Alice
I waited around the glass wall upstairs hoping to see Tyler and Tori emerge. They had been out since 8 last night and it was now almost 8 in the morning. Did they not realize that I was in need of going shopping with Tori and Sarah? We needed new things for Fiji and we left tomorrow. Carlisle and Esme were definitely happy that we would be gone but Jasper told me that they were a bit sad too. I don't see why, they would be all alone in the house and could do whatever they wanted. Lucky... Oh finally! Tori raced up to the stairs followed by Tyler and I knew they were having another one of their races. Tyler always lost to Tori because she still had newborn strength. Tori looked up towards me and when she saw the look on my face she knew she was going to have to face another Alice shopping spree. She backed up toward Tyler, whispered something in his ear making him laugh and then he looked up to me with a look that said 'don't go too overboard'. I ran down the stairs and out the door to stand across from them just outside the house.
"Took you long enough, what could you be doing for twelve hours anyway? If I were Esme I would be more concerned about you two being gone for almost twelve hours not letting you go to Fiji. Anyways, Tori we need to go shopping like soon. Or in other words, now. I'll go get Sarah, meet me at the Porsche, ok?" At news of the Porsche she perked up and I knew the only way of getting her to come shopping was to let her drive. "And if you must than yes you can drive."
Tori and Tyler then walked towards the garage hand in hand. I always knew they were perfect for each other. Right after I saw Tori fall off the cliff I had another vision and it was Tori and Tyler almost fifty years later and they looked perfectly happy together. I never did see them getting married though but I don't think I want to; I want it to be a surprise. I reached the top of the stairs and followed Sarah's scent into her room and saw her, and Edward, sitting at her desk watching something on her computer. Apparently it was quite funny but I didn't have time to watch silly things, I had shopping to do!
"Sarah, we need to go shopping for Fiji and Tori just got back so we're going to be leaving in like two minutes." She turned around but I knew she wasn't really listening to me.
"Alright, I'll be down soon." She gave me a look as to say 'now go away, will ya?". If those two didn't just admit that they loved each other the rest of us will probably die. Not like we actually could but still. I walked down towards the garage but stopped in the kitchen where Esme was staring at a blue print.
"Hey mom, Tori, Sarah and I were going to go shopping. Do you want to come too?" She absently looked up but then shook her head to clear it.
"No thank you Alice, I'm alright." I started to walk out the door but Esme's voice stopped me in my tracks.
"Oh and Alice, remember that you are going to keep an eye on things between Tyler and Tori right?"
"Of course mom... you and Carlisle already talked to us about this, so what are you getting at here?"
"I'm saying that you don't need to buy certain things for certain people."
"Are you talking about what I think you're talking about?"
"I'm not sure, what do you think I'm talking about." She put a questioning look on and stared at me until I answered. I wasn't quite sure what she was talking about but then I clued in.
"Oh no way! Are you saying that we're not allowed to go to Victoria Secret? Even if I promise not to buy anything for anyone else?" Esme's look changed almost immediately and I knew that she knew I couldn't be trusted even if I promised. I gave her a sweet smile and hoped it worked on her.
"I'm not saying you're not allowed it's just that you are in no way allowed to buy anything for your sister. Do you hear me? I was already concerned about letting them go to Fiji together and I don't want to be sending the wrong message."
"Yeah, yeah I got it. Don't worry your 'little baby' is safe with me." She seemed pleased with my answer except she seemed a bit sceptical about the 'little baby' part. It was true though Tori technically is the baby of all of us. She's the youngest and even though she was changed before Sarah, only by a few seconds, she was nine minutes younger than her and there by dubbed to be the baby. I walked into the garage to see Tyler and Tori leaning against his BMW talking quietly to each other.
"Where's Sarah? I told her to be down here and now she's not." They both shrugged and Tori went inside to grab the Porsche keys. She came back out a second later with Sarah in tow who did not look happy that we were taking her away from precious Edward time. We got into the car, Tori driving, Sarah in the back and me in the passenger's seat.
"Now, that wasn't so hard was it?" We drove to the closest mall as I went over a list of things we would need.
"Ok, bathing suits, shorts, shirts, dresses, shoes, sun glasses, jewellery... I don't really know what else you guys would need."
"What do you mean what we would need? Do you need something else Alice?" Sarah asked from the back seat and I chuckled at the memory of the chat Esme and I had earlier.
"Well, I'll need some other things but I promised Esme that I would keep to my duty as chaperone and that's that." I was hoping that they wouldn't clue into it but of course, the smart ass twins that they are, they did.
