X-Y-Z-X-Y-Z-X-Y-Z
Alice POV;
"Bella! Bella! Where are you? I can't find you because your with that damn dog!"
I was running top speed, searching the forest around our Washington home. I knew that Bella, Nessie, and Edward had gone hunting for a few hours, and Jake had accompanied them because he hadn't seen Nessie in such a long time.. I gave them three hours, but I needed Bella back so Rose and I could give her a crash course on how to play casino games!
As I was searching high and low, Emmett and Jasper were back at the house setting up a mini-version of what Vegas would be like. We had a Roulette table, Blackjack, Poker, and a Slots machine. All of your basic games, so Bella could at least learn how to play those. Any other games she wanted to try, we would just teach her in Vegas.
"Isabella Cullen! I don't know where you are, but you had better come here before we take Jake to Vegas, instead! At least he probably knows how to play the games! We've only got six days to teach you well enough to be decent at all of the games, and we still have two major shopping trips tomorrow and the next day!"
I shouted all of this as loudly as I could. I would occasionally catch a trail of the groups scent, particularly Jacob's woodsy oder, but it would come to an abrupt end at a road somewhere. I was certain we were playing an epic game of hide-and-seek..
I closed my eyes again, desperate to see even a glimpse of where Bella could be hiding from me. I could 'see', though it was blurry with Renesmee being seated in the passenger side, that Edward wasn't with them half the time, because I would see him driving down a deserted road in his Volvo and laughing. It was obvious that he was driving the getaway car.
Twenty-one seconds into my unyielding search of the future, I could see my phone ringing in about thirteen seconds. I waited, counting in my head. Sure enough, after thirteen seconds, my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out, already knowing that is was my beloved husband, Jasper. I was going to be mad if he told me that the group was already back at the house. I was almost thirty miles from our home, having been lead on a wild goose chase.
"Hello, Jazzy," I said, a smile on my face even in this dismal time.
"Hi, Ally," was his response. I could hear him smiling, too. "Having any luck finding them, yet?"
"No, not yet. It's as if we're playing some epic game of hide-and-seek, and I'm the half-blind seeker. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't so crucial for her to learn how to play these games. Wherever she goes, she's with Jacob, so I can't ever see her, and I can barely make out Edward driving his Volvo, because he's with Renesmee."
"Awe, I'm sorry, Alice. Emmett and I are done with the mini-casino. Want me to come help you look?"
"No, it's fine. Just come get me. I don't want to run all thirty miles back with these heels on and risk breaking them," I told him, looking down at the pale gray stilettos on my feet, "or wrinkle my outfit. Jacob will have to leave eventually, right? And Edward and Bella will come back, too. We'll just be a bit behind schedule. I figure if we work through the night, though, we'll be right back on schedule."
Jasper chuckled. "Alright. I'm in the Porsche now. Where are you?"
"Well, I'm sitting behind a huge tree right where the highway starts and the forest ends. I'll hear you coming if you just head towards Port Angeles. Who knows? Maybe Edward and Bella will drive by and I can harass Edwards Volvo. I've always wanted to bust it up, just a little."
Jasper shook his head. I could tell because I could 'see' him doing it, right before he did. He was already two minutes into getting where I was. Another five-and-a-half and he would be here.
I heard a car in the distance. I figured it was still about a two-and-a-half-miles away. It couldn't be Jasper just yet, so I just assumed it was someone passing by. Though… The car was moving awfully fast. I knew instantaneously who was behind the wheel. The engine even sounded familiar.
"Jazz!" I exclaimed, excited, "Edward's coming! I'm going to hang up so I can block my mind. Alice thinks it's time Edwards vampire reflexes don't save him from crashing into something a bit more solid than his precious Volvo."
"Alice," I could hear Jasper as I pulled the phone away, "Nessie is probably in that car! And Jacob, too. They aren't exactly as unbreakable as our dear Bella and Edward. I don't think you should let yourself get hit by a car, either!"
"I didn't say he would hit me hard, Jazz, I'm going to run out in front of him right before he passes me. I'll cushion the blow, too. I'llbefineIloveyoubye!"
I hung up before Jasper could argue further and talk me out of my brilliant plan. I only hoped it was Edward who was coming. After another seven seconds, though, there was no doubt who was in the silver car in the distance. I blocked my mind quickly, waiting for the moment. As soon as the car was about six feet from passing the tree I was behind, I ran out in front of him.
Edward didn't have time to swerve or stop the car, but he did have time to realize what was about to happen and blare the horn. I rolled my eyes right before the car hit me.
There was a loud boom, and metal crunching. I had already decided that I would let myself go flying, momentarily. The dent in his precious Volvo would be fixable, but take much manual labor. Serves him right, though. Each one of them deserve it after having out-maneuvered me all day.
I felt myself go flying, so I could cushion the inevitable blow to his pretty little shiny car. Gracefully, though, I dropped out of the air and landed on the balls of my feet. It barely took me three seconds to run back to the damaged car.
Edward was out in an instant, falling to his knees on the pavement and staring at the damage to his car. Bella had a hand on his shoulder, but seemed to be holding back giggles at his face. It was, after all, priceless.
