A/N: I had the hardest time thinking of a scene to go along with the quote for July 20, 2008, which is why I took so long to release the chapter. I hope you like it, anyway. Enjoy and Review!

"Alice," I said as her hands were whirring across my face with various beauty supplies, "No matter what you do, I will still be plain old Bella. That is, until I change, anyway."

"No one will dare to call you plain when I'm through with you," Alice said.

"Only because they're afraid you'll suck their blood."

"I doubt it," she said, her hands frozen in the air, "Not many people are on the lookout for bloodsucking vampires."

"Yes, but all the same."

"Will you just be quiet and let me get you beautified?" Alice said, "I never got to do this when I was a human and soon you won't be human either. I'll have no more Barbie dolls to play with."

I sighed. "Sure Alice. You really know how to get me on guilt trips. Let's just get it over with."

Her hands began moving so fast once again that they were almost invisible.
