This idea has been in my head for awhile, so here it goes…

Here is my version of the story when Alice met Jasper in 1948 and searched for 2 years trying to find the Cullen's and finally finding them in 1950. What happened during that time?

Chapter 1: Hope

Alice's POV

I danced happily into a diner in the smack dab middle of Philadelphia. Tonight was the night, I could just feel it, oh and I'd also seen it, duh. I was giddy with excitement I could just scream…wait, I already did!

I sat at the bar and ordered a glass of water and a burger. I wouldn't eat it of course. But I had to pretend. I looked around and saw a couple of men staring at me. I glared back. I knew they were looking at me because either a.) I was beautiful, b.) I had creepy, weird golden eyes, or c.) They found out I was a vampire. I'm going to go with option a.), there was no way they had found out I was a vampire, and my eyes were well hidden.

2 hours later and not much had happened, I had got my burger and 'ate' it, I had taken a 'bathroom break', and oh yeah, I almost slapped a guy in the face. He came up and told me to come and hang out with his creepy friends. No way! He was a creeper and I knew it. Also, there was no way I was going to leave. I had to wait for him to come.

I knew I was waiting long, but I had all eternity and I'd wait forever for him to come. I'd already been waiting and searching for a couple short years, but today was the day.

Jasper's POV

I finally stopped running long enough to come to an inn in Philadelphia, I had no clue where I was going, or what I was trying to find. I had been away from Peter and Charlotte for awhile and now I would have to be on my own. I took out a pair of worn sunglasses from my bag. My bright red irises were glistening, and I knew that could be a little creepy. I was wearing long shirt and pants, to hide my battle scars, but there was nothing I could do about the ones on my face and neck.

As I entered the inn I noticed a beautiful lady sitting at the bar. She turned when the door opened and her large smile, if possible, became wider. She looked like a tiny little pixie, with short spiky black hair, small pixie like features, and she stood at only 4'10'. I sniffed…vampire. I braced myself to defend, that was all my past had to offer me, but I couldn't hurt this beautiful, tiny vampire girl. I used my power to check her emotions. She was very happy, too happy for a vampire, and excited. She danced over to me and opened her mouth to speak.

"You've kept me waiting a long time," she told me casually in her trilling singsong voice. Her words shocked me. Who was she and why had she been waiting for me?

Without thinking I answered in my southern accent, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

She held out her hand, and unthinking again, I took it. As soon as our hands touched I felt hope for the first time in a century. I hoped our future would be bright. I hoped I'd get to stay with this strange pixie girl. And I hoped to hope. We left the little inn and ran to the forest.
