BPV

Before everyone headed over here the next day , we had to clean up. That was no easy feet. There was cups and paper dishes strewn through out the place. Alice kept on mumbling about pretty trash barrels for the next one. Good lord she wanted another party? Anyways, the place looked like a disaster area! In addition to the cups and dishes, we had to move the furniture back into the room and place all of the cushions back in the right place. It was very tedious work. With all of the furniture that Alice had brought in, it took almost an hour of only doing this. .

As if they knew when we were done everyone arrived. Emmett was dressed as Santa Clause and had a bag draped over his shoulder that was full of their gifts.

" HO HO HO! MERRRYY CHRISTMAS!" Emmett bellowed!

" Who are you calling a hoe!" Rose joked.

He then opened the bag and placed its contents under the tree. The sheer amount if gifts under that tree was amazing. It actually mesmerized me for a second. How many presents could that tree fit anyways. Emmett kept on asking "Can we open them now?". it was to the point that when we finally got around to opening them, Emmett was bouncing up and down.

" JASPER THIS IS WONDERFUL... HOW DID YOU KNOW!!!" Alice said after getting the mall gift certificate from Jasper. I wanted to laugh at her expression, she looked like a little kid receiving a ticket to Disneyland or something like that. She also received massive amounts of makeup and clothes and a makeup stand. She had put hers in my room for some reason.

It looked like she wanted to run and try everything on. Jasper's reaction to her gift was just as funny. She had gotten him twenty pounds of clothing and a book called "how to know peoples emotions ." he exclaimed " I've been looking for this book for months, I need it for next semester!" Everyone else had taken to getting him candy, cologne and bookstore gift certificates.

Emmett and Rose gave each other what looked like matching his and her's bathrobes. Only those two would do something like that. When they put their hands in their pockets there were open ended plane tickets to Aspen and the Caribbean placed in them. Wow they really do think alike. They made a plan to go next fall the Caribbean and winter to Aspen. The rest of us gave Emmett workout equipment and gym memberships. We gave Rose makeup and clothing. Emmett was really excited about the trip to Aspen, he really wanted to see what snow boarding was like there. Rose was looking forward to sipping drinks with Emmett on the beach, or watching Emmett surf ( he had never tried it before). I could only imagine Emmett surfing.

I had gotten Edward front row seats to see the Siberian orchestra the next time they were in town. Edward bugged out at this and kept on saying " do you know how hard these are to get?". Its not really hard when your best friend has concoctions to get tickets to whatever concert she wants. I was really lucky that Alice was my best friend. Everyone else had gotten him CD holders, a stereo and an ipod. He was really excited at those tickets though.

Edward had gotten me the most beautiful piece of jewelry that I had ever seen. It was a bracelet with a heart charm. I absolutely loved it! The heart was made out of a diamond glistened in the light when I put it on. But I didn't care about that. I loved it because it was from him! I was going to wear this for the rest of my life . I was never going to let this go! I squealed and hugged him to thank him for this.

A few hours later , after everyone left, Alice got me alone. She had gotten a closer look at the diamond heart that he had given me and realized that it was one of the best quality diamonds that she had ever seen.

" Alright, this is proof that he likes you" She said with finality

" how's that proof" how did she get that from a bracelet.

" My god Bella, Jasper didn't even give me a diamond, and we're dating!" she exclaimed.

" Still that doesn't mean that he likes me!" I said still unsure.

" Yeah, he just gave you a bracelet with the best quality diamond heart because he wants to be your friend, wake up and smell the roses Bella, he likes you!"

" But how could he like me... ME!" I exclaimed.

" What do you mean how could he like you?" she said dumbfounded.

" I'm not the prettiest girl on the block Alice!"

" You see your self in a negative light, don't you wonder why you have a stalker?" Alice said the last part coming out more of a question.

" I hate to break it to you, but your better looking than you think!" Alice continued.

" but it takes you three hours to get me ready for something!" I exclaimed.

" yeah, but only ten minutes or so to put your make up on, the rest is spent doing everything else, you have like ten different ways to do your hair, do you think that it takes only a split second to decide which one? I would kill for that!"

" you have to pick out my clothes to go shopping!" I countered.

" Bella, beauty and fashion sense are two different subjects!"

She continued the argument for the next few hours. By hour three it was getting quite annoying. But she did have a point there. If he didn't like me like that ... then why would he buy me a diamond bracelet? He could of just bought me jeans or something like that , but he went for the expensive jewelry. It was then that I began to realize that he may in fact like me.

