Chapter 1: Bella Needs What?

Bella's POV

One morning in the Forks High School parking lot . . .

"Bella! Bella! Bella!!! BellaBellaBellaBellaBella!!! BELLA!!!!!!!!" Alice screeched running toward us as Edward helped me out of my truck.

"What's wrong!?" I asked panicking a little. I lowered my voice, "Is the Volturi coming?" I whispered.

She giggled and cocked her head. "No silly. After school, we"re going. . .shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What? I grimaced, "Don't we always? And why are you so hyper?"

'Because we aren't just going to Seattle, we're going to the Mall of America!!!!!"

"Why - "

"Because there's a Lens Crafters there."

"And - "

"You need glasses."

"Excuse me?"

"Glasses. G - L - A - "

"I heard what you said. But I don't need glasses."

"Really," she raised her eyebrows and then danced gracefully to the other side of the parking lot. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

I squinted at her mildly blurry figure standing some 40 yards away. Hmmm. Maybe I did need glasses. "Seven?" I guessed.

"Wrong!" she said suddenly next to me. I hadn't even seen her move. "We'll have fun, I can see it." She giggled, kissed me lightly on the forehead and skipped off to first period. I turned to glare at Edward who had been watching the whole ordeal with a slightly bemused expression on his face. Now that we were done he began guiding me to our own first period class.

He cleared his throat. "Well, I think you'll look beautiful in glasses," he said trying to comfort me.

"It's not the glasses I'm worried about, Edward. It's the fact that we're going to a really, really, really, really, really, really, really big mall. With Alice." He looked a bit worried now too. "She's going to end up purchasing the entirety of Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and Macy's all within two hours."

Alice was sitting in the front seat of Carlisle"s Mercedes driving and singing to her unbeating heart"s content. Edward and I were in the backseat. We were almost to the Minnesota border when I realized something.

"Alice, what am I going to tell Charlie when I come home tonight with glasses?"

"Don't worry, Bella. I talked to him a few weeks ago. Except I told him we were going to the Lens Crafters in Seattle. He said it was fine."

"You talked to him a few weeks ago?"

"Yep. When I first had the vision. You didn't expect me to be able to call this morning for an appointment? They don't normally do that, you know." She said this like it was the most obvious thing in the world. I looked up at Edward.

"So you get an eye appointment for me and refrain from telling me until the day of the appointment? Genius idea, Alice. Absolutely brilliant." I mumbled sarcastically as I snuggled closer into Edward's chest.

Twenty minutes later . . .

"We're heeere!!" Alice sang as we pulled into the parking garage. "This is going to be sooooo much fun," she gushed. "Okay, so first we'll stop by Lens Crafters for the checkup, and then we'll go to the aquarium, and then we'll go to the LEGO place, and then we'll go on the amusement park rides . . ." she trailed off. "AND THEN WE'LL GO SHOPPING!!!!!" she screamed.

The three of us walked from the parking garage (luckily it was a really cloudy day) into the mall and I was completely blown away. Everything was so . . . big . . . and shiny.

"Come oooonnnn Belllllllllaaaaa," she whined, "Youre going to miss you're appointment." And with that, she dragged me all the way to Lens Crafters, Edward not far behind.

She pulled me all the way up to the reception desk and flashed a blinding smile at the poor young man sitting behind the desk. "We have an appointment for Isabella Swan with Doctor Jeffery for 5:45." she told him. He blinked a few times at the stunningly beautiful woman talking to him. And then he nodded and searched the computer for my name.

"I got it," he said not taking his eyes off Alice, "you can go sit over there in the waiting room."

We walked over to the chairs and waited for Dr. Jeffery.
