A/N: I just got back from Canton a few hours ago and, seeing how I have no life and don't like to study for huge biology tests, I have decided to write you guys some chap! I'm also listening to the Sweeney Todd OBC on SweeneyPod (my iPod) right now, so that helps, too. And the song right now happens to be "Johanna"! Yay for inspiration… not really. I hate inspirational movies, but that's another story.

DISCLAIMERS (are quite unnecessary): Don't own anything that is not mine.

Every chapter will now have a fun fact.

FUN FACT: I should be doing vocab words for Acts III and IV for 'Romeo & Juliet' right now. And drying my hair. But I'm not, so yeahz.


She was leaning out the window, looking at some birds in cages that were held up by a bird salesman. Her short black hair covered a small part of her face. She brushed it away.

"Good mornin', miss!" greeted the salesman.

"Hello, sir," smiled the girl, taking out two birds from a cage, "What are these birds called?"

"Why, I do believe that that one is a green finch, and t'other one is a linnet bird. Would you be interested in purchasing one?"

"Green finch, linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird, they're all the same. Like me, they are usually caged up when all they really want to do is be free and explore the world. No, I don't think I'll be buying one today." the girl said solemnly, putting the two birds back. She smiled at the bird seller again before he took the birds away with him.

"That was so incredibly cheesy," muttered Jasper from a distance.

"Hey, there, soldier boy!" it was the hobo woman again, "Ya got anymore money?

"What the hell?! I just gave you, like, two Confeder—I mean pounds—not even ten minutes ago! How can you spend that kind of money that fast?!" Jasper shouted.

The woman looked around, and looked at Jasper again. Seeing how she couldn't think of an answer and he was growing impatient, she rolled up her skirts again, and exclaimed more sexual innuendos. Jasper raised his hand to strike her, but then he remembered that beautiful girl at the window. He figured that one of the locals would know who she would be.

He placed his hands on the hobo's shoulders,

"Do you know who that girl is over there? In the window. No, you old coot, over there. That window! Yes, that one. What's her name?"

The hobo looked at him, "Aw, someone's in love!" (A/N: Robyn would like to take this opportunity to write this in all caps: ROMEO AND JULIET. ACT I. SCENE I. BENVOLIO. ROMEO. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ROSALINE. (Every time we read it in class, I kept saying "Rosalie" instead of "Rosaline" and all the kids in my class who read 'Twilight' thought I was cool! Anyway…))

"Yes, dammit. She's pretty. Now, what's her name?!" Jasper was growing impatient,

"Her name is Alice. She lives in Chief Swan's house. She's his ward. But I highly recommend not going in there, because he will mostly likely lock you up for life!" the hobo lady finally said seriously. Unfortunately for Jasper, this only lasted for a few minutes, for she began to lift her skirts up again and make more non-accidental Freudian slips. This time, however, Jasper ran away. He walked closer to the window that Alice was at.

"Alice…" he muttered.

She disappeared from the window, as if someone was calling for her from inside.

"I feel you, dear Alice. I thought for a while that I was dreaming. Happily, I was mistaken. Alice…" Jasper set down his luggage, "I'll steal you, dear Alice. Does he think that walls can hide you? Even now I'm at your window. I wish I was up there with you. Buried sweetly in your black hair…"

Alice appeared at the window. She noticed the darling Confederate soldier looking at her longingly. She, herself, thought that he was quite handsome and proceeded to go downstairs and outside to greet him.


Dr Carlisle Cullen and his faithful friend Esme were outside, too. Though they were quite a ways from where Jasper and Alice were. Carlisle was watching a salesboy presenting a new kind of medicine, invented by one Dr Perry Cox from America…
A/N: Yeah, well now I'm listening to "I'll Make a Man Out of You" because it is cool and it is the theme song of OHS Band Camp 2007. Anyway, I sincerely apologizing for using lyrics from the musical. I hate when people do it, and I try not to. But I really felt that I had to. Sorry. Expect Chapter 4 to come soon! And, also, I'm looking to see if anyone would be interested in being a co-author for my other fic, My Dr Acula. If you are, please message me and I'll send you the first half of the third chapter that I wrote. I'm only taking one co-author, and it'll most likely be first-come first-serve. Sorry for posting this here! I can't seem to do anything right! Sorry! GAH!