With those thoughts I went to sleep.

The next day Alice started her week long shopping spree. This was her favorite week because everything was at least half off. She lived and breathed for this week. In fact when I had gotten up and turned on the news... there she was waiting in line for a store to open in Nathaniel hall. They were doing a report on the record number of people that had waited in line for the stores to open. She was towards the front of that line bouncing up and down. They went over to interview her, asking her why she was there. Her response was " I couldn't wait!". They asked her what time she arrived, to which she answered " around 3am, I wanted to get a good spot!" well that figured, she couldn't wait until someone was up to go with her and control her spending. I was sitting there with my mouth wide open watching them continue to interview her when Jasper arrived.

" Hey Bella, have you seen...WHAT THE HELL?" Jasper shouted at the end. He was obviously looking for Alice.

" I TOLD HER TO WAIT FOR ME!" He continued to scream.

" I know she couldn't wait for one of us to go with her!" I groaned. It was too early for screaming. It was barely 630 in the morning.

"WHEN DID SHE LEAVE!"

" she told the reporter that she arrived there around 3am"

" That girl's a serious shopoholic, who goes to a mall at that time?" Jasper said finally calming down. It was at that point that the rest of them arrived.

" And I thought Rose was bad" Emmett said continuing to stare at the screen. Rose backhanded him at that point.

" Man only you would have to get the girl who waits that long just to get into a store!" Edward joked.

" That's nothing compared to what she would do for our school dances, she would drive to L.A. just to get our prom dresses, she would actually rent hotel rooms so that we could spend the night. We out from 2am to 10pm just looking for dresses...it was a nightmare!" The memories flowed back as I was saying this. Alice would drag me to every store that she saw a formal dress in. We actually almost got killed a couple of time's because she would drag me across the street without looking.

We continued to watch the news for the next hour and a half. 90% of the coverage was on the mall so we didn't have a problem seeing all the stores Alice darted off to. She went everywhere. She walked out of Gucci with two $500 pocketbooks and I had a feeling that one was not for her. She was walking out of Coach with two huge bags when the news finally ended.

" Damn that girl knows what to get!" Said Emmett.

" I don't even buy that much when I go shopping!" Said Rose.

" This is her favorite week, be prepared you'll see more of this!" I warned. Jasper flinched when I said this.

Alice spent the rest of the day at the mall, and I spent the rest of the day with everyone else. No one wanted to leave Jasper alone with the mood he was in so we all stayed together. Periodically the news would come back on and we would see more of Alice's endeavors. This was all we heard of her since she was not picking up her cell phone. We were watching Alice leave Macy's when she finally called us.

" Alice finally" Jasper said after he picked up the phone.

" Yeah we saw you, we saw lots of you, we just saw you enter Nordstrom's right now."

Apparently she didn't know that the news was following her for there was a shriek that echoed from the phone so loud that we heard it across the room.

" We've been watching you since your interview, they've apparently dubbed the segment after you, they're calling it "Shopping with Alice". Just at that moment they said " well be right back with " Shopping with Alice" after these messages and she heard it. She squealed the loudest squeal that I have ever heard. After this we t-bowed the rest of it.

Alice and her segment made the nightly news after this. They had experts from around the country talk as they aired the footage caught of Alice's shopping spree. One referred to it as the most blatant evidence of shopoholism that he has ever seen. Another said that she was the worst shoppoholic that he had seen...and he was a psychologist for 20 years. We t-bowed this too for her to see. It was when the head of shopoholic's anonymous came on and offered her help that she had arrived home. She saw the looks on our faces.

" What?" she said.

" Alice, honey, you were on the nightly news!" Jasper said calmly.

" WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WAS ON THE NIGHTLY NEWS" she screamed.

We replayed everything for her. She loved the " Shopping with Alice" segment. She hated the nightly news. She was especially embarrassed when they called her the worst shopoholic ever. After that I think she expected a phone call from her father or something. But he was off in Europe with her mother on vacation, so I doubt that he even saw it. Alice mumbled something about suing. Great that's exactly what she needed...more spending money. From the looks on their faces I could tell that everyone was thinking the same thing. I mean she could get another million easy from that law suit. Giving Alice that was like giving an alcoholic a million bottles of brandy or what ever he liked to drink. I hoped that this would teach her a lesson to cut down on the shopping a bit.

All that hope was for nothing.
