It's quite funny, I first wasn't planning on reading 'Midnight Sun' because Edward isn't really my favorite character. But I was really bored and decided to read it.
My favorite characters are Alice and Jasper and the things the chapters or sentences that were about them, I really liked that in 'Midnight Sun' Also i thought even though Edward isn't my favorite character he was very good in it.

Now about Alice and Jasper

this moment shows that Jasper is really struggling to keep his thirst under control. I feel really sorry for him. With this part of the book (or draft version of it) Stephenie Meyer showed that.

Here's the part of the book:

If Rosalie's mind was a shallow pool, then Emmett's was a lake with no shadows,
glass clear.
And Jasper was...suffering. I suppressed a sigh.
Edward. Alice called my name in her head, and had my attention at once.
It was just the same as having my name called aloud. I was glad my given name
had fallen out of style lately--it had been annoying; anytime anyone thought of any
Edward, my head would turn automatically...
My head didn't turn now. Alice and I were good at these private conversations.
It was rare that anyone caught us. I kept my eyes on the lines in the plaster.
How is he holding up? she asked me.
I frowned, just a small change in the set of my mouth. Nothing that would tip the
others off. I could easily be frowning out of boredom.
Alice's mental tone was alarmed now, and I saw in her mind that she was
watching Jasper in her peripheral vision. Is there any danger? She searched ahead,
into the immediate future, skimming through visions of monotony for the source
bhind my frown.
I turned my head slowly to the left, as if looking at the bricks of the wall,
sighed, and then to the right, back to the cracks in the ceiling. Only Alice knew I
was shaking my head.
She relaxed. Let me know if it gets too bad.
I moved only my eyes, up to the ceiling above, and back down.
thanks for doing this.
I was glad i couldn't answer her aloud. What would I say? 'My pleasure'? It
was hardly that. I didn't enjoy listening to Jasper's struggles. Was it really
necessary to experiment like this? Wouldn't the safer path be to just admit that he
might never be able to handle the thirst the way the rest of us could, and not push
his limits? why flirt with disaster?
It had been two weeks since our last hunting trip. That was not an immensely
difficult time span for the rest of us. A little uncomfortable occasionally--if
a human walked too close, if the wind blew the wrong way. But humans rarely walked
too close. Their instincts told them what their conscious minds would never
understand: we were dangerous.
Jasper was very dangerous right now.
At that moment, a small girl paused at the end of the closest table to ours,
stopping to talk to a friend. She tossed her short, sandy hair, running her fingers
through it. The heaters blew her scent in our direction. I was used to the way that
scent made me feel--the dry ache in my throat, the hollow yearn in my stomach, the
automatic tightening of my muscles, the excess flow of venom in my mouth...
This was all quite normal, usually easy to ignore. It was harder just no, with
the feelings stronger, doubled, as I monitored Jasper's reaction. Twin thirsts,
rather than just mine.
Jasper was letting his imagination get away from him. He was picturing it--
pictureing himself getting up from his seat next to Alice and going to stand beside
the little girl. Thinking of leaning down and in,as if he were going to whisper in
her ear, and letting his lips touch the arch of her throat. Imagining how the hot
flow of her pulse beneath the fine skin would feel under his mouth...
I kicked his chair.
He met my gaze for a minute, and then looked down. I could hear shame and
rebellion war in his head.
"Sorry," Jasper muttered.
I shrugged.
"You weren't going to do anything," Alice murmured to him soothing his chagrin.
"I could see that"
I fought back the grimace that would give her lie away. We had to stick together
(...) "It helps a little if you think of them as people," Alice suggested, her high
musical voice too fast for human ears to understand, if any had been close enough
to hear.

→ This showed how difficult it is for Jasper.
It also shows us that Alice and Edward always
help that. The others help him too, but mostly
Alice and Edward because of their gifts.

-------------------------------------------------

Another part in this book, is about their relationship.

Here's the part:

Though Rosalie and Emmett were more flagrant about their relationship, it was
Alice and Jasper who knew each other's every mood as well as their own. As if they
could read minds, too--Only just each other's

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Personally i think that they're a very very very cute couple. They're made for each other.

--------------------------------------------------

Another part in the book is that you can see that Jasper really takes care of Alice and helps her. it's not a big part, but it's sweet really.

Here's the part:

"It's going to be okay," Alice breathed. Her eyes were unfocused, and Jasper had one
hand lightly under her elbow, guiding her forward as we walked into the rundown
cafeteria in a close group.(...)
She blinked once as Jasper helped her into her seat, and her eyes finally focused
on my face.

--------------------------------------------------

The next part in Midnight Sun that is about Alice and Jasper is quite funny. I'll let you read it first, and ten give you my opinion.

Here's the part:

She grinned. "No, I missed that one, too. Wish I'd known. I would have come."
"What were you concentrating on, that you missed so much?"
Jasper's thinking about our anniversary. She laughed. He's trying not to make
a decision on my gift, but i think i have a pretty good idea...

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

it's short, but I liked this moment. To me it looks like Jasper really wants to give her everything and wuold really like to surprise her for once, even though it's almost impossible. But no matter what Alice will love everything that Jasper would giver her.

-------------------------------------------------

Another part in this books is about Jasper, it kind of shows that he's very good at fighting.

Here's the part:

"No one said you had to fight your food."
"Yeah, but who else am i going to fight with? You and Alice cheat, Rose never
wants to get her hair messed up, and Esme gets mad if Jasper and I really go at it."
(said by Emmett)

This were a few moments from the draft version of the book 'Midnight Sun', and my opinion...

What did you think of the these moments?
