A/N: This ch. is also Nessie POV. Next ch. will return to Bella POV. Enjoy and please review :)

I can't wait! We are almost at Emily's house. Daddy stopped at a gas station a few minutes ago and made me get in my car seat. Ugh, I hate this thing. It makes me feel confined and like a baby. I am not going to get hurt even if we did get in a car crash, which is impossible with Daddy's vampire reflexes combined with his mind reading. Surprisingly, it wasn't raining in Forks today. It is raining here though, but that's okay. I like rain, to an extent. It sounds pretty. Momma and Daddy are going on a date while I am at Emily's, but they said to call if I need them. Emily and I are going to have so much fun!

"Nessie, that's her house," Daddy said pointing at a white house with some steps leading up to the front porch that was at the end of the street.

"Yay! We're almost there," I said. I'm very excited.

"Now Nessie, remember to be polite and say yes ma'am and no ma'am. If they offer you human food, you need to eat some of it. If you get too thirsty or need anything call us. Don't say anything too extremely advanced for your age. Be nice, and have fun," Momma told me.

"Yes ma'am. I will," I told her. She tells me this every time we go somewhere, but Daddy says she's just being over protective because that's what moms do. Uncle Emmett said it's because she always worries too much, even when she was a human. I think it's a combination of both.

"Nessie, we're here," Daddy said as he got out of the car and opened mine and Momma's doors. We walked up and I knocked on the door, but not too hard. The door opened and Emily was standing in the doorway dressed in skinny jeans, a purple flowy vintage top, and purple high tops.

"Nessie, you're here!" she exclaimed as she hugged me. It's a good thing I had some donated blood this morning. Daddy said I really should start trying to drink only animal blood, but today it is okay because it will help quench my thirst more. "Mommy, Daddy, Nessie and her parents are here," Emily called into the house. Her parents walked up with a little toddler behind them.

"Bella, Edward thanks for bringing Nessie over. Emily is so excited. Nessie," Emily's mom said me, "you two can go play."

"Bye Nessie," Momma said hugging me. Be good for Mr. and Mrs. Williams." Those are Emily's parents. That's so cool; she has the same last name as the lead singer of Paramore!

"Yes ma'am. Bye Momma," I said and then went to hug Daddy.

"Have fun Nessie. We'll pick you up at two," he said. "I love you."

"I love you too Daddy. I'll see you soon," I said smiling at him.

"Come on," Emily said dragging me down the hallway after Momma and Daddy left. "This is my room." Emily's room is light blue. She has a mirror on part of one wall with a bar for practicing ballet. She also has a bookshelf with tons of books.

"Emily your room is awesome!" I exclaimed.

"Thanks Nessie," she said smiling.

Then her mom came to the door and asked, "What do you girls want for lunch?"

"Can we have grilled cheese, Mom?" Emily asked.

"Is that okay with you Nessie?" Emily's mom asked me.

"Um, sure. That's fine with me," I said smiling at her. I really don't know why someone would want to eat cheese that has been grilled, but I'll try it like Momma said to.

"So, Nessie do you want to listen to some music?" Emily asked me.

"Sure! Do you have Brand New Eyes? I haven't gotten it yet, and I'd really like to listen to it," I told Emily as she was rummaging through a box of CDs.

"Yeah, it's in here somewhere," Emily said as she kept digging. "Ah hah!" she exclaimed pulling out the CD. She popped open the case, put the CD in her CD player, and hit the shuffle button on the remote.

"So you have a little sister?" I asked as Emily and I sat down on her bed.

"Yeah, her name is Brooke," Emily told me. "She's four, so she just started dance classes this year."

"Oh that's cool. So what do you want to do while we listen to music?" Emily thought about it for a moment after I asked.

"Let's make a music video! We can dress up in awesome costumes and dance! First we just have to pick a song. Do you want to?" Emily asked me.

"That sounds awesome! We can sing along too! Do you want to do 'When it Rains' on Riot?" I asked her. That is one of my favorite songs, and it is very apropos considering where we live and how much it rains. Apropos is another vocab word Momma taught me!

"Awesome! Let's pick out some costumes! I have some in my drawer and closet," Emily said as she pulled open the bottom drawer on her dresser. "Let's dress in blues and greys like rain," Emily suggested as she started digging through the drawer.

