Author's Note: Ok, I hope that the first chapter was good enough to make up for the excruciating long wait. Thanks for all of the offers to be my BETA and they will be taken into consideration. Again, thanks to everyone that voted and I might be posting more polls in the future. Here's the second chapter and I hope that you like it! This is kind of a filler chapter and I will admit that it is not my best work but I needed something to take up space until they go to Florida. I should tell you guys that there will be time lapses quite often just because I might not have anything interesting or worth writing at the time. There is a slight time lapse between this chapter and the first but the next chapter will take place after this one! Enjoy!

Girls (and Boys) Just Want to Have Fun

The boys had been gone a total of three and a half minutes before Alice started. I had been upstairs contemplating what to do with the free time that had opened up in my schedule due to the absences of all of our husbands. The idea of finally picking up that copy of 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' didn't seem too bad and I was still trying to find the perfect way to tell my parents that they were going to be grandparents in April. I shuddered at the thought of their response.

A whole two seconds before I reached the book, I heard a knock at the door and knew that I had to let her in or she was going to keep knocking until I did so. I switched direction and made my way to the door. I found my two very gorgeous sisters waiting for me on the other side and had no idea what they had in store for me. Instead of putting up a fight, I gave in easily and made them follow me downstairs. I knew that something was going to happen and it was most likely going down in the living room.

When I got there, I saw that I was wrong. I turned around to find my sisters waiting for me at the foot of the stairs. Alice had a brow raised and I was a bit confused. Didn't she want to have a movie night or something like that? Maybe I was wrong…

"Alice, what's going on? I thought that we were going to watch movies while the boys were out. If not, what are we going to do?" I had to ask because I wanted to know if I should be scared or not.

"Bella, Rose and I were going to do each other's make-up and nails. We were wondering if you wanted to watch or something like that. Do you want to?" She actually looked like she was worried that I was going to say no. Of course I wanted to spend time with them. Edward had kept me pretty much to himself for the last two months and although we did need to talk about a few things, I also needed to be around other people every once in a while. I could see why she asked though. Every since the thing with Emmett last month, everyone had been wise enough to act a little more carefully around me.

"Yeah, Alice, of course. I really need some sister/girl-to-girl bonding. You have no idea how much I've actually been wanting you to take me away for a few hours during the last few weeks." When I said that last part, I immediately saw the relief in her eyes and was glad that I had told the truth. If I had been lying, she would have been angry at me for patronizing her and sad that I had lied in the first place. I walked over to them and pulled Alice and Rosalie into a much needed hug. I noticed that they were careful to not squeeze too tightly because of the baby.

When we pulled apart, I saw the huge smiles on their faces and then I turned us to face the stairs. I put myself between the two of them and linked my arms in theirs. They must have seen the mischievous gleam in the eye because they mimicked my facial expression. I had no idea that the two of them could seem both menacing and excited at the same time. We all lifted our left foot and placed it on the first step in unison. We continued this way up all of the stairs, pausing every so often to relieve our laughing fits.

When we got to Alice's room, I continued on to the bathroom and left them in the doorway. I think that I had surprised them by making my way to the room I had dubbed 'The Torture Chamber' and going there willingly. I had almost always had a natural aversion to the place. Maybe I was more socially drained than usual.

"Alice, what are you waiting for? I thought that we were going to do hair and make-up on each other." I think that she was a little more than surprised that I was being so willing to have her play Bella Barbie with me. I hadn't been exactly the most enthusiastic in the past.

Alice kind of hesitated a bit at the door before coming towards me excitedly. I knew that she would eventually get back to being herself. Rose was at my and Alice's sides in a split second and then we went into the room. I instantly took my position in the chair Jasper had installed and heard Alice's silent squeal of delight behind me. Rose took the seat beside me and I had remembered that I had seen the boys with a rather large box last week…

Alice returned in record time and I closed my eyes to get brace myself for what was to come. It had been a while since I had let the girls have their way with my appearance and I was a little wary as to what they intended to do to me exactly. I felt my flip-flops being pulled from my feet and smiled to myself. Rose was being very careful and slow as she slipped them off. I held in a chuckle and I think that Alice knew what I was thinking.

A few minutes later, I had my toenails painted and my nails were freshly manicured. It was Rose's turn and I sat in the seat next to her and watched. I actually offered to do her toes and she seemed a bit surprised. Although we had become close, we weren't exactly touchy-feely all the time. She smiled and I reached for the rack of nail polish. I grabbed what seemed to be her favourite color – blood red. I opened the little bottle and began to do even strokes on her nails. I had to concentrate hard not to breathe in the fumes too often and to keep the polish off of her toes. When I had finished with her left foot, I made my way to the right one as Alice decided to strike up a conversation in the quiet room.

