this is awesome! Bella being brave and Alice desperate to know she's ok, so desperate she almost caused a war. their frantic reunion. Alice hugging the "dog" lol. Edward finally getting the picture. and probably Jasper too, although i feel sorry for him more than anything. he'll never be that close to Alice after all.

Bella was her mate.

i love that line! so possessive and definite, like that's the be all and end all. :D
