Chapter 9: It's 1st April, time for some Cullen April fools pranks...
9. Fools in love
Alice grinned as she looked out of the window, where Edward was trying to convince Emmett that a UFO had landed in the bottom of the garden. He would try the same trick on her, later. That wasn't the only prank Alice had foreseen. She also knew to avoid opening the kitchen door - where Emmett had balanced a bucket of muddy water - to stay out of the lounge, which was covered in fake spiders, and not to believe Rosalie when she said that the school was now open on Saturdays, and everyone had to attend classes. The most worrying vision Alice had seen was Bella with red eyes, but she had relaxed when the vision had ended with Bella taking out the contacts to reveal brown orbs and everyone laughing.
Alice's pranks were the best, obviously. There was a glass of grape juice on the counter - which Emmett would mistake for blood later and gulp down the whole glass before he realised it was his least-favourite human food - cling-film wrap over the doorframe - which Edward would run through at vampire speed and get caught up in - and a manequin body that would fall out of the closet when it was opened by Esme that night. And that was just the ones in the kitchen.
She was quite proud of her pranks, as she foresaw the outcome, and chuckled to herself. The thing about April fools day, was that Alice saw it as a competition. And of course, being the only real participant and the only judge, she always won. No one could suprise Alice, she knew what to look out for. Edward had an advantage, being able to read peoples minds and see what they were planning, but Alice could always get around that. Usually, she would just think about shoes or purses whenever he was around, and he would get out of her mind.
This year, she had definately won. By miles. No one had managed to pull a prank on her yet. Alice's smile grew - she was officially the master of pranks. She felt a pair of arms snake their way around her waste, "I hope you haven't got anything too evil lined up for me, Mrs Hale."
"I wouldn't be that mean to you." Alice said with a smile as Jasper laughed softly
"Well i should hope not, because otherwise, i might not give you these." Jasper said, and he produced a bunch of flowers. Alice squealed in delight at the roses he held out to her. 12 crimson red roses, tied with a little white bow.
"Oh Jazz," Alice said, hugging him tightly, "What are they for?"
"I need a reason to give you flowers?" Jasper asked. Alice narrowed her eyes at him, and he laughed, "They are because i love you, Alice. I will love you until the last one dies."
Alice's face fell, "Until they die?"
Jasper hid his smile, "Do not look so worried, Alice."
"Shouldn't i be worried?" Alice asked in astonishment. After all, he had just told her that he would stop loving her once the roses had died.
"You'll see." Was all Jasper said.
2 weeks later...
Alice stared intently at the last rose. Over the last fortnight, her worry had only increased and increased. How could these roses influence Jasper's love for her? Why would he stop loving her once they died?
Well, they hadn't died yet. All but one had withered a few days ago, and it was this one that Alice was gazing at now. It was still just as bright and beautiful as the day Jasper had given it to her.
She heard Jasper enter the room behind her, but didn't tear her gaze away from the rose. She could feel Jasper's smug smile as he watched her. The same smile he'd had every day for the past two weeks when he'd caught her looking at the flower. Alice glared at it - how could something so beautiful cause this much worry? And how was it still fresh and alive?
Alice reached out cautiously, afraid to touch the flower incase it wilted and died right there and then. When her finger tips brushed the flower she gasped. Not soft petals, but something smooth and hard. Alice turned around to face Jasper at last, finding him grinning like an idiot. "It's fake. It will never die."
"Bingo." Jasper said softly. A grin spread across Alice's face as she lept into Jasper's arms.
"That's so sweet, Jazz." She said, then she hit his shoulder, "You had me worried!"
"You doubted my love?" Jasper asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Well...no..." Alice faultered, then she looked at Jasper with a twinkle in her eye, "I think you just won April fools day!"
Soooo i know the roses thing isn't really original, because everyone uses it, but i thought it was quite a sweet little thing to put in there. What did you think of all the pranks?
Hope you liked it :)
