(A/N: Thank you to Tamii and especially renalrocks for Alerting/Reviewing! Because I'm so happy ((and have also written heaps already (: )) I'm updating again! Thatnks again!)

Anticipation

The big day was almost here. Their day. Though if you considered the fact I had planned the whole event it was also my day. So all three of us (well, maybe not all three) were particularly excited. Edward and Bella were finally going to pull the ends of the loosely fixed ropes that they metaphorically are so that the knot would – at long last – be tied. Basically they were getting married tomorrow. Closing my eyes gently, I searched for Edward as he would be clearer than my sister-in-law-to-be. I didn't understand why really. Maybe I will some time in the future. Ha! Maybe I should be looking for myself!

Either way, I looked for Edward's future and only saw the most gruesome and grotesque thing in existence – a vampire eating human food! Poor Edward, swallowing all that cake in his mouth. I decided I would look away when that point arrived. As this ugly image was all I could muster despite all my attempts, I tried Bella. All I could see now was her resisting the urge to run up the aisle and into Edward's arms. Of course, she was blushing as she thought. I felt like Edward, being able to read minds (as I could in my visions, but only that of the person I was "searching" for – even Bella for some reason), and then remembered the image in my head. Ew. At least Bella would probably – sorry, definitely – like the cake.

I would just have to wait it out. For once. Excitement crept through my cold body just as Jasper walked in the room. "Don't worry about it Jazzy, I'm just keyed up about the wedding!" I warned, as he eyed my suspiciously.
"Whatever," he shrugged. I smiled.
"Thanks!"
"What for? Anyway, I've a bachelor's party – well hunt – to attend!" he laughed. My grin widened.
"See you tommorow!" I called as he leapt out of the window of our room wearing a smile as wide as mine. Well, almost. No-one's smile rivals mine!

Smiling, I sat and picked up a book called Twilight (A/N: Sorry, I just had to!) from my bookcase – loads of teenagers had been reading it at the same time outside a bookstore. Most of them had been squealing like me with excitement as they were reading and shouting ROBERT PATTINSON! at the tops of their voices. Heh, maybe I'll find out who Robert Pattison is… But before I'd had a chance to even open the book to find out what it was about (I hadn't bothered to read the back) I had a vision of me recoiling in horror as I read. OK, maybe not first choice. Gathering all my strength, I threw the paperback out of the window as hard as possible. It fell into the branches of a tree so tall even a vampire might have trouble getting to it from the ground without a ladder. Take that Scary Book!

After cheering silently to myself, I glanced at the clock, which read 23:47:09 – the last two digits increasing by the second. Not even throwing books out of the window could entertain me until the next day. There was no gentler way to put it: I was bored. I swear down on my existence that if I don't find something interesting to do, I'm going to go out on a midnight shopping spree… or something! Would the mall even be open now? Considering there weren't many shopaholic-vegetarian-vampires in the world, so not even the huge shopping centre in Seattle would be open now. Unless… I smiled one of my signature smiles, before leaping out of the window and jumping in my Porsche.

My raid on the mall's clothes, accessories and most importantly beauty products (Bella needed to look marvellous!) was very satisfactory. With enough makeup to stock a beauty salon, I drove home with my load, laughing at the bewildered security guards' faces. Ha! Of course, I'd left appropriate amounts of cash under the tills in each shop, so I'd committed no crime, well maybe breaking and entering but… I'm not a thief! Driving home, I stuck my Lady GaGa CD on, and decided while listening to Alejandro to sing my favourites in my head during the ceremony. Imagining Edward's annoyed face in my head made me chuckle loudly.

Nodding my head to the music, I turned into the long driveway and pulled up outside. I tossed my coat over my shoulder and walked in, informing Esme of where I'd been. She nodded, an amused expression on her face. Yes, Alice exploiting her vampire skills so she could shop at one o' clock in the morning was so funny – hilarious! Whatever, I'm just glad she's not angry. Esme angry the morning of Bella and Edward's wedding would not be a good thing, though Esme was rarely angry, so my terror was a little wasted.

I carried the five-million-and-one bags upstairs to my bathroom/beauty salon and arranged my new and extensive collection of makeup on the counter, trying to figure exactly how to make my Bella Barbie stunning the following morning. After I finally finished arranging everything, I unnecessarily sat in my chair and leant back, relaxing. Glancing at another clock that sat above my doorframe, I scowled. 2:14 in the morning? When were the boys going to get home already? I needed something to do desperately. So desperately, in fact, that I was considering going to get that Twilight book from the tree… Deciding against it, I slumped in my chair, bored, bored, bored. Everything wedding was sorted, and there were no last minute details in need of checking.

"Rose?" I called, moping.
"Alice? What's wrong?" my adopted sister asked as she ran through the door vampire-speed.
"I'm bored!" I cried like a little girl. Rosalie giggled at the tone of my voice.
"And… what do you want to do?"
"I've already tried to start reading, but I had a 'vision' and saw me genuinely scared of the book, so decided against that one." I heard Rosalie mutter something like Chicken ever-so-quietly, but continued anyway. "Then I went to Seattle for a midnight shopping spree,"
"What?"
"Let me finish! Anyway, I went to the big mall in Seattle, picked up some stuff LEAVING MONEY UNDER THE COUNTERS and came back here and sorted the stuff out, speaking of which… like Bella's going-away dress?" I asked suddenly, gesturing to the dark blue dress with spaghetti straps that was suspended by a coat hanger resting on the frame of the door leading to my huge closet.
"Nice!" she replied, smiling. And from there we continued to chatter on mindlessly about fashion for a few hours, before I did my hair ready for the event to take place later. At about ten o' clock, I left to pick up Bella from her house.

Let the chaos begin…

(A/N: Sorry it's so short; I was just stuck for ideas on this chapter. Don't worry, I promise the next chapter ((getting ready for the wedding)) will be longer, full of Alice-y excitement! Thanks for even reading! See you next chapter!)
