Gracefully walking between racks of dresses, skirts and jeans, Alice grimaced at Bella, who was beside her. Scanning the small choice of clothes there was, she grabbed a blue dress, the only thing that caught her eye. Much to her disappointment, the dress appeared to be a size too big for her.
"Bella?" - she called out, knowing her friend was somewhere on the other side of the racks trying to find something she would like. "Maybe you should try this! It is too big for me, but it would probably fit you!" Practically radiating with the desire to buy something for herself and her friend, or, soon to be sister, she grabbed a pair of jeans.
"Actually..."-she muttered to herself, unsatisfied with the clothes. "Maybe we could look for the wedding decorations now. The wedding is only in two weeks." She pointedly looked at the ring at Bella's finger, as if reminding her once again of the wedding and the extremely painful change that was to occur a short time from now.

ISABELLA marie SWAN {{Come Whatever, We'll Still Be Friends Forever}} t's what Bella and her best friend, Alice Cullen were doing on the day two weeks from the Wedding. Which Alice kept frequently reminding her. Not that she minded but it kind of made her nervous.
Until after Graduation, she had never really saw herself married. Okay, so she had but it wasn't like most girls did. Bella Swan wasn't much for parties so the huge wedding was a huge favor for Alice. Honestly, Isabella would've settled for getting eloped in Vegas at a Drive Through chapel. Amazingly, that was the original plan for the wedding. Her being comfortable in a pair of jeans and a nice shirt, maybe even sweats if Edward would allow it. Then they would go off and finish the rest of the compromise on her end. Oh how Bella couldn't wait for that night. The night when she would finally be Edward Cullen's. Forever and Always.
She was going to continue thinking but Alice's voice broke her thoughts. For which she was sort of dissapointed and thankful for. A small smirk crossed her face as she shook her head amused. Alice was bound determined on buying something for each of them. Espcially her as she loved to buy Bella clothes.
Bella looked over the rack at Alice with a dazed look and a smile placed on her face. "Huh? Oh right, try it on." But as Bella walked to the other side with Alice, the girl had changed her mind.
"Two weeks?!" Bella looked at Alice surprised. It was already Two weeks until the wedding?! When did time fly? How many nights had she been so involved with Edward that she completely let time slip away from her?
"Sorry." Bells apologized. " I just didn't realize the wedding was almost here already. And Alice, you don't have to buy a ton of stuff you know that right?" Bella smirked and crossed her arms over her chest so they weren't in her way. [/blockquote]

{{Excited}} Alice looked at her friends face quietly, throwing aside her usual self. Just a moment ago, it had been just the usual shopping trip of theirs. As usual, her thirst for shopping drove her to thoughtlessly scoop clothes of racks, try them on, and of course, buy them. She never had problems with fitting, except sizing. Usually, an average human transformed into a vampire looked beautiful to the human eye, while beautiful people like Rose turn into supernatural people that are beautiful even to vampires, who never pay attention to eachother's looks.
Shopping...Alice could see Bella's horrified expession at new clothes, make-up, everything. She couldn't help but be amused at her reactions for everythng, bizarre not just for a human, but for any species she knew. Smiling to herself, she thought that in a month, Bella will be under her control, with a new wardrobe, ready to spend time with her for a bigger amount of time, time she wastes on sleeping now.
Fast and graceful, she turned her head and tossed her hair to one side, then another. Looking at Bella again, she saw the dress fall out of her hands. In a fleeting movement, she was beside her, scooping it up and giving it back to her friend. "Two weeks?"
"Time flies fast for humans, don't forget that. Anyways, everything is ready. We just have to buy some more stuff and order the wedding cake. Then you will officially become Ms Cullen..." Alice's voice trailed off, as she imagined all the possibilities of having another sister. "Or are you worried about..." She didn't continue. There was no need. Bella was bound to remember who she was moving in with, and who she will be soon.

Bella grinned sheepishly at Alice as she picked up the dress she had dropped on the floor in shock. "Thanks." She managed to mutter as she looked at the bundle of clothes now in her arms. She hated it that the Cullens were spending so much money on her and her alone. But then again she was also relieved it was them and not her mother or Charlie doing it. Because then she'd feel guilty that they had spent so much much and then she'd dissapear with Edward soon after. There was no way she was going to spend a whole lot of time with them again until she had her temptations under control.
Bella shook her head out of her daze again and looked at Alice. "Thanks Alice. Edward and I owe you big." She smiled at her and laughed before hearing what she said next. "That sounds great..." She smiled as she looked down at her ring. Then she looked back up at Alice. " A little but I'm sure I'll be fine. I have you guys and Edward at my side. I just didn't realize that it was approaching so quickly. I mean, it seems like just yesterday we became engaged, and the night in the tent....Bell shook her head again at the thought of Jacob. No! She told herself. Don't think about him! But the wooden charm on her bracelet made it almost impossible to forget about him. Da*n Edward for making her keep the charm on.
"Alice I'm kind of worried. What if I'm not what Edward expects me to be? Like what if I'm a horrible wife and I'm not the girl he wants to be married to after all?" Bella bit her lower lip gently. She knew she was just being silly with those thoughts but she couldn't help it.

