AN: I HAVE MICROSOFT WORD AGAIN!!!!! YAY! Now I don't have to use notepad hehe. Spell check available....lol. Here's the next chapter hope you like it please R& and just to let you know, I don't put in all of Alice's little visions, (stuff like her seeing a reaction of somebody or seeing Edward reading her mind or what not. Just the biggish stuff) Anyway oh and does anybody what somebody else's POV? I dont mind if you do. Just want to know so let me know if you do. (Aka, Jasper...or Bella or ne body else but yeah...)
"Hey Jasper!" I said cheerily.
"Hey Alice. Uhhh, were you just beating Emmett in an arm wrestling fight?" He asked and I nodded.
"No she cheated! Besides, I know I'm going to win that bet Alice!" Emmett interrupted.
"You so won't my friend!" I said and skipped over to Jasper. I was glad I had hunted last night.
"What did you guys bet?" Jasper asked raising one eyebrow.
"Oh I bet that we wouldn't be playing baseball tonight on a count of the fact that the sun is out today and we need thunderstorms to play baseball." Emmett said.
"Oh. Well then. Seeing that Alice can read the future I'm going to say that you're going to lose Emmett. How much did you bet anyway?"
"Only 50." Jasper shook his head as we headed inside.
"So what do we have planned for today Alice my friend?" Jasper asked me.
"Well I just saw us playing on Edward's piano so I guess that's what we're doing..." I said. We headed into the music room and Jasper sat down on the piano stool. He patted the space next to him and I ignored him and sat on the top of the piano.
He chuckled and started playing 'Hot Cross Buns'. "Oh beat this Jasper! I can play 'Ode to Joy'!" I said happily and sat down next to him and started to play. He laughed again and I added a second hand.
"Well I was just warming up. I can play 'Chopsticks'!" He said and started to play. I nudged his shoulder and we laughed again. We spent the next hour mucking around with the piano until we finally gave in and concluded that it was a draw and that neither of us could play the piano.
"What do you say we go reorganize my bedroom?!" I said and Jasper agreed. Rosalie had gone out and bought me new clothes because I didn't have any because they were still at my old house. I wish I could have gone but no. I was still a newborn. Not fair. Jasper sat on the bed and then looked around the room. I had no clue as to why I had a bed; I didn't use it for anything except lying on it.
I should have a couch. I stood in front of Jasper with my hands on my hips and stared around the room. First I took off all the pictures that hung. They were hung by Esme or somebody and they weren't really my taste. I put them on the bed and Jasper helped me take all my new things out of the closet. I didn't even have that many new things.
All of my things were on my bed and I stared at the lifeless, boring pile. "I want my other clothes. And all my pictures." I said to Jasper in a whiney voice. I sounded like Lauren. Jasper laughed.
"I could go over to your old place and pick them up if you want." He suggested.
"Yeah but what would my parents think. I know that they don't know I have so many pictures and I'm sure they wouldn't notice if some of my clothes are gone but they might think it's a little strange if you came into my house and demanded to have my old things. They'd think you were trying to clone me or something." I said quickly and he nodded in agreement.
"Well, how about, tomorrow when everybody is at your funeral-including your parents- you go there and get the things you want. And because the wake will be at your place after I'll warn you when everybody is leaving. So you can get out." He said.
"Okay. That sounds like a good idea! But it's a little depressing to think that everybody is going to my funeral tomorrow. What about the body?" I said. Jasper looked stunned.
"I don't know...I wonder. I mean I know your parents aren't having an open coffin thing, so that's not a problem. But...ask Carlisle." He said. I nodded and went to find my phone. I dialled Carlisle's number and let it ring.
I had a vision before he even picked up. "Alice?" He said.
"Oh never mind. I saw it just before you picked up. By the way we're playing baseball tonight, so be ready and bring your A-game." I said and he laughed. We hung up and Jasper looked at me questioningly.
