So sorry guys for the hideously long wait but I made this chapter especially long for all my dedicated readers, and the ones who just randomly pop up too! This chapter would have never made it into existence if it weren't for my new re-friended friend (pm for the meaning of this term you know I hate an empty e-mail inbox!) Oh well on with the story I have developed a strange fondness over.

I awoke the next morning to the head throbbing sounds of trunks slamming, the strange whir of zippers being jerked closed, and the sound of two engines being gunned to life after a night of cold silence. I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar and strangely fuzzy world. I panicked slightly then remembered that the guys were just outside so I was about to call for them when I had the most awkward realization I didn't know who to call for. "Uh, hello?" I half talked, half rasped into the strangely empty tent. All three of them suddenly appeared out of thin air, "Oh good morning Bells!" Emmett yelled and I cringed when my head felt like it was about to bust open. "Oops sorry Bells!" Emmett whisper- yelled. Carlisle handed me two green liquid Advil, my savior for the time being, while Jasper slid some head soothing waves my way.

"You are stable for travel, Bella, and we need to get out of Washington and fast." after Carlisle said this I was shocked, there was no warning or anything and my garbled reply was somewhere along the lines of, where to? "Wherever you want honey, none of us can decide." I immediately knew where I wanted to go and I got so excited Jasper said, "Whoa! Bella you get much more excited and I'm gonna be acting like the Red Bull Energizer bunny." he chuckled and I said, "Lets go to Tennessee, the mountains, please?" Emmetts' face, in that moment, held strange resemblance to a Christmas tree and he jumped for joy, sung a song in about six other languages, all the while doing some strange dance.

Thirty minutes and some badly burnt eggs later we were in the monstrosity Emmett likes to call his Jeep, and I was somehow laying down in the third row of seats with Emmett driving, Jasper on the drivers side second row seat, and Carlisle next to him I felt strangely alone. No music played, there was no idle chatter, and none of us had any belongings to distract us from this awkward silence that had crept into the car making it about as cheerful as a hearse. I spoke up deciding we had to do something about this silence or I might just die of boredom, "Hey guys?" They all mhmm'd in response, "We need something to entertain us, where is the nearest mall Emmie?" He did a kind of smirk, devils grin and said "Next exit sis!"

Then I realized what I was wearing, it was basically a hospital gown but thicker cotton and it zipped up the back instead of tied. It wasn't too awful looking but really not me, a pale blue background with pastel pink floral, ok so maybe it really was that bad and it might have been my grandmothers moo moo. ( I know that's not how you spell it but I honestly have no clue so if you do tell me!) "Maybe some new clothes too?" They all laughed and nodded in agreement, I didn't even want to know how they got this.

We arrived at the mall and Emmett jogged in and retrieved a wheelchair for me since it would look a little strange for them to carry me through the mall with my two cast legs sticking in the air. I made a mental note on how hard it would be to find clothes to fit around the two gigantic masses of plaster now enclosing my legs. They carried me from the Jeep and placed me in the wheelchair Jasper pushing me and Emmett and Carlisle flanking me as if I was a princess. They all said that they would buy whatever I wanted and none of them would leave my side, and I was strangely comforted by that last fact.

We were inside the mall and none of them left my side as we paraded through the mall which I decided should be for clothes and the three of them insisted that American Eagle was where they just had to get there jeans from. Little did I know, none of them could decide for themselves which ones to buy since Alice had never left them choice. After they each got at least 10 pair of jeans each we left the store and went to our next stop which was Aeropostale.

I found a few cute hoodies and some polos were about all I got out of that shop but we had already spent quite the pretty penny but they were all just waiting to hear where to go next. As they were rolling me towards our new destination I saw a store I hadn't been in in ages. "Oh! Lets go there!" They all looked at me as if I had grown three heads and a fourth tongue but did as I asked, it was Big Dog. Emmett grinned as he saw the name and I said, "Yep this stop is all for you macho man, or Jasper too. Sorry Carlisle I'm not sure you can wear these t-shirts and still appear to be our guardian." He grinned and said he would be in VitaWorld or something. We went in with Jasper and Emmett grinning like fools.

Emmett wanted the whole store so I limited him to five shirts and Jasper to five as well to be fair. Emmetts shirts said the following: Let me drop everything and work on your problem, I'm trying to see things your way but I can't get my head that far up my but, Beer is cheaper than gas so drink don't drive, Can your boobs stop staring at me, and Sometimes when I'm alone I google myself. All of which he thought he would die without. Jasper got the following: Two Big Dog shirts in a star blade, one that said something about riding a motorcycle, and two about his bad attitude which I totally didn't get. I even got a few Big Dog shirts myself.

We left the store and found Carlisle heading towards us with a bad from VitaWorld with him saying something about how I would need Calcium and some other vitamin to help my legs heal. We set off to Old Navy the guys found some shorts and I found some more shirts, two skirts, and four pair of Capri pants that also worked with my larger than life legs.

The fruits of the next few stops were four Sony play station portables and plenty of games, 4 eight GB Ipod's in the color of our choosing, quite a few more shirts and pants for all of us, some caps for all the boys, two new pair of converse each , digital cameras, and new cell phones and cell phone numbers for us all.

I was amazed at how much we had spent in less than 6 hours and how none of them even batted an eye at the astounding prices. "We need something special, something unique, and something we will treasure forever." I spoke allowed as I registered a store coming up I would not let us pass. "We need Build- A - Bear's!" They were quite uneasy about venturing into the land of bright yellow that looks as if it has a height limit of three feet, but did as I asked and bravely entered the store with me in tow.

I was so excited I had Jasper excited ,who couldn't contain it so it made Emmett excited, and that made Jasper even more excited and he spilled more of this excited energy onto Carlisle, and we were one extremely happy bunch. I chose a smooth darker colored bear that had lighter coloring on his mouth and belly and I named him Barnaby. Carlisle chose a classic honey colored bear and named him Thomas. Emmett chose a black bear and named him Smokey in honor of our trip to the Smokies.

But, I thought Jaspers was the neatest of all, a light vanilla colored, curly haired teddy named Scout. He dressed him as a soldier in camo cargo pants, black boots, and a black t-shirt. He also had a back up out fit since Jasper couldn't decide between the two. The other was a biker outfit complete with the leather jacket. Emmetts' bear, Smokey, was a college football player for some team somewhere, I didn't pay attention. Carlisles' was of course a doctor complete with a tiny stethoscope and reading glasses perched on the end of his nose. Mine had no theme but was cute against all the others that seem ed to reflect our pesonalities so well as we took a picture of the bears lined up outside the build-a-bear store.

I was so tired by the time we left I almost fell asleep before they had me in the Jeep. By the time I was in the Jeep I was tired, I was hurting, and I was hungry. Carlisle couldn't give me anything for the pain because it would make me too sleepy before I could eat but I needed food to take the pills anyway. So we drove into a small town in Oregon, found a small hotel and rented a room for three nights, no one would explain why we had to stay three nights. I was fed from some fast food restraunt next door and I was given pain pills and a soft bed, it was all I needed to sleep. And sleep I did.

Ok guys sorry for the mistakes, I have been typing this since 2 am it is now almost 5 am and I have been up a while. Sorry, if it got horribly repetitive and wasn't detailed enough but I fell asleep at the computer halfway through the second page.
