Disclaimer: Twilight and its characters are not mine…I wish it was but it's not. I mean no harm; I am just playing in Stephenie Meyer's world.

I also want to thank my beta B. Andd. She makes sure that what I write makes sense and flows nicely. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you to everyone who is reading and reviewing. Every time I hear my phone alert me to a new email from the site, my heart swells. You have all truly humbled me.

I am not normally someone who likes multiple POV's in one chapter…that being said Alice wanted to be heard and who am I to ignore the little pixie. She kinda ran away with the chapter.

Now on to the Story…

Mini-Golf and First Kisses…

APOV

Once we got back to Bella's house we went upstairs to her room.

"Come on Bella we only have so much time to get you ready," I said, skipping over to her closet.

"Well I didn't think that I would need that much work," Bella said with a frown and joined me at the closet after turning on her iPod.

"Oh no, that is not what I meant. You are very beautiful; I just meant that it is a lot of work to find the perfect outfit." I rushed to reassure her, "I am sorry, sometimes my mouth gets away from me and I say things without thinking."

"Oh, ok," she said, "Well I was thinking that I would just wear these capris and my purple button up," she said, pulling out the shirt.

"Hmmm… I think that it could work… but what if you add a bit of sexiness to it with a black lace cami?" I asked digging one out.

Bella nodded and grabbed the cami, "I will be right back; I am just going to go change"

When she came back into her room, I had her sit down at her desk so that I could do her hair. "So Bella what were you thinking for your hair?" I asked, running my fingers through it and separated the curls gently.

"Well, since we are going to play mini golf I figure that it should be pulled away from face and I love the curls, so I would like to keep those." She giggled, "I feel like I am at the salon getting ready right now."

I started to laugh with her, "And is that such a bad thing? Every girl deserves to be pampered before a date."

"Nope nothing wrong with it at all. I just may get used to it," she said with a laugh.

I pulled up the front of Bella's hair and secured it with a sparkly barrette. I gently pulled apart the rest of her curls so that they bounced around her shoulders. "There I think that is it. Your makeup works, I would just use a little lip gloss and call it a day," I said moving out from behind her chair.

"Thank you Alice, you certainly made this easy. Trying to get dressed for the game was interesting. I was pulling everything out of my closet," she giggled.

"Not a problem. I love matching up outfits, just ask Jasper and he will tell you. Although he keeps telling me that I am not allowed in his closet anymore. He likes band t-shirts, hoodies, and baseball shirts," I said shaking my head sadly. "I keep trying to add more to his closet."

"Alice there is nothing wrong with band t-shirts, I have my own collection," she said, laughing. "I have actually 'taken' a few from my dad and Phil, my mom's new husband," she added, with the quote marks around taken and everything.

"Bella, Bella just what am I going to do with you and my brother. This just proves that you two really are meant to be together," I said, shaking my head.

Bella was shaking her head as she led me down stairs and into the living room. "Can I get you anything to drink, Alice?"

"Sure, whatever you have would be great, thank you," I replied sitting on the couch.

When Bella came back she had two Diet Cokes for us and a bowl of strawberries and blueberries. She set the bowl down on the coffee table and handed me my drink. She sat back on the couch with her feet tucked under her.

"Thank you Alice," she said softly.

"For what?" I asked her.

"Well for talking to me when I was new, for teaming up with me in gym, even though I know I hurt you, and for today," she said shyly looking up at me.

I didn't know what to say. All I did was be her friend and a decent person. "Bella, you don't owe me any thanks. I did nothing that you wouldn't have done for me. I would like for us to be friends and not just because of Jasper."

Bella smiled up at me, "I would like that. I never really had a lot of friends in Phoenix. Everyone always thought that I was a little weird there."

"That's ok; people here think that I am weird. We can be weird together," I said with a laugh.

The door bell rang and Bella got up to answer it. "Hello Jasper." I heard her say from the front door. I got up and headed to the front door.

"Hi Bella, you look like you came out of one of Alice's makeover's pretty well. Not everyone fairs quite so well." Jasper laughed as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and squeezed.

"Ha ha ha very funny, Jasper. Everyone ALWAYS looks better when I am done with them," I replied, stressing the word always. "Bella is a natural beauty, so she didn't need my help," I said squeezing my brother back around his waist.

"That she is," Jasper said softly looking at Bella.

By this point Bella was blushing and looking down at her feet. "Thank you, Jasper," she said softly, I coughed and glared at her, "Thank you, too, Alice," she said with a laugh.

There was another knock at the door, Bella turned and answered the door. Edward was standing on the door step. "Um… hello I am here to pick up Alice," he said stiffly.

"Come on in, Edward," Bella said stepping back to welcoming him in.

He slowly came in. "Alice, are you ready? I would like to get back home soon," he asked looking at me.

I nodded sadly, "Yea." I hugged Jasper and Bella, "Have a blast tonight you guys"

"Thank you for picking up Alice, Edward. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with her this afternoon." Bella said to him as he was stepping out of the door.

"Yea," was all he said.

"Sorry Bella," I said as I followed him out the door.

I watched Bella's face fall as Edward walked out the door. I wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "I am sorry about him, Bella," I said softly.

"It's ok, Jasper. I knew that he would need to warm up to me," she said wrapping her arm around my waist. She looked like she was going to say something else, but she stopped.

"But, knowing that doesn't stop it from hurting - does it?" I asked softly, leading her to the couch.

"No, not really, I have never done anything to him. I just don't understand why?" she asked softly.

