Chapter 7: Pretty, Shiny, Sparkly Things!

It was late at night so Bella waited to call Alice the next day but she became sidetracked while going through her cabinets by…well tuna…lots of tuna. About five or six cans of tuna. Bella was on her fifth or sixth can when her cell phone started playing Fun House by P!nk.

This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
I'm gonna burn it down

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun (ok its split screen again.)

She answered it to hear a frustrated Alice on the other end. Timidly she asked what was wrong and her answer was not pretty. At the hospital Alice was sitting up in bed holding her head with one hand and the phone with the other.

"What's wrong? I'll tell you what's! I TRIED TO DO SOME SHOPPING AND THE NURSE KICKED OFF THE COMPUTER AND NOW MY HEAD HURT BECAUSE I'M YELLING!" Bella held the phone away to protect her new sensitive ears. Alice winced from the throbbing pain in her head. It was twice as worse and yelling made it much worse.

"Alice was the computer in the nurses' station? If so, patients are not allowed to touch the computers." Bella said every slowly like she was a five year old. Alice huffed and winced again.

"Anyway I'm calling to ask if you can bring my laptop to me. It's in my cubical." She asked in a tired tone as she laid back down in her bed; sitting next to her a sample bottle of beau-line.

"Alice you sound tired sleep and I'll bring it in a few hour before I go shop-" Alice cut her off shocked nearly dropping the phone.

"You….Isabella Marie Swan are going shopping willingly….OH GOD NURSE! I THINK I'M HULUSINATING!" She winced yet again and a nurse rushed in and looked at Alice like she had a tumor the size of mars on her head.

"Yes, Alice I am you're not hallucinating I need a dress for the police department ball remember, it like every year."

"I thought it was too hard for you to go ever since Renée died." Alice became sad also, Renée was like her mom since she never had one. Well she had one but she died in child birth after a car accident. It was so sad. (A/N: *blows nose* sorry memories of my dad, even though he died in a freak electrical accident. I miss him! Wah! *two waterfalls of tears shoot from both her eyes.)

"Yeah well I have an escort. So I need a dress, so I'm going to get one." Bella said shyly as she blushed.

"Oh. My. GOD! It's Edward isn't it!" She squealed as she stood up on her bed and started jumping up and down like a teenage girl in the presence of Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner; both shirtless.

"Yes and I'm going to find a dress that will make his balls fall off." Izzy took over for a second, but Bella pushed her back. On the other end Alice looked shocked before she fell back on to the hospital bed.

"Bella did I hear you right?" Alice asked astonished. Bella never spoke like that she was to shy.

"I said going to find a dress that will make his jaw fall off…yeah that's what I said!" Bella quickly covered Izzy's comment up. "I have to get ready, bye!?" Bella said in a hurry and hung up. She went to take a shower to get the tuna smell off her after she cleaned up the tuna cans.

Meanwhile back at the hospital Alice dialed the phone. On the third ring Jacob answered with the annoy company greeting. "Hedare Beauty, art department, Jacob Black speaking, how may I help you?" His tone was bored and lifeless like he was dying from lack of entertainment.

"Jakey! (Ouch) Bella will be coming to get my laptop; can you get her passed security?" She asked sweetly and as indecently as possible.

"Anything for my Alice and Bella. Anything else I can do?" With that she was hit with inspiration, "Can you go shopping with Bella; she needs a dress for the ball." She batted her eyelashes.

"Of course I have so many personal days saved up I could say home for a year without getting caned!" He laughed heartedly and Alice held the phone away from her ears.

"Be quiet you idiot; my head hurts!" Jake said sorry and they hung up. Jake waited for Bella down stairs in the lobby with laptop in hand.

Back to Bella YAY!

Bella took a long relaxing shower and dressed in comfortable clothes perfect for shopping and left for her old office to pick to Alice's laptop. As she walked in to the lobby she was met with an exited Jacob waving Alice pink laptop in the air.

"Alice called you?" He nodded eagerly. Bella eyed him and asked him what he was so eager for.

"I'm going shopping with you!" He said while hugging the laptop and jumping like a school girl and smiling like an idiot.

"No, Jake, now hand me the laptop and get you but up stairs and do your job. You will not get fire because of me!" Bella ordered Jacob but he just huffed said:

"I'll tell you like I told Alice 'I have so many personal days saved up I could say home for a year without getting caned.' Now let's get to the hospital before all the good dresses are gone. We can share a cab." He pushed her out the revolving door and put the laptop into his messenger bag and held a cab.

