Her worried look disappeared when she heard Bella joke about no open wounds. Alice felt a bit bad. She hoped Bella didn't think she was offering to talk to him because she was afraid he'd loose control and maybe 'attack' Bella. She just knew the girl could get tongue tied sometimes, especially around the quiet Jasper.
Alice's gaze softened and she gave a small smile at the joke. "It'll be fine."

Bella smiled, "I know it'll be fine. Jasper would never hurt me and if there was a possibility of it going bad, you'd be able to see it and let me know ahead of time," she said.
She was past worrying about Jasper hurting her. She knew he would never do so intentionally and that was good enough for her. Besides, it wasn't like she was really going to be alone with him. They would be in a house full of vampires who would probably be eavesdropping anyway.

"I'm glad you have such confidence in my abilities," Alice joked, thinking to herself how Edward could benefit from agreeing with Bella in this matter. "I don't doubt Jasper I just know he's still having a bit of difficulty. But practice makes perfect."
Not that she thought of testing Jasper's tolerance with Bella as perfect. She just knew the longer he resisted the easier it got.
"So anything else important?" she asked, leaning to rest her arm on the back of you couch, bending at the elbow to rest her knuckles on her temple.

Bella thought about it for a moment. "No, not really. Time for random girl talk, I suppose," she laughed.
She was up for just about anything, except for any talk of clothes or shopping -- she was way too exhausted at this point for all of that. She just hoped that Alice would see that. If not, she would try and do her best to keep up -- she would hate to hurt Alice's feelings.

Ah the beauty of girl talk. Alice grinned at Bella. "Girl talk huh? I can handle that," she commented with a wink. "Any particular thing you want to talk about? Embarrassing stories of Edward pre-Bella age? Mike Newton and his probable still apparent crush on you though he knows you're with Edward? Some particularly nice piece of school gossip you might have heard?"

Bella laughed. "I figured you would have something to talk about. You know me, I hardly listen to other people when I'm with you all. And seeing as I'm almost always with one of you, that hardly leaves time for gossip," she laughed.
Girl talk. The one thing that she could always count on Alice for -- besides clothes and shopping -- to take her mind off of everything else.

Alice rolled her eyes. "Well give me something to work on Bella. Pick something for me to gossip on. I need to get into the groove," she said, moving her arms in a very disco type way and shook her head at her own ridiculous antics.
Yes. She was VERY glad Edward had picked Bella. She almost couldn't picture her life without the girl and she'd only known her for less than a year.

"Jeez, Alice, must you make thing so difficult?" she asked teasingly before she busted out laughing. Bringing her hand up to her face, she stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"Any news on that guy that I almost stabbed with my scalpel at school the other day?" she asked. She had been wondering about that but hadn't had the time or the nerve to ask him how he was. She had been walking around to the other side and the table she and Edward shared to do the next part of the dissection when she had tripped over her own feet and her scalpel had very nearly landed in someone's arm.

"Mark?" Alice said, thinking of the guy that Edward had pointed out when retelling the story at lunch. "I'm pretty sure he's fine though I've heard that he's going to be on the other side of the class room from now on when you have sharp objects near you."

Bella rolled her eyes. "I'm not that bad am I?" she asked. She knew that she could be, but she said it in an attempt to make herself feel better.
"I feel horrible about that whole incident," she muttered, letting her head fall back to rest on the arm of the couch.

A grin spread to Alice's face, "Well I wouldn't say ALL the time you are." She let out a ringing laugh before shaking her head. "But don't worry about it. He knows it was an accident."
Alice really wished she had gotten a chance to see this incident. It sounded like a particularly hilarious one. She'd heard many from other people in Bella's gym class as well.

"Alice," Bella half whined half laughed, "you're supposed to help make me feel better not tease me about it," she smiled.
Shrugging her shoulders she said, "I know he knows it was an accident, but that doesn't make me feel any better about it. I hate when my klutziness affects other people."

"At least I'm not as bad as Emmett," she said with a dismissive wave of her hand.
"And your klutziness is something I absolutely love about you. Edward finds it cute too," she said, winking slightly at her.

Bella shuddered at the thought of Emmett's relentless teasing. "Thank God you're not as bad as him. It's hard enough dealing with just one -- he never stops," she laughed.
Feeling her face heat up slightly at the mention of how cute Edward thinks her klutziness is, she said, "Alice, really. It isn't cute at all. It's dangerous -- for everyone involved."

"Maybe that's one reason Edward likes it," Alice said slyly and worked very hard not to laugh or smile, sounding casual. Bella was just so easily flustered. She'd probably pay for it later when Edward got home but for the moment she was safe. Well from him at least...
