Alice POV

Since Annie came up with the idea for the kids to go to the dance, I thought that I would take her out shopping to pick out the dresses for the girls. Jasper and Danny had decided to come with us to "help carry the bags" as they so put it, but me and Annie know better.

Everyone else was at school with the exception of Luciana and Alex who I had a vision of not too long ago, planning to go to Inspiration Point. (The make out spot by the mountains the teenagers go to). I don't think Emmet will be too happy about his little girl going there but it wasn't the first time and he didn't know so...

"Mu.... Alice, look I found the perfect dress for Ida." I followed the sound of my daughter's voice to see her standing by a stunning glittery white strapless dress that would flow lightly down her body and show all her flawless curves. It would look beautiful on Ida and come down to about her mid-thigh.

"That's great sweaty. I am so happy that unlike your cousins you love shopping!" It was true, Ida was so like her mother Bella and hated to come shopping with either me and or Annie, and Luciana had not much patience for it, also like her mother Rosalie.

"Let's get it then we can go find yours and Luciana's then look for the masks." The school dance was to be a masked ball and so all of them would need a mask. We quickly made out way to the cash register and paid for the dress. Jasper and Danny were waiting for us outside and as soon as we emerged from the store they both had their arms around us.

"Where to next angel?" I felt Jasper tense behind me. Annie was his little girl and for as long as her and Danny had been together they were not yet married and so Jasper was still quiet protective of her.

"Mum, where to next?"

We carried on looking for the dresses and soon found the perfect one for Annie. She was so happy she started to bounce up and down; Jasper said I did that too but I pretended not to hear. It was a blue corset like dress that emphasised the bust, and had blue laces to tie at the back which made her waist look tinny and came to just below the knees. We also found Luciana's dress in the same shop. It was a deep red halter top like dress that hugged the body and flowed out freely from the waist and came up to her knees.

The boys were going to wear the usual black tux but this time their shirt would match the colour of each of their mate's dresses. After getting all the masks - plain black for the boys and for the girls a mask to match each of their dresses, it had a feather on the left side and diamonds that swirled along the right side- hand made we headed back home.

Annie and I skipped along to Dannie's range rover (but Annie drove more than anyone) with the guys following boredly behind us with all the bags.

"Come on Jazzy, cheer up. The trip wasn't even long." I smiled over to the love of my life, he smiled back and after dumping the bags in the boot he came round and placed his arms around my waist, kissing my forehead.

Esme POV

It was another cloudy in Alaska and I had just finished tending to the garden and was washing the mud of my hands in the kitchen sink when I heard the door of Carlisle's study open and light footsteps make their way down the stairs.

We were alone at home, but the kids should be getting home soon. So quietly that I didn't even hear him, Carlisle came up behind me and snaked his arms around my waist while kissing the back of my neck.

"Hello, you" I melted into his arms as his sweet, velvety voice sent shivers down my spine. I turned around still in his arms and placed a kiss on his lips when I heard a car pulling up the drive way. Some of the kids were back.

"And I was just starting to enjoy myself." I pouted. Carlisle chuckled and said, "I wonder what they got up to today."

"Esme, Esme...." I heard as Annie bounded into the kitchen, "you have to see the dresses we got for Friday. Hey gramps!" She gave me a quick peck on the cheek then flew over to Carlisle and gave him a tight hug. By then the rest of the family had arrived from either school or college and everyone was standing around the kitchen with the exception of Luciana and Alex who were nowhere to be seen.

"Annie why don't you show me the dresses?" I took her hand and was about to head upstairs when Alice told us to wait.

"Wait just a minute. 3...2...1" Luciana and Alex burst through the door looking flustered and at seeing all of us there they started to fix up.

"Uhh, hi guys" said Alex, while trying to button up his shirt.

"So Lucy, where were you? You and Alex just ditched school after second lesson." If looks could kill I'm sure poor Ida would have been long gone after the look Luciana gave her, but in reply Ida just winked and Annie had the biggest grin on her face.

