I thought, just because you guys are great, I'll post this too. I know it's kind of short, but oh well.
Jasper's POV
The night of the dance, I headed over to Edward's house. He, Emmett, and I were getting ready together. Alice had apparently sent our clothes over with Emmett. Hey, what did you expect? It's Alice.
We got dressed, already wondering what the girls looked like. Presently, they called the house saying that we could come and pick them up now.
We patted each other on the pack, got in our cars, and followed each other to the house. I wonder what is in store for us.

Oh.
My.
God.
The three of us stood at the bottom of the stairs, staring up in shock. The girls came down, arms linked, gliding effortlessly. They all three looked beautiful. Alice was gorgeous in a yellow floor length gown. She took my arm, and we headed outside. Man, did I feel sorry for Edward.

Bella's POV
When we came down the stairs, I had to stop from gasping out loud. Edward, (and Jasper and Emmett) stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking extremely handsome. I could hardly look away. He seemed in a state of shock at my appearance, because had had scarcely move by the time both Jasper and Emmett had led the girls away.
I began to feel nervous. Was I that bad looking? My dress was navy, strapless and long. It was simple, yet I loved it. My worries were quickly dissuaded when he stepped forward to kiss me.
We arrived at the gym, and Edward quickly ran around to my side of the car and opened the door for me. Such a gentleman.
Ignoring the jealous stares, we made our way inside. We met up with the rest of the gang, and we hung out for a while. Soon, a slow song came on, and Alice and Rosalie were led away. Since Edward had gone to the bathroom for a few minutes, I sat down and relaxed. Watching the dancers, I smiled. High School could be horrible some times, but when people acted like this, it wasn't quite as bad.
A hand on mine startled me out of my reverie, and I turned to look into the smiling eyes of Edward. Leading me out onto the dance floor, he held me close. I felt beautiful, for one of those rare moments in my life.
We stared into each other's eyes, and I felt good. Turning to look around the room, I found an amazing sight. Rosalie and Emmett were against the wall, making out. Alice was relaxed into Jasper's arms, sitting on the bleachers, looking happier than I had ever seen her. And Edward…Edward stared into my eyes as if without them, he would die. I stared back, and we were lost to the world.
The dance went on, and we enjoyed ourselves. At one point, a song came on that, at our old high school, you had to dance a specific way. No one here knew that, apparently, so I recruited Alice and Emmett to help me out. Heading up to the front of the gym, we began to dance. We were laughing and enjoying ourselves, and presently I was aware of how Rosalie, Jasper, and Edward were standing behind us, trying to follow along. It was pretty simple, and soon they got the hang of it. The next to join us was the baseball team, then their dates, then the football team, and their dates, and pretty soon, we had the whole gym dancing along. At the end, Alice, Emmett, and I started cheering. It was pretty awesome.
The night ended on a high note, and we each went off together, never to forget the good memories.

The next morning was the first day of Winter Break, and we were happy to enjoy the snowfall. After waking up to the snowy whiteness, I got a great idea. I made a large pot of hot cocoa, calling down Alice.
We dug out, amid the boxes in the garage, our old snow shovel and ice block maker. I put the cocoa in a giant outdoor hot water dispenser, set up a table with a batch of carefully kept warm cookies.
Alice and I made a huge snow fort out of ice blocks, fortifying it with packed snow. Making a huge pile of snowballs, we texted Emmett to come outside in his snow clothes.
When he came tottering out, not quite awake, with his shows on the wrong feet, we let loose with our torrent of snowballs. He shrieked like a girl and ran back inside.
We quickly stocked up on ammunition, and sat in wait. We didn't have to wait long, for soon Emmett returned, quickly followed by Charlie. They had an air propelled snowball launcher.
The great battle raged on, stopped only when Emmett noticed the food. We continued having a good time, making snow angels and snowmen. Charlie took out a baseball, dipped it in water, and then set it outside for a while.
Once it had frozen, we played the coldest game of baseball we had ever had. It was great.
The day ended with us sitting by the fire, drinking hot cocoa with marshmallows, and telling stories about each other when we were kids. Even though Renee wasn't there, it was great. I had an awesome family, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
