I was gunna delete this story, I like the idea, Its just I dont tend to proof read, I just rely on spell check, so I never realised quite how awful chapter 2 was. So I PROMISE I will go back and change that soon. And also, I like this chapter, as I prefer writing in third person, which i will try and do more of from now on. And hopefully this chapter is a big improvement on the previous two.
"YOU DID WHAT?" Carlisle's booming shout echoed of the walls in the Cullen's living room.
"YOU DID WHAT????" Rosalie's voice parroted Carlisle's, as they both took a step toward Emmet.
"EVERYTIME we establish ourselves in an area, you do something like this! Singing 'Hannah Montana' from the top of the empire state building was NOT a clever move, and this is even worse…Alice has a CRIMINAL RECORD! And we are going to have to spend our time, bailing her out!"
Emmet looked guiltily at the floor. Rosalie took the break in Carlisle's unusually violent rant as a signal to begin her own…
"I said, put on the security guard's outfit, break in with as little damage as possible, grab the coat, and GET OUT! Did I say, potter about in the women's clothing section for half an hour, try on a thong and a ra-ra skirt, then cry about the prejudice against cross dressers!?"
"No Rose" Emmett replied forlornly.
"EXACTLY. And then did I say 'Get Alice arrested and personally escort her to the police station AND stop off en-route for dunkin' donuts?"
"No Rose."
"But, just out of interest, was that thong really pure silk? With Japanese lace?"
"Yes Rose"
"Well….erm, if you gave it to me…washed and dried, obviously….I….well, might be able to forgive you…?"
ALICE'S POV.
They put me in solitary confinement! They could have at least given me company…some of those female prisoners were just bursting with makeover opportunities! I've been in here two hours now. It can't take THAT long to arrange bail can it?
It was late at night, and Carlisle was pacing around his study, massaging his forehead with his index finger and thumb, and wondering how a family of vampires, who were as near to perfect as you could get (minus the whole blood issue of course) could muck up, time and time again? Normally Jasper would have avoided someone, full of such emotional turmoil, the tension in the room would have been obvious to the dimmest mortal. But bracing himself, he knocked on the door.
"Come in" Carlisle called squinting at the doorway. Jasper silently slid open the heavy oak door, and stepped lightly into the room.
"Hi" He said shakily "I need to talk to you? It's about, well Alice and her, well, unfortunate run in with the law?"
"Oh great," replied Carlisle, sinking into a chair, "Don't you want to talk about armies? Blood flavoured wine gums? Grizzly Bears? Anything other than Alice and this prison sentence!" Carlisle sighed, and suddenly felt a wave of calm rush through him, erasing his desperation and frustration. "Thanks Jasper. What ddi you want?"
"Well, you see, this has happened before hasn't it? These early morning shopping trips, it's every season! And I'm usually in the thick of it, sneaking around, and hunting through this seasons spike-heeled boots for a size five. So I thought, maybe…we could leave Alice in prison for a while?" Jasper came stuttering to a halt when he saw Carlisle's incredulous expression
"No, no, not in a mean way! She's my mate; do you think I can bear to be parted from her for even a second? But she needs it, to learn that she can't have everything, and I need it too, the police station must think I'm some sort of drag queen, the amount of times I've been caught holding women's clothing at 6am. I don't want her away for a day, an hour, a minute, but she needs it and she needs in soon."
Carlisle rubbed his head again. "Well, I'm not so sure…"
Suddenly the door burst open
"Sorry couldn't help overhearing" said Edward cheerfully, ignoring the daggers shooting from Jasper's eyes
"No literally, couldn't help it, I'm a mind reader!" He chuckled at his own, rather feeble joke, and then carried on
"I think Jasper's idea is EXCELLENT! She needs a lesson, and why not now!"
Secretly, all Edward was thinking about, was that as long as Alice was away, Bella didn't have to bear the ritual humiliation of 'Bella's Makeovers', and whatever made Bella happy, made him ecstatic.
Carlisle thought for a moment then said, "Well, I can see where you two are coming from. And I suppose a week in the cells wont harm Alice? And she does have an extraordinary control over blood drinking around humans"
Jasper flinched at this, reminded of his own inadequacies in this department.
"So, a week in the Cells for Alice it is then!" Said Carlisle, then proceeded to ring the police department.
Was this chapter any better? I proof read a bit, but Its late, and I need a shower, but I really wanted to post so I didnt have time. But review please! :)
