Everyday Moments Of Perfection

A/N: Well, thanks guys. It seems that you did like the AH after all, and I was slightly worried about that. I have now started an AH story—(damn you, muse, damn you)—and while the summary may seem very ExB, it will have interspersing chapters of AxJ and RxEm. The second chapter—which I have just posted, is AxJ. It's called Defying Gravity, and I'd love it if you guys—especially the AH fans amongst you—would check it out.

Anyway, here's some more fluff! So, enjoy. ;)

Well, in this one, you get to find out exactly what Alice and Jasper do during all that extra free time at night. Not like THAT… ;)

Alice sat at the table in the kitchen, fiddling with something that looked extremely tricky. It was two o'clock in the morning, but of course, that meant nothing to any of the Cullens, who only registered the passing of day and night because they had to go to school. Emmett and Rosalie were watching a rom-com on the new plasma screen, Edward was practising his new song for Bella in the lounge, Esme was playing pool with Carlisle in the study and Jasper was watching Alice with a smile on his face, unbeknownst to her. Her eyes creased with concentration as she pulled a needle through a miniscule piece of cloth. Jasper couldn't make out what she was doing, and the curiosity was nearly killing him—again.

Rosalie yelled through from the living room, something about how Jasper was making Emmett curious about how the television worked all of a sudden, and he was to stop it at once. Of course, she used slightly different phrasing, and Esme sharply reprimanded her from upstairs.

At the sounds, Alice looked up, her eyes instantly locking on to Jasper's form, partially shadowed, standing by the kitchen door. He grinned and she gave a welcoming smile in return. Jasper crossed the kitchen, pulled a chair out next to Alice and sat down, just watching as she resumed what she was doing.

A few minutes passed, with amused glances from Alice and frustrated musings from Jasper, before Alice decided to put him out of his misery.

"It's finger puppets," she said, looking somewhat amused.

"Finger puppets?" Jasper repeated, part-entertained and part-incredulous. "You're… making finger puppets."

Alice scowled playfully at him. "I'm bored."

Jasper winked suggestively. "I might have a cure for that."

Alice's eyes twinkled appreciatively and she leaned forward. Jasper leant in to kiss her but at the last second, just before their lips touched, she pulled away, laughing. "Well, you should have thought of that before I started doing this."

At Jasper's mock pout, she looked slightly remorseful, grinning and then quickly leaning in and kissing his cheek, leaving Jasper with a smile on his face as he played with her fingers, not obstructing her finger puppet-making, but interweaving with the fingers she wasn't using.

After a few more minutes, Alice grinned with satisfaction. "Done."

She picked up a brown felt shape, putting it on one index finger, and a finger puppet person on her other index finger. As Jasper looked closer, he realised that the finger puppet person was in fact a finger puppet vampire.

And the finger puppet vampire looked suspiciously Emmett-like.

Jasper raised an eyebrow.

Alice giggled, "I made us. All of us. Look." She wiggled her finger and Emmett danced accordingly. She made it leap and attack the other puppet. It was an extremely good likeness of a grizzly bear. Alice growled in an imitation of Emmett as he 'drained' the felt bear.

Alice laughed as she put down the Emmett-puppet and the grizzly-puppet, picking up two more. They were a Bella-puppet and an Alice-puppet. Alice made the Alice-puppet chase the Bella-puppet, brandishing a miniscule felt-LBD, while Bella-puppet screamed hysterically.

Jasper chuckled loudly at Alice's antics, and she couldn't help but grin.

Alice's eyes twinkled wickedly, and she picked up a Jacob-puppet. On her other finger was an Edward-puppet. Alice growled and yelped for all she was worth as Jasper watched the bitch-fight unfold before him as, under Alice's touch, Edward-puppet and Jacob-puppet slapped each other and screamed revolving around each other and hurling insults back and forth, most of which Jasper found highly amusing… and so did Emmett and Rosalie apparently, as they heard muffled giggling from next door. Alice smiled wickedly and made Rosalie-puppet and—a severely beaten-up—Jacob-puppet exchange blonde/dog insults.

Alice met Jasper's eyes, and couldn't stop giggling, and Jasper found it incredibly infectious.

After a while, the giggling from the kitchen died down, and Jasper leaned in to whisper in Alice's ear. "Did you make a Jasper-puppet?"

Alice winked, and picked up another vampire-puppet from the side. This vampire-puppet had a little lop-sided grin, and dishevelled blond hair. It was the most intricate of all of them, and Alice picked up the Jasper-puppet, placing it on her finger. The Alice-puppet was on her other finger.

Alice brought them to meet in the middle, and the Jasper-puppet stretched out its little felt-arm. Alice-puppet responded in kind, placing its felt-hand in Jasper-puppet's. Jasper-puppet moved closer, the real Jasper mirroring its movements. Jasper-puppet reached out, pulling Alice-puppet into a tender hug, even as the real Jasper placed his arm around Alice's shoulders, pulling her small form close to him.

The real Alice smiled as she lay her head on the real Jasper's chest, and her eyes sparkled as Jasper-puppet and Alice-puppet danced a little puppet waltz on the Cullens' kitchen table.

A/N: This was just fluff. Yes, Fluff-Muse had struck yet again. I haven't had any fluff lately! Oh, I'm happy now. Warm fuzzies for all and I'd feel even fuzzier if you review! Jasper and Alice-puppets waltzing for everyone who does. :)
