Alice's car pulled up in front of the hair salon, and she shook my shoulder gently.
"Wake up Bella," she whispered softly. "We're here."
I groaned as I tried to rub the sleep from my eyes. I didn't even know I fell asleep. It didn't take that long to get to Port Angeles.
I looked around groggily. Squinting my eyes, I looked closer. It was sunny outside? It wasn't when we left.
Turning to Alice, I said, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
Alice burst out
laughing, filling the car with the bell sound. "Silly
Bella,"
"Seriously, where are we?" I asked.
Alice twiddled with her thumbs. "I thought you might enjoy shopping in a warmer climate."
My eyes widened. "How are you going to come, then? If it's sunny, you sparkle."
She scoffed. "I thought of that." She reached into her purse and pulled out gloves and put them on. I noticed she was wearing a black turtleneck and long pants.
There was still a problem. "What about your face?"
Alice sighed. "Seriously Bella, give me some credit. I thought of that too."
I watched with my eyebrows raised in disbelief as she put on cover-up and powder. It made her look kind of gross.
She stepped out into the sun and there was no sparkle at all. I got out of the car and stared.
"Does it come off?" I've never seen a vampire wear cover-up before.
I was ignored as she pulled me into the little shop. It smelled unpleasant in there, with all the chemicals. The receptionist smiled at Alice and me. "May I help you?"
I bit my lip and I considered what I should do. "I'm here to cut my hair." Well, DUH, Bella.
The woman looked on the computer and said, "Okay, we'll see you in twenty minutes!"
We sat down in the little plastic chairs and looked over the hairstyles in the books. Alice was flipping through the pages trying to find one that she thought I might like. I smirked and told myself I would say yes to the first one she said, since she was expecting me to be super picky.
"What about this one?" Alice pointed to a model with short layered hair and emo-ish bangs. She was grinning, thinking I would say no.
"Sure! If you say so," I said in a singsong voice. I leaned back and chuckled at her shocked expression. Honestly, she should have seen it coming. Some psychic she was.
I grinned, thinking I would surprise her further. "I think I'll dye it too."
Alice frowned. "What color?"
I thought about it for a minute. "Purple."
Alice bit her lip. "I think you shouldn't do that. Edward won't like it."
"That's exactly why I'm doing it." I scoffed. "Oh wait, I want to have neon blue streaks in it!"
"Oh my," She covered her mouth with her hands.
The voice of the receptionist called out to us. "Ma'am, we're ready to have you now."
I walked over to them and smiled. "Good morning." I said pleasantly.
She smiled back. "Good morning. What may I do for you today?"
I told her exactly what I wanted done. The look on her face was hilarious.
She led me over to a squishy chair and when I sat down, she tossed a black sheet over me, and tightened it around my neck.
I sighed and leaned back as she started to snip off my hair. I heard a strange buzzing sound and looked over at Alice. She was talking into the phone so quickly and low that I had trouble hearing the buzz at all.
"Alice!" I hissed. "Who are you talking to?"
Her eyes glanced at me and then said, "No one."
I groaned internally. "Don't tell on me!" She just rolled her eyes and turned her back to me. I bit my lip. I didn't want Edward to find out any sooner than needed. I was so worried about it that I didn't notice when the stylist started putting weird foil stuff in my hair.
It seemed like a year had passed when the stylist finally said, "Voila," and swiveled my chair around so I could see my reflection.

A/N- Sorry I haven't
updated sooner, I've just been really busy with school and stuff.
Plus my attention span isn't exactly the greatest. I probably would
have gone on ignoring this for the rest of my life if Clumsy
Bella 101 hadn't said something. So go and give her lots
of hugs!!
By the way, I would really really really like to have at
least 15 reviews by the time I upload the next chapter.
Reviews=Motivation!
Thanks!
