New Friends

Alice POV

I lifted out of the haze that was my vision and glanced anxiously at the French teacher who would dismiss us in three….two…one.

"Au revoir classe!"

YES! I bolted out of the room as quickly as I could without the humans being suspicious and dashed into the lunchroom to find Bella buried in an old tattered book. "BELLA, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! I promise you won't regret this decision!"

She sighed and lifted her head up to look at me. "Alice I don't want this party to be that big of a deal."

I rolled my eyes. "You worry too much Bella!" Besides, it'll only be us, Emmett, Rose….and a few new friends." I smiled at the thought of finally meeting the two men who had been missing from our family for so long. I'd had more than one vision about them, the striking tall blonde who I knew I would fall in love with, and my new brother, with his horribly disheveled bronze hair.

Bella sighed, frustrated. "And you aren't going to tell me who these people are, are you?"

"Cheer up Bella, it's not every day that you turn 100," Emmett boomed from behind us. "Though I'd be pretty bummed out too if I was that old."

Rosalie laughed, appearing next to him and walking over to sit down beside Bella at our table. "Emmett, what are you talking about? You're ten times older than she is…..you're what, six hundred something now?"

Emmett grinned. "Almost there….a few hundred years or so more. But you still love me anyway, don't you Rosie?"

But Rose didn't answer him, letting out a hiss instead at the vampire approaching us….the one I had been waiting for my entire existence. I turned around and crossed my arms at the incredibly irresistible man in front of me. "You've kept me waiting a long time you know."

He looked at me curiously and ducked his head as I knew he would, and apologized. I laughed and took his hand in mine, the feeling so right. "Jasper, this is Rosalie, Emmett, and Bella." I beamed at my sister, knowing that her future would be just as bright as mine.

Rosalie glared at me. "Alice, I think you have a lot of explaining to do…"

I sighed. "Rose, trust me, I know how this is going to turn out."

Emmett laughed. "She is the psychic you know."

Jasper turned to look at me curiously. "Psychic?"

"Her gift," Bella started to respond. But Bella's voice began to drift away as I was transported to a different time, a different place…..

Bella laughed weightlessly, her face glowing as I had only seen before in my visions. "Edward, Alice will kill you if you ruin this dress you know."

Another vampire, obvious enough to anyone of our kind, with his pale skin and golden eyes, was crouched down onto the plush carpet that covered the floor, ready to spring.

I glanced around this new room. Whoever had designed it obviously had impeccable taste. There was a wide, black, leather sofa in one corner of the room, and a stereo that I could tell had been super expensive. The walls were draped in a gorgeous fabric, for good acoustics I'd guessed. An impressive collection of CD's lined his shelves, proving my theory.

I turned back to the vampire I knew to be Edward. He snarled playfully, and lunged for Bella, pinning her quickly to the floor. She laughed, exultant. "You know that's not fair, you're just too fast-"

Edward smiled at her words and cut her off with a slow, passionate kiss. "Was that slow enough for you my love?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him once more, all thoughts of her previous questions abandoned…

"ALICE!" I heard Emmett yell, snapping me out of my vision. "What'd you see?"

I looked at Bella in wonder and amazement. After 100 years of solitude….I couldn't believe that she would finally find her match.

"Same as usual," I lied. "New dress I ordered last week just came in."

"Well I'd still like to know what's going on," Rose seethed, obviously uncomfortable with the fact that there was a new vampire in Forks. I smiled, oblivious to my sisters' words, knowing that any second now I would be meeting the man who would forever change our Bella's life.

"From what you just saw," I heard my soon-to-be brother say from behind me. "I'd like to know as well."

I frowned, not expecting Edward's words. I was rarely surprised…."How did you know-"

"He reads minds." Jasper said simply.

Rosalie slammed her hand down onto the table. "EXCUSE ME! I don't care what stupid talent he's got. If you can read my mind, then you obviously know that I want to know what's going ON here!"

I sighed at Rosalie's impatience. "This is Edward Cullen, Jasper's brother. Edward this is Emmett, Rose, and Isabella, but Bella for short." I motioned to each of my brothers and sisters, and turned to Rose to explain. "Long story short, they're here as Carlisle Cullen sons, and they've decided to enroll in high school. They hunt animals just like us, and they lived in Forks seventy years ago, and decided to come back now, because they like it here." I turned to Edward. "Anything I missed?"

"That's the story, yes." Edward replied calmly, already aware of my gift because of his own ability.

"Carlisle Cullen….as in Forks' newest doctor?" Rosalie asked, taken off guard. "But he's a vampire…"

Edward nodded curtly. "Yes."

"Seems we have a lot to learn about each other," Bella murmured, avoiding Edward's gaze. How cute! She would be blushing like crazy had she been human. I started to picture of a vision I'd had of the two of them in his meadow where she had been just as shy….

Edward's head snapped up to look at me, and I quickly began to recite the Declaration of Independence, hoping to keep him out of my mind. No peeking, Edward!

Edward laughed. "Fair enough Alice."

Emmett, noticing the exchange, grinned widely. "So Edward, if you can read minds, what am I thinking now?"

Edward laughed. "You're wondering where Rosalie hid the remote last night."

"Cool! How about Bella and Rosie?" Emmett asked excitedly.

"Well Rosalie isn't too thrilled with our presence…although she trusts Alice, and she's intrigued enough to put up with us, for now." Emmett chuckled. "As for Bella…" He turned to gaze at her with a look that would make any human melt into a pile of goo. Bella avoided his gaze and simply smiled, confident of her own gift. "I can't seem to get a read on her."

I laughed at the situation. "Well Rose, I know you'd had plans in mind about the broom closet on the second floor, and if the two of you don't leave now, the janitor will bust in on you."

"I'm not going yet, you still have to explain-"But Emmett cut Rosalie off, whispering something that was clearly seductive in her ear. The two of them left the cafeteria without another word.

"Well sit down Edward, Jasper." I said, as I took a seat next to Bella. "Rose was right…there's still a lot of explaining I have left to do."

So should I continue the story? Let me know what you think!
