From: Alice Cullen

12:00PM

What are you doing after school?


From: Bella Swan

12:03PM

I was thinking about reading a little Sense and Sensibility. Why? What do you have in mind?


From: Alice Cullen

12:07PM

Stay after with me? Apparently Jazz has to try out for the school drumline. *sigh*


From: Bella Swan

12:12PM

Seriously!? Jazz and the drumline? I didn't even know he played the drums... lol.


From: Alice Cullen

12:13PM

He doesn't. There was some silly bet with Emmett...idk. But he's doing it and I decided it was worth it to see him show off a little. ;)


From: Alice Cullen

12:13PM

So how bout it? Wanna see some drummers drumming?


From: Bella Swan

12:14PM

Oh, I wouldn't miss that! =D Can I bring Edward along?


From: Alice Cullen

12:15PM

Of course. He probably already knows though. Emmett is talking smack as we speak.


From: Bella Swan

12:16PM

Haha! I could totally see Emmett doing that! Jazz is really going to try out...in front of everyone? Oh man, my cheeks are getting red just thinking about it.

From: Bella Swan

4:49PM

Eleven minutes!Eleven freaking minutes!I feel like screaming!


From: Alice Cullen

4:51PM

Whoa. Back up. What's wrong?


From: Bella Swan

4:52PM

Make that eight minutes now! UHG! I have been stuck in this traffic for the past twenty minutes. STUPID PIPERS! :(


From: Alice Cullen

4:55PM

There's music blocking traffic?


From: Bella Swan

4:56PM

What? Music? What are you talking about?


From: Alice Cullen

4:56PM

You said something about pipers...


From: Bella Swan

4:57PM

LOL! Oh... No. Some road crew laying pipes... Just pipping away.


From: Alice Cullen

4:59PM

Well, can't be worse than listening to drummers drumming...


From: Bella Swan

5:00PM

Haha! I can't believe Jasper tried out. That was hilarious. Did you see the faces of those other twelve guys? Classic!


From: Alice Cullen

5:01PM

Feel better?


From: Bella Swan

5:03PM

Marginally, but I am too late to go to the store now. I guess it's leftovers for dinner tonight.

December 10

.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.


From: Alice Cullen

11:00PM

Oh my god. You are not going to believe this!


From: Bella Swan

11:02PM

What's wrong?


From: Bella Swan

11:05PM

Alice?


From: Alice Cullen

11:35PM

Sry. Got side tracked. What's up?


From: Bella Swan

11:35PM

What am I not going to believe?


From: Alice Cullen

11:40PM

Huh?


From: Alice Cullen

11:41PM

Oh, right... nevermind. It's not important.


From: Bella Swan

11:41PM

Oh Lord! You have me leaping around thinking something happened!


From: Alice Cullen

11:43PM

It's good now. Nighty night.


From: Bella Swan

11:50PM

Yeah. The ten minutes that's left of it, anyway...

December 13

.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.


From: Alice Cullen

9:45AM

Was that Mike Newton I saw talking to you at the beginning of last period?


From: Bella Swan

9:46AM

OMG! Yes! Alice... please shoot me!


From: Alice Cullen

9:48AM

What did he want?


From: Bella Swan

9:49AM

One guess. Think what is coming up.


From: Alice Cullen

9:52AM

Still trying to steal you from my brother, is he?


From: Bella Swan

10:00AM

Ehh... You would think he would take a hint. He didn't.


From: Alice Cullen

10:02AM

Yuck. What happened exactly?


From: Bella Swan

10:03AM

Alice... It was so embarrassing. He kept going on about how nine "ladies" asked him out, but he was waiting for the right girl...


From: Alice Cullen

10:05AM

He's delusional. I swear! We should read up on it, just in case.


From: Bella Swan

10:06AM

Haha... he isn't right, that's for sure!


From: Alice Cullen

10:07AM

I guess Edward will just have to show you off more. ;) Like say, at Winter Formal?


