Jasper: Your Day
August 2006: One Week Before the Wedding
"Jasper, can you fill these mint cups for the wedding." Alice asked coming down the stairs and placing hundreds of bags on the table.
"Yes, dear." Jasper said noticing her stress and helping her unpack
"Thank you, make sure there are at least ten in each cup, one of each color and after that do you mind wrapping a little ribbon along with the name 'Edward and Bella' on each one." Alice asked again.
"Yes, dear," Jasper answered again.
"Thank you, so much, now here is the guest list, make sure each person gets one." Alice said as Jasper glanced over the list.
"Do I need to make them for Tanya and her family?" Jasper asked as he looked at the guest list.
"Of course, their coming," Alice said promptly.
"But they won't be eating." Jasper said as he glanced over.
"Well, it will look bad if ever other table has one except for their table." Alice pointed out.
"We won't have any?" Jasper said as he looked at the list.
"You have to be kidding me, how will it look if everyone else has these mint cups and the grooms family doesn't have any." Alice gave him a serious look.
"Don't worry, I'll make one for each and every guest," Jasper smiled trying to calm her down.
"Thank you," Alice gave him a kiss on the cheek and left. "I knew I could depend on you. I have to get some things upstairs done, are you sure you don't mind?"
"Not at all," Jasper smiled weakly as Alice left. He glanced over to see Emmett and Edward glaring at the baseball game intensely. He walked over and shut the television off.
"What the?" Emmett looked over.
"Jasper, we were watching that." Edward pointed out.
"Like I care," Jasper calmed both of them down. "Alice wants me to fill these mint cups and there is no way I am filling up these stupid things all by myself." Jasper said as he slammed the boxes on the table. "Now, its sort, cup, tag, ribbon, do both of you get it."
"Didn't she ask you to do it?" Edward asked looking up at him.
"Isn't it your wedding?" Jasper asked.
"True," Edward said as he watched Jasper open a bag of mints and started sorting them by color.
"I tell you, Edward." Emmett started. "When Bella ask you to do something, no what the best thing to do is?"
"Do it?" Edward answered.
"Screw it up," Emmett answered. "Than she'll think its better for her to get the job done, than have to redo it a second time." 'That may not work with Bella those,' He thought to him. 'She's not as picky as Rosalie, everything has to be done her way or its not right.'
"True," Edward answered as Jasper gave both of them a shocked look.
"Don't tell him that," Jasper said appalled. 'She'll see that I am doing it wrong, then tell me how to do it right so I have no excuse'
"Screw it up," Emmett smiled. "Notice my wife has not asked me one thing to do with this wedding."
"That's because she has no say in it." Jasper pointed out.
"Neither does mine," Edward laugh as Jasper rolled his eyes.
"You still shouldn't do it," Jasper pointed out. "It's just not right."
"Alright mint boy, how did you wined up with this job?" Emmett asked.
"Alice asked me," Jasper answered. 'Since she so involved with this wedding, I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night.'
"If you don't want to do it, than why didn't you just say no." Edward asked as he watched Jasper sit out the cups and numbered the names on the guest list.
"Because I would get the look," Jasper answered.
"The what?" Edward asked.
"The look," Emmett answered with a chilling fear.
"It's when her face tightens as if she's winding up." Jasper started taking a big sigh.
"Her muscles pull forward as if they are about to attack." Emmett went on.
"Than her lips quiver as if she's going to explode" Jasper backed up.
"Her jaw drops as if a wild animal is about to break loose." Emmett continued.
"Than her eyes tighten," Jasper went on.
"Her eye lashes flutter," Emmett kept going.
"You have a feeling that she is going to attack," Jasper said rather fearful.
"You think she's ready to explode." Emmett finished as both of them stared at Edward in fear.
"Are you trying to scare me?" Edward asked looking at both of them.
"Edward," Jasper said with a serious tone. "I have seen many things in my immortal life, and nothing can be scarier than the look."
"It is the most frightful thing on the planet," Emmett agreed.
"I remembered the first time I got the look," Jasper went on, they were beginning to sound like two old men at a barber shop.
"Was it the time you accidently ordered the wrong flowers, and you told her it's not that big of a deal?" Emmett asked.
"No," Jasper answered. "I got a look then."
"When was this?" Edward asked.
