Third chapter. Finally. Okay, I finally am getting closer to my fluff! By the way, I'm really getting tired of disclaimers, so I'm just gonna say it now, and I'm not gonna say it again for a few chapters:

I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT, but Andres and Sophie do belong to me. Yippee, I finally get some characters. That should hold you for a while. Ergh, I really didn't want to work on this right now, so you guys owe me big time. I'll take it in reviews please ) By the way, this takes place in 1917. You'll find out why I say this in one of the next few chapters.

Chapter 3-Alice

When I woke up, Edward was still asleep. Typical. As far as I knew, Edward had always slept in longer than was proper. I laid there for a while, than crawled over Edward and reached down to grab Edward's bag, which was sitting right next to the bed. As I expected, there was a book. Edward loved books so much that I wasn't surprised that he had thought to back one. I ignored the title and started reading since I couldn't walk.

After a little while, I heard a loud "ACH!" I jumped and looked at Edward, and saw him sitting there, laughing at me! "Ugh, I hate you." I mumbled, and smacked him on the arm. "Ow, that hurt!" But I knew Edward was kidding. I wasn't strong enough to hurt him in anyway. "Baby." I muttered under my breath.

Then in a louder voice, I asked "Are we staying here another night?" Edward smiled. "Yeah, we're going to wait until you're feet are better. That'll probably be another week. But thank goodness I'm a good carpenter. I'm going to make a new bed while you and Sophie go shopping. If I make a simple one, it should be done late tonight." I nodded. "She'll take you around on Andres.

"So, you want to go to the kitchen now?" He asked when my stomach started growling. I felt heat crawling up my face, knowing right now I was probably tomato red.

When we got into the kitchen, Sophie was there making eggs. "Morning guys." She smiled, "I'm fixing breakfast right now. Why don't you go sit down." We sat down in the same chairs as last night. I talked to Sophie about random things while she fixed the eggs. Edward just listened in, and occasionally laughed.

After we had eaten, which by the way, the eggs were delicious, Edward said goodbye and hurried off behind the house to start working on the bed. Sophie smiled and said, "I'll be right back." She down the hallway and came out with my dress, minus all the dirt stains from traveling. Since there was no windows in the kitchen, she helped me change there. Then she said "Wait a second." And walked out the back door. A few minutes later, she came in the front door and said "Andres is all ready, but I'm going to have to carry you to him because Edward is so involved with his bed-making." We started giggling, and it took us a minute to regain the proper composure.

Sophie turned around and had me climb up on her back. I knew she was struggling, but she quickly had me outside and on Andres. She hopped on behind me, and we rode around town.

The first place that we stopped at was a tiny shop that I had delicate dresses in the windows, showing off their best. "Hey Sophie?" I asked.

"Hmm?" I took a deep breath "I don't have any money." To my surprise, Sophie started laughing.

"Yes, Edward told me about that last night after you went to bed. He's going to help out around the house in return for me buying you some stuff."

I nodded slowly. I guessed that it was okay, but it wasn't fair that Edward had to do the work just because I couldn't. But I knew Edward would never change his mind, so I was stuck.

"Well, you stay here for a second." Sophie jumped off Andres walked into the store. She came out a minute later with a tall man with blonde hair that hung in his eyes. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. He held out his arms and said, "May I?" His voice was deep and kind. I nodded, and he picked me up as Edward often did, and he carried my into the shop.

Once we were inside, and Sophie and I were sitting in some small wooden chairs by the door, the man said, "Heelo, my name is Joseph." His voice was thick with a French accent. I didn't know how I missed that before. "How may I 'elp vou?"

"Hello, my name is Sophie and this is my friend Victoria, and we need to get her some dresses." Sophie was bouncing in her seat-which I had never thought I would ever see- and it became clear to me how very much she liked shopping. I could tell that this would take forever.

"Okay, leet me get my wife." Joseph jogged to the back of the shop, and through a large curtain. A minute later, a very pretty woman with raven-black hair who had a soft smile on her face walked slowly into the room.

The next two hours were extremely long. Sophie insisted on me trying on nearly every dress in the shop, and finally, we left the store with ten new dresses. We rode back to the house and dropped off the clothes. Edward decided that we should go get lunch at a tavern, and he walked while we rode Andres to a small tavern. Sophie said the food there was delicious.

Edward and I sat across from each other, and Sophie sat between us. While Edward dug into his meal, I noticed that Sophie just picked at her food. I decided to ask her what's wrong later.

Edward walked home while Sophie took me to go get shoes. About halfway to the shoe store, I asked, "Sophie, is something wrong?"

Sophie bit her lip, then took a deep breath, "No, well, actually yes. The reason I hate my parents is because they sent my younger sister, Mary Alice to an insane asylum. She had visions of the future, and they thought she was crazy! I knew they were real visions, and know I'm not allowed to see her ever again! My younger sister Cynthia was devastated, we loved her so much. Alice was so sweet, but she loved to shop, a lot more than I do. Now she can never shop again. I swear she wasn't crazy! She wouldn't want to go to that…that…place." By now, Sophie was close to tears.

I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight. "I am so sorry." I muttered. "No, no, it's not your fault. I haven't talked to my parent's though since I moved out." Sophie said quietly, "And I never will again."

"Please don't tell Edward I acted like this." I knew Edward wouldn't care, but I nodded anyway. I had a wild guess that Sophie liked him.

We got to the store, and since Sophie had the exact same foot size as me, she tried on the shoes instead.

When we were done shopping, we went home and Sophie fixed dinner while Edward questioned me about my day. I made sure not to mention Sophie's…outburst, for lack of a better word.

Edward had his bed done, and he slept on that one. Apparently he had gone out and gotten a mattress while we were out. I slept dreamlessly that night, exhausted from the day of shopping.

Yes, Alice has another sister. I needed an older sister for this, so let's just say there is no record of Sophie ever being Alice's sister because Sophie formally removed herself from all family records. Thank sudden inspiration for the Sophie shopping addict. I'll update sooner this time if you guys review more. I will not update until I get at least ten reviews.
