She even remembered to leave a note this time.  
It was a first for her, to remember to leave notes behind in Milliways. One to Bart to let him know she'd be back shortly (and with a gift for him), one to Teddy to tell him Bart would take care of whatever needs he may have while she was gone, and one to Edward in case Alice had failed to tell them where they had gone (which she doubted, but she thought Edward would still appreciate the maturity).

And that was that. The shuttle fridge was stocked with deer blood provided by Bar in case her guest got hungry. The interior itself was as neat as it would ever get; scattered with souvenirs of her travels. By the console were photographs: of Jenny and Bart mostly, although Alice would be able to recognise a certain bronze haired individual sitting next to the Gallifreyan in another.

She turned around as soon as there was space for Alice to fit in as well and smiled brightly. It felt good to escape, just for a while. Really good.

"Like it?" Jenny tilted her head, watching the vampire with curiosity. "Edward did. He liked flying her more than anything, I think."

Alice gives her a look and eyes her a bit warily. "It depends, Jenny."

Her family's safety is very important.

"What about me going to school with you and Edward? I wouldn't ever do anything to endanger your family," she added in, remembering Edward's biggest concern. "Ever. You have my oath as a soldier that I'd obey and lay down my life for theirs if it came to it."

Alice grimaces and looks away. "It is not a decision I can make on my own, Jenny." She bites down on her lip. "And it's not that I don't trust you not to tell people, it's something my family must discuss together, it affects us all."

"I expect that," Jenny answers, looking a tad confused at Alice's reaction. There wasn't anything to get upset over, was there? "I'd just like it if you'd put in a good word for me when your family knows about Milliways. That's how it works, right?"

"Of course." Alice nods. "I can give you that."

Whether or not attending Forks High is safe, on the other hand, Alice will have to think on that.

And, webbing aside, Jenny leans over in the seat to give her a quick hug.

"Thank you!"

Alice hugs her back, careful to not be too hard. "Of course, Jenny."

"On to the Mall, now?"

(It's big enough to deserve capitalization, really.)
Alice Whitlock Cullen[personal profile] betagainstme on December 18th, 2008 04:03 am (UTC)
"Absolutely." The smile Alice gives might be a little...scary.
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on December 18th, 2008 10:29 pm (UTC)
Maybe a little manic, but certainly not scary.

Time lapse aside, which is probably filled with senseless chatter about boyfriends and husbands, they arrive.

And, lo, like Jenny promised: it is a planet dedicated entirely to shopping.

"Welcome to the Mall!"

"Holy..." Alice drifts off, her eyes wide. She hesitates to say this (because it might hurt Paris' feelings D:!!) but, "It's better than France!"
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on December 19th, 2008 03:14 am (UTC)
"France is on Earth, right?"

Just checking. There are way too many countries on Earth to keep track of them all sometimes.

"Yes, I do a lot of my shopping there. They have a great underwear selection." Alice grins. "Oooh, Jenny, you're the best for bringing me here."
[identity profile] bitunlikely.livejournal.com on December 20th, 2008 02:44 am (UTC)
"I am?"

Jenny doesn't necessarily agree that bringing Alice shopping qualifies her as the best, but compliments still are nice.

"I thought this is the sort of things sisters do."
