BFFE (Best Friends For Eternity)-Introduction
Edward POV
**I don't own Stephenie Meyer's characters or ideas.**
It was a bright morning when Alice came. At least that's what I heard. I was out hunting with Emmett. At the time, we lived in Calais, Maine. Esme loved oceans and beaches, so we moved there. We were a few towns over. Mom called and said she had a "I have a very special surprise-giggles-waiting at home for you, Eddy" I don't know how many times I've told her not to call me Eddy. And what surprise? Maybe the Volturi were visited again. With our immortal (we dislike the term vampire) hearing, my brother heard the whole conversation, and nudges my arm. We start running to our house, and when I was within 3 miles of the house, I could hear a different voice. Not talking, but in my head, like when I use my gift. No, there were two! I had three guesses: An addition to the Volturi, people stalking my family (A/N well she did look for all their futures for 3 years. Stalkerish?) , or girl scouts. But the second voice was manly, and the other one was high pitched, and sounded more like she was singing that Rosalie's did. The first voice couldn't pass for a girl scout, it sounded too mature, yet young at the same time.
When we got to the house, I could hear giggling and laughing, and Carlisle's voice. "Edward!", the first voice from my head exclaimed. "I'm Alice!" the same pixie-like girl says, her entire face lit up with her smile. Alice throws her arms around my stomach, since that's all she can reach. She's quite small. While she tows me over to the backyard porch, where they were all sitting, I manage to say, "Er, hello, Alice…" I I start, while sitting down on the wood swing that Emmett and Rosalie have managed not to break yet. but Carlisle saved me. "This is Alice and Jasper, they've come here to join our-" Carlisle was cut off by his mate, my mother for all intensive purposes, Esme. "She can tell her only story, Carlisle. She said, jokingly scolding him then pecking his cheek. Esme beamed at the newest additions of our family. Alice and Rosalie giggled. Wait….Rosalie just giggled? She had only giggled when she's with Emmett. Emmett's smile was as big as Alice's when he sat down and looked curiously at her. "My gift is premonitions. I saw Jasper, she said and smiled at him, "and met him at a diner in Philadelphia. I saw visions of you guys, too. So, we decided to come looking for you. Now we're here" she finishes, looking up at the yellow roses in Esme's garden, then at us. (A/N I know there's a lot more detail about her meeting with Jasper, how she found the Cullens, and all her visions, but I'm not going to make Alice ramble on) Alice squeezes Jasper's hand and her already topaz eyes darted over to me. "I saw you a lot Edward. You may not know it yet, but we'll be best friends" she had told me. I smiled, knowing that was probably true. Emmett ruffled her hair, and she laughed. "Did you see me, Alice?!", he asked her. "Oh of course I saw you, Emmett", she says, still looking up at him. "Oh yeah? What color underwear am I wearing?" He finishes, smirking at her. "Purple. Your wearing purple underwear with the hot pink leprechauns on them", Alice replies, raising her eyebrow and smirking back at him. Emmett laughs awkwardly, does the Lindsey Lohan Irish Dance, and opens the screen door, then the glass one, into our large living room, and up the stairs. Everyone looks impressed, as I start moving the swing back and forth. The sun had just come up, and I had to admit-it was beautiful beyond our yard. The sky was a lovely pink-orange color, with a light purple streak down the middle. There had been lots of wind that morning. Blue wind chimes were blowing all over the house, making lots of high pitched noises as they all cling together. That day we stayed out all day, mainly talking about our pasts and histories, discovering more about eatch other, and growing closer by the second. By the end of the day, it felt like we'd known Alice and Jasper (that's what I learned the second voice's name was. He was also Alice's mate, and was scarred all over his body from history with Southern immortal wars, and a brunette woman named Maria. A/N again, didn't feel like writing his six page story.) our entire lives. At Twilight, Alice had the idea of making a bonfire on the beach behind our yard, so that's what we did. It was almost ten-thirty when Emmett came back out to get Rose because he was "bored", and the rest of us stumbled back inside. You could hear Esme and Alice talking about clothes and shoes from all over the house, even without our hearing. Jasper and Rosalie had already clicked, and she have Jasper and Alice a goodnight hug before heading upstairs with her mate. Already, it was like we've all been family for decades.
That night, I have a new journal entry. I'll spare you the details, but Alice and Jasper are a large part of it. I was right in the middle of writing my thoughts down on our living room couch when Alice dances in. "Just wanted to say goodnight…" she trails off, loking down. I sigh, and open my arms. She laughs, and knocks us both over with her hug. "Say goodnight or I swear I'll kiss you!" Alice exclaims. Don't make me do it! 'Cause I will. Ok, Edward, you asked for it!" she says when I don't respond. Alice makes a loud "Mmmmmwhaaah!" sound while she kisses my cheek. I smile at her. "Goodnight, Alice", I finally tell her. She smiles, and blows a kiss. When she leaves, I head upstairs too, to finally go to my bedroom. I'm thinking about what subject to study next, when I walk into my room, and all my furniture is replaced by black and white furniture, hot pink and black walls, and yellow paint splatters.
The next thing I know is that my darling sister has decided that my room has the best room.
And that all my furniture is in the garage.
