Bella POV

I was in Alice's dressing room which was probably bigger than my bedroom. She was rummaging through some of her clothes saying that I needed something special to wear. I actually didn't care. I bet Mike wouldn't notice if I'd only wore a garbage bag. While I sulking behind some coats, Alice suddenly poked her head in.

"OMG! I've found the perfect outfit for this occasion!"

Her high soprano voice was actually one octave higher. Was that even possible? I stepped out in front of the clothes Alice set out for me which were hanged up. She picked out a cherry pink, silk, halter dress that went a little over my knees. Though I liked how the neck part crossed it was jus not me. It showed too much.........skin. Under the dress was a pair of gold pumps that sparkled in the light. It actually reminded me a lot about Edward. I didn't see him for the last 3 hours after Alice had dragged me away. Alice suddenly appeared in front of me almost visibly vibrating.

"What do you think? Don't answer, that was a rhetorical question."

Before giving me the time to say anything, she pushed me toward a jewelry case. Inside were thousands and thousands of jewelry from Dior, Channel, Gucci, and D&G. Then she took out a gold bangle with crystals and a matching pair of gold crystal earrings. The earrings were ring-shaped and both the inside and outside were studded with clear crystals.

"Beautiful..."

Damn it... Before I knew it, I word of complement came out of my mouth.

"I..I mean that it's okay... But it seems to look a bit expensive."

Alice just grinned before taking out a metallic, leather, gold clutch. Then she pushed me back to her dressing room with the clothes before I remembered one humongous fact. I was going on a date (blegh!) with Mike. I kept on thinking that I was going out with Edward.. What a huge mistake!

"no,No,NO!!"

I jumped away from Alice backing against the door ready to run. I would surely not wear a dress that showed this much skin! Think of me wearing these pumps and tripping the whole day! Edward wouldn't even be there to catch me when I fall! (A/N I just got this really comically thought about Mike trying to catch Bella when she fell. But it wouldn't turn out well. I mean Mike is no Edward Cullen. LOL) NO, NO WAY!

I jumped away from Alice backing against the door ready to run. I would surely not wear a dress that showed this much skin! Think of me wearing these pumps and tripping the whole day! NO, NO WAY!

Alice gave full force on me with her puppy eyes.

"Why? They're beautiful! You said it yourself!"

"I am so not wearing this in front of Mike! He'll think I made an effort and make a mistake that I like him! Anyway, it's not even a party! I don't need any kind of luxurious clothes or jewelry."

"For me-"

"No!"

Alice jutted her lower lip and walked away. I felt very, very bad… However I would not change my option. Anyways, Alice would bring another outfit in just a few seconds. She was Alice. Right on Q, Alice flew past me with a pile of clothes, shoes, and jewelry in her hands.

"Alice! Remember, no party clothes!"

She then stood in front of me with an Emmett-ish grin on her face. She held out two pieces of cloth which-surprisingly- I actually liked! For the top she held out a short trench coat that was fit for just a shirt. It a very dark black color with a little navy in it. She also held out a grey plaid mini-skirt that came above my knees. Though I arched my eyebrow I kept going on.

"Do you like it? What do you think? Huh?"

Alice, again, was exited and vibrating. I sighed and smiled. What else could I do? For the sake of the safety of Earth, and me I told her I liked it. It wasn't actually a lie though. I just didn't like the fact that this shirt would be 3 times expensive than my favorite pair of jeans.

After squealing, Alice showed the rest of the things she brought. A pair of earrings, tall boots, and clutch. The earrings seemed too expensive so I refused at first. After 10 minutes or so of fighting and persuading, I was stuck in wearing them. They were beautiful of course, though they were shaped unique. They were spiral like, with all the circles inside the circles. It was studded with blue and transparent crystals. It actually matched with me well, and I had a feeling that Edward would like it too. The shoes weren't that bad too. I liked the fact that there weren't any heels. Gosh, that made a big difference. They were tall pull on slouch boots with small wrinkles and were a greenish black. Alice gave me smile when she saw me at aw looking at the shoes.

