Okay, here's the next chapter!!! Enjoy! I don't Own Twilihght, New Moon, Or Eclipse. I also don't own John and Owen!!

The Perfect Man

"What movie do you guys want to watch?" Rosalie asked as she prepared the popcorn in the new microwave we bought today. Both Alice and Rosalie told me to stay away from this microwave, afraid that I would try to blow this microwave up too. Every time I've tried to heat something up today they took it out of my hands and put it in the microwave for me. I haven't used the new microwave at all since we brought it home this morning.

Alice ran over to our collection of movies in the living room and scanned the shelf for a movie for the three of us to watch. Sunday was our movie night. Every Sunday night the three of us curl up on the couch together and watch a movie, eat popcorn, and talk about anything and everything. Alice grabbed a movie off the shelf and came running back into the kitchen. "Let's watch "The Perfect Man"!!" She squealed, shoving the movie in front of my face and Rosalie's.

"Ugh, no,' Rosalie said in disgust. "I don't want to watch a movie with any romance in it, especially not one where the mom falls in love with a man she's never met, much less a man that doesn't exist!!" Rosalie had been in a sour mood ever since she came home from her date the night before, Alice and I tried to get her to tell us about her date, but she was quick to change the subject. "Let's watch a horror movie instead."

Alice and Rosalie broke into a fight over which movie to watch; Alice fighting to watch "The Perfect Man", Rosalie fighting to watch the original "When a Stranger Calls". Ten minutes later I found myself on the couch smashed between an excited Alice and a fuming Rosalie. I held the popcorn in my lap and Alice started the movie.

I stared at the screen blankly, I wasn't paying attention to the movie, I was too busy thinking about last night. How many more Saturdays will I spend alone before I finally meet someone? If I meet someone at all? I imagined myself growing old without someone to love, just me and my twenty seven cats.

I continued to stare at the screen, but instead of seeing the movie I saw myself, old, lonely, and surrounded by twenty seven cats. I started talking to them, like a crazy person. "Jim, what are you doing up on the counter, you silly cat, you might fall off and get hurt." I scolded a black cat walking around on the counter top.

"Fluffy, stop chewing on the lamp cord, you're going to electrocute yourself, do you want to turn into a burnt fluff ball?" I asked a fluffy black and gray cat chewing on the cord of a lamp in the living room. "Twinkle Toes, Belle! Stop fighting over the litter box!" There's plenty of room for both of you to do your business! I yelled at the two cats fighting to use the litter box in the corner of the room.

"Smokey, stop staring at the canary like it is food, you're a vegetarian remember? Will power, you don't need meat." I talked to the gray cat discouragingly as it stared longingly at the yellow canary playing in its cage.

"Snowball, no! You're going to dump the fish bowl on the floor. I shouted at the white cat in the living room with its paw submerged in the goldfish bowl. "Tom, are you playing me music?" I laughed at the black cat jumping around on the keys of the piano in the family room.

I turned to look out the window and screamed. "Checkers! What are you doing up in that tree? Hang on baby, mommy's coming!" I ran outside with a ladder and started climbing toward the black, white, and gray cat stuck in the tree. I was almost to the cat when my foot slipped on one of the rungs. I screamed as fell backwards, toward the hard ground…

I shuddered and quickly turned my head away from the television, afraid of what my imagination would drag up next. "Bella are you okay?" Alice asked hesitantly. I looked at Alice and then at Rosalie who were both staring at me as if I had two heads. I shook my head from side to side to clear it before answering.

"Um, yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I asked, looking between Alice and Rosalie's skeptical expressions.

"Bella, you don't have a cat named Jim." Rosalie said looking me straight in the eye.

"Or Twinkle Toes and Belle," Alice added, and Rosalie nodded her head in agreement. Uh-oh, had I said those things out loud? No wonder they were staring at me as if I had gone crazy, they were probably contemplating locking me away in an insane asylum.

"I'm sorry, I hadn't realized I was saying that out loud." I mumbled, my face turning bright red with embarrassment.

"Bella, is there something you want to talk about?" Rosalie asked me. "You've been distracted all day." How was I going to explain to them what had happened? They would for sure lock me away if I told them. In my head I could see Alice picking out colors for my straight jacket and matching padded walls. I saw her lecturing the workers about wearing all white. I could practically hear her saying "White is such a boring color! Why don't you try wearing pink? Or blue, or purple? Green will make your eyes stand out, and red will compliment your skin tone…"

Luckily, the door bell rang distracting both Alice and Rosalie. "Pizza's here!" Alice exclaimed as she jumped up off the sofa and ran to the door. She looked through the peep hole before opening the door. "Oh, he's cute!" she said as she grabbed the money off the table. When she opened the door a tall, blond-haired boy stood there with the pizza box poised high in his hand.

His eyes appraised Alice appreciatively and Alice giggled. I looked over at Rosalie who smiled at me and rolled her eyes. "Hello, miss." The delivery boy said smoothly.

"Hello yourself," Alice replied, grinning up at him.

The delivery boy beamed at Alice, his eyes were bright and his face seemed to glow. "You're total is twenty-five sixty-two," he said lightly.

Alice handed him two twenties. When he reached to get the change Alice put her hand over his and said "Keep the change." The delivery boy's eyes met Alice's and he smiled at her. Alice's returning smile was dazzling and it left the delivery boy stunned.

"Thank you," the delivery boy recovered. "Have a nice night, miss." He said to Alice as he started to turn to leave.

