Okay. Some people requested an interview with Alice, so here you go! Chapter starts after this! :)
ENJOY!!! :)
Me: Hi Alice. Thanks for coming out today.
Alice: HI! I am soooo happy to be here! I need to get my MIND off some, um…-cough-…things?
Me: Aha. What things, exactly, are you talking about? –holds microphone closer to Alice, shines all the lights on Alice-
Alice: -tugs at collar- Um, well, you know, the usual. Fashion and stuff.
Me: I see… Well, we're not letting this go anytime soon. Anyways, first question. The readers want to know if you think you got closer to Jasper in the last chapter.
Alice: Well, obviously, we did. Not too close or anything, but we bonded pretty well.
Me: Excellent! Now that's what our readers want to hear! Bella was just so stubborn! She wouldn't tell us anything! You're so much different though! I LOVE YOU!
Alice: Um, me too?
Me: Yes, yes. Anyways, another question. Do you ever get jealous anymore?
Alice: Well, duh! If someone has a new style before me, of course I get jealous! I want all the styles first!
Me: You know, I mean jealous about something else.
Alice: What something else?
Me: ARG! YOU'RE JUST LIKE BELLA!
Alice: -hold up hands as a shield- God! Don't explode! Fine, I'll tell you!
Me: -grins- That works every time.
Alice: Whatever. Anyways, maybe I get jealous sometimes. Nothing too big though. Besides, I ALWAYS remind myself that I am the most beautiful on this planet! For Jasper, anyways.
Me: -mumbles- Man. You're more self centered than Rosalie…
Alice: What was that?
Me: -smiles sweetly- Nothing.
Alice: It sure sounded like something.
Me: You sure are annoying. Anyways, last question. Do you have fantasies?
Alice: -furrows eyebrows in confusion- About fashion and stuff? Well, once I had a fantasy that there was this 95% off sale, and I-
Me: No, no, no. I don't mean those kinds of fantasies.
Alice: -still confused- Then what kind of fantasies are you talking about?
Me: -grins evilly-
Alice: -eyes widen in understanding- Oh.
Me: Yes. Oh. Now share please.
Alice: - looks at wrist- Gee. Look at the time! I have to go meet Bella and Rosalie for a girls night out! Bye! – runs off-
Me: Hey! You're not even WEARING a watch! Come back! Now! I'll pull your little, fragile body here! I'm your writer! Your creator! Your master! You will do as I say! Come back!
Alice: -doesn't come back-
Me: -sigh- Well, I will find out the truth soon enough! Anyways, thanks for watching this interview! Tune in next time for yet another guest! I know, I know. I am friends with tons of celebrities. –grins-

Chapter 25: Talking (JPOV)
Alice seemed to be staring at my hand, considering whether or not she should come with me. It was like she wasn't certain that she could trust me, or that she was too shy. I couldn't stand to be another second away from my Alice though. I would be crushed. I would do whatever it took to get her to accept my offer.
Before I made my plan go into action though, she took my hand. She didn't take it in a shy, light, soft way either. She took it with pride, confidence, and strength. That's my girl.
I smiled at her gently and guided her out the door. We walked over to where the others were standing, and something interesting seemed to be going on.
Rosalie had her back to our car, and Emmett was covering her eyes with his big hands. Bella was laughing violently and holding her sides, while Edward was just standing there, shaking his head.
"You don't need to do this Emmett. It isn't necessary." Edward said. I waited patiently, waiting for the scene to unfold in front of me.
"Actually, I do need to do it." Emmett replied, smiling.
"What do you need to do?" I asked. Where had this situation came from?
"Well, I am going to show Rosalie our car, the right way. I am going to surprise her!" Emmett said, squealing like a little kid.
I was confused. "Rosalie? You've never seen our car before?"
"Guess not," Rosalie answered. "I was too busy talking and whatever to notice anything, actually."
Emmett, jumping up and down like a kid on Christmas morning, took his arms away from Rosalie's eyes. Rosalie was still standing there though, a grin on her face. She seemed to want to mess with Emmett for a little while.
Emmett pouted when he saw that Rosalie hadn't turned around. "Come on Rosalie! Turn around! You can look now!"
Rosalie, satisfied with Emmett's begging, turned around to face our car. She let out a whistle. She was obviously impressed.
She began to walk around the car, inspecting it. "Man Emmett. This is a sweet ride you got here."
Emmett, who was standing behind Rosalie, quickly looked at me. When Rosalie was too busy inspecting the tires, he wagged his eyebrows in a very 'Emmett' kind of move.
