Chapter 1. Temptation, Time, and Emotion
Alice Cullen smiled to herself. Even though she knew that Bella would probably kill her for this, she couldn't resist the temptation. Besides, what Bella didn't know -yet- wouldn't hurt her…right? "Jasper," she called, "do you think Bella and Edward would like this one, or that one?" she pointed to two different houses that were for sale.
Jasper sighed. "Alice, I really don't think this is such a good idea…"
"Oh, nonsense, it's a terrific idea!"
"More like terrible. Why are you asking me anyway? Aren't you the psychic one?"
Alice rolled her eyes. "Well, it's obviously because I saw myself asking you your opinion…and I wouldn't want to go messing with the way the time-continuum or whatever it's called, now would I?"
"Right. Like I'd buy that one."
"WHICH ONE?!" Alice shrieked excitedly.
"No, no….I meant about you messing with time, because I know that you would."
"Oh. Well, yeah, I…guess you're right about that…" She looked away.
"See, I know you better than you do!" He laughed.
"Prove it, which house would I buy of the two?"
He thought carefully for a moment. "The one on the left."
"Wrong! I picked the one on the right."
"You cheated, didn't you?"
"Maybe…"
"See, I told you. I know you more than you thought."
Alice began laughing, than suddenly stopped and gasped.
"Alice? What'd you see?"
"It's Edward, he just…" She blinked away tears. "he just bought me the cutest new car! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy!!"
Jasper frowned. "I could change that you know. You don't even know how close you came to making me have a heart attack."
"Nah, you know you could never bear to see me upset, especially if you were the cause."
"Yeah, that's true. Just don't scare me like that again."
"Hey, you know what?"
"No, but I'm sure you are going to tell me."
"You still didn't pick which house those two would like best."
"Why don't you just let them buy a house on their own, besides, why wouldn't they just stay here?"
Alice turned hysterical. "Oh pshaw!! Do you really think they'd do that? What about the treaty, remember? They aren't just going to stick around and wait for their doom." She thought for a minute. "Although knowing Bella, doom will probably follow them even if they were to go to another planet."
"What's this about Bella going to another planet, Alice?" Edward was standing in the doorway.
"Eh, um, uh…gee, thanks Edward, you shouldn't have!?" She said nervously. "Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got a wedding to plan! Bye!" She pushed past Edward and dashed out of the house.
"Want to tell me what that was all about, Jasper?"
"Not really, no, and you'll find out soon enough anyway." Jasper closed his eyes. "I may know Alice better than anyone, but I just don't get the way that mind of hers thinks."
