Chapter Five: Lights, Lights, Lights!

Jasper POV

I sprinted out to the car in worry. I was worried about what exactly Alice would do and what she was planning to do. I loved her, but sometimes Alice was a little hard to control when she wanted something. I cranked the car and waited for her. In an instant she was running towards the car. When she jumped in, she screamed "GO!"

Bella POV

I was so confused about what had just happened. Most of it was funny though, and now that Jasper was out of the room, I was laughing my head off about it with Edward and Emmett. Alice really had lost her mind. In her little rage she had broken another cell phone and the computer. Carlisle would be mad.

When the laughter subsided, I looked over at the computer that lay two feet away form the computer desk in about ten broken heaps. The boys began to clean up the mess of broken electronics as Esme went back to her room and Rosalie sat reading her magazine. I had nothing to do since Rudolph and Frosty were taking care of everything. I plopped down on the couch across form Rose and waited.

Alice POV (meanwhile….)

Lights. Lights. Lights. That was the only thought running through my head. What made it worse was that I could see me getting them. I just had to wait. We had been driving around Port Angeles for what felt like forever. Every store that we went past was either closed or I could see that they didn't have what I wanted before we even went into the store.

I was getting anxious to buy the lights now. Jasper was still trying to calm me down, but I could tell that he was worrying about what might happen by the look on his face. Suddenly, I started to feel a vision coming on as we neared an intersection. My eyes glazed over. When I snapped out of it, I was excited and a little bit ashamed.

The place where we would go to get these lights that I so desperately wanted would have my family mocking my need for the next 100 years. But, at this point, anything was worth those lights! As we neared the intersection, I decided that despite the place, we were going there! I screamed at Jasper.

"TURN NOW JAZZ!"

Jasper POV

I had seen Alice go into vision mode, and I knew that she saw something that made her afraid of herself because I could feel her mixed emotions. It was starting to make me uneasy and regret bringing her. All of a sudden, she screamed at me to turn at the intersection we were at. I obeyed. We went down a small hill and into a parking lot. When I looked at what store we were at I slammed on brakes- good thing we were wearing seatbelts. I knew now that Alice was officially desperate and had lost it.

In front of us, stretching out the whole length of the parking lot was a Super Wal-mart.

Alice POV

They had it. Everything I wanted in lights they had. The good people at Wal-mart did not know what was coming. Never before had they seen a wrath like that of Alice Cullen. I was bouncing in my seat now. It was obvious that I had overcome my phobia of the store that I was once upon a time afraid to death to go in. Jasper shot me a warning glance. Nervously, he parked the car as close to the store as possible so he wouldn't have to carry all of our lights that far when I was through here. I went to open the door but it was locked. I turned to Jasper who was looking warningly at me.

"Alice, please remember where we are. LOOK at this place! Why are we here?" he asked in a shocked and pleading voice. "What in the freak are we doing here?" he pounded his head on the steering wheel. He sat off the horn just as a woman was walking in front of us. She turned around and slapped the hood of the car while yelling various profanities at him. Then she gave Jazz the bird and walked off. I laughed before responding.

"Jasper- I NEED those lights." I said.

"Okay, but please don't go too crazy in there. There are innocent people and children." He reminded me.

"Silly Jasper, it won't be that bad." He hesitated, but then unlocked the doors. We got out of the car and a look of horror crossed his face.

Jasper POV

Against better judgment, I had decided to let Alice out of the car and unleash her on the innocent shoppers and workers that were at the store. I was feeling better when she told me not to worry, until we got out of the car.

That was when it hit me that I was still wearing the ridiculous elf costume as I stood in the middle of the parking lot! It felt like I was having the dream, even though I didn't, where you are walking down the street and suddenly realize you're naked. I covered myself up with my hands like I was.

"Alice!" I hissed at her. She turned and looked at me. She was smiling evilly. "I am still wearing this stupid costume! Look I have extra clothes in the car, please, please, please, please, let me change." I begged her. I even put my hands up as a sign of it. She just skipped over to me.

"Now Jasper, you know the rules. Any time, any place, any where." She said sweetly.

"But Alice- here? Of all places to make me wear it- HERE!?" I tried to reason with her.

"Nope. You are Santa's little helper today, and you have to stay dressed like him."

She gave the end of her Santa hat a flip and grabbed my hand. I knew that there was no way to change her mind. I slumped in defeat, and let Alice lead me to my doom.

Alice POV

If Jasper could have died of embarrassment, he would have already been dead. As soon as we walked into the door, a little boy ran up to him an asked,

"Wow! Cool an elf! Did you come all the way from the North Pole? Wait, aren't you a little big to be an elf?"

