A/N- thank you for reviewing. I have gotten many requests to update as soon as possible. I'm sorry to say that my marching band practice got int the way of this. Also, I do not own Twilight.

And I appreciate that I did not mysteriously run into any platypus named Bob. Phew!

Harry Potter? What the heck? At least that was better than the images she was conjuring up. It was almost as if she knew…Alice! That little weasel. I knew something was up when she dropped the bathroom pass. Wait, bathroom pass? So we were in middle school again? But…Alice doesn't need to go to the bathroom. And vampires don't drop things. Everything fell into place as Bella walked out the door.

Seeing her face softened me. I couldn't be mad at her, so I decided to direct my anger toward Alice. "Have a good time in biology?" I asked.

"Of course," she smiled at me. I turned her in the direction of the parking lot.

"Bella, we really need to talk," I said.

"Alright, no problem, I'll talk to you after school," she said. I couldn't wait that long.

"No, right now, skip the last hour, this is important," I told her. Her eyes widened but she didn't say anything. She just let me lead her out to the Volvo.

Of course Alice was there. Stupid psychic vampire.

"Edward, don't you think that it's not a good idea to have Bella skipping class?" she asked, her eyes on full dazzle mode. That would never work on me.

"No, Alice, I think a little skipping will do her some good. Not everybody can be perfect," was my answer.

"Alright, mind if I join you?" she asked, the corners of her mouth turning up in a grin.

"Not at all, Alice," I glared at her, "I need to talk to you too." Alice climbed in the backseat while Bella got into the passenger side.

"So, what's on your mind bro?" she asked.

"Vampires don't drop things, Alice," I retorted.

"Why not?" was her smart-ass response.

"Because, we're graceful, and even if we did, we would catch it before it hit the floor." I was driving toward the house, knowing that this argument was not going to be over any time soon. I pulled onto the drive, going faster than I should have been.

"Well, you know what? I think you're delusional." Alice said, breaking the silence. Bella had been sitting quietly in the passenger seat the whole time. She must have thought that I was mad at her, too. I couldn't let her think that.

"Bella, I'm not mad at you, just a certain pixie-haired psychic vampire that happens to be sitting behind you. I know she put you up to this," I said.

That was when Bella snapped. "She put me up to this!? She is at fault?What about you Edward? I told you NOT to go snooping around in my mind! She simply warned me! I TOLD you that you weren't welcome in there! If anyone is at fault, it's YOU!" I winced at her sudden outburst. We were at the house. Shit. I owed Bella an apology.

"Bella! I'm so sorry. It was just—," I started

"Don't you start that with me! If something is wrong I will tell you," she snapped as she walked into the house. I decided to give her some time before I attempted to apologize.

I turned back to Alice, who was grinning like a maniac. "You knew this would happen."

"Of course. But why stop it? After all, you aren't the only one who likes to mess with people's heads," she said, the maniacal grin never leaving her face. The argument continued while we got out of the car and went into the house. Everyone else was almost home, I could hear Rosalie's car turning.

Alice and Edward took their argument upstairs, while I elected to stay downstairs. I knew that technically, Edward and I were on the same level of wrong. I had been mean with my thoughts, but he had been nosy enough to snoop. I was still surprised that he hadn't asked about the Harry Potter thought. He probably would.

All of a sudden I felt someone's cold hand on my back. I jumped and turned around.

"Jasper! You scared me," I breathed.

"Sorry, Bella," he said, flashing me his dazzling smile.

"No problem," I said. I suddenly felt calm. Jasper's eyes were full of sympathy.

"How immature of them," he said playfully.

"Yeah, it is kinda funny, though, to hear them arguing like that," I answered.

"So…are you gonna explain why he's so upset? I thought you'd given up your plan," he asked.

Oh! Jasper wasn't there! No one else had known about this. "Uh…I kinda…maybe thought about you a little too much when I happened to know he was watching," I explained.

Jasper's eyes went wide. "Bella! I…I don't really want to be on Edward's bad side. It's really not pretty."

"Oh, don't worry, Jasper, he's not mad at you. He's mad at Alice for tipping me off as to when he was going to be snooping around. I'm sure that somewhere deep inside him, he's mad at me, too, but he won't admit it. I kinda snapped at him in the car, he wants me to cool down I'm sure. But you're the last person on his mind," I explained.

"Oh, thanks, Bella, I—," Jasper was cut off by Emmett's roar from upstairs.

"Alright! What's the problem here?" I could imagine Edward and Alice's faces. I snickered at the thought of Emmett playing peacekeeper. HA!

"Nothing of your concern, Emmett," Edward snarled.

"Don't make me come over there and pin you down again, Edward!" Emmett growled back.

I was full on laughing now. The thought of the scene playing above me was just too much. I realized I wasn't the only one.

I turned around, only to find that Jasper was just as hysterical as I was, except for the fact that he couldn't have tears running down his face. "We might not want to be right here," I said, thinking that Edward and Emmett might break the floor and send it crashing toward us.

"I know, maybe we should go outside," he replied, still chuckling. We strolled to the door and out to the front lawn, right as Esme walked to the living room. "Esme!" Jasper yelled.

"Hm?"

"You might not want to go in there, Emmett and Edward are about to break the floor," he explained.

"Not in MY house!" Esme yelled and ran in. "EDWARD! EMMETT! Stop this right now! I don't want you to break my house!"

They didn't stop. Instead, they brought it outside, where Emmett launched himself at Edward, pinning him down for the second time in a week. I giggled as I walked in the house behind Jasper. We sat down on the couch and waited for the fight to end. Alice had smartly stayed inside.

I admitted defeat and explained to Emmett the situation so I could see if Bella was okay. I walked in to find her on the couch next to Jasper laughing hysterically.

"Something funny?" I asked.

"You and Emmett are," she replied between gulps of air.

"Oh." So she had been laughing at me. Oh, well, I still needed my answers. Well, really I was only wondering about one thing. "Bella, why were you thinking about Harry Potter in biology?" I asked.

Emmett roared with laughter. "Bella was thinking about Harry Potter? What? Does she think he's real?" He practically shook the house from laughing so hard.

Bella turned the color of the roses I had dropped yesterday. "No, I don't think he's real!" she defended. "It just sort of popped into my head!"

"There is a reason for everything," I said, not able to keep the smile off my own face.

This only made Bella mad. "Well I bet he could beat you in a fight anyway!" she said angrily. The house went silent for about three seconds. Then everyone started laughing, except Bella, whose face was almost purple it was so red.

We couldn't regroup from our hysterics in time to stop Bella from walking through the door. How was she planning on leaving? I'd brought her here. Jasper got up.

"I'll take her home," he said.

A/N sorry for the cliffy. whoo! cliffs are fun! I have to get up early for golf practice tomorrow, so I couldn't keep writing.
