The next day...
Peter's POV
We were at a car dealership in Port Angeles. Charlie and Carlisle were out fishing with Billy Black and Harry Clearwater. With Charlie and Carlisle driving home with us tomorrow, we needed to pick up a big enough vehicle to carry all of us on our drive back to Arizona. Sure, we could have flown, but Jessica had way too many 'mementos from home' that she was taking along with her. She and Emmett were driving her car down, but the rest of us needed a car to follow them in.
I decided to purchase a Chevy Suburban for the drive down, it would seat all of us, and I needed a second vehicle for Lauren anyway. We got to the dealership and test drove a couple of Suburbans. I chose a fully loaded Chevy Suburban with all the bells and whistles that could be imagined. I wrote a check for the price that the salesman quoted, which I already knew, because it was exact price listed on the sticker when Bella abruptly took the check and ripped it in half. That's when Jasper, Emmett, and I noticed that Bella, Jess, and Lauren were staring fiercely into the eyes of the salesman.
"You crook!" Bella seethed at the salesman. "You didn't even bother offering him a deal!"
"Now, sweetheart, I'm just quoting him the real price. It's on the sticker."
"Don't you patronize me. I know a thing or two about purchasing cars and the first rule is to never pay sticker price."
"Bella, it's no big deal, it's only fifty-nine thousand dollars."
"Only fifty-nine thousand dollars?" Lauren questioned incredulously. "Do you realize, Peter, that fifty-nine thousand dollars is more than what most people make in a year? It's not something that you just throw away. And now that this dumb-fuck knows that fifty-nine thousand dollars is no skin off your back, he's not going to bother giving you any sort of deal! Hand over your checkbook to me."
"Um, honey, I..."
"NOW!" she roared. I gave her my checkbook immediately, then she lectured me on the value of money with Bella and Jess backing her up with examples. The salesperson kept at his hard sell, though.
"Turn around boys and walk out of the dealership right this second," Jess stated firmly.
"But we need..."
"Walk out of here now," she continued.
Dejected, Jasper, Emmett, and I walked out of the dealership with the girls following us and the salesperson right at my side.
"Don't listen to these women. They don't know what they're talking about," he said.
"Mister, if you hadn't already lost the sale, you just completely lost it with the way you just minified us," Bella stated venomously.
"Bitch," the salesman whispered under his breath.
"What the fuck did you just call my fiance?" Jasper growled then sent him a fuckton of fear that left him shivering in the fetal position in the car lot.
"Well, now what are we supposed to do?" I asked when we got into Jess's father's Tahoe which he was letting us borrow.
"You're going to drive to the Ford Dealership on Front Street. The three of you are going to wait in the vehicle while the three of us go and negotiate a deal on a Ford Expedition," Bella stated. "We will call you when it's time for you to sign for the vehicle."
"Wait? But what if I don't like the Expedition? Shouldn't I test drive it?"
"Good point. Alright, then drop us off at the pizza shop a block away. You test drive a couple and come back and tell us if you like it. Do not, under any circumstance, indicate to the salesperson that you're interested in the vehicle. Oh, and hand over all forms of payment in your wallets to me now."
"Wait! Why? I already gave Lauren my checkbook."
"Because you three have proven yourselves irresponsible, that's why."
"Oh, and don't ask the salesperson how much he wants for the vehicle," Jessica warned.
"No matter how tempting it is, walk away," Lauren warned.
"Got it!" I said and started walking out of the door with Jasper and Emmett.
"Hey! Everything but your driver's licenses in my purse now!" Bella reminded us.
"Fine!"
Reluctantly the three of us handed everything but our driver's licenses over to Bella who stored them in her purse for safekeeping.
"What the hell just happened?" I asked.
"I don't know, I think my balls just fell into Bella's purse," Jasper chuckled.
"Yeah, no shit, mine too."
We approached the Ford dealership and I saw Jasper's and Emmett's faces light up as soon as they saw the salesman. It was Lauren's ex-boyfriend, Tyler Crowley, from high school.
"He'll give us a good deal, we know him," Emmett said.
I test drove a couple of Ford Expeditions and ended up settling on a fully loaded, King Ranch version.
"So, are we ready to make a deal?" Tyler asked.
"Hell, yeah. This is a great ride," I said. "So, how much are you asking for this?"
