A/N Once again, the word processing program I use froze and I lost everything whilst editing. Now I have to resort too Word '97 so you can understand why I think the world is against my writing. That and the fact no one bothers to review so I don't know if me writing is even worth it because no one sys if it's good or bad! Frustrating! I did have fun with this chapter though, I enjoyed writing it so I hope you like reading it!

Hmm, sad or happy, sad or happy... happy. Definitely. I'll be mostly happy tonight seeing as I get another opportunity to give Barbie Bella a make over and I have the perfect outfit for her. I refuse to be sad that she's leaving. Besides, I have the sneaking suspicion that it won't be for long... but in case it is I need to imprint a beautiful Bella into everyone's mind for until the next time we see her. When I am done with her Edward will fall over himself trying to ask her out/confess secret undying love for her! It's going to be so brilliant! Especially with Rosalie here to do her makeup whilst I do her hair. I looked at the clock in my closet (I have it there so I don't lose track of time inside my beautiful shoe collection). Eek! Only two hours until dinner starts! Silly flights, she leaves at four in the morning tomorrow so we only have until two with her. That's only eight hours... This week has gone so quickly and it hasn't had anywhere near as many makeovers as it should've... ah well. I shall make up for it now, with a beautiful finale. I have to hurry and get her ready!
"BELLA! YOU GET YOUR BUT UP HERE NOW! DON'T PRETEND YOU CAN'T HEAR ME BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN!" I yelled. I don't get why that girl hates these make-overs so much. This and shoe shopping. She is such a weirdo, I mean she'd prefer to hang out with my dorky idiot of a brother who can't even realise he loves her! Is it so hard for everyone to listen to me and realise that yes, they do need a new pair of Stella McCartney heels and yes they are in love with who I say they're in love with?
"Alice, do we have to do this? I'm only going to end up uncomfortable and irritable for my last dinner her for a year and I want to be as happy as possible," Bella said as she entered the room. The girl is a novice in the ways of persuasion. Also I had had a feeling she would say that so I didn't get her a custom made Dolce & Gabbana dress but instead opted for skinny jeans and a top. Only it's not as plain as that of course. For one thing her shoes have real jewels on them.... Also I have a clutch bag for her in case Emmett ruins Esme's kitchen like last time and we have to go to the Italian restaurant in Portland Bella likes so much. I've even booked a table there just to be sure and it's a Wednesday night. Nothing is going to go wrong tonight.
"EMMETT! GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN YOU ARE NOT A CHEF! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU BOUGHT A CHEF'S HAT ON E-BAY! GET OUT NOW! EMMETT NO!" Esme screamed downstairs. At the end of her scream there was a big crashing noise. I told Emmett not to blow twenty bucks on that chef hat, that he'd still be banned from the kitchen. He's been banned ever since he found out that to check if spaghetti's ready you can throw it against the wall and if it sticks it's ready. He went overboard as usual and when we all came home from shopping the kitchen was in ruins. Chef hats can't make up for that kind of damage.
"Alice, you booked the table in Portland didn't you?" Esme asked, appearing in my bedrooms doorway.
"Of course," I said. I really am a superhero.
"Bella, I spent weeks trying to find a nice comfortable outfit for you so SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!" I screamed. There isn't enough time to persuade her.
"Want some help?" Rose asked as she wandered in to my room.
"The usual. You're on makeup duty whilst I do her hair," I stated. I think Jasper's military obsession is rubbing off on me. Not enough time to think about that though as I turned the curlers on.

"Bella, I love you," Edward said as we ran through the meadow. He stopped and pulled me backwards down onto the grass and I didn't care that I was ruining my beautiful yellow dress, only about savouring this moment with him. That was when he pinned me down and gave me a soft, sweet kiss.
"Bella, wake up," said Edward in a female voice. His lips had moved but that was definitely not his voice. What?
"BELLA!" Rosalie yelled. My eyes flew open and I took in my surroundings. I'm still in this stupid chair being made over and that was all just a dream. Dammit.
"We're done!" Alice said in her excited pixie voice. I looked in the mirror and...
"WHAT THE FRICK!"I screamed. My hair! My beautiful straight, waist long hair is gone! It's been replace by short curls! No!
