AN: So, this is again written for my sick friend, who is a huge Alice/Jasper fan...alright, she's a huge Jasper fan. Anyway, this time I wrote AFTER doing scholarship essays, instead of during. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own, wish I did, etc.

It won't kill to just walk in and get out of this weather. I kept repeating that thought in my head as I went forward, towards a diner. I knew it very well could end badly, but I wanted out of the rain. Now, preferably.

As soon as I entered, a bell making a small ringing noise, I sensed her. She was a vampire, but her sent was one I didn't know. That was good. Maybe she'd ignore me. After all, I'm the scar covered freak here.

Barely a second had passed when I noticed her coming towards me. A small little thing. Of course, that doesn't mean I shouldn't be concerned.

"You've kept me waiting." She said, her head cocked slightly to the left, her tone accusing and teasing at the same time, and a smile threatening to take over her face. But those were secondary. For the first time, I felt...alive. I felt whole. I felt hope.

So I did what any gentleman would do. I apologized. "I'm sorry, ma'am." I said, moving to tip a hat I no longer had.

Her smile escaped now. "I know. Come. I'm Alice. And you're Jasper. Now, let's get out of here so we can talk."

I smiled back at her. "Yes, ma'am."

"One more thing," she said as we left the diner, popping open an umbrella (which I took and held over her, leaving me to partially get wet), "if you ever call me ma'am again, I may have to hit you. My name is Alice."

I smiled, sensing her annoyance. "Alright then. Alice."

She smiled, and just like that, everything was great again. She was happy, and that made me happy. And, as we walked down the street, I decided there was nothing more beautiful than a smiling Alice.

And, cue the "Awwws". So I've decided that I reall like writing cute, random one-shots. If you have a situation you'd like to see (so long as you don't mind the fact that I will make it very fluffy at the end) leave it in a review! And I'll keep writing these!