"Carlisle is going to get to the coffin before everybody else see's it and fill it so it's heavy. Well as heavy as I would be. Nobody will know because nobody will be looking in the coffin. Works for me." I said and Jasper agreed.
We started by hanging up the pictures again, but in a new way. Then we colour co-ordinated my closet. With some other arrangements as well. I had left a wall open so I could put all of my pictures on it and I had left a huge space in the closet for my clothes. I giggled as I thought of this. We moved the bed so that it was facing the windows and so that if I rolled onto my side I would see all my pictures.
I left a space so I could put up a bookshelf. "That was fun. I didn't think it would be." Jasper said.
"Yeah it was." He leaned into me a little then moved back out. I had a vision of him kissing me and I gasped.
"You okay Alice?" He asked.
"Fine." I said sturdily. One thing that I was thankful for was that I could lie, unlike Bella. I giggled at the thought. I wasn't really paying attention to what was happening and then I realised that my vision had come true.
He moved away after I didn't respond to his kiss. "Sorry. It's just that...well...I've wanted to do that for a while. Sorry. I shouldn't have." He said and turned his head away.
"Hey, no it's fine. I've sort of wanted you to do that for a while too. I saw it before you did it and well I was pondering when you kissed me so I sort of didn't react. I'm sorry." I replied. He smiled.
"You've wanted me to kiss you?" He asked.
"Well yeah. And I've wanted to kiss you too." I mumbled but he still heard me. He kissed me again and this time I responded. I was careful though. I didn't want to hurt him. It didn't last long but I liked it. I would have blushed if I could have.
We headed downstairs and saw Rosalie and Emmett on the floor just staring at each other. I smiled at them and headed outside. "Alice the sun is out!" Rose said and I nodded.
I stood in the sun and looked at Jasper who was staring open mouthed at me. "Wow!" He said.
"I know. I said the same thing. It's pretty wicked." I giggled and he came over and hugged me.
"Hey do you know where Edward is. I know he and Bella are doing something but I don't know what."
"He took Bella to his meadow. Which is now their meadow. It's sweet really. They're having a ball. I know what they're doing and it's pretty disturbing, well not as disturbing as Emmett and Rosalie but you know. They're having fun." Jasper laughed at me and I just shook my head.
Come on Bella, hop on my back. Do you want to watch us play baseball or not? Look at Jasper; he's being a good sport hoping on Alice's back-even though that looks really funny-so why don't you hop on mine please? You can close your eyes this time...
I started laughing. Jasper eyed me. "You and Bella are coming to watch us play baseball tonight. And we run right-" I demonstrated by running around the house one time and stopping in front of him "so it's a lot quicker to run there if you and Bella didn't have to walk. So Edward was trying to persuade Bella to hop on his back. she didn't like the running feeling-mostly because she was looking and it made her sick- but anyway, she didn't want to hop on his back and Edward said 'look at Jasper, he's being a good sport hopping on Alice's back'" Jasper looked confused. I guess I explained it a little oddly.
"What I'm saying is. Tonight when you come to watch us play, to get there we would need to walk, but it would be quicker if we could run. So Bella is going to get on Edward's back and in my vision, you were on my back." I said and he nodded.
"That probably looked really odd. And it will look odd, and I don't really want to hop on your back. I'd crush you." He said and stroked my hair. I smiled.
"Yeah, no you wouldn't. You saw me beat Emmett. I could break you like a twig. And I don't think you could do anything to me..." I said. I walked over and picked up a small rock and handed it to Jasper. "Break it." I said and he tried.
"What is this going to prove Alice?" He said as he gave up and tossed me back the rock.
"That I'm stronger than you. You saw me fighting Edward right?" I squeezed the rock lightly and opened my palm to show Jasper the rock's dust.
"Okay I believe you." He said and I laughed.
