La Push parties are fun

(Bella's POV)

"Bella...Bella, wake up!" The dream like voices invaded my ears, but I refused to move. That was until I felt a hard smack on my head.
I shot up "Rose!" I shrieked as I saw a rolled up magizene in her hand. "Hey, we tried waking you up gently, but it didn't work so we tried it my way" Rose shrugged and sat back on her haunches.

"Ugh! what time is it?" I groaned as I rubbed my head slighlty. "Nine O'clock in the morning" Renesmee yelled from the kitchen. I gave Alice a droll look, she didn't seemed bothered by it at all "Cheer up, Bella, we're going shopping" Alice sang.

I grabbed my pillow, put it to my face, and screamed. "Stop, stop, stop!" Rose commanded half laughing as she pulled my pillow away.
I ended up laughing and managed not to fall back onto my sleeping bag. "Renesmee, what are you doing in there?" Alice called to the kitchen.
"None of your buisness!" was Renesmee's coy reply. Alice rolled her eyes. Then there was a loud whistling -the kind a guy makes to a girl as she passes by- and we all turned to see Emmett, Edward, and Jasper walking down stairs fully dressed.

"Nice look, ladies" Emmett winked -mostly at Rose- as he walked by, he was lucky enough to get a laugh out of us. Edward rolled his eyes and gave his brother a shove toward the kitchen. I realized we were still in our pajamas.

"Excuse Emmett, he thinks he has a talent for impressing girls" Jasper said mockingly as they disappeared into the kitchen. "So, why are we going shopping?" I asked as I climbed out of my sleeping bag.

"A dance is next week and we're gonig shopping for outfits" Rose shrugged nonchalantly. I grimaced "Why? We allknow I can't dance, and I don't plan on going with the idiots who usually ask me" I grumbled.

Alice and Rose moved from their seats to sit on either side of me. Alice glanced toward the kitchen then back to me. "Bella, what if Edward asked you?" Alice asked in a whisper.

I instantly blushed and looked down. "Well, I...I might say yes...if he asked me anyway" I looked up to see Rose and Alice very close to squealing.
"Oh, we were so right!" Rose said in just above a whisper as she high fived Alice. "Shush! he probably won't ask me" I reminded them.

"Who won't what?" Renesmee asked as she came out of the kitchen with her cousins following her. I looked away and blushed as Rose quickly said "Nothing"

"So, why are we letting ourselves be dragged into shopping?" Edward asked, it sounded like he was sitting on the couch. "Because we are all going to the dance next friday " Alice chirped.

"Why?" Jasper asked sullenly. "Well one, if you say your going with a group, you don't have to say yes to your many admirers" Renesmee pointed out and I finally looked at them.

They were nodding in agreement. "Alright, now that that's settled, Alice, Rose, and I need to go get changed" I told them, wanting to get out of the room as quickly as possible.

At the Mall in Port Angeles...

(Bella's POV)

According to Alice, the dance wasn't going to be that fancy. They guys could get away with button down shirts and khaki's, and the girl could get away with not really flashy dresses, and skirts.

Renesmee had called Jacob and told him we'd be out, she didn't let him come because she didn't want him to see the outfit she'd picked out.
Edward, Emmett, and Jasper were in the guys' section looking for something to wear, while the four of us were in the girls section.

Rose was debating between a scarlet dress and a black one that showed her curves. Alice had her eye on a light pink silk top and matching skirt. Renesmee had already bought her outfit, a red top and matching silk skirt. As for me I couldn't find a thing to wear.

"What's wrong Bella?" Alice asked as she saw my face. I groaned "Nothing works! None of these dresses are...me" I told her exasperatedly.
Alice seemed puzzled for a moment as she looked through the dresses. "Well...how about this?" Alice pulled out a deep blue silk dress, the sleeves were very short and also silky, the dress stopped at the knee and had a flowing egde, I loved it.

"Its beautiful...but I don't think I could pull it off" I shook my head and pushed the dress away. "Sure you could, come on" Alice grabbed the dress and my arm and pulled me toward the dressing room.

"I'll go get the others" Alice told me before she shoved me in the dressing room. "Alice, no!" I hissed, but she was gone. I didn't want to have my friends to see how horrible I was going to look in this dress.

I reluctantly tried it on when I heard a knock on the door. "Bella, you done?" Alice's voice was only half concerned. "Yes, now prepare for the horror" I griped.

"Bella, I'm sure you look fine" Rose's voice chimed. I sighed and walked out. Sure enough, all my friend were there...ugh, including Edward.
There were gasps from each of them. "That bad?" I asked insecurley. They shook their heads. "Bella, come look" Renesmee took my hand and lead me to a full length mirror. I was surprised at what I saw.

The dress...actually did look good on me. "Wow" shock colored my voice "Hold on, guys' opinions, now!" Rose ordered and turned me around to face the guys.

"It looks good on you, Bella" Edward told me sincerely "It really does" Jasper nodded in agreement "Its perfect" Emmett shrugged.
So, I bought the blue dress, Rose picked the black dress, and Alice got her pink outfit and we'd all gotten matching heels. The guys had bought some nice stuff and we were all headed to Emmett's jeep- it was the only thing with enough seats for all of us- when Renesmee's cell phone rang.

