in an arrangement of sorts in front of him. "Will you come visit sometime?" His eyes looked up toward hers. "You have been one of my favorite friends and I do hope you will be okay. In fact, I know you will. The Asylum will be a much dimmer place without you here." 

[rose-and-mirror-blog]

  "Singing flowers, tea parties, and talking caterpillars?  You make Wonderland sound like a place from one of my books," Belle said with a smile.  She wasn’t sure if such a place could exist, but Mad certainly talked as if it did.  She knew all too well how many times she had wished the lands in her books were actual places that she could visit.  Perhaps he had started to believe it a little too much.

"Tell me more about it," she said, interested in just how much knowledge her friend had of this place that seemed more fantasy than reality," Are there many that live there?"

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"Oh it is a place like any book, Belle. If someone could have written about it, well it would have the most fascinating stories." He smiled a big grin, letting the butterfly rest on a flower. "Wonderland is so very different from this world Belle. So very different. Why, everything you would consider  nonsense in this world makes sense there." He paused. "If that makes any sense." They came to a bench in the greenhouse and offered Belle to sit. 

"My best friend in Wonderland was a Rabbit named the March Hare and Of course Dormouse. She would always fall asleep in her very own teapot i had made for her. Do you know Alice? Alice is from this world and fell down the Rabbit hole while chasing the white rabbit. She's here too." 

"The only downside to Wonderland is the Red Queen. She is awful and terrible. She is the one that sent me here." He frowned. "But once i find a way back and I will, I can show you. I think you'd love to visit there."

  Elsa turned started slightly at the sound of a voice, closing the drawer she was checking as she turned to see Mad. This was gonna be hard. “Hey,” she said with a small smile. “I-I’m being discharged.”

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

He knew the word discharge and if she didn't want to go then she didn't have to. Elsa must have wanted to go. "Well this is a good thing right?" Mad stepped more into her room. "I uh-When do you leave?"

Elsa ran nervous eyes over the bags around her once more. Her trunk and other heavy things had already been taken to her apartment, where the car she was waiting for would take her to. She was still in her room, the space looking dull without any signs of life, and the bags piled by the open doorway. Glancing at the clock, she decided to do one last check through the empty drawers, paranoia joining the nerves in her stomach. She had to keep herself busy, or she was afraid she’d break down.

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

Mad was walking down the hall, when he saw Elsa's door open. Except it didn't look like her room at all. Everything was gone. A puzzled look was on his face. "Elsa?" He still saw her in the room. "What happened to all your stuff?"

Alice wasn’t being her social self lately. At first, it was because of the small cold she had. She didn’t want to pass it unto anyone because that dreadfully rude, so she stayed in bed and waited for it to pass. Then it was her dreams. Instead of them just being set in Wonderland, they morphed, combing the hospital and Wonderland into one big mess. It was horrifying, twisted, and everyone here was disfigured somehow and coming after her. Alice would be waking up trembling, too scared to leave her covers. Unfortunately, she could only hide in her room so long before the doctors got to her. She has been having intense therapy sessions, trying to make sense of what was real and what was just her nightmares. It was awful, really, and was starting to really drain Alice.

After two weeks of this, Alice decided that enough was certainly enough and that she needed to talk to someone before she went mad even further. So she went to the common room, determined to talk to someone. The real problem was once she got there, she wasn’t sure who to talk to. There were more people in there then she was used to and it made her a little uncomfortable. She surveys the room, looking for someone who looked friendly enough. When she spots a  person not really interacting with anyone, she takes a deep breath and walks over to them. “Are you alright?” she asks, a little softer than normal. “I mean…you seem like you have a lot on your mind and…I’m sorry, if I’m bothering you….”

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

Boom. Boom. Boom. 

The fireworks had much more of an effect on him than he thought they would. The booming made him think of the Jabberwocky which made him zone out completely. The last thing Mad remembered was the fireworks and that was 6 days ago. Almost a week was lost to him. He woke up this morning in his room, his head on a top of pile of papers that were very much different to his own hand writing. They looked liked the queens. 