"Good night!" Alice called after him. He laughed in response, waved, and continued down the hall and out of sight. Alice shut the door and turned back to us. "Oh my God!" She squealed. "Did you guys see him? Oh my God, he was hot! I think I need a cold shower!" Rosalie and I burst into laughter as Alice stood there fanning herself, trying to cool down form her encounter with the delivery boy.

"Down girl," Rosalie told Alice. "Don't forget, you have a boyfriend." Alice's smile disappeared from her face and she scowled at Rosalie.

"Anthony? Yeah, I know. But how many times am I going to see that delivery boy again? I'd be lucky if I ever see him again. So there's no danger." Alice walked back over to the couch with the pizza and sat back down.

"Whatever Alice," Rosalie said, snatching the pizza box away from Alice.

"You know, Rosalie," Alice said, "You never told us about your date last night." Rosalie took a slice of pizza from the box and quickly took a bite to delay answering Alice. "Bella?" Alice nudged me with her elbow.

"No, Alice. I'm not talking the pizza away from Alice." Alice opened her mouth to say something, so I quickly added, "And no, I'm not taking the pizza out of her mouth! I've done it enough times for you."

Every time Rosalie doesn't want to answer Alice, she crams food into her mouth and Alice makes me take the food away from Rosalie. Rose would run away and make the funniest faces, and try to bite me. It was funny the first twenty times, now it was just old and gross, and dangerous. Rosalie bites hard. The last time she bit me, she drew blood.

Rosalie finished eating her slice of pizza and then looked up at Alice, "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes!" Alice yelled at Rose.

"Fine, the date was going fine until John starting rambling on about his midget best friend." Rosalie always referred to John's best friend as "The Midget". I felt bad for Owen, it's not his fault he's so short.

"Rose, don't call Owen a midget. He's just under five feet, that's not necessarily a midget." Rosalie glared at me for interrupting her. I smiled at her and waited for her to continue.

"Anyway," Rosalie continued, "He kept talking about 'The Shot', you know, the one I was telling you about, where John lifts Owen up so Owen can slam-dunk the basketball?" Alice and I nodded our heads, waiting patiently for the rest. "He talked about how he and The Midget practiced the shot for five hours straight and then he bragged that they completed 'The Shot' in under three seconds. As if I give a shit about 'The Stupid Shot'!!" Rosalie threw her hands up in exaggerated frustration.

I patted Rosalie on the back. "It's okay Rosalie. But you can't expect John to cut Owen out of his life to be with you. He's Owen's only friend, they're very close." Rosalie looked at me in disbelief, as if I were a traitor.

"Bella's right, Rose. John can't just drop Owen for you." Rosalie glared at Alice and then glared at me.

"Thanks, it's good to know that my two best friends are against me." Rosalie smiled at us to tell us that she didn't hate us, and we burst out laughing. "I guess I was just over-reacting,' Rosalie admitted. "I just had the strangest feeling that John likes Owen more than me, but that's ridiculous, right?" I rolled my eyes and Alice laughed.

"Yeah, Rose, that is ridiculous, John and Owen aren't gay, I can assure you." Alice said, and the laughter started again.

When the movie finished the three of us laid in a circle on the floor talking. Alice's eyes wandered over to the empty pizza box and she sighed. "He was gorgeous…." She said dreamily. I looked up at Rosalie, we didn't have to ask to know who she was talking about. Then Alice's eyes wandered over to the DVD case on the coffee table and her eyes lit up. "Rosalie, describe what your perfect man would be like!" Rosalie smiled at Alice before launching into a description of her perfect man.

"He would be strong, because he needs to be able to keep up with me," Rosalie grinned evilly as she said this. "He would be good-looking, pleasing to look at, you know. His kiss would make me go weak at the knees, and he would be protective of me. I would always be safe with him. He would have a good sense of humor, and he would be totally devoted to me." Rosalie's eyes became distant as she imagined her perfect man. A few minutes later, her eyes came back into focus and she turned to Alice. 'Alice, describe your perfect man."

Alice glanced back at the pizza box before starting in on her description. "My perfect man would be tall, to make up for my lack of height, he would be strong also, but his muscles wouldn't be bulky, because of his height. He would be intelligent, and when I take him shopping he'd be able to add my totals up in his head. He'd be able to keep up with me when I go shopping, he'd be sweet and his smile would be lovely, like the rest of him. He'd have blond hair, and his eyes would sparkle when he looked at me, and…" she fell silent as her eyes fell on the pizza box again. Her head snapped up and she smiled at me. "Bella, describe your perfect man."

My perfect man? I had never given much thought to that before. "Um, my perfect man would be charming and sweet. He would be able to catch me when I trip and fall and he'd be able to relieve my embarrassment, he would be able to make me incredibly happy, and he would protect me from anything, myself included."

A comfortable silence followed as the three of us became lost in our own thoughts, thinking about our perfect me. I sighed, inwardly, it was a nice thought, thinking that there really was a perfect man out there for me. But if I was being honest with myself, even if there was a perfect man out there for me, the chances of me finding him were a million to one.

Thanks for reading! If you really like this story, please review and tell me what you think! Is there anything that I could do to make this story better? Let me know! Don't be shy! I'll try to update as soon as possible! Okay, as of now, Bella and Edward will meet next chapter. I don't think that will change, it's possible, but unlikely. You'll just have to wait and see I guess!!