"Well, the sticker price is fifty-seven thousand, but I'll cut you a deal and take two hundred off of it since I'm friends with Jasper and Emmett. Are you ready to fill out the paperwork?"
"Two hundred off? What do you guys think?" I asked Jasper and Emmett.
"Sounds like a good deal to me," Emmett said.
"Yep," Jasper agreed.
"Alright, we'll take it. Let me just go to my vehicle and get my checkbook."
"I'll get started on the paperwork," Tyler said happily.
Jasper, Emmett, and I rushed into the pizza shop with smiles on our faces.
"Well, did you test drive the Expedition?" Bella asked.
"Yep," I said.
"And did you like it?"
"Sure did, plus we got a great deal!"
"What do you mean by you got a great deal?"
"Since Emmett and I went to school with Tyler he gave us two hundred dollars off of the sticker price," Jasper informed his mate.
"Oh, two hundred dollars off. How generous," Bella said sarcastically and rolled her eyes at us.
"Did you say, Tyler, as in my ex from high school, Tyler Crowley?" Lauren questioned.
"Yeah, and you know what, baby? He's not such a bad guy, he offered us a discount right off the bat."
"What was the sticker price?"
"Fifty-seven thousand."
"Oh, and he's taking two hundred off?"
"Yep, and he's doing the paperwork now so I need the checkbook."
Lauren smiled, reached into her purse and grabbed her...makeup bag? She quickly started touching up her face, then worked on Bella and Jess.
"Um, honey, I need the checkbook," I said to Lauren.
"Fuck, no."
"Honey, you're being..."
"I'm being what?" My mate had her hands on her hips and I swear she looked ready to bite my head off. In fact all three of them did.
"You three go and sit in my dad's Tahoe and don't move until we call you," Jess ordered.
"Wait, why?"
"Because you three can't follow simple instructions. We told you to test drive the Expedition and return here without making any sort of deal."
"Yeah, but he gave us a discount."
"Um, yeah, two hundred dollars off of fifty-seven thousand is about three tenth of one percent off, Pete," Bella informed me. "You three sit your asses down in the vehicle while we remedy the situation."
"And just how do intend on doing that?"
"We have our ways. Had you just test driven the vehicle and came straight back to us like we told you to, we wouldn't have to use extreme measures to obtain a discount, but you've brought this onto yourselves!" Lauren snapped with her hands on her hips.
Jess held the door to her father's Tahoe open for us. "Get inside!" she ordered.
The three of us immediately obeyed and got in the vehicle. Our three ferocious human mates glared at us, shook their heads, and walked towards the dealership, grumbling about us being clueless, and how if Angela were here, she'd rip us a new one.
"What the hell was that? I thought we did good," Jasper commented.
"Hey, are your balls still attached because I'm pretty sure mine have receded," Emmett noted while staring down at his crotch.
I looked down between my legs too, they were still there, but I'm pretty sure that they're filled with cotton.
"We're not really going to sit in here, are we?" Jasper asked.
"Hell, no. We're men! We can't have women telling us what to do! We're going to watch them from a distance," I decided.
"Yeah, stealth. Like spies."
"We'll be like James Bond," Emmett agreed with Jasper.
We got out of the Tahoe and walked towards the dealership. We crouched behind a car and observed our women from a distance. They were just at the entrance of the dealership. I saw Lauren undoing three of her top buttons and applying lipstick on her delicious lips and smacking them together. She ordered Bella and Jess to do the same.
"Okay, ladies, we're doing a three pronged assault. Bella, you're the informed consumer, Jess and I will do the distracting just like we did when we bought Jess's car two years ago."
"Got it!" Bella did a fist pump and the other two joined her in a show of solidarity.
"Let's do this," Jess stated with conviction.
They walked inside.
"Hi, Tyler," Bella said. We noticed Jess and Lauren were hanging out in the showroom. "I heard that Peter was in here looking at an Expedition, can I see it?"
"Um, where's Peter?" he asked.
"He'll be around."
"Listen, I'm busy doing some paperwork."
"Tyler, let me get straight to the point. You offered him a two hundred dollar discount off of fifty-seven thousand dollars, that works out to roughly three tenths of one percent off of the total purchase price."
"Yeah, so, it's a good deal."
