Chapter 1 – Speedy Invitations

"Alllliiiiiiiice..."

"Bella the invitations need to match the theme of the wedding!" Alice reminded her.

"Edward, help? Please?" Bella begged.

"Alice, do you think you can tone down the lace a little? This is Bella's wedding." Edward said looking at Alice.

"It's our wedding!" Bella reminded him attempting a strict glare.

"I thought you were the one who wanted an older fashioned wedding!" Alice noted, ignoring Bella's comment.

"Even though I wanted an older styled wedding, doesn't give you the right to go overboard with the lace and layers of useless paper," Edward said picking up an invitation.

"Fine then," Alice began. "Would you like to try making an invitation Edward?"

"No, that's why we hired you." He began. "Fine, we'll let you do your job, no need for the language Alice." Edward said listening to her thoughts.

Alice stuck her tongue out at him and turned to Bella. "What do you see in him?" she teased.

"Everything," Bella said moving closer to Edward on the couch, taking her hand in his. Edward gave it a nice squeeze.

"Is there anything else we need to discuss?" Edward asked Alice.

"Actually, yes, we need to discuss why you always seem to..." she was interrupted by the sound of laughing. Emmett walked in and all eyes turned to him. "What's so funny?" Alice asked.

"You," he said, going to sit next to her on the floor.

Edward started laughing with Emmett, "Yeah she is funny when she tries to get mad."

"Why you little...big..." Alice started, still steamed.

"Alice?" Bella asked, leaving the rest of Alice's thoughts to be heard by Edward once more. "Do you think we could put these flowers on the invitations instead?" Edward snickered in the background.

"Sure Bella! I really like these flowers too, I had a feeling..." Alice began talking to Bella which gave Edward some time to talk to Emmett.

"Excited?" Emmett asked.

"More than she is; I know that much." Edward replied glancing at Bella.

"Ah come on, she's crazy about you!" Emmett stated.

"Yeah, but she's not crazy about the wedding. I don't think she realizes how much this means to me… to us."

Emmett noticed the thoughtful look etched on Edward's face. "What are you thinking about?"

"The reaction I'm going to get when she finds out about my early invitation," Edward said in a low tone that no human could possibly hear.

"I see... the one to the dog," Emmett said with a smirk. "You did the right thing kiddo, I'm sure she'll appreciate it."

"I'm not so sure about that; she hasn't talked to him in a while. I just hope it won't cause a scene."

Edward turned toward Bella and Alice. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Picked the flowers yet, Bella dear?" He kissed her neck softly.

Bella felt the blood rush to her face, "umm...yeah… these ones right here." she said, holding up an invitation to him. "What do you think?"

"I think the flowers are beautiful. Just as long as they make you happy Bella love," Edward said kissing her neck right below her jaw. He chuckled softly, "Yes Emmett, I do notice how much she is blushing."

Emmett laughed his booming laugh and they all began to laugh with him. "So what's on the agenda today?" Alice asked after she stopped giggling.

"Is there anything specific that anyone wants to do? I really don't feel like sitting around talking about flowers and colors all day. No offense Alice." Edward said.

"None taken," Alice said, "I think we all need a break from all of this wedding planning."

"How about skydiving?" Emmett joked. Bella gulped at the thought.

"Oh sure, let's watch Bella jump out of a plane. Knowing her luck, her parachute won't even open." Edward said darkly, glaring at Emmett. In one quick motion he was in Emmett's face growling. "NO! That will not be funny!"

"Edward, please… you know he was just joking." Bella said tugging at his arm.

"Trust me, he was not joking."

Emmett's face turned very serious, "Now that's a low blow! Alice how long had that thought lasted in my head?" He asked looking towards the sight-seer.

"Long enough..." she said rolling her eyes. "He took it back though Edward, it was an honest mistake." Alice tried to make the atmosphere lighter, "Let's go shopping!!"

"No!" The three of them said in unison. "Don't you think we did enough shopping for a century Alice?" Edward asked rolling his eyes.

Alice pouted in defeat. "I am sorry to inform you Alice, but you do not hold Jasper's powers." Edward and Emmett laughed in unison.

"Did someone say my name?" Jasper asked at the top of the stairs.

"Alice was just talking about how she wanted to go shopping," Edward began to tell the tale, "and she tried to make us feel sorry for her, but she can't control us like you."

"Oh. Alice dear, I think we should relax a bit on the shopping. Once the wed..." Jasper was cut off with a stern look on Bella's face. "Well once the big event gets closer, you will have so much shopping to do."

"Exactly," Edward agreed.

Alice went over to her lover, and held him close. "Will you go with me then?" she smiled.

Edward started laughing, "Now Jasper, don't you think it would be a good idea to go with her. Don't you just love shopping with her?"

"What do we need to go shopping for?" Jasper asked pulling Alice closer.

Bella observed as Alice and Jasper got closer, she looked at Edward from the corner of her eye. I wonder if we'll be even closer than before after all of this is over. She sighed, and saw that he was looking over at her.

"Something wrong Bella dear?" Edward asked pulling her close to his cold, hard chest.

"What? Oh, n-nothing," Bella laughed the conversation away and looked back at Alice and Jasper.

"Fine, then it's settled, we'll go after they come back from their honeymoon! Doesn't that sound like fun Bella?" Alice asked, her voice was singing.

"Yeah Alice," she said half paying attention, "that sounds like fu- wait, did you just say honeymoon?!?!" she asked, her jaw dropping.

"ALICE!!!! I told you not to say anything!" Edward began yelling. "No, I will not forgive you!"

"Edward! You know I hate surprises!" Bella said, her eyes tearing up in anger.

"Thanks a lot Alice!" Edward said glaring at her. "Bella dear, just listen okay...I just thought that...you would want a honeymoon. It is what humans do after weddings."

"I don't want to have any more human experiences! I'm already having a wedding! And Edward, you already know what I really want after all of this," her tears were now streaming down her cheeks. Edward pulled her into a tight hug; a look of despair was in his eyes.

"You know… maybe we should go shopping..." Emmett said to the others, he got up and left. Two seconds later the roar of a Jeep, and reckless honking could be heard. "Hurry up, you guys!"

"I'm so sorry Edward… Bella…"Alice said looking at the two.

"Let's go Bella," Edward said grabbing her hand, ignoring Alice's apology.

He led her through the door of the house walking towards the Jeep, Alice and Jasper close behind.

"You can't ditch us that easily, of course we're coming" Edward said reading Emmett's mind, with a smile.

Bella paused. "Wait, what about Rosalie? Does she want to come?"

Emmett answered, "Oh, she's sleeping... come on."

Bella looked at him confused, she knew vampires couldn't sleep. "Oh come on Bella, just get into the Jeep" Edward chuckled, lifting her into the seat and taking the spot next to her. While Alice climbed into the other side of the Jeep next to Bella, Edward noticed Bella looking at all of the seat belts. As if reading Bella's mind, he turned to Alice saying, "Would you be so kind…?"

Alice's eyes widened while Edward placed an arm around Bella, laughing to himself. Emmett began a countdown from five while Alice began fumbling with the seat belts.

"5…" he said as he revved up the engine.

"Edward why is he counting?" Bella questioned.

"4…."

"What's going on Edward?!"

Edward chuckled as Emmett said, "3…."

"Alice…?" she whined desperately.

Click.

Emmett chuckled a "YES!", as he pounded the gas pedal, forcing Bella against her seat. The others seemed unfazed, as they were used to the speed.
