"Oh no you are NOT!" I yelled. Jasper winced.
"Bella's embarrassed, she needs a friend. What, do you think I'm gonna make a move on her?" he grinned impishly.
"Jasper, don't make me come over there!" I hissed.
"Oh so you do think I'm gonna make a move?" he asked all too innocently, inching his way to me. Me, make a move on Bella, ha! Although if Edward is really that insecure…
I was running toward him now, about to assure him how secure I was, when Emmett let out a roar.
"ALRIGHT! Break it up!" Emmett's voice could probably be heard a mile away. Why was he all of a sudden playing peacekeeper around here? And why was I the only one being tackled? As I thought this, I realized that I should move out of the way, but it was too late. Emmett was flying toward me at vampire speed, and had me on the ground in seconds.
Jasper laughed and walked out of the house. I couldn't leave him alone with Bella! Wait, this was my brother for crying out loud! He was married! I let him go. I didn't want him or Bella to think I was paranoid.
"Emmett, please get off of me," I looked up at him, hoping to look innocent.
"Alright, but I don't want you to go after Jasper. He's not going to do anything," he said in a motherly tone. Emmett slowly got off of my legs, but I couldn't resist the next comment. It came out too fast for me to stop it.
"Okay, Mom," I said.
What? Oh, he so did not just call me Mom! I'll show him Mom! "I'll show you Mom!" Emmett repeated his thoughts.
Crap. I tried my best to move out of the way as I watched Emmett's fist move blindingly fast toward my jaw. Maybe that was why Emmett had such big muscles. He was insecure about his masculinity! I laughed at the thought while rubbing the spot where his fist had made contact with my face.

I wasn't sure how I planned on getting home, if I called Charlie he would think that Edward had hurt me, when really he hadn't. I didn't want to be near Edward, I was far too embarrassed for that. Suddenly, I wasn't embarrassed, just content.
"Jasper, you don't have to take me home…well, you wouldn't mind, would you?" I knew it was him, he was the only one who could toy with my emotions like that. Jasper chuckled.
"I was wondering myself what you expected to do once you got out here. It's a long way back to Charlie's house," he replied. He walked me toward Edward's Volvo and opened the passenger door. I got in and almost instantaneously Jasper was in the driver's seat.
"Thanks, Jasper. I really do owe you one," I said.
"It's no problem. Just the look on Edward's face when I offered to take you home was payment enough," he snickered at the memory.
"He's not mad at you, is he?" I asked, worried that I may have caused a fight between brothers.
"Oh, no. Just himself. He thought I wanted to take you home to make a move on you," he explained, "Now he realizes that he was paranoid. Though if it weren't for Emmett I may not have made it out the door."
I laughed. "What's with Emmett playing peacekeeper, anyway?" I asked. "And why is it always Edward that seems to need to be tackled?"
"Emmett uses any reason he can to tackle anybody. Apparently, peacekeeping gives him the excuse he needs. I suppose Edward is one of his favorite targets. It's not often that you catch him without his guard up." Jasper grinned as he undoubtedly thought of Emmett on top of Edward.
"Oh." We pulled into he driveway just as Charlie got out of his cruiser. He looked confused as his eyes wandered to Jasper in the driver seat of the Volvo. I didn't want to take the time to explain, so I didn't. Jasper just shrugged at Charlie and pulled out of the driveway.

How was Jasper doing this to me? I knew for a fact he wouldn't do anything with Bella, and I knew for a fact that Bella would smack him, or at least try to, maybe end up hurting herself, if he did try something. Hell, Harry Potter would probably have a better chance with Bella than Jasper. Harry Potter? I laughed to myself. She hadn't really explained that one, but I was sure she was just as confused as I was by that.
When I pulled my car into Charlie's driveway the next morning, Bella was waiting. The second her eyes found mine, she blushed. Probably leftover embarrassment from the Harry Potter incident. I got out and opened the passenger door. Once we were on the road, Bella broke the silence.
"Sorry about Emmett. I was just a little flustered. He's not a very good peacekeeper, by the way. I think he just makes it worse."
I laughed, "I wouldn't call it peacekeeping, it's more like Emmett needs to tackle somebody."
"I see. So, are we at a truce, then?" she asked.
"If that's what you want, love," I replied, grinning.
"It sure looks like that's what you want," she said.
"Bella, how about we turn our attention to someone else?"
"What do you mean?" she asked, clearly confused.
"Well, think about Alice. She's been toying with our minds. Don't you think it's about time that someone gave her a taste of her own medicine?" I asked.
"Oh. So Alice was right. You do like to mess with people. I'm in, but how do we keep this from her? Won't she just be able to read the future and then tell what we're going to do? What about Emmett? The only thing he's been doing is pinning you down," she said.
"You're right, Alice may be a hard target, and it would be nice to have her on our team. Decisions, decisions." I grinned as we pulled into the school.
A/N-Thank you all reviewers! Now, I'm in the same spot as Edward, I have a decision to make. Who would you like me to apply my evil genius to now? Emmett? Alice? Someone else? Tell me in your reviews! :D