"Oh, well yeah good idea." Tori focused her eyes on the road but I could tell that she seemed embarrassed.
"Well, we still have to go but I promised that I would only buy things for me and not for you, especially you Tori." Sarah sat quietly in the back trying to hold back a laugh. She knew that Esme didn't trust un-married couples, for example Tori and Tyler, to be on their own at night. Esme was very traditional in the way that we should wait until we were married to be fully 'intimate' with each other. Carlisle was the same way and because we all live with them that's how we think too.
"Oh, don't even start Miss YouCanTrustMe. Once you get with Edward, and yes I've seen it, they won't trust you anymore either. They didn't trust any of us before we were married and to tell you the truth Edward didn't trust them before they were married." This set us all into a fit of laughter and before I knew it we were parked and heading into the mall.
"Ok, where do you want to start first?"I already knew where we were headed but wanted to see where they wanted to go.
"Doesn't really matter to me, why don't we get what you need first and that way we won't need to worry about that later." Well played Sarah, get the most uncomfortable part done first, smart kid.
"Alright! Off we go!" I drew us a few stares from people but I didn't really care, I was scanning my visions to see what we would buy and where to find it. We walked into Victoria Secret, much to Sarah and Tori's dismay, and I immediately saw what I was looking for and walked over. Sarah and Tori stood off to the side talking to each other. Party poopers, Rosalie would have been all in helping me and maybe even Esme would have too. Ok, well maybe not Esme fully at first but at least she would look; all they did was stand there. I came across a vision of Tori in Fiji knocking on my door with some black clothing in one hand, ah ha! Well that seems like a good idea, I truly am devious. I snatched the black number off the rack and went to the change room to try some other things on. Once I was done, we paid and we were off to our next store. We spent the next few hours buying new outfits, bathing suits and shoes for Fiji. I made sure that I picked the perfect outfit for Tori to wear on the night Tyler proposed. After, oh I'd say seven or eight hours of shopping we made our way home. Sarah was stuck in the backseat again and was getting squashed by our many bags. Once we got back to the house we pulled out our suitcases and started carefully putting all of the things in. When we were finished I sent them away to make sure they didn't add anything I didn't see in. I then slipped what I secretly bought for Tori into her suitcase and zipped it closed. I called Jasper to carry them down because even though I could do it myself I was too exhausted to do it.
"Oh Jasper, could you come give me a hand?" He was standing at my side before I even finished calling him. He pulled me closer to him and whispered in my ear.
"Why hello there, what can I help you with ma'am?" He added a bit of his old southern drawl in and it sent shivers down my spine. I was getting distracted so I slipped myself out of his embrace and stood behind the suitcases.
"Could you carry these downstairs for us?" Being the good man he is, he carried them down without any protest. I went off in search of the others because we needed to do something for a few hours before we left for the airport. Tori and Emmett had preoccupied themselves with some video game in which by the look on Emmett's face, Tori was winning. Jasper and Esme were sitting on the couch and Tyler on the ground in the same room as Tori and Emmett, Rosalie was in her room painting her nails, again, Jason was outside on his phone, Edward was playing the piano and Sarah was listening to him from the doorway. Carlisle was at work but he promised he would be here before we left. I decided to go watch what Emmett and Tori because it looked like the most fun. I sat on the ground next to Tyler who was laughing at Emmett trying to beat Tori. Emmett finally got tired of losing and stormed off.
"Aww, Emmett don't be a sore loser! Wanna play something your good at?" Tori called after him as he continued to stomp up the stairs like he was two years old.
"Emmett, could you please stop walking so heavily up the stairs? I don't want to have to fix them!" Emmett knew Esme wasn't kidding and he started walking on his tip toes making the rest of us laugh.
"Ok, now what should we do?" No one looked sure of what to do and Tori and Tyler went upstairs to their room leaving Esme, Jasper and I sitting around.
"Oh, Alice how did the shopping go?" Esme was good at breaking up silence and I launched into the story of our day shopping. Jasper got bored about halfway through and left to go upstairs; Sarah came and filled in his spot.
"So did you get everything you wanted?"
"Yep, and no I didn't buy anything for Tori that I wasn't supposed to." Little did she know that I actually did and just wasn't telling her.
