A/N: So it's Monday again and I'm back as promised ;) This one isn't based on a song, it's just a bit of fluff :) Enjoy...

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Alice and Jasper play xbox...


28. Games

"Can I play?" Alice asked when Emmett and Jasper grabbed xbox controllers one rainy Saturday afternoon.

"You're a girl." Emmett told her, sticking his tongue out.

Alice pouted and looked at Jasper, "Please, Jazzy?"

"You won't like the game, Darlin'." Jasper told her.

"I will!" Alice insisted, "Pleeeeeeease let me play! Pretty please!"

She battered her eyelashes at him until he gave in. Emmett huffed and left them to it, saying he didn't want to play such a manly game with a girl.

Alice jumped over the back of the couch, and landed delicately next to Jasper with a giggle. He handed her a remote controller.

"No cheating." Jasper said firmly as he pressed the start button.

"No cheating." Alice agreed, rolling her eyes and blocking out her foresight.

The game started, and they found themselves in an abandoned warehouse. Alice made her character walk around a bit, getting used to the controls, and complained about the state of the outfit the girl was wearing. Alice quickly learned how to walk, run, jump, and shoot...with a little help from Jasper. It was easy, she decided. She could beat Jasper no problem! She wouldn't even need to cheat!

She explored the warehouse, jumping up onto crates and breaking down doors to access new areas. She even picked up a few bonuses on the way. This was easy! This was fun, too! Why didn't they play this more often? Jasper had been so wrong when he'd said she wouldn't like it. What wasn't to like? Well...apart from the fashion, maybe.

She made her character turn, and there was a (rather lifelike) zombie right behind her about to eat her face. Alice shrieked and threw the controller away from her, jumping on top of Jasper, who was attempting to hold back his hysterical laughter.

She buried her face in his chest, "Is it gone?!"

"Well, it's eaten you and moved on to someone else." Jasper said between laughing. Alice squealed again and grabbed onto him, "Told you that you wouldn't like it."

"You could have warned me!" Alice accused, peeking out from her hiding place.

"But where would be the fun in that?" Jasper asked with a smirk, earning a playful smack from Alice.

"You're mean, Jasper Hale." She told him, frowning.

"You love me really." Jasper told her. Alice began making a sound in disagreement, but he caught her lips in his own, and she was totally lost under his influence. How could she do anything but agree with him now?

"If there was a real zombie apocalypse, you'd save me, wouldn't you?" Alice asked, looking up at Jasper with more seriousness than the question really allowed.

"Of course I would." Jasper told her solemnly, "But what if you're the zombie?"

"I'd bite you, and then we could live forever as zombie husband and wife." She told him, thinking the idea through.

"Well, I don't know about you, but I think I'd rather just be one supernatural creature in my life time." Jasper said, "Besides, vampires could beat zombies any day. Well...maybe you couldn't." He gestured to the TV screen, where GAME OVER flashed in red letters. Alice frowned, "But I'd fight them all off for you. No damn zombie is getting a hold of my wife."

Alice giggled, "Good to know." She looked at the TV, "Can we play a different game? One with less, uh, zombies?"

"Take your pick." Jasper said. He knew full well that she was going to choose between New York Fashion Designer and Petville Palace 3: Unicorn Kingdom. He didn't mind. She was snuggled right up against him, unwilling to move since she'd jumped on top of him, and he'd be willing to play even the girliest of games if it meant spending time with a happy Alice.

She picked Petville Palace 3.
