Hey everybody! Happy weekend! I'm so glad. Long week. I'll be typing alot this weekend--I get bored often. That's good though--boredness pulls out creativity! :D Please enjoy this chapter ladies and gentlemen!

CARLISLE

"Here, Carlisle. I saw it and thought of you." Alice unfolded a thick navy sweater and a button-up collared shirt to match. Alice's eyes sparkled and her mouth tugged into an expectant smile. Esme stepped in, many bags dangling from her cream white arms, too.

"I thought it would suit your taste, dear." Esme smiled delicately, letting the heavy bags drop. I smiled back.

"Thank you, ladies."

"Of course we didn't forget you all--!" Alice whirled to my sons, all bunched up on the couch. Emmett wore a dramatically agonized face.

All the ladies had gone out on a shopping day, mostly becaude Jasper noted that she hadn't been feeling like herself lately. She did now.

Alice went down the line: Edward got some 'stylish Pumas' as Alice indicated, knakis and some button-up quartlets. Jasper received a peacoat in emerald green and new shoes, too, and Emmett got a black scarf and two gray shirts of different styles.

Emmett wrapped the scarf around his neck and up to his mouth, his nose only showing. He relaxed as if he was not trying to jest, that it was totally in fashion. Rosalie snickered delicately. Alice turned to him, playfully.

"Oh, Emmett! You brute!" Alice laughed, ripping it away from him. He shrugged innocently. "We are not all as beautiful as you, so don't cover up your mug." Alice whipped the scarf over her shoudler with flourish and began a run way walk. By now we were all laughing, and Edward and Emmett's duet of cheesy run way music didn't help matters. Alice stopped at the end of the run way--a.k.a. the kitchen, and laughed heartily. We all did.

I loved my family. Like any father, I wanted what's best for them--happiness.

I wanted my dear Alice to have friends over to shop with.

I wanted Edward to find a girl to spend time with.

I wanted Rosalie to be able to start a family like I knew she yearned to.

I wanted Emmett to be able to interact with other guys at school and at sport events normally.

I wanted Jasper to walk into a room and actually be able to breathe without pain or fear.

I wanted Esme to have her child she lost that eventually brought her mangled body to me. Not one of them didn't deserve it. Alice had snagged someone's glasses and Esme's beanie hat and was voguing with her hands. Emmett rolled around on the ground, feigning a photographer.

Edward and Jasper glanced over when I turned to them. Edward read my wary thoughts; Jasper felt my longing emotion. I looked away from their prodding and worried gazes to enjoy what humanity we Cullens had.

EMMETT

We all sat around the lunch table. I picked up a fry and managed to choke it down. Unbelievably soaked with cold grease, it slithered down my throat. Rose grimaced to me, slurping some chocolate milk. We both pushed away our lunch trays, smacking our lips at the tastes.

We sat in silence. Human high school was such a bore. There should be a vampire school, too. Lunch hour would consist of free time off campus…in a nearby forest.

"I wasn't to do something." Alice pushed out her lip. "I'm bored to death--and I don't have a lot of humanity to spare. C'mon." Alice mumbled. Edward raised an eyebrow at his pouting sister. Jasper cast him a look: "Please respect her wishes." Alice really hadn't been herself lately--and we all knew it ate at Jasper.

"Yes, alright. How about a little trip?" Edward leaned in, his eyes sparkling and his palms rubbing against each other. Alice perked up, intrigued. "Wanna skip the last two hours, everyone? Get some foreign food?" Edward strung out his voice, and Alice glowed at him.

"Yes, yes! We could go to a rainforest!"

"Or the Alpines." I added. New bear types...mmmm…

"Let's make a stop at a farm, too. Cow blood is spicier than deer's or elk's." Rosalie's gem eyes glittered. I sighed at her beauty.

Edward put a hand on Alice's tiny trembling shoulder. She beamed at him, unable to contain herself. We'd have to leave soon before she caused a scene! Jasper smiled down at her, too.

ALICE

I ran with him.

I loved running.

You felt so free--the wind hits you; just softly caressing. My little dress shirt flared behind me; my silver ballet flats kicked up roots and dirt.

Jasper was at my direct left, leaning forward to gain breath-taking speed. His golden hair ruffled against the wind.

We went everywhere that day. It was wonderful to taste new things. We all got in higher spirits after that, and went home before the sun completely disappeared.

Sorry this is such a short chapter. I had to split up Alice's POV for the next update because it's rather long. I didn't want to cram it all in with Emmett and Carlisle--it'd be SUPER long. Review review review and the next chapter will be up soon. Currently at 42 reviews...i'd like to stretch for 50. Go ahead and review old chapters, too, just so i can maek note of what is popular to readers and not so much. Hopefully, i'll b seeing you on the review page, and you'll be seing my next chappie up soon in return!
