Hey Guys1 I know the prologue was short, but just bear with me. As I get into this story, I will get into a mode, and write longer chapters! Thanks

Sweet Sixteen
There was a knock at my door. I sniffed the air hoping for Esme with breakfast, but it was only Alice. Okay, well I loved Alice, but she had no reason to wake me up at … six in the morning!
"Come in Alice!" I said just a smidge grumpily.
"Shopping Spree, shopping spree!" she was jumping up and down on my queen sized bed like a five year old. "Are you in?' she asked mid-jump.
"Yes yes YES!" I yelled excited. I was suddenly very glad that Alice had woken me up at such a ridiculous time in the morning. I loved shopping with Alice. When she went shopping she took the expression 'shop 'till you drop a little too serious. I'm not kidding. I still have the bruises from the last time!
Alice bounced out of the room shouting for me to get ready and not disturb the others. Twenty five minutes later after a shower and breakfast from Esme (bless her), we were headed towards Seattle. Alice wanted to go to Chicago, insisting that she could get us there in three hours, but Jasper talked her out of it.
We got to the first mall and pulled up in an empty spot close to the entrance. Since it was still early, the mall had barely just opened. Alice walked through the big front doors and squealed with delight. I allowed myself a small smile. This place was huge and we wouldn't have to go to any other malls.
A warm hand touched my shoulder and I jumped - literally - almost to the second floor. I turned around and saw Jacob grinning like an idiot, that he'd made me jump thirty feet in the air. "Clam down Ness, it's just me."
I turned around and gave him a great big hug. I wasn't expecting to see him today, and I was glad that I had someone to help me keep Alice from going a little too crazy. He gave me a big smile and I felt something flutter inside me. I didn't know what it was, and I really didn't care. I was just glad he was here.
"Hello, Earth to Nessie," Alice's hand waved in front of my face.
'What," I said looking at her.
"Nothing, I just wondered if we were going to shop, or if we were going to stare all day." She said sarcastically. I smirked with Jake, and for Alice's benefit we stared wide at each other, making Alice growl.
After some heavy shopping I was starting to feel the drop. Just in time for the dress shop. I really didn't want to go in, but Alice insisted that she saw a special occasion coming. She wasn't telling me what she saw, but she exchanged a glance with Jake that made me uneasy. Were they keeping something from me?
After two hours of picking out dresses and trying them on - Jake applauding at the ones he liked - we finally bought twelve of them and went home, so I could soak my poor feet. A long fun exhausting day was over and onto a new one.
The next morning I wake up to a gray sky outside my window. I sighed and was about to leave my room when I was ambushed.
Alice was no my shoulders covering my eyes and my mom was leading me towards the bathroom *cough* salon *cough*, where Rosalie and Esme were waiting.
"What's going on?' I shouted while trying to dislodge Alice from my shoulders.
"We have to get you ready for that special event that I saw yesterday,'' Alice's sweet voice chirped.
I touched my mother's arm what are you hiding from me?
"Nothing sweetie"
You're lying I can smell it!
"you'll find out soon enough,"
After an three hours of plucking waxing and buffing, two and a half of makeup and four on my stubborn bronze hair. I was ready for my beautiful strapless purple dress. It went to the knee and had a white sash. It was my favorite of the ones I picked out yesterday.
I looked like a princess. Now I was really curious about what the special occasion was. I was about to find out, because Alice grabbed my hand and led me towards the stairs. The lights were off in the living room. I got more suspicious every second. As soon as my feet touched the bottom of the stairs I heard "surprise! Happy Sweet sixteen Nessie!"
