With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
It was such a long time for Hatter to be in the upper floors of Las Noches, he was super excited. So excited, that he decided to have a party in his new Espada's room. He spent a couple of days acquiring paper, crayons, and that's right even stickers. He had made special invitations for a Tea Party, inviting everyone he thought was important.
His invitations had a crude drawing of Ulquiorra sipping from a cup of tea, with Genero in a maid's outfit serving the tea. The invitations were cut in the shape of his hat and tossed under certain doors of Las Noches, mainly other Espada rooms. They simple said, come to Ulquiorra's tea party today in his chambers. Of course Hatter didn't get permission to throw this party but he wanted to have some fun.
He had set up the table, the one from his old room. It was quite long, with a white cloth over it, and each place being set with his tea cups and saucers. Aligning the middle of this long table were several platters of sweets, mostly cookies and chocolate. He had twelve chairs around the table, each was a different size and style.
"Did I forget anything?" He asked himself looking at the set up he designed himself. He rubbed his chin with his covered hand, tilting his head slightly as he tried to think. He had the tea cups, cookies, table, and even remembered the chairs.
"What could I be forgetting?" It was the question of the century in Hatter's mind. It was after all the most important thing about his tea party. He didn't forget it, he just missed placed the tea kettle. He scratch his chin while he continued to think about what he forgot and boy did he look silly with that tea kettle on his head.
Fae smiled brightly to herself as she looked over the paper in her hands once more. She liked this piece of paper, it was very easy to understand. There was a picture of Mr. Uul-kie-ora, otherwise known to her as the really sad guy, or sometimes the sad clown, but he didn't like it when she called him that. Well anyway, the sad clown finally decided to let Fae into his room so they could play together, Fae considered all of the Espada her favorite siblings, and made herself welcome in their personal quarters and such. In fact, she got this invitation in number 10's room. She liked number 10, she always had ice cream in her room. Fae favorite was strawberry, mmmm strawberry. Fae's mouth watered at the very thought of the sweet and delicious treat that sat alone on the glass table in the Decima's room.
10 minutes later
Fae headed down the corridor to Mr. sad number four guy once more, a large bucket of strawberry ice cream in her hands. Maybe all Mr. Four needed was an ice cream. Ice cream made everyone happy, even emu's. Isn't that was the other arrancar called him? An Emu? That was a funny word, but it was shorter than Mr. Sad crying clown number four.
Fae strode up to the door, donning her favorite orange dress for the occasion. The door was already ajar, which meant Fae wouldn't have to break in, which was a relief to her because the last time she did that with a cero and they got really mad. Fae pushed the door open energetically and shouted out "Surprise Mr. Emu! I got you Ice Cream!"
Hatter looked toward his first guest, a small Arrancar girl with the ice cream. He gave her a big smile, twirled around with his arms stretched out. "Welcome! Though Mr. Emu isn't here, I'll gladly keep you company until other guest arrive." He was so happy that someone showed up, but he still couldn't find his teapot. It of course was still on his hat, balanced in such an odd way.
"Tell me fairy child, have you seen my teapot? I've been looking for it all day and I still can't find it." He came down to her level, hugging his knees, and giving her s sweet smile. He enjoyed children, even Arrancar ones. In fact he acted like a child most of the time, he could easily get along with them.
"By the way, I failed to introduce myself. My name is..is.." He trailed off for a second thinking of his name was boring, and he looked toward Fae once more. "I forget my name, just call me Mr. Hatter or just Hatter. I'll let you choose." He gave her a wink and pointed his finger up in a childish manner.
Genero in female form, preferably called Gen, sat up sharply and whacked her head on the table. She crawled out from under the table to find herself in a maid's outfit, which she didn't mind at all, rubbing the top of her hurting head, something she did mind. She looked about and saw Hatter. She had been hiding in here planning to gender bend Ulquiorra to try and cheer him up, but something had hit her. Most likely Hatter when he walked in with his table. SO Hatter had dressed her up as a maid and appeared to be arranging some kind of tea party. She picked up one of the spare invitations and chuckled to herself. This was going to be fun. She stared at Hatter.
[pink]"Why do you have a..."[/pink] she was about to ask about the tea pot, but it was hatter so it was probabaly some idea of his. [pink]"Never mind."[/pink] She looked about again and then noticed Fae with some strawberry ice cream. She shrugged. She always seemed to have ice cream. Her attention was drawn back to the tea pot. Every time she looked it seemed to be in a more ridiculous position. Currently, against all laws of causality and physics, on its spout. She shook her head. Hatter was a law onto himself.
