Grown-up, Seattle-born Alice wanders through Wonderland’s forest. Lost, she yells for help. The Mad Hatter appears. Once she’s over his attractiveness, Alice reveals Hatter’s fairy godmother’s warning: they’ve been allotted three days to fall in love, or Wonderland will disintegrate along with Hatter’s mental stability. Hatter’s only response is to offer breakfast.

Alice finds herself dining at the Mad Hatter’s tea party. Much to her delight and Hatter’s alarmed confusion, Alice magically conjures new clothes and lace gloves to go along with this fantasy-come true. Their conversation grows more absurd until Alice reminds Hatter they only have two days left for Wonderland to accept her. After they leave to find Leonard, the mouse chef, Wonderland gives a tiny indication that Alice is Hatter’s true love.
