I felt like doing an Edward and Alice bonding chapter because they're meant to be really good friends.
Hope it's okay xD.

Chapter 10 Understanding
I looked up from my book to stare at the sky for a moment, as I absorbed how much my life had changed.
It's been one week since me and Jasper arrived at The Cullens, one very eventful week. Carlisle and Esme told us that it was a Friday when we arrived, so that would make it Friday again today.
On Saturday, we set up a new room for Edward and started to work on Jasper's.
On Sunday, me and Jasper finished Jasper's room and helped Esme do some gardening, everyone else went hunting.
On Monday, Carlisle got us some false documents (Such as birth certificates and passports) and made me and Jasper bank accounts. He also very kindly put $10,000 in each of them. Rosalie, Emmett and Edward went to school.
On Tuesday, Rosalie, Emmett and Edward went to school while Me and Jasper went shopping. I decided to buy Edward some gifts to say sorry for stealing his room, he said not to worry about it but I couldn't but feel bad.
On Wednesday, Esme applied us to the school while Carlisle created a fake medical history and Jasper taught me how to dance while the house was empty.
On Thursday, Me and Jasper went to explore the nearby river and fields, and when Rosalie got home from school she showed me the town. We managed to buy some wonderful clothes and shoes.
Today Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett have gone hunting and only Edward has gone to school. Because it's a school day, the hospital and the school think that they've gone camping.
Everyone left fairly early so I've had the house to myself all day, and I've made good use of it.
I'd gone into some shops that Rosalie had suggested, I'd played my music louder than normal and I had great fun singing along. I'd also being practicing the ballroom dancing steps that Jasper taught me.
I had done a lot of things that involved moving around so I had decided to take it easy and read one of the many books. The book I was reading was amazing and it really made me think about how lucky I am.
I'm lucky to have a family, I'm lucky to have Jasper and I'm lucky to have a home.
I couldn't wish for anything more, well I would like it if Edward liked me a little more. I think he's still angry about the whole room thing, even though he says he's not.
I tried to concentrate on my book, but mu thoughts kept going back to Edward. I closed the book and rolled onto my back, closing my eyes.
I picked up Edward's scent, meaning that he's nearly home. That also meant that I only had a moment to figure out how to get some bonding time with Edward. Well I guess now is a better time than ever.
But what do I have to do to get him to like me?
"You don't have to do anything" His voice startled me a little, I was so deep in though that I didn't hear him approach. He was still carrying his school books and bag. His expression showed no emotion. I sat up and looked at his face, he looked away.
"Excuse me?" I said, bewildered.
"You don't have to do anything. I'll learn to like you in my own time" He started to walk away but I wasn't done with him yet.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He stopped and turned to look at me
"It just feels a little weird to have two new additions to the family"
"You got on fine with everyone else" I pointed out.
"It's different this time" He walked into the house to put away his school bag.
Why was it different? Are me and Jasper really that different? I curled up into a ball and stared at the grass. Why doesn't he like us?
"Why is it different this time?" I called out, knowing that he could hear.
He appeared next to me, but didn't sit down. He waited a minute before answering.
"You don't understand" he said, there was no sadness in his voice, in-fact, his tone was sympathetic.
I patted the spot next to me, inviting him to sit down. He looked stunned, but more than happy to try and bond. He slowly sat down and crossed his legs.
"Help me to understand" I said, putting my hand on his.
"You know how I can read minds?" Yes I answered in my head "Well, it always felt weird being the only one who had a gift, and now you and Jasper have turned up"
Isn't that A good thing?
"Yes, but I'm not used to reading minds like yours"
Our minds are different to everyone else's? He smiled at the skepticism in my thoughts.
"Very different. You both have gifts that I've never come across before"
How does that effect our minds? He laughed.
"You get visions, so whenever I'm near you I can read your thoughts and then I see the vision too"
Oh I see. And when Jasper feels different emotions, you feel them to? That's like having three gifts.
"Yes, that's right. So you understand why that might feel a little weird?"
"Definitely" I looked into his eyes and I felt sympathy for him. It must feel a little odd having three gifts at once.
I looked down at the grass. We stayed silent for a few moments, I understood him a little more now. I wondered if he understood me.
"No I don't understand you yet" He answered my thoughts.
"Would you like to?" I asked.
"Yes, It would be great to understand you"
"I don't know where to start" I said.
"Well, to understand you, I need to where you came from, what made you come here and Stuff like that"
This is hard for me to talk about. Could you please just watch it in my mind and I'll explain as well?
"Of course"
Well, I don't remember my human life, except for my name. I woke up alone in darkness. I glanced at him, and he nodded encouragingly. I had my first vision unintentionally. I was in the vision, only I was a complete savage. I had no control. I decided that under no circumstances was I to become like that.
"I don't blame you" Edward commented,
I had another vision almost straight after the first. You, Emmett, Carlisle, Rosalie, Esme and Jasper were in it. You were teaching me how to be like you. I decided that I was going to live like you, I was going to be good. So I set off, looking for Jasper. I found him in a diner and we connected from that very moment. I couldn't believe that I had found someone. We then went in search of you. And you know the story from there.