Jazz growled in response. Not so nice an elf was he…..

The kid ran back to his mom saying, "Mommy! Why didn't you ever tell me elves were evil! He growled at me!" The little kid started to cry. The mom hurried her son away from us while glancing over her shoulder.

I was shocked. I thought only Emmett would make children cry. Though, Jasper was ridiculously tall to be an elf. I felt sorry for making him go through this though as I looked at the expression of mortification and annoyance on his face.

"Cheer up Jazz!" I said.

"Kind of hard to when you are wearing something like this." He gestured.

"Oh- look! We can get your picture with Santa! That will cheer you up! Come on Jazz!" I squealed.

Jasper POV

I couldn't believe I had just made a kid cry! I had to stop hanging out with Emmett so much. He was rubbing off on me. I wanted to go and apologize, but it was hard enough to just be in a store with all of these people- all of these delicious smelling……I let my senses over power me and I closed my eyes as I slumped my shoulders and inhaled. I was glad that Alice couldn't see what I was thinking or my expression because she was still looking at the child in shock. Yet, Alice thankfully snapped me out of my trance, and I quite breathing.

"Cheer up Jazz!" she said to me as she patted my back reassuringly.

"Kind of hard to when you are wearing something like this." I said. I hated this costume and I had to find a way to get out of it. Just when I thought this day could not get any worse Alice said,

"Oh- look! We can get your picture with Santa! Come on Jazz!" I groaned.

Alice

I didn't care what Jasper or anybody else thought. He made an adorable elf! I am sure that the other girl elves that were at the Santa display thought so too because of few of them looked at him in a way that I didn't like. I held on to him tighter.

"Honestly Alice, do you know how old I am? I am way past the age of ten!" he growled so only I could her him. We started having one of those fast conversations that only he and I could hear because we were vampires.

"Come on Jazz, it will be so cute!"

"Not if I bite Santa while I am in his lap!"

"But, you won't bite Santa! I can see this…Please just do it for me."

"Fine."

"Thank you so much Jasper!" I squealed in delight.

As soon as our conversation was over, I noticed we were the next people to be called. We got a few looks form some of the elves and the photographer. Santa looked appalled when he saw Jasper coming for him.

Santa POV (just so you know Santa is a girl- yes they do have girls that dress up as Santa I know it's weird.)

It had been an extremely long day and I was in this ridiculous outfit. I was just happy that my shift was about to be over. Saying, "Have you been naughty or nice" and "What do you want for Christmas?" Gets old fast. I had only one more person to go and I was so glad it was about to be over.

I got the next to last little kid off of my knee and looked up to see who was next. When I did, my jaw hit the floor. I couldn't believe that a boy over six feet tall was in an elf costume in the middle of Wal-Mart! And, he was coming to get a picture with me! I would defiantly take the last picture with this guy!

He looked scared to death while the pixie like girl beside him looked elated. He nervously came up and sat on the edge of my knee. I closed my eyes to collect my thoughts before saying the required lines.

"Have you been naughty or nice this year?" It was so hard to fake the deep voice and keep it form cracking. He must have guessed what I was feeling because he twitched away from me. It was also hard to keep control while someone this beautiful was so close to me. I was about to melt. I needed a fan- immediately!

"Nice." He whispered. Dang- that's to bad.

"Well then, what do you want for Christmas?" Please say me! I thought.

"To not have to wear this outfit and take this picture." He said shame-facedly.

Too bad. I turned after he replied so that the photographer could take our picture. Even if he didn't get a copy, I definitely was. This would be the one year I would always remember as loving the chance to be Santa!

Jasper POV

"I feel violated." I said to Alice in a quick whisper. We started conversing to ourselves.

"Why? Jazz it wasn't that bad."

"NO- you don't understand. That Santa was a woman!"

"Oh….your point exactly?"

"I could feel all the lust coming off of her and it was sickening!" I said horrified. I shuddered at the thought of her emotions. I put my head in my hands.

"OH!" Alice gasped. "I should go back there and rip….."

"Alice!" I cut in. "Just remember where we are. But then again, I wouldn't stop you." I said. She looked around and a smile crossed her face- obviously thinking about her lights instead now.

"That's right! Jasper go get four- no five- buggies and meet me in the lighting area! And Jasper, remember, no growling at the humans!"

I groaned and ran off to get the carts. Why had I let her out of the house?

Hope you like. This isn't my favorite chapter but I had a minor case of writers block and it helps set you up for what Alice is about to do! Review!