Fae stared at the teapot on Hatter's head with shining wide eyes. She was so mesmerized by the object that she didn't pay any attention to Genero as she walked in. "Do they call you Mr. Hatter because of your funny hat? Because I never thought of wearing a tea-pot hat, I wore a cooking pot for a hat once, but it didn't work as well as normal hats, I guess why they don't ever use pots as hats in the human world" Fae spoke excitedly, rocking back and forth on her feet with her hands behind her back.
"Oh!" Fae exclaimed as she finally noticed Gen. "Your the maid in the picture!". Fae ran toward the woman and grabbed the side of her dress. "I think it's pretty, I want one too! The only dresses I have are my favorite orange one that I have now, and the one Aizen gave me, but I don't like the one Aizen gave me, its so plain so I never wear it." she ranted again as if she were talking about the most exciting thing in the world.
He gave her a curious look, reaching up, and feeling the teapot he had been looking for. His already big grin became elongated as he removed the pot from his head. "Oh joy, now the party can truly begin now that fairy girl found you." He hugged and talked to his teapot as if it could hear him. It was at this moment that he noticed Gen come out from under the table he placed over her.
"So you like the outfit? I think I have one in your size has well my fairy friend." He put his teapot on the table, removing his hat, and reaching in with his free hand. His arm went far inside his hat, all the way to his shoulder, and started to rummaged around.
He stuck his tongue out at his side while he searched inside his hat. That's when he felt what he was looking, and his face brighten with a smile. "Here we are." He pulled out a small maid outfit that looked just like Gen's. He brought it over and dangled it in front of Fae like a worm on a hook.
"You could be twins." He said while looking up at Gen and gave her a wink. "You don't mind do you?" He asked while holding the small maid's outfit in front of Fae.
She looked at the small fairy-like girl for a moment and smiled broadly. "It is gorgeous isn't it." she said with a feminine giggle. "You only have two dresses?" she said looking shocked. Having so few clothes would infuriate her to such a high level she'd probabaly attack Gin out of annoyance. She looked at her seriously for a moment. "Well, I can alter some of my old clothes to fit you." she said. "Swing by my room later and i'll measure ya so I can see how much I need to alter them."
It was then that Hatter spoke to her. She thought about this for a while. [pink]"Nah not really."[/pink] she said with a smile. [pink]"Though i'd rather you didn't knock me out and set up a table over me next time."[/pink] She added with a playful flick on his nose.
Fae smiled happily and began to dance around the room, spinning around like a child hyped on sugar....which she pretty much was half the time. "Yay, new dresses, new dresses! ~" she sang merrily.
Fae skipped up to the Hatter and took the dress from and did a little curtsy. Thats what maids did right? They walked around and did polite stuff and said polite things and sometimes called people master and then they would get chased by a giant crocodile. Yeah, stuff like that.
Fae ran out of the room without a word, holding her new maid outfit close to her as she vanished out the door. Hardly a minute later, she returned wearing the maid outfit, her bright magenta hair standing out against the ordinary colors, and her brown leather boots looking a little odd as they peaked out from the frills of her dress.
"Do I look pretty master?" Fae asked cutely, holding the sides of her dress up, trying to look like a dignified maid.
Hatter was confused at Gen's remark about the table, but he didn't really care. He rubbed his nose, while he looked at Gen. "I matters not, the end result would have been the same." Hatter said while holding his right index finger up. He was referring to her ending up in the maid's outfit, but it was weird that she didn't see to bother her that she was wearing them.
He took his attention back to Fae, kinda surprised that she suddenly left. It made him so sad to see a guest leave, but before he could cry about she returned.
"So cute." He said about Fae in her maid's outfit, he had his sleeved covered hands together, and sort of danced around her. It was too much for him to see her in such a cute way. He completely forgot about Gen at this moment.
"You mean even if you hadn't of knocked me out with the table I would of become unconcious." she said with a shrug. She looked at him for a moment and then with a big roll of her shoulders sighed deeply. "Some men really know how to treat a woman." she added with an exasperated tone. She looked over at Fae. She did look cute in it definately, but she was also definately wearing the wrong shoes. Gen looked at her own feet, she was wearing high heels that matched the dress. However, like Fae her purple hair did not really match the dress.
"So who else is coming Hatter?" she enquired indicating the lack of guests. Afterall, there was no point having two serving staff for zero guests.