"When we were planning our wedding," Jasper answered as he started to throw the mints into the cups as Emmett and Edward watched him. They all nodded in agreement remembering how exhausting that event.
"Oh, yeah, that was stressful." Edward said as Jasper open up the 'Edward and Bella' tags. "Good, thing the groom helped."
"Yeah," Jasper answered as he put the first name tag on. 'Unlike this one.'
"Alice said she wanted to do it, so she wanted to do it." Edward backed up.
"My wife could care less," Emmett pointed out.
"Nether could mine," Edward said as they both laugh while Jasper filled another cup. "We originally planned on going to Vegas."
"Nice of you to say this now," Jasper said with a sleek smile as he filled out another mint cup.
"You do know we are not going to even be eating those," Emmett pointed out.
"Hey, its going to be nice." Jasper said as he threw the finished cups on the try while Edward and Emmett just watched.
"Didn't you once think there was no point in vampires getting married?" Emmett asked.
"Yes," Jasper answered as he filled another mint cup. "You two led me into it."
"How?" Edward asked.
"You don't remember?" Jasper looked at him. "Remember how I didn't like Emmett when I first came here?"
"Oh, yeah," Emmett looked over. "I didn't like you either, we both liked Edward those. How did that lead you into you getting married."
"I'll tell you," Jasper answered.
North Dakota, 1954
Edward was easier to get along with than Emmet, I think it may because we were raised in a home with similar morals, and taught similar manners. Emmett was a bit different, I have come across people like Emmett when I was in the army, who were raised in the backwoods similar to were Emmett was raised. Don't get me wrong, nothing was wrong with that, Emmett was still fun to be around, but Edward and I had similar likes and dislikes. That wasn't the only reason Edward and I got along better, we also had similar experiences he was a nomad for awhile, not near as long as me but still he had some of the same experiences I had as a nomad too, and we also seen been to many of the same places. Emmett had always been depended on someone, but there was nothing wrong with that ether, there wasn't much for him and I to talk about with each other. I think the problems arose when Edward and I became close friends and I had not with Emmett.
"So what did you do when you were in Niagara Falls," I asked as Edward while we listen to an update on the Brown vs. Board of Education case, that was now top news.
"Took a flat pieces of wood and surfed down it," Edward answered.
"Interesting," I smiled. "One time Peter, Charlotte and I stole a canoe and tried to row down it, it crashed before we got there. Another time when I was on my own I swam on the current, that was amazing."
"That does sound like fun," Edward answered. "Anything else?"
"There was another time when I just got with Alice, and we ran into Garrett. I told him he couldn't walk across overhang at human speed, considering it's the most powerful fall in North America."
"Did he?" Edward asked.
"No, the water pushed him right over, good thing it was night, because he crawled right climbed up to Luna Island and began again." Jasper explained. "Rendell showed up and talked him into giving up eventually."
"One time Rosalie and I went there once, and we toured on the 'Maid of the Mist'," Emmett said as he interrupted the conversion. "I got to ring the bell."
"That's sounds like fun," Edward said, I had to say for vampires it was rather boring as the radio became static. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we were stuck inside. Rosalie and Alice were upstairs helping plan Rosalie's wedding again, and Esme was on the phone getting something ordered. Emmett, of course was just expected to show up in a tux.
"Emmett, can you come up here for a minute?" Rosalie yelled.
"Coming babe," Emmett said in a rather recited way and left.
"So Edward," I said when Emmett went upstairs. "Wanna play ping pong."
"Sure," Edward said as he turned the radio off and we walked down to the basement and grabbed some paddles. It was in the middle of the second match when Emmett came back down.
"Hey, I've been looking for you." Emmett came down as I felt a bit of jealousy coming from him.
"Oh, sorry, Emmett," Edward said. "I just assumed you would know where we are, do you want to play next round."
"I see…." Emmett stopped speechless. "I think Alice wants to see you?"
"What does she want?" Edward asked suspiciously.
"I don't know," Emmett answered giving me sort of an unhappy glare. "She just said, can you get Jasper for me?"
"I guess I'll see what she wants," I said as I put the paddle down and walked upstairs to see Alice in Rosalie and Emmett's room looking through bridal magazines, part of me wanted to ask why are they getting married again when they had another wedding twenty years ago. Another part of me wanted to ask you know vampires can't stop loving someone, why do you need a gold band to prove you'll be together forever.
"Hey, Alice, you wanted to see me?" I asked knocking on the door.
