Alice POV;
"Jasper," I moaned, "I love you so much."
In fact, caught up in the throes of passion as I was, I was completely caught off guard when a vision struck
"Oh!" I gasped, half-focused on the vision and half-focused on the gorgeous man atop me. The vision was murky, as if whatever triggered this wasn't decided, yet, either.
I heard lots and lots of noises. Cards shuffling, excited heartbeats, distinct beeps of machines, and many, many voices. Some of the said voices were exclaiming in glee, others groaning in frustration. I then saw six people I immediately recognized come into the picture.
Emmett and I were bouncing at vampire speed, though, looking to humans as if we were just standing there. Bella, I could see, was smiling and rolling her eyes at us, to a very happy Edward. Jasper and Rosalie stood behind us all, shaking their heads at our excitement.
The vision faded into blackness, and I refocused onto Jaspers face. The vision, however, left me grinning.
"Jasper," I whispered, beaming brightly at him. Jaspers eyes lit up. After all, he was probably sensing my giddiness and excitement.
"What did you see, Alice?"
"Well," I started, "it's not decided, yet… But… I think we're going to Vegas.!"
Jasper grinned, his eyes almost-but-not-quite glazing over. No doubt he was reminiscing about the many fun times we had had in Vegas in the past.
"Who exactly is we?" Was Jaspers question.
"Everyone but Jake, Nessie, and the parents," I joked.
Jaspers grin widened, as did my own. We hadn't been to Vegas in a number of years, it seemed. Before Edward met Bella, it was a yearly thing for all of us 'kids' to go and spend a week there. We hadn't been there in almost five years, now.
"Oh, Jazz!" I exclaimed, probably a bit over-excited, "This will be so much fun! I know Bella has never been there, and shes certainly never seen Vegas portrayed the way we do it. We'll need to wait for a week where there's fairly omniscient weather, make reservations, buy new clothes to pack, get new IDs made…"
I said all this very quickly, my voice bubbly. I then frowned.
"Oh, I hope everyone will want to go, Jazz. I mean, I saw all of us there, but what if something comes up? What if Bella doesn't want to leave Nessie? Edward won't leave her alone… I know he is not going to want too, because of what happened two years ago with the Volturi."
"Honey, your emotions are kind a whirlwind," Jasper told me, frowning, though his eyes shone with happiness. He put a hand on my shoulder and I instantly felt a more remote happiness. I was much calmer thanks to my husband's subtle gift.
Sighing happily, I placed a kiss to his lips. "Thanks, Jazz. Now, we need to rouse up our siblings and explain the plan!"
"Who do you think thought of it, Alice?"
"I have my suspicions about Emmett," I said. I stood up and did a happy little dance. "Emmett was the only one equally as excited as I was to be there. Everyone else just looked… happy."
Jasper chuckled, shaking his head through my exuberance. "At least no one was frowning."
I shrugged, deciding not to argue the point. "Either way," I told him "We need to discuss it with our siblings. I think, before we do that, though, I should plan a week in advance so I can't really give them a chance to back out."
I closed my eyes, and searched ahead, again, into a more-clearly-than-usual-for-most-people-but-still-pretty-undecided future. I found my Vegas vision in my head again, and concentrated on it. Once I decided that we would all be attending Vegas during a week with not-so-fantastic weather, though, the vision shifted. It was of Jasper and I, in a hotel suite. A hotel suite with a balcony that overlooked the city. The sun was just setting, though you could hardly see it through the clouds I searched around in the vision, for a hint of what day it was. As luck would have it, my vision-Jasper pulled out his phone to read a text message. I quickly replayed that part, focusing in on the phones screen. It flashed 6:33 PM.
I came out of the vision, as I always did, with Jasper looking into my eyes. I smiled at him brightly.
"We need to figure out when, in Vegas, the sun will set around 6:30 PM. This week will be cloudy and overcast, but have barely any rain."
Jasper did the time difference in his head. I listened to his muttering.
"Well, the sun just set here about an hour and a half ago, and its 8:30 now… It would've set in Vegas at about the same time, which would be around seven o'clock. If the sun sets two minutes earlier every day as it normally does, that's in about two weeks."
"Two weeks, then," I decided, more excited than ever. It seemed this trip really would happen, after all. I quickly got off the bed and ran over to Jaspers wardrobe [honestly, I don't know why the boy didn't just let me turn his 'game room' into his very own walk-in closet. I mean, I have my own! He should, too!] I stepped up on the first shelf and reached to grab Jaspers laptop, which I was back on the bed with in seven seconds flat.
I turned it on and waited for it to load. Stupid, as-fast-as-they-come-but-still-not-able-to-load-up-fast-enough-for-a-Vampire laptop.
One excruciating minute later, I was logged on and clicking on Internet Explorer. I went to favorites and clicked 'The Weather Channel.' It started to load, always too slow for a being as fast as myself. As a family of Vampires who need to know the weather when I can't see it completely, so we don't accidentally go out in sunlight and expose ourselves, the Weather Channel website was book marked on all of our personal computers.
