DISCLAIMER- We have concluded that I am not Stephanie Meyer, yes? Yes. Ok, good.
AN: Sorry about not putting this chapter up yesterday like I said but my step-dad needed his computer back. How dare he?? Well, I will get my revenge as I may. Just kidding. This chapter is in Alice's point of view. Yay! I've never written from Alice's view point before so let me know what you think. Hopefully it's not too OOC. I'm not sure if I'll do the other characters POV or not. Probably just Bella and Edward from now on. Occasionally Alice. …Ok, enough jibba jabba.
(Oh, also thank you to the wonderful soul who has reviewed on every. Single. Chapter so far. FRK921: You are an amazing person. Don't let anyone tell you different! Lol.)
-APOV-
"I'm going to throw Bella a party. Kind of a welcome to Forks kind of thing. Maybe a Las Vegas theme, lots of lights." I thought for a second. "Or maybe a masquerade would work better."
"Work better for what dear?" asked Jasper.
Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, and I were all sitting around our usual table in the cafeteria. Edward and Bella's biology class had run late and they were just making their way to the lunch line.
I twined my fingers through Jazz's on the table top. "To get Edward and Bella together of course. Haven't you noticed the spark?"
Emmet laughed from across the table. "Geez Alice. You've only seen them together for the first time a millisecond ago."
I shrugged. That's all I needed. I turned my attention to the line where Edward and Bella were waiting for their food.
"Who is Bella?" asked Rosalie from her seat by Emmet.
"New girl." I said idly. Bella and Edward were sneaking glances at each other and then snapping their heads forward again when the other would catch on. I smiled. It was so obvious. How could the others not see it?"
"Would Bella appreciate a party?" Jasper asked.
"Of course she would." I told him without taking my eyes off of Edward and Bella. Who wouldn't want a party?! Bella had just walked into the person in front of her because she was watching Edward out of the corner of her eye. Could the be more precious? Edward's grin was a mile wide. He hadn't smiled like that in too long. He missed the reset of our family and his friends in Alaska. Besides the fact that it's not easy being the loner in this group.
I glanced over at Emmet who was, no doubt whispering sweet nothings in Roses ear. Oh, he liked you to think he was big and bad but he was putty in her hands. As for me I couldn't even remember a time when I wasn't in love with Jasper Whitlock. I felt sorry for my dear cousin Edward sometimes. He deserves to find love.
"Rosalie. Move to the seat on Emmet's other side."
Her head whipped up and she narrowed her eyes at me. "Why?"
"So Edward and Bella can sit together."
She crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. Rose didn't exactly appreciate being bossed around and Emmet took a couple of uneasy glances between me and Rose as we stared at each other.
Was no one going to cooperate with me?!
"Rose." I wined, pulling out my trade mark pout. I had yet to find a person that didn't work on. Rosalie included. "Please."
She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine."
Jasper chuckled as Rose moved and I shot him a grin.
"What's so funny?" Edward asked, coming up behind us with his tray.
"Hi Bella!" I enthused jumping off of my chair to give her a hug, effectively turning the attention away from Edward's question. "You can sit right there. Between Edward and Emmet." I pointed out the correct chair for her.
Edward just rolled his eyes and glided over to his seat.
"Hi Alice…" Bella said timidly. "Uhm… thank."
She sat down while Edward stared down at his tray, grinning like an idiot. No one else noticed but I know my cousin.
"hey Bells!" Bellowed Emmet, throwing an arm around her shoulder. "Do you mind if I call you Bells?"
He grinned down at her and she grimaced before smoothing her expression and shrugging.
'Sure Emmet."
Edward brow furrowed as he saw her grimace. I smiled and squeezed Jazz's fingers. Things were moving on nicely. I almost hadn't even caught that infinitesimal grimace.
"So Bells… how was biology?" Emmet continued, clueless as to all that had just happened. "Did my brother here bore you half to death?"
Bella glanced at Edward who was glaring at Emmet. A small smile made it's way to her face as Bella turned back to Emmet.
"Biology was fine." she said.
Emmet's booming laughter was such a contrast to Bella's whisper soft voice that I almost jumped.
"Did you hear that Edward? She never said you didn't bore her to tears!"
Jasper chuckled and I saw Rosalie roll her eyes, already completely bored with the conversation.
"Emmet. Next time you throw a party I'm not covering for you with Mom and Dad." Edward said calmly.
Emmet cursed under his breath and turned his attention back to Rose.
"Bella." I said. "Meet the gang. Rosalie, Emmet's girlfriend."
Rose waved without turning her attention from her conversation.
"This is my boyfriend, Jasper." I raised our connected hands off the table top before letting them drop.
She smiled shyly.
"Nice to meet you Bella." said jasper.
"Hello. Nice to meet you too." she responded.
"And of course you already met Edward." I grinned and winked.
She instantly blushed and looked down at her tray.
"Edward, Edward, Edward." Chided Emmet in mock offense. "Don't you want to know how I did looking after Bella?"
I rolled my eyes. "I'm sure you did fine Emmet."
He grinned and nudged her with his elbow. "Dang right!" he said. "Bells and I are good friends, aren't we?"
Bella smiled. "Of course." she thought for a second. "He even warned me about that Newton guy."
Edward cocked an eyebrow and I frowned.
"Mike?" I asked.
"Yeah. I sat next to him in English Lit." She paused, thoughtfully biting her lip. "He's very… enthusiastic?"
Emmet laughed. "Talk about overly helpful! He looked like a puppy dog."
My frown deepened and I shot a glance at Jazz. That couldn't be good.
(AN: Review. It makes Edward happy. J)