"I don't think so," Bella said. "I know for a fact that oversized SUV's like the Expedition aren't selling well because of poor fuel economy and inflated gas prices. In fact, I believe that sales of the Expedition have gone down by over two hundred thousand units in the span of ten years."
"Where the hell does she get this info, Jasper?"
"Dunno."
"Um, I don't know...um...I was still in high school ten years ago."
"Yes, I'm aware of that, I was in high school with you. However, as a salesperson, this type of information is something that you should know. Now, since these vehicles aren't selling that well, the manufacturer, in this case Ford Motor Company, should have a few incentives available to entice customers into purchasing them."
Tyler shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Bella, I'm really busy right now. Peter's coming back and..."
"Bella," Lauren interrupted Tyler. "Would you hold Pete's checkbook for me? It's really weighing down my purse."
"Sure, no problem. I'll keep it safe for him."
Tyler gasped at the knowledge that Bella had hold of my checkbook, then looked up and noticed my mate and her low cut blouse.
"Oh my God, Ty!" Lauren gushed and gave him a hug. "It's been so long!"
Tyler's eyes shot straight to my mate's tits. "Hi, Lauren."
"So, can you show me the Expedition that Pete wants to buy?"
"Sure, it's parked right in front of the showroom." He practically shoved Bella out of the way to get to Lauren.
Bella and Lauren walked out of the showroom and to the Expedition. Bella got in the driver's seat while Lauren ran her hands over the hood.
"Ooh! This is nice," she said, stroking the paint job as if it were my chest. She hopped onto the hood and leaned back, spreading her legs wide with her hands stroking her thighs. "Oh, the hood is nice and roomy too. Oh, it'll be perfect for...mmm...yes..."
Now she was crawling on all fours on the hood and had her eyes trained on Tyler. He was practically panting as he hungrily eyed my mate. I was sprawled on my stomach on the ground with Emmett sitting on me so that I couldn't stop her. What the hell is my mate doing?
Bella honked the horn of the Expedition and Lauren slithered off of the hood. Meanwhile, Jess had come outside and she was adjusting her tits in the passenger side mirror. Tyler's eyes zoomed straight to her. In fact, at this point, the entire sales team was watching the proceedings as Jess maneuvered and jiggled her ample tits in front of the mirror.
Next, Jess hopped into the second row seats of the Tahoe. "Ooh! This is roomy enough for me and Emmett to have fun in." She started crawling all over the seat and rubbing her hands all over her body. Then she started making like she was riding Emmett in the backseat. The entire male sales team plus a few customers were mesmerized by the free show. Now Jasper and I were sitting on Emmett who was trying to run to Jess.
"Ahem!" Bella got out of the vehicle. "Everything seems to be in order but the price. I'd like to know what the current rebates and incentives that Ford Motor Company has going for the Expedition. If you can't tell me, Tyler. I'm sure your sales manager will. It is, after all, against the law to not disclose all available offers from the manufacturer. Any lawyer can tell you that."
"She's right," I said after thinking.
As soon as the word lawyer fell from her lips, a man came out and said, "Ma'am, my name is Larry Cheatum. I'm the sales manager here. I couldn't help overhearing your conversation with Mr. Crowley. I'm sure that he just overlooked the fact that the current offer for cash buyers of any full-size truck or SUV is a forty-five hundred dollar instant manufacturer rebate."
"Hmm...forty-five hundred dollars off works out to seven percent. Is that the best you can do?"
"That's a significant amount, ma'am."
"Sounds insignificant to me. Your dealership isn't actually taking anything off of the purchase price, Ford Motor Company is. Lauren, Jess, let's go. The Chevy Dealership down the road is offering a better deal on their Suburbans."
The three girls turned their backs and started to walk out. "But...wait! Let's talk about this. I'm sure that we can come up with a figure that would meet with your satisfaction."
"I'm not too sure. So far, your dealership has been less than forthcoming with your offers."
"We'll throw in all weather floor mats. They're worth seventy-five dollars."
"Seventy-five dollar floor mats?" Bella shook her head. "If that's all you're willing to do for us, then no, thank you. You know, the Forks Police Department, where my father was the late police chief by the way, purchase their fleet from here. I think I'll be having a word with the new police chief about how you treat your customers. I'm very good friends with Chief Marshall and his daughter, I'm sure that he'd be interested in what I have to say."
