Forks, Washington, United States of America:
Alice suddenly found herself, in one of the times she enjoyed most. In an open field, thunderstorms rumbling in the air, and with her family, playing baseball. But, somehow, this was different.
Usually, her focus would be on the game. Making the next pitch, swinging at the ball, fielding a ball hit her way, observing whoever was on her team batting. And occasionally, a wink, or a kiss blown, towards Jasper. Or receiving one of those thrown her way. But this time was different. Another high school life story played out in her mind. A memory of a prom night gone wrong. A memory of a prom night gone right.
And, a guy named Simon Black.
She called a halt to the game, as she held the ball in her glove at the pitcher's position.

Jasper ran over to her. Actually, the entire Cullen family ran over to her. "What's wrong Alice?", Edward asked. He looked at her. "You look like you've... how can I explain it... played out another story somehow, in your mind, recently. Are you all right?" Jasper looked surprised at Edward's assessment. "Really", he said. He kissed Alice on her cheek, and said, "if you're not up to it, you can decide to stay out of the game. No worries, maybe we should have you checked if somehow, something happened to you that you don't know about."
Alice thought it over. There was a boy who could not decide to stay out of the game, and in his honor, and the honor of all the other brave students at Midwich, she decided to play on. And she knew all about what happened to her despite Jasper's guess.
"Let's play ball", Alice said, as her thoughts went out to Simon Black, as the Cullens quickly went into position. She whispered to herself. "Wherever you are Simon, Anna still loves you. This first pitch is in honor of you. Fight on with honor, my brave prom date."