"I don't remember you asking to see him," Rosalie said with a confused look on her face.
"I didn't," Alice said worried, I was wondering why Emmett said she wanted me. "Jasper, can I talk to you?"
"Sure," I said as she got up and took me to our room across the hall.
"What's going on?" I asked wondering why Emmett was lying to me.
"Rosalie wants me to go shopping with her tomorrow for the wedding," Alice explained. "Emmett is coming and I want you to be there too, it will be a good chance for you and Emmett to get to know one another."
"Aright," I said, Emmett and I were getting along alright, not near as much as Edward and I got along but we did rather well, except he just lied to me. I went back down stairs to find Edward and Emmett in the yard tossing the football back and forth. It made me feel like the third wheel when I came back out.
"Hey, Emmett," I said with a smile as I felt that jealousy coming from Emmett. "Jasper," Emmett said with a weird smile. "Did you see Alice?" "Yes, I did," I answered, not reveling I knew he lied to me about it. "Good, what did she have to say?" he asked. "Jasper do you want to join in and make it a trio," Edward came butting in, I could feel this tension increasing with him, I don't know why he was having this, he was getting along with Emmett fine and I was getting along with him fine. "Yes, and she wants you to go shopping with your wife tomorrow," I smiled knowing he would dread it. "Fine," Edward said as he stood right between us. "Do you want to keep playing?" "Sure," Emmett said as Edward tossed the ball to me.
"Edward, can Rosalie and I talk to you?" Alice called from upstairs, I had a strange feeling Edward was glad to get out of there.
THE NEXT DAY
"Gosh, this is boring," Emmett said to himself as I felt this frustration coming from him. I then began to feel a bit bad for Rosalie, it had to be hard for her to have a mate board with her favorite activity. "Would you quit whining?" I asked getting tired of changing his emotions. "It's not that big of a deal?" "Really?" He asked. "Yes, really." I answered. "You don't mine loading a ton of crap around?" He asked. "Not at all," I answered proudly. "And it's not crap, its Alice's things."
"Well, I'm married so I am allowed to complain about it." Emmett said in a as-a-matter-of-fact sort of way. I wanted to say mated vampires are basically the same thing as married, but I had a feeling he wouldn't understand. I did have to agree with him those, Alice and Rosalie seemed to be taking their own sweet time in the dressing room and there really was nothing we could do. "What time is it?" Emmett asked taking out his watch. "Twelve thirty," I answered. "Why do you want to know?"
"Twelve-thirty, good that's where Edward said…" I than felt the prompt responsible feelings coming towards me, and tapping on the store window, I felt Emmett develop a quick feeling of hope as I turned to see Edward standing at the window. "Great, I knew I could count on him." Emmett smiled as he went outside, I then saw him signaling me to come out too. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Come to meet you like Emmett arranged," Edward answered as a wind grinned came across Emmett's face.
"Good, did you find something for us to do." Emmett asked, didn't we agree to go shopping with our…mates. "Well kind of, I sort of have gotten into some trouble." Edward answered. "What?" I asked as Emmett and I started to worry. Edward then looked over as he kept us on him and went on. "I went to this bar and made a bet with some bikers ….that I could beat them at pool and I won….now they are after me to keep playing so I could use some help." Edward said rather slowly, it almost sounded like recited. "Did they try to mess with you?" Emmett asked offended. I then saw him looking over as if he was watching somebody. "…..Yes,….but I handled them." Edward said quickly. "Then why do need our help?" I asked. He then looked over, as if he was trying to understand someone.
"They …threaten…to ….beat ….me….up." I answered, this was extremely confusing. "No," He said again. "They got very mad at me," He then looked at the two of us. "They were very mad at me, and got drunk….no…..they threat to….that can't be right." "What is going on?" We were both confused, I even felt confusion coming from him. "Do you need my help?" Emmett asked, I personally thought in this situation, even those I didn't know what the situation was, I would be able to offer my assistance. "Yes," Edward nodded. "I need both your help." "What do they look like?" Emmett asked as Edward looked towards the window. "Well…" Edward started. "One has long blonde hair, the other is a short haired brunette."
