Author's Note: Hey. Sorry, I'm at camp this week and don't have much time to write, but here ya go. Reviews are love. 3 Ally XOXO

Disclaimer: I dream of the day I will own Twilight. *sigh* But for now, I will settle for owning Ally.

Jasper's POV

As I followed Emmett inside, I still kept my calming control over Ally. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we didn't want her racing after the humans again. "Family meeting, now," Carlisle said in an urgent tone as he bounded down the steps, Esme trailing behind him. He perched on the arm of the chair where Ally was sitting and looked at her, and then Carlisle looked at me. "Jasper, let her go. I think she's ready to talk," he told me. I released my hold on Ally, and Emmett instinctively grabbed her arm. She winced as Carlisle said calmly, "No, Emmett, let her be." Emmett freed Ally from his grasp. She seemed to wince again as he broke away. Alice stood beside me and slipped her hand into mine. I smiled slightly at her.

"I knew it was a bad idea to take her out…" Emmett mumbled under his breath as he sat on the couch closest to the chair, Rosalie sitting beside him. Carlisle put a comforting arm on Ally's shoulder as she said, "God, am I so stupid," and it was then that I noticed the red wristband with the Nike symbol on it. Carlisle must've noticed too, and he must've been trying to change the subject, because he asked, "Is that the same wristband as two years ago?"

Ally nodded and said, "Yes, it's extra-lucky now," she said with a smile. She seemed to be lightening up as we got away from talking about vampire things, and settling on more human things. She seemed to be remembering a lot more about her human life then I'd ever seen a newborn do; maybe that was a clue to what her power was. "Oh, really?" Alice said. "What makes it so lucky?" she asked. Ally smiled devilishly as she whipped a small photo out of her back pocket. "This was the only thing that they didn't take," she said, not revealing to who "they" were. She showed the picture to Alice, and I looked over her shoulder. It was Ally, glowing and kissing a gigantic trophy on a softball field; it appeared to be right after a game as Ally was wearing a yellow jersey with the number 10 on it and she was wearing the wristband and catcher's shin pads.

Ally smiled and said, "Last year we won state championship," sporting a smirk that was Emmett-worthy. Emmett looked up from having an inaudible conversation with Rosalie and asked Ally, "Was that the same softball you got smacked in the face with?" Ally shot Emmett a look. Alice suddenly looked off into the distance; I knew that look. "What did you see?" I asked as she returned to the conversation, smiling. "Baseball," she said. We all knew what that meant; a thunderstorm was brewing. "When?" I asked.

"In a few days," she declared triumphantly. Ally gave a look of confusion and asked, "Why do you need the thunder?"

"You'll see," Emmett said with a smirk on his face. Suddenly Bella, Edward, and Nessie came into the scene; Nessie was holding a plastic bottle of some sort, I recognized the smell coming from it as the smell of elk's blood. I gave a strange look to Nessie as she handed the bottle to Ally and said, "Here, we saved you some of our kill," with the biggest smile somebody could have when talking about a dead elk.

"Nessie, you are my new best friend," Ally said as she drank the blood hungrily and had it finished within seconds.

Bella and Edward came up behind Alice and Rosalie and Edward said, "I felt horrible about taking Ally out hunting. It was too soon. Anyway, the blood was Nessie's idea as my peace offering to the family. You forgive me?" he asked Alice and me. "Edward, it's okay, it wasn't anyone's fault. Newborns are unpredictable. Sometimes they're as blood-hungry as Ally or as Jazz once was, and sometimes they can be as well in control as Bella. You never know with them," Alice said calmly as I nodded, agreeing with her. Edward seemed to take this as a satisfactory answer and turned back to talking to Bella. I, on the other hand, turned my attention back to Carlisle and said, "Maybe we should invite the Denali's down."

Carlisle scratched his head as he thought about this idea. "That's not a bad idea. We could even send Ally with them to help her get used to the diet," he agreed with me.

"Send me where?" Ally asked as fear paralyzed her, stiffening me up as well. God, her mood swings are starting to give me whiplash, (AN: This is a line I love from Twilight so I put it in) I thought. Carlisle smiled warmly at the girl, and said, "We won't send you anywhere you don't want to go."

"But where would you send me if I wanted to go?" she asked, starting to relax, and even get curious a bit. As usual, the curiosity sparked an interest in me as well. "To our family friends, the Denali's," Carlisle said calmly. "We consider them cousins and allies of ours. They're another vegetarian clan residing in Denali, Alaska, comprised of Kate, Garret, Tanya, and the leaders, Carmen and Eleazar." Ally nodded, seemingly beginning to accept this idea. "There's less people in Denali, isn't there?" she asked. Carlisle nodded.

"I think it sounds like a great idea!" Nessie exclaimed. "That would be fun to go to Alaska, Ally! I could come with you! Oh, Mom, could I go, please, please, PLEASE?" Nessie begged Bella. I sent some calming waves over to Nessie, and she calmed down slightly, but not by much. Ally smiled sheepishly at Nessie as Bella replied to Nessie, "Ness, calm down. Ally might not want to go to Denali. And besides, what would Jacob do if you went away?" This seemed to crush Nessie's dream of going to Alaska. Carlisle smiled and said, "Well, we'll see."
