This is my first fanfic, so I hope you like it! Please read and Review, it would be very helpful!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own none of the characters... only my own plot... I wish i could write like Stephenie!

"Bella! Hurry up! We are going to be late!" It never ceased to amaze me how someone so small could be so annoying. Alice was whining at me from the other side of my bathroom door as I brushed my hair and put on just a touch of make up.

"I'm coming Alice… and we can't be late… We're watching a movie in your living room!" Leave it to Alice to overdramatize even a simple matter like a movie. She had come up with the idea of a Cullen movie night when I had said something about them never being all there at the same time. It was just a comment, not a complaint, but Alice had made it her mission to plan a date where everyone could be present.

"Regardless, I told Esme I would be back in twenty minutes," she paused and I assumed she was checking the time, "and it has already been sixteen! Besides, if we aren't back in the next five, Emmet and Jasper are going to find other ways to entertain themselves and Rose won't enjoy chasing them around the yard for her car keys."

I opened the door and smiled sheepishly, "How do I look?"

A look of concentration came over Alice and suddenly she frowned, "No no no no, that won't work! Didn't I tell you to wear the green sweater when I called?" Seemingly forgetting that we were going to be late, she zoomed to my side with inhuman speed and tugged at my sleeve impatiently, wanting me to take it off.

"I thought this one looked better… It pales me. I hate looking practically brown around you!" There I go again with my human issues, even though I was naturally light skinned, and there was almost never enough sun in Forks to tan me, I always looked like I had just gotten back from a tanning salon if I stood next to any of the Cullens.

"Bella, you will never be as pale as us, get over it…" She trailed off, thinking about what she had just said. "Oh, honey, that's not what I meant. I can still see it sometimes, so he is thinking about it. Just give it time, okay?" The topic of my changing seemed to be coming up more and more lately, and it always upset me. I refused to let it ruin the night though, and forced a smile.

"Can we just go?" My voice was quiet, and Alice looked ashamed. Trying to lighten the mood, I forced another smile. "If you don't let Edward see what we talked about in here, I will…." I sighed, knowing I would have to endure something horrible if I said it, "let you give me that manicure you have been bothering me about…"

A huge smile crossed her face, and she made a motion like that of a zipper across her lips, "My lips, and mind, are sealed." She hummed on our way down the stairs, obviously excited both for the movie and the promised Bella-Barbie session.

"Bye, I'll be back in a few hours," I yelled to Charlie who was sitting in the armchair in the living room. He grunted an unintelligible response and Alice laughed, knowing he would let me go virtually anywhere with her.
