READER IMAGINES [1]

Mad Hatter x Reader

Jefferson smiles at you, looking genuinely happy that you accepted his offer, and stands up from his seat.

"Well then, let's get going!" He says.

"Wait, we're going now?" You ask, taken back.

"Yes."

"Can't I have time to prepare myself?"

"You're clothed, you know what to do, you seem stable enough, what more is there needed to prepare?"

"But, I- I,"

Jefferson grabs your hand, dragging you away from the table, and leads you outside into the night time air. It's a bit cold and your dress is thin, because you didn't have enough money to buy a winter dress, so you wrap your arms around you to keep warm.

Jefferson doesn't notice that you're cold, so he leads on into the forest. To be honest, you're slightly afraid to be treking through a forest at night with a stranger, but you know how to put up a fight, so hopefully you'll be ok.

When you're deep into the forest and there's no one around, Jefferson stops and takes off his hat. You're standing in front of him, so when he takes off his hat he looks a bit surprised at where you're standing.

"Uh, excuse me." He says, moving you to the side, and then throwing his hat towards the ground.

You look down at his hat to see it spinning around and around on the ground, getting gradually faster, until it starts to draw out wind and suck some in inside of it.

"Where are we going?!" You shout, over the wind.

Jefferson grabs your hand before yelling to you;

"Wonderland!"

Before you can object and pull your hand away, he jumps down towards the hat, with you with him, and you both fall inside the hat. You shut your eyes as you fall, but feel your feet safely land on the ground. When you open your eyes again you see that you're in a massive room with doors surrounding you.

"Wh- Bu- How?" You ask, completely shocked.

"Haven't witnessed magic first-hand, have you?" Jefferson asks, picking up his hat from the ground.

But you thought you were in his hat! Where are you??

"No." You end up saying.

"No?"

"I have witnessed magic."

"Care to share?" Jefferson asks, crossing his arms in a manner that he's ready for a story.

"Let's keep it under the water for now. Shall we?"

Jefferson smiles that you quoted him and turns around, walking over to a particular door that looks like a mirror. He waits for you to walk beside him before he smiles at you and then walks straight through the mirror.

How is that possible?? Where did he go?? You look at the mirror thinking that you'll see him but you don't, that is, until you see his hand emerge out of the mirror and grab your own, pulling you through the looking glass as well.

When your feet land safely again, it's in a different world. Giant mushrooms, lush green grass, and giant trees with a bright blue sky welcome you. You gape at your surroundings. It's so magical!

"Does time work differently here?" You ask.

"Yes. How did you tell?" Jefferson asks you.

"It was night where we were, and now it is day."

Jefferson nods at you, seeming slightly impressed, and starts to walk down a path. You walk beside him until you see a giant catapillar resting on one of the mushrooms. The catapillar starts to stirr until it looks down at the two of you and then blows some smoke out of its cigar.
