"Thanks Jas, I can take her from here." Rosalie issued as she closed the closet doors in my face.

I laughed and turned to the rest of my closet to find something to wear for the night. Towards the back I had my civil war uniform preserved in a glass case. Next to it was a World War II reenactment uniform Alice had gotten for me in the 70s. She had gotten it in the hopes that we would make it to a U.S.O. dance, but I could never muster the courage or restraint. That would change tonight.

I removed the uniform from the glass case and laid it out. I decided I still had time before I should dress. I walked downstairs and found Emmett in the family game room. He was playing call of duty, no surprise in that.

"Can I join brother?"

He turned in his seat with a huge smile on his face.

"Dude, of course." He threw the spare controller at me and pulled up a second gaming chair. "I don't think I'm getting laid anytime soon now am I?"

I huffed with a smirk. "Rose seems better."

"Yeah, Carlisle had a long talk with her earlier. I think the gist of it was about how Alice isn't really human anyway, and that you have yet to make Alice choose anything. Alice's always been the ring leader with you too." Emmett snickered.

"I suppose there's no point in arguing that now is there?"

Edward entered the room and sat on the couch adjacent from us.

"Want a controller bro?" Emmett offered.

Edward shook his head, "No thank you Emmett. How are you holding up Jasper?"

"I'm okay…It's odd how okay I am. I'm trying not to get too comfortable and to stay alert, but it's getting easier somehow."

"And class was interesting today?" Edward inquired.

I slumped a little into my seat. "Yeah, that went a little…"

Edward snorted. "I thought it was humorous. And intriguing in the fact of how you maintained your composure. She was challenging you, and you were playful instead of…preserved."

"Jasper? Playful? Since when?" Emmett jested.

"I know that's not something that can take place, not until we know more about her being. It's just nice to know that it's still her and I can still have that effect on her."

"You're hot and all, but I hope you realize using your power has nothing to do with her finding you fuckable." Emmett stifled his laughs.

I shook my head with a smile. "It'll be nice to take her to the dance tonight…She's been waiting for about five decades for it."

"You are doing incredibly Jasper. You need to give yourself the credit you deserve." Edward heartened.

It continued like that until it was time for me to get dressed. I heard Alice shifting around and the sound of fabric rustling, so I ran to my room to do the same. I finished shining the shoes as I heard her fastening the buckle on hers. I made my way to the bottom of the staircase as Rosalie guided Alice to the top of them.

I looked up at her breathlessly. Her curls were uniquely vintage and fell perfectly at her shoulders. The dress dipped, exposing her beautiful collarbones and a bare neck. Her t-strap nude heels stepped silently as she tip-toed gracefully down the stairs. She curtsied in front of me and offered me her hand.

"You are a breathtaking sight Major." She whispered in my ear playing with my insignia and other decorations on my uniform.

"I thought you weren't a history major." I joked.

"I have a refined appreciation for a man in uniform."

Edward walked to my side and handed me something. I looked in my palm before smiling and issuing a mental Thank you.

"Alice Darlin', your neck is looking a little bare."

She gasped and grasped at her throat. "Oh no, Rose!"

"I thought perhaps you would like your crest to wear." I produced the three chained necklace in front of her.

"Oh Jasper…It's so beautiful. It's just like yours…" She took the thing in her delicate hands, "Wait. I've seen this necklace before in a vision."

"It was yours, I only thought you'd want it back." I half smiled at her.

She handed the necklace back to me and turned around raising her hair off of her neck. "Thank you." She turned back around and hugged be tightly.

Esme came towards us and hugged Alice first and then me. "You both look amazing. May I take your picture?" she asked gently holding the camera in her hands insinuating she wouldn't take no for an answer."

I brought Alice to my chest and looked down at her as she smiled brilliantly at Esme. She looked and felt so happy and excited. I only hoped it could stay that way for eternity.

Carlisle took his spot next to Esme, "Son, I have a surprise for Alice and you out front if you wouldn't mind."

I was just a bit caught off guard at this, but rather excited myself. I was never one for surprises, but Alice had me in an outstanding mood.

When we reached the front door Carlisle handed me a vintage looking key. "I'm afraid she was a year late to assist the Allies, but she's still a beauty." He kidded.

Alice and I stepped outside only to be greeted by a 1946 Triumph 1800 Roadster in the brilliant original Lumina Green color.

Alice squealed and darted to the car. "Carlisle! This is incredible, thank you!" she exclaimed as she ran to hug him.

I could see now in his face as he embraced the small woman, just how much she meant to him. To all of them.