"Yes, I do. I can't imagine what it must have felt like for you, waking up, not knowing..."
"It wasn't the most pleasant experience, but if it had never happened then I would never have found You, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle and Esme"
"I guess that's true. But we're not that great"
"Yes you are. I had no one to help me and then I found you and everything changed. It could have gone wrong, but it didn't. And I wouldn't change a thing"
"Why?"
The emptiness I felt when I woke up was horrible. Nothing can describe it. All of this doesn't feel real. In some ways I hop that this is all a dream and I'll wake up and go back to my human life, but if I did then I would miss this world terribly.
Every time I have a vision, It reminds me of how happy I am. And I hope that the vision will show something good that will make my life even better. My visions guided me here, so I think of them sort of as a guidance.
Edward's grip on my hand tightened and he looked at me with the most heart breaking expression.
"So, we're the only family that you have then?" His voice was pained.
"Yes. And I don't need anymore"
He surprised me by pulling me into a hug. I embraced him back, glad that we finally understood each-other.
"I'm glad too" He said. For the first time since we arrived, there was a smile in his voice.
Now that we understood each-other a little more, I thought that we should something together. He released me and looked at my face.
"Great idea, Alice. What would you like to do?"
I racked my brains. Then it hit me. An evil grin spread across my face. A look of shock and fear crossed Edward's face.
"No Alice. Anything but that" He was getting to his feet and heading towards the house. I ran after him, but he was faster.
He vanished. He was hiding somewhere.
"Edward, I'll soon find you so you might as well come out and deal with it " I called out.
I heard a gasp from the cupboard on the second floor and ran up as fast as I could. When I opened the door I saw a terrified Edward cowering in the corner.
I pulled him up and dragged him to my room. I locked the door and sat him in a chair. He didn't try and escape, probably because he knew there was no point.
I placed a stool next to him then grabbed some products from my dressing table and put them on the stool.
I picked up the hairbrush and walked slowly towards Edward, every time I took a step he looked a little more scared.
"You should be scared, Edward, I'm going to give you a make over"
"Come on Edward, they'll be home in a minute" I grabbed his arm and tried to pull him out from behind the door where he was hiding.
"Exactly the reason why I want to change"
"But you look lovely!" I whined. He growled at me.
"Okay, I'll come out if you do the same to Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle" He said that like it was a hard thing to do.
"Deal"
He stepped out wearing the outfit I had dressed him in;
A white t-shirt with an open black shirt over the top, and some dark purple flares. I had also made him wear some male platform shoes which were white. To top it off I also added sunglasses.
I had styled his hair so that it curled back on itself.
Personally, I thought he looked amazing.
"Yeah, amazingly stupid" Edward commented.
"Whatever"
I heard two cars approaching the garage.
"Yay, everyone's home!"
"Great!" Edward said sarcastically.
"Oh stop ruining my fun" He laughed.
I pulled him downstairs so that everyone could see us when they came in.
"How are you going to stop them escaping?" I hadn't thought of that "Can I make a suggestion?"
"I'm all ears"
He leaned forward and whispered in my ear.
"Great Idea!" I said, running out to the garage.
I caught them all just in time, they were just getting out of the cars.
"Rosalie, can you help me?" She turned to face me.
"Sure" I leaned into to whisper.
"When everyone's inside please lock the doors and keep all the keys"
"Why?"
"I've just given Edward a makeover and I want to do the same to the rest of the boys"
"Awesome!" She shouted, everyone turned to look at us.
"What's going on?" Jasper asked.
"Nothing for you to worry about. By the way, I've given Edward a makeover..."
They all ran inside to look at my wonderful work. Me and Rosalie followed them and locked the doors behind us.
They were all standing around Edward in a circle, admiring his new look. While they were distracted we took their keys from their pockets.
Emmett and Jasper started snickering.
"Alice, could you please choose an outfit for me?" Emmett said sarcastically.
"And me?" Jasper joined in. Edward rolled his eyes.
Me and Rosalie moved forwards towards them and the smile's vanished.
"If you really want me to..." I said.
"I'm sure I can help" Rosalie said.
"Carlisle, don't think you're getting off lightly" I added, seeing him trying to sneak away.
"Can I help?" Esme asked.
"Of course you can"
"No Alice, we were only joking..." Emmett stuttered.
"To late now" I said, smiling.
Together, the three of us managed to lock them in our rooms and change them into the outfits that I selected.
Carlisle in dark blue jeans with a pink shirt and yellow tie with brown leather shoes. His hair was bushed as straight as it would go.
Emmett in pink flares with a green long sleeved top with a gold chain. He was wearing white trainers. He also had a cap on, so his hair was normal.
Jasper was wearing black leather trousers with a white shirt and black leather shoes. His hair was pulled into a tiny pony tail. He had sunglasses like Edward.
When we were done we all sat downstairs and took some family photos.
This was the start of some great family days.
Let me know what you think by reviewing. xD.