"Good, because sometimes you don't listen to me and just do it anyways." It was almost as if she could read my mind but I wouldn't let my expression give me away. Carlisle came home around two which left us with five hours until we left for the airport. It would be cloudy when we landed in Fiji which would be perfect for the drive to the villas. The guys decided to go hunting and once they got back, us girls would go. I had settled myself down with a fashion magazine to pass the time. The house seemed almost too quiet so I wandered upstairs to see what anyone else was doing. I looked in and saw Rosalie doing Tori's nails; Esme was reading a book so I went off to find Sarah who, as usual, was in her room looking at something on her computer. I went in and sat on her bed waiting for her to finish whatever she was doing. After a few minutes she turned around to look at me.
"Hey Alice, can I help you with something?"
"Do I need a reason to come talk to you?"
"Yeah, that's true... Well, are you excited for Fiji? Oh, and will you help me throw Edward into the water if he doesn't go in on his own?" She seemed too over excited about the last part but its young love and just adorable.
"Well obviously! I will most definitely help you; actually we should just have everyone help. Makes things much easier. And I am so happy for Tori and Tyler, they will finally be engaged!" I added the last part in with a whisper because I was still under orders not to tell Tori. "Which means I get to plan a wedding again!"
Hmm, that reminds me I should go out and buy wedding magazines and start looking for the dress, venue, decorations, flowers... So much to do!
"Well, I'm sure it's going to go just fine. Tyler has been planning this for so long and if I know my twin, and I do, she will be really happy and surprised." We both smiled at each other knowingly just as I had a vision.
Sarah and Edward were walking beside each other, they came to an old tree stump and sit down. They started talking and every time they would get closer to one another. Edward puts his hand on top of Sarah's looks her in the eyes and says "I love you". Then he leans in and...
Aww, even though I've seen this vision before it is still really sweet. Sarah just stares at me hoping I will explain but I just shake my head as I am pulled into another vision.
Jason and Sarah are sitting on the beach at sunset. He slowly puts his arm around her shoulder and she turns her head to look at him. He leans in and captures her lips with his. She melts into his embrace and they stay like that for a few minutes.
Oh, no way in hell is that happening! Edward and Sarah are supposed to be together not Jason and Sarah! I hop off of her bed and without a goodbye storm out the door, down the stairs and out the front door. I wait there until the guys get back from hunting. They appear half an hour later, all of them laughing at some joke. But once they see me they all stop and freeze.
"Jason, can I talk to you for a second? And Carlisle can you tell Esme to get the other girls and we will go hunting?" Jasper, Edward, Emmett and Tyler all share a kinda relieved look before running inside and into cover. Carlisle casually ran in behind them. I lead Jason into the woods so that no one would hear us.
"I know what you're planning on doing in Fiji." He gives me a confused look but there is a hint of smugness behind it.
"Oh, and what would that be?"
"You're going to try to kiss Sarah! Do you not realize that Sarah and Edward are destined to be together! And also that if you do that Tori, who really doesn't like you all that much, will probably rip off you head! Tori would do anything for her twin and Sarah would do the same thing! Don't try anything! Because if you do... Well I'll just say that we'll be watching you." I left wearing an evil smile and jogged back to meet up with Esme, Tori, Rosalie and Sarah. Behind me I could hear Jason saying "Tori and Sarah are twins...?"
Once I got back to the house, we set out. We hunted for only two hours because by the time we got back we had to leave. The guys were waiting for us with Edward's Volvo and Tyler's BMW. Rosalie and Emmett said their goodbye's and then went upstairs to pack for their vacation. Esme gave us all a hug and a kiss on the cheek and whispered in my ear to "remember to keep an eye on Tyler and Tori". Carlisle gave all the girls a hug, Sarah's being a bit awkward (She isn't all that close with Esme and Carlisle the way the rest of us are, even Tori is really close with them) and gave the guys a pat on the back and for Jason a hand shake. Edward and Sarah went in the Volvo and the rest of us in the BMW. Once we got to the airport we checked in, found our gate and sat down to wait. We loaded onto the plane and found our seats, I was with Jasper, Tyler with Tori and Sarah was stuck in between Edward and Jason. Before the plane took off the twins shared a sad\solemn look and I heard Tori quietly explain to Tyler that the last time they had been on a plane they were going to London with their parents. The plane ride went off without a hitch and Jasper and I snuck off to the bathroom to get a little 'alone time'. Before we knew it the pilot told us to put our seatbelts back on and I looked out the window to catch a glimpse of Fiji. The start of a new life for Tori and Tyler and the end of an old, lonely life for Edward and Sarah.