"So, Bella, when you tell your parents in Florida, are you guys driving or what?" I had no idea why she was asking because she should be able to know. That was how being a psychic went, wasn't it? Maybe she was losing it and needed a few more clues. I didn't know but I decided to amuse her. It was better to talk and have someone to share things with than to hold it all in and stuff like that.

"Well, actually, I was thinking that maybe we could all go and make it into a road trip. That way, we could go as a family and I've always wanted to see Nashville. I know that we would have to go at night but still, I would love to go. What do you think?" She had a huge smile on her face by the time I had finished. Maybe she really had no idea because it involved the baby and we had told her not to look.

"Really, Bella? I didn't know that you had wanted to see Nashville. Oh, and I bet that I could get them to let us into the Tenn Ren Fest at night if we told them that we had an allergy to the sun or something like that. Wouldn't that be fun?"

"Um, Alice? What's the 'Tenn Ren Fest'?" I don't think that I had ever heard of it before.

"Oh, it's the Tennessee Renaissance Festival that's held in Murfreesboro every year. I've always wanted to go and see the re-enactments of the jousting tournaments and all of the gorgeous clothes that were worn back then." There was the Alice that I knew and loved. Once clothes were brought into the equation, Alice tried her hardest to get anywhere near the place in question.

"Sure, Alice. That sounds like a lot of fun. I was just wondering… What are we going to wear to the festival? I don't think that you'd let us go in plain clothes, would you?" I had to throw that last bit in at the end to appease her.

"Well, of course, we would have to do some online shopping. Why don't we go and do that now?" I should have known at the mention of shopping, I needed to be prepared. Surprisingly, Rose's nails and hair had been completed during our little conversation and I had almost forgotten that she was in the room. I needed to tap into the baby's mind. I had recently discovered that somehow, if I really wanted to or if my emotions got out of control, I could read minds. Maybe that was a power of the baby or something like that. I really didn't know.

We went back into Alice's room and she went over to her computer and signed out of her MySpace page. She needed to tell Jasper someday that she had created one so that he wouldn't completely blow a fuse when he found out. She automatically went to a shopping website and typed in 'Renaissance wear'. I had a feeling that she knew what she was doing.

When the page popped up, I instantly saw what I wanted to wear. It was so simple that it was elegant and gorgeous. I guess it would be the perfect outfit for me since that was how Edward saw me. It was a pure white silk floor length gown with a simple baby pink ribbon that tied under the bust line to give it a bit of a form-fitting gesture. (For those who have seen Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly, it was the white dress Jane was wearing when Mr. Bingley proposed.) I had to have it and kind of pushed Alice out of the seat. Luckily, she caught herself before she hit the floor and I sent her an apologetic look. I bought the garment before I could change my mind and got up out of the seat. Alice sat back down and found clothes for Rose and herself.

They were gorgeous of course. Alice had gotten a black corset, a black skirt (that surprisingly was almost floor-length and a bit different from her usual clothing style), a pink shirt to go over the corset (for Jasper's peace of mind), and some really cool black boots. Rosalie had gotten a similar looking outfit only she had forgone the shirt over the corset and hers' was red instead of black and the boots were more like hooker heels. It was then that I realized I hadn't bought any shoes to go with my dress.

"Don't' worry, Bella. I've got the perfect pair in mind for you." With that, Alice pulled up a picture of a few pairs of shoes. She clicked on the picture she had in mind and I had to agree that they were something I wouldn't mind wearing. They were almost flat but had a bit of a heel to keep the bottom of the dress from getting dirty and had little tiny pink bows on the toes that would match the ribbon the dress and neither Edward nor I would be complaining about the fact that they weren't high heels. That way, I didn't have to worry about falling and getting hurt.

We found suitable outfits for the guys that didn't involve tights. I had chosen for Edward a white page's shirt that had a pink trim on the collar and sleeves and a pair of tight black pants. Rosalie had gotten Emmett a blood red shirt that looked as if it was made for a prince and a pair of pants like I had gotten for Edward. Alice, however, went in a different direction. She had gotten clothes that would make my brother look like a man-whore. The clothes she had gotten for him were something he would wear if she insisted – a black long-sleeved skin-tight shirt with a few tears on the torso, a matching pairs of black pants that had some tears on the thighs, and a pairs of man-boots that actually had a slight heel on them.

A few minutes later, we headed downstairs and huddled up on the couch. When our husbands walked in five minutes later, Edward and Jasper seemed a bit out of it. Emmett seemed to be in on the joke and told Rosalie. She laughed and waved us away with a slightly dismissive hand.