"He never got over our parent's death. He blames himself because they were on their way to pick him up from a sleep over that he didn't want to stay at. A drunk driver ran through a red light and hit their car." Bella took my hand in hers and gently squeezed it, "Edward blamed himself from the start. He is no longer interested in anything that he used to be and he has withdrawn into himself. It can make it hard to live with him at times. I feel bad for Carlisle and Esme, they have tried to step up and be the parents that we have needed and Alice and I have accepted them. I know that I love them very much and I do consider them Mom and Dad, but Edward cant, he just can't let go of the past." When I finished she reached over and hugged me gently.

"Oh, Jasper, I am so sorry for your loss," she opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again. "Is there anything that I can do?" she finally asked.

"Darlin', there is nothing more that you need to do. Just being Alice's and mine my friend is the best thing right now. Just don't give up on Edward, he will come around, eventually," I said softly. At least I hope that he comes around I thought to myself.

She nodded and smiled up at me, "So you want to take me to play mini-golf?"

"Yup, that is the plan," I said with a smile. I stood up and offered her my hand to help her up. "What do you say we hit the road?"

She took my hand and pulled herself up, "Just let me grab a hoodie and we can hit the road," she said smiling.

Once she had grabbed her hoodie and purse we headed out to my truck. Remembering this morning I helped her into the cab. Once I got in we were heading out, to Port Angeles. Last year a Fun Park had been built and they had all sorts of fun things to do there: mini-golf, batting cages, and go karts. I thought that this would be a great place to take her; it would be fun and without a lot pressure. We got to Aro's Fun Town in about forty-five minutes. After I shut off the truck I jumped out and ran to her side to help her out.

"Thank you," she said with a blush.

"You're welcome. I would hate to see you get hurt already," I said, chuckling softly.

She chuckled with me, "Just be warned that this could be a dangerous thing." We started to head to the main office so that we could get our balls and clubs. "The last time I played mini-golf I shattered two of the venue's windows and I fell in the water trap."

I just stopped and looked at her, "You are kidding, right?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

"Nope, I was ten years old and my mom had taken me for my birthday. It was the last time that I went; I think that she was scared what would happen as I got older and stronger," she said laughing.

"Stronger?" I asked.

"I… ah… kind of let go of the club when I broke the windows," she said with a laugh.

I made a mental note not to stand in front of her when she was playing. We got up to the window where they had us pick out our clubs and balls. I picked the blue club and matching balls and Bella picked the purple set. We headed out to the first hole and I let Bella swing first. I stood behind her while she lined up her shot. Her first swing sent the ball bouncing off the far wall and rolled back up about half way. I must have been standing too close on her next swing because I caught the club in the shin.

"Oh My Gosh, Jasper! I am so sorry," she cried, turning to me.

I leaned down and rubbed my shin. "It's okay, Bella," I said straightening up.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yup, I am just going to go stand over there," I said pointing to the opposite side of where she was standing.

"Ha Ha, Jasper," she said lining up her next shot. The little purple ball rolled into the hole.

"Good job, Bella," I said, walking over to her.

"Thank you," she said and reached up to hug me.

I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her back, before stepping away and lining up my shot. The ball stopped just in front of the hole and I was easily able to knock it into the hole.

"Great job, Jasper," she said cheerfully.

"Thank you," I replied giving her a hug. "What do you say that we move on to the next hole?"

The rest of the game continued much the same; once one of us made the hole we would give each other a hug before moving on. My shin caught a few more clubs and my shoulder caught the ball once. When we arrived at the last hole (which was the longest hole on the West Coast) the sun was just starting to go down. Bella stepped up and lined up her shot. She looked gorgeous - I had to walk up to her.

When I got to her I slipped my arms around her waist. "Bella, can I kiss you?" I whispered.

She just nodded and tipped her face up to mine. I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. It was gentle and sweet. She stepped closer to me and slipped her fingers in my hair. I gently licked her bottom lip; she opened her lips to me and I slipped my tongue in. I was pulling her closer to me and slipping my hand under the back of her shirt when there was a cough behind us. We pulled apart, turned in the direction of the noise and saw there was a family of four behind us.

"Sorry," I said quickly to the family. I looked at Bella and she was blushing and looking at the ground. "Bella, why don't you take your shot, so we can get out of here?"

Bella nodded and then lined up her shot; she swung and made contact with the ball. We watched as it rolled down the green felt, and right into the hole.

"What just happened?" she asked.

"You got a hole in one, Bella; you got a hole in one," I said hugging her tightly. The family behind us coughed again and Bella giggled in my ear.

"Take your shot, Jasper," she said stepping away from me.

I lined up the shot and swung. The ball rolled down the green felt bounced off the wall and rolled over the hole. Bella and I walked down the hill so that I could try and get the ball in the hole. After ten swings, Bella sat down on the green and watched me. She was smiling up at me, while I tried so hard to get the ball in the hole. On the last swing the ball bounced off from Bella's foot and into the hole.

"Yay, you got in it," she cried, jumping up off the ground and hugging me.

"We should get out of here before that family gets us in trouble," I said, pulling her towards the office.

"Good idea," she replied.

After dropping everything off at the office we headed back to Forks. When we reached Bella's house I turned in my seat to look at her. "I had fun today Bella"

She turned and smiled at me, "I did, too, and I am sorry that I hit you with the club," she said with a giggle.

"So, can I call you tomorrow?" I asked.

"I would like that, Jasper."

I smiled and then jumped out the truck and walked over to her side to help her out. We walked up to the door holding hands. I leaned down and kissed her softly. She wrapped her arms tightly around me and deepened our kiss. I pulled back and smiled down at her.

"I will talk to you tomorrow, sweets," I said as I kissed her forehead and walked back to my truck. When I turned and looked at her she was leaning on her door, smiling. She waved at me before I pulled away with a smile on my face.