From: Bella Swan

10:09AM

Ehhh... I don't know about that!


From: Alice Cullen

10:10AM

Oh come on. You'll have fun! Promise. Besides Edward already has his tux. Ralph Lauren cannot go to waste Bella.


From: Bella Swan

10:13AM

You know my dancing skills... this lady does not dance. Besides, I don't even have a dress.


From: Alice Cullen

10:15AM

Don't worry about it. I have you covered. Now suck it up, cause you're going.


From: Bella Swan

10:16AM

Oh lord. You have me scared now.


From: Alice Cullen

10:18AM

You'd think I was shoving bamboo splinters under your nails.


From: Bella Swan

10:19AM

Alice... have you seen me dance? It's painful for all involved, even for the spectators!


From: Alice Cullen

10:20AM

Like I said, don't worry about it. Edward is a great dancer.


From: Bella Swan

10:22AM

Yeah... You say that now... Oh Wait! I have a terrific idea!


From: Alice Cullen

10:22AM

Which is...?


From: Bella Swan

10:38AM

I will run away. Run far far away! Away from the dance and away from Mike *gag* Newton. But I may steal Edward away with me! Hehe


From: Alice Cullen

10:38AM

Oh no you don't Bella Swan! You are going to that dance. You are going to have fun. And Mike can keep his 9 ladies dancing. Understand?!


From: Bella Swan

10:38AM

*Groans* You're very aggressive for such a little girl!


From: Alice Cullen

10:39AM

Trust me, it can get much worse.


.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.

December 15

.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.


From: Bella Swan

5:24PM

Alice! You have been keeping secrets!


From: Alice Cullen

5:27PM

I don't know what you're talking about. 0=)


From: Bella Swan

5:27PM

About a certain person we know... a candy striper?


From: Alice Cullen

5:29PM

Oh, heard about that did you? Yeah, Rose likes to volunteer in the nursery.


From: Bella Swan

5:30PM

Heard? I saw her! I volunteered and there she was. It's kind of daunting.


From: Alice Cullen

5:31PM

Oh. Yeah. Well, at least Emmett wasn't there, right?


From: Bella Swan

5:33PM

Oh God! Is Emmett volunteering there too? No I didn't see him.


From: Alice Cullen

5:35PM

Good. Then you didn't hear about him snickering behind Rose's back.


From: Bella Swan

5:38PM

Snickering? What could he possibly be snickering about? She looked like a model even in that uniform.


From: Alice Cullen

5:43PM

I'm not sure. Something about watching the new "milking maids."


From:Bella Swan

5:45PM

"Milking Maids?" Do I want to know?


From: Alice Cullen

5:46PM

I don't know... Probably not. Not sure that I want to either.


From: Bella Swan

5:47PM

Well my shift starts at 8 tomorrow. Maybe I will see her again and ask about the "maids milking"


From: Alice Cullen

5:49PM

Eh, if you want to. Just don't tell Rose. I foresee bad things happening.


.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.

December 16

.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.


From: Alice Cullen

2:45PM

Seventh period came and went, but there was no Bella to be found... :(


From: Bella Swan

2:56PM

Uhg... Went home early.


From: Alice Cullen

2:59PM

Yeah. Figured out that one all on my own.


From: Bella Swan

3:01PM

I got up close and personal with the school pool...


From: Alice Cullen

3:02PM

Oh, Bella. Please don't tell me you ruined that silk shirt I dressed you in! *looks on in horror*


From: Bella Swan

3:03PM

...


From: Alice Cullen

3:03PM

Well, it's alright. I'm sure it's not that bad.


From: Bella Swan

3:03PM

:( Did I mention that Emmett witnessed it?


From: Alice Cullen

3:05PM

O_o Do I want to know what idiotic thing he said?


From: Bella Swan

3:07PM

He was able to get the whole class in hysterics by stating, "Hey, look at that, Swan's a swimming!" So embarrassing! :'(


From: Alice Cullen

3:08PM

Uh! I hope he gets a brain for Christmas this year...