"Bella! Calm down, I've just trimmed it," Alice said in a soothing voice.
"TRIMMED IT!?! YOU'VE CUT HALF OF IT OFF!" I screamed. Ok, maybe I am over reacting but this is like losing a limb.
"It's still long, it's down to your shoulders and it's layered. I think you look gorgeous," Rosalie said. Breathe Bella, breathe. It does look quite nice, I suppose. I vow to never fall asleep and give Alice free reign ever again.
"You gave me a side fringe?! I look like a, like a-" I started and stuttered.
"Fashionable teenage girl?" Alice asked hopefully.
"Exactly! It's not... me!" I said. I looked, strange. For years I have had been growing my long hair and not had a fringe. Now it's all... short and fringy.
"Look we don't have time to go through this. Bella get dressed, your clothes are in the bathroom. Go! Alice said, practically throwing me off the chair. She is far too strong for someone her size, it's creepy.
I growled and went through to Alice's bathroom. There waiting for me was my outfit and three things came into my head.
A) It was perfect
B) Do those shoes have jewels on them?!
C) Yep, those are real jewels. The box says Alexander McQueen- Black Swarovski Peep Toe - Black. I do not want to see the price tags for this outfit.
I came out of the bathroom and looked in a full length mirror. It was like someone is standing there. I had curls and a side fringe. My make up is flawless, making me appear airbrushed and a natural looking glow. The deep blue Valentino sleeveless top with a neat bow in the middle looks gorgeous paired with white 7 for Mankind skinny jeans and the Sparkle Heels is just... wow. I don't get fashion but I know what a gorgeous outfit is and this must be the definition. Then Alice came out in a pencil skirt, sleeveless top with a bow on the left shoulder and black heels (which made her an adult height) and handed me a leather purple metallic clutch bag.
"It's time," She said with a straight face. Nutcase.

"Emmett, trying to juggle plates in kitchen whilst Esme is cooking is bad enough, but plates with food on them?" I said to the great immature buffoon cousin of mine.
"Dude, you should have seen it. It was sick," he said. He actually sounded proud that he had ruined Esme's hard work and forced us to go to a restaurant all the way in Portland.
"You're an idiot. How much longer do you reckon the girls are going to be?" I asked him. He looked deep in thought. Ha! Him thinking.
"I know! I'll go up there and ask Rosie!" He declared.
"She'll cut your manhood off if you interrupt a Barbie Bella session," I pointed out. It wouldn't be the first time he's burst in on a makeover and been threatened with death/ losing parts of his anatomy. He was about to argue when Bella screamed "WHAT THE FRICK!" Oh no. That doesn't sound good. "TRIMMED IT!?! YOU'VE CUT HALF OF IT OFF!" Oh no. They've taken it too far if they have cut her hair. Her long hair is gorgeous and Bella is very protective of it. Way too protective if you ask me.
"Want to be whooped at Wii while we wait?" I asked. It's best to stay as far away from hysterical Bella as possible
"Oh, it's on lil' Eddiekins. You are going so far down you'll be hanging with the mole people," Emmett declared. He is such a child.
"Emmett, can we stop now?" I asked. I was beating him 5-0 and he was about to throw the remote through the T.V for the second time this month.
"We're ready!" I heard Alice yell down the stairs. I turned the Wii off and went into the hall to get my keys when I saw Bella standing in front of the front door.
"Edward! Are you Ok?" Bella asked as she helped me up from the ground. Note to self: Never eat off of floor, even if it's clean enough to d so. It will taste of floor.
"Yeah, I was just surprised to see you there," I said, sounding like a moron. She's meant to be the clumsy one, not me!
"Come on you guys, Edward stop falling over yourself at Bella's beauty," the pixie said in an 'I know you why you fell over it's because you secretly love her' way which she always uses whenever I mess up around Bella. She is obsessed with the idea me and Bella are more then friends. She walked off to Carlisle's car and I helped Bella across the garden.
The shoes Bella is wearing are going to kill her. She can trip over on flat stable ground just walking, never mind in massive heels. She can't even stand on the spot with them. I don't get why girls get dressed up. Though those heels do make her legs look long. That top makes her skin look creamy and teamed with those jeans her figure looks…
"Edward, stop staring at me," Bella said. Now I'm not just a falling over moron but a perv as well. Smooth Cullen
I don't get the fuss about the hair. She looks nicer with the side fringe. Overall I am very aware that she is a girl in that outfit. Much better then jeans and a hoodie. I just want to take her aside and...
