One day, Jasper came home looking HAPPY. And I mean happy. Well, of course you can imagine the shock this caused, but in Vampire World this doesn't really matter. Seven -or was it eight? - Pairs of curious eyes gazed at him.

Edward was the first to relax. "A goldfish?" he asked, puzzled.

There was a plastic bag clutched in Jasper's right hand- and in it there was a delightful little golden creature swimming a bit distress-fully.

"It's beautiful," said Esme lovingly. Rosalie snorted.

"Hmm… I never studied to become a vet," said Carlisle. "I wonder what a goldfish's blood pressure is."

"It doesn't DO anything!" cried Emmett, prodding at the side of the bag.

Jasper glowered at him. "He's scared of you, you big whale!"

"Don't you call my Emmett-teddy that," snapped Rosalie. But halfway through the sentence her voice turned soft.

Renesmee giggled. Bella and Edward cooed. Alice seemed to be stuck in a trance, though of course this wasn't strange.

"Help me get the tank out of the boot," said Jasper to Emmett. "I had to use your truck - if that was OK. Hurry, we don't want him to get dehydrated.

Emmett scowled, which immediately faded. He dragged his feet out of the room, muttering "Stupid feeling-controlling vampire."

Alice suddenly spoke, jumping out of her trance. "Vampire fish," she muttered.

"What did you say?!" asked Carlisle, alarmed.

"Great, I can teach it to jump through hoops!" shouted Emmett.
