I knocked carefully on the clean glass doors. The sun was burning my neck and the heat made me very tempted to jump into the appealing pool.

The Brandon family's house was huge and unbelievably beautiful. It reminded me strongly of the house that the Cohen's lived in, in the popular TV show O.C. Emmett loved that show and screamed of shock and fury when Marissa died.

It felt weird to stand outside the family's pool house and wait. Alice had told me to go there, but I still felt uninvited. The curtains were down and I could not tell if someone was in there.

A maid popped out a head from the second floor through a huge, clean window and shouted: "Young man, who do you wish to meet?" She looked disapproving, as if I was bothering her.

"Alice?" I said slowly.

"Oh." The maid sighed and shook her head with a smile, as if she felt sorry for me. "Young miss Brandon do have a certain interest in a blond boy, dear. I am sorry to tell you that you're wasting your time…"

"Oh no!" I said quickly and shook my head violently. Sure, Alice seemed nice enough but she was definitely not my type. "I'm not… interested in her like that. We're… um…" What were we? Nothing really. "friends." I finished, for there was no other word.

"Hm." The maid huffed with a shrug and closed the window.

I turned towards the pool house again, waiting. Was she planning to let me in today?

Just when I thought that, the door opened quickly. A small hand dragged me inside with enough force to compete with muscled Emmett and I was shocked to find myself inside the room with no warning.

When I turned around towards the door I saw the short girl with black hair carefully peeking out of the door. As if she was expecting me to be followed.

The inside of the pool house looked like a small, luxurious apartment. The room that was also the hall seemed to be a bedroom; I saw a small kitchen and a bathroom. I would easily move in right away if someone offered. Everything was fresh and clean.

Alice closed the door quietly and turned around to face me. She looked so nervous that I laughed.

"I won't bite." I told her loudly.

"Sssh! Not so loud!" she whispered furiously and gently pushed me down on the bed. She sat down next to me and nervously pulled her fingers through the short hair. "I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of Bella. If she knew you were here she'd kill me."

I raised my eyebrows, trying to imagine sweet, soft, beautiful Bella as a dangerous person. It was hilarious.

"I know. You don't expect it." Alice said when she read my expression and held up a tiny finger. "But believe me, when she's mad…. She's mad." She shook her head and seemed to be lost in horrible memories for moment. I stared. "Anyway, so before we start I just want to clear out a few things."

I nodded curiously and looked at her.

"You asked her out?"

"Yes."

"She said yes?"

"Yes."

"So, you don't have a girlfriend?"

"Um... no."

"Then I was right." Alice smiled, pleased. "Who was the girl at the bar?"

"Jessica." I sighed. "She can't take a no."

"Jessica." Alice groaned and threw a tiny fist on her knee. "Of course! I should have known."

"Yes." I nodded with another sigh.

"But you really like Bella then, right?" She looked suspicious and I realized that she was very protective of her friend. This made me like the pixie even more.

"I do."

"Perfect!" Alice squealed and smiled huge. All her teeth were perfectly white and straight. "Well, this brings us back to the subject…" She sat up straighter and looked serious. "Back to business. What do you need to know?"

I smiled.

"Everything valuable that I need to know before… The rest I'd like to… um… you know, find out myself."

Alice nodded, still serious and looked concentrated and thoughtful.

"Well…" she murmured, distracted. "I'll start with things to avoid. First of all; never take her dancing. She falls down a lot."

I smiled but nodded and made a mental note that I had to watch out for dancing or other activities in the same area.

"She hates chocolate, because everyone tells her that her eyes look like chocolate… um… she hates rollercoaster's, it makes her sick…. Oh, and don't be a good date and take her shopping… she hates it!"

"Really?" I said, relief coloring my tone. Alice smiled, but didn't comment.

"She's allergic to milk, but usually drinks it anyway…. Um…"

She told me a lot of things about Bella, things that fit all too well into her character. Surprisingly, she was even better and more unusual than I thought.

"So….now you know some more." Alice said slowly when she was done. "You still want to go out with her, right?" she added quickly and looked worried.

"Of course!" I grinned.

We laughed.

"….ugh!"

I threw the green, terrible dress on the floor – one of the few I owned. Charlie had given it to me for my sixteen birthday; about the time when he stopped knowing what a girl would want.

At the floor were two more dresses – one blue and one in a screaming pink. None of them would fit on a date with Edward Cullen.

When he asked me out I first couldn't believe it. Then I realized that he must be pitying me.

But it didn't matter. If I could spend a day with the most gorgeous guy on earth, It didn't really matter what reasons he had.

