I had a very bad day. Everyone at school knew something was up cause I wasn't my usual bouncy self. If anything I was flat.

It all started when I woke up. I had a headache, I stabbed myself with my eyeliner brush, and I managed to rip my contacts. Great.

So I went to school, wearing my specs (see also: Nerd glasses) and I played off of the nerd look. Of course, I had my standard heels, but some how I managed to break one of them. So now instead of cute collegiate, I was the short nerd.

Then I got into a fight with Jasper. Rose always said it was bound to happen, after all three years of our blissful love (her words, not mine), the honeymoon phase would end. I always told her we were different. I guess not.

I don't even remember what it was about now, but hell he was wrong. He's a man and they are always wrong.

I failed my fashion project because I forgot my promo board. I couldn't believe I forgot that. Alice Cullen never forgets things like that.

Oh and did I mention it was my birthday? Yeah it is. But mom and dad didn't say anything and neither did my friends.

This day sucks.

And now I'm home, sulking in my room. It may sound childish, but damnit it's my eighteenth birthday! Some one should want to hang out with me right? Wrong. Rose is too busy to go shopping. Bella had to work. Emmett and Jasper had practice and Edward had a piano lesson.

I don't need them. I'm perfectly fine in my room with Aurora and cheesy romance movies. At least my dog loves me.

"Mary Alice, come down here!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs.

And now I'm in trouble... perfect.

I dragged myself out of my room and headed towards the stairs. I was too busy looking at my new pedicured nails that I didn't notice the anything in the living room.

When I entered the living room my brother, Edward, my cousin Emmett, and my boyfriend where all dressed in drag, sitting on the couch. I quirked an eyebrow in question to my mom.

She just shook her head, "I don't know what is going on, but these three say this is your doing." She said in a stern voice.

What the fuck? I was just in my room.

"I don't know what is going on." I told her. I looked at Jasper, who out of the three looked the most uncomfortable in the sundress I recognized as Rose's. "What's going on?" I asked him.

He looked down and shrugged just as Rose came out of the down stairs bathroom. "Oh Alice! Good you're here." She came over and put her arm around me. "Thanks Esme," she said with a smile. My mom laughed and sat in dad's recliner.

"No problem. I think she's worried that she's in trouble." She said nodding her head in my direction.

"She is in the room you know," I growled.

Emmett snickered and got a slap to the back of his head by Edward.

"Get up you three! You have some making up to do." Rose snapped and instantly the boys were on their feet.

"The only one I'm mad at is the blond," I whispered to her.

"I know. Go sit, you'll like this." she told me pushing me towards the couch. I sat down and watched as Emmett and Edward moved the coffee table. Curious.

The boys stood shoulder to shoulder. The only one that seemed to be having fun was Emmett. But of course he would. He found the humor in everything.

"You should have done their makeup too Rosie," I told her keeping my eyes on Jasper. His eyes narrowed at me before he shook his head.

"Yeah, I figured you'd like to do that part," she said and started laughing when Edward flinched. He's still pissed that I showed Bella the pictures of him in mom's high heels, blue eye shadow and hot pink lipstick. He was eleven.

Bella came running in through the kitchen. "Yes! I made it." She laughed flopping down next to me. "Hi," she chirped.

I tilted my head at her. "Are you wearing tinted lip gloss?" I asked.

She blushed and tucked her hair behind her ears. "No." she lied. Horrible liar this girl.

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes at her and flopped back into the couch. "Well let's get on with it. Aurora and I were watching A Walk to Remember."

Jasper groaned. "That movie makes you cry."

"At least Landon loved her," I shot back.

"Alice," he said in a warning tone. I raised my eyebrow up at him.

"Alright! Now before the married couple starts fighting again," Rose said cutting in. "The boys have been working on something for you, Alice."

"When I agreed to this you didn't say anything about having to do it in a dress!" Edward whined.

"But hot pink is so your color Love." Bella teased causing Rose, mom and me to snort in laughter.

"Whatever." He pouted. My little brother is the biggest baby. Ever.

"Alright boys, the floor is yours." Rose said sitting on the other side next to me. "Happy birthday," she whispered.

Emmett clapped his hands together and rubbed his hands. "Okay Pixie, I know how much you love Pop music. So we decided to give you a concert for your birthday."

Say what now?

The opening music for Britney Spears' 'You Drive Me Crazy' started playing and a fit of laughter escaped my lips. I quickly slapped my hands over my mouth and watched as the three boys who detested all things Britney, sang and danced to it.

Of course, Emmett the goof, looked like he was having a grand time as he wiggled his hips like Britney. Jasper kept rolling his eyes as he danced while Edward, Mister Ballroom dancer, was tripping worse then Bella.

By the end of the song, us girls were roaring with laughter. I my sides and stomach hurt as tear rolled down my cheeks. But I felt so much better. I needed the laugh. When Jasper turned the radio off. I got up and jumped on his back where I placed a kiss on his neck.

"Thank you for that," I whispered.

He turned his head to look at me and kissed me. "Happy birthday sourpuss."
