A/N: Heyy, a massive thanks to everyone who's reviewed/favourited/followed - you made my day! I actually kind of stole this one-shot from one of my other Jasper/Alice stories 'THE SWEETNESS OF SURVIVAL' (Hey, you should check it out on my profile...just a thought) and tweaked it slightly, but it's still all my own work, so forgive me ;)

Chapter 4: Jasper takes Alice on a date to the carnival...


4. Carnival games

Alice darted through the entrance to the carnival, dragging Jasper with her. She was gazing around at the bright colorful lights of all the rides and attractions like a child. Jasper laugh softly, but Alice didn't even notice.

"What should we do first?" Alice asked, then without waiting for a reply, she continued excitedly, "The fun house! No, the Ferris wheel! No – the bumper cars! Oh, wait! Let's go on that!"

Jasper followed her gaze and found himself looking at the largest attraction in the carnival; a huge roller coaster. He laughed again, "As long as you're not scared."

"Scared? What's there to be scared of?" She asked, pulling Jasper through the crowds to the ride. They got into one of the cars and waited for the ride to begin. And it was scary – speeding down hills, looping the loop, hanging us upside down as it rocketed forward and spun round and round – but Alice just laughed the whole time, grinning from ear to ear.

They staggered off the ride, a little dizzy. Jasper didn't have long to recover before Alice was pulling on his arm again. She led him to the fun house, and he followed her inside. She laughed as they stood in front of the mirrors – her in front of one that made you look taller, and him in front of one that made you look shorter. They ended up looking the same height.

She skipped along through the rest of the fun house, humming 'You're the one that I want' from Grease to herself, even though the fun house they were in didn't even slightly resemble the one from the end of the film. It was remarkable how she got through the fun house with such grace, whilst Jasper was left spinning around on the disks on the floor. She caught him as he almost fell over, and pulled him back to his feet with ease. With vampire strength.

"Careful, Mr Hale," She teased, "We wouldn't want you falling over now would we?"

"You'd always catch me." He pointed out. Alice shrugged.

"It might be funny to watch if i didn't." She teased. Jasper put on a mock-hurt face, and Alice laughed, "Come on, let's go on the bumper cars!"

~o.O.o~

She beat him at bumper cars. It was embarrassing. She laughed at Jasper when he'd told her he'd let her crash into him, and told him to stop kidding himself.

He had however, beat her at most of the stall games. She'd been trying to win the giant teddy bear from one stall, and frowned when she couldn't knock down a single can. Jasper knocked them down with ease, and her frown increased, until he asked the man running the stall for the giant teddy bear, and handed it over to her.

"Aww, how sweet!" She'd cried, holding the teddy bear up and hiding her face. She put on a high-pitched voice and said, "Thankyou for saving me from that awful stall, Jasper! Now Alice can take good care of me!" And then she'd made the bear hug Jasper as he laughed.

Now, as they were driving home, the giant teddy bear was sat in the back of the car. Alice had insisted that he wear a seat belt. Alice herself was giving off extremely happy vibes, and Jasper let them wash over him and affect him. Not that he needed to – he was extremely happy himself.

Jasper pulled up outside the house, cutting the engine. Alice looked towards the house and rolled her eyes, "I bet you that Emmett and Rose have waited up to ask us all about our date."

"Well, you can tell them all about how I let you win at bumper cars – the gentleman that I am." Jasper said. She rolled her eyes again, but playfully this time.

"Yeah, sure." She said, "And while I'm at it, I'll tell them about the flying pigs we saw."

"Good idea." Jasper said. She looked over at him, and he could feel her resisting the urge to roll her eyes again.

Instead she smiled, "Thanks for tonight Jasper, I had fun."

"So did I." He smiled back

"So did he," Alice gestured to the teddy bear

"Any more thoughts on names?" Jaser asked. Alice had despaired earlier on what to name her teddy bear. Most of her suggestions had been names of designers – Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Dior – all of which Jasper had laughed at.

"Uh-huh." She said, a smile twitching at her lips, "I decided to call him Whitlock, in honor of the man who gave him to me." Jasper burst out laughing, and she frowned, "I'm serious!"

"That's what's funny." He teased. She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Whitlock says you shouldn't laugh at me." She said

"Does he?" Jasper asked, "Well, tell Whitlock he can go back to the stall if he doesn't take my side."

Alice's eyes widened in mock fear, "He says you can laugh at me all you want."

Jasper laughed, "That's better."

He got out of the car, and crossed to Alice's side in a split second, opening the door for her - ever the gentleman. Alice smiled at him, and went to retrieve her teddy from the back seat. Jasper laughed as she pulled the ridiculously oversized stuffed bear from the car. It was almost as big as she was.

"Here, let me." He said, taking the bear from her. With the giant bear under one arm, and his tiny wife tucked into his other arm, he felt like the luckiest man in the world.


Aww, so what do you think of Alice and Jasper's little date?

I had to translate it from first person Jasper POV into third person, so sorry if there's any little mistakes left in there! If you want to read the original, check out my other story THE SWEETNESS OF SURVIVAL on my profile - all about how Alice and Jasper met. Yes, i know i'm really pushing that story, but it's my first and main fanfic, so please read and review :)

Also, spare the time to review this chapter, and i'll send you a virtual giant teddy bear of your own ;) Sorry, virtual is the best i can do :/

Love you all, ciao.