It took me a second to realize Jacob and Nessie weren't in the car, either. That was good. Saved me some trouble. Now I could just blame this all on Edward. Didn't explain how I didn't see them, though. Unless… Dammit, talking to Jasper had distracted me from my visions!
I cleared my throat, announcing my arrival on the scene. Bella flipped around and saw my mischievous grin. It seems she couldn't hold it in anymore. Bella almost fell down in her peals of laughter. I was laughing madly. Edward turned to stare at me, shock and horror still evident on his face.
Suddenly, his eyes became cold and calculating. I knew what was coming a moment before he pounced, for Bella had broken her concentration and dropped her shield in her fits of laughter.
I side-stepped Edward as he leapt angrily and agilely at me, air hissing out of his throat. I flashed right past him once more when he had tried to pounce again. Edward growled in frustration.
"Alice," my brother hissed, probably trying to sound downright menacing. He might've succeeded if I hadn't heard him use this tone so many times before, "My. Car. Is. Wrecked."
I beamed at him. "I know. Great, isn't it? So much for Vampire reflexes. You don't know how long I've been waiti-" I twirled around as his body came soaring at me again, "waiting to do that," I finished.
Edward tried to catch me by surprise, by thinking that he was going to wait until he got home to get at me, but still failing because the second he decided to pounce, I knew and outmaneuvered him, for a change.
"I win," I taunted him, "And get off the ground. Someone is going to come driving by in a matter of minutes. Jasper is also going to be here in a minute, so unless you want to fight with him over this, I suggest you stop."
Bella caught Edwards arm and yanked on it to get him to stop. Edward groaned and stood up, dusting invisible specks of concrete off his shirt and his knees.
"You're evil, Alice!" Edward whined, staring at his Volvo and lightly touching the dent that my petite frame had made.
"Oh, relax. I already saw you taking it to Rose and offering her anything she wants if she'll have it fixed by tomorrow morning. She's going to want Bella, Esme, her, and myself to spend a weekend away in Paris, shopping, with no complaints from you. You tell her no deal and she says she won't fix your car. You cave. The end."
Bella smiled at me, rolling her eyes when Edward put his head in his hands.
"Alice, you're an evil, crude, manipulative, hazardous, pixie of a sister, and I hate you," was Edwards muffled reply. I heard him loud and clear, though. I simply smiled at Bella in response.
A few seconds later, my own Porsche screamed its way onto the scene, and Jasper put it in park before getting out and coming to my side. He stared at Edwards Volvo.
"You," Jasper pointed to me, smirking, "are a crazy, silly, ridiculous, evil little beauty, and I love you for it."
"Hmm," I considered, pursing my lips, "Edward just said the same exact thing you said, with everything opposite except for the evil part." I pretended to pout, "Do you think I'm evil, Bella?"
"Not at all, darling sister," came Bella's reply. We all heard Edward, who was turned back towards his Volvo and eyeing the damage, murmur something that sounded suspiciously like 'traitor.'
It was Bella's turn to pout. Edward turned around quickly and kissed away her frown, while she tried to kiss away his.
"Oh, Edward, the Volvo will be just fine. If you want, you can drive my Ferrari around until Rosalie fixes it," Bella offered. Edward smiled. I knew how much he loved the car he had gotten her, and, though he bought it and they had the whole 'what's mine is yours' marriage thing, he didn't drive it without asking her first.
"That sounds good, love. Now, lets see if my baby can last the ride home without anymore bumps and scratches."
"Oh, I'll be perfectly fine, Edward," Bella said, teasing him, "I can't get bumps or scratches anymore, remember?"
Edward rolled his eyes and planted a kiss to her cheek. He ran around to the passenger side and opened her door, and went to the other side to get in. Thankfully, the car worked, and we wouldn't have to do anything rash, like… Oh, I don't know, carrying it home through the forest. Yes, that's what would have happened if I hadn't been gentle with the shiny silver car.
I bounced away happily, towards the pretty car that I called my Porsche. I slid into the drivers side, taking the keys from a pouting Jasper, and was on the road back home in about fifteen seconds, quickly gaining speed.
I had a vision when I was halfway home. It seemed Chief Swan was on traffic patrol for today. The cruiser sat a mere four hundred or so yards in front of us, parked inconspicuously behind a large sign that read 'You are now entering Forks.' Chief Swan was sitting contentedly behind the sign, with a speed gun pointed at the road. Hmm. I wonder what would happen if I sped by him going as fast as I could? Only one way to find out!
I pressed my foot almost to the floor, taking my pretty Porsche up to about one sixty. Jasper eyed me speculatively, until I grinned and told him my plan. My plan was to have Edward and Bella pulled over for being WAY over the speed limit. Charlie would barely recognize my car as we sped by, but he wouldn't go after us because he was afraid his cruiser wouldn't catch up. He would chase down the next person to go even ten miles over, though. Oh, Emmett would get a kick out of this story.
