I pulled into the dealership parking lot, and dropped Emmett off and then sped away to my only true love.
-Bella's POV-
We were searching through what had to be our hundredth store. "Alice, can we please go home now?"
"No way, I told you, I haven't found the outfit yet. It was perfect; Edward is going to love you in it."
I raised my eyebrow. "Doesn't he love me already?"
She glared at me. "He'll love the outfit, okay?" I smiled. I had officially irritated Alice.
"Behave yourself, or I won't let you hang out with Edward until school," she threatened. My smile fell.
"Alice," I whined, "I really want-" She put up her hand to stop me. Her eyes became blank, a curious dead look. She was having a vision.
"Alice, what did you see?" I asked after a few minutes. She shook her head, as if she were trying to clear something out of her head.
"I found the outfit," she replied, not looking directly at me. She walked toward a designer's store.
"Alice, this is going to be expensive."
"So?" She asked quietly. "We're immortal, so money doesn't matter. You need to get used to our family buying you nice things. This outfit won't cost over 500, I promise."
"500 dollars? Alice, that's an awful price.
"What did you think it would cost? Designer clothes don't aren't cheap, you know that right?"
"We're going to get something cheaper."
"Umm, it's a little too late."
"What?"
"When I first saw the outfit, I ordered it. We're here to pick it up."
"Why did we-"
"I was stalling because it wasn't ready yet. I knew you would throw a fit no matter what, so I was looking for other clothes."
"When will Edward be here?" I asked, trying to forget the price of the clothes that were already spent on me. Right at that moment stone arms wrapped around my waist. "Edward!" I said gleefully. I turned around, and hugged him as if I were trying to strangle a bear.
He chuckled. "I didn't realize that in a span of about twenty minutes I could be missed so much."
"Of course I missed you. Shopping all the time isn't as much fun without you somehow." Alice glared at me, as he chuckled.
"Where's Emmett?"
"He found a perfect 'birthday gift' for Rosalie. He didn't want to be stranded here with Alice, so he ran home."
"Oh."
Alice picked up the outfit, and had me try it on. As I was trying it on, I heard Alice and Edward arguing.
"It's a surprise, Edward, get out of the shop."
"No, Bella wants me here."
"Edward, please. You'll just have to stand out there for a couple of minutes. It won't take long."
"Fine." I heard him walk away. I opened the door, and looked at Alice.
"Bella, you look…umm… Wow…" Alice was at a loss of words.
"Thanks," I mumbled. I turned to the mirror, and saw a beautiful vampire staring back at me. The blue blouse and the matching skirt looked bland by themselves, but when they were on me they were magnificent. I ran to Alice's side, and hugged her as tightly as I hugged Edward. We started jumping up and down together.
"Thanks, Alice!" I squealed.
"I knew you would like it."
"Quickly change, we'll go home now," Alice instructed. I nodded, and quickly changed back into my regular clothes. The image of me still burned behind my eyelids.

Edward's warm stone arm encircled my waist, as we rode home. Alice agreed to let me ride with Edward in his Volvo. I rested my head against his shoulder. We were almost home, when I felt him tense. I looked up at him with curiosity. "What is it Love?"
"Bella, I wanted to
get you a gift for school. It was going to be a surprise for you
tomorrow, but I want you to use it tonight."
"Edward, what's
my surprise." He sighed.
"It's fast, and Alice saw you would love it… in time."
"Spit it out," I said.
"I got you an Aston Martin. It's fast, safe, and the windows are tinted so you can drive in the sun."
"What!" I screamed.
"Once we get home, we'll go for a short drive. You'll love it."
"You spent over 400,000 on me just for a stupid fast car. The only drive I'll go on is back to the dealership."
"Bella, please give it a chance. If you don't like it within a week, I'll return it." I saw the hurt in his face, and I felt bad that I hurt his feelings.
"Fine," I pouted.
"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings," I muttered, and then I kissed his chin. He smiled, and kissed the top of my hair.
A/N I hope you like this chapter… I was going to make it shorter, then longer but I can't decide if Bella should like the car or not. If you would like to do me a big favor, when you review, just put a Y! if she should like it or a N! if she shouldn't like the car.