That made me grin, Bella fall into hysterics, Edward chuckle, and Alice laugh. Ah. Her laugh was so wonderful. So pure. So radiant. So soft. So beautiful. So…Alice.
"Can we just go now? We didn't come here to watch Rosalie kiss your car." Edward huffed, annoyed.
Emmett snickered. "All right, all right. Don't go lunatic Eddie."
Emmett, laughing, then came up to Edward and whispered in his ear. I was lucky enough to be able to hear everything.
"At least my girl can kiss."
No way. Edward was going to explode. Poor guy.
"Well," Edward started, "too bad she isn't brave enough to test her skills on you!"
Emmett was unmoved by Edward's reaction. He just grinned and headed back to Rosalie. Edward though, was standing still, fuming and glaring at Emmett. Poor Bella was trying to comfort Edward.
Don't you just love friendly arguments?
"Let's get a move on!" Alice exclaimed, tugging me to our car. I just loved her energy. No wonder Bella and Rosalie feared Alice.
All of us, listening to Alice, headed to the car. Emmett and got in the driver's seat, Rosalie sitting by him. Everyone else got in the car and sat next to their ladies.
Emmett started the car and we headed out of their driveway.
"So," Emmett began, "we were planning on eating somewhere first. There's a TV there though, so we won't be able to talk as much. Do you ladies want t-,"
"No!"
Edward, Emmett, and I all looked at the three girls, shocked by their outburst. Why had they just yelled 'no?'
Bella, not liking the attention, quickly explained. "Um, I mean, we already ate. Well, we didn't eat that much, but, um, we're not hungry?"
Okay then. That was weird.
"Well, we'll skip eating then. We still have two places to go to anyways, and it is noon, so we still have the whole day ahead of us." Edward said, smiling at Bella. Bella just blushed. Edward grinned.
I then turned to Alice. "So, are you excited about today?"
Alice smirked. "You have no idea. I even avoided wearing heels."
I laughed at that. Alice avoiding fashion to spend today with me? That made me laugh and smile even more. How much I adore this girl.
Soon, we were at our first destination.
Alice, Bella, and Rosalie jumped out of the car. They stared at the place before them, and their mouths flew open.
"Oh."
"My."
"God."
"Can a place like this really exist in the summer?" Bella squeaked.
"In New York, it can. Now, who's up for some skating?" Edward asked.
Alice nodded her head violently. Rosalie grinned.
Bella looked mortified. "No! No! No! How can I go ice skating! Those blades are thin and sharp! I'm clumsy too! I can't stand on those with falling and scratching my eyes out!" Bella shouted, inching back from the skating rink.
Edward looked at Bella and wrapped his arms around her. "You won't fall, remember? I'll always be there to catch you."
Something in that phrase caused Bella's eyes to light up. She immediately nodded her head. "Let's go."
Delighted, we all want to buy our skates.
When we did, Emmett took Rosalie on to the ice, Edward took Bella, and I took Alice.
Emmett immediately started skating with Rosalie. Rosalie was great, and Emmett was too. People were laughing at him though. Seeing a big guy skating gracefully was something so out of ordinary, and it did make you want to laugh.
Edward was carefully holding Bella. Bella looked absolutely terrified, and she slipped a couple of times, but like Edward had promised her, he caught her every time.
Alice and I slowly headed onto the ice. When we were safely on the ice, Alice, who was still holding my hand, started skating across the ice. I had to skate really fast in order to keep up to her.
Soon though, she let go of my hand, and she started skating like an expert. She was doing twists, turns, jumps and landings, and she was doing them perfectly.
When she skated, it was so graceful. It was like she was dancing on the ice or something. It just made me realize just how pretty and just how special she was.
I think I just fell in love with this girl even more, if it was even possible.
"Hey! Why don't we switch partners? You know, to see how the other skates?" Emmett suggested. Everyone nodded their heads, except me. I wanted to be with Alice even more.
Eventually though, I had Rosalie, Edward had Alice, and Emmett had Bella.
Bella was scared to be with Emmett. She was terrified, actually. She knew what a prankster Emmett was, and she knew that she was clumsy. They would not be a good pair.
I started to skate with Rosalie though. I had to admit, she was good and graceful. She wasn't as graceful as Alice though. In my eyes, at least.
I peeked over at Alice and Edward. They were skating side by side. Alice was showing off her tricks, and they were talking. When I got Alice back, I would talk with her too.
I then heard a scream.
I looked over at Bella and Emmett, and Edward did too.
Emmett was carrying Bella on his shoulders, and he was skating. Bella, afraid that Emmett would drop her, started screaming.
"Emmett! Put me down now! Please!"