-Time warp-

A half hour later they arrived and went straight to Alice's room. When they arrived Alice was sedated. While Bella looking for the doctor, Jacob placed the laptop on the side table and sat done and waited for Bella to come back.

Mean while Dr. Whitlock was in the cafeteria sitting at a table in the corner with his head in his hands. He had received Alice's test results, her brain has been exposed to many toxins and it almost killed her. Earlier he had to sedate her because the pain was too much. So he had the nurses give her a morphine button and it knocked her out.

While in her room he found another bottle of the cream Bella mentioned to him the day Alice Brandon arrived. He looked back down at her file to see the Polaroid he had taken to put in said file. She was lovely even when in pain. He looked longingly at the picture but knew she was too good for him.

Unseen eyes watched him sigh and close the file and push it aside. Her new eyes could see Alice's picture.

"Hello, Dr. Whitlock, I was just in Alice's room and she's sedated. I was talking to her early and she was complaining her head pain came back; any ideas why?" Bella asked as she sat across from him. He nodded yes as he reached into his lab coat for the bottle.

"When I went to check her vitals she was withering in pain and I found this on her side table." He placed the cream on the table and looked at her with sadness. "I don't know who gave her this but when I took her other one I notice all her symptoms disappeared completely. She had withdraws but we gave her medication for that." Bella nodded in a 'I understand' gesture.

"It was when she had a visitor a yesterday that wasn't you, your father, Mr. Black or Mr. Masen that the symptoms came back. You are right about this cream. Where does this come from, it has no label?" He asked in an awed one.

"I don't know sorry but she's addicted to it." She lied. He nodded and started thinking.

'Hey Izzy, you there?' Bella asked not sure if Izzy would respond.

'Yeah, I know they have to be stopped; I love Alice too. Just let me do all the talking and shut up.' Izzy said as she took over Bella's voice.

"Doc, can I see the surveillance video, you know to see this visitor. Who knows; I might know him." He nodded yes and took her to the security room. He asked the guard to play the video from the day the man came. Doctor Whitlock pointed out the man he saw leaving Alice's room, Izzy recognized him as Carlisle Cullen. She said she didn't know who he was to cover her tracks. He would be her info cow.

As they were walking back to Alice's room Bella gained control over her voice again. Bella gained some confidence to ask him:

"You like Alice, don't you?" He stopped mid-step and turned to see if she was serious. When he saw she most definitely was he turned a bright tomato red and looked down in sadness. Bella giggled a little and shook her head.

"Ask her out trust me." Bella told him in a confident tone.

"She wouldn't want to. Plus she's too good for me." He said in a depressed voice. Bella looked shocked and her chin hit the sanitary hospital floor.

"Are you kidding me!? You're the one she's been running after since she became aware of her surroundings. Here," Bella reached into her bag and pulled out two tickets for the policemen's Ball and placed them into his hands. "Ask her to go with you to this and I'll get her a dress while I get mine today. She will say yes; no scratch that she will scream it from the roof top of the hospital."

He looked at the tickets in disbelief then back at Bella. "How did you get tickets to this? It's been sold out for a month now…" He asked in awe.

"My dad Charlie, he is the chief of police for the whole city and my mom started the Ball to help fund the budget but now half goes to breast cancer research. So I always get ticket for friends. Just ask her when she is coherent in a few days. The ball isn't for another three weeks so she should be out by then, right?" She asked after her long speech. He nodded and they continued to the room.

When they entered Jacob was online shopping since they took so long. He snapped the laptop shout and they left for Shopper's Lane and to the first dress shop they saw.

"Ok Jake, Alice needs a dress to. Hey are you going this year?" Bella asked looking over to Jacob as he removed a few dresses from a rack. He shook his head no and handed her a few dresses to try on and all but pushed her in to a changing room.

"I take it Alice is, who is her date?" He asked when she came out in the first dress and shook his head 'no'. Bella removed the dress and put on the second one. With a sweet heart neck-line and a slit going all the way up to her mid thigh she said no not even leaving the dressing room. So she looked at the last dress and just but her normal cloths back on and stepped out

"Doctor Jasper Whitlock will be asking her, well if he can conjure up the guts that is." Bella laughed has she moved through the dresses and spotted an emerald green Niki Livas Strapless Charmeuse Gown at least she thinks it is. It just screams Alice.

"The hot doctor and who are you going with?" Jacob asked as he looked through a pile of dresses.

"Edward Masen, hey what about this one?" She asked holding up the dress for him to see.

"It's not your color." He dismissed it and continued with his questions. "Who is Edward Masen?"

