Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, obviosly. If I did, do you really think I'd be writing fanfictions about it instead of another book? And the personal lab rat thing was said by my friend, so I give her credit for that. And the story was kind of her idea, as well. She was dying her hair at the time, or we were talking about it, or something like that. Well, either way.

"Edward, please!" Bella yelled from the room that she was locked in.

"What?" Edward called. She could tell he was smirking at her reaction.

"Don't you dare come any closer to me!" She yelled.

"Why not?" He asked, walking closer to the door. She could hear him so well, even with his light footsteps. Then he knocked so lightly, she wasn't sure if she had really heard it.

"Back away!"

"What's wrong?" He asked, still obviously smirking.

"Don't let her come near me!" Bella yelled.

"Aww, why not?" Alice asked, hurt. "That hurts, Bella, right here." Alice stated, pointing to her hea- where her heart would be.

"It's that bad!" Bella cried.

"It can't be!" Edward called to her through the door.

"It is!"

"Fine, just let me in!" Alice stated.

"Fine, but no Edward!" She knew there would be no convincing them entirely, so why not compromise?

"But I-" Edward began.

"NO!" Bella yelled.

"Fine…" Edward said as Bella opened the door slightly for the tiny Alice to squeeze through.

"Wow…" was all Alice said.

"Shut up! I know!"

"No, it's not that bad! We'll just have to fix it…"

"How?"

"Going to a hair salon!"

"Oh, God!" That's right. Bella dyed her hair. Well, attempted to dye it. It didn't work well. Instead of her brunette hair, it's was now cotton-candy blue.

"Why did you dye it anyway?" Alice asked, as if she didn't already know from Edward's power of hearing her thoughts.

"As if you don't already know!" Bella cried. Even though Edward couldn't read her mind, he read Charlie's and everyone else's minds that saw her.

Alice smirked. "I want to hear it in your own words."

"Charlie was out for the night and I got bored. Well, I always wanted blue hair…"

"Why?"

"Um… I have no clue…?" Before Bella could even move, there was a flash in her face, as Alice took her picture with a digital camera.

"ALICE! Delete that, NOW!" Bella screamed.

"Hm… nope! Now, let's go get this fixed!" Alice replied chipperly.

"…Fine. But we are not going shopping!"

"Oh, yes, we are!"

"I am not being your personal lab rat again!" Bella shuddered at the memory of prom.

"Too bad!" Alice laughed. There was no getting out of this now.

"Just make sure Edward can't see me! Please!" Bella begged. This would be fun.

"Alright, alright. Edward, get out!"

Edward mumbled something that Bella couldn't hear, but Alice did. "What? You shut up! It's your fault! Maybe if you weren't so-"

"What?" Bella asked, interrupting Alice. "What's his fault?"

"Nothing." Alice replied quickly.

As they were walking out to Alice's car, they saw Emmett. There was no way that by the time she got to the mall, the whole house wouldn't know from either seeing her or Edward.

"What did you do to your hair, Bella?" Emmett asked, laughing.

"Shut… up…" Bella replied. "I know how bad it looks. I don't need to hear it again!"

"How can I, while I'm looking at that! What did Edward say?"

"He didn't see it!" Bella was now blushing furiously from her embarrassing hair dye. "Nor will he ever!"

"Psh, yes he will!" Alice stated.

"No, he won't. You'd better delete that picture now!"

"Good thing, too! Now, where are you taking her, Alice?"

"To get this fixed." Alice replied. "And shopping!"

"Good luck, Bella. You'll need it." Emmett laughed as he started to walk away slowly. Well, slowly for a vampire. But he was still too fast for a human to even begin to compare to it.

"I know. Thanks." Bella replied dully. "I do NOT want to go shopping!"

"Too bad! Well, come on! Let's go!" Alice whined.

"Fine." Bella replied as they got into the car.

The 4 hour car ride to the Northgate Mall took less than half an hour. Bella spent the time trying to fix the hat on her head so on one could see her hair when they got there. Alice was chatting away happily about what she was going to buy Bella, while Bella told her she would buy nothing for her. They fought about that for the whole ride there.

"Here we are!" Alice called excitedly as she parked the car and stepped out. As soon as Bella was out, they walked to the entrance, Alice at human pace, so they didn't attract any other unwanted attention.

"Oh, God, please don't let it be them!" Bella whined out loud, looking at the ceiling as she saw two people she thought she might know… and hoped that she didn't.

"Who?" Alice asked. "Where?"

"Those two, right there!" Bella cried, pointing to the two figures walking towards them.