"But what about……" I was worried what Alice would think about me leaving her. "I'm sure they would be find on their own," Edward answered as if he was certain. "Well, I don't think she would be happy with me just leaving her." I said unsure. "I doubt my wife would care, and if she did what could she do about it, we're married it's not like I need to impress her." Emmett pointed out, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "Well, I know Alice will love me no matter what, but still…." I started. "Ask her," Edward started as I turned to see Alice and Rosalie looking at the window. I had a strange feeling they've been there the whole time, they were motioning us to go. "So what's going on?" Emmett asked, both of us worried.
"We are going into a biker bar to play pool," Edward answered unsure. "Why did you make this deal with them?" I asked. "I don't know, splurge of the moment decision." Edward answered, once again it sounded recited. He then led us into this tiny, dirty, run-down bar off the highway. "Where did you find a place like this?" Emmett asked as we came in. "I don't know," Edward answered, as an emotion of relief.
"Let's come go in." I suggested. The bar had the poorest lighting, and completely filthy along with the disgusted smell of human food and alcohol throughout the air. It was in the mid-day accept for two large humans in black leather, one with long blond hair and the other with short brown hair eating with brown beards wearing black leather sat in the corner with relatively drunk smell, and calm emotions coming from them. "Oh, look they left." Edward said as he came in last. "I guess we can play a game on our own." "Wait a minute, what about those two over there." Emmett asked as Edward looked over. "What two?" Edward asked nervously, it seemed that question was unexpected. "Those two," I pointed as Edward walked straight two them. "Hey, were you the two boozers who threaten my brother."
"Oh, gosh." Edward said as an emotion of embarrassment came from him. "What?" The biker yelled with confusion. "I never seen that boy in my life." "Like hell," Emmett said. "Why did he walk all the way down to the bridal shop and tell us you been pushing us around. It's just a pool game, big deal you lost get over." "I never lost a pool game in my life," The man yelled with his rotting teeth. I swore these two humans could walk into a room full of black-eyed vampires and would be able to walk out alive. They smelled that bad, and they were that tough. "You did too, you just lost one this afternoon." I said correcting them. "Don't lie."
"Rules to live by," Edward said to himself. "Yeah, that's right." Emmett agreed. "We aren't liars," The other man said as he chugged down his beer, and stood up. "As a matter of fact we'll prove it to ya, game right here, right now. We'll play both you, and one of your meatless brothers." "Edward," Emmett called. "No," I said in a serious tone. "Edward already beat these two, I'll play with you Emmett."
"Do you know how?" Emmett asked. "I'll talk him through it." Edward smiled as he sat down. "We'll break," The man said grabbing the triangle. He put the balls together, than took his stick and pushed his ball roughly against the table causing the triangle to break in different directions getting two strip balls into the pockets.
"What's that mean?" I asked Edward. "They are ahead of us and its still their turn." He answered. "But they just went," I was really confused. "But they got a point." Edward whispered. "Now I suggest you make this one nervous, so he misses." I quickly raised the tension of the current shooter had, raising him to be so nervous that he was actually sweating in the middle of winter. I then watched as he went to shoot, he slowly pulled the cue stick back and aimed for another strip. He pulled back and shot it with all his might the ball rolled off the table and the white ball went into the pocket. "Nylon, what the heck?" The other man yelled. "How in the hell did you miss that?"
"I don't know, I just got so nervous about making it." The man grumbled. "Well, no reason to be, these boys look like they still in high school, if they haven't drop out yet." The man said lighting a cigar. "Hey, blonde, I believe it's your turn." "Me," I said. "Yeah," His partner smiled. "Since you wanted to beat us, you can have the first turn."
"Jasper," Emmett said coming towards me, I could sense his desperation into wanting to beat these guys and he clearly had an idea. "You see how those two balls are lined up?" "Yea," I said it was quit obvious. "The man is planning on shooting those two next," Edward whispered. "If you shoot the ball right between them it will be impossible for them to get it, and they will miss and Emmett might have a chance of getting the seven."
"Why can't I just am for the six?" I asked, it was closest to the pocket. "You can't get the six without giving them a point, it's right next to their ball." Emmett explained frustrated. I was really not likening the lack of confidence they had in me, I felt doubt coming from both of them. So I decided to go with my shot anyway, and I didn't make it, but instead I got one of their balls in. I notice the men smiled with their beer stained teeth when my ball didn't go in, but there's did.