Dancing beside the racks, she sadly noted there were no more clothes even worthy looking at. Sighing, she followed Bella to the change rooms, waiting outside the door for her to show her new dress. A vision popped into her head, horrifying for a human, but normal for Alice, who had been waiting for this all along. She knew someday Edward would have enough courage to change Bella into one of them, one of the never aging, for them to be together for the rest of the eternity.
Closing her eyes, she looked deeper into her vision, ignoring her friend and the otherwise empty change rooms. Bella, wearing the same blue dress, looking as it had been made for the occasion, lay on the sofa in her room, a room she didn't yet know about. It was to be a surprise from the Cullen family, a room filled with things she liked and her belongings, bordering Edward's. The Cullen family sat beside her, all on chairs or on a couch opposite the sofa. Edward was beside her, just after a hunt. Everyone was quiet. In a few minutes, Edward smiled at his love and bent forward, to bite her wrist, releasing her a second later. Alice knew she was given pain relief, but it didn't seem to help as she thrashed and screamed in pain, the fire burning her blood and veins.
Snapping out of it, Alice felt like she simply couldn't look at it anymore. She might be able to block her vision, but she knew she will have to face it for the second time. Turning toward Bella, who threw questions at her, she started speaking quietly, hoping no one would hear them
"Again, time is fast for those who age. Once you marry him, you will forget about time for a while, but you will always remember your human moments..." She trailed off, remembering the way she didn't know anything about her past, glad Bella wouldn't have to face it.
"Forget about Jacob. He is a dog, and you are a human already. Soon, you are to be turned into a vampire, making him your enemy. You might have to fight him because of the truce, a fight where one of you might die. Since you're stronger, and have us at your side, I'm afraid it will be him." Her voice was harsh, holding no sympathy for someone of the enemy species. "But keep the charm. He is still part of your memories..."
Pacing backward and forward beside the change room, she answered her last question, which seemed silly to her. She never doubted her soul mate, ever since she saw him in her visions. Why would she, if she had no real life without him? "Bella, you have to understand.'-she started in a quiet, soft tone. "Edward is your soul mate, your true other half. You both had proven that a thousand times over. He will never find anyone else, for that is the man he is. And for the wife part...I was never a good wife to Jasper, don't you think?" Alice smiled, knowing she spent more time in malls and change rooms than talking to Jasper, but they still loved each other.

Still in deep thought, Bella led the way to the changing rooms with Alice behind her. If it wasn't for her she would most likely still be in jeans and a t-shirt. Her favorite combination. But to what had to be Edward's pleasure, Alice had changed that for her. And now she was wearing better looking clothes.
She was almost surprised that Alice hadn't thrown in a couple of lingerie items as she knew the deal between Edward and herself, with her special trait and all. But, Bella was kind of thankful. Though she would've laughed anyways and shook her head amused if Alice had.
Bella finally walked in and emerged a couple of minutes later wearing the dress that she had accidentally dropped on the floor. Then she realized that Alice was talking to her and she looked up. Her worries going away.
"Thanks Alice, I don't know what I'd do without you!" Bella smiled and pulled her future sister in law in a hug. Then she pulled back and shook her head. "No, I think you're a perfect wife for Jasper. I mean, you guys are soul mates too!" She kept her smile and nodded as she said to forget about Jacob. "I'm trying. It's just hard. Espcially with this charm on my bracelt. But everytime I look at that I quickly look to the one Edward gave me so I won't think about him too much."
Then the thought of something happening to Jacob made her eyes widen in fear. Jacob. No, nothing could happen to him. She would be a little depressed if it did. But, she knew nothing could be done if it happened. Still, she hoped it didn't come down to that.

Alice paced around the change room again, wondering what takes Bella so long. She probably dislikes the clothes, and the shopping trip altogether. Of course, the realisation wasn't news to anyone since her future sister hadn't even tried to cover her dislike for shopping and her distaste for style. Her style is jeans and a t-shirt, but I will improve that.
Finally, Bella emerged from the change room wearing the blue dress Alice gave her. She looked good in it, the dress matching her overall look. Still, as she looked at Bella, smiling at her, a shadow crossed her face, reminding her of her last vision. I wonder how soon that will happen... Her mind separated all her feelings and emotions into two categories. So far, the one for Bella's change was larger, and was winning. At the same time, Alice couldn't the thought of her friend's, best friend's, soon to be sister's pain.
"Jacob. Filthy dog." She muttered, too low for Bella to hear. If not for him, and if Edward stayed with Bella last September, she would not have to suffer though the thought of betraying him. Once or twice, the vampire had seen a vision of Bella, in tears, leaving Edward for Jacob. Not now, though. Now, there had to be only one path for Bella - marrying Edward and undergoing the transformation to a vampire. And then, probably fighting a pack of werewolves.
"You're welcome." Alice smiled before continuing with her speech. Wolves, in her opinion, were worse that even the dumbest humans. Maybe she was prejudiced against them, but she would never truly sympathize Bella. "You've got 2 weeks until the wedding. Three or four days after, when people will calm down after our party," She remembered the arrangements she made. her party will be the very best one Forks had seen for many years. Grandeur was the word for it.
"After that, there will be no charm, and no Jacob. Just your family, or us vampires, or your enemies. Werewolves, Jacob one of them. Of course, he might still love you, but hate emotions are strong for newborns. You will rip him and teh rest of his pack up before he says he loves you." Again, her tone was harsh. The only thing that lit up her beautiful face was teh angry spark in her eyes, meant both for Jacob, Edward and Bella. Of course, she wouldn't be mad at the last two for long, but the dog would certainly be entertaining to fight with.