Edward muttered under his breath, "Like mother like daughter."

I saw Rose glaring at Edward while Emmet was just laughing at the site of Alex and his daughter, having no idea what just happened.

Everyone was laughing at the scene before us and feeling embarrassed Lucy and Alex left the room and the others went their own ways after a while. I sighed and smiled content with my big family.

Danny POV

The week had gone by uneventful and the day of the dance had finally come. We decided to skip school today as the sun was out, and the girls also wanted to get an early start at getting ready for the dance.

My parents along with Jasper, Alice and Carlisle had gone to hunt, Bella and Edward were upstairs, and Esme was cleaning the house. Ida and Zac were mucking around in Carlisle's study (they better hope he doesn't find out) and Lucy and Alex were snuggled up on the sofa watching Minis' First Time.

I was in the kitchen sitting on the balcony next to the sink waiting for Annie to come back with the glass. She was bored and had started to play around with her gift. She could control the element of fire, water, earth and air. She came back to where I was sitting and filled the glass she had in her hand with water, Annie then put it down on the counter and started to do little tricks with it. She soon started to get into it and I watched her carefully as she stood there and made the water rise out of the glass and take the shape of a heart. I got down and pulled her close to me, I cast one last look at the heart and was about to place a kiss on her luscious lips when out of nowhere Ida screamed, and thanks to her my angel lost her concentration and the water splashed all over me.

"I'm so sorry babe." Annie apologised and pecked me on the lips.

"It's not your fault." Just then Ida rushed in to the kitchen with her hands over her eyes screaming, "MY EYES, MY EYES!! I can't believe I just walked in on my parents having a major make out session!!"

Alex and Lucy were now in the kitchen and we were all laughing at Ida when Edward and Bella came down stairs and into the kitchen with Zac following behind.

"Ida, we're sorry but how many times have I told you not to project yourself around the house?" Edward was looking sternly at Ida while the rest of us were just cracking up, and Zac was trying to take the blame for what had happened.

"Edward, it wasn't her fault. We were messing around and I kind of made her lose control over her gift and... Well you know the rest" Zac was looking apologetically at Bella and Edward. Ida also has a special gift. She is able to project herself anywhere she wants and her projection can talk and move. Pretty cool if you ask me. I didn't have any gifts, neither did Luciana or Zac. Alex on the other hand was lucky, his gift is to manipulate people, he can mess with their mind so they do what he wants, it works with anyone except his mum, Bella, as, and well anything to do with the mind doesn't affect her.

I heard a faint laugh and knew that Alice was back and had seen what had just happened. She came in through the kitchen door with the others following gracefully behind her with huge grins on their faces.

"I wish I was here to see that." My dad was complaining to mum. Ida was still not looking at her parents Zac took her by the hand and they left the room. I pulled Annie closer to me and whispered into her ear, "we have one heck of a disturbed family." Her wacky laugh filled my ears as she turned in my arms and reached for my lips. I reached down to meet her half way and we kissed for a few minutes passionately yet softly. We were interrupted by Jasper clearing his throat and giving us a disapproving glance.

"Get a room!! Like Bella and Edward, mind you that didn't work." My dad, the joker of the house shouted back while walking out of the kitchen.

Annie shot her dad a cheesy smile and said, "Lighten up dad, it was only a kiss."

She took my hand and we went to join Lucy and Alex on the sofa to watch the film.

I was sitting on the couch with Annie lying lazily on my chest when Alice came down to call the girls to start getting ready.

"Why do you have to go now? The dance is not for another five hours..." I moaned while still holding on to Annie.

"It may be 5 hours but I'm sure you'll be rather pleased with the results. Now come on Annie, we still have to find that distraught cousin of ours." Luciana said giggling and pulling Annie away from me.

They left to go and look for Ida, who was hiding somewhere, and Zac soon joined us guys in the living room. Our own personal hell began as we spent the next 5 hours away from our girls.
