Scarab

By Jet Set Yoyo

Summary: Hatter's never seen an airplane, now he has.

Disclaimer: I don't own 'em. Workin' on it.

I was outside smoking a cigarette and an airplane flew overhead. In the dark with all the blinking lights I thought it could easily be mistaken for a Scarab; especially by Hatter who's never seen one.

Alice and Hatter were out doing a little grocery shopping one evening. The market was a little ways away from their new apartment, close to an airport. As they exited the little market a loud whooshing sound filled the air causing Hatter to stop in the middle of the road. He looked around, startled by the sudden strange sound when a large flying object appeared overhead. It was large with several blinking, colored lights and his eyes widened in fear.

The people around him seemed not to notice the strange contraption but it caused alarm bells and an adrenaline rush in his mind.

"Alice run! It's a Scarab!" he cried though she was in front of him making her way to the car. Zooming past her he fled towards the car and hopped inside throwing the two bags of groceries he was clutching into the back seat. "Alice hurry!"

Alice couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles at she climbed into the driver's seat seeing Hatter so worked up.

"Hatter, it's an airplane not a Scarab." She explained. "We use them to get across the world since it's far too big to walk."

"I-I thought they were here to get us…" he gasped, trying to calm himself down. "I wasn't going to let them take you again."

"It's alright, don't worry no one will ever separate us again." She assured him putting her hand on his arm. He relaxed and his mouth twisted into a grin.

"I hope the eggs are ok."

"Hatter! You threw the groceries!?"

"I uh... yeah."

Reviews? That would be epic. Constructive criticism greatly appreciated as well.