Emmett though, didn't listen. "Oh, come on Bella! I'm a very good skater!"
Bella glared at Emmett. "I don't care if you're the best! Put me down now!"
"Fine," Emmett grumbled. He put Bella down and smiled at her. "Happy now?"
"Yes. You can do anything you want with me, except carry me." Bella said.
Emmett's eyes sparkled. "Anything, huh?"
She then grabbed Bella by the arms and started to spin her in circles.
You could tell that Bella was more scared than dizzy.
"Emmett! Stop! Please! I'm going to fall! Emmett!" Bella yelled. She tried to free her hands, but it was no use. No one could escape from the 'big guy.'
"Don't worry," Emmett said. He then started to spin her faster.
Bella gasped. "No! Please! Edward! Help!"
Edward sighed. "Just let her go Emmett. We're here to let them have fun. We're not here so they can be forced to think that they're going to die."
"You worry too much Eddie!" Emmett said. He didn't stop spinning Bella though.
Ignoring Emmett, we all turned back to our skating buddies. Before we could skate though, we heard a scream.
We immediately looked at Emmett, but Bella wasn't with him.
Emmett was just staring ahead, dumbfounded.
We looked in the direction that he was looking in, and we saw Bella.
Maybe Emmett had accidentally let go of Bella's hand. Maybe.
Well, actually, we all know that Emmett had let go of Bella's hand.
And Bella was now flying across the skating rink.
Thankfully, she landed on some hay, which just happened to be on the other side of the skating rink.
The bad news though, was that her head was stuck in it.
We all quickly rushed over to Bella.
When we reached her, Edward tried to pull her out, but she was stuck in there pretty good.
"Get me out!" Bella's muffled screams said.
We all grabbed her and pulled her out, and she landed with a 'thud' on the ice.
She stood up carefully and brushed the hay off of her. She then turned to look at Emmett, and she glared at him.
Emmett was trying to act innocent. "Look Bella! It was an accident, and I j-,"
Bella interrupted Emmett though by laughing.
She started slapping her knees and holding her sides. She was literally in hysterics.
Bella's laughter made everyone happy. So we all laugh with Bella, glad that she wasn't mad.
Emmett's laugh was a nervous one though. He was just glad that Bella wasn't mad.
"Well, why don't we just go back to how we were? I'll take Bella again, Emmett takes Rosalie, and Jasper takes Alice?" Edward suggested.
Everyone nodded their heads. That seemed like a really good idea now.
So, everyone got their original partners back.
When I was with Alice again, I skated with her, I twirled her, spun her around, and made her happy. Alice laughed, smiled, giggled, and beamed at me.
Perfect.
We were having so much fun skating, but now, I wanted to just talk with her, like Edward had done. I cleared my throat to say something, but I was interrupted by Emmett.
"Okay! Time to go to our last place everyone! So, go return your skates of death, exit the rink, and head to the car. We will then escort you to your special place."
I was confused. We were planning to skate until 5:00. Why leave so early?
I then looked at my watch.
Wow.
It was 6:30 pm already! How could we have been skating for 5 hours straight? Well, I guess that the time just flew by when Alice and I were together. I hated that it seemed like I had spent so little time with Alice.
We all obeyed Emmett's orders though.
When we were done, we all got in the car and we all sat like we did before.
I looked out the window though, to see how dark it was outside. The sun was just starting to set, and soon, a wonderful ray of colors would be visible.
Perfect.
I wanted to talk to Alice at this time of day. It seemed like the most romantic, right? Me talking to her when the sky was full of spontaneous colors? That seemed special enough to me.
Would it feel special enough to Alice though?
The car started, and everyone was silent. We all seemed to be catching our breaths from all that skating we did. We had a fun time, but skating really does swipe your energy away.
Soon, we arrived at our second destination.
This time though, when the girls got out and looked at the place, their eyes started to fill with tears.
"It's beautiful," they all said.
We were all standing in front of the biggest, shiniest, most beautiful and special lake in New York. There were grass and flowers everywhere, and you could clearly see the sun setting over the horizon.
Edward, Emmett, and I all planned that we would sit together for a while as a group and talk. Then, we would take our ladies and go off on our own for a while.
The idea seemed perfect, and it would make what I had planned even more special.
We all walked through the grass together. After a minute, we sat down on the grass and just stayed there. We were all looking up at the sky, gazing upon the beautiful colors of the night.
"Are you all enjoying this day?" Edward asked. I could see all the girls nodding their heads.
"Thanks you so much for bringing us." Bella said.
"This day was beautiful and special in every way." Rosalie agreed.