"Good job blonde, maybe your younger brother should of played for you." They laughed, I could feel both Edward and Emmett disappointment in me. I couldn't help but be disappointed in myself as they went and made the exact shot Edward said they were going to make, despite my attempts to make him nervous. The brunette was a bit more cocky than his partner, so I quickly gave him over confidence to missed his next shot. It was now Emmett's turn again, I didn't know what emotions to give him the confidence to play or if he did better under pressure.
"What's he going to do?" I asked Edward. "Relax he has it under control," Edward insured me as Emmett went and hit three balls in a row. I notice the tension growing with the men, they gain a bitter hate towards Emmett as he knocked them in, he then missed the next one. Emmett was good at this, now that I think about it I wonder why I was so surprised. When he was finished he came over with me to stargaze. "Alright, " Emmett came over looking directly at me. "Listen we are winning now, all you have to do is get the eight ball in and we have them beat. Do you hear me, get the eight ball in?"
"Emmett, that might not be a good idea." Edward stopped. "Why?" Emmett asked. "Because if this guy gets the shot he thinks he is going for than he'll go for the second , and third. If Jasper goes for the eight ball then, then we'll lose."
"Wait Jasper, did this guy miss last time because you made him nervous." Emmett asked as a woman with big curly red hair and a brown tan walked into the bar wearing a simple plain yellow dress, with her hair pulled back in a bun. I then notice both the bikers dropped everything as soon as she entered. The blonde one came over and walked her to their table, and pulled out her chair as she sat down gracefully then went to the bar tender. down and went to the door, and open it for her.
"Take, your hats off boys, that's his wife." The other biker came over saying it like an order. We quickly took off the hat as the woman's husband, who was at least twice her size came over with a coke and an ice glass. He went over and poured it for her, gave her his coat and had a short conversion with her. He then started heading to the junk box.
"Why is he taking so long?" I asked a little too loud as the man looked over rather offended. "You see that ring on her finger, well I put it on her, so she isn't just my little girlfriend and let me tell you something about that little band of gold." The big muscular man started as this pride started coming from him. "Its a mark of honor, I tell you, and the man who gave that tiny little ring to her does his best to treat her with honor and nothing but, haven't your mama ever taught you that?"
"Yes," I answered figuring I would do the same thing to Alice if she walked in despite not having a piece a rock on her finger. "Good, so why my loving wife is here you three better be nothing but gentlemen, do you hear me, no cursing, dirty talk, and when you pass her you all better say 'excuse me, maim'. I would hate to see what happens if you don't treat her like a lady. You never want to see a married man when his wife is not, isn't that right?" He then looked towards Emmett noticing his wedding ring. I couldn't help but notice Emmett nodding with agreement towards the man. So I didn't say anything to him. The man went and shot it, I notice I didn't have to raise his tension level to make him nervous, his wife watching was good enough.
"So I take it you don't have one," The other man said looking at my hand. "Oh, I do," I said. "Girlfriend," His wife asked, I couldn't help but notice her emotions remained unchanged the whole way through her husband's speech. "More than that," I answered, the word 'girlfriend' wasn't enough to described Alice.
"Well, let me tell you one thing, you can give a girl everything but I doesn't mean nothing' till you put a band on her finger." The big blond hair man went on. "Isn't that right dear?" "Yes, honey, that's what my father said on our first date." The woman nodded. "Respect thy wife," The other biker said as Emmett ignored them and examined the table. "Aren't you suppose to respect all ladies?" I asked trying to get them by surprise. "Yes, but you honor the one you love." The man said. "Is this girlfriend your Honey, I take it?"
"Yes, she is," I answered with a smile. "Jasper," Emmett said making a motion, they were no longer paying attention. I hit the ball, causing the right one to go in. the two men watched me, as the man's wife watched as I hit the next one Emmett pointed to, than I missed. "How long have you and your fine lady have been courting?" the woman asked I could tell it was out of curiosity. "Five years," I answered as I saw an astonished look come from all their faces. "Five years and your still dating," The woman said, I heard her muttering to herself, "I would of left you years ago, my gosh what patient does she have."
They were really starting to annoy me as the over confidence man came up to hit and missed, it was Emmett's turn again. He went up to hit, I watched as Edward pulled me back he went to hit the eight ball right into the corner pocket. "You…." The brunette man said stuttering. "You…." The overconfident man glared coming towards Emmett. "You are going to pay for that! That was the first game I lost! I am going…" He than stopped, I quickly calmed him down as his friend came up. "Leroy, if you are going to beat those people up that is fine. May I ask that you do it outside, because my wife is right here and its rude to beat men up in front of a lady, and I won't like it if you dishonor my wife by beating up these fine people in front of her." His friend interrupted. "Sorry, Sara," Leroy nodded towards him.