"Hey, Jake..." Renesmee said into the phone. By the time we got into the Jeep Renesmee hung up. "Good news, La Push is having a giant beach party since it's gnnig to be extremely hot out tonight again" Renesmee said happily.

"And we're all invited" She finished and excitment filled the air. We all started talking excitedly about tonight's events.

On the way To La Push...

(Bella's POV)

I had called my parents and they had been fine with Rose and me going to the party. Alice got the OK from her parents as well.

We were all taking my truck because it could hold us all and the stuff we brought in the back. So it was me in the driver's seat and Edward in the passenger seat while everyone else sat in the bed of the truck with the cooler.

Alice, Rose, Renesmee and I were wearing Denim short shorts and bikini tops. Allof the guys were wearing cut of jeans and under shirts.
I rolled my window down as the guys from La Push came into view on the beach. "Hey guys!" I called as I drove past them. They started howling and I laughed along with the girls.

"Dogs!" Rose shouted as the began runnning after my truck to the beach. "You know them?" Edward guessed. "Oh yeah, La Push was like my second home when I was a kid" I told him as I began to park. "Interesting" Edward said nonchalantly.

When I parked we all quickly got out. Jacob, Quil, and Embry -the ones who had been howling- quickly met us. Jacob had his arm around Renesmee in a second.

"Hey, girls, see you brought some new friends" Embry said in an observant tone. "Thank you captain obvious" Alice rolled her eyes and slapped Embry's shoulder.

Embry let out a yelp and Quil broke out laughing "Nice one" he high fived Alice. Edward, Jasper, and Emmett introduced themselves as two other La Push guys came over..

It was Jared and Paul. "If it isn't the inhabitants of Forks" Paul said as a greeting. "I'd thought they disappeared" Jared chortled. "Oh please, your so busy with Kim, its not like you would have noticed we were here" Rose scoffed.

Edward seemed to notice Paul had a football. "You play?" Edward asked, gesturing to the football. Paul looked down "A little, what about you guys?" He asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Hell yeah" Emmett said excitedly. "Well, lets go" Jasper urged and they all ran off to an open space to throw the foot ball around. Quil and Embry quickly followed.

"Say football and they leave you like that" Rose snapped her fingers on the last word. "Emmett doesn't belong to you, Rose" Renesmee reminded her with a laugh.

"Not yet, but he's gonna wish he did when he sees me dance" Rose began to walk off toward the crowd of people dancing around the bon fire, she was swaying her hips as Alice followed and Renesmee followed along as she pulled Jacob with them.

I sat in the bed of the truck and started drinking a coke from the cooler I waved to some La Push girls I knew; Claire, Kim, and Leah. Claire and Kim were Quil's and Jared's girlfriends.

"Hey, Bells" A familiar voice said from off to the side. I turned my head to see Seth Clearwater -Leah's little brother- standing at the edge of my truck.

"Hey, Seth" I smiled, Seth was only fifteen, but he was pretty cool and he was actually taller than me. "Why are all your friends dancing and your doing squat?" Seth asked incredulously.

"I don't dance, Seth, you know that" I reminded him. "Fine, fine, fine, suit your self" Seth said before he ran off toward the crowd. I was half finished with my coke before I heard another voice. "Care to dance?" Edward's velvet voice was coming from the side.

"Excuse me?" I asked, not sure if I heard him right. "Football game broke up as soon as Jazz and Em saw Rose and Alice dancing" Edward chuckled and I looked over to see that the dancing crowd had spread out a lot.

I could clearly see Emmett and Rose dancing and Alice and Jasper dancing. I instantly became nervous "If I try to move my feet out there I'll trip" I told him as my 'no.'

Edward took my hand. "I'll show you any easy way of dancing so you can't trip" He began tugging at my hand. "I don't know" I grimaced.
"C'mon, trust me" With those words he was able to get me out of the bed of my truck and to the dancing crowd. A familiar song came on and blaired from the hiding speaker system.

It was That Song in my head by Julianne Hough. "Now all you have to do is move your hips to the music, no moving your feet at all" Edward shrugged.

"And how do you know this?" I asked him, arching an eyebrow. "My mom did this when she was seventeen, she was forever thinking she couldn't dance, so when she just swayed her hips we were impressed" Edward shrugged.

"Okay" I sucked in a deep breath and began doing as he told me. "There you go" Edward said encouragingly. I smiled and glanced at Alice. She noticed me dancing and smiled approvingly.

When the song ended a slow song suddenly came on. I grew nervous again. "I can't dance at all on these" I said backnig up a bit. Edward took a step forward. "I've got you, remember?" Edward asked with his crooked smile. "Alright" I grumbled and let him put his hands on my hips as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

I looked into Edward's gorgeous green eyes and was actually glad I had let him talk me into this. I didn't trip or fall the entire time.
This was a good night. And I began to wonder if he really would ask me to the dance.
I could only hope.

Whoo!