I went to Vegas and searched the weather in two weeks. Great! A cold front would be coming in about 12 days, which meant that the skies would be overcast for almost all seven days, Monday to Sunday. We could just stay in our hotel rooms on Thursday, when the sun was supposed to peek through.
Ahh, I could see, now. Yes, this trip was definitely happening, no matter what I had to do to make it happen.
"Jasper, I can see now. We're going in twelve days! Let's call a sibling meeting to discuss it. Even though, if I have to give up an arm and a leg, this trip will happen."
I got ready to jump off the bed and go running downstairs, until Jasper chuckled at my phrase, scooped me up and ran me over to my large walk-in-closet, so I could get dressed.
Hmm… I hadn't even noticed I hadn't been wearing anything but a bra this whole time.
Bella POV;
I was playing a card game with Renesmee. We were playing a game called speed, which was a lot more exciting when you both had vampire-fast reflexes. Each game took, at most, forty five seconds. Being that I wasn't half-human, though, I usually won, unless Nessie cheated when Edward would distract me. Said culprit was sitting next to me, and he would occasionally kiss my cheek or run his hand up my back. We were all sitting peacefully in our little cottage, a mere five miles from the Cullen household.
I just won my twenty-third game when I sensed my phone was about to ring. I set my cards down and flashed into my room, grabbing the phone that had barely begun to play even one note of the song 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun.'
"Hello, dearest sister, Alice," I answered it. I could hear my pixie-like sister giggling on the other end.
"Hello, darling sister, Bella," Alice greeted me just a formally, "Having fun playing Speed with your daughter?"
"Actually, I was, until you called. Though if you knew I was having fun you probably wouldn't have called unless this was important, right?"
"Right. I need you and Edward at the house, stat. We're having a sibling meeting about a vision I had."
"Oh no," I sighed, always jumping to conclusions, "Is it bad?"
"Not at all bad, dearest sister. It should be really good, actually. Now, get you and that almost-as-overly-reactive brother of mine over here."
"Will do, Alice-dear," I told her, hanging up just seconds before she could hang up on me.
"Edward," I sang, flashing back into our quaint little dining room. He was by my side at an instant.
"Yes, love?"
"Alice wants 'you and me over to the house, stat.'"
"Oh, okay," Edward said, grinning crookedly, "Anything bad?"
"Nope, she said it should be really good."
"Oh, well, if that's the case…" Edward trailed off. He leaned down quickly to scoop me up, bridal-style, into his arms. I looked over his shoulder at my daughter, who was watching us with a slight guarded, but curious, expression. It was silly that she looked to be about eight years old, when she was technically only about two. Though, of course, she acted much, much older than she looked. Or was, for that matter.
"C'mon, Nessie," I said, smiling, "Climb aboard. You can come, too."
Renesmee flipped backwards out of her chair, always so graceful, and onto her father's shoulders, while he continued to carry me bridal-style.
Edward opened the door and was off into the night. I smiled contentedly and stared at the stars. Renesmee stared at them, too.
It took us about a minute and a half to reach the house. I immediately sprang out of Edwards arms to run through the doors and give all of my siblings hugs, while Renesmee continued to lounge on Edwards shoulders.
"Hello there, Bella," I heard Jasper chuckle as I hugged him. I was quick to grin in response. Jeez, whatever Alice had planned had him happy, too.
"Hello, Aunt Alice!"
The mentioned vampire turned to Renesmee. Alice held her arms out, with a big smile, and Nessie used Edwards shoulders to jump into them, so she could hug the said Aunt. Rosalie was next, along with Jasper, and finally she jumped directly onto Emmett's shoulders, touching her hand to his face. Probably 'showing' him something that was funny, because Emmett started laughing.
"Jeez, Edward. Bella's been a Vampire for two years and you still carry her around like a human?"
Edward rolled his eyes at me, and turned to Emmett. "Alice said 'stat', and Bella is almost the slowest runner of us all!"
I hissed at him, pretending to be angry. I knew it was true, though. After my newborn strength had waned, I was only faster than Renesmee and Esme. Even Jacob ran faster than I did!
Emmett came behind me and punched me on the shoulder. "It's all in good fun, Bella. You are pretty slow, too."
I huffed. "Whatever," I said, sitting on the couch and rolling my eyes. Rosalie and Emmett came to sit next to me, while Edward was next to me in an instant, picking me up and setting me down on his lap.
"Okay!" Alice began, bouncing on the balls of her feet and clapping her hands so fast that it looked as if they were one of those silly toys with the hands that never stop.
"Alice, Jasper, why are you blocking me if this is supposed to be a good thing?"
"Shush, Edward. This is a good thing. I'm blocking you so you'll be surprised and won't have that stupid little smile you get when you know something before everyone else. Besides, one of you already knows, because one of you thought of it," Alice snapped back.