"Okay." Oh she has some cool costumes in her closet. I was flipping through them when I found one with a light blue velvety looking top with silver straps and accents. The skirt is made of long pieces of soft tulle in different shades of blue. It's beautiful! "Oh, Emily can I wear this?" I asked her holding it up.

"Yeah Nessie, that was my ballet costume last year. I think it will fit you though," she said as she kept digging through her drawers. I took off my clothes and pulled the costume on.

"What do you think Emily?" I asked my new friend.

"Oh that looks great!" she said smiling at me. "Here, put these on under it," she said tossing me a pair of light grey skinny jeans. Oh this is going to look awesome! I pulled them on. Then I saw some dark blue high tops in the bottom of her closet.

"Can I wear these?" I asked her dangling them in front of her face.

"Yup, as long as they are the right size," she said smiling. I checked the bottom, and they are the same size as my converse, so I pulled them on.

"Oh Nessie, you look awesome! What do you think of this?" she asked holding up a silvery tutu, a pale blue V-neck t-shirt, and some black converse boots that lace up to your knees.

"Oh Emily, that would look fabulous," I told her very truthfully.

"Okay, thanks Nessie," she said as she changed into her costume. She left her skinny jeans on under the tutu. Then she put on a silver bracelet. "Ooh, can I put this in your hair?" Emily asked holding up a long silver ribbon.

"Sure! You look great by the way," I told her smiling. Emily walked behind me and tied the ribbon around my head finishing in a knot under my braid a little to the side. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. Wow! This outfit is awesome, and the ribbon is the perfect finishing touch.

"Emily, you are a genius! Can I do your hair?"

"Sure Nessie. Here's my hair stuff," she said handing me a brush and a box with scrunchies, barrettes, ribbons and other hair accessories. I brushed Emily's soft brown hair. Then I did a side French braid that turned into a side pony tail.

"Do you hair a curling iron?" I asked.

"My mom has one, but I'm not allowed to use it without her help. She doesn't want me to burn myself," she explained.

"Oh, okay. That's fine," I said as I picked up a shimmery blue ribbon. I tied it in a bow at the top of her pony tail. "Okay, I'm done," I said smiling.

"Ooh Nessie, it looks amazing! Who taught you to braid like that?" she asked.

"My Aunt Rosalie," I said smiling. "She is the best with hair! She and my Aunt Alice, and my Grandma are going to be at my sleepover!"

"Cool! Now let's make up a dance and then have my mom record it!" Emily exclaimed. We spent about a half hour making up an awesome dance. We also decided to have some just singing parts. We got out the microphones from Emily's karaoke machine to use in the video. We decided to do the video on her screened in porch. That way, we could have rain in the background, but not get wet. Her mom and dad helped us move the furniture on the porch out of the way. Then, we got in place and her mom recorded. When we finished, we put the furniture back and went inside to see our music video on her computer. It is really awesome!

"Emily, we should show it at the sleepover!" I told her sharing my brilliant idea. "Can you e-mail it to me?"

"That's a great idea Nessie! What's your e-mail address?" After exchanging e-mail addresses, we went back up to Emily's room and changed back into our regular clothes. We listened to some more music on Brand New Eyes and just talked for a little until Momma and Daddy came to pick me up. Ding dong! I heard the doorbell.

"Nessie, your parents are here," Mrs. Williams called. I grabbed my iPod, stuffed it into my bag, and Emily and I walked to the door.

"Momma! Daddy!" I exclaimed as I ran up to hug them.

"Did you have a good time Nessie?" Daddy asked me.

"Yeah Daddy it was awesome!"

"I'm glad you had fun Nessie, but we need to go home now," Momma told me.

"Okay Momma. Mrs. Williams, thank you for letting me come. Emily, I had a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting me!" I said smiling as I hugged Emily goodbye.

"Oh she is so polite," I heard Mrs. Williams whisper to Momma and Daddy. "It was a pleasure to have you Nessie," she said to me.

"Bye Nessie!" Emily said. "I'll see you at the sleepover!"

"Bye," I called as I climbed into the car. Sadly, I have to sit in my stupid car seat until we get to the gas station. Once we got there, Daddy put my car seat back into the trunk.

"Momma, Daddy what did you do while I was at Emily's?"

"We went to our meadow," Momma told me. She and Daddy have a special meadow that they used to go to when Momma was still human. It's really pretty. They have taken me there a few times. I told them all about what Emily and I did on the way home, while they sat up front holding hands. They really love each other and me too, I thought smiling.
