Chapter 1 – 57 Pairs of Shoes

Since I have become a vampire, I've become much more graceful than when I was human. I don't fall over flat surfaces anymore. So I decided to try something that I never thought I would never do in my life.

Dance.

It was more or less Alice's idea. I had my reservations at first but of course Alice got me to do it anyway.

She actually guilt me into it.

"C'mon Bella, we're sisters. You're not supposed to make me do this by myself."

"I don't know Alice, I'm not the most graceful, you know that."

"Bella you weren't the most graceful, as in past tense. Meaning, not anymore, and besides, you can't break anything except for the furniture now."

She did have a point but so many different images shot through my head.

Me, falling on my face and causing an indentation In Esme's floor.

Breaking one of Esme's expensive glass tables.

Me accidentally kicking someone, in the face .

Emmett having another reason to make fun of me.

The bets that my family would have.

And so many more.

I groaned but of course gave in to Alice.

We even had stretching classes. Yeah I know, we're vampires, we don't need to stretch. But going along with it is much better than arguing with Alice.

She says it helps for when we actually start dance so I don't jump through the floor. Literally.

She once told me a story about her trying to teach Jasper ballet. He was doing a grande jete and literally fell through the floor. He forgot to keep his strength in mind. Esme was not happy about that one.

I tried to picture what the hell a grande jete was when Alice told the story. Once I found out it made the story even more hilarious. Especially because I pictured Jasper in a pink tutu with tights.

And because I felt the need for a little revenge on him I actually bought him a pink tutu with tights. He swore to never use his powers to manipulate my emotions while playing games ever again.

We've been practicing for a few months.

I didn't fall or put an indentation in the floor. That would have been extremely embarrassing since I'm a vampire.

One of Esme's glass tables was busted because I finally did fouttes without damaging a pair of shoes. And twirled into the table.

Emmett started making a tab of how much money I owed for all the damage. He said I had all of eternity to pay it off and the interest was going to be a bitch.

I did actually accidentally kick Rose. She stopped dancing with us after that one.

Emmett won large amounts of money on a weekly basis. He said he would subtract it from my tab. It left 25 dollars. They never did tell me what the exact number of my tab was. Only that it was 9 figures.

And 57 pairs of pointe shoes later I kind of got the hang of not breaking furniture or indenting floors.

"Bella, how come you don't let Edward watch you dance?"

"I don't know Alice. I just can't let him see me be bad at something."

"Bella, he fell in love with you while you were human. I don't think this would cause him to love you any less, if that was even possible. And you're good."

"I just need to practice more."

"Bella you love this. I know. I can see it on your face when we dance together."

I do love to dance. It's not just pointe. Alice has taught me every style so far. But pointe is my favorite. I think it's because I thought I would never be able to do it. I mean I would have broken both my ankles at the same time if I even tried to do it as a human.

"Okay, how about this. If you last an entire pointe class without breaking anything, you have to show Edward. And I'll know if you plan to screw up on purpose."

She tapped her head at the last sentence. Dang pixie fortune teller.

Do I want Edward to see me dance? A part of me did because he loved me no matter what. And he just wants to see me happy. So I guess I could.

"Okay Alice."

She started jumping up and down and screaming. Then she stopped and her eyes glazed over and she was concentrating very hard for a few minutes.

A vision.

She came back to the present after a couple of moments. And was grinning like the chesire cat.

"What did you see Alice?"

"Oh nothing Bella, just something Jazz will be getting me for Christmas."

For some reason I didn't believe her. Jasper would never make a decision until the last minute so he could keep it a secret from her. But again, you can't reason with Alice.

Five thousand echappes later, we began actual choreography. Who we would perform in front of I haven't had a clue.

A few hours later we decided to call it a day.

"So Bella, you didn't break anything at all today."

I had completely forgotten about the deal I made with her today. I was so concentrated on dancing I didn't even realize that I didn't break anything.

I guess I was going to have to show Edward that I can dance after all.

Great.

Alice didn't say when I had to show Edward. So I still had time to prepare.

**I guess we'll all have to wait and see how Bella will show off her newly aquired skills**
