"Are we going home today?" I asked Alice as I bit into my scone. We were having breakfast in our room, or rather I was. I wouldn't even call it breakfast since it was already 11.

"We want to get some shopping done before we go home, is that all right with you?" asked Alice. I cringed as she said the word shopping. I knew I should stop reacting like that but I'm still not used to all the unnecessary spending of money.

"Isn't your wardrobe full enough already, Alice?" I asked.

"You can't expect me to repeat an outfit!" retorted Alice. "Besides, we're going to buy Edward a wedding present." My eyes shone as she said this. I wanted to buy Edward a present too. I frowned as I thought about how much money I had with me. Maybe the unnecessary spending can be of use to me at times like these.

"Don't worry, Bella. You're the only wedding gift that Edward wants." Alice said to comfort me. "Now finish your breakfast, lunch, whatever, so we can be on our way."

After we got dressed, we decided not to take the car since it was raining anyway. Having a portable weather forecaster was very useful at times like these. Alice led us over to the New York shopping district. I had never seen so many shops lined up in the street ever in my life, let alone designer boutiques.

"Don't worry, Bella," said Alice. "We won't take long, I promise. We're just gonna buy Edward's gift." Alice seemed sincere with her promise but either way I would still have enjoyed a day in the city with my sisters even if they shopped until I died.

"Let's go over there!" said Rosalie as she pointed over to the Victoria's secret boutique.

"Um, Rose," I said. "I doubt Edward would be wearing anything from that place."

"We never said "he" was going to wear it," said Rosalie. Before I could protest, they discreetly lifted me off the ground holding both arms and carried me into the store.

"Now, Bella," said Alice. "Don't be selfish. This isn't for you; it's for our dear brother."

"But Alice!" I whined.

"No, buts. Now what size are you?" I clamped my mouth shut so they wouldn't be able to find my size.

"Do you think that's actually going to work?" contested Alice. She called a saleslady to assist us. "Miss, what would you say her size is?" The woman walked over to me and looked me up and down.

"She's a size 2, but I won't be able to tell her cup size without using my tape measure." The woman announced.

"No problem there," said Alice. "We'll just have to skip buying Bella a bra while I burn those she has at home."

"34 B!" I cried. "Are you happy now? You evil little pixie vampire!" The woman paid no mind to my comment. She must have thought I was joking. My fiancé's sisters just laughed it off.

"No, Bella," said Alice. "I want them to measure your chest because they know how to pick your size better." I grumbled as I let the saleslady take my measurements. Before I knew what was happening, Alice and Rosalie had left me and started running all over the store grabbing everything they could find on the racks.

They came back to me holding every kind of item that the store had in my size. I laughed when I saw that Alice even picked out some towels and lotions.

"Try them on, Bella." Rosalie commanded. I knew there was no use in arguing. I went to the dressing room and tried on some negligees. I was surprised to find that they looked good on me. Alice and Rosalie agreed as well. They gave me some brassieres to try on. I wore the first one and saw that my breast had somehow been lifted to become fuller.

"Are those mine?" I asked incredulously.

"That's the beauty of this invention, Bella." Rosalie explained. "It can make a toothpick look like Pamela Anderson." I laughed at her comparison. After I tried out almost a hundred different items, I was exhausted.

"We'll take it all," Alice told the saleslady. She looked like she had won the lottery. They must work on commission here.

"I can't let you buy them all!" I protested.

"Don't worry about it, Bella." Rosalie reassured me. "You'll get over it once you see Edward's face when he sees you in these!" Alice handed her over her credit card and the woman scurried away to charge everything we bought. I almost fainted when I saw how much everything added up to. I will have to cover myself in plastic whenever I wear one of these. God forbid I'd get my hundred-dollar panties dirty!

As promised, we didn't go crazy in the shopping district. We walked back to the hotel so Alice could book our flight. We were planning on staying another night but it seemed that I wasn't the only one who was getting homesick. I could see that my sisters-in-law were missing their spouses terribly.

After we finished packing, we drove back to the airport and jumped on a plane back to Seattle. My wonderful weekend with my sisters was a success. I couldn't wait to tell Edward all about it. I slept the whole time on the flight. When I woke up we were finally landing.
