A/N: Here's the next chapter. Shout out to LindaSweet91 for threatening me to update and being the only one to review last chapter. It was much appreciated. Oh and I actually know what is going to happen in this story now. I have a plan so that should make things easier.

"Alice" I whined "Why do people never tell me anything? I was never confused before out met you people!" "Oh you know you love us" Alice replied smiling smugly "Besides I have a present for you. And you promised Rose and me that we would go shopping today!" "Oh yeah" I said unhappily "Wait a present? What could possibly have gotten me? And why?" "I will give it to you when we get to your room" Alice said smiling which then turned into a pout "And why do I need a reason to give a present to my best friend?"

I was about to reply when Alice's face went blank and she stopped walking. She came to and was fuming. "I really hate Tanya!" she hissed menacingly "You go to your room. I have something to take care of." "No way!" I said excitedly "If you are doing something to Tanya then I want to watch!" Alice scowled at me and crossed her arms over her chest. "What?" I asked worried by her expression. "You get excited about a confrontation against Tanya and her evilness but not shopping!" Alice shouted indignantly. I shrugged sheepishly. Alice huffed and grabbed my arm again. She started pulling me through the hallways muttering obscenities about Tanya. I smiled happily at that. I really didn't like that girl.

Alice pulled me down one last hallway and I saw a flash of strawberry blonde curls turning the other corner. Alice let go of me and started running at a human pace. I jogged after her to keep up. "Tanya!" she shouted angrily. Tanya froze in the middle of the hallway and turned around. When she spotted me and Alice she scowled. "Oh it's you two" she sneered glaring at us. "Yeah us two" Alice said icily "Honestly, you need to get over your obsession with my brother! He. Does. Not. Want. You! He has Bella! You can not blackmail him into being with you! If you even attempt to talk to him again I will make sure that your life is an unliving hell! Besides, Edward has made up his mind that he does not care whether or not you tell the Volturi." "You're lying" Tanya seethed "He loves me. Not that little b-"

"Don't finish that sentence Tanya" Edward's velvety voice said menacingly from behind me. I looked over and saw a sheer anger written all over his face. He walked over and wrapped an arm around my waist. Tanya's face looked heartbroken. "Edward how could you?" she asked looking like she would cry if she could "We were great together." "We were never together Tanya" Edward said exasperatedly "And Alice is right. I love Bella not you. I don't care whether or not you tell the Volturi. You hold no power over me anymore." Tanya screamed in frustration and stormed down the hallway in the direction that Jess and Lauren were coming from.

"What was that all about?" Jess asked curiously, excitement in her eyes. I could tell that Edward and Alice were still tense. I looked over at Alice pointedly and she became relaxed. I felt Edward relax behind me as well. "Oh nothing" Alice sang smiling "Tanya just has some mental issues she has to work out. She hates it when people call her on it." I held back the giggles that were trying to force their way out of my mouth. I looked up at Edward and saw his eyes dancing with mirth.

Jess and Lauren's mouths were hanging open. "Really?" Jess asked incredulous. "Oh you mean you didn't know?" Alice asked with a look of consternation on her face "Oh well. In that case, no, not really. I was just kidding." Alice laughed nervously and Jess seemed unconvinced. "Alright" Jess said agreeably "We'll just be on our way then." Lauren and Jess quickly scurried off down the hall whispering furiously to each other. From what I got of it they were trying to figure out what kind of mental issue that Tanya had.

When we knew they were out of ear shot, all three of us burst into laughter. Alice was the first to recover and she danced over to me smiling brightly. She pulled me from Edward's grip and started dragging me away. "Wait Alice" I whined "Can't I at least say bye to Edward." Alice sighed exaggeratedly and waved for me to continue. "Thanks Alice" I said happily giving her a hug. She seemed pleased with that. I ran over to Edward and jumped into his open arms. He placed a gentle kiss on my lips and I pouted. Edward just smiled at me. I went to turn away but he grabbed me and crashed his lips to mine. His tongue darted out to my lips and I was just about to open my mouth to him when I found I was going backwards.

"That's enough love birds" Alice said irritated dragging me along behind her "I want to go shopping now!" I crossed my arms over my chest and started muttering profanities under my breath. Edward just laughed and waved. I scowled at him realizing he probably knew this was coming. Alice kept dragging me all the way to my room. She pushed me over to my bed and started rummaging through my closet.

After a few minutes, she pulled out and emerald green shirt with a black swirling pattern on it and a pair of True Religion jeans. She also grabbed some emerald green converse and threw them all at me. I quickly put them on and Alice stood staring at me for a moment. She sighed and walked over to my nightstand. "We don't have time to do anything else to your hair" she said unhappily "So just putting this in with your hair how it is will have to do. Rose is probably wondering where we are right now." She placed an emerald green headband on my head and started to walk towards my door.