"Not for me for Alice and you call him Man-Sandwich." She said with a giggle and he's face lit up like a twilight fan-girl seeing Kellan Lutz at Wal-Mart.

"He had a gorgeous ass and yes that's perfect for Alice!" H stated as they continued looking for a few more hours

They switched shops after paying for the dress and came up short. Bella was about to give up. As they walked thought the doors of the last shop Bella saw it. A sexy blue Carlos Mielegown. She walked right over to it and pushed the chick aside that was holding it and walked to the dressing room. It fit like a glove. (A/N: dresses on profile.)

"Izzy, what do you think?" Bella asked as she looked in to the mirror.

'Not bad, I love it!' She said taking control of her arms to give two thumbs up.

When she walked out Jacob was fight in a skanky looking girl for a dress.

"Jacob I found the one I want. What do out think?" Jacob looked over at her still having a firm grip on the dress. When he saw her he let go and applauded. "Alice will be so proud! Come on let go get some jewelry!" She changed back in to her street clothes then they paid and walked across the street to the jewelry store called 'Eclipse Diamonds'.

As they passed the window displays a sparkling necklace caught Bella's eye. She stared at it for a good five minutes before Jacob noticed she was still outside.

"Bella there is no way you can afford that; not even Alice can afford that." He said with a laugh and tried to pull her away in vain.

"But its sooooo pretty…" She stared some more till Jake pulled her in to the store. They found some lovely jewelry to go with the dresses and went to a cute little Italian restaurant called 'La Bella Italia' for lunch. (A/N: jewelry is on profile.)

Meanwhile Edward was at his desk doing paper work for a case he had just cracked when Chief Swan walked up.

"Masen, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked as he sat down in the chair next to Edward's desk.

"What's on your mind chief?" Edward asked as he leaned back in his chair and waited for him to start.

"You're one of the finest detectives I've ever had. I want to be serious with you; what is your relationship with my daughter?" He asked in a completely serious tone. Edward was shocked and thought about how much he cared for her and smiled.

"We went on a few dates, but I'm taking her to the ball and I was hoping Bella and I could become more." He said the last part in a sheepish tone.

"She's going to the ball this year? She hasn't been since my wife died…" He said in a shocked and awed tone. Edward nodded and said, "She told me what happen to Mrs. Swan, my condolences by the way."

"I loved that woman; still do. Bella took it hard when her mother died…" He trailed off thinking of Renée Swan. He smiled and looked up at Edward.

"You want her as your girl friend?" He asked him and he nodded.

"Yes I do, with your blessings of course?" He made it more of a question. Edward was raised to be a gentleman by his mother and always had proper manners.

The chief laughed with a lot of heart and replied, "You have my blessing Edward; just don't hurt her." His done was deadly and sweet all at the same time. It made Edward's skin crawl.

"Thank you, sir. I would never hurt her." With that Charlie let him finish his work and went to his office. Edward picked up his desk phone and called her cell just to hear her voice.

_This is my line!_

In the middle of lunch Bella's phone blared Fallin' For You by Colbie Caillat.(A/N: I love this song!)

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you (x2)

I'm fallin' for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you

She answered her phone after digging it out her bag.

"Hello beautiful." Edwards's voice rang through the phone and Bella blushed.

"Hey Edward you need something?"

"Just wanted to hear your voice and I just had a chat with your dad." He said teasing.

'Oh, crap! What did they talk about?'

"Hey is that man-sandwich!" Jacob asked, loudly I might add causing everyone to look at them. Bella giggled and nodded her head 'Yes' and blushed.

"Where are you Bella and with who?" Edward asked in a curious/jealous tone causing Bella to giggle again.

"I'm having lunch with my friend Jacob. We just finished shopping for ball gowns." Bella said looking at Jacob and mouthing 'shut up!'

"I thought you hated shopping; and who is Jacob?" He asked this time jealousy overpowering curiosity.

"Is that jealousy I detect?" She asked in a joking manner and Jacob laughed. "For you first question I like shopping but I hate shopping with Alice. The second one, Jacob is the guy who calls you man-sandwich and he is gay and proud of it to." Edward side in relief and changed the subject.

"How is Alice doing?"

"Not good; she got her hand on more of that cream and she had to be sedated because her pain came back ten folds. But I bought her dress for the ball because a certain doctor likes her. I gave him tickets and told him she would say yes but he's really shy." Bella told him the whole story leaving out the security video and they said good bye.

After lunch Jacob went home and so did Bella. She put the dresses in her closet and took a hot bath and went to bed. She tried to go to sleep but the same ass holes started playing their music loud again.