"Jacob. Filthy dog."
Bella looked at Alice as she thought she heard her say something but she had no idea on what it was. And she wasn't going to try and figure it out. Because if Alice wanted her to hear she would've spoke loud enough for her. So Bella didn't even try. She simply shrugged it off and occupied herself by looking down at herself. Secretly, she was wandering if Edward would love the dress. Which led to thoughts of how long it would take Edward's perfect hands to.. Bella! Her voice mentally scolded her. Don't think those thoughts! Wait until after the wedding like the two of you guys compromised! Bella nodded and turned her attention back to Alice, hoping her face hadn't burned red when she was thinking.
"Party? No one said anything about a party." Bella smiled at her and crossed her arms over her chest being comfortable.
"After that, there will be no charm, and no Jacob. Just your family, or us vampires, or your enemies. Werewolves, Jacob one of them. Of course, he might still love you, but hate emotions are strong for newborns. You will rip him and teh rest of his pack up before he says he loves you."
Again Bella looked down at the floor. Jacob. She had fallen for him to. But not as much as Edward. Not to be harsh but, she could live without Jacob; and she was proving it, so far. But, she could not live WITHOUT Edward. He was her life, and soon to be lover. Bella sighed and sent a small glare for a second at Alice before she realized what she was doing. She wouldnt kill Jacob. Or his pack. They were his family like the Cullens' were hers. And nothing would change that. Espcially after the wedding.
The thought of the wedding brought a huge smile on her face as she thought about being Mrs. Edward Cullen. Then she looked back up at Alice, a feeling of joy and enthusiasm spreading through her. "Hey Alice, just out of curiosity, what's Edward's middle name?"

Alice smiled, dancing gracefully around Bella. Party, party, party! The thought swirled in her head, unable to go away. She couldn't wait to see the look on Bella's face when she saw the huge cake, the house decorated in pink roses and the number of guests invited. Of course, she probably wouldn't like it that much, but the vampire knew in twenty or thirty years her friend will thank her for the amazing celebration of her wedding. Alice grimaced quickly. Amazing simply didn't sound right for the party that included everyone in town.
She looked at Bella's face, which seemed happier now. Perhaps she will forget about Jacob, maybe even enough to join the battle which was to occur very soon. No, not her. Alice decided, frowning at the thought of Bella, having no fighting experience facing a pack of angry wolves. Of course, the vampires would most likely win, but they were not taking risks.
"Edward's middle name?" - Alice tried to remember, using her photographic memory to flashback a conversation in her memory. "My mothers name was Elizabeth Masen, and my dad's Anthony Masen. I was named Edward Anthony Masen, in honor of my dad." "He is Edward Anthony Cullen. But his last name was Masen before he..."-she stopped abruptly, deciding not to remind her friend once again about who they were.

Rosalie walked down the hall, too graceful for any human. Ten shopping bags from various stores swung in her left hand but she didn't feel their weight. A smile on her face, her gaze flitted from store signs to their window displays to the stunned faces of a few teenage boys standing outside a coffee shop. Might as well have a little fun, she thought and raised her hand in a small wave. She watched delighted as the boys whispered among themselves, then puffed out their chests and flexed their muscles. If only Emette could see them acting like that she giggled. He'd crush them. She held up her hand, showing them her wedding ring and all three teenage boys blushed in embarassment.
A wide grin spread across her face. Her and Emette had been married for years but she still loved the weddings. She laughed as she remebered Alice's face and Carlisle's sigh as he walked her down the aisle. Even Emette was getting tired of them but the love in his eyes as he said "I do" thrilled her every time. Rosalie turned into a shop that had had pretty dresses in the past and started to walk up and down the aisles.
"His name is Edward Anthony Cullen. But his last name was Mason before he..."
"...became a vampire" she whispered the last word. Having heard Alice, Rosalie had hurried into the close-by change rooms in time to finished her sentence. Unlike the other Cullens, she mentioned the word 'vampire' around Bella, hoping there was still some hope for her to stay human. I don't understand why Edward is so... protective around her anyway! She's survived everything fate has thrown at her and he still treats her like a fragile glass trinket.
