Alice's POV
Everyone in my family was getting ready for another boring day of high school when I was pulled into a vision. I came out of it with a sigh called out to the rest of my family, "No school guys, it's going to be sunny today".
This received mixed reaction from my family. Emmet pumped his fist into the air while yelling something about playing video games all day, or maybe going on a hunting trip with Edward and Jasper. Jasper himself just looked relieved. He is the newest addition to our vegetarian lifestyle and school was a bit hard for him. Edward Who had seen the vision play out in my head was already inserting Guitar Hero into our Wii. I guess the hunting trip lost to video games, typical boys. Rose just acted like she didn't care either way.
I was actually excited for the rare appearance of the sun. I planned to go down to the meadow that I had found not too long ago and paint. I packed up my painting supplies and headed out towards the meadow. I made it there in no time at all thanks to my vampire speed, and perched myself upon a rock that sat in the middle of the meadow.
I pulled out my supplies and started to paint. After I had finished one painting I set it off to the side to dry and moved onto the next one. I was almost done with this one when I had a vision of Jasper coming to the meadow, according to my vision he would be here in exactly 20 seconds.
True to my vision Jasper appeared at the edge of the clearing and walked and a slightly faster than human pace to my side. We didn't say anything for a while, I just continued to paint while Jasper picked up the painting I had just finished and look at it.
"She's pretty." Was the first thing he said while still looking at the painting? It was a painting of a girl. She had long Brown hair the color of melted chocolate. Her eyes were so deep and expressive that you could drown in them, and her face was the face of an angle. She had a flower pinned in her hair and she was smiling, her eyes shone with love and adoration.
"Her names Bella" I say softly as I finish up the last parts of the painting I was working on.
"You love her." He said. It wasn't a question he could feel the emotions that radiated off me. I didn't say anything for a few moments. I just sat there thinking about her, and looking at the painting I just finished. It was another painting of Bella. This time though she was dancing in the meadow.
After a little while I whispered, "yea" while smiling softly. It's not that I didn't know that I loved her; it's just that I had never actually said it out loud. It actually felt really good.
"She's going to move here. She will be here by the time school starts up again from break." I said while looking up at Jasper. I was a little nervous because the feelings I was having for her were extremely strong and I was not sure how she would fee. While my visions always told me that she would return my love, I try to remember that my visions are subjective and not put too much weight on them.
Jasper sensing my nervousness sent me calming waves and wrapped me in a hug, which I gladly returned. We just sat there for a while, not talking. We didn't need to though. That's what I liked about Jasper. I could just sit there and sort through my feelings or thoughts without him butting in, or feeling the need to talk. He was perfectly content to just sit there and hold me, like any good big brother would.
"Come on sis; let's go back to the house." Jasper said while starting to gather up my supplies. I grabbed my two new masterpieces while Jasper carried everything else. While we were running back I decided to talk to Carlisle, about my visions and about Bella.
Once we arrived home we dropped everything off in my painting room and I headed to Carlisle's office. I was slightly nervous because I don't know how Carlisle is going to feel when I tell him that I am in love with another girl. I know he loves me and I know that he will think that it's wonderful I have found my mate, no matter if it is a girl or not; but there is still that little seed of doubt that will not go away until I actually tell him.
I stopped outside of his door and knocked, more out of manners hat necessity; he would have already heard me coming down the hall. "Come in." He said. I opened the door and walked in shutting it softly behind me. "What can I do for you today Alice?" He asked while looking up from the papers on his desk.
"I wanted to talk to you." I said while taking a seat in one of the chairs in front of his desk. He didn't say anything but simply waited patiently for me to continue. "I wanted to talk to you about some visions I have been having lately."
"OK, are they troubling?" His face was full of concern. "No, they are the exact opposite actually." I say while looking down at my hands that were settled in my lap. "They are about a girl, a human girl." I say, still looking down. "What about the human girl. I assume since you said they weren't troubling that she is not in danger." He said.
"No, Bella is not in danger. Not the moral kind at least, though she is a bit of a klutz." I say while chuckling to myself at the memory of a particularly funny vision I had of her; one where she tripped over a tree root, and then proceeded to yell at the tree for tripping her.
"Ok, then what do you want to talk about?" he asked while standing up to walk around his desk towards me. "Well, I…I'm in love with her" I mumble so quietly that even a vampire would have to strain to hear it.
"Oh! That's wonderful Alice" Carlisle exclaimed while kneeling down in front of me. "So you don't hate me for falling in love with another girl." I said while looking at him. "No Alice, of course not; I could never hate you for that. I think it's wonderful that you have found you're mate, and I'm sure Esme will be just as excited, as will the rest of the family. The only one you should worry about would be Rosalie, and I don't think she would mind that it is a girl, just that she is human."
