AN-I always promise myself I wouldn't write a song fic for my very first story but this little bunny would not leave me alone. I also wanted to begin with a 'Positive Alice' fiction because my favorite romantic pairing is Jasper/Bella. So yes, this is a song ficiton. I used Enya's song "Wild Child" because the first time I listened to it after I became so involved in Twilight fanfiction, I thought it tipified Alice and her personality to a 't'. I recommend you listen to "Wild Child" before you read this. It will help you understand the mood of the story. Also, this was written (very carefully) and read through only a couple of times. I thought this would lend a bit of impulsive roughness to the natural background of the story.

Alice was out for a solo run through the woods on a rare sunny day in Forks, Washington. She had on a sleeveless calf length pale green sun dress and her skin sparkled prettily in the sunlight. Alice paused for a moment, taking an unnecessary breath as she came upon some wild flowers. Plopping down just like a child, Alice crafted a circle of flowers and placed them on her head as if they were a crown and she a princess.

Ever close your eyes
Ever stop and listen
Ever feel alive
and you've nothing missing
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on

Alice was content at the moment. She had always loved the forest. With her heightened vampire senses, she always felt as if she knew the forest in a way which few other beings were capable. She stood as she felt a drop of water land on her arm. She looked heavenward and found it was beginning to rain. Still gazing upward, Alice let the rain soak her, as if to cleanse her of all the negativity of her existance. She looked straight ahead of herself to enjoy the sunlight that was still illuminating the completely sodden forest. Briefly, Alice giggled to herself and took off, on barefeet, sprinting at vampire speed.

Let the rain fall down
Everywhere around you
Give into it now
Let the day surround you
You don't need a reason
Let the rain go on and on

Alice's dress clung to her and she lost her crown of wild flowers, but that didn't matter. The rain, the carefree feeling in her heart, and her innate joy overshadowed the temporary nature of those conditions. She let her joy expand within her soul and wished her beloved Jasper was there to feel as she did.

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child

Alice had taken the run to get away from the pressures of the family. Not that she regretted living with them; she definitely didn't feel that way. She just seemed to have to track more of her visions as of late and she had been feeling a little smothered by everything.

Jasper felt this and had suggested she take some time to herself. Only on rare occasions did Alice get to the point where she needed solitude and Jasper had known she would take a run through the forest with no other purpose but to soothe her somewhat frayed nerves and take the time to wonder at the beauty of life.

Only take the time
From the helter skelter
Everyday you find
Everything's in kilter
You don't need a reason
Let the day go on and on

Alice stopped in the middle of a meadow and spun in a circle, laughing in care free abandon after she realized the moisture on her skin added a new dimension to her physical sparkle. She felt as if her soul was being cleansed and came to the conclusion that there was a heaven for one such as herself. How could there not be?

Alice reflected on her many years, having always taken care to notice the changing seasons. She always had a child-like wonder of the nature of the world as the seasons gradually blended together to form the natural order of life.

Every summer sun
Every winter evening
Every spring to come
Every autumn leaving
You don't need a reason
Let it all go on and on

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child

Alice sat down right on the spot where she'd just been spinning. She started to gather a bouquet of wild flowers, enjoying the fragrance. She would take it home so she could dry them. Alice wanted them nearby so she could have a piece of the forest with her when she couldn't get away from it all.

She stood with the bouquet of wild flowers and began the run back to her home and family. She made sure to notice all that was around her as she ran at half speed, having a sudden need to linger even as she ran steadily onward.

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child

Da-da da da da da, da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

In her own unique style, Alice cleared the river that ran behind her home and landed on her left leg, her right one a few inches off the ground. The scent of her mate was intense which meant he was outside waiting for her return. The thought made her grin shyly and she began to skip.

What a day, what a day to take to
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to
Da-da-da
da-da-da-da-da-da
What a way, what a way to make it through
What a day, what a day to take to
What a day, what a day to take to a wild child
What a day, what a day to take to...

Alice's smile grew loving as she spotted Jasper. He rose from his seat on the back steps and jogged to her, catching her up in his arms tightly as she lunged at him. Jasper ignored the moisture seeping into his clothes as he basked in the light of his mate. His laughter mingled with her's as she kicked her dirty feet up behind her.

What a day, what a day to take to a wild child
