A/N: Yay, Alice is finally posting a new story. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. And, here's the deal. I don't have many other twilight fanfics in the works or in pre-production. I'm going to try, but don't expect much anymore. I'm not going to be throwing out stories like I use to be. It might be weeks or months before I post anything again after this. On the other hand, though, I'm really into team Deric right now, and so you might possibly see some That 70's Show fics coming from me. Might.

The plot of this one is really hard to explain. It's kind of a "more than friends" type thing.

Anyway, that's all for now. Read and Review - Alice xoxo

P.S. where's my dancie? I miss her.

It was unusually hot that September morning in Mississippi as Alice stood outside, waiting for her mama, Esme, to come outside. The older kids, Edward, and Emmett, and the other big kids on the street, had already left because they were in upper elementary school, which was 4th - 6th grade, and they start school at 8:00. Most of the other kids on the block were in upper or middle – 1st through 3rd – elementary school, so they were all leaving to go.

Alice peeked her head inside to see what was taking her mama so long. "Mama!" she cried, impatient, "I want to go to school now!"

The poor girl has been waiting to go to school for years and years. She's watched her brother and the kids on the street walk to school every day with hopeful and longing eyes. Now, it was her turn to go to school but her mama was being much too slow.

"Alice, dear," she said, "come inside, you don't have to go in until 12:30. You're in afternoon kindergarten."

Alice went all the way into her large house and stamped her foot. "No! I want to go now!"

"Be a good girl, Alice. You still have to have breakfast, and my friend is coming over, because Jasper is going to be in your class."

"Whose Jasper?" she asked, even though she knew who Jasper was. He came over sometimes to play, even though Alice didn't like to play with him. He always got into her toys. And he didn't know how to play Mommy and Baby the right way. He wasn't s good baby, even though he had a real live baby living in his house.

"You know who Jasper is, Alice. You two always have fun together, now, come on and get some cereal," Esme said, and Alice followed her into the kitchen where she picked out the kind of cereal she wanted. Lucky Charms, obviously. Alice like to save the marshmallows for last, because they get squishy after soaking in the milk.

As Alice sat at the table and ate her breakfast, when the old-fashioned-sounding doorbell rang. "That must be them," Esme said and she went to go answer the door. Alice rolled her eyes as she listened to her mom saying things to them. She told Jasper that there was some cereal in the kitchen, and he could go pick out whatever kind he wanted.

Then, the boy with messy blonde hair and hazel eyes, who – much to their parents disbelief – Alice doesn't really like, came into the kitchen. He sat down at the table next to Alice and watched her eat.

"Is there something that I could help you with?" she asked, and Jasper shook his head and his blonde hair went in all directions. His hair was sort of curly, but not as curly as Alice's was, who black hair naturally had loose ringlets.

"No," Jasper answered, "I do want some cereal, though. I want some Lucky Charms, like you have."

"Well, you can't. They are mine," Alice said, as she at the last of the colorful marshmallows. She lifted the bowl and tilted it back so she could drink the milk that was left in it.

"Please, I give you a surprise," Jasper said, teasingly. A surprise? Alice loved surprises as much as the next person.

"Ok," she said excitedly as she got off the chair and went over to the counter and got the box of Lucky Charms. She put that on the table and then went to go get the milk. Since Alice couldn't reach them in the cupboard, she had to use the bowl that she ate from.

As carefully as possible, Alice poured some cereal into the bowl, and then tried to add the milk, but that was a little harder. She ended up spilling some onto the table.

"Here, eat it while I clean up," she said, pushing the bowl towards Jasper before she got some paper towels. As she was cleaning the spill, her mama, along with Jasper's mama, came in, pushing baby Sasha in her stroller. Sasha was playing with her toys that were on the tray of her stroller.

"What are you doing?" Esme said. She got some cereal without milk and put it on Sasha's tray where she ate them one at a time. Sasha was the cutest baby in the world, Alice thought. She had blonde hair that was thin and straight, and hazel eyes that Jasper and Jasper's older sister, Rosie had.

"I made Jasper breakfast, then he is going to give me a surprise," Alice answered. After she finished cleaning up the mess, she sat there and watched Jasper eat.

"Really? A surprise?" Jasper's mama, Katie, asked. Jasper blushed.

"Yeah, mama. I'm gonna give her a… surprise," he said shyly.

"Tell me what it is, Jasper. Please?" Alice asked impatiently.

"No, it's a surprise. If it wasn't, then I would've already told you. That's the whole point, Alice."

"Well," Katie said to Alice, "you're going to have to tell me what it is later, because I have to go to work." Then, she looked like she was going to cry as she kissed Jasper on the cheek. Again, he blushed. "Goodbye, sweetie. Have a good day at school, and Esme will pick you up after."

"Ok, don't cry, mama," Jasper said, which only made Katie cry, and that made Jasper want to cry. "It's ok, mama," he said, looking really sad, "I'll be good, don't worry."

"I know it, Jasper. I love you." She kissed him again, and then kissed Sasha before leaving.

"Why was your mama crying?" Alice asked quietly as Jasper finished eating. They left the room and were going upstairs so Alice could get her surprise.

Jasper shrugged. "I don't know. She never cries when she leaves me and Sasha and Rosie here or at the other baby-sitter's."

Once they were in Alice's room, she was about ready to burst with excitement. "Come on, Jasper, what's the big surprise?" She was jumping up and down.

Jasper blushed for the third time in ten minutes. "Close your eyes, and I will give it to you." Alice did as she was told but could not stop smiling, that is until she felt something not right. She opened her eyes and pushed Jasper away.

"Jasper, don't ever, ever, ever kiss me ever again," she yelled, and poor, shy little Jasper who liked Alice so much, started to cry. That made Alice feel bad. "I didn't mean to shout, Jasper. But you can't kiss me. We're too young and we'll get cooties."

"I'm s-sorry," he said, rubbing his eyes. "I won't kiss you again. Ever again."

"Ok," Alice said. "Now, it's time to play Mommy and Baby."

Jasper sighed, annoyed. He knew that it was going to be a long day…