Alice then looked at me. "I'm glad I get to spend time with the people I love most."
Maybe it was me, but could she possibly be implying something?
I sure thought so.
Score 1 for Jasper!
Emmett then sat up. "Well, let's go walk a little bit Rosalie."
Rosalie nodded her head and grabbed Emmett's hand. They then walked out into the night.
Edward followed Emmett's lead. He looked at Bella thoughtfully, and Bella smiled, standing up to join Edward. Together, they walked off.
I turned towards Alice to see her already standing up.
"Let's go."
I smiled and nodded. She was such a rebel. She was unlike a lot of girls.
And I loved her for that.
I quietly got up and Alice and I started to walk.
We were silent for a few minutes. We were just focusing on the nature around us.
After a while though, I wanted to talk. "So, are you enjoying yourself?"
Alice nodded her head. A smile was on her face and her eyes were glowing.
I nodded. "That's good. So, I have a question. Bella or Rosalie?"
Alice looked at me and laughed. "You're actually asking me to choose? How can I? I mean, Bella is that calm, cool, and collected sister I've always wanted. She's smart, stubborn, full of life, and sweet. What's not to love? Rosalie on the other hand is my fashion buddy. She's feisty, strong, self absorbent, and, well, she's Rosalie. No one could ever pass up on a friend like her. I love them both equally. They're a prt of who I am."
And soon, I would like to be your other half.
"I see. Good answer." I said.
Alice smirked. "Thank you. What about you though? Edward or Emmett?"
Tough one.
I smiled. "Hmm. Well, Edward is the serious boy of this friendship. He's musically talented, sweet, kind, caring, and he can play sports pretty well."
"Sporty are what boys want in a friend?" Alice asked, grinning.
I snickered. "Fashionable are what girls want in a friend?"
"Touché. Continue please."
I smiled. "My pleasure. So anyways, Emmett is that energetic, funny, sporty, strong, big kind of friend. He's goofy most of the time, but he's protective of us. So, I can't really choose between the two. I love having them both as my friends."
Alice smiled. "I love them too. They're awesome friends."
I nodded my head. I then looked at the sun. It was just about to disappear beneath the horizon.
That was what I wanted.
Right before it disappears, colors that are full of life invade the sky. That's the only time of day when that beautiful ray of colors comes, and I wanted to talk to Alice during this time.
I would wait a few more minutes though.
Alice, boldly, took my hand. I smiled at our intertwined hands, and then I gazed back up at the sky.
We kept walking on the sidewalk, holding hands as we went. The silence was comforting, but at the same time, nerve wracking. I needed to talk. I needed to tell her what had been on my mind since the day I'd met her. I needed to do it now.
I found a bench next to the pond. I silently pulled her there, making sure not to frighten her in any way. This was too special of a moment. Or at least, it would be.
I sat her down on the bench. I then squeezed her hand reassuringly, reminding her that everything was okay.
"Alice, can I tell you and ask you some things?" I said, hesitating.
Alice seemed to sense my tension, because she quietly lifted her hand and rubbed it against my cheek. "You can tell me whatever you want Jasper."
I nodded. "Okay, so this is important. I wanted to tell you some things. About us."
Alice furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Okay."
I took a deep breath. "Alice, since the day I saw you, I couldn't stop thinking about you. Then, when I actually had the pleasure to meet you, I was thrilled. I always wanted to be with you and-,"
"Jasper! Alice! Come on! We have to leave!" Emmett shouted.
What perfect timing.
Alice though, didn't get up yet. She just looked at me.
"Jasper, you'll always be with me. You're a great friend."
"Okay." I said, nodding my head.
That wasn't exactly what I was implying though. I wanted to be more than a friend. Much more than that.
I had a feeling that Alice knew where I was getting at though, because when she looked at me, her eyes held understanding.
Maybe she did know how I felt about her. Maybe she just wasn't ready to speak up.
We walked to the car silently. When we got there, everyone was already inside, waiting for us. Alice and I quickly got inside the car.
"Next stop, the house of the ladies!" Emmett yelled.
Emmett started the car and we started to head back.
Alice kept yawning the first couple of minutes. She was tired.
Surprisingly, she rested her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. I kept staring at her, seeing if she was comfortable. When I heard her breathing become even and slow, I knew she was comfortable and asleep.
I loved Alice. I knew that already. Soon, I would tell her, and I only hoped that she would have the same feelings towards me that I had towards her.
I then looked out the window, gazing upon the sun that slowly set, until it had completely disappeared underneath the horizon.
Say awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Wasn't that sooooooo sweet? I just love Jasper and Alice. They're perfect for each other. :)
