Me: I finally got another chapter here. Sorry for the wait! I've been really busy lately. The NEW SIMPLE PLAN CD JUST CAME OUT AND PANIC! AT THE DISCO IS COMING OUT IN MARCH! YAY!!!! So, this is a chapter from my dearest Alice, but she made me type up the whole thing instead of just sending it to me... so it took a little bit longer.

Chapter 3:

One thing I learned in Texas was how much they love their nightlife. They make Seattle look like a funeral, and Forks would never even come close in dreams.

Carlisle and Esme opted out of touring Dallas, but decided to meet us at the Six Floor Museum around midnight. The est of us decided to walk through the city until we found something to do. We ended up inside of Reunion Tower, which was pretty amazing at night. We looked out over the city from every direction, but it moved so slowly that we began to leave. We were almost to the elevators when Edward froze.

"There's another level!" he explained, grinning.

He dashed over to a set of stairs that were barricaded by a velvet rope. He started to unhook it when a young waitress accosted us.

"Excuse me, sir, that area isn't in use just now If you'd like a table to dinner, I can seat you over----"she stopped short as Edward smiled at her. I saw Rosalie roll her eyes.

"We just wanted to get a better view of the city. It won't take long, but if you'll get in trouble for it, we can leave," Edward explained smoothly.

I could barely contain my laughter as the waitress nodded numbly.

"Of...of course not! Go ahead. If anyone asks, tell them I gave you permission," shuttered out, still watching Edward.

"'Yes, thank you, um...Mandy,"Edward smiled, starting up the stairs.

The waitress walked away with a flustered expression. Emmett shoved Edward in a brotherly way. "Poor Mandy. She never had a chance," he teased, laughing as Edward shoved him back.

When we reached the top of the stirs, I perched on the railing as the others fanned out. Jasper came to stand beside me. When I looked over at him, he was staring out into space, his face showed no emotion. Concerned, I set a hand on his arm.

"Jazz, are you okay?" I whispered, watching for his reaction. He flinched and I drew back. He looked confused for a moment, then turned toward me.

"What? Sorry, Alice. Did you say something?"

I pouted. "Yeah. I asked if you were all right. You seemed distracted. Aren't you having fun?"

He sighed. "Of course I am. Don't look at me that way," he said as I gave him a look of pity if he weren't enjoying himself.

"It's just...never mind. Let's go meet Carlisle and Esme," he started to walk away from me.

I was so focused on his mood, I didn't have time to prepare.

The vision came swiftly, and before I could move, I was falling backwards over the railing. I felt someone's arm wrap around my waist and jerk me back into the room.

Satisfied that I wasn't falling, I gave myself into the vision.

The pretty blonde girl was back now. She was actually in a location I recognized this time. She was at the museum we had toured earlier that day. She flashed the security guard a pass, and he stepped aside to let her go through.

She skipped past the Alamo exhibit and headed straight for the Civil War section. She paused by the case containing Jasper's silver cup. She gazed into the case with a strange expression on her pretty face, then moving on, she checked out the rest of the museum as we had.

The girl returned to the cup after she had finished. She looked frustrated, but her expression turned to one that was uncertain to me. I wasn't the one who could always examine emotions. She traced her slender fingers over the glass case, then dashed, faster than any human, out the door and into the night. I strained to see where she was heading----

"Alice? Allie?" Jasper's soft voice pulled me back into the present.

"Hmm? What?" I asked, looking up at him. He had me in his arms, and I realized he was the one who had caught me.

"Oh. Thanks. That was close," I said, sitting up beside him. Edward had wandered over to us. Emmet and Rosalie were close behind.

"What did you see?" Jasper questioned, and I thought for a second I heard urgency in his usually calm voice. I convinced myself that I'd imagined it.

"I saw the same girl from before," I answered slowly, "She was at the museum in Austin. She's definitely a vampire. Oh, and I think she has a good cover story, because the guard just waved her into the exhibit at 11:30 at night."

"23:30 hours," Jasper muttered under his breath.

"Oh, shut up," I said, rolling my eyes. I swear, he does that just to annoy me.

"Still no name?" Edward asked, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Still no name, I echoed as Jazz pulled me to my feet, "It's odd. Maybe it'll come to me later."

Emmett looked down at his watch, the one he almost never wears, and then back at us. 'Well, as much as I'd love to discuss this some more with you, we'd better get going. Elevators aren't that fast, and we still need to make it to the Six Floor Museum by midnight."

"Um...Emmett? Midnight is still an hour away," Edward state in confusion.

Emmett looked confused then took off the watch and put it back on the opposite way. "Oh, that's what that arm means!"

Rosalie flipped her long hair over her shoulder then started down the stairs anyway.

"Oh...umm...okay," Edward said to no one in particular. "Emmett, go ahead with her. We'll follow you in a minute."

Emmett and Rosalie descended the staircase, and turned to Edward in complete frustration.

"What are you talking about? What was he thinking,?" I asked impatiently.

"Rose was bored and wanted to leave. Emmett just wanted to take the elevator down alone with her," he replied, snickering as he started down the stairs.

I tugged on Jasper's sleeve, pulling him to my side as we followed Edward into the elevator. He put an arm over my shoulder and hugged me to him until we got off.

When we entered the lobby, Emmett and Rose were sitting way too quietly on a bench. I could tell, however, bu the smeared lipstick on Emmett's cheek and shirt collar that he'd gotten what he wanted. I smiled the elbowed Jazz so he would look as well. He grinned at me, and lead me over to them.

"Ready to go?" Emmett asked coolly, ignoring Edward's muffled laughter.

"Sure," Edward choked out. Rosalie glared at him, and he immediately stopped laughing.

Emmett put an arm around Rose's shoulder and lead her out of the building, at which point Edward couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Jasper snickered, ten began to laugh, even harder, affected by his emotions, and seeing them both happy made me start to laugh too.

When we finally stopped laughing, we headed out after Rose and Emmett. It didn't take long to find hem since Edward was with us. We then headed over to meet Esme a Carlisle at the Six Floor Museum. The museum itself was closed, but we stood out on the monument to JFK, he president who had been shot in Dallas. I still remember that day.

We hung out until ten the next day, when we went to the place I was really excited about.

The Fort Worth Stockyards.

Me: I went to the Stockyards with Alice a few weeks ago and we saw a silver cup like the one from my first chapter! It was wicked cool and she started laughing at me... :( for the rest of the day... :( :( :(
