I'm back with another chapter of Soprano and Bass! ^_^ I decided to make a Two-shot after "bizcochia U-u" requested one in a review. See what those magic things can do? :D

The second half is how Alice and Jasper officially get together, so enjoy! ^_~ And the italic bit, is when Alice, tells Jasper the story.

Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns Twilight; she's the lucky one.....

Today had been a delightfully pleasant day. Flakes of downy white snow had scattered and grouped into clumps, and had eventually settled into a whole nation of frozen, arctic snowfall on the town of forks. The one I now knew as Emmett had won a very quick snow fight with Edward and Rosalie, as he had the most strength out of the group. My first thought was that he was newborn, and that brought back bitter, unpleasant memories that matched the weather, but I soon realized he was too controlled for that, and that it had been long since he was changed into a Vampire. Alice had been with me all day, until she quietly excused herself from our cheerful festivities. Her little eyes had so much light in them before she was gone, and even though my temperature was cold, I felt a surge of warmth leave me, like a part of me had been swept away with my existence. I had become more than restless waiting for her to come back to me, to be her constantly cheerful self that kept me forever smiling, but there wasn't a trace of her left; the draft that carried the rapidly tumbling snow had disposed of all traces of her radiant life form. Just as I contemplated widening my search, I heard a dry sniff from directly above me; Alice sat, clasping her legs and resting her chin on her knees in a decrepit oak tree directly above my head. I had reached her in two quick strides upwards, and clutched a branch above her head before sitting beside my source of joy.

"Alice…" I tried to lift her chin, but she made sure it remained cemented to her tight-clad legs. It was almost as if she didn't want to look at me, and her feelings were absurd. How could she feel rejected when the Olympia coven had welcomed us with open arms and acceptance? We had both never been accepted before, and it did take some getting used to, but slowly we had both settled, like an ice cube thawing in a source of heat. Instead, I settled my hand on her right cheek, gazing at her myself, and ignoring her reluctance to return the gesture.

"What's wrong?" Anxiety clouded my expression while I furrowed my brows.

She was thoughtful for a long time, procrastinating as she watched now single flakes fall by their selves to rejoin the forgotten flakes on the ground below us.

"You know I was hopeful, and that I managed to live for the time I did, but-"She breathed deeply to herself, uncharacteristically hesitating before continuing in a feeble voice, "You don't know why." She watched me through her lashes, her majestic ebony locks obscuring her cheeks in response to gravity.

"Tell me then..." I swept strands of her black tresses behind her ear, and finally gained eye contact. She showed fear, but not towards me, as if she was scared to tell me something.

"Alice, what-"

"Be silent. If you want me to tell you, I...Have to remember. You have to be silent." She closed her eyes, and a look of disturbance crossed her face. Then she began to tell me her tale of how she survived.

I woke up completely unaided, and in absolute pain; every inch of my body was internally ignited. I remember my first taste of the strength I had. I could have destroyed a whole rainforest with the force of my confusion and frustration. Then, I met my first human...After I saturated my thirst, I began to panic. It was then that it dawned on me that I shook everything around me, but I didn't know what to do, or who to turn to. So instead I ran from myself, as if I could escape my desire by running. I didn't see anything, but I felt flashes of white in the back of my skull, and to begin with, I was sure I had seen something I shouldn't have, but I pushed on. It wasn't until I noticed it had been thundering that I took refuge in a cave I had noticed from a mile back. And even though it was pitch black, I could see every crevice and shade in the sandy rock beside me, not only that, but there was engravings in the stone I did not understand.

I did feel alone, and I sat there for a long time, trying to make sense of everything that had happened up until that moment, but I couldn't. It was as if my entire life before I opened my eyes for that first time as a newborn had been erased, a no longer valid part of my existence. I contemplated ending my existence, but for a reason I'm not sure of, I knew that that was almost impossible; I could pluck a tree from its roots with my bare hands, I must be near to indestructible. So instead, I waited. I'm still not sure what I thought would happen to me at the time. I didn't want a human, I wanted somebody like me. I think an hour to the exact moment I realised what I could do that I saw you; it's still so vivid to me now. It was both future and past, and I looked at my distorted image in a puddle, and saw you again. You were just like me, in more ways than the others, so I singled you out. If I could find you, of all the people on the planet, I wouldn't need to hope. I needed a friend.

