I do not own the Twilight story or any of its characters.
I just like messing with Stephenie Meyer's characters!

Alice & Jasper
Alice POV
"Alice, if you don't get down here in the next five minutes, I am taking Bella out to dinner with me!" Jasper called up the stairs to me.
"Cool it, cowboy. I can't figure out what to wear. I hate it when you don't tell me where you are taking me." I called back through my barely open door as I held up two different black shirts up to the mirror. "Will you please give me a hint?"
I heard him growl to Bella. "Please, would you go up there? Just grab any shirt out of her closet and pull it over her head. That pixie is going to make us late for the reservation I made."
Bella laughed as she walked up the stairs to me. Once she came in my room, she said, "You have that guy wrapped around your finger. He has an amazing night plan for you. Get your ass dressed and go downstairs!"
"How did I know that you would be on his side?" I said rolling my eyes and putting the two black shirts back. I grabbed a light gray, comfy, and flowing shirt. "What do you think about this shirt?"
"I think that or any of the other million shirts in your closet will be perfect." She said rolling her eyes back at me before leaving my room. As she walked back down the stairs, she said, "She is almost dressed. She was having trouble deciding on a shirt."
Jasper grumbled.
Bella defended me by saying, "If you want her to move a little faster next time, give her a hint about the restaurant."
"Whatever."
I say her hugging him as I began walking down the stairs.
"Okay, she's here. Have fun, you two."
"Are you moving back in tonight?"
"Has your brother pulled his head out of his ass?" Bella said sarcastically as she started out the door.
Jasper leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Are you actually ready now, darlin'?"
I tapped my chin, pretending to think. "I think I may need… nothing, but that bag next to the coffee table."
He looked at the bag in surprise. "Are you sure you need a bag that big?"
"It has only the necessities." I said walking over and grabbing the creamy orange tote from the floor. "Plus, you never know what a girl might need."
He rolled his eyes and led me out to his car. Like the amazing southern gentleman that he is, he opened my door and helped me in. Before he closed the door, he said "You definitely surprise me, Pixie. I hope you will like my surprises that I have for you tonight."
After driving for almost an hour, Jasper finally pulled into a parking lot. "You hungry, pixie?"
"Of course, I am." I said looking out my side of the car. "There is one problem. I don't really like movie theater food for dinner."
"Well, that is good because we are eating in the other direction." He chuckled as he got out of the car and came to help me out. He walked me to the nice, cozy, and fun looking restaurant. I was a little concerned by the huge, metal silo at the back of the building.
"Welcome to Schooner's Grille and Brewery," a hostess, or maybe a waitress, chirped as she smiled widely.
Jasper chuckled and pulled her into a quick side hug. "Mary, I feel so bad that the owners make you say that all the time."
"Jasper, leave my waitresses alone. They are very happily employed and have fun working here."
"Sure we are, Daddy." Mary said with just a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
I just stood there confused while Jasper and Mary laughed at the older man.
Jasper seemed to remember that I was there. "Mary, Randall, this is my Alice. She is an amazing person, but she has no idea what is going on here."
"Well, let's get you two to your table and the show on the road." Randall said with a big belly laugh.
A few minutes after we sat down, glasses of iced tea and plates of food were set on front of us. I loved the look of the coconut crusted tilapia that was set in front me, but I think my mouth watered even more when I looked over at the beer bratwurst on Jasper's plate.
I guess he saw me looking because he leaned over and said, "I promise to give you a bit or two of my bratwurst. I do hope you like what I ordered you. I had to place them ahead because I have a limit on how much time I have to eat."
"It looks delicious, but why do you have a short time to eat?" I asked stealing the bite of brat that he had just cut.
"Pixie, for that you will just have to wait and find out."
We spent the next twenty minutes of good food and me begging to find out what was going on. Then, the owner Randall came back to our table with a guitar.
"Jasper, I hate to break up your date, but people are starting to ask when you are going on."
I started jumping up and down in my seat. I was very excited to hear Jasper sing something of his choosing. I knew he wasn't always happy practicing the song that the school band plays. He got up and took the guitar from Randall. Before stepping onto the small stage, he gave me a small kiss on the forehead.
"Hello, my name is Jasper and I am going to sing a few little songs for you tonight. I hope you enjoy."
Suddenly, Randall was sitting behind him on the drums. Then, Mary was sitting next to me handing me a tall glass of Irish Red Ale.
Jasper smiled at Mary and myself and began to sing Kenny Chesney's I Go Back.
"Jack and Diane" painted a picture of my life and my dreams,
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me
Well I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
'Cause every time I hear that song
I go back to a two-toned short bed Chevy
Drivin' my first love out to the levy
Livin' life with no sense of time
And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back
I used to rock all night long to "Keep On Rockin' Me Baby"
Frat parties, college bars, just tryin' to impress the ladies
I heard it today and I couldn't help but sing along
Cause every time I hear that song
I go back to the smell of an old gym floor
The taste of salt on the Carolina shore
After graduation and drinkin' goodbye to friends
And I go back to watchin summer fade to fall
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back
We all have a song that somehow stamped our lives
Takes us to another place and time
So I go back to a pew, preacher, and a choir
Singin' 'bout God, brimstone, and fire
And the smell of Sunday chicken after church
And I go back to the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now "Only The Good Die Young" stops me in my tracks
Every time I hear that song, I go back, I go back
To the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine
To watchin' summer fade to fall
Growin' up too fast and I do recall
To the loss of a real good friend
And the sixteen summers I shared with him
Now only the good die young
Stops me in my tracks
Every time I hear that song I go back
I sat listening to him play and put true southern emotion into his voice.
