Alex stopped looking the alarm clock next to the bed and groaned. She had woken up over an hour ago and hadn't been able to go back to sleep. Groaning she rolled over and buried her head in the pillows. Her muscles were tight and she couldn't relax. Finally giving up she rolled onto her back and growled at the ceiling. Sitting up she scooted to the edge of the bed and swung her legs over the side. Resting her hands on her knees she took a few seconds to breathe and shook her head to clear away the strong desire to get back in bed.

Stretching she wandered over to her bathroom and splashed her face with some water. Debating whether to take a shower she was distracted by her stomach rumbling.

'Wonder where I can find some food in this place' she sighed and made her way out of the guest suite and into the hall. Taking the stairs two at a time she quickly made her way down to the bottom. Forgoing the lights, the moonlight through the large windows was bright enough for her to adequately see what she was doing; she made her way through the house. Wandering through the living room she managed to find the Cullen's large open kitchen and went about looking for 'munchies'.

Deciding to start with the most obvious place she opened the fridge and started rifling through the shelves trying to find something easy to make. Apparently the Cullen's either enjoyed cooking or had stocked up for their arrival because the fridge was well stocked. Alex decided to make a sandwich and starting piling her ingredients on the kitchen island behind her. Taking out whole wheat bread, peanut butter, and maple syrup she shut the fridge door only to practically jump out of her skin.

Standing right next to the fridge, previously hidden by open door, was Jasper Cullen in all his silent vampire glory.

"Oh God. Don't do that" Alex was trying to recover and mentally congratulated herself on not screaming. She had always been a bit jumpy, but having two siblings will do that to a person. "Seriously, that's borderline creeper." Jasper continued to stare at her, his expression unreadable. "Okay.....you've crossed the border. Now you're officially a creeper." She busied herself going through the cupboards.

"Do you know if you have Cheerios?" She asked him over her shoulder while busy pawing through a shelf of boxes of spagetti. Quicker than the wind Jasper had pulled out two boxes and held them out for her to see. He still refused to say anything so she kept on talking.

"Plain Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios.....definately the Honey Nut. Okay can you put four pieces of bread in the toaster? I'm going to pour us something to drink."

Opening the fridge again she pulled out the milk and grabbed two cups out of the glass cabinets. Jasper had acquiesced to her request and she was pleased to see a small red light on the toaster indicating that it was on. Handing one of the full glasses to Jasper she pulled out one of the bar stools around the island and sat down.

"Are you going to say anything or just keep being Creepy McCreepery?" They continued to sit in silence until the toaster beeped, indicating the toast was in fact done. Alex got up and grabbing two plates she started spreading peanut butter on the slices of toast. She then put a layer of cheerios on top and finished by glazing her creations in maple syrup. Placing two slices on each plate she walked back to the island and placed one plate in front of Jasper then sat down and began tucking into her own.

"....what is this?" Alex glanced at Jasper, slightly surprised he'd started talking.

"We call it Alex's Cheery Nutter Toast. Oddly enough it never really caught on at the shop"

"The shop?" Apparently her creation had broken Jasper's self imposed silence and she gladly jumped into the conversation.

"My parent's own a sub shop. Yknow? Sandwiches?" She continued to munch away at her modified toast until she realized that Jasper hadn't touched his plate.

"Look I know it's not gourmet, but it's tasty and its one of the few guilty pleasures, so give it a try."

Jasper just looked at her quizzically. "...guilty pleasures?" Alex sighed and turned to him.

"Drugs, Sex, and Rock and Roll are a bit old school but the thought still stands yknow? Food is like a well thought out battle strategy, it just makes life worth it in the end" Alex went back to her toast while Jasper raised an eyebrow at the mention of battle strategies in relation to food.

Two hours later found Alex and Jasper crowded around an enchanted game of RISK. While she had never been an academic, Alex had always had a covert interest in warfare and strategy. It had appealed to her prankster sensibilities and she had a well worn copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in the bottom of her suitcase. She had found many of the lessons to be applicable to her ongoing prank war with her brothers as well as at school and thus had spent more time than she would ever admit to reading it. Jasper, having served in armies both human and vampire, had shared her interest and they had ended up challenging each other to the current game of RISK. Alex had been surprised to find that once she got Jasper talking, he was quite amiable and fun to be around.