"Emmett," I said not shaking. "Let's go." "Yes, let's go," They agreed walking at rate. "Don't you walk away from me boys," Leroy yelled throwing his bear mug at Emmett spilling it all over his shirt. Emmett stopped, and turned looking towards the man, I could tell he was rather anger. "Emmett," I said calming him. "Lets walk always." "Yes, before we do something dangerous." Edward finished. "Agree," We both walked out determine never to see those two again.
I wondered why Edward was so scared of those guys. We were still laughing at that man's face when Emmett put his shirt into the washer before Esme came home.. We were at the house, playing a card game and listening to the radio when a car pulled up. I then felt this anger coming from the gauge as two car doors slammed.
"You got to be kidding me," Edward said rather frustrated as the kitchen door slammed, followed by another slam. "Come on, Alice be reasonable." Rosalie said coming from the kitchen. "Would you be reasonable," Alice asked. "I am sorry but I refused."
"Well, I guess that's to bad because you will." Rosalie 's voice came through as Emmett let out a huge sigh. I couldn't help but get a little upset too, I've finally got along with your new buddy's mate and your starting to argue.
"Why don't you make me?" Alice asked, now I had to get in there as Emmett stood up. "Oh, your short enough I could." Rosalie answered as the tension rose. "Alright, Jasper time to intervene." Emmett stood up as we went to the kitchen seeing Alice and Rosalie about to attack each other. I quickly grabbed Alice, as Emmett went to get Rosalie.
"Let me at her, let me at her." Rosalie said as Emmett had his wife in an unbreakable. "Face, it you'll be lost without me."
"And what's that suppose to mean?" Alice asked as I felt the tension rise even higher. "If it wasn't for me you would be running around in an orange t-shirt and a faded pair of blue jeans," Rosalie yelled. "And if it wasn't for me you would be sitting on the couch moaning about the world." Alice yelled back. "Well, sorry I don't get excited over the simplest thing," Rosalie went on. "You know that gets truly annoying."
"Well, at least I'm not a snob." Alice yelled as they came out of both of our arms and attacked and winded up in a catfight on the floor. To defend herself Alice grabbed the water hose and sprayed it on Rosalie who blocked herself causing it to come out and water to start spraying form the sink and all over the kitchen it caused both of them to slip, to stay balance herself Rosalie grabbed the cupboard causing it to rip off the wall and the plates to fall and slip breaking on the floor.
I quickly calmed them down as I saw Esme coming into the door, Emmett and I grabbed her just as she walked into the kitchen. She walked in, I watched as her jaw dropped I notice this strange, tiered looking anger come from her as she looked at the floor which was practically a lake, along with the ripped cupboard door, and pile of broken plates. She didn't say anything, she just stared turned and walked out. and broken cupboards and then she walked out.
LATER
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it." Alice kept saying as she paced our room.
"What did you see?" I asked. "It's not what I saw, it's what I didn't see," Alice answered furiously. "Her not apologizing to me."
"How is it going downstairs?" I asked trying to change the subject. "Esme is talking to Edward, and now he is heading up to talk to Rosalie." Alice answered angry. "It's not going to go well."
"What was the fight about?" I asked. "Apparently she thinks I'm going to give in that easily." Alice answered, I swore this was the first time I ever seen her truly angry. That was when a knock came on the door. "That's Edward," Alice said. "Don't let him in." I really don't think it mattered whether or not I let him in, because he just walked in anyway.
"You better not be taking her side," Alice pointed out. "Don't shoot the messenger," Edward responded. "I came to tell you that Rosalie said, she's not talking to you and you'll be kicked at of the wedding if you don't agree to it."
"Tell her she's already married, so what's the point of having a wedding." Alice answered promptly. "Why don't you talk to her?" Edward asked. "I am not going to her till I see a vision of her crawling on my knees begging for mercy." Alice answered. "Alright, I knew her a long time that's a fat chance." Edward pointed out. "So you better prepare for staying her for a couple centuries."
"Well, there is a first time for everything." Alice pointed out. "Right you are Alice," Edward smiled towards me. "Jasper." "What?" I asked. "Promise you won't do anything when I make my next move." Edward said quickly.