From: Bella Swan

3:10PM

That might be asking a bit much from Santa, lol. You know, to make matters worse... Mike was there.


From: Alice Cullen

3:11PM

True... Ah, Mike. What did he do this time?


From: Bella Swan

3:11PM

He made a big fuss to help. Let's just say, I will never wear silk to school again!


From: Alice Cullen

3:13PM

Bella, you're obviously upset, so I'll ignore that last comment.

December 18

.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~.


From: Bella Swan

4:08PM

Where are you? Did you get everything?


From: Alice Cullen

4:15PM

I'm almost finished. What size birds do you want me to pick up?


From: Bella Swan

4:15PM

At least a ten pound, fifteen if they have it.


From: Alice Cullen

4:17PM

Kay. Ugh. Slimy. Raw meat never looks like this on the food network. Why are you making me do this again?


From: Bella Swan

4:18PM

From what I remember, you wanted to help and learn how to cook.


From: Alice Cullen

4:20PM

Isn't watching enough?


From: Bella Swan

4:22PM

Oh.. stop whining. It's not that bad. You just shove the stuffing up into the turkey.


From: Alice Cullen

4:25PM

Are you hitting on me?


From: Bella Swan

4:25PM

Huh?


From: Alice Cullen

4:26PM

Lol. Nothing. Getting in the car now, be over soon. We'll get these geese laying.


From: Bella Swan

4:27PM

Geese? What... you didn't. Did you buy geese?


From: Alice Cullen

4:30PM

Yeah... Isn't the tradition to eat a Christmas goose?


From: Bella Swan

4:32PM

Nope... not unless you have a turducken... wait, I think that is actually, chicken, turkey and duck.


From: Alice Cullen

4:38PM

Um, you lost me.


From: Bella Swan

4:49PM

::Sigh:: It's okay. We are going to have six other traditional sides... so it's okay if we have geese laying on the table too.

From: Bella Swan

10:31AM

:(


From: Alice Cullen

10:35AM

What's up buttercup?


From: Bella Swan

10:37AM

Emmett hasn't forgotten about the pool incident yet. He's like a freaking elephant!


From: Alice Cullen

10:37AM

Well. In size anyway...


From: Bella Swan

10:37AM

He and Jasper are over here making fun. He keeps asking where my six other buddies are... I don't really get it. Am I missing something? I'm so confused!


From: Alice Cullen

10:39AM

Ugh. One of these days I'm gonna wring his fat neck!


From: Bella Swan

10:41AM

He thinks he is such the big man on campus... the golden boy.


From: Alice Cullen

10:45AM

Just say the word and I'll put an end to his miserable existence. ;)


From: Bella Swan

10:46AM

No, it's okay. I like Emmett. A lot of the times he is just a big teddy bear, but sometimes, he infuriates me so!


From: Bella Swan

10:46AM

Besides, I honestly don't believe your hands could wrap around his neck.


From: Alice Cullen

10:47AM

One way to find out... *plots evil plan*


From: Bella Swan

10:48AM

*Note to self* Never get on Alice's bad side. Lol.


From: Alice Cullen

10:50AM

And that, Bella Swan, is why you're my best friend. :D

From: Alice Cullen

3:25PM

So, I take it you liked your early Christmas present?


From: Bella Swan

3:26PM

Umm... Yeah.


From: Alice Cullen

3:27PM

Just figured, since Edward was strutting around like a peacock when he got home. ;)


From: Bella Swan

3:28PM

Haha... No, you're just imagining things... That's all... Yeah.


From: Alice Cullen

3:32PM

Sure i am ;)


From: Bella Swan

3:44PM

We just watched a movie, then he went home. Nothing special.


From: Alice Cullen

3:44PM

If you say so.


From: Bella Swan

3:48PM

Anyway... I am going to have to talk to you later. Edward is supposed to be picking me up at 4. I still have to get ready.