"I thought you would..." He shook his head and hugged me tightly. We ended up on the ground. How I don't know. And we were laughing. Bella and Edward came around to the back, obviously hearing us laughing.
"Oh, hey. Alice do you think-" I cut him off.
"Don't worry, they can come. I saw it anyway. Oh and Emmett so owes me $50 bucks. You might want to head inside; it's going to start raining in a few minutes." I said quickly and Edward just laughed.
"Right Alice." He said and took Bella inside. I made sure my mind wasn't on my favourite moment of my life because I didn't want Edward to know. He would probably lecture me on how I should have been more careful and how I should be careful and how- oh does it matter? You get the point! He would lecture me and I didn't want that.
Jasper and I stood up and headed inside. Three minutes later the clouds had crossed the sky and rain had started to fall. Thunder could be heard for miles (well by us vampires anyway) and lightning could be seen over Forks.
"Here Alice. Next time I bet something, I'll go with you, not against you." Emmett complained as he handed over a crisp $50 bill. I smiled and Carlisle walked in the door.
"Hello."
"Hi Carlisle! Did you bring your A game?" I asked cheerily. He chuckled and nodded. "Awesome. Let's go!" I yelled and Emmett jumped up excitedly. I laughed at him.
Emmett, Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle got into Emmett's jeep and Edward, Bella, Jasper and I got into Edward's Volvo. Bella was smiling like a doll in a toy store. "What's got you so happy?" I asked her.
"Oh nothing..." She replied and I nodded at her knowingly. She blushed and I giggled. I started thinking about Jasper again.
"Alice! You should be more careful!" Edward said.
"Oopps. Sorry. Well you wouldn't know if you weren't prying into my thoughts." I said angrily.
"Well I wouldn't know if you and Jasper both weren't thinking about it! Now both of you cut it out!" He said back in the same tone. Jasper went a little pink in the cheeks. I giggled and turned to get out of the car.
We had stopped driving and had arrived at a dead end road. "Bella, hop on my back." Edward said.
"No. Not after that experience, it was scary and I felt sick afterwards." I giggled and motioned for Jasper to get onto my back. He did it reluctantly and I groaned just for the effect. He laughed and ignored me.
"Hey! Hurry this up you two. This is really awkward and strange so you know..." Jasper said while rotating his wrist.
"Come on Bella, hop on my back. Do you want to watch us play baseball or not? Look at Jasper; he's being a good sport hoping on Alice's back-even though that looks really funny-so why don't you hop on mine please? You can close your eyes this time..." Edward said. She smiled at him and climbed up onto his back.
The others had already headed to the field and were setting it up. I followed behind Edward and found it strange to run with the extra weight on my back. We reached near the field and Edward stopped so I did too. I was about to ask why he stopped when he answered for me, "Because, I'm being nice to you. If Emmett sees Jasper on your back he won't shut up about it for another hundred years." He said. I nodded and told Jasper to get off my back.
He obliged willingly. We walked into the field and witnessed Emmett and Rosalie passing the ball to one another with lightning speed. This would be way better than human baseball.
I saw myself pitching and yelled out that I dibs the position. "Okay, now, I usually referee but I think I might play since the numbers would be better. Now, Jasper can you score...?" Esme asked,
"Yeah. Easy." He said,
"Oh but, you have to wait a little sometimes because this is no ordinary game of baseball." She said. I laughed. I didn't tell Emmett he would get a home run, why spoil the fun? Edward already knew and he was going to use it to his advantage.
Edward, Carlisle and Rosalie were on one team and Emmett, Esme and I were on the other. I figured it would be better that way because, Edward could read minds and I could see the future so even matched there. Rose and Esme weren't so good so even matched there and well Carlisle, Edward and Emmett were all good against each other.
I smiled as I took the pitchers plate, I was a newborn so I was stronger than the others, as well as faster, this would be fun. Edward was first up to bat and I smiled evilly at him. He knew my tactics, or so he thought.