Toward the end of the song Mary leaned over and said, "If that guy looked at me the way he keeps glancing at you, I would definitely not be able to sit calmly drinking my ale."
"Trust me. On the inside, I am anything, but calm." I whispered back.
Jasper and Randall seamlessly transitioned to another Kenny Chesney song, Me and You.
Ordinary no, I really don't think so
Not a love this true
Common destiny
We were meant to be
Me and you
Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
We're a dream come true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and you
Every day, I need you even more
And the night time too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to
Every day I live
I try my best to give
All I have to you
I thank the stars above
That we share this love me and you
Every day, I need you even more
And the night time too
There's no way
I could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to
Ordinary no, I really don't think so
Just a precious few
Ever make it last
Get as lucky as
Me and you
Me and you
By the end of the song, my eyes were filled with tears. But thankfully, my eyes were not so blurry that I didn't see him mouth the words 'I love you'.
I sat calmly for the next ten or so songs. I was enjoying the music, but I barely registered it. My skin was tingling with anticipation of getting him away from this restaurant and back to his place.
He came back to me and smiled almost knowingly down at me. After taking a long drink of his tall glass of Irish Red Ale that Mary had brought him, he leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Alice, I have a few more songs to perform and then, we are out of here."
I kissed him lightly on the cheek before he could pull away. He lightly cupped my cheek with his large hand and turned his head until his lips met mine. The kiss was soft and sweet, but full of feeling and promise of what is to come.
When we broke the kiss, I whispered, "You said you love me."
"Is that a problem?" He asked shyly.
"No, it is definitely not a problem." I said smiling up at him. "I have been waiting for you to say that for a month now."
"I love you, Pixie." He said out loud before kissing me again.
When we finally fully separated and Jasper heads back to the stage, directly in my line of vision were two people I did not want to see, Rosalie Hale and Edward Masen. "Shit." I knew at least one of them had to have seen me.
As Jasper started his second song of this new group, I saw Rosalie rise out of her chair with a giant belly. I turned my head away as she ungracefully made her way over to my table.
"Alice," she said and I unwillingly turned my head back to her. "I thought that was you. How are you?"
"I'm fine. How are you and your co-cheater?" I snapped back as quietly as I could.
"Alice, I can't believe you would ask me like that."
"Why? You cheated on my brother with more than one guy." I said through my teeth still trying to by quiet. "Then, you got your skanky ass knocked up by my brother's best friend." I hadn't noticed the music stop, but suddenly Jasper was at my side and Edward was at Rosalie's.
Edward spat his words at me. "You have no right to say anything to my fiancé."
"Fiancé?" I yelled forgoing all pretense of being quiet. I felt Jasper's hands trying to pull me away, but with the blood and rage rushing through my body I couldn't hear him. I turned my face back to Rosalie. "I know you told Bella that you have to have a paternity test once the baby is born, but did you happen to tell the three potential fathers?"
The shock on both of their faces told me she had not.
"Edward, you might want to wait to have a wedding until she you know if that is your kid she's carrying." Then, I spun around to Jasper. As sweetly as I could, I asked him for his keys.
"Pixie, I have a feeling I am done here for tonight." He said glancing at Randall.
The older man nodded with a sad and shocked expression on his face. "We're good until next month, Jasper. I hope you will stay for one more drink on the house before you go though. I want these to out of the restaurant and off of my premises before you take your fiery woman out to the parking lot. I would hate to call the police on her for fighting."
"That sounds like a good idea. Her brother would kill me if I let her get arrested." Jasper said sitting down and pulling me into the chair next to him.
Rosalie ran crying out of the restaurant chasing a fuming Edward as Mary brought us another round of ale.
Randall sat down with us and let out a deep sigh. "We haven't had that much excitement in here in a long time."
I meekly muttered an apology to him.
"Forget about it, Alice. I have been looking for an excuse to not let those two in here for a long time." Randall said shaking his head. "I never really knew there was something twisted about them, but I have had a weird feeling about them for the past year and a half. Thanks for finally justifying it."
"You're welcome?" I said questioningly as Mary came back to the table.
"They are gone. He took off in their car, but she had to take one of the cabs that hang out by the movie theater." She explained landing in the fourth chair at the table.
I started laughing hysterically. When the three of them looked at me like I was insane, I said between laughs that Rosalie lives over an hour away in traffic in Martinez. They all joined me laughing.
After Jasper had sung a couple of more songs for the restaurant's crowd. He and I left for his apartment. I don't remember arriving, but I became aware of my surroundings when Jasper slightly jostled me as he tried to unlock his front door
He noticed my eyes were open and asked me if it was okay that he had brought me to his place instead of home.
"This is pretty much the way I envisioned us ending the night." I said turning in his arms to wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. "Just make sure to get me home before noon because my parents arrive from Ireland at one."
"It sounds like I have thirteen hours to have you all to myself then." He said as he shut his door with his foot and the claimed my mouth with his.
Author's Note~ I thought I would post a little side story since my brain is just now beginning to fully function after being really sick. Plus, this week is really crazy for me because it is the last week of school. I know kids hate taking final, but it is a real bitch grading all of them while having to pack your classroom. Anyways, the main December chapter will be posted in a couple of weeks. ~KaliCali77
