Bella's Pov
I couldn't believe my eyes when Alice, or who I presumed to be Alice, walked through the door behind a wall of shopping bags. Even though this was a fairly common event, the twinkle in Alice's eye un-nervered me a little.
"What's going on Alice?" I said, with an edge of curiosity.
"Oh nothing, me and Rose have just been on a little shopping trip..."
"But you usually tell me when you're going to go on a spending spree! We do have bills to pay! Infact we're still paying the bill of you're last shopping trip!"
"Oh Bella lighten up! Just because 'you' don't like spending money dosen't mean Rose and I can't!"
I rolled my eyes, we'd had this conversation so many times. The last time Alice went on a shopping trip she came back with 5 new Prada shoes!
"You really should start trying to kick this habit Alice-"
"Don't worry Bella I'll pay for it, I have the money." She scratched her head "As soon as I get married you'll be free of all my money problems..."
Rosaline snigered behind her back, soon enough she burst out laughing and I joined in.
"Humff" Alice huffed and sat down. After Rose and I had calmed down a little she started talking again, "Bella?"
"Yes Alice..." I said still giggleing a little
"When was the last time you went on a date?" As soon as she said it, the mood in the room changed and I put on my serious face
"Alice don't start this again... you know exactly what hapened."
Rose pushed through into her bed room and closed the door behind her, but that didn't dim the sound that was her thunderous laugh. As soon as Alice heard her she joined in to. I however didn't see what was so funny so I walked into the kitcken and started makeing lunch.
Rosaline's POV
As soon as I could pull my self together (which took a good while) I walked back into the living room to join Alice on the sofa.
"So." I whispered, "When are you going to tell her what we're doing later?" Alice leaned away from me.
"When am 'I' going to tell her? I thought you where going to tell her?" Unfortunaly Alice had planned this, as per usual as she was talking way to loud for just me to hear.
"Going to tell me what?" Said Bella standing with her hands on her hips in the doorway of the kitchen. I looked at Alice who noded her head in encouragement. I sighed,
"Bells," I only called her that when I needed to ask her a favour, and I most tefinatly was not going to do this thing alone. Of course she reconised the tone of my voice and raised an eyebrown at me, "Me and Alice where thinking of trying out that Speed Dating thing again... do you want to come?" I used puppy eyes so that she could understand that I needed her, no way was I capeable of enduring a whole night with Alice, I needed someone to ditch her with if I found I guy anyway.Bella shook her head in protest,
"I can't believe you're asking me to do this again! You know what happend last time!" The look on Bella's face made me regret asking her to go, I knew exactly what happed to her last time she tryed out speed dating... she got hooked up with a guy called Jacob.

I can't believe they're asking me to do this again! ARGH! I wanted to forget all about Jacob, not go back to the place we first met! He was the first man to visit my table, and beng new to the whole thing I kinda did some 'over the top' flirting with him. He wasn't exactly 'bad' looking but he was 'way' over confident.I didn't know what to do when he asked me out to dinner the same night, so I just went with the flow of things. He seemed nice at first, he pulled out me chair for me and made me feel comfortable, he made me laugh (which is a key thing in any relationship right?). When the night was over he took me back to his place for 'a drink'. Turned out what he was after was not of liquid substance. It caught me off gaurd when he started pulling at my shirt so I slapped him and stubbled to the other side of the room. He just looked at me with surprised drunked eyes and walked after me. When he tried to grab me again a kicked him in the balls and got out of there. The next day he kept trying to call me, which only made me feel more and more vunerable. But Alice and Rose took over and taught him a lesson that he will never forget. They called the police and claimed money off him, lots and lots of money. So, we've been stinking rich for the past 5 weeks now, and it has taken me that long to fully recover from my experience.
