Oh, my gosh! I was trying to fall asleep in bed last night, and I just started daydreaming! (Or night dreaming, whatever you call it...) Anyway, I wasn't asleep, but I just thought about what Edward was going to do about changing Bella. And... what would happen if something went horribly wrong. So, here are my thoughts.

Bella's POV

Edward was going to change me today! I couldn't deny the elation I felt, even though it was very scary, too. I jumped downstairs, in a europhic mood, and Edward frowned his disapproval. There was sadness in his eyes, and my aura was crushed immediately. I remembered: he didn't want to change me. I sighed.

"I'm sorry, love," he said to me. "I just... think you're better off human." He almost purred the words.

I half-smiled, and he frowned deeper. "I know you do. Which is precisely why I want you to change me." His brow furrowed, and I laughed. I laughed, and laughed, until they faded to giggles here and there. "I'm... sorry... I'm just... so... happy... today!" I forced the words out.

He took a deep breath. "Go get dressed, then. I'm sure you'll want to look good for your last day as a mortal." The corners of his mouth twirked up, and I thought he was going to smile -- but he didn't.

"Okay!" I was strangely beaming, and I knew that worried Edward. Maybe he would have me committed. I really hoped not.

Edward's POV

I was going to change Bella today. I was going to turn her into... some kind of a monster. It was so selfish, I couldn't believe I was doing it. But it was what she wanted... she had to be happy. She wouldn't be happy during those three days, though. She would be in pain. Worse than the worst pain you can think of. But if she was happy, it was worth it. I just hoped I didn't kill her first.

I got up from the sofa I was sitting on, and walked upstairs into my room. Bella was in there, getting changed, so I veered right, walking into Alice's room. She greeted me at the door by standing right behind it, her small, child-like face inches from mine. "Hi Edward!" she yelled in my face. I poked my ear.

"Ouch. You don't have to yell. I'm right here," I muttered sulkily. She seemed to assess my mood.

"Ugh. Come on, Eddie! You know this is what you've been waiting for! It's going to be great!" Of all the people to think of this as a happy occasion... and it had to be my one and only naturally-happy sister. The other sister was just... shiver.

She used my baby name, too. The one she uses when she wants something. "What is it, Alice?" I asked her, wanting to cut to the chase.

"Okay, I want some new hairspray, 'cause the other stuff is all out; I want a babydoll dress for Bella -- you know she has to look good; I want some hair curlers, since Rose took the last ones and buried them somewhere..." She rambled on about some toiletries that she wanted to make Bella the most beautiful human in the world before she was turned. I smiled mockingly all the while. Because after this, I knew she was going to be beautiful. She just wouldn't be my beautiful.

Bella's POV

Alice had dragged me off into her humungo bathroom to get ready. It wasn't that big of a deal -- I was going to be beautiful after this, anyways. What was the point? Ugh. No matter. All I cared about was my poor scalp. Alice was trying -- what I thought was unsuccessfully -- to comb through my tangles. Then she started putting the curlers in, then she put the goopy stuff in my hair, and then she blow-dried it. While the curlers were still in, she did my makeup. Then she held out an outfit, I wasn't sure what it was until I put it on, and told me to go get dressed. When I did, I figured out that it was a beautiful, electric blue, sparkling bubble dress with a tie at the back that made a poofy bow. It had a halter-like strap that came up around my neck and tied behind my neck. I had to admit, even with the threatening-looking high heels, I looked amazing. And it was all thanks to Alice.

"Now time to take out the curlers!" Alice rejoiced. As she did, my hair fell into mini-fans around me. It shined almost unbearably, and with the makeup, it complimented my eyes exquisetly. I was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

"Do you like it?" Alice whispered in my ear. I hadn't noticed that she was standing behind me, looking at me in the mirror the way I was.

My eyes almost teared up. "Of course, hon. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful. Thank you."

"You are so welcome. Come on. Let's go show Edward!"

I stumbled out into the hallway, almost tripping over my own feet with these ridiculous shoes on. But once I walked down the stairs, I felt like a princess. Everyone was staring at me. And instead of feeling embarrassed, I felt like I was on display at a fashion store, and I was happy. Because then I turned to face Edward. I could feel the overhead lights on me, and I knew my skin was glowing, the way it sometimes did in the light.

I smiled in that way I knew he just loved, and if he could have cried right then, I swear he would have. His eyes traveled up and down my body, so quickly I couldn't be sure he'd done it. Then he smiled, too, and I knew it was almost time. Almost time for him to change me, and for my dreams to come true. I just hoped my dreams weren't going to turn into a nightmare.

So, what did you think??? It is going to get a lot more exciting, I promise! Ugh, you know that feeling when you get a really good idea, and you just can't type fast enough? That's what I feel like right now!

I'll update ASAP!!! Well, maybe not, since I have school tomorrow, but still. Thanks for R & R ing!