We went up to our room and laid on the bed for a few minutes. I wanted to tell him about going to Florida and the Renaissance Festival but before I could get a word out, he got up and ran into the bathroom. I don't know what came over him but then he grabbed my hands and was running downstairs.

"Alice, guess what!" I had no idea why he was acting like Alice so much or why he was so feminine in his movements.

She looked surprised to see him so happy and excited. "What?!"

"I want to go dancing. It's only nine o'clock, it's not that late." This was so unlike Edward and I had still had no idea why he was acting so weird. But Alice responded as if Rose was the one that had suggested it. We all went upstairs and began to get ready. Maybe now I could tell Edward about the abilities I had discovered in the last few weeks.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to get even a single word in because he rushed to the closet and then to the bathroom. I had no idea what was going on in the gorgeous head of his but I didn't know if I wanted to find out. Instead, I went to the closet after him and began to collect a few appropriate garments. I had allowed Alice to buy me a few choice items when she said that I might need a few things later on if Edward ever let me out of the house without over-reacting. Most of them were pink, black, or blue.

I laid out my options before me and noticed a slight temperature difference in the area. The heat hadn't turned on because I don't even think it worked. What was it, then? I had narrowed my choices down to my two favourites when Alice walked in. She really had no idea what was going on with Edward or Jasper and I didn't even have to tap into the baby's mind to figure that out.

"Bella, can you believe that Edward was actually the one that suggested going dancing? I had no idea! Maybe it's because he went to that hypnotist and it altered his choices somehow. What are you wearing tonight?" I should have known that eventually she would get back onto the topic of clothes.

"I don't really know yet, Alice. I've narrowed it down to these two." I gestured to the two outfits I had in mind and she followed my gaze. Less than a millisecond later, she had thrown the shirt and skirt onto the floor and had the dress in my hand. "Thanks, Alice. Now I don't have to waste time deciding what to wear. Go get ready before I need help with my shoe selection." I knew that perfect shoes to go with the dress and I had to get my hair and make-up ready before Edward came out and told me that I was taking too long.

Before I got started on my make-up, I went into the bathroom to throw my hair into a ponytail so that it would get in the way. I walked in and saw a very odd sight. Edward had the curling iron in his hand and his fingers were pulsating and red. His poor forehead had burn marks as well but I could see that had managed to slightly curl the edges of his gorgeous bronze locks. I did what I had come in there to do and went back into our room.

I put on the baby-doll, slid into the leggings and a pair of black wedges, and wrapped the blue robe around me to keep the make-up from ruining the dress. I really did love the dress and I didn't want anything to happen to it. I moved onto my make-up and put on a very thin line of eyeliner, a light shade of blush, and a single layer of nude lip gloss. I could barely even tell that I had any make-up on at all and I was the one that had put it on.

I grabbed my hair brush and went to pull it out of the ponytail. At that moment, Edward chose to come out of the bathroom. His normally plain face had been smothered in make-up. It had been done up in the works and I couldn't help but laugh at him. He had to know how ridiculous he looked.

He must have either been oblivious to his appearance of been dared to dress that way by his brothers. I had to tell him how he looked but I didn't want to embarrass him. He headed downstairs and I had to hurry and finish my hair. I pulled it down and teased it a bit so that it wouldn't lay flat on my head. When I was satisfied with the results, I stood up and went over to the full-length mirror that Alice had snuck onto the closet door one day when Edward and I had been hunting.

I looked pretty decent and actually looked like I belonged with Edward. My engagement ring sort of pulled the look of 'I love this man and I want to dress like it' together. The baby-doll was strapless, pink, and had a black ribbon just underneath the bust-line that tied on the side. I gave myself one last smile and walked over to the door. I walked downstairs and saw that I seemed to be catching the end of a photo session of Alice's.

The moment Edward saw me, he let out a wolf whistle and I laughed at his sign of affection. I walked into his arms and he immediately pulled me into a soft kiss. I took this moment to tap into the baby's mind. I caught the end of his thought and for some reason, he was thinking about our family and them being ok with some 'girl-on-girl' action.

As we pulled away from one another, I laughed and said, "What were you thinking?" He blinked a few times seemed instantly alert. I hadn't been exactly prepared for his response and lost contact with his thoughts. He walked over to the mirror and look himself up and down, as if suddenly aware of his appearance. He walked over to me and took my hands in his.

"Bella, I know that I've been acting weird for the last few hours or so but I was wondering if you might do me a favour." I nodded and instantly knew that I would do it without any questions asked. He continued and told me what the favour was. "Bella, could you go over to Jasper, blow in his face while laughing, and then say what you said to me just a minute ago?"

I needed to know what he was thinking and tapped into his mind. He seemed to be pleading with his eyes and his thought matched his expression. Just do it for me, Bella. I love you. There was no time like the present to tell him about my little ability.