Was she here?

How did she find him?

Mad didn't stay in his room long. He had to get out into the open and surrounded by people. He found a hoodie and wrapped it around him. Once in the common room, he was far away from everyone else. Until he heard a voice. 

"A-Alice?" He put his hood down. "Is it- Is it really you?"

  "The flowers would sing?" she asked him with a raised eyebrow and tilted head," Is that a sort of metaphor?"  She didn’t respond to the comment on singing, in their previous conversations she worried his musings would lead to asking of demonstrations.  Mad Hatter seemed to be a man full of compliments and had an overall air of amusement about him.  It left her with a feeling of warmth that she hadn’t felt anywhere or from anyone else since coming here.   

She couldn’t help but grin at the image in her head of her friend covered head to toe in water and fascinated by this new toy that had been used in a silly summer game.

"It definitely looked fun," she said with a laugh,"  It’s not something I’d find myself playing but it’s great to see you had so much fun with it.  I’m surprised to hear you’ve not heard of balloons before, they seem the thing that would be right up your alley.  Water balloons, Helium filled to make silly voices with, balloon animals…. they’re all things I could picture you have a blast with."

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"Oh yes. The flowers would sing the most beautiful songs you would ever hear. They were also quite the gossipers." He let out a laugh. "Metaphor? Whats a metaphor?" He tilted his head slightly, as he had never heard the word before. 

"Oh I need to go get your rose!" 

"Oh Belle, I think you would enjoy balloon fights. If not, then what do you like to do for fun?" He wondered. Then Mad's eyes lit up really bright. "Helium? What is Helium? It sounds absolutely wonderful. And there are animals that are made out of balloons? How fascinating!" He would need to go to the library and read all about Helium and balloon animals. 

[rose-and-mirror-blog]

  She said nothing of his comment on her being a storyteller.   She did love to tell stories but she had not done so in a very long time, and admitting it seemed to invite him to ask her to tell him one.  She didn’t know she had one to share at this point.

"She sounds like a wonderful woman," she said as he spoke of his mother.   She couldn’t help but think of her own, how short a time she knew her and the very limited memories she had.  Memories that could simply just be dreams she thought were memories.  This only led her to memories of her father, ones she knew weren’t dreams, and ones that hurt so much more than the scarred over wounds of the loss of her mother.

"Well, this is the Green house."

His introduction brought her out of her own head and into their new setting.  She grinned widely at the plant life around them.  All different sorts of plants were around them, and her eyes widened as she took in the rows of flowers and herbs.  

She was about to step forward to get a closer look when she noticed the butterfly and Mad’s greeting.  She gave him a questioning look at the speaking to the butterfly, not really sure if he was actually speaking to it like it could speak back or simply like someone would speak to their beloved pet without actually expecting it to understand.

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"Oh she was. A very wonderful woman indeed." It had been so long since he had seen his mother, but being far away from home like he was right now, it helped him remember his mother and father more. It was so much cleared here. Mad didn't know if it was the medicine that the nurses were giving him or if it was this earth air but he remembered things so clearly now. 

Maybe it was because he wasn't stuck in that tiny little place with the glue that he used to make his hats stick together. That glue changed him and he didn't have to use that glue here and this place was much more well ventilated than the tiny place he was stuck in before. 

He grinned when he saw her smile. Belle had a very beautiful smile. 

When she gave him that questioning look, Mad moved his hand and let the butterfly crawl on his finger. "Back in Wonderland, Absolum was an all knowing all wise Catepillar and of course turned into a butterfly. He was blue just like this little guy. Of course it's not him, but i thought it was a fitting name."