"Thanks Carlisle." I said while jumping up to hug him. "Anytime Alice", he said with a slight chuckle. I knew that the whole family would have heard my and Carlisle's conversation, and quite honestly I didn't care. It sort of made it easier, this way I didn't have to go through that conversation 5 more times.
As soon as I opened the door to Carlisle's office I was pulled into a hug by Esme. "That's wonderful Alice. I'm so happy for you, and I can't wait to meet Bella." She said while still hugging me.
"Thanks Esme and I can't wait for you to meet her. You'll love her. I just know it." I said while dancing off down the hall towards my art room.
Bella's POV
I awoke to the Arizona sun filtering into my room. After laying there for a few minutes just listening to the sounds of nature and enjoying the peace and calm that comes with waking up in the morning I decided to get out of bed and get dressed. I had a lot to do today before I boarded my plane to Forks.
After I took my shower and completed my morning ritual of brushing my teeth and hair I got dressed in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, one of the few outfits I have yet to pack. I walked, well more like tripped down the stairs and into the kitchen. I fixed myself a bowl of cereal and sat at the table to eat it. One I was finished I put the bowl in the sink and grabbed my car keys from off the kitchen table. After watering the plants in the kitchen and writing a note for Renea that I went to Grams and would be back in a bit I headed out to my car and drove over to Grams plant nursery.
Once I arrived I parked my truck and walked around to the back of the nursery. I found Grams kneeling over a row of pots transplanting flowers that had grow too big for their previous homes into bigger pots. "Hey Grams" I said while kneeling down to help her. "Hello dear" she said while standing up and dusting herself off. "Could you do me a favor and finish these last few. Then when you're done why don't you come on inside, I have a surprise for you."
"Sure Grams. " I said as she turned around and headed back towards the greenhouse. It only took me about ten more minutes to transplant the last few. It was relaxing and it helped me to calm down a little bit; I had been feeling a bit on edge this morning knowing that I was going to have to fly.
Once I was done I dusted myself off and headed towards the greenhouse. I walked in and found grams holding a bag. "Who is that for Grams?" I asked while walking over to where she was standing.
"It's for you dear; it's your surprise, or going away present if you will." She said while handing me the bag. I went to open it up and see what was inside of it only to have my hands smacked away by Grams. "No peaking," she said, "You're not to open that up until you get to Charlie's."
"Thank you," I said while hugging her and then added with a chuckle, "even if I don't know what it is."
"You're welcome" she said while returning the hug. After we pulled apart I looked at her and said, "I'm really going to miss you Grams."
"And I'll miss you child, "she said while hugging me again. "Now get a move on" She said while pushing me towards the greenhouse door.
"Geez, eager to get rid of me aren't you." I said in a patronizing tone. "No, but I do know that you have a lot of things to do today before you leave, and you won't leave this place unless I make you." She said while walking me towards the front.
As much as I hate to admit it she's right. I spent many a summer days here, I often forgot to go home for dinner and Renea would have to call me and tell me to come home.
After I got in my car and waved goodbye for the last time to Grams I pulled out of the parking lot and headed for my house. Once I parked my car in our driveway I jumped out and ran upstairs, only tripping once. I finished packing what little bits of my belongings had not been shipped to Charlie's already into a suitcase. After I was done I walked over to my Pixies.
"Hey guys "said while grabbing a flower pot and putting it on the desk beside my window. "Helooo Bella!" They all chimed. "You guys ready to move?" I asked while picking some of them up and moving them into the pot. "Yes's and Yea's" were chorused from my little pixies. By now I had moved all of them apart from Mary, as I went to pick her up she asked me, "Are you still nervous?"
"Nah, Mary, not anymore." I reply while gingerly placing her into the pot with the rest of the flowers. "That's good." She chimes contentedly, letting me know that she is comfortable in her temporary home. I carry my suitcase down stairs and then walk back up to retrieve my pixies. I carried them down and set them on the table beside the front door. After that Renea walked in from the kitchen, "ready to go Bells?" she ask. "Sure just give me a min to say goodbye to Saroyan" I said while walking towards the backdoor.
"Ok honey, be quick though, I'll load this up and wait for you in the car." She said while picking up my suitcase.
I headed out back and plopped down against Saroyan. "Time to go already child?" she asked. "yea," I said with a sigh. "I'm going to miss you Sar." After a moment I stood up and turned to face her. I put my arms around her trunk as far as they would go and gave her a hug, which she returned by shaking her branches and raining leaves down upon me. After a moment I released her trunk and twirled around in the shower of leaves. "You best get going child, you don't want to keep your mother waiting." She said after the leaves had quit falling. "Bye" I said while heading towards the front of the house.
Once I jumped in the truck my mom pulled out of the driveway and headed toward the airport.