"They're beautiful, don't you think? I got them made especially in Milan for this kind of occasion."

Wow. I never thought that a simple sentence could change my whole opinion. I immediately moved one step away. Last but not least I saw the clutch which Alice seemed to admire by the way she looked at it. It was turquoise and made out of soft leather and felt. It was shaped like a big bow and was opened with a gold zipper on top.

"Don't you love it? It was specially made by Gucci after I met one of their special designers. Admit it, they love me! Anyways, they gave me the chance to design my own bag. So know you see the bag coordinated by moi!"

Not knowing what to say, I just stood their gapping. I mean who could replay to that kind of explanation? After about 5 minutes Alice got annoyed and pushed me to the bathroom to dress up. It took a lot of time since I kept on tripping over my FRIKIN' BOOTS! About 1hour and 30 minutes later, my make up and hair was finished. I actually didn't really know who' the girl in the mirror was but she sure looked pretty. Her make up was smoky which brought out her chocolate eyes. Her hair was curled casually but still seemed to hug her face.

"Wow..."

"I know! This may be one of my best piece of work!"

Alice jumped up and down. Taking my hand and leading me, she walked me down the stairs. There could see my angel, smiling and waiting for me. I grinned to and walked into his arms.

"You look alluring."

"Hmmm..."

I was too busy in savoring his sweet scent to notice what he was saying. Edward laughed and pulled me away to take a better look at me. He whispered,

"I like your earrings.....they shall go well with your new necklace."

"Hmm I know. I....- WHAT? A new necklace? I don't have a new necklace."

Edward-with a smirk on his face- moved behind me and took out a beautiful necklace. It was a styled crown like with dangling crystals, clear and shining. Though I wasn't a fan of jewelry or expensive objects, it was just too beautiful to resist.

Edward slowly brought the necklace to my neck and locked it around. I could see it shining above my chest. It was just so beautiful. I turned around and hugged Edward as tight as I could. He chuckled and whispered in my ear,

"I thought you'd need it for luck. You'll need a lot to survive a date with Newton. But don't worry. We'll be your.....godmothers and godfathers today.."

"What do you mean godmothers-"

I wasn't even able to finish my sentence for Emmett yelled,

"Bella!"

He held me high above the sky laughing. However, me being afraid of heights, screamed. Loud.

"Put me down! I SAID PUT ME DOWN!!!"

Edward punched Emmett in the arm and took me down. I stood up and walked to Emmett.

"You're lucky that I won't kill you when I become a vampire."

I was surprised with myself. I never knew that I could growl. And I wasn't always this violent. As I walked away, Emmett felt the need to trip me, and I would have fallen flat on my face if it weren't for Edward. I went out the door, to Edward's Volvo, before saying,

"Scratch that. When I become a vampire, you're going to die a merciless death."

I heard Emmett's booming laugh before I slammed the door close.

Why did I feel that today would be a long day?

I was in the car waiting when Edward slid inside. Then he took hold on my face.

"Bella"

I could feel his cool breath on my face.

"Bella, listen to me carefully."

"Hmmm.."

His scent tickled my nose.

"I don't trust you alone with Mike."

I just mumbled,

"I know"

"I also hate Mike for even having the chance to have a date with you."

"Yeah…."

I was to obsessed in tracing his face to really pay attention to what he said.

"That's why we're going to follow you around and give him a piece of my mind.."

My attention went to what Edward said after he said 'we're' and 'piece of my mind.'

"What do you mean-?"

Edward put a finger to my lip with his crooked smiled on his face.

"Just wait……and see."

Why did Edward say godfathers? What will the Cullen's do during Bella's date?

I actually got another chapter finished.......but I won't update until about next week. For the sake of suspense .LOL I know, I'm evil. BUT I don't want you to hate me so I'll update on one day of the weekends.

I'd also like to give great thanks Haley, my best friend for this chapter. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't even be able to write this chapter.
