The wonder of the world is gone I know for sure

All the wonder that I want I found in her

As the hole becomes apart I strike to burn

And no flame returns

Slow Chemical -- Finger 11

POV Laurel

Somehow I managed to get wedged onto this couch between the Walking Magic Eight Ball and the Incredible Hulk. I smiled to myself; I would never insult them, I was just... awkward. Jasper looked up at me, he was leaning against Alice's legs, sitting on the floor.

"What's going through your mind?" he asked me calmly.

"I'm sorry, what?" I was too exhausted to even bother with his mind. Or at least, that's what I told myself.

"Your emotions are going crazy. First you felt awkward, which I kind of understand, I mean, look who you're sitting next to!" he indicated Emmett, who in turn stuck his tongue out like a little kid, but then turned his attention back to Rosalie. Jasper continued, "Then you were slightly happy, then sad, then finally you were a bit frustrated or angry... I mean, if you ever need someone to talk to, I can always help calm you down!" he smiled slyly, his white teeth gleamed lightly in the florescent light.

Great. Now I've got the human mood ring on my tail. I settled for a smile, "Thanks Jazz, I'll keep that in mind!"

He smiled and turned back to the television, I had apparently appeased him. Alice began playing with his hair.

Oh Jaspy, you're so sweet! And I just absolutely love your golden locks! I so wish my hair had something substantial to it! She had thought; it made me smile. I saw Jasper had also suddenly smiled; did he notice that my emotions were jumping around again? Or maybe it was Alice's contentment and love. Or maybe he just enjoyed what Alice was doing. Again, I was "too exhausted" to see.

According to the large ornate clock on the opposite wall, it was just past three o'clock in the morning. Edward still wasn't back from dropping Bella off. Apparently this was a regular occurrence, but it didn't seem to concern anyone that he was spending extreme amounts of time alone with his singer. That would bother me. If I was apart of this family, that is.

I had spent many more years than young Edward, feeding off of animals, and it took every ounce of passion, restraint and love that I possessed, not to kill my singer when I turned him.

"OH! You know what?" Alice blurted, "We should play You versus me!" She was half turned toward me.

"Alright..." I hesitated, "What are we going to play?"

"You Versus Me!"

"I... uhhh..."

Emmett leaned over, "She means the game 'You Versus Me." It's like a hyped up game of Truth or Dare, only you can only pick truth."

"Oh, umm, sure! Alright then!" I said, trying to sound excited.

"We all know it's pretty lame." Alice confided, "But it's a great way to get to know each other!" she smiled brightly. "Alright, anyone who's playing come sit in a circle!"

"Jeez Alice! Always so demanding!" Emmett's laugh boomed.

"Don't forget that we have all day, Dear!" Esme reminded Alice as she sat cross legged on the floor next to Jasper. She patted his knee and smiled at him. I guessed that if Jasper was to sit between anyone he would prefer it to be Alice and Esme; with them being to two most cheerful of the household, he couldn't help but be happy around them. I got up to sit on the floor as well. Carlisle next to Esme, me next to him, Emmett next to me, and Alice between Jasper and Rosalie, bringing us full circle; we were only missing Edward.

POV Jasper

"Alright, I'll start!" Alice was way too excited not to have a plan. But I'm sure Laurel already knows. Man would being able to read minds be freaking great! I hate you Edward!

"Why?" Edward walked through the front door. I must have been too deep in thought to realize he was on his way home. Apparently he was unaware that I had been speaking to myself. I smiled, wiggling my fingers in a 'Hello' motion. I heard him groan. Great, now I'm going to have to deal with his annoyance all morning.

"Alice." Edward said in a flat tone, his eyes looked alarming. "Upstairs, now!"

"But Edward!" She whined, "We just started a game!" She looked like a child.

"Now!" He pressed, a snarl on his lips.

"Now Edward, just relax!" I said, and I spread the washing relief of relaxation throughout the room.

"Not now, Jasper!" He tried warning me.

"Fine, but if I go with you, you'll have to play with us tomorrow!" she squeezed my hand. "I'll be back in a jiffy!" She smiled that beautiful, award winning smile, that I fell in love with.

"WAre we waiting, or are we just going to play Truth or Dare with Edward tomorrow?" I craned my neck around to look at her; they were halfway up the stairs.

"We'll just play tomorrow!" She smiled again, "Won't we Edward?"

Edward only glared and jerked his head toward the top of the stairs.

At the top of the voice, as far as my mind would allow it, I shouted, "Take it easy, Edward. As far as she knows, she hasn't done anything wrong!"

"Shut up, Jasper!" he shouted down the stairs. I smiled to myself; satisfied that he had heard me.

POV Alice

"You told her?!" Edward growled at me.

Well of course I told her! She wanted to know! And you know damn well that I'm not going to keep something from her if she asks me! What did you want me to do?

"Lie." He said through his teeth. He paced his room, glaring at anything he could lay his eyes on; anything but me.

She heard us bring them up at some point and held onto the name. I brought the memory of Bella's inquisitive face to the forefront of my mind. Would you have denied her that? It's not like I told her we were in danger or something. And think about it, Edward. It was only a matter of time before she knew everything I told her, and-then-some; she's a smart girl. And giving the fact that you would give her anything, that time was shortened significantly!

His glowering eyes met mine and he snarled. He hated it when I was right.

"You could have at least left out their occupation! She was scared stiff!" he said, ignoring my taunt.

Again, she asked! I folded my arms across my chest; this conversation was over, and he knew he wasn't going to get anymore out of me; least of all, an apology. "Look, tomorrow is Sunday, it's supposed to be really freaking sunny, and were going hunting with our new best friend. So try not to screw up my day with your 'I always have to be right' attitude! I already know you're going to be getting on Jasper and Emmett's nerves!"

POV Edward

I just nodded, glad to be done with the topic. I never liked discussing the Volturi, especially if Bella was involved.