Suddenly, Emmett jumped up and started bouncing up-and-down almost as fast as Alice was. His eyes were alight with excitement and he was guffawing loudly. I worried for the safety of my daughter, who was on his massive shoulders, but she seemed fine.
"I know what it is, I know what it is! I thought of it! I KNOW WHAT IT IS!"
"Vegas, Alice?" I heard Edward say from underneath me, "I don't know…"
Rosalie's normally bored face brightened instantly. "Vegas? Really? Are we going? Oh, we haven't been there in /forever/…"
Alice grinned, and the effect was instantaneous. Rosalie's smile slowly crept onto her face. Alice and Emmett started bouncing, faster than ever. I could almost hear Edwards brow crease in thought. Jasper's waves of joy and excitement we're almost enough to help me understand in my confusion.
"Wait a second," I said, my brow furrowed, "Vegas? What about it? Are we going there or something? And who's we?"
Alice rolled her eyes. "Yes, Vegas. We are going there in 12 days. Jasper's already booked the plane tickets. And it's us, minus Renesmee, because she's too young."
I looked at my daughter, who seemed happy, though she wouldn't be coming with us. I was worried, though. Could I leave her for… "Wait, how long are we leaving for, anyways?"
"Silly Bella. It's only a week, and Nessie will be fine. Carlisle and Esme will take care of her. Jake will be here, too, you know that. I can already see it. Well, I see us returning home to happy, healthy Nessie."
So, that solved one problem. Many more came to my head, though.
"Why are we going? What am I supposed to pack? None of us are old enough, technically, either. We would need fake IDs. Oh, J's probably making them, isn't he? Wait, Alice, Vegas is sunny! Especially in August! Where are we staying? Are we going to be gambling? We'll need money!"
I saw Alice roll her eyes. "Bella, everything is covered. We are going to Vegas to have a good time as siblings. You will need new clothes, but we have almost two weeks to go shopping. Yes, J will make us all fake IDs. I've already checked, Bella. The week we'll be there is going to be really cloudy with some rain, and only one slightly sunny day. We'll be staying at Planet Hollywood for two days, MGM for two days, and Caesars Palace for the last three. And, we have millions upon millions of dollars, Bella, honestly! We just need to get some out of the some banks." Alice addressed her other siblings now, "I figure a million for each one of us?"
"No way, Alice," Rosalie disagreed, "You know I love betting big, especially against all those whales at Caesars."
"Yeah," Emmett said, standing behind his wife and putting a hand on her lower back, "At least three million."
Edward stood up from the couch and came to stand beside me. "Three million is a lot, Emmett. Two million sounds good. If we really need more after that, we can just get some cash out of an ATM or something."
I was sure if I was still human, I would've passed out by now. Two million dollars?! EACH?!
As it was, I started hyperventilating, no matter how unnecessary the air was to my lungs. I could see that Alice and Rosalie were rolling their eyes, and Emmett was laughing at me. Almost instantly, Renesmee was on my shoulders, trying to soothe me with pictures of sunsets, paintings, the tune Edward constantly hummed for her… Jasper had a calming hand on my arm and Edward was staring deep into my eyes.
"Bella, calm down! It really isn't that much, when you're in Vegas, with all the whales there and everything. A lot of whales spend almost five million in one visit to a casino, in a weekend!" Edward's vevety voice, combined with the others soothing influences, started to calm me down.
"Yeah, Bella," I could hear Jasper saying quietly, "And that's an average. Some spend more. Besides, it really isn't much of a dent in our savings. It's twelve million out of, maybe, the five or six hundred million we've accumulated over the years. Plus, with Alice's, Edward's, and my own gifts, we're sure to win more than that back, anyways."
"Yeah, yeah, you cheaters," I heard Emmett grumble, obviously upset that he didn't have a special gift to help him win. Renesmee must've shown him something to cheer him up, though, because he laughed quietly.
I simply nodded. "I don't think I'll need two million, anyways. I'm not going to gamble. I don't even know how to play most of the games."
Alice walked towards me slowly, a deadly look on her face. "Bella, I said two million each, and you will spend your two million and be happy, got it? I will not have your first trip to Vegas be unmemorable because you don't want to waste money!"
Sighing, I nodded, hoping to replace the topaz color back into her eyes. "Fine, fine, Alice. You're going to have to teach me to gamble, though."
"Actually, Bella, I think if Alice teaches you, it won't be as beneficial, because she'll use her powers. I think I should teach you," Rosalie spoke up.
Alice's now-topaz eyes glazed over as she searched the future. She was back with us in an instant, though, smiling with all her perfect, ultra-white teeth.
"Yes, Rose, that's a good idea. You and Bella will have lots of fun, and I'll even be present for some of it. My vision kind of… Stops, though. I think maybe Jacob comes over or something."
"Excellent," said my husband, a smile sounding in his voice, "I finally get my Bella to spend some big money, for a change. We're going to Vegas!"