[insane-little-doll-deactivated2]

  Sally smiled as he talked of his sister, it was obvious that he loved her very much. “Thank you, everyone tells me I’m sick though.” She grinned at him. She felt her cheeks light up because she had thought that his name was Mad Hatter, she was happy it wasn’t. “How is the Mad Hatter who you are when you’re not mad?” She questioned softly before looking up at him, “Tarrant Hightopp. I like that better then Hatter, can I call you Tarrant?” 

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"Well they are so very wrong, Sally. And you shouldn't listen to them. You aren't sick." He put a finger to his chin and thought about it. "Well back in Wonderland, I Made hats for the red Queen and she gave me a very tiny space to work in. The fumes of the glue i was using to make hats slowly turned me mad. It made my skin pale, My hair orange and my eyes two different colors and sizes. I was the Mad Hatter." He explained. "But you can call me Tarrant." He giggled. not having been called that in so long was strange to hear again.

Not that there was any reason to question Mad’s kindness, but she found herself wondering why he was always so nice when they spoke.  If it wasn’t for his seeming sincerity in how he spoke she’d think perhaps there were other motives.   Instead, it was almost a sense of relief in how he seemed like a long time friend just in how he spoke.

When he mentioned the prize he planned to give her she paused, slightly taken aback at how perfect a gift it actually was,”  I love roses.”  She had to admit she was a bit excited about the gift, without even seeing it,”  Thank you.”

She hadn’t participated in the water balloon fight, but the bits she did see of it it looked like everyone was enjoying themselves,”  Did you win?”

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

He smiled a big grin at her. "Thats wonderful!" Mad exclaimed. "Back home the flowers would always sing and the roses had the most beautifullest voices! You have a lovely talking voice, Belle. I bet you have a lovely singing voice as well."He nodded and smiled. "You are most welcome, Dear Belle."

Mad's grin widened. "I don't know if their was a winner, but if there would have been a winner then i probably would have been in the top 3. I got completely soaked." 

[insane-little-doll-deactivated2]

  She hugged him tightly and hung on to him. “Eliora is a very beautiful name, and if she’s like you I know she was a beautiful person. I wish I was able to meet her.” Sally smiled sadly as she pulled away a bit. “But having a bad family made me sick I think so without them I wouldn’t be able to be here and meet you and everyone else. I have a family here at Rogue and I wouldn’t trade you guys for anything, even sanity.” Sally blinked confused, “Wait your parents named your sister Eliora but named you Mad Hatter???” She cocked her head far to the side in total confusion. 

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"Oh she was lovely. I made dresses for her all the time. We did everything together. I wish you could meet her too." Mad smiled at her. Sally and Eliora would have gotten off wonderfully. "Oh Sally. Dear sweet Friend, You aren't sick. You are perfect and wonderful." How could Sally think she was sick? Because the doctors told her she was? That made his heart sad. "They didn't name me Mad Hatter." He let out a silly giggle. "The Mad Hatter is who i am. My name is Tarrant Hightopp."

  "I appreciate the offer," she said," but I don’t want to keep you from the festivities.  Clearly you’re excited to get out there.  Don’t let me stop you from going and enjoying yourself.  I’ll probably be back before the fireworks."  Unspoken was the addition that perhaps she’d watch them from her windows in her room.

She knew that someone choosing to keep alone was often a mood dampener for those who enjoyed the company of others, so rather than linger on this she simply continued,” There’s a lot to do out there.  It’s a nice break from all the therapy to just enjoy the day and do something new.   Have you been out there yet?”

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"You aren't keeping me from anything, Dear Belle. Besides It wouldn't be as much fun without you there." He smiled a sincere smile at her. "I can leave when the its time for the fireworks." Mad had heard rumors about how loud the fireworks were going to be and he wasn't sure how loud they would be. 

"Oh I've been out there all day. I won a few toys. One for each of my friends which means I have one for you." He smiled a big smile. "It's a rose. Well not a real rose but a stuffed rose and bigger. You remind me of a Rose, Dear Belle." Mad did hope that she enjoyed roses. Roses were beautiful and nice and had wonderful singing voices. He pondered a thought about if She had a lovely singing voice, she looked like she would. "I was just changing out of my wet clothes. I had a lot of fun in the water balloon fight. I never even knew that their were such things as balloons!"

