A/N: Heyyyy...sorry I haven't updated in a while :( Thanks to everyone who reviewed! :):) So this is set at the beginning of Twilight, but it's not really Canon, I guess...see what you think :)

Chapter Twenty One: Alice is planning some match making...

21. Call Me Cupid

"Jazz, please?" Alice begged, tugging on him arm and looking up at him with big, golden eyes. He looked down at her, trying to put on a stern face. It was no use; an involuntary smile broke out every time he looked at her.

"Alice, I can't." He told her.

"Jasper!" She whined, "Pretty, pretty please?"

She fluttered her eyelashes for added effect. Jasper shook his head. "I don't agree with it."

"They're going to end up together anyway; I've seen it! We might as well help things along a little!" Alice reasoned. They'd been going round in circles for the past hour, not really getting anywhere. There were two sides to their argument. Alice wanted Jasper to use his gift to make Edward and the new girl fall in love; Jasper wanted to discourage the love as much as possible - after all, a human and a vampire? How was that ever going to work?

He hadn't even believed her when she first told him what she'd seen; Edward and this new girl...together? In love? Jasper didn't think it was possible, but on the other hand - he trusted Alice, and he knew her well enough by know to tell when she was lying...and now wasn't one of those times. He was the only one she'd told - not even Edward knew yet! But he would, as soon as they got home and he read their thoughts.

"Look, sooner or later they're going to realise that they love each other, and we'll all live happily ever after." Alice was saying, "I just want to speed up that process! Make it sooner rather than later!"

"Maybe they won't end up together," Jasper reasoned, "Maybe the vision will change."

Alice shook her head, "There are lots of possibilities for the future, but whatever happens; they will be together. In every scenario, she's here, with our family - with Edward."

"I still don't understand how-" Jasper began.

"You don't have to understand it." Alice cut him off, "It's love."

Jasper rolled his eyes, "Sure, but love between a vampire and a human! That's not natural."

"We're not natural." Alice pointed out, "This is all besides the point! This is what Edward's been looking for! You know he hates living surrounded by happy couples when he has no one; he could have her! Don't you want him to be happy?"

"Of course I want him to be happy!" Jasper said.

"Well then, you'll help?" Alice asked hopefully.

"I don't know, Ali..." Jasper said.

"If not for Edward, would you do it for me?" She asked. He looked down and regretted it instantly as his eyes met her pleading amber orbs; how was he supposed to say no to that?

"You know I'd do anything for you." He said, sighing in defeat. Alice squealed.

"Love you Jazz!" She said, "I know the perfect opportunity to do it..."

~o.O.o~

Jasper felt Alice nudge him as the new girl walked into the cafeteria. Bella, he presumed was her name - that's what the annoyingly loud girl next to her was calling her. Edward had been sending Jasper and Alice weird looks all day - they were trying their best to hide their thoughts from him, but every so often he would catch something suspicious - but now his eyes were trained solely on Bella.

Whilst Edward was distracted, Alice took the opportunity to lean across and whisper to Jasper, "Now, Jazz."

He tried to ignore the loving emotion that was coming from his wife - which wasn't an easy task - and instead attempted to focus on this girl's emotions. She was staring at the table, glancing at Edward every so often. Each time she did so, her emotions spiked. It was then that Jasper realized that the loving emotion wasn't coming from his wife.

Love was flowing between Edward and Bella, tying them together like a ribbon. Slowly, Jasper started believing his wife's story. Whilst the concept of love between a human and a vampire was still ridiculous to him; he could clearly see that it was true. He couldn't deny the feelings they shared for each other...and without even knowing it!

He smiled to himself; it seemed Alice didn't need his help after all!

~o.O.o~

Alice cornered him after lunch, demanding to know if he'd carried through with his promise. He laughed, "I didn't have to."

"What? Why?" Alice demanded.

He leaned down so he could whisper in her ear, "They're already in love."

Hmm...not sure about this. Maybe because it's more BxE centred than JxA ...and kinda short...what do you think? Review and let me know :)

I'll try and update again soon...whilst you wait, go check out my latest Fanfic's ;)