From: Alice Cullen

3:50PM

Say no more, my friend. Go get dressed up for your calling bird.


From: Bella Swan

3:51PM

Okay. I'll talk to you later.


From: Alice Cullen

3:54PM

TTFN

From: Bella Swan

11:44AM

Guess what!


From: Alice Cullen

11:47AM

*puts listening ears on*


From: Bella Swan

11:49AM

I managed to get Edward's, Emmett's and Jasper's Christmas presents!


From: Alice Cullen

11:50AM

That's great! You're going to tell me right?


From: Bella Swan

11:54AM

I scored three, that's right, three tickets to a Mud Hen's game! Jasper and Emmett like baseball too, right?


From: Alice Cullen

11:57AM

The who? Are they a Seattle team?


From: Bella Swan

12:01PM

No. They are from OH, but Phil says they are on a hot streak this season! I have the Seattle game tickets though! Sideline!


From: Alice Cullen

12:08PM

Great! I know they will all love it! When is the game?


From: Bella Swan

12:21PM

Uh oh. :(


From: Alice Cullen

12:21PM

Uh oh?


From: Bella Swan

12:24PM

How different is rugby from baseball?


From: Alice Cullen

12:25PM

Um, it's pretty different... I think.


From: Alice Cullen

12:25PM

Oh no. Why?


From: Bella Swan

12:34PM

CRAP! Excuse my french.


From: Alice Cullen

12:36PM

Ce n'est pas français.


From: Bella Swan

12:38PM

Huh? Translation please...


From: Alice Cullen

12:40PM

Nevermind. So, wait, what tickets DID you buy?


From: Bella Swan

12:42PM

Oh... it's the Mud Hens, but apparently the Mud Hens is not only a baseball team, it's a women's rugby team. Think the guys would enjoy seeing that?


From: Alice Cullen

12:49PM

I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over my laughing.


From: Bella Swan

12:53PM

Ehh... on second thought, maybe I should see about getting a refund.

From: Alice Cullen

9:19PM

Don't worry we'll find them! You have your dress laid out right?


From: Bella Swan

9:21PM

I don't even know what they are called. Wait, for what?


From: Alice Cullen

9:22PM

Our party, silly Bella!


From: Bella Swan

9:23PM

Ehh... We wont be exchanging gifts, right?


From: Alice Cullen

9:25PM

No. Now stop worrying. And don't think I didn't notice you didn't answer my question.


From: Bella Swan

9:26PM

So yeah. They are those chocolates with the peanuts in them...


From: Alice Cullen

9:27PM

Fine, be that way.


From: Bella Swan

9:28PM

LOL. You know I love you Alice!


From: Alice Cullen

9:33PM

:P Anyways... Um, aren't those chocolates some kind of animal?


From: Alice Cullen

9:34PM

Something with birds?


From: Bella Swan

9:34PM

Turtle doves! That's it! I was thinking truffles.


From: Alice Cullen

9:35PM

You're welcome. ;)

Do I really have to go tonight?


From: Alice Cullen

YES. I'm picking you up in an hour.


From: Bella Swan

10:01AM

But I don't have a dress... You wouldn't want me to show up without a dress, would you?


From: Bella Swan

10:15AM

I'm just kidding Alice. You can breathe.


From: Alice Cullen

10:16AM

So not funny.


From: Bella Swan

10:18AM

Do we need to get anything for the party while we're out?


From: Alice Cullen

10:19AM

I was just going to ask you about that. So...we have the food.


From: Bella Swan

10:21AM

Yum! What about drinks?


From: Alice Cullen

10:22AM

Yes. Decorations? What do you have there?


From: Bella Swan

10:25AM

They're Christmas Twigs Bella. *rolls eyes* Great. I have the music, the tree is already up, food is already in the works... We have 4 types of dip, 3 main courses, 2 cakes.

And a partridge in a pear tree.


From: Alice Cullen