Sally knew something was wrong the way Hatter moved away and wouldn’t look at her. When he spoke of his sister being killed along with his parents her heart broke. She scooted closer and wrapped her arms around him from behind and laid her head on his back. “I’m sorry Hatter. I didn’t mean to hurt you by bringing it up.” She pressed her lips to his shoulder as she thought of her own father, “I didn’t have the loving family so I don’t know what it would be like to loose my father, but yours sounds lovely and I’m sorry such great people were taken.” 

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

His visions were starting to overtake him. The room was beginning to disappear and it was transforming into the Red queens palace. Mad could feel another personality trying to take over. This was too much. Then he felt arms go around him and the palace faded away and he was taken back to his room. Mad turned around and hugged Sally. "It happened a very long time ago. My Sister and I were very close. Her name was Eliora." Tears were stinging at his eyes. "I'm very sorry you didn't have a loving Family, Sally."

  She gave a small laugh,” Yes, it’s… a bit much for me right now out there.  I was just taking a break.  I may be back later.”   She wasn’t sure if she would actually be back out.  She was still pretty awkward when it came to most of the other people she’d met, and most of her day had been spent alone, watching others enjoy themselves.   Going back to her books and spending time with the fictional characters she had grown to love seemed a more productive way to spend her time than walking around the front lawn working up the courage to approach people and failing.

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

Mad knew that some people here could only take so much and some were very shy around other people. And that was completely fine by Mad. Jack was always very understanding of his other personalities and Mad never asked why someone was here. He didn't need to know, He just needed to know how to cheer people up. "Would you like some Company, Belle? I've been outside for the past couple of days staying busy with all the games. I think i could use a break as well." He offered her a warm smile. Mad liked Belle. She was very sweet and kind and he got a long with her wonderfully.

  "Do you think they are a good look? I would take your word for it, it seems I’m in the dark about things like hats." She laughed pushed up the hat and tilted it back to she could see him. At his comment about her eyes she blushed and looked back down causing the hat to fall into her face again. "Oh!" She felt him move off of her and she went to push herself up when she felt his hands on her sides and pick her up and sat her on her feet. "Hatter, you’re going to hurt yourself picking me up like that." At his question about the lights she chewed on her lip and took off that hat handing it back to him. "Oh they are very pretty but I don’t like the loud noise. I was going to go get Mr. Bones and go sit in the garden or something where I can see them but I can also plug my ears. Have you never seen fire works?"

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

"It is a very good look. Hats suit you very well, Sally Dear. I could sketch you a few different hats and you could tell me what you like and what colors." He smiled at her, Laughing when the hat covered her face again. "Oh nonsense, My dear sweet sally. You are very easy to pick up. It is no problem at all." Mad's head tilted when she chewed her bottom lip. "Is the noise very loud? The nurses said it made a boom sound but i wasn't sure if it was a loud boom or a quiet boom." He whispered quiet boom. "Mr. Bones? Oh! Are you talking about Jack?" A smile spread across his lips as He thought of his friend. "I have never seen them before. Have you?"

  "No no really, it’s okay.  I’m fine," she said accepting his hand to help her up.  She straightened her dress, more out of embarrassment of the attention than actually feeling completely askew," I was just heading back to my room, it’s fine.   Are you okay?  You didn’t hurt yourself did you?"

[cleverlyinsanehatter]

Mad picked his top hat off the floor, dusted it off and put it back on the top of his head. "I'm glad i didn't hurt you, Sweet Belle. I would feel absolutely terrible if I hurt you." He was sincere. It would hurt his little hatter heart if he hurt one of his dear friends. "Going back to your room?" He tilted his head like a very confused puppy. "You aren't going back outside?"

"Oh don't worry about me, Miss Belle. I am completely fine."