The date would be in two hours and I still hadn't found anything to wear. I was, least said, freaking out.

"Argh!" I groaned, frustrated and threw my last dress on the floor when I ripped it from the wardrobe. It was red and had huge dirty spot on the skirt.

Yes, I knew that whatever I wore Edward would look better. He couldn't help it. But I just wanted to look okay! Was it really that much to ask!?

"Knock, knock."

Lifesaver Alice danced into my room with a huge grin on her beautiful face and a gorgeous dress in her hands. I squealed and sighed in relief.

"Brought you a gift." She winked. "You like it?"

I did. It was casual, yet beautiful – short, tight and in a light blue color that made the material flow.

"Thank you!" I hugged her tight and she patted my back while she giggled.

"For once you like what I buy."

"I always like what you buy, Ali-"

I began to remove my clothes so that I could change into the beautiful dress.

"I just don't like when you spend money on me." I finished.

She rolled her eyes and plopped down on my bed.

"Get changed quickly, so that I can do your makeup." Alice told me.

For once I didn't complain about the makeup.

Once I'd gotten dressed I let her play with me until she was satisfied.

I was a little afraid when I was about to look in the mirror, but when I saw myself I realized that it had been ridiculous to be.

I did look good. The hair was in a messy ponytail and my face shined by the foundation, eye shadow and lips gloss.

"Thanks!"

I smiled nervously and felt the butterflies fill my stomach when my head caught up with reality – I was going out with Edward Cullen… I felt sick and my hands shook when I brushed my fingers over the soft material in the dress.

Alice watched me for a moment and looked like she was about to say something, but just smiled and then hugged me.

"You're going to be fine." She mumbled in my ear.

"I know, I just really wish he liked me." I whispered. This would have been awkward to tell someone else, but I knew Alice wouldn't laugh. She understood.

But I thought she sounded avoiding when she replied, mumbling:

"Don't be so sure he doesn't."

We let go off each other.

I didn't know what she meant, so I just sighed with nervousness and concentrated on breathing in and out.

"Pull yourself together." Alice ordered firmly and threw a glance at her wristwatch. "He should be here in a few minutes."

I nodded.

"Alright… alright…." I tried to calm myself.

If the party was hard to prepare myself for, I thought wryly, this was even harder.

We would be alone… just Edward and me.

"Eddie, can I be honest with you?"

"Don't call me Eddie."

"It's so cute! But fine….Edward, can I be honest with you?"

"I guess."

"You act like a crazy person for the moment."

"Thanks, Em."

"Anytime."

I sighed and wanted desperately to be alone.

"Who invited you in here?" I muttered to my brother irritably.

Emmett grinned.

"No one." He stated simply. "I just really thought the pacing was getting annoying. You can hear you all the way downstairs, you know."

I blushed slightly and turned away from him when he chuckled.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous to be totally alone with Bella for the first time. Actually, it would be a huge lie.

"I'm just nervous." I mumbled.

"Yes." Emmett nodded seriously. "But I didn't say that I was tired of the nervousness. The pacing." He rolled his eyes as if I was an idiot. "Pay attention."

"But I'm pacing because I'm nervous!" I shouted, losing my patience. "Just get out!"

He feigned hurt.

"But Eddie-"He grinned when he used his favorite nickname and I grimaced. "I just wanted to help."

"With what? I'm already done and I have to go in a minute." My stomach turned at those words and I gulped nervously. He didn't notice.

"Calming you." Emmett said, his voice adding the of course. "It's what brother's do." He grinned as if his statement was ridiculous, but so funny that he had to do it anyway.

I frowned disbelieving at him. If anything, I was less calm than before he got there. Not as nervous maybe, but mad instead.

"Do you have everything ready?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, I think so." I nodded seriously and checked my mental list once again. Everything was done.

It had been hard to order at the day, but my father was nice and very popular – he had contacts.

"Then why are you so nervous?"

"I'm human." I sighed.

"Me too…." Emmett nodded slowly as if he was thinking it through – was he really a human or not? I rolled my eyes and shook my head. He should be in kindergarten.

I had to admit that he had calmed me down with his idiocy. But I was still nervous and when I looked at the time I realized that I should get going.

"Good luck, man. With…everything." Emmett grinned suggestively.

"Ugh. Bye." I groaned and as quickly as I could I left his company.

I couldn't wait to see Bella.

What did you think? What did you like/not like?

Personally I really enjoy the scene between Edward and our own pixie, Alice. Tell me what you liked in the comments!!

Thanks for reading,
