I had fun with this story... Edward had to do something out of ordinary for once.

I opened my window. "Edward?"

I felt something cold slip around my waist and jumped. I must have fainted being as the next thing I knew, I was in my bed.

"Bella." Edward was by my side the second I began to move again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you-"

"Stop that, please," I said. "I'm fine. Don't be sorry, I should have seen it coming."

"-I need to be more careful," he went on.

"Any more careful and I'll be living in a plastic bubble," I muttered darkly.

He laughed. "With your luck the bubble would only last a few hours."

"So let's not get one," I said.

He lay beside me. "I'd rather we didn't. I like being able to do some things." He kissed my neck and then drew back. Then he…well, he fell off of the bed.

I didn't see that coming. Maybe me, but Edward? Any vampire, for that matter. I started to giggle.

Then I was on the floor.

"Oh!"

"What's going on up here?" Bella, I thought I heard a boy, and then I heard that noise." Charlie looked around the room until he finally found me and then grinned, concern gone. "Did you fall off of your bed?"

I blinked. "Uh, yeah, I must have fallen asleep on the edge while I was reading. I'm awake now though." I frowned at the indignity.

Charlie laughed. "Be careful. Remember that monster you swore was living under your bed? He might have grabbed you," he teased. "Later, Bells."

He closed the door and was down the stairs before something grabbed my wrist from under the bed. Being as Charlie had the TV on really loud, he didn't hear me scream.

The long white fingers released me and Edward sat before me, laughing and grinning like an idiot. "You were afraid of monsters until you were eleven?"

"My monsters used to be scary."

"And they aren't now?" he asked.

"Nope."

"They should be." He looked haunted for a moment before smiling again. "Would you like to spend the day with Alice tomorrow?"

"Are you hunting?"

"Yes. She's really hoping you will agree to staying the weekend, though," he said.

"That's-"

His cell phone rang. He answered it. An amused look entered his eyes. He closed the phone. "She looks forward to seeing you. She's calling right now to ask Charlie."

Sure enough, the phone rang. Charlie answered and then just after Edward left and I sat on the bed, he was knocking on my door.

"Yes, Dad?"

He opened the door. "Alice called. She wanted to know if you could spend the weekend over there. I said it was okay and so she is on her way to pick you up. Edward won't be there. He and the boys are going camping today and tomorrow. You should pack."

When he left, I pulled an overnight bag from under my bed. I stuffed it with a couple of sets of clothes and my toiletries before zipping it shut. A horn sounded and I ran down the stairs.

"Bye, Dad, see you Sunday," I called.

"Bye, Bells, have fun."

I hurried out the door to find Edward's Volvo parked in front of my house.

I opened the door to find Alice sitting in the driver's seat.

"Come on, Bella, we have things to do," Alice said happily.

"I take it you have another list," I said warily as I climbed into the front seat.

"It's all up here," she said, tapping her temple. She took off as soon as I was buckled in.

I played with the strap of my bag while I looked out the window.

"He's already there. Evidently, he has things to do," Alice commented mysteriously.

My brow furrowed. "Like what?"

She looked too innocent. "Alice, what's going on?"

She smiled. "Nothing."

We pulled up to the house and got out of the car.

Alice grinned when we reached her room. "You know that jacket Edward gave you?"

"The motorcycle jacket?"

"Yeah." She giggled. Something about that giggle said Edward didn't tell her about it.

I blushed. "What about it?"

"I made a few renovations."

She walked across her huge room, over the plush green carpet. She picked up a black leather heap from the bed and held it up.

"Put it on," she said, now by my side. She put it on me and stood me in front of the mirror. "It looks good."

It did look good. And I had been wrong about the color. It had been dyed a very, very dark blue. It was fitted. It had a belt around the waist and the zipper went to my collar before some snaps that would bring the collar around my neck. It was less bulky with all of the protection. Best of all, I could move a little in it.

"And a few more things," Alice said. She took the jacket off of me and placed it on the bed again. She picked up something small and leather, still the same dark blue.

I scowled. "I'll never fit into those."

She smirked. "You'll fit perfectly.

I backed against the door as she advanced. "Alice!"

She pouted. "Bella, please?"

Great. She's almost as good as Edward at getting me to do things.

"Fine."

I removed my jeans and Alice impatiently put the leather pants on me.

She was right, of course. The pants fit me perfectly and tightly. She wrinkled her nose. "That shirt has got to go." She picked up a faded black top. "I'm usually opposed to worn shirts, but for this look…"

Being as I had no choice, I pulled my shirt off and put on the one she gave me.

The top was ripped across the midsection and just above my chest, just missing the ACDC logo.

Alice sat me on the bed and pulled my hair back into a ponytail. And then she put me into some cute not-to-high-but-still-deadly biker chick boots. Lastly the jacket. She left it sipped halfway with the buckle done.

"Would you like him here, or would you like to go up there?" she asked eagerly.

"Uh-."

She moaned at my delay and before I could argue, I was in front of his door with nowhere to go. I scowled. "Alice!"

My mistake. Edward, one arm halfway into his shirt and his hair still dripping wet from his shower, walked out. "Bella, what's…" he trailed off.

I blushed deep crimson as his eyes trailed down to take in the outfit. When they reached the boots her raised his eyebrows.

Alice was beside me again.

"Is that the jacket I gave you?" he asked.

"I dyed it blue and fixed it for her," Alice said.

"Thanks." He was looking at the boots in amusement.

"You're welcome," she said. "See you tomorrow, Bella." She started to walk away and stopped. "I think you might want this." She handed me my things and left.

"Did I miss something?" I wondered out loud.

"She just wanted to show off, I think," Edward explained. He bent down to my ear as he brought me into his room and arms. He closed the door. "This is an interesting look," he whispered.

"You don't like it?" I asked, feeling very self-conscious. I fingered his wet hair nervously. It was still warm from his shower.

Edward nuzzled my neck. "I said it was interesting. Sexy, even." He took my things and set them aside. "Isn't the jacket a bit warm?"

"A little," I said.

He unbuckled the jacket and pulled down the zipper, then pulled the jacket off and reached around me to set it on the couch. His skin pressed to mine briefly and my heart speed up.

"Alice outdid herself this time," Edward said, fixing his shirt.

"Just a little." I was wrapping my arms around my middle to cover up the shredded places. "I think I should change."

"Why's that?" His eyes skimmed the ripped part above my chest. Edward removed my arms carefully. He grinned. "That's more skin than I'm used to."

"That's why I want to change," I muttered. "I'm used to less skin."

Edward left the room, turning out the lights on his way. And then I couldn't find my night things. Alice must have taken them.

And then she was at the door.

"She forgot to bring her night clothes?" Edward asked.

"Edward, let me in," she ordered.

"Fine," he said.

Alice walked in and grinned. "Here." She tossed a dark blue silk nightgown to me. "Put it on."

"Oh, I almost forgot." She started to hum something as she handed me a pair of dark blue lace underwear.

I snorted and she glared. "My way or you go naked."

I stripped grudgingly down to nothing and pulled on the lacy undergarments. Then I pulled on the extraordinarily short and low-cut nightgown. Alice picked up my other close.

"Alice, what am I going to do, go naked tomorrow?" I demanded.

She shrugged. "That or let me dress you."

I sighed.

She left the room and I sat on the bed. A knock on the door caught my attention.

"Bella, are you done? Alice stole your clothes, by the way." Edward opened the door fractionally.

"I'm done," I said. I was already blushing. "And I know."

He stepped in, closed the door and turned to face me.

If you would care to see the next chapter, let me know... I need at least five reviews. I had much more fun with the next than this one.
