Bella jumped from her spot on the couch, where she had been wedged reading, when she heard the three hard knocks on her apartment door. Tossing her book on the coffee table, she moved towards the front door as it was opened by an impatient Alice. She would have been surprised had this not happened more than a few times since she'd become friends with her.

After looking over at her best friend she just sighed. The look on her face said that she was definitely up to something. Something that she would more than likely not enjoy, being a tester for one of Alice's new hairstyles, being dragged through the mall in search of new outfits that she would more than likely never wear, or the very worst- going clubbing.

"Bella!" Alice sang. "Rose and I are going out tonight, and you're coming."

She shook her head weakly, knowing that she wouldn't be able to change Alice's mind anyway. "I'm in the middle of a new book."

"Bella, it's Saturday night, and you've read Wuthering Heights more times than I can count. You're definitely coming with us."

"Where are we going?" She sighed.

"To a club. Jasper and Emmett are going to be there. Plus one of their very attractive, very single friends who is apparently just your type, will be there." She said, trying to sell Bella on the idea of a club.

"Alice, I hate clubs. And I don't want to meet any guys."

Bella didn't know why Alice and Rose kept trying to set her up with new guys. They had tried to set her up with a new guy at least once a month for the past two years. And when their prospective guys managed to ruin any chance they had with her, they already had their next candidate picked out. The sad thing is that all of the guys that picked were decent men. Though, not all of them were exactly what she was looking for.

At one point they had actually managed to ask out one of her colleagues, Andrew, behind her back. He was relatively attractive and he was a real sweetheart. When he was asked out by Rosalie, for Bella who was 'extremely shy', he readily agreed. The time and place was agreed on right then, and Bella was told about that date without idea who she would be going out with. Bella reluctantly agreed and when she arrived at the restaurant and saw who she was supposed to be on a date with, she turned around and left again. Andrew was married, and he had been for 9 years.

He had been a real winner, but he wasn't even the worst date her friends had set her up with. Jacob Black, even the name made her shudder, was by far the absolute worst. On the first date, things were going pretty well and he seemed promising, good hygiene, well dressed, relatively attractive and he was a nice guy. On the second and third date he had taken her out to a carnival and then to mini golf. He was so much fun, and he was actually someone Bella could see herself with for more than a few dates. A month passed by. Then two, and finally they had been together almost a year. Alice and Rose were so proud that she had finally thought who Bella had thought was 'the one'. The day of their one year anniversary, she walked into their apartment after getting groceries to make him a romantic dinner and found him having sex with another woman on their bed. That night she packed up everything she had moved into his house in New York the month before, and headed right back to her home in Forks. The plane ride was filled with tears that shouldn't have even been shed over him, and her heart was truly broken over a guy that cheated on her. And though she was done with Jacob Black, she still couldn't bring herself to date someone else, and she had told Alice and Rose that every time they'd tried to set her up since then. It had only been about five months, but after too many turned down guys they had just stopped trying.

Tonight had been the first offer she'd gotten since then, and Bella was thinking about accepting it just so that she could say she was truly over him. At 24 she was more than ready to have a husband and kids, or at least a nice steady boyfriend that hopefully wouldn't cheat on her.

Taking a deep breath she told Alice, "But I don't have anything nice to wear to meet a new guy."

Alice squealed and Rose who was walking throw the now open front door shot a look at her before smiling. "Bella agreed to come tonight?!"

A huge smile crossed her face and she nodded. "She even asked me to help her pick something to wear tonight because she wants to look good for Edward."

Rose looked over at Bella totally surprised that Alice hadn't somehow convinced her using methods of extreme torture, but Bella just shrugged and let a small smile come to rest on her face. "I'm done with being single."

Alice clapped her hands and Rosalie gave her a hug before ushering her into the huge bathroom down the hall.

"So, we need to leave in about an hour because we're meeting the guys at Moonlight at like 7:00." Alice explained, before turning to Rosalie and trying to formulate a plan for Bella's hair and make-up tonight.

"What is she wearing?"

Alice left the room for approximately 30 seconds, before returning with an entire outfit, shoes and accessories. It was a moderately low cut sky blue tank top, a pair of dark denim skinny jeans, and sky blue flats that matched the tank top perfectly.

Bella gasped. "Alice, I love it! And you're not even making me wear heels!"

Alice smiled. "Well, since you willingly agreed to come tonight, and we are going dancing, I figured that I could give you a small break. But I expect you to flirt like a pro tonight, and flaunt it girl."

With a small laugh she nodded, and turned back towards the impatient Rosalie who was currently curling her brown hair into thick curls that cascaded down her back, the front held in place with a black flower clip to match the necklace currently resting around Bella's neck.

Within a half hour, both Bella's make-up and her hair were finished. She was dressed, and she had to admit that she looked really good. Her make-up wasn't too heavy, and her hair looked perfect thanks to Rose.

Walking into the living room to grab her purse and the keys to her Royal Blue Camry, she looked at the clock and gasped. Hearing her Alice spun around, "What?!"

"You did all of this in a half hour?" Bella asked in surprise.

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "That's what happens when you're not fidgeting and protesting the entire time."

Bella smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. But, do you want to grab something to eat before we head to the club?"

"Let's go to Taco Bell!" Alice yelled.

Laughing, Bella and Rosalie agreed and after locking up the house, all three of them got into Bella's car and headed towards Port Angeles for the night. Hopefully something good would come from tonight, and maybe Bella wouldn't be single for much longer.
