3. Perfect Plans

Bella and Edward walked into a house of six vampires, gathered in the living room, attempting to watch an Austin Powers movie.

"Bella!" Alice called, jumping up from her seat. Bella jumped, she still wasn't used to Alice's random impulses. "So how are things with your cousin?"

"They're good, she's changed quite a bit but we're catching up fast."

"That's great! Where is she now?"

"At home probably sleeping, the New York princess is used to the city that never sleeps."

"I suspect she's the party animal type?" Edward asked jokingly, stroking Bella's hair.

"Well I guess you could say she's definitely more outgoing then I am."

"You want outgoing? Would she be in a house full of vampires right now?" Emmett asked sarcastically.

"Emmett." Carlisle said in a warning tone.

"What? It's true! If anything that makes Bella like the most outgoing human I know." Emmett affirmed.

"Does she look like you?" Rosalie asked in a somewhat snappish voice.

"No, not at all. She's really tiny, sorta built like Alice and she has short blonde hair, it was never like that before; I think this breakups really taken a tole on her." Bella said in a somewhat depressed manner.

"Breakup?" Jasper asked, suddenly involved in the conversation.

"Yeah, she was dating this guy Seth for as long as I can remember, it was probably like six years or something, we haven't talked much since we were twelve but we sent the occasional e-mail. But yeah, they recently broke up and she just seems devastated like when I even mentioned him; she became all cold and weird."

"She's not in her right mind right now Bella. Seeing you and I together is enough torture for her, anything that reminds her of love lately; it's tearing her apart. It seems like she's one step away from being pushed off the cliff." Edward spoke out, comforting Bella. Jasper had a strange expression on his face, somewhat a mix of anger with confusion.

"I just want to make this visit best for her, help her figure things out. She needs a steady home; at least for the summer." Bella added.

"You're so selfless." Edward whispered.

"I GOT IT! WE'LL THROW A PARTY!" Alice yelled, clapping her hands together.

"What?" Everyone said, somewhat in unison.

"Well what else do you do when someone's depressed?" Alice asked.

"Uh, leave them alone." Bella suggested.

"No silly, do you want her to go crazy? I say we throw a party for her, a somewhat welcome to the neighborhood thing. Hey, it's the fourth of July tomorrow! We'll put together a party then!" Alice said, grinning widely.

"And how do you propose we pull of this party in over night?" Edward asked.

"It's simple, it's not like anyone in this town will have any other plans. We'll have loads of food, fireworks, karaoke, a live DJ, it's be like the grad party only better!"

"The humans did seem to like the grad party!" Esme added, beaming.

"Carlisle, don't let her do this, she's going to blow it all out of proportion and you know it!" Edward pleaded.

"A small party wouldn't hurt now would it Edward?" Carlisle asked, smirking.

Edward just groaned and Bella mumbled something into Edwards's chest.

"Please Bella?" Alice begged in her cutest voice.

"Fine." Bella sighed.

"OH GREAT! YAY! Alright so Emmett, you'll be in charge of bar-b-queuing all the food, Carlisle you can set up the hot tub to go beside the pool, Esme you make sure you call the caterers for hors deuves and desserts, Edward will hire the DJ and set up the music, Jasper you can deliver all the invites by 5 am tomorrow, Rose'll help me decorate and Bella all you have to do is dress Ray pretty and make sure she's here for five thirty tomorrow evening." Alice finished, glad to have distributed all the party duties.

"Yeah sure, uh will you excuse me for a moment?" Bella asked, walking down the hall.

She went up to Edward's room and just threw herself on Edward's bed, breathing in the fresh air from his picture window. There was a knock on the door; Bella looked in the doorway to see Jasper standing there.

"Do you mind if I come in?" He asked in his southern gentleman manner.

"Sure, uh yeah have a seat." Bella answered, patting her hand on the bed. Jasper sat on the couch across from the bed.

"So as you know Alice has subjective visions, so there's no telling if this would come true." Jasper began pausing.

"And?" Bella added, signaling him to go on.

"Well, she's had three visions involving your cousin. In the first one she saw me comforting her, she appeared to be crying uncontrollably, in the second, she saw us dancing together, being very close and giving off affectionate signals and in the third." He stopped again, his fist clenching on the couch armrest.

"What did she see?" Bella whispered.

"She saw me holding her dead body." Jasper said slowly, averting his eyes from Bella's gaze.
