As it seems, I've created two new pairs! You might see it in this chapter. ;) I think you'll like it. I can already see them going at it at first but you'll grow to love 'em and accept them! (I hope)

Chapter 10 - Meeting You

Bella's POV

JULY 31ST

"Awe, Bellsy. Why can't you stay a little while longer?" Emmett pouted.

"Emmiebear, you know I start school next week. I need time to recover from the serious jetlag. Look at the brightside, you have another month to enjoy!" I tried to sound excited for him.

"That sucks and you know it. Especially since my baby sis won't be here!" He pretended to cry and Alice stifled a laugh.

"I second that!" Jasper inputted, "I'm just not going to cry in public like Emmett here."

"In public?" I raised a brow in question.

"When you left for Italy the first time, Emmett called me over because Jasper was curled up in a ball under your covers crying." Alice said, frowning at the memory. My eyes welled up at hearing that. I glanced up at my twin and saw his eyes were just as glassy as mine. Twin telepathy.

He spoke shakilly, "It's true. I couldn't see anything. Everything was blurry and Ali was a black blob of energy trying to cheer me up."

"Jaspy." I cooed as I walked over to hug him. He opened his arms and tucked me close to him. "Mi mancherai, sis. Ma non e addio per sempre, giusto? Ci vediamo presto. (I'm going to miss you, sis. But it's not goodbye forever, right? I'll see you soon.)" He murmured into my hair as he took the air out of my lungs by crushing me to him.

"A presto, Jasper. Promessa. (See you soon, Jasper. Promise.)"

Alice had me blindfolded against my will while she rummaged through my closet, picking out a perfect outfit for tonight's festivities. Her words, not mine. All I knew was that we were all going to Port Angeles. Alec, Alice, Emmett, Jasper and myself, that is. Dad had to work, sadly. He said he'd call me later tonight since he felt he wouldn't have time to drive me to the airport. Alec had mentioned his sister and some of her friends flew in yesterday to bring us back to Italy so he and I could fly safely back home. Of course Dad agreed since Alec's sister's friends were old enough to drive in this country and Alec was my Dad's new BFF. Kind of weird but at least he likes my boyfriend!

"Finally! You did pack a dress! And it's PERFECT for tonight!" Alice squealed.

"Wait, I didn't pack a dress." I said suddenly. I know Alec wouldn't do it. Alice just said she found it in my bag so she obviously couldn't have bought it and put it in within the last few hours. Then it dawned on me. Jane. Heidi's a possible suspect as well but her dress choice would be far more sexy and temptress-like whereas Jane would pick something more feminine and girly and hopefully less seductive.

"You must have. And you packed a gorgeous pair of stilettos! Oh, and flats! You have to try both on, though." Alice said with a hint of a demand in her voice.

"Do I get to do my own makeup?" I asked hesitantly.

"Nope!" She anwered without missing a beat. Oh boy, this could take a while...

Alice turned out to be one of those cosmetologists who talks a lot to her cliente. Not that I minded but I think my brain might be slowly frying from all this information. Heidi and Jane know my limit but Alice is lecturing me about the different types of eye liners, mascara, eye shadow, lip gloss, lipstick, lipstain, rouge, blush, bronzer, cover up, concealer. So. Much. Makeup!

"Okay so now I'm putting on this eyeshadow that has just a pinch of glitter added to it. It's a golden color that will make your brown eyes stand out more. I've already put brown eyeliner on your water lines. Now that the gold is done, I'm putting on a warm brown that's just a shade lighter than your eye color. After I blend it with my finger, I'm adding a darker brown and I'll blend that too. Open your eyes now." She would order and I, being the wonderful Bella Barbie that I am, followed her orders. Otherwise she might accidentally poke me in the eye with whatever tool of destruction - I mean, makeup utensil she's using.

She held up a lip stain that was almost the same color of a pale pink rose, just a shade or two lighter. "This should stay on until you wash your face. Even then, you might have to scrub your lips to get it off. That's how amazing it is." I nodded as she put the stain on my lips. She made a popping noise with her lips and I mimicked.

"Now Alec's going to be drooling over you." Alice smirked. "I love your natural curls so the only think I'll be doing is putting a pale pink rose in it. Get dressed now though because I need to slip on my dress too."

As soon as Alice left the room, I saw the dress Jane had left me. It had a scoopneck and ruffled short sleeves. The top talf was light pink lace that appeared to be tucked into a black skirt but really, it was a dress. I put it on and zipped up the side then slipped on the black ballet flats Alice has left next to my bag. Comfort beat stilettos any day. After I was all ready, I walked down into the living room where I found Alec talking animatedly with Jane. Paying her no mind, I snuggled into Alec's lap and told him I loved him. Then my head shot up as I looked toward Jane.

"Janie!" I yelled and jumped into her lap.

"Bella!" She chuckled. "Missed you too, kiddo."

"Not a kid!" I pouted.

"Hey, Bella! Just waiting on Emm now! We all know he takes longer than all of us combined." Alice giggled. Then she noticed Jane. "Oh! You must be Alec's sister. I'm Alice, Jasper's girlfriend and Bell's bestfriend."

"Nice to meet you, Alice. I'm Jane, another of Bella's besties." Jane smiled sweetly.

"Wow, you and Alec look a lot a like. Maybe it's the eyes but it's there. I'm Jasper, Bella's twin brother." Jasper said in his gentlemanly manner. Jane giggled out a "Likewise" and shook her head.

"Are you party people pumped?" Emmett yelled from upstairs.

"We've been ready for over an hour, Emm." I chuckled and rolled my eyes.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." He said as he thumped down the stairs. "The life of the p-" He stopped abruptly when he caught sight of Jane.

"Um. Hi. I'm, uh. Emmett Swan." He studdered.

"McCarther." Jasper edited.

"Oh yeah. I'm Emmett McCarther." He smiled sheepishly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jane Volturi. Alec's twin." Jane smiled shyly.

Could they be feeling what I felt for Alec when we first met? Maybe they were going to work out somehow like Alec and I. I sure hope so. I'd rather Emmett be with Jane than with the Ice Queen that is Rosalie.

Alice leaned over to whisper, "They're in love."

Maybe Aro would let us visit real soon.

Second chapter of the promised five, woo! I'm thinking of using another one of those for another outtake. Some of our lovely vampires * cough Jane, Dem, Felix, Heidi cough * haven't had a chance to show Edward and Rosalie what it's like to be bullied..

If you don't want that, I understand. I'll keep it alllll to myself. ;)

You guys are awesome! Keep reading and reviewing to add to your ultimate awesomeness!

Arrivederci,

Tiffany