"Jasper, please stop him." Alice said as Edward walked closer and then grabbed Alice, picking her up and caring her out into the hall. "Jasper," Alice yelled as I followed them calming her down. "Edward, I am not going there." Alice said quickly as Edward stopped at Rosalie and Emmett's bedroom door. "You're not going in there," Edward pointed out. "Your being forced in there."
"Jasper, help." Alice said sounding rather pathetic, I wanted d to help her but part of my curiosity couldn't help but wonder why he was doing this. Edward knocked on the door, as Emmett came to answer. "Any luck?" Edward asked. "No," Emmett answered. "Who is it Emmett?" Rosalie asked as Emmett looked down towards him holding Alice. "Its Edward," Emmett answered. "He came to deliver a package."
"What is it?" Rosalie asked coming out to the bedroom. "Your Maid of Honor," Edward answered finally plopping Alice down on the floor. They both stood up and turned to each other's back. "Emmett," Rosalie said. "Tell Alice, its my wedding and I decide the brides maids dresses."
"This isn't seriously what you are fighting over?" Emmett asked. "Tell her," Rosalie said giving him a nasty look. "Alice, its her wedding she decides the brides maids dresses." Emmett recited. "Jasper," Alice called me over, I was really wishing to stay out of it. I calmed them down but they still had their backs towards each other. "Yes, Alice." I answered slowly. "Tell Rosalie, I deiced what I want to wear and if I don't want to wear that dress than she can't make me." Alice looked towards me. "She's right there," I pointed out.
"Jasper," She said giving me a nervous look. "Rosalie," I said not thinking much of it. "Alice decides what she wants to wear, you can't force her to wear anything."
"Emmett," Rosalie said again. "I am not doing this," Emmett said finally.
"Tell Alice," Rosalie said ignoring him.
"Alright, alright, I can settle this." Edward butted in. "Alice, considering that it is Rosalie's day, than she decides the color schemes, on your day, you can choose whatever you want." I wondered if she could read her mind then, because I could tell by her disappointed look she didn't like the idea.
"Rosalie," Edward went on. "You want a dress that Alice's looks good in, because I can see both of you, and you are unsure. So how about you deiced on a new dress, and pick out one that looks nice on her, good deal." Alice took a deep breath sadly as she turned towards Rosalie. "Edward's right, Rosalie, it is your day, you deiced I'll just live with it." It was with that she left, and I followed her.
"Are you alright," I asked when we got back to our room. "Yeah," Alice answered. "You know I truly hate weddings."
"Why?" I asked. "I don't know," Alice answered. "I know you don't get the point."
"Would you like to have one?" I asked Alice. She gave me a shocked look, that was rather unexpected so she didn't see that coming.
"Are you asking?" She said with a smile. "When Rosalie and Emmett said they were having another wedding you said how does a day of being dulled up and piece of metal around one's finger prove you love someone more than you do before."
"True," I answered, I did say that. "But now that I think of it, it's something more, it is a way you prove you love someone else. it is showing to the world you love someone, plus….i think you deserve your day too."
"You do," Alice smiled. "Alright then, let's have one of our own, but just one."
"Just one," I smiled. "And you can have everything go your way." It was a promise, that will lead to bigger ones.
Today
"Now, you are here putting mints into cups." Emmett smiled as Jasper finished the last one.
"Hey, I got a confession." Edward started.
"Let me guest, Bella and most of her family are allergic to mints." Jasper answered as he finished the last cup.
"No," Edward said. "I made up the whole thing with the bikers, Rosalie and Alice were trying to figure out a way for you two to get along."
"No," Both Emmett and Jasper said sarcastically.
"You figured that out?" Edward asked shocked.
"Yeah, considering a vampire being intimated by humans." Emmett pointed out.
"Plus, Alice confessed a while ago,." Jasper pointed out.
"Rosalie, did too." Emmett said. "Speaking of all this wedding planning we both been waiting to ask you something.
"Yeah," Jasper went on. "And I should proudly ask this as I put the last 'Edward and Bella' sign on this ribbon."
"What?" Edwards asked. "We know the dog is not coming to the wedding," Emmett went on. "Just ask me." Edward started.
'Which one of us is going to be your best man?' Both Jasper and Emmett started giving him sympathetic looks.