Chief Swan's heart raced as he watched a yellow car go speeding past him, clearly over any legal speed limit in the United States. A plus? Chief Swan barely recognized the car, other than the fact that it was a yellow sports car. Of course, I was the only one in the quaint little town of Forks that owned a yellow sports car, but Charlie wouldn't dare accuse me of speeding.
I slowed down about a hundred yards ahead of Chief Swan's cruiser. The poor man was still baffled by how fast the car was going that had just passed him. Grabbing Jasper's hand, we ran down the road to the scene where Edward and Bella would be pulled over in a matter of moments.
I heard Edward's speeding car in the distance, and, a few moments later, the blaring of a police siren. It seems Edward was too worried about his Volvo to even consider reading the minds of anyone who might be on this highway.
It took Edward quite a while to slow down and pull over to the shoulder. They were both in plain view and hearing distance, though we remained in the shadow of a large oak tree, almost fifty yards from them. If I were in his position, I would have seriously considered mutiny, as I don't think Chief Swan would even go so far as to reach speeds high enough to try and pull Edward over.
As Edward shifted the Volvo into park and put his hands on the steering wheel, he was saying to Bella, who I was sure would've been blushing, had she still been human, that he could've easily outrun Charlie and they could've pretended as if this had never happened.
Bella was cursing herself quietly, so I could not hear the words. Just then, inspiration struck, loud and clear.
"Jasper! Record this on your video phone!"
Jasper quickly pulled out his Env2, that I had gotten him for his just-passed Vampire birthday. He started recording just seconds before Charlie got out of his vehicle.
Probably recognizing the car, Charlie's face was almost as priceless as Edward's had been earlier.
"Bella is completely and utterly mortified," Jasper whispered to me, "Charlie is shocked, it seems. Edward is embarrassed for Bella, but frustrated. Probably because he's never been pulled over."
Charlie was stumbling his way to the Volvo, and when he reached it, knocked on the window with his knuckle. Edward tentatively rolled the window down.
"Ed… Ed-Edward? Is that really you?" Charlie's voice held all the shock of a disapproving father and a small-town police chief.
"Hello, Charlie," Edward said, always the gentleman.
Bella tried to smile, but it turned out to be more of a grimace. "Hi, Dad."
"Edward.. Oh my GOD, do you realize how fast you were just going?! The radar told me over one hundred miles per hour! You could've been killed! It is so dangerous to drive that FAST! AND WITH MY BABY GIRL IN THE CAR, TOO!"
Edward shrank back from the anger in Charlie's tone. Bella's grimace became more pronounced.
"Do you drive that fast all the time? I pray that you don't, Edward! Especially not with Bella in the car!"
"I'm sorry, Chief Swan," was all Edward could manage.
"Edward, I'm going to have to write you a ticket! It's a shame. It's a damn shame, that's what it is. All the years in this town, not one speck of trouble, yet you have to go and mess that all up. I'm disappointed, Edward. And Bella! Why didn't you stop him?!"
Bella looked shocked that she was being blamed, but stuttered, "I… I don't… I don't really mind, dad! I'm sorry! It was a one-time thing. I swear it will never happen again!"
"See to it that it doesn't, Bella. I would hate to have to write /you/ a ticket next time. I really don't like doing this, Edward," Charlie walked back his cruiser to get his ticket pad. He grumbled to himself, not realizing that we could all hear him, "Damn teenage kids. Just because they have nice cars they feel the need to go fast. Don't know why Carlisle lets them have such nice cars at such a young age. Edward even bought my Bella a Ferrari as soon as they got married. Bella doesn't know how to handle a car like that!"
I snickered right into Jasper's chest, while he smiled widely, obviously enjoying this. Charlie was at the Volvo again, two minutes later, handing Edward his very own speeding ticket.
I wondered how much it was until I heard Bella exclaim, "Charlie! Two hundred and thirty dollars?!"
"You guys were going over 120 in a 55 mile per hour zone, Bells! That's probably cheaper than it could've been, too. I let you off, this time. Next time, don't expect to get off as easily. Though, there had better not be a next time, you hear?"
"Yes, dad," was Bella's monotone reply.
"Good. I expect that ticket paid in full It was good to see you kids, even under these circumstances. I'll talk to you sometime later, Bella. I want to see my granddaughter pretty soon, here."
"Alright, dad. We will call you sometime this week, okay?"
"Sounds good," Charlie chuckled. He was abruptly serious again. "I expect that paid, Edward, and I expect no more speeding out of you. I'll be watching."
With that, Charlie got into his cruiser and did a U-turn, so he could go back to his inconspicuous hiding spot and catch more speeders.
I collapsed from laughter. "That was great, Jazz. Did you get that all?"
"Yes, every minute of it. Oh, lets go quick and show everyone before Edward and Bella get home!"
Jasper and I ran back to my Porsche, hand-in-hand. I climbed into the drivers side and peeled away; driving, always too fast, back to our home.

Haha, I love it. These ideas just come to me randomly. Next chapter; Picking on the perpetrator, and a crash course in casino games. Well, do you want it? Review! I've decided I want five reviews before I update again. I mean, c'mon.! The first chapter got 76 hits, 6 alerts... But only four reviews? How hard is it to take thirty seconds and tell me what you think, people.?!
