TIME: 3:03 (PST)

This is pretty much very random… soooo… yeeeaaah…

Enjoy!

*************************************

I propped myself up on one elbow as Emmett and I laid in bed (we arrived in Denali a few hours before).

Next to me laid a completely naked Emmett. He laid on his back with his eyes closed, he didn't even pretend to breathe. He looked dead to the world, as he often did whenever we were through.

I stared blankly at the perfection next to me with no real thoughts in mind; until I felt his massive arm pull me securely into him.

"You're quiet," he said not opening his eyes, "why are you quiet?"

I shrugged wordlessly as I put my arm across his waist.

My brow began to draw together, as I stared at the wall ahead.

"I could feel your tension," Emmett stated, "you just had amazing sex, relax."

I shook my head and sniggered.

"Where do you think Edward will go?" I asked suddenly.

I looked up at Emmett, waiting for an answer.

"I don't know," he said truthfully, still not opening his eyes.

I gave a frustrated huff and continued to look at the wall.

"Well you're no help," I said neutrally.

"I'm sorry," I could feel him smiling.

"He'll be back," I said matter-of-factly.

"Of course. We're his family, he has to."

"You're right," I agreed. "He's a smart guy, he wouldn't do anything stupid over some girl."

I was trying to sound as convincing as possible. Who was I try to convince anyway? Emmett? Or me?

"Do you think he misses her?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes."

"Would you miss me?"

"I think I would miss you even if we never met."

I rolled my eyes, but smiled.

"Did you seriously just say that?" I asked as I looked up at him.

Emmett shrugged nonchalantly, "Yes."

"Why do you say those kind of things?"

"Cause' I mean them," Emmett easily swung me over until I was straddling his waist. "You're so beautiful."

"I know," I said, smiling down at him.

He put his hands on both sides of my face and pulled me into him until our lips met.

"That's not fair!" I heard Alice say on the phone as I was just about to round the corner, I stopped dead. "Just because you cut all ties doesn't mean-" I couldn't hear the response on the other end, but Alice groaned angrily. "It's not fair! I love her too!" another silence. "Fine… I said fine! I promise!" without a 'goodbye' Alice flipped her phone shut.

I quickly went the opposite direction as was intended and hurried into the living room and grabbed a random magazine. Kate, who was on the computer, gave me a strange look.

Usually I wouldn't have cared if I overheard anyone's conversation. But, something about this one made me feel like I shouldn't have heard anything.

"What's the point in running? I knew you were there," Alice said sourly, a very odd tone coming from her.

I looked falsely confused, "what are you talking?"

"You heard me on the phone with Edward."

"No I didn't. I was here the whole time, reading a magazine. Right Kate?" I was eyeing Kate telling her to 'play along.'

"Uhhh… Yeah!" She said brightly.

Alice eyed the both of us skeptically, "you were reading a magazine about 'Quality, Not Quantity Lumber'?"

"What?" I slipped, "Oh! Uhhh… yeah! I was thinking about building a… a… a…"

"An outhouse!" Kate exclaimed.

My head snapped towards her.

'What the hell?!?!'

"An outhouse?" Alice wasn't buying any of this bullshit. I knew it, Kate knew it… So why are we still lying?

"Yes. An outhouse," I nodded.

"We don't use the bathroom Rose."

"But should that stop us from having an one?!" I questioned.

"Okay…? Well, since you weren't listening in on my phone call maybe you would like to know what I was talking about."

I remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

"Edward made me promise to never return to Forks as long as Bella is there… none of us could go back," Alice completely forgot about my sad excuse of a lie and she suddenly became disgruntle.

I was shocked, the was really unexpected.

There was a long awkward silence.

"I need to go shopping," Alice said suddenly and without another word she was gone.

"Okay, bye," Kate and I said simultaneously.

The moment I heard the front door slam shut, I threw the magazine straight at Kate's head.

She was caught off guard, "what was that?!"

"An outhouse?! Really?!" I exclaimed.

She shrugged, "what's wrong with that?!"

"Yes, Kate. I of all people would build an outhouse."

"So… are you really going to do it?" Kate said slightly confused.

"What?!"

"Cause' I always wanted one…"

"What the hell?! No! I am not building an outhouse!"

"Can we?" she sounded hopeful.

I sighed roughly, slumped into my chair and shrugged, "I don't know… maybe later."

"I brought home goodies!" Alice sang as she walked into Kate's bedroom.

She seemed much happier than when she left a few hours ago. She had dozens of bags, as usual, in hand. She set down the bags before running out of the room only to return with three larger ones.

