A/N: Hey, big shout out to my buddy Captain Tash for being my Beta!

Oh, and that last chapter's working title was "Café a la Annoyed" . . . glad I changed it? Ha ha, this is the first chapter I have with two different points of view, this might be interesting.

Disclaimer: Never owned Twilight, never will. Let's get 'er done! (Oh, wait, weird)

Chapter 8: Topaz

"No, I would never bet against you, Alice. I pity the person who would dare to do so," Jasper sighed. He hiccupped. "Aww, I didn't know vampires could hiccup!" He laughed and shoved me playfully. I laughed and punched his arm. Then we started slapping hands like little girls. I rolled over on my side, laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe.

Once I calmed down, Jasper said, "I wish I could tickle you, then I could make you laugh even more!"

"Oh, let's just go, we shouldn't stay any longer. You know . . ." I looked at him meaningfully. He growled to himself. "Yeah, I know."

I got up and held out my hand to him. He took it and pulled himself up. "Alice, I'm sorry. The way I overreacted after you helped me and – well, I'm just sorry." I patted him on the back. "I forgive you. You were under a lot of stress. It's okay." I comforted him the best that I could.

Jasper POV

We weaved through the trees at a human pace. I didn't want to go fast. I wanted to just take my time and enjoy the walk. But then Alice stopped in front of a tree. I tried to pull her around it, but she didn't budge. Her jaw was slack and her eyes just looked forward blankly. I got a little freaked out for a minute, but then I thought bac to the café. Right before she told me to get out of there, she had this same look on her face.

She was just having a vision, and all I have to do is wait it out. Within seconds, she regained consciousness. She turned to me and said, "I just saw these people . . . they were like us."

"You mean vampire, right?" She nodded in response. "Yeah, but they were different. They had golden eyes – almost like topaz. I saw them hunting, they didn't hunt humans, though." Okay, now I was confused. "What do they hunt if they can't hunt humans?"

"Animals, they hunt animals. I think that's why their eyes are so strange. They're in the east, that's what I know. I think we should find them." I laughed at her. "Why should we do that?" She turned to glare at me. "It just feels right," she said with determination. "Now, are you coming with me, or are you just going to schlep around all by your lonesome?"



"Well, uh I guess . . . I guess I'll have to get back to you on that. For now, let's just walk towards the east, since you're going there anyway."

Alice POV

I can't believe he might not come with me! Well, I guess I really shouldn't push him to do anything he doesn't want to do, but I will anyway!

Really, all I want to do is see what they're doing hunting animals. Isn't that pretty much harmless? I sure think so. I'll just have to try and convince him that that's what I'm up to. I don't think it will be too hard. And plus, I want to see what I look like with topaz eyes.

"What does your hair look like under that hat? You don't have to show me, I just want to know what color it is, whether it's curly or strait – you know, like that," Jasper asked politely. "It's black and – Oh, I'll just take off the stupid hat." I showed him what my hair looks like and he started to laugh.

"I demand to know what's so funny!" I shrieked. I stomped on his foot, but it didn't faze him. "I'm sorry, but I just think that it's so cute! It looks like you, it really does!"

"That doesn't explain why you're laughing," I grumbled. He stopped laughing, but he was still smiling. "I just think it's funny that you think that you need to cover it."

"You sap," I said, ruffling his hair. "Come on, we need to get moving. Give me my hat back." He shook his head, still smiling. I growled. "You don't need it, so I'll just have to do this." He tore the hat into shreds. "You jerk! You owe me a shopping trip!" He put his hands up in surrender. "Okay, it's a date."

A/N: I've noticed that ever since Jasper showed up, the story isn't so dark!

Ha ha, and so the shopping obsession begins!