"Are you Charlie's daughter?" another man asked, walking out of the building.
"Yes, God rest his soul," Bella whimpered in an Oscar worthy performance. Lauren and Jess put their arms around her as Bella managed to get a tear to roll down her face.
"My name is Richard Stroker, but you can call me Dick. I'm the fleet sales manager here. You are?"
"Dick Stroker?" Jasper questioned us.
The three of us started cracking up and Jasper projected his humor. Everyone started laughing except for Bella who maintained her serious expression.
"Isabella Swan."
"Very nice to meet you. May I offer your condolences in regards to your late father. He was a fine man. I'll be personally handling the sales of your vehicle today. Is this Expedition the one that you were interested in?"
"Yes, this and the candy apple red, Ford F-150 in the showroom. My fiance is purchasing that for me."
"I am?" Jasper asked us.
"Yes, you are! Punishment for not being a good listener," Bella whispered towards where we were hiding. How the hell did she know we were here? We were being covert and stealth.
"Why don't we go into my office and discuss this? I'm sure I can make it worth your while."
"That'll be fine."
Jess and Lauren walked into the office with them. I heard Jess whisper Lauren, "Dick Stroker sounds like a porn star name."
"Yeah, I know, but he doesn't look like a porn star. Well, I suppose he can be like a sleazy father who seduces the babysitter."
My mate is weird. Yep, there's no doubt about that. What kind of woman comes up with porn scenarios?
Bella was able to negotiate both vehicles at forty-five hundred dollars below dealer cost. After Dick Stroker offered her both vehicles at dealer cost, she pointed out that the forty-five hundred dollar rebate was coming from the manufacturer not the dealer so he would be getting the cash back direct from Ford Motor Company anyway. He reluctantly agreed with her and even threw in heavy duty, all weather floor mats for both vehicles.
"How will you be paying for these vehicles?"
"Personal check, we can obtain a cashier's check at the bank if you'd like."
"No, there's no need Miss Swan. I highly doubt that you'd try and pass off a bad check."
Bella sent us a quick text asking us to come in. The three of us walked into the office. She had both my check and Jasper's check filled out. I was shocked, we had each gotten roughly eleven thousand dollars off of the sticker price.
After we signed the checks, Bella asked, "When will the vehicles be ready for pick-up?"
"Give us two to three hours, we have to get your truck out of the showroom, inspect both vehicles, and spruce them up for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Stroker. We'll be back later today."
The six of us walked away from the dealership and I couldn't help, but give Bella a hug. "Thanks for getting me that deal."
"You're welcome," she said, giving me a squeeze.
"I still don't understand how it came about that I'm out thirty-five grand," Jasper stated.
"Punishment for not staying in the Tahoe like we told you too."
"How the hell did you even know where I was?"
"You projected your humor on all of the employees plus Jess and Lauren. Besides, ever since you marked me, I've been able to gage how near or far you are."
Well, that's weird, Lauren doesn't feel that close connection to me. I wonder if Bella's shield makes her more in tune with her vampire side?
"Really? Huh? I thought that would only happen after you were changed," Jasper noted.
"Thanks for my new truck, Jasper," Bella said sweetly.
"You're welcome, baby." The guy was pussy whipped. He just couldn't say no to his mate. Hell, I can't say no to her when she looks at me with her big brown doe eyes and pouts so innocently like that.
Three hours later, after taking the girls shopping, we returned to the dealership to pick up our new vehicles. I had to admit that Bella had a sweet ride. Jasper had purchased a candy apple red, 4 x 4, Ford F150 with a super cab and all of the bells and whistles available for Bella. With three vehicles, we'd definitely have a more comfortable ride down to Arizona.
When we got back home, Bella worked on dinner while Jess and Emmett went to her house to spend one final night with her parents. Carlisle and Charlie were still fishing with Billy Black and Harry Clearwater. We were driving to Arizona tomorrow morning.
Three days later...
We were almost at my house in Arizona. It ended up taking us three days to drive the thirteen hundred miles from Forks. The girls kept needing to pull over and stop to use the bathroom, eat, sleep, and all of those human things that vampires never take into consideration. On top of that, Bella and Lauren both drove speed limit the entire way down. When Charlie yelled at her to go faster, she pointed out that he was the one that told her to always go speed limit because going any faster would put the lives of other drivers at risk. Lauren added that if they got into a car accident, Charlie might survive but she, Bella, and Jess would all die of traumatic injuries. He shut up after that and grumbled the entire way there about how the girls should have been changed months ago.
