Alice's POV
After dropping Bella off at her post and getting into my pixie costume, I headed over to the animal kingdom, where I had been assigned for the day. I didn't attempt to hide my moroseness, caused by the fact that Woody would never be posted here.
That's when I noticed a head of bronze hair stroll by, nearly hidden behind a mass of Mickey Mouse balloons being sold by Angela.
Bored, and pretty sure that nobody could care less about a missing fairy, I decided to follow him, with the hope that he would reveal himself to be the mysterious and confused Edward.
I scurried closer to the accumulation of helium balloons, and silently prayed that Angela would remove, to give me a better view.
As if she could hear my thoughts and wishes, she moved aside to reveal the bronze haired man.
He was pinching the bridge of his nose, obviously stressed, and his ensemble of puffy, billowing sleeves and leggings couldn't be helping the situation any.
Barely thinking, I danced over to him and gave him a big smile, before pulling him into a hug.
"I'm Alice." I explained, not letting go for a second
"Edward Cullen." He mumbled, not even commenting on my very forward greeting
"I didn't finish introducing myself." I laughed, "My name is Alice Brandon, Jasper Whitlock's girlfriend."
His head shot up, and a slow crooked grin spread across his face.
"Alice, it's so good to meet you." He chuckled, shaking my hand, "You'll have to excuse my previous demeanor. You wouldn't believe how much this little introduction has brightened my day."
"Oh, I think I have." I smiled
"He called you?"
"He did. Luckily, Bella was sitting beside me, and I was able to put two and two together. Call me dream catcher." I giggled
"Dream catcher, indeed. Do you know where Jasper is posted? I've got to meet up with him and apologize."
"I think Frontier land."
"Care to escort me?" he asked, hooking his arm in mine
"I'd be delighted." I answered, too caught up cataloguing him to tell him otherwise
I could see what Bella was talking about. After getting over the shock of that gorgeous, rare bronze hair, what drew you in were those dazzling green eyes. Not those borderline hazel eyes. These were bright green, like a freshly primed golf course. He was pale, but not in a sickly or unappealing way. Very clean and proper. The tights he wore accentuated his leg muscles, and his nice rear end side as well.
Light conversation flowed between myself and Edward, and I hoped that our friendship would continue to bloom. I could picture him as the older brother I'd always wanted, but never had.
Minutes later, we reached Jasper who was sitting on a bench staring up at the sun with a piece of grass in his mouth.
"Having fun, cowboy?" I giggled, sitting down on his lap
"Now I am." He smiled, wrapping me in his arms, before kissing the crown of my head
Edward cleared his throat.
"Oh, are we talking now?" Jasper sneered
"Jazzy!" I hissed, slapping him lightly
"Jazzy? Oh man, you're whipped already." Edward laughed, "And yeah, we're talking. Pixie here, cleared everything up. Sorry I jumped to conclusions."
"It's alright man. I probably would have done the same thing."
"Well, now that that's out of the way, what are we doing tonight?"
"How about a movie?" Edward suggested
Sitting in a dark theater with Jasper, with the stereotypical shared bucket of popcorn was tempting, but I wasn't so sure it was the best way to push Edward and Bella together.
"I think that'd be a little much for a first get together." Jasper pointed out
"What about just a nice friendly dinner?" I suggested, my mind brimming with different possibilities
"Like a bar?" Jasper laughed
"Bella gets a little too tipsy for that. How about a Friday's or Chili's?"
"I could go for Applebees, actually." Edward smirked
"It's all the same." I sighed, whipping out my cell phone to text Bella the details
"Would you please stop fidgeting?" I snapped, frowning at Bella who was squirming in the passenger seat of my car
"Why is it necessary that I'm wearing makeup?"
"Because it's evening, and we're going out to dinner. It's practically passé."
"Whatever." She grumbled
"Just behave for one more tiny little second." I murmured, finishing up the line of eyeliner beneath her left eye
"Done." I sang, turning to freshen up my own makeup
She tapped her foot impatiently.
"Somebody's anxious." I giggled, closing up the makeup, and unlocking the car door
We headed into the restaurant to find Jasper and Edward waiting for us in front of waiting area.
"We already got a table, darlin'." Jasper muttered softly, looking into my eyes
"I missed you." I sighed, leaning in to kiss him softly on the lips before following Edward and Bella to our table
The waitress came and took our orders, and we decided to get our meals and drinks at the same time.
"I'll have the chicken tender platter and a diet coke." I decided, placing my menu down so I could intertwine my hand with Jasper's
"I'll have this one and a coke." Jasper smirked, pointing to one of the burgers before circling my palm with his index finger
Wondering what he had smirked at, I curiously glanced at the two people sitting across from us, discomfort visible due to their body positioning.
Both had their backs straight against the booth, hair in their eyes, and fingers clasped around their nose bridges.
"And you?" The waitress asked, not really directing the question at one specific person
"Iced water with lemon and a Veggie Patch Pizza." They both spoke simultaneously
"Okay, then." The waitress laughed, before walking away
Edward and Bella shared a sheepish smile.
"Maybe we should give them a few minutes alone?" I whispered
"Does that mean we'd get some time to ourselves as well?" he chuckled
"I suppose it does." I laughed, letting my finger trail down his arm
He cleared his throat.
"Alice and I are going to step out for some air for a little bit." He announced, before taking my hand and leading me outside
"So, I see we've been set up…"Edward began
