Lizzie's POV:

I'm so excited. Things have been pretty rough for me since I came here to stay with Bella and The Cullens. I just couldn't stand being with Charlie, or Renee and Phil anymore. So, I decided to come and stay with Bella, plus, I already know about vampires and werewolves.

Even though it's not supposed to happen, especially after hearing about Bella's experiences with the Volturi. It was kind of scary at first, being in a house full of vampires, and me being the only human.

Not saying that it isn't still frightening at times now, I just got a little more used to it.

I came to live with Bella a couple months after the big event with the whole guard, over Renesmee. I didn't really understand what the big deal was, but I wasn't there to see it all, so my opinion didn't really matter.

However, today, Dr. Cullen and the rest of them are all taking a trip down to Seattle, and Bella said that I could ta along. Even though I'm most likely just going to either watch Alice try on clothes, or make others try on clothes, I finally get to go and do something.

It's been quite a while that I've really gotten to do anything that wasn't wither watching everyone in the house, or babysitting werewolves. All in all, stuff has been pretty boring for my time here. Plus, I'm not really sure what's going to happen later on, I mean, Bella's going to forever be 18 now, and I'm going to turn 15 in a little more that 6 months. Is she just supposed to watch me get old until I finally die? Or do they want to make me one of them?

Either way, we're going to the mall, and I'm excited.

Carlisle's POV:

My children were all complaining of being bored, and not getting out enough, and not having things to do. So, Esme and I decided to finally take them out to do something. We all decided to make the trip to Seattle, and go to the mall so that the girls could shop, and the guys could… go do something.

Most of my kids didn't want to ride with my wife and I though. Rosalie and Emmett were going to take the Jeep, and Jazz and Alice wanted to go with them. Edward wanted to take his Volvo, and Jake wanted to go with him, to avoid "the romance section of the ride." Bella was ok if she had to ride with her sister, Lizzy, but Edward convinced her to go with him, unless Lizzy really was uncomfortable riding with a car full of vampires.

My wife and I were going to ride in my Mercedes, and I offered to Lizzy to let her ride with us, and she said all right but I think it was more out of politeness. However, Emmett told her to ride with him and Rose. My son has clearly taken a liking to Bella's biologically, little sister. So, she chose to ride with him, Rose, Alice, and Jazz.

The ride there was very calm, nobody went too far over the speeding limit, and there were no problems that I was aware of anyway.

Lizzy's POV:

Once we got down to Seattle everyone settled down a bit. The ride over was kind of crazy. Rose kept telling Emmett to quiet down, because of his huge, booming laugh, when he was laughing over nothing.

Emmett has been the most welcoming to me, besides my sister, since I got here. He's just really nice, and explains a lot to me when I get confused about certain things. And, he gets super protective. Which is kind of nice, nobody's ever been that way about me before.

After everyone got out of their cars, and made sure they had their cards, we all split. All of us girls, minus Renesmee since she wanted to be with Jake, went following after Alice, and her graceful dancing across the parking lot. The boys went to go look at sports stuff, and other things they didn't say. And finally, Carlisle and Esme went off on their own also, after making sure that Jake was going to be responsible with Nessie.

I followed a little behind Alice and Rosalie with Bella. She still hates shopping.

"So, you still ate shopping. Nice to see that hasn't changed." I said teasingly to her. She smiled down at me and nodded while saying, "You are still younger than me, nice to see that hasn't changed either." I looked away from her face, and said quiet enough that normal human ears couldn't hear it, "Not for long." She frowned at me, but didn't say anything.

An hour and a half later, I had tried on 50 outfits, bought 15 (only counting the ones I bought, Alice bought me around 20 more,) and am now waiting for Rose, Alice, and surprisingly, Bella, to finish trying on clothes. They told me that I could go off on my own, as long as I stayed in the store. So I went and wandered around the store.

I was looking at the nail polish, and jewelry section, near the front of the store, when this really cute guy stopped outside of it, and waved for someone to come to him. I looked around me on both sides, but didn't see anyone. So, I looked back at the boy and pointed to myself. When he nodded, he waved again, and mouthed come here. I looked one more time back over my shoulder to make sure nobody else was there.

I started walking toward the boy, and once I was there, he said, "Why didn't you think I was talking to you a minute ago?" I shrugged and looked down at my shoes. "I don't know. I just thought, maybe you were looking at another, prettier girl." I had never really pictured myself as the pretty type, and I was just as uncoordinated as my sister used to be.

The boy just laughed, and said, "I'm Chris. What's your name?" I said "Lizzy." Chris was bout almost a foot taller than me, and most likely a year or so older. He looked at me and said, "Do you wanna walk with me?"

I bit my bottom lip and thought for a second. I wasn't supposed to leave the store. Carlisle and Esme also had told me to stay with the girls. What if they get mad at me if I go? Well, they aren't really my parents, so they won't really care about what I do… right? I took one last look behind me to make sure none of the girls were coming out to look for me yet, turned back to Chris, and nodded.

Then he took my hand, and we started walking away from the store.
