Chapter 1: Plans

It was a week before Christmas, and I had to get all my Christmas shopping done. I had insisted that no one get me presents but I knew that that wasn't going to happen. So I decided that I should go shopping and buy all the Cullens gifts. At that moment I heard the doorbell ring. I went downstairs to answer it. I opened the door and saw an overexcited pixie standing there.

"Bella!" she squealed.

"Hi Alice, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Where's Charlie?"

"He's in the living room why?"

And without answering me, she went to the living room.

"Hello Charlie." She said happily. Luckily Charlie approved of Alice. She pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket which seemed like tickets.

"Here you go! It's an early Christmas present. It is a 2 week fishing trip for you and someone else you would like to go with. It's a ticket to different lakes and campsites."

"Well Alice, that is very generous of you and your family. But I can't leave Bella here alone for Christmas."

"She can stay at my house. I already asked my parents and they would be more than happy to have Bella with us this Christmas" She explained happily.

"Well I really wish I could accept this and go on the trip, but I'm afraid I have to work." he replied unhappily.

"I already made arrangements for you at work, you leave tomorrow, on the 23rd and get back on January 6th. You return to work on January 8th."

"Thank you very much Alice. Bells do you mind if i go?"

"Not at all dad. Just have fun."

"Where will Bella sleep exactly?" asked Charlie.

"She will be on the second floor in the guest bedroom"

"And where is Edwards bedroom?" Typical Charlie, I thought to myself.

"He is on the third floor along with the rest of the boys."

"Alright then, guess I better go pack" Charlie said, with a smile on his face.

Once he got upstairs, I turned to Alice and thanked her.

"I'm taking you shopping tomorrow by the way."

"Well I need to do my Christmas shopping anyways so sounds good to me." That is the first and 1st time I will probably say that. And with that i went to pack for my stay with the Cullens.
