It was a quiet day in the Cullen's house. Bella was there so she and Edward were up in his room doing who knows what, and Emmett, the usual loud one, was hunting with Rosalie. Alice and Jasper sat on the couch, hand in hand.

"Hey, Jasper, Wanna see who can drink water the fastest?" Alice asked cheerfully.

"Honey, we don't drink water."

"Yes, but, it'd be fun!"

Jasper pursed his lips. "Alright." He said with a smile.

They ran to the kitchen and were back on the couch with glasses of water in the next second.

"Okay," Alice said, "one…"

"Two…" Jasper said.

"Three!" They both shouted at the same time and chugged down the water in half a second.

"Um… was that a… tie?" Jasper asked.

"I don't know but-" Alice stopped because she felt a strange jolt in her throat and it made her jump slightly.

"What, Alice?" Jasper asked, thinking she was having a vision. The jolt occurred again and this time Alice let out a little squeak. "Did you just…. Squeak?"

"I… I don't know. It's like this kind of"-jolt with a squeak-"explosion in my throat." She answered. Bella came down the stairs with Edward. Alice hopped up.

"Hello, Bella! I didn't know" She felt another jolt "you were here, want to go" –jolt- "Shopping?"

Bella giggled. "Alice, do you have the hiccups?"

Alice gasped. "Is that what that is? The" –squeak- "explosion in my throat?"

"It's called a hiccup, and that's when you eat or drink something really fast… wait I thought you didn't eat…" Bella was confused.

"Jasper and I" –squeak- "Got bored. This is starting to get" –squeak- "very annoying!" Edward chuckled softly.

"So now someone gets a taste of their own medicine. You finally know how it is to be annoyed, huh, Alice?" He said. Alice just stuck her tongue out at Edward and walked back to the couch.

"How do I" –squeak- "Get rid of them?" Alice asked. Edward was suddenly angry.

"Look it up online, Alice." He said, and took Bella back upstairs. Alice growled quietly but went over to the computer and searched "How to get rid of hiccups" on Google. One way was to plug your nose and hold your breath for as long as possible. Alice decided to try it, and she hiccupped as she walked back to the couch to sit next to Jasper. She sat down and plugged her nose.

"Alice… Honey… what are you doing?" Jasper asked, looking at her like she was insane.

"One of the ways" –hiccup- "to get rid of"-hiccup-"hiccups is to hold your breath and"-hiccup- "plug your nose." She replied.

"Alice, you don't need to breath."

"Jasper, please I really want to…" She hiccupped and took a deep breath. "Dang it! Now I have to" –hiccup-"start over! Jasper please be quiet." She plugged her nose again and held her breathe. Jasper rolled his eyes and wait for Alice to stop hiccupping.

-Five days later-

Alice was in the same position that she was five days ago, however her hiccups were long gone. Emmett and Rosalie found it amusing. She decided to stop plugging her nose, that holding her breath would be enough. She sat there, swaying to a song in her head, looking up at the ceiling and all that Jazz.

"Alice, you don't have hiccups anymore, you can breath and talk now." Jasper said after he had enough.

"Nope, not going to risk it." She said, using her last supply of oxygen to speak.

"You can't talk anymore, can you?" He asked. Alice just shook her head. "So what if I asked you a question that required more than a yes or no answer?" Alice shrugged. "Do you want to go to the mall?" Jasper asked. Alice nodded spazztickly, a smile spreading across her face. "Which mall?" Jasper added with a grin. Alice's smile faded and she looked up at Jasper with wide eyes. She had an idea and pointed her finger up to the ceiling. "What?" Jasper didn't know what she was saying. Alice hopped up and ran up the stairs to Edward's room.

Edward!!!!!!!!! Edward! Edward!!! She thought.

"What?" Edward asked her, clearly annoyed.

Come! Now! NOW! Alice grabbed Edward's hand and ran down the stairs with him. She grinned. Translate for me, brother. Tell Jasper I want to go to the outlet mall by the beach! She laced her fingers together and looked up at Edward with pleading eyes. Edward smiled.

"Alice says she doesn't want to go to the mall." Edward said. Alice narrowed her eyes and slapped him on the shoulder.

Edward! No! Please just tell him! Please Edward!

"What?" Jasper asked, not believing it.

"In fact, she's even mad that you brought it up!" Edward went on.

Edward! I hate you! Don't say that! You're not listening to me! EDWARD! Alice was stomping on the ground, making it look like she was mad that Jasper brought up the mall.

"See?" Edward asked, pointing to Alice. He chuckled softly.

Edward! You're going dooown! Alice jumped on Edward's back and started punching him in the head with the side of her fist. Edward just shrugged her off and ran up the stairs laughing. She gritted her teeth together and balled her hands into fists at her sides.

"Alice, please talk. I miss your voice." Jasper said quietly. Alice put her hand on her not beating heart, walked over to Jasper, and then gave him a hug. "Will you? Please?"

Alice smiled and shook her head. Jasper sighed. "Well, how do I look? Come on, you know you want to say it. Just say it, go ahead." Alice bit her lip, trying not to say anything. "You know you want to say it, Alice." Jasper grinned and it made Alice forget why she was holding her breath.

She finally yelled "Sexy! Oh, Gosh, Jasper. You're so sexy!" and jumped into his arms. Jasper chuckled, glad to hear her voice.