As soon as we pulled into the driveway of the house, Pat, Angela, Charlotte, Garrett, Laurent, and Victoria came out to greet us.
"Oh, baby, I missed you!" Pat cried, engulfing Lauren in a hug. That's when we all heard the snap. She had hugged her too tightly and broken her spine. All hell broke loose after that.
Carlisle rushed over to Lauren who had passed out from the pain. Charlie had to go and care for a shrieking Pat, Jasper had to send out large doses of calm to everyone, and I was freaking out at the state of my mate who had been perfectly fine and healthy a moment ago.
"Peter! Get a hold of yourself and change her! Now!" Carlisle yelled. "Angela no!"
I turned to my right and Angela had sunk her teeth into Jess's neck and was draining her. Jasper pulled her away from Jess and told Emmett to change his mate because she didn't have enough venom. He was too unhinged to do so. Jasper took Jess and started administrating the bites at the same time as I did for Lauren. They both started howling in agony at the burn immediately.
"Where the hell is Bells?" Charlie asked.
"Shit! I don't know," Jasper cried.
Everyone started looking for Bella who we all found cowering in fear on the floor of the truck wearing as many layers of clothes as possible and with everything from winter scarves to t-shirts wrapped around her neck.
"And you all say that I don't have a sense of self preservation," she mumbled.
"Um, come out of the truck, baby," Jasper said, opening the door to the truck.
"No, that's okay, I'm fine. I'll live here from now on."
"Bella, no one's going to hurt you. Your father, Laurent, and Vicky have taken Pat and Angela hunting."
"No, no...the truck is nice and roomy."
She was terrified, shaking, and staring at all of us in abject fear. Her brown eyes were filled with tears and she was trying to keep her composure as much as possible.
"I won't let anyone hurt you, okay? Why don't you come out of the truck?"
Bella, who was now bordering on catatonic, shook her head no. She shut the door and locked herself inside the truck.
"Alright, we need to get Angela and Lauren inside," Carlisle sighed. "We'll figure out what to do about Bella after that. Peter, you can't just pick Lauren up. Her spine has been broken. We're going to need to slide her onto a makeshift gurney carefully so the venom can heal her properly."
"How about the plywood board that we have down in the basement?" I asked.
"Perfect. Bring it out here and we can figure it out."
Ten minutes later we had Jess and Lauren inside. Poor Jasper was left alone to deal with his hysterical mate who seemingly wanted nothing to do with vampires all of a sudden.
By the time Charlotte and I went out to check on the couple, Bella was quietly weeping in the truck while Jasper was slumped on the ground, absorbing her emotions.
"Alright, buddy, get up," I told him. "You're the Major."
"I can't, her emotions are too powerful. She's..."
"Jasper, maybe you should take her away from here," I suggested in vampire tone and speed. "Give her one last human night out. I think she's shocked at how quickly humanity can end."
"She is. All I can feel from her are shock, but even more than that—fear."
"Major, you need to man up! You're going to have to change her within forty-eight hours," Charlotte snapped. "She can't be human when Jess and Lauren wake up. They'll kill her. Her scent is sweeter now that you've marked her. For God's sake, I have tremendous control and I nearly went for her. I doubt Angela and Pat will be able to control themselves around her when they get back from hunting, they're not under complete control yet."
"Why do you think Angela went for Jess?" I asked.
"She had her monthly period. You guys were all accustomed to it, but Angela and Pat weren't used to blood being so exposed. In an odd way, that may have ultimately been what saved Bella from being attacked."
"Oh man." Jasper dropped his head in his hands. I have to go and hunt if I'm going to change Bella. I lost a lot of venom while changing Jess."
"I'll keep an eye on her," I said.
"You should be with your mate."
"Yeah, I know, but Bella's precious to both me and Lauren. You won't be gone long."
"Alright, give me a couple of hours. I need to find a criminal."
"I'll stay here too, Jasper," Charlotte assured.
Jasper took off running into the night.
Charlotte held my hand and smiled at me. "Your mate will be okay."
"I know, I'm more worried about Bella. She never loses her composure."