"These are for you," she beamed handing us two of the bags she first walked in with.

Kate and I exchanged looks before hesitantly opening up the bags.

"Black turtle necks?" Kate said pulled out three identical turtle necks out of her bag.

"Black pants?" I said pulling out three identical pairs of pants out of my bag.

"And…." she pulled out three shoe boxes. "Black Jimmy Choo OTK calf leather boots!" she squealed happily as she opened one of the boxes.

"Oooooh! Pretty!" Kate admired and she reached out. Alice happily handed them to her.

"What are in the big bags?" I said not impressed.

"You are so impatient," Alice said pretended to be disappointed, I knew she was just itching to reveal what was next.

"Taa-daa!" she quickly pulled out three matching luggage sets.

"Uhhh… no offence but after the shoes, those are pretty much a disappointment," Kate told Alice, she was hugging onto the boots like she was afraid Alice would suddenly take back her gifts.

"Are we going somewhere?" I asked.

"Yes!" Alice pointed at me like I just said the right answer to a question I didn't even know was asked.

"Where?"

"Biloxi, Mississippi."

"Biloxi? What's there?" Kate asked.

"A mental hospital," Alice was beaming.

There were no more question after that second, Kate and I were simply confused.

Kate and I exchanged a look.

"Okay," I started, "I think I speak for the both of us when I say… What?!"

"Well, when Bella came home from the hospital," she began, "You know… When James was trying to kill her?"

I nodded quickly and motioned for her to go on.

"She told me that James knew who I was and blah, blah, blah… Long story short, I Googled. And I found little snippets about my death, but that was about it. But what I do know is that I'm from Biloxi."

We stared at her blankly.

"Soooo… Mississippi here we come!" She announced.

We were still silent.

"What's with all the black clothing?" Kate asked.

"Well, I don't think the Asylum would willing give us access to their archives. Sooo…"

I knew what Alice was implying.

I narrowed my eyes, "we're breaking in."

"Yes." she said simply.

"Cool!" it was Kate's turn to beam.

"No. No, not cool," I told her, "cause' we're not doing it."

Kate's face fell and she began to frown.

"Hey! You turn the frown upside down little lady! Because we are doing this!" Alice told her.

"No, we're not," I repeated, "Kate, give Alice back the shoes."

"What? No!" she quickly hid them behind her back.

"Kate, give her back the shoes," I told her sternly.

I swear whenever we come up to Denali it's like having two Alices' and frankly… one is enough.

"No, you keep them," Alice told her.

"Give them back."

"Keep them."

"Give them back."

"Keep. Them"

Kate was looking at the both of us as if we were a tennis match.

"Give. Them. Back."

"Keep-"

"Ahhhhh!" Kate screamed, "I don't know what to do!"

She ran out of the room, with shoes in hand.

"Alice, we can't go to Mississippi," I told her, finally addressing the issue.

"Why not?"

Good question, why can't we?

"Because we can't."

"Wow. You are so persuasive." she said sarcastically.

I glared at her, she was right I wasn't very persuasive.

"C'mon Rose!" she was starting to beg now, "Let me have a chance to figure out who I am."

"I'll tell you who you are… Alice Cullen, vampire. You're married to Jasper Hale. You were adopted by Carlisle and Esme Cullen. You have two brothers Edward and Emmett. You also have an older sister, me. That's just the abridged version."

Alice pouted and slowly made her way to sit next to me on Kate's bed.

"Please Rose," she rested her head on my shoulder and began snuggling into me.

"No."

"Please, I just want to know about my human life," she said. "You don't know what it's like, being the only one who can't remember."

"I can only imagine, Alice," I didn't want to look at her. She would give me one look and next thing you know we will be on the first flight to Biloxi.

"Exactly. At least you remember all you're pretty dresses, the admiration, the friends, your parents! And I think you told me you had a brother."

"I had two..."

"See! I want to know if I have a brother or maybe a sister! You could recall parties and birthdays…"

"I can also recall being murdered."

She went silent.

"I just don't want you finding out something you don't want to find out. Something about this idea of yours doesn't feel right. You're going to get hurt. I'm protecting you."

"But, I need to know," she told me solemnly.

I gave in, "fine."

"Really?!" she perked up.

"Yeah…"

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" she hugged me tightly before running out of the room. "Kate! We're going to Mississippi!"

"I can keep the shoes?!" I heard Kate yell from downstairs.

"Yeah!"

"Whooooo!"

I groaned and fell back onto the bed.