"EDWARD! Seriously! Stop staring at me like I'm something to eat!" she said. When the hell did she get so confident? I looked down feeling my face going red. Crap, am I blushing? This is not good. I opened the car door for Bella and helped her in.
"Who's going in this car?" I asked Alice who was now making out with Jasper. She stopped eating his face to respond.
"Only you and Bella, Emmett's getting Charlie from La Push and Jasper, Rosalie and I are going with the elders," Alice said. She then went back to sucking face.
She had so planned it so Bella and I got to go together. Damn her and her scheming! I got into the Volvo and turned the engine on seeing as I don't have to wait for anyone else.
"I, Bella Swan vow to kill Alice Hitler Cullen," Bella said in a scouts honour pose, with one hand on her heart and the other in the air.
"She'll just take you shopping if you try a revenge plot," I pointed out. I have been a shopping victim many a time.
"She cut my long beautiful hair off! It took years to get it that long and she just cut it off on a whim! RAWR!" Bella said. It has been years since she's made that noise so she must be angry. I haven't heard her go Rawr since third grade.
"I think it looks luscious." WTF!? Did I just say luscious? Am I trying to sound gay? "I mean, it suits you," Still verging on gay but not as bad.
"I don't care! I still don't like it and I still don't like her!" Bella said. She calmed down in a few minutes though and we started talking our usual junk. We were just being Edward and Bella like old times. It was a little awkward on my part though as I have never been so aware the she is a girl. Well I know she's a girl, but I had forgotten just how much of a girl she is. Hoodies and baggy jeans just made her Bella in my mind. This outfit made her Girl Bella though and boy is there a difference. Just as we were really having fun we reached the stupid restaurant.
"Everyone's already here," Bella said. Sure enough the Emmett's jeep and Carlisle's car were already here.
"Dammit, I forgot to drive fast," I said. Usually I had fun with my Volvo, testing its skills. This time I had followed the… speed limit. I shuddered involuntarily.
"You drove like a sane person!" Bella said surprised. I didn't want to think about it anymore it's too disturbing. I got out and held the door open for Bella, even adding a little bow. Whenever Bella was around I always acted like this, like a kid on Christmas. Must just be the little kid coming out at all those memories.

As soon as we walked in Alice pounced on us.
"Why did you take so long!?" She asked. She reminds me of a little puppy, always jumping up at you.
"Edward was driving slowly for a change," I said simply. Alice looked confused. It really wasn't Edward like or even Cullen like to follow the sapped limit. I ignored her though and made beeline straight for the open chairs at the big round table that everyone was sitting at. I was almost there when Edward stopped me and almost sent me flying. He put me straight again though and cleared his throat.
"Every one, Bella has some news for you," He said and sat down. Damn him, now everyone in the restaurant is looking at me.
"Oh no, not again," Charlie said, making the table laugh. Well, not the table obviously but the people sitting at it.
"Urm, well I uh…" I began. I'm meant to be good at English! I want to be an author yet I can't even string a sentence together when it comes to public speaking.
"Well, you see Renee has run off with the circus as a make up artist and I'm being kicked out of Phoenix. I'm moving back here to live with Charlie," I said rather quickly. Everyone cheered and Alice immediately had to say something and interrogate me.
"YOU'RE KIDDING!" She yelled at such a high pitch it left my ears ringing. She scares me when she's in happy Alice mode.
"When are you moving?"
"I will be a permanent resident of forks by next week," I said quickly. It's quick fire interrogation time.
"Are you going to Forks high?"
"Well where else would I go?"
"You mean I get to watch you fall over again in the canteen!" Emmett said. Alice shushed him and Edward rolled his eyes.
"Are you happy to move back?"
"Of course I am!" Well I was hardly going to go NO I HATE YOU I HAV EBEEN SENTENECEED TO HELL BY MOVING HERE!
"Has Renee really run away with the circus?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Or are you really moving here because you and Edward have realised your undying lo-"
"So this isn't a leaving party after all!" I said cutting off Alice. She is such a tool sometimes.
