Ok I apologise for putting up the James/Maria one shot (it is in it's own place) Looks like I'm the first to pair these two.

So this is back to Alice and Jasper (although this includes all Cullen young couples).

AU (Alternative Universe) fic, though it could fit in with Eclipse timing.

APOV

The boys had just decided to have a play fight; Rose and I usually took this time to go shopping. But our new sister looked terrified. So we both decided to stay. If it were an important bet then we all would watch. This though was mainly recreational, so Esme and Carlisle continued what they were doing.

The truth was I didn't know who was going to win I had seen them all win. They were all a good match for each other. We were a little way back from them just outside the house.

"Bella they will be fine"

"All of them?" Bella said warily.

"Yes all of them, they are fighting not biting. It isn't like a human fight they won't get hurt."

We watched as they took blows and gave blows, I was right it was hard to see who was going to win. The thing was Jasper had no height advantage they were all rolling and tumbling in a ball on the ground; ducking and diving it looked like a disorganised rugby scrum.

"Rose can I still borrow that lipstick?"

"Sure keep it for all I care Em complains about staining him"

"Really I won't have that problem"

"Oh really Jasper likes it"

"No it's just… never mind I just won't wear it to bed."

"So you'll never kiss Jasper again"

"Is it that bad?"

"Yes" Rose said with a giggle

"Oh but the colour is mmm…" a little moan escapes me.

And I hear Bella attempt at a laugh. Oh it had worked getting her eyes away from Edward's. Or at least I thought I turned and she still had her eyes on Edward. I glanced sideways and gave a smile. It appeared that they were on a half time as Edward had paused to look back at Bella the boys weren't happy. Jasper took the moment to meet my smile only, he wasn't smiling he looked perplexed, and then looked away from me.

"Okay get on with it so Bella can breathe again" The truth was I didn't know what was wrong with Jasper. Was it because I didn't look worried I knew he had got hurt and I couldn't do anything about that but he was back up and fighting the next seconds.

"Go baby" I heard Rose say to my right.

"You know Bell's he will be fine. Stop worrying." There is only so much I can say. The truth was humans were a lot more breakable than I think she is capable of comprehending.

The Game had finished. They had proved nothing, they were all on top one third of the time.

"Can we go in now I'm cold" giggles escaped, only Bella could say that.

Jasper was silent, though more so than usual. It took him a lot longer for him to follow my head start inside. Rose and Em had disappeared. This left me and Edward with the equal most depressed looking/ feeling 'people' in the world. 'Good Luck' we said to each other.

"Come on Jasper, we'll head out, tell the others we've gone for a hunt. I attempted to drag him away. W hen he wouldn't come I decided to run off to the forest. I need him to let it out whatever it was, he really didn't need to bottle it up.

He knew where I'd be at our place in the forest. It is naturally sheltered area in the heart of the forest, with trees spreading the area.

It was moments later that he was stood beside me. I could hear but not feel him.

Why he always hid things from me so carefully. I don't know. I turned and reached around his waist, leaning my head in his mid chest. He slowly put his arms around.

After what felt like forever my patients is almost non-egistant but I waited for him to speak.

"Why, Why were you smiling. I was fighting."

"Jasper you know we are all going to be fighting, the volturi, whether we want to or not, I want to by the way." I hadn't told him that fact. We didn't really have a chance to plan with James.

He was frozen at the words I guestured for him to sit down, so we did.

"The truth is I was smiling at your restraint."

"Restraint, Alice it wasn't a hunt" I went to his arms, they were hidden, but I held them.

"I know but think back to oh I don't know 60 odd years ago, you were fighting uncontrollably" he withered trying to get out of my grasp. "I saw you there with our brothers with such control that you were knocking punches and no teeth were showing. In fact you were laughing. That was why I was smiling, I am soo proud of you."

"But I didn't win" hehehe I had to laugh.

"Why do men not realise it doesn't matter about winning, Bella wasn't happy because Edward won."

"But I didn't loose"

"No you didn't loose, but you won me over" He put his arms around me and looked down.

"Thank you, and you are right, I know I would never hurt my family, but when I'm fighting real fighting I think you have told me I really feel I won't turn on them in the heat of it."

"Of course you won't is that what you were worried about?"

He looked away.

I gently directed his face down to mine as I kissed him.
