A/N: Well who says democracy has died? (Roughly over a billion people but let's ignore them for a second) The people have spoken! Alice and Bella will have their happy ending after their horrible middle. But you have to read this to get what I'm saying yes? And so with that I must say the show must go on!
She's been staring at me since I arrived, and glaring at Sam since she walked in after me. This is so cute. My temptress is jealous of her fallen. Me. Little 'ole future seeing, fashion loving, need for speed me. I try not to smile since this a serious situation but its hard not to. Natalie on the other hand has been trying to molest me ever since I brought her sister her to Forks. I think I can safely say she's really happy. Or she wants me but I'm pretty sure Jasper can take care of his woman.
When I arrived I made it a point not to tell them I was coming so to say the family was surprised was an understatement.
Flashback
I pulled into the driveway with the speed of a NASCAR racer and the grace of none which is to say I far exceeded their interpretation of it.
The door to the house was flung open and Emmett was the first one out. If you ever want to see a vampire look like an owl this would be your point of reference. I turned off the car and stepped out. The speed in which my older brother approached me was hilarious.
"Shorty!"
I was promptly squashed, spun and thrown into the air though I'm not sure in which order. When the others came out of the house they all rushed to greet me. It was at this point that Sam decided to reveal herself. Natalie by the way owes me a new car because she crushed the hood of mine to get to her sister.
"Sammy!"
Again for future reference on owlish looking vampires this moment is one to be looked upon. The others stood their blinking around (not that we need to) as Natalie tried to kill her only relative through hugging. It's a good thing we're made of sterner stuff or at this point my good friend Sam would be dead (again) and I would be lonely yet again.
Esme at that point manhandled me into the house and Natalie dragged her sister in too. We all sat in the living room as everybody came to greet me and introduced themselves to Sam whom Natalie had yet to let go of. When the pleasantries were out of the way Esme and Carlisle became sober.
Carlisle as usual began.
"Alice what are you doing here?"
"You guys need me. If I'm not here you will most assuredly lose this battle."
He pointed at Samantha.
"And her?"
"Have you forgotten what she can do?"
If vampires could blush I'm sure my family could light a room decently enough. Only Natalie looked overwhelmingly excited.
"Alice that's brilliant. Sis you're bloody brilliant."
The others were looking at us for an explanation. I was going to answer when Natalie beat me to it.
"She's an Elemental. I told you guys already. She can pretty much control the elements and therefore my lovely, brilliant sister can be our advantedge."
"What she said"
To say they brightened would also be an understatement but alas progress. I'd notice that while the whole family was there Edward was decidedly missing. My guess was that he was with. Her. Jasper raised an eyebrow at me when he felt my mood drop but I shook my head and indicated we would talk later.
Flashback Ends
We've been here a while but Sam and I were hunting when Edward had decided to grace the family with his presence and with Bella in tow. She looked absolutely glowing when I walked into the room and positively miserable since Sam followed me in. I thought it was funny since there was nothing going on between me and Sam. Not that I haven't had offers but I was too bummed to really want to commit to anything or anybody else. Especially since I have yet to recover.
And now I get to sit through heaven and hell. The heaven of being near again and the hell of being near her also. Edward had asked why I'd come back to Forks.
"To save your dumbass since you refuse to listen to me. But also to fight for the family. I refuse to lose the only one I've ever known."
Emmett laughed loudly when I said that and he gave me a high five.
"I missed having you around shorty. I missed having you around."
