Fork, Washington. Christmas time, I love the spirit it brings, but not entirely the gifts it does. Snow and presents. Gosh, I hate the cold! Why move to Forks then? My mom got remarried and I shipped myself off to my dad so my mom and Phil (her new husband) could have some alone time. That alone time has been 2 years. I never moved back because I made the best friends ever possible. Alice Cullen, small and pixie like but loveable and very friendly, unfortunately she loves to shop, but I love her anyway. Rosalie and Jasper Hale, twins, both probably the prettiest people on this planet. Jasper is athletic and also Alice's lifetime boyfriend. Rose is one of the nicest people to meet, though she definitely has a personality and is not afraid to show it, and she is super smart. She is also a car freak; she loves it more than her boyfriend. Which brings us to Emmett Cullen, the scariest looking guy you will meet, but his looks don't count for his teddy bear like personality. He is also the brother of Alice (hence the last name).

All of these people are beautiful, especially Rose, which is one of the reasons people wonder why I am best friends with them. I am the plainest thing this world has to offer. Plain brown hair, brown eyes, and pale complexion, also I am the most clumsy person ever. But who cares when you have the best friends the world has to offer.

"Bella did I ever tell you about my brother?" Alice asked me as we sat down at our lunch table. I took a bite of my pizza before I answered.

"You mean Emmett?" I asked pointing to him. "No I don't think we've met, nice to meet you Emmett." I stuck my hand out and he shook it.

"Nice to meet you to Bella!" he laughed. Alice looked at him and he shut up

"Not the doofus, my other brother Edward." Alice said.

"Old Eduardo! The ladies man!" Emmett boomed. Rose slapped his head and told him to let Alice finish.

"He is not a ladies man, stupid. Anyway, I though I mentioned him to you." she continued.

"Hmm…. Nope, I don't recall you ever mentioning you having a brother, besides Emmett." I told her, taking another bite of my pizza.

"Well, anyway I have another brother Edward, but he didn't move with us from Alaska, he stayed with my grandparents. He is 18, just like us."

"So he is your twin?" I asked.

"No, Bella remember I was adopted. Anyway, so he is up in Alaska, and has been for the last 3 years. And guess what? My parents convinced him to come and live with us, so he can finish his senior year with us!" she finished with a big smile on her face.

"All right! That's awesome! Eddie gets to come to dreary Forks." Emmett laughed.

"So Alice, tell me why, after knowing me for 2 years, did you decide to tell me now that you have another brother?" I asked after I finished my pizza and started on the French fries I had picked up.

"Never came up." She just shrugged.

"Your right, it's my fault. 'Cause when meet someone I always ask them if they have another brother stashed away in Alaska. I guess I just forgot to ask you." I told her sarcastically.

"Your right Bella, next time remember." She teased back. We all laughed and then the bell rang, telling us to get to our next class quickly. I made my way to biology and sat down at my empty table. I was so glad that I didn't have a partner to sit by. The teacher came in and started teaching us about stuff. I wasn't paying attention, I was thinking about Edward, Alice's mystery brother. Before I knew it the bell rang and I headed to gym, the only class I had with Alice. I quickly changed into my gym outfit and found Alice sitting on the bleachers. She looked at me with a mischievous smile on her face.

"What's up Alice?" I asked carefully.

"Oh, nothing. Yet." She said and skipped over to the middle of the gym with Jasper and I followed her.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Alice was asking Jasper.

"Might cause you pain, but yeah." He chuckled.

"She wouldn't hurt me, physically. She might scream, but that's all." She said.

"Who is she?" I asked her.

"Um... no one." She said. I was going to question her further, but Coach Clapp came out and started ordering everyone to do stuff. Today girls were doing volleyball and guys were doing basketball. I followed Alice and tried lamely to play. After an eternity the bell rang and I went to change, and then met Alice at her car. She still had that grin on her face.

"What's up?" I asked her, again.

"I signed Edward up for the Christmas talent show." She said, though I knew that wasn't the only thing.

"Your poor brother hasn't even gotten here and you already have him signed up for something?" I asked, feeling bad for Edward.

"He won't mind, he is talented in many musical departments." She said, still wearing that smile.

"And what else?"

"And I signed you up to sing." She said quickly.

"You did what!?" I almost yelled at her.

"Well you have a beautiful voice and I thought you should share it with the world, or at least Forks." She said calmly.

"Alice I can't believe you did this. I can't sing I can't do this talent show. I will embarrass myself in front of everyone." I panicked.

"Hush up! You have a couple weeks to practice. And don't worry, you have a partner. I signed Edward up to sing with you." she said.

"Alice…." I said shaking my head.

"That's my name, don't wear it out!" she said and hopped into her car. "Come on, we have to pick out a song for you to sing." She honked her horn and I got in the car. So that was what she was thinking about during gym. We made it to my house, only for me to find out that Emmett, Rose, and Jasper all waiting for us. We went up to my room and started brainstorming song ideas.

"Does it have to be Christmas?" I asked.

"Yes, that's why it's called a 'Christmas' talent show." Alice answered.

"Then what will I sing?" I asked.

"That's why we are here Bella." Alice said.

"Jingle Bells!" Emmett boomed.

"No. it has to be a duet."

"What about that one that goes "baby its cold outside"?" Alice asked.

"Isn't that a love song?" I asked.

"Yes."

"And don't people who are usually in love sing that song?"

"Good point." She said.

"Joy to the world"

"Hark the herald angels sing."

"What if you guys do a solo then do a duet? Could Alice sign you up for something like that?" Rose asked.

"What do you mean?" Alice asked.

"You sign them up for a solo, so the crowd hears how great they are separately. Then sign them up for a duet so the crowd knows how great they sound together." She explained.

"Why do that? That means I have to sing more!" I whined.

"But Bella! There are so many solo's you could sing!" Alice begged.

"No!"

"Please!!"

"No!"

"Please! I will let you dress yourself for it!" she said.

"Are you sure you're Alice?" I asked, slowly.

"Yes, ding dong! Who else could I be?"

"I don't know."

"Please Bella!"

"Why are you so into this?" I asked.

"Cause, Edward is coming and he will need some friends. And there is no one better than you!" she smiled and gave me a hug.

"And she wants to set you and Eddie up!" Emmett loudly mumbled.

"Shut up Emmett! No I don't, at least not yet!" Alice spat at him. "Please Bella!"

"Alice!"

"What?" she asked.

"I don't even know your brother and you already want to set us up?" I couldn't believe her!

"I said not yet. Geez…." She mumbled. "I know you will like him anyways."

"You don't know that." I told her.

"Whatever you say. So will you do it?"

"No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"Fine." I sighed.

"Yay! Thank you so much!"
"I get to dress myself though." I told her.

"Of course Bella. Now get stuff ready we are going to have a sleepover tonight." She grabbed a bag and stuffed some clothes in it. We headed to her car, well Alice, Rose, and I did, and the guys took Emmett's jeep. Alice invited them over for a bit.

"Alice, when does Edward get here?" I asked as she drove, madly.

"Sometime tonight or in the morning." She told me turning into her drive way.

"And you don't want to go to the airport to meet him?" I asked, grabbing my bag.

"He is just my brother, its not like I won't see him again."

"But you haven't seen him in 3 years!"

"Yes I have, I visit him every summer." She said, like it was obvious.

"And not once, did you think to mention to me, before lunch today, that you happen to have a brother in Alaska?"

"As I said before, didn't come up. He isn't that amazing."

"You know I still don't understand your crazy mind, but…. whatever you say." I said as we walked up to her room.