I was silenced into awe, but not pity, it was more recognition. She had had it even worse than I had. She arose all alone, no guide, no goal or incentive, until she saw that first vision. That's when she grew that optimism she still has today; the ability to not only look into the future, but believe in what she saw. She survived, because of.....

"I hoped for you, Jasper..." She looked at me now, with an almost hungry gaze, but it was not hunger, it was admiration. I tried to assess her, but I found with no concentration I couldn't. The smouldering passion in her flaming irises had me imprisoned, and then she smirked at me.

"I can see the future y' know....Why don't you just ask me?" It took me a moment to comprehend what she was telling me, but as her broad smile widened with my silence, and I realised the snow had stopped falling, and the wind now only gently whipped the branches, time was standing still for my question. I leaned in slightly.

"Alice?" I took her hand, staring at her curiously.

She regarded my face with quiet satisfaction, before answering in a ringing voice, "Yes Jazz?"

"May I?" I lifted her hands to my lips, and asserted the smallest pressure possible to my puckered lips with her gentle hand. Then I repeated the process with her cheek, rosy from hunting.

"...You can. You have more than my permission." So I cupped her face in my hands, touching it ever so slightly, and bringing it to my own. Her eyes were closed in anticipation, and her long, thick lashes fluttered slightly too. Her lips parted slightly, and I brushed them with mine. She opened her eyes, no longer anticipating, but basking in the moment of longing, and deepened the kiss. The sky emptied more of its white finery onto earth, and the wind was revived, with just as much intensity as before. Alice pulled back, and a tiny bit breathless, raised an accusing eyebrow.

"I thought you could read emotions..." She crossed her arms and struggled to hold her straight face, holding the laughter that was just screaming to erupt from her system.

"I can," I almost mirrored her facial expression.

"Then why couldn't you see?" She caressed my face, no longer feeling the urge to joke. She leaned in and pressed her lips to mine again, and I held her tight beside me.

"I know many emotions, but only ones that I recognise. I feel new ones all around me, and they are all positive. But there is one that catches my interest greatly, and it radiates most intensely from you, Alice." She smiled encouragingly.

"You really don't know?" Her nose rested just underneath mine, and she had to lift her gaze ever so slightly to examine the seriousness behind my eyes.

"It's love. I love you Jazz."

I kissed her again. "Then I love you too, I love you too Alice." I had to convince her of that, I held her face a little tighter in my grasp.

Her smile was wider than I've ever seen, and her gleaming teeth threatened to expose themselves to my equally pleased smile. Then it turned mischievous, as she placed her right hand on my chest, and exerted just enough pressure for me to lose my balance and fall. My cat-like reflexes prevented any true damage, and I landed on my feet in confusion. Just as I cast my gaze upwards, without any warning, she leaped from her sitting position, straight towards me. Her graceful positioning made her appear to be in flight as she extended her arms towards me, being caught in my protective embrace. She then continued to kiss every corner of my face, the snow not disturbing her in the slightest. Miniature flakes made her hair glisten like diamonds embedded in her vibrantly striking curls, that I had pushed back so I could see her entire face in all its magnificence. She whispered her love in my ear repeatedly, until I was aware of an audience by the front door. I could clearly remember the slight annoyance on my face as they invaded our private moment, and soon produced a scheme. I could see that she had seen my proposal, and knelt down with me, never separating her lips from mine; she then picked a handful of the snow up and shaped it into a flawless sphere in her capable hands, I mirrored her delicate precision. We then arose, but in the same instant that Emmett hooted, released the snowballs in his direction. Maybe he should rethink his earlier victory. Together, we were stronger. The harmony had more power with both. We were just as Soprano and Bass; in harmony, in-sync.

"I love you," I murmured to her as we moulded our hands together and walked back towards the remaining culprits with several more balls of snow hidden behind our backs.

"I said it first," She giggled, and I didn't bother to argue with her, I was far too deep in my own bliss to retaliate.

In harmony, the ball's soared through the air, and hit the notes that were intended, a high squeal from Rose, and a low groan from Edward.

Forever as one: Soprano and Bass, Alice and I.
