A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! I got one asking me to clear up whether this would be Emmett/Bella or Edward/Bella. This will definitely be Emmett/Bella. Some of the characters are going to be a little OOC, like Rosalie (she's not her usual bitchy self), so I guess that's a warning. On to the new chapter!

This past week has been pretty good. I was pretty sure I was going to hate Forks, but I've made friends. Alice and Edward Cullen are really nice. They're in some of my classes and they're both juniors, but they're both dating seniors. I've met both Jasper and Rosalie, and they seem really nice. They have an older brother that I haven't met yet. I've been invited to eat lunch with them, but at the beginning of the week, one of my teachers assigned a group project due Friday (today) and I've been working on it with them this past week at lunch because it's the only time we could arrange for the entire group to get together.

Alice has invited me to a slumber party tonight at her house. Edward, Rosalie, Jasper, and their brother, Emmett, will all be there too. Finally, school was let out and Alice followed me to my truck. We were going to go to my house first so I could grab an overnight bag (she had just asked me to go this morning) and then we would go to her house.

"So are you excited?" she asked me as she jumped into my truck—which for her size, was a feat in itself.

"Yeah, I guess. I haven't gone to many slumber parties."

"Well, you're going to have tons of fun. We stay up all night and watch movies, eat junk food, and play games. My parents said we could have the living room, as long as we aren't too loud. Dad needs his sleep so he doesn't fall asleep when he's working on a patient or something."

"Okay. Do I need anything other than clothes and a toothbrush?"

"Well, usually we're all in our pajamas, so make sure you bring those…but other than that, if you have a movie you really want to watch, you can bring it."

"All right…why don't you come on in and I'll get my stuff?" I said as I pulled into the driveway. Charlie was home, so I didn't have to worry about calling the police station—he's the chief of police for Forks.

"Dad, I'm home!" I called.

"In the living room, Bells!" he called back. Alice followed me in there, where Charlie had a game on the television.

"Dad, this is my friend, Alice Cullen. Alice, this is my dad, Charlie."

"Nice to meet you, Alice," Charlie said.

"You too, Chief Swan."

"Call me Charlie."

"Okay. Is it all right with you if Bella comes over to my house for a sleepover?" she asked him.

"Sure. I'm glad to see she's making friends."

"Great!" Alice clapped her hands and bounced a little before following me up to my room. I grabbed my small duffel bag from under the bed and tossed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, clean underwear, socks, my toothbrush, hairbrush, and deodorant.

"Which pajamas should I bring?" I asked Alice.

"Where do you keep them?" she replied.

"They're in the top drawer." She opened it and pulled out all of the pajamas I had. I have sweats and a ratty old t-shirt that I usually wear, but she immediately passed those over for a pair of blue silk pants and a blue silk tank top—a set I had never worn that my mother bought for me last Christmas.

"Bring these. They're really nice, but casual enough."

"Okay. I guess I'm ready then," I told her and we left, saying goodbye to Charlie first. I drove to her house with her giving me directions. It really wasn't hard to get there, but the driveway was kind of obscure. You didn't really see it until you were right on it. I parked the truck next to Edward's Volvo and Alice took me inside. The house was gorgeous. The entire back wall was made of glass and the view was amazing. The house was pristine and it smelled wonderful—like warm chocolate chip cookies.

"Mom always makes cookies and snacks when we have friends over," Alice said. "Come on—the others are in the living room." She grabbed my hand and dragged me into the room, telling me to drop my bag by the sofa.

"Hi, Bella!" everyone greeted me…well, everyone except Emmett. He wasn't in the room.

"Where's Emmy?" Alice asked.

"He's taking a shower. He got flour all over himself," Edward laughed. Alice giggled. "He'll be down in a few minutes."

I was in the shower when Alice and Bella got here. I had been helping Mom bake cookies when I'd knocked the tub of flour out of the cabinet and straight onto my head. I was covered in the crap. I had to shampoo my hair twice to get all of it out—apparently when flour gets wet it turns into a paste. Finally I was clean, so I dried off and went into my room to put on the pajamas Alice had told me to wear tonight. They were comfortable pajama pants and a t-shirt. I put on my sunglasses and made my way downstairs. Normally I don't wear sunglasses in my house or around my family and Jasper and Rosalie, but I don't want to freak Bella out with my sightless eyes the first time I meet her.

I entered the living room, and for the second time that week, my foot caught on something and I tripped. Luckily I managed to catch myself on the sofa and I didn't fall on my face.

"Are you okay, Emmy?" Alice asked me.

"Yeah…what did I trip on this time?"

"You tripped on Bella's duffel bag."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have left it there," the sweetest voice I had ever heard spoke up.

"It's okay. I trip over shit a lot," I said with a laugh.

"Emmett, language!" Mom called from the kitchen.

"Sorry, Mom!" I yelled back.

"I'm Bella," the angel said.

"I'm Emmett," I replied, sticking my hand out in the general direction of her voice. Her soft hand took hold of mine and my heart damn near jumped out of my chest. She is so soft and she smells amazing.

"It's nice to meet you, Emmett," she said softly. I could only nod. Her hand left mine and she went to sit next to Alice. I sat down by Edward, my ears straining for every word that left her mouth. When I realized what I was doing, I mentally slapped myself. I had just met the girl, for God's sake, and I was already head over heels for her!

A/N: I had a bit of trouble deciding how they would meet, but I figure this is as good as any, lol. Next chapter will be a bit of truth or dare, some scary movies, and popcorn! Review please!