"Maybe it was seeing her two best friends changed without warning that spooked her. She's probably a planner. Someone that likes to know all the details of what's happening before it happens."
"Yeah, she is. Plus she had a traumatic week. When Edward and Alice attacked her and Jess this week, they knocked Jess out and they had Bella on her back with her pants off."
"Jesus! The poor thing."
"She was doing her best to keep it together. She didn't want to give neither of them the satisfaction of showing them fear."
"Why? Why do they want to hurt her so much?" Charlotte asked.
"I don't know, it's her blood. She smells sweeter than anyone I've ever encountered. I suspect that she's Edward's singer and he's already had a taste of her blood once. He wants more, he's addicted to it."
"And what of Alice?"
"I can't figure her out yet. Bella told us the oddest thing. She said that Edward was ordering Alice around like a lackey. And when he attempted to rape her, he became oddly OCD and ordered Alice to remove her clothes then fold them neatly at the creases. She obeyed him like a lap dog and she said that her eyes darkened with lust whenever he belted out orders."
"What I can't understand is why the hell would she allow her mate to be with another woman? And as a woman, how can she condone rape?"
"I don't know, and here's another weird thing about Edward. When he saw Jasper's mark on her, he spoke of Bella as if she were his possession. 'Who marked what's rightfully mine?' I heard him demand of her. She told him to go fuck himself, but still, don't you think that's an odd question to ask of someone who isn't your mate?"
"Yes, I do. I can tell you that she and Jasper are definitely mates. I've never seen a bond so strong. When he changes her, she'll be his bonded mate and I bet their bond will strengthen even more. Do you think Edward and Alice will come for her even after she's changed?"
"I do, Char. Edward has an unnatural obsession with Bella."
"Well, he's an idiot if he does. She is the Major's mate."
"That she is." I started laughing.
"What?"
"She's just like him, for the most part she has her head together, but when she lets her emotions get to her like now, she really let's them take over."
"You're right," Char chuckled. "She's definitely his other half. Besides, she's the only person that I've ever seen that can bring the Major to his knees."
We talked for a few hours until we realized that Bella had fallen fast asleep in the truck. I jimmied the door open and gently cradled her onto my lap. "You cried yourself to sleep, didn't you, sweet thing?" I brushed her hair back, she was covered in sweat.
"We have to get her out of these clothes. This Arizona heat is brutal even at night. The poor thing will get a heat stroke," a concerned Char said as she removed every piece of clothing that Bella managed to put on herself. "What the hell is that atrocious pink gown with the Hello Kitty on it? A Halloween costume?"
"Oh, um, that was the bridesmaid dress that Jess picked," I informed Char.
"You're fucking with me, right?"
"Nope."
"Well, what the hell did she wear? A Hello Kitty wedding gown?"
"Yep."
"Alright, now she's weird and if Bella and Lauren wore those fucked up gowns for her, they must really love her."
"That they do."
Charlotte finally pulled every piece of clothing off of Bella except for the white daisy dukes and tank top that she had originally been wearing.
"Man! She has a hot bod!" Garrett stated coming out to check on his mate. "Jasper is one lucky guy."
"I sure am," Jasper said jogging back fresh from his hunt. "Thanks for watching her. I can take it from here. I'll take her to a hotel to unwind."
"That's a good idea, Jasper," Char said. "Let her have some peaceful last human experiences before changing her."
"I will. Hey, can you help me unload this luggage from the truck? That way I can leave before Pat and Angela get back from their hunt."
"Sure thing, bro."
Charlotte gathered up the clothes that she removed for Bella and brought them into the house. She kissed Bella on the forehead before leaving her. I did the same thing and gathered up the rest of the luggage together with Garrett. Jasper took off right after that.
I watched Jasper drive away with his mate then stared off into the Arizona Desert. Life has a funny way of changing at a moment's notice. Jess and Lauren were changing and the normally strong Bella was an emotional wreck. Hearing my mate's screams of agony, I rushed back into my house, eager for her to finally become like me and looking forward to what lay on the horizon.
So do you think the boys should be allowed to approach a car dealership alone? Did the girls do the right thing by commandeering their checkbooks? How did Bella do in negotiating with the salesman? That was pretty slick of her to throw a truck in there for herself, don't you think? Lastly, what did you think of Bella's reaction to her friends' sudden transformations? I'd love to hear from you so I can write back.