So I responded with a sentence that should tell him a few things. "Of course, Edward. I love you, too."

I think that I may have caught him a bit off guard but I walked over Jasper and did as asked. As soon and I breathed into his face and said what I had said to Edward only a moment ago, he freaked out and looked at himself. Then he looked around the room frantically and ran upstairs. All of us except for Edward began laughing. It was just a tiny thing but I suddenly realized that the little photo session earlier had been Alice documenting this occasion. When were we ever going to get the two of them in make-up again?

A second later, Edward grabbed my hand and took us both upstairs. He went to the bathroom and I followed shortly after. He proceeded to wash off the make-up and I had to stifle the giggles that threatened to escape. I heard the front door close and then the engine of Alice's turbo Porsche 911 start up. I knew that they wouldn't be back for a while. Edward turned and looked at me. I was leaning against the doorframe and I wanted to know what was going on inside that head of his. I tapped into his thoughts for moment and he was thinking of talking to Carlisle. I drew myself out before I cold hear something that I wasn't meant to.

That was when I heard the sound of Alice's car in the driveway. Without what seemed to be a second thought, he picked me up and ran the both of us downstairs. Alice was waiting for us and he handed me off to her. I had to tell him that I appreciated it. I responded by letting him hear a thought of my own and hoped that he could read my mind the same way he could read others'. Ever since the incident with the Snickers in the bed and the thing with the game consoles, I had been wondering.

'Thank you, Edward. I love you so much.' Let him tell Carlisle about that. I had to leave him with something that would keep him wondering. I smiled to myself and turned my attention to the road. Alice was actually going slower than usual and I think it had something to do with the fact that I was in the car and Edward would torture her to no end if something happened to me our my baby.

We sped along the road for a little less than an hour and were in the Canada in no time. We pulled into a town that I had not caught the name of and drove around for a little more before Alice found a suitable place to park her baby. We all got out and I realized that Emmett had taken up most of the backseat. Rosalie had sat in his lap and Jasper had been squashed against the side of the car. I was lucky that I had gotten to ride shot-gun.

We walked up the street and towards the club. I had never been clubbing before and the closest I had ever come was the Graduation party Alice had thrown. There was a long line of people and I didn't really want to wait. I knew that I wouldn't run into anybody from Forks but I wanted to. I wanted to see another familiar face other than my beloved family. I smelled the blood of the humans and was instantly repelled. I could smell the sweat and alcohol and I felt nauseous. I didn't even know that Vampires could get nauseous. Maybe it was the pregnancy. I took a deep breath and cleared my mind of the scents. That was something I had learned from Edward. Over the last month, he had taught me a few things to make it a little bit easier on me.

Instead of having to wait in line behind everyone else, Alice led the way to the front and addressed the bouncer as if they had been life-long (Hahaha, hehehe. Get it?) friends. She stretched up as far as she could go on her toes and planted a kiss on his left cheek.

"Justin, how's business been tonight? Not too busy, I hope." I caught that wink she gave him. I wanted to check his thoughts but I didn't know if I could yet. I guess I needed to talk to Carlisle when I got home. That way, I could see if this was normal or just a sort of side effect from the pregnancy.

"No, Alice. Business had been as expected for a Saturday night. A few kids from that town you were telling me you guys were from tried to sneak in but I checked their i.d.'s and they were fake. They thought that this was an over-21 club and had made themselves 23. You were right and I don't think I'll ever bet against you again." He turned to Emmett and forked out twenty bucks. I had to hold back the giggles again. This was turning out to be a very entertaining night indeed.

Wait a minute. Alice had seen that kids from Forks were going to sneak in tonight? That meant that they might still be in the city. The question was… who was it? Was is someone I would know? If so, would I want to know who they were? I shook my head to clear my thoughts. Instead, I turned my attention to the neon sign flashing above the doorway. The name was like an energy drink – 'AMP'd' I had no idea what Alice had planned but then again, hadn't this been Edward's idea in the first place? I took a deep breath and cleared away the scents again because they had started to clog my brain. We all went past Justin and into the club. It was even worse on the inside.

Additional Author's Note: To know what was going on with Edward and why he stayed behind, please go read 'Hypnosis'. It's this chapter from his point of view and it's kinda short but I swear that it's worth it and it's really funny. I just want to make a little side note that I'm using a term that I first read in a few stories from My-Bella (Bella Barbie) and I don't want her to think that I'm stealing it or anything like that. I just couldn't think of a better way to put it. Just know that I have never been to a club in my life so the next chapter or two might suck since it (or they) will be based on movies or stories I have read. Oh, yeah – Bella goes clubbing in the next chapter if you haven't figured it out already. And another thing – why are you still reading when you should be reviewing?!