I threw the ball fast as lightning at him and he hit it first go. Too bad, I saw it coming straight over my head so I jumped and grabbed it just in the perfect amount of time. Jasper looked at me and then to Edward who had run back to home. "Out." Jasper said and I smiled.
"GO team Alice!" I yelled happily.
This would be even easier, Carlisle didn't know my tactic. I pegged the ball slower this time and he didn't swing. I pegged it again he swung. Hitting it harder than Edward had and he hit it differently than I thought he would. Damn Carlisle and knowing that my vision would predict was he was thinking to do, and he changed it at the last minute. The ball flew way out over my head and Esme ran to get it. She was in the outfield. It bounced and she grabbed it and raced back to race against Carlisle to get to home base. She just missed him and landed in the dirt.
"Home run!" Jasper yelled and Carlisle high fived Rose and Edward before helping Esme up who was laughing. The kissed and I resisted the urge to go 'awww'. Rosalie was up next and I knew she wouldn't do as well as the others.
She was a strike out. I was too quick for her. She huffed and went and sat back down.
Esme succeeded in getting Carlisle out on his second bat and Emmett caught out Rosalie on her third. "Score: 4 to team CER." Jasper yelled out. He was doing surprisingly well for watching a vampire baseball game.
We had named them team CER because we changed the meaning to Carlisle's Emergency Room. We were having heaps of fun with our game. Our teams name had been changed to
EAE. Emmett thought of the name- Emmett's Awesome Entourage. Why we let him name it that I don't know. Now it was EAE's turn to bat.
Edward would be playing outfield, (typical), Rosalie was pitching and Carlisle was playing catcher/first base. Although we didn't really need a first base.
"Okay, Esme, you bat first, I'll be second, Emmett you go last." I said as we broke from our team huddle. I had insisted upon it. Esme was up first and she got to second base and didn't risk running to third with Edward there.
I came up to the plate and saw what Carlisle was planning to do, although I didn't rely upon it. I was glad I didn't either, he changed his play right on cue and a swung away. I didn't watch where the ball went I just ran for it. I saw Edward chasing after me in my head and I knew I could outrun him because I was a newborn.
"HOME!" Jasper yelled for Esme and I felt Edward's presence behind me. I urged myself forward and cart wheeled onto home base. "SECOND HOME!" Jasper yelled and Edward cursed.
"Edward! Watch your language!" Esme said. I giggled and Emmett was up to bat. Edward knew what would happen and prepared himself. Edward was paying so close attention to Emmett that he wasn't listening to my thoughts or what visions I had. Emmett wouldn't hit the ball on the first go and Edward would run before he hit it.
I giggled to myself and busied myself doing algebra equations in my head. 3M(a+bcx12). Edward ran and Emmett hit the ball but in a totally different direction. I guess Emmett knew ways to trick me which would mean tricking Edward. He sprinted around the bases with ease. Edward broke through the trees in the outfield and Emmett picked up his pace. He hit home.
"HOME RUN!" Jasper screamed.
"Ohh yes home run by Emmett! He is the best. Victory dance! Uhhh-huh" Emmett said and started to dance. I laughed at him and poked my tongue out at Edward.
"I don't want to see your tongue Miss Brandon! Keep it inside your mouth! Edward I don't want to see you making faces back either!" Jasper yelled and I started laughing. He sounded exactly like Ms Christie.
Emmett was laughing too as was Rosalie, they had all been there. Edward chuckled and made his way to Bella. We decided that it was a draw; we didn't want to continue playing. Besides it was about to start raining where we were.
I let the others go ahead of me and put Jasper on my back again. When we got back to the car we ran in on Edward and Bella in full make-out mode. "Okay you two break it up!" I said and Edward grinned his stupid lopsided grin that I knew Bella loved. She blushed crimson and I giggled.
We drove Bella and Jasper home and then we headed home.
I was right. It had been a fun day, and an even better night.