"LET'S CELEBRATE!" Emmett yelled and for once Rose didn't smack him on the back of the head.
For the next hour or two we were by far the nosiest table in a mostly empty restaurant. We had eaten, laughed at Emmett and watched a waitress flirt with Edward. It was like old times.
"Hey honey, what are you ordering? Let me guess. You want something steamy for dessert?" the waitress asked. I want to slap her.
"No, he doesn't," I answered. It's best not to let Edward speak in these situations in case he says something, well, Edward like.
"You know, there are private tables in the back if you want something extra on the side if you know what I mean," she even licked her lips as she said that. Lord help me.
"Oh, I wasn't aware this was part restaurant part brothel. They really should put that in the adverts," I said. This girl does not want to pick a fight with me.
"I'm sorry about the prude. She obviously doesn't know what you want," she said in a husky voice that was meant to sound husky but it just sounded like she was an old lady with a bad smoking habit.
"Please, he's not interested ion the likes of you. Are the tips here not good enough? Do you have to resort to providing extra services on the side to pay for your addictions?" I said. Rosalie looked proud of me.
"Honey, you obviously don't know what your man wants otherwise he would have told me to go away, not you," she said. She obviously isn't aware that his parents are watching her with disgust. "We can ditch them and go grab a drink if you want."
"No thanks," Edward said, pretending not to be staring at her chest which was in his face.
"I'll just have whatever he's having," Edward said, gesturing towards Jasper.
"You sure?" She asked. Boy, she really didn't get the message.
"He's sure," I said before he could respond. She picked up his menu even had the guts to slip him her number on a napkin. Then she walked over to me.
"What do you want? Something off the kids menu? Because you are no where near the woman enough for big boy here," she said in a taunting voice. I remained sweet though.
"No I want the…" I said, pointing at something random at the menu. She leant forward to read it and I put my foot out. When she took a step backwards she tripped and fell on to the table behind us into an old mans plate of spaghettis bolognaise.
"That steamy enough for you?" Edward asked smirking. She stormed off and I turned round with a smug grin on my face even though I was trying to hide it.
"Go Bella!" Rosalie said and everyone went "Yeah! Go Bella!" after her. Everyone but the adults did anyway.
"I feel oddly proud of you…" Charlie said with a moustache spreading smile.
"If Emmett had done that I would kill him but its you so … Nice one!" Carlisle said taking a drink of water. Carlisle and Charlie couldn't drink alcohol because they were on call and Esme doesn't drink any kind of alcohol.
"Bella you go girlfriend!" Esme said whilst doing the Z- click that girl gangsters do in movies. Everyone laughed at that.
The guys were arguing about cars, the girls were talking about there favourite designer and me and Edward were talking rubbish when Carlisle got paged.
"Great there's been a pile up on the highway," he said getting up. "I'm needed at the hospital."
"The station will need me. Can you give me a lift down?" Charlie asked.
"I'll drive you two down and see if they need any volunteers," Esme offered. She really has a heart of gold. They all said there good byes and apologies for leaving early. Carlisle left some money for the check which Alice took and they all left.
As soon as they were out the door Alice got up and paid the check.
"Why are you paying? We've still got hours before Bella needs to go! Emmett said. It's true, my plane departs at four o'clock and it's only nine.
"We're leaving here but the party isn't over! We have no parental supervision for the night and it's holidays so we don't have school tomorrow!" Alice declared.
This will not turn out good. It can't turn out good. Every time we get in this situation it leads to hangovers, destruction and sometimes mug shots.
Next chapter will be drinking games and if it works according to plan you'll find out that Eddie is up to something… the beginning of the serious/ main storyline! Also when I was writing this I got extremely distracted going on the internet and finding Bella and Alice's outfit so the links are on my profile just so it hasn't all gone to waist. The only made up part are white 7 for mankind jeans. On the website they don't have single pair of white ones, which is weird to say the least. So yeah, links on profile and the next chapter will get done soon! Please review, the only person to review lives on my street and she's reviewed TWICE so YOU can be the only other person to review! What an honour! If you review you get the next chapter dedicated to you and I will check your stories out if you have any. Fair trade? ;D