"MORS DE CONTACTUS!!" Alex's mini RISK figures yelled as they went into battle with Spanish forces trying to invade them from the north. Jasper gave her a look.

"Hey, its a military slogan! Death on Contact!" Jasper continued his mild glare. "Oh and you can come up with something better?" Alex huffed a bit while her pawns massacred the Spanish. Jasper quickly picked up on her petulant vibes and tried to assuage her.

"I didn't say it was bad, it just seems to be a little ...'hardcore' as you might say" He gave her a crooked smile sending his Russian troops up into Denmark. While they both knew they would eventually have their troops fighting each other they had been skirting the eventual skirmish by taking out all the other countries first.

"Well love is a battlefield and all that." Alex's hands formed into the universal symbol for 'ROCK ON' and she bared her teeth.

Half an hour later they were still avoiding full on warfare with each other and had taken a break. Alex was throwing and catching peanuts in her mouth, while Jasper lazed on the couch.

"So what's your 'power' anyway? Do all vampires have them?"

"I'm not sure. I think it's possible, I mean we're all unique snowflakes right?"

Alex started laughing and nearly choked on a peanut.

"Sure we are. And Orange is the new Black." Jasper raised his eyebrows but didn't comment.

"I'm an empath. I can feel emotions" Jasper smirked suddenly. "I can feeeel you from here!"

"Ewww thats so creepy!" She threw a peanut at him and he wiggled his fingers at her, trying to mimic some kind of pervert. "So what can you do with your powers?"

"Well other than simply reading other people's emotions I can influence them....Would you like a demonstration?"

"Sure"

Jasper reached out with his powers and feeling around Alex's emotion's he was once again aware that she somehow knew what he was doing. He was again being pushed out.

"Can you stop that for a second" He told her, trying to get past the barrier.

"Stop what?" She looked confused.

"You're brain keeps pushing me out when I try to dig deeper into your emotions. I've never encountered that before. Can you stop it?" Alex stopped moving completely and a look of concentration fell over her face. Jasper felt the barrier's energy shift a little and she looked at him.

"Is that it?" Her face was still screwed up. The barrier wavered.

"Yeah that's it. So you didn't do that consciously??"

"Yeah no...Maybe its wizard magic or something" Alex shrugged and scrunched up her face some more. Jasper suddenly felt the emotional barrier drop. "Woah that feels weird." Alex shivered.

Jasper probed into her emotions and was hit with an onslaught he wasn't quite ready for. He had to physically catch himself before he fell off the couch. Alex saw this and started laughing. Jasper felt a little overloaded, hearing her laughter, seeing her laugh, and feeling the emotion rolling off her in waves, he couldn't help but join in.

Ten minutes later they were still laughing and Alex's sides were burning.

"Stooopp it, you have to make it stop" she said between giggles. Jasper was trying to get control of their emotions but every time he tried he got distracted. Apparently they had been loud enough to wake other members of the household because a groggy looking Rosalie walked into the room.

"What the hell is wrong with you people?" She rubbed her eyes and pulled her fuzzy bathrobe closer around her permanently cold body. Jasper and Alex looked at her, their laughter getting louder. Jasper reached out and tugged Rosalie down onto the couch sending her sprawling in between the two laughing maniacs. Rosalie squawked in protest righting herself and sitting between them glaring. Maybe it was his jovial mood but Jasper decided to reach out to his 'twin', sending her the edge of their uncontrollable laughter. Rosalie began to wince. Her face attempting to smile while her mind was actively fighting it. The look on her face made Alex laugh even harder, clutching her sides in pain.

Although it was amusing to see Rosalie in such a fix, Jasper was exhausted and looking at Alex he choked out, "Alex....the ...barrier" He was still laughing his ass off but he hoped she was in the right mind to fix things. Alex, for her part, was brought out of hysteria and, twitching what felt like a muscle in her mind, her mental barrier resurrected itself.

Almost instantly they stopped laughing and slowly lapsed into silence. Staring at each other giggling every so often, Rosalie looked between them trying to understand what the hell was going on.

"Well that was weird" Alex broke the silence first. Jasper cracked a smile and agreed.

"WHAT was that?" Rosalie demanded an explanation so Jasper gave her a quick rundown. After he finished they lapsed back into silence.

"I think a better question was WHY was that..." Alex finally said. No one could answer.
