Alright, let's get something straight. I thought that physiology would be fun because I was very outgoing and loved to help people- but nothing I had learned prepared me for my first problem.

"Ding!Dong!" the doorbell chimed in acute harmony. I set down the knife I was using to cut up some vegetables for a stew.

"I'll get it Grandma!" I shouted to her, before she made an effort to get up from her spot on the couch.

I opened the door to find a girl of about seventeen looking at me with tears forming in her eyes.

"Are you Claire Carter?" she asked, her voice surprisingly even, despite the tears running down her face.

"Yes. Would you like to come in?" there was really no need for me to ask, she was already standing in the dining room where my office was set up before I had a chance to close the door.

"Please," I said," Sit down." She gracefully sat down in one of the chairs on a side of my desk. I took out a notepad and pen, ready to take notes if needed.

"Now, how can I help you?" I was trying to make eye contact with her now.

"Well," the girl began, keeping her eyes down," It's not my problem. Not entirely at least. It's my brothers and my to be sister in law's"

"Alright. Tell me about you family..." I was looking for her name.

"Alice. Alice Cullen. Well, I have three brothers and a sister, and two loving parents."

"Tell me about your brothers. What are they like?" I made columns to take note on each one.

"Well, there's Emmett. He's the oldest. He's sorta the protector of the family. Next is Jasper. He's my favorite brother. He really likes sports. Last is Edward." she said his name as if she had just eaten a snail or something weird tasting.

"Edward marches to his own drum in a way."

"What about your sister?"

"Rosalie is obsessed with her own perfection."

"So...," my mind searched for something to say," Your to be sister in law. Do you like her?" I was expecting her say something awful about her, but she just rambled on about how great Bella was.

"What do you need me to help you with then?"

"I can't decide which flowers bouquet goes best with the brides maids dresses! Bella let me be in charge of the wedding, so when I showed her the choices, she wouldn't say anything about them!"

"O.K.," I thought," You came all the way here- in tears- because you can't decide which flowers match the best?'"

"Well, can I help you decide?" I hadn't meant to say it, but it was to late now.

"Would you?!" she looked up at me, her face looking as if it had gained a slightest bit of color. But thats not what caught my attention. It was her eyes. They were golden tawny. Almost as if the Sun had hand crafted them, and stuck them in her head itself.

"I would love to." I lied with enthuasim.

"Oh! Brilliant! Meet me here tomorrow at eight A.M. We'll have to drive into Seattle to go shopping. Thanks so much!" Before I could even process what had just happened, she was out the door. A dance like gait in her step gave the air a weird presence of air in the room.

I barely even knew Alice, and yet I was going shopping with her tomorrow at eight.

"Great," I thought," Just great. I hate shopping."