I started to follow but she suddenly gasped and turned around. "I almost forgot" she squealed "I need to give you your present." "Alice" I groaned. "Oh you will thank me later" she said smirking. Then she bounded over to me and shoved an envelope in my hand. She sank gracefully down onto my bad and stared at me intently. She was bouncing up and down again."What is this?" I asked confused. "Open it and find out" Alice sang excitedly. I looked at her for a moment and carefully opened the envelope. I shook the contents out onto my hand and saw that it was a bunch of pictures. I looked at them and realized they were pictures of the dance. I started looking through and found some really goofy pictures of my friends.

I found one with Alice dripping wet with punch glaring murderously at Emmett while Rose and Jasper just laughed. I also found one of Alice on Emmett's back trying to wrap her small fingers around Emmett's throat. Then there was one of Jasper holding Alice by the waist while she tried to go after Emmett who was just smirking at her. The next one showed Rose scolding Emmett and him smiling sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

The next one I found was the picture that Rose took when I was not ready. It actually didn't look all that bad. It showed the mirror with all of our reflections in it. Rose was standing right behind me with the camera smiling happily. Alice was looking over my right shoulder smiling brightly. I was sitting in the middle smiling excitedly at my reflection, pleased that I looked stunning even next to those two beauties.

The next few I found were really cute. There was one of Rose and Emmett dancing. They had their arms wrapped around each other and were gazing into each others eyes lovingly. Then there was one of Alice and Jasper dancing. Alice was standing on his feet giggling and he was just smiling at her lovingly. I gasped at the next one I saw. It was of Edward and me dancing. I was resting my head on his shoulder with my eyes closed and a happy smile on my face. Edward had his face buried in my hair and you could see the happiness in his eyes. The both of us were just radiating happiness.

I rushed over and hugged Alice tightly. She hugged me back giggling. "I told you that you would thank me later" she teased "Now you see that I wasn't kidding." "You really weren't" I said smiling hugely "I love it Alice. Thank you so much." "Everybody has copies of the pictures" Alice said smiling "While you two were out in that meadow of his I was sneaking out to go and get these." "You snuck out?" I asked curiously. "Okay so more like I got permission from the vamp in the office" she said rolling her eyes "Now come on. It's time to go shopping already!" She grabbed the pictures from my hand and quickly placed them back in the envelope before placing them on my bed. Then she grabbed my wrist and started dragging me out the door.

Alice kept dragging me along until we reached Rosalie's convertible. Rose was standing next to it tapping her foot impatiently. When she saw us she huffed. "What took you guys so long?" she asked annoyed. "Well we had to sort Tanya out and then the love birds wouldn't stop making out with each other" Alice replied rolling her eyes in my direction "Then I needed to get Bella dressed for shopping. Plus, I had to give Bella her gift." "Both of you need to spill" Rose said excitedly.

We all got in the car and frowned at the idea of shopping. Rose started driving as Alice started telling her what happened from the time she came and collected me to right now. I completely ignored them just watching the passing scenery. After awhile I just sighed and listened to Alice's chatter putting my two cents in when I felt the need.

Rose started laughing when she found out that we told the gossip queen that Tanya had mental problems. It quickly turned sour. "I wish I was there" Rose said unhappily. Alice just shrugged and looked at me expectantly. "Your turn" she chirped. We spent the rest of the car ride to the mall with me telling them what happened from the time that Edward picked me up for the dance to the time where Alice collected me. "Aww" Alice cooed "You guys are so cute!" "Finally Edward has somebody" Rose said exasperated "He was always such a sour puss before."

We pulled into the mall parking lot and I felt my good mood draining away again. Rose and Alice both got out of the car and waited for me expectantly. When I made no move to get out, they both frowned at me. "Bella you promised" Alice pouted. I groaned now being able to resist Alice's pout and stepped out of the car. They both hooked their arms through mine and started dragging my through the mall.

"I wasn't even aware of what store I was being dragged into but Alice and Rose immediately started shoving an assortment of things at me. Once they saw that my arms were full they pushed me into a dressing room and told me to try them on. I started muttering to myself about how ridiculous this all is. Alice had me come out after I tried on every outfit and decided whether we should buy it or not. She grabbed all the stuff from me and headed over to the cashier. I followed behind her scowling.

"Wait here" she commanded before walking away to go and look for stuff for herself. I sighed, standing in the middle of a circle of bags. I scowled and crossed my arms over my chest. I heard someone laugh and turned around to see that it was a beautiful vampire with fiery orange hair and the same butterscotch eyes as I had. She had a wildness about her. I stared at her curiously. "You look miserable" she said smiling "I am guessing that you are not here of your own free will either?" "Not in the least" I groaned then realized what else she had said. "Wait you don't want to be here either" I said excitedly "I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be shopping?" "Nope" she said laughing "My mate forced me to come here. What about you?" "My best friend" I said grimacing.

"Bella" rang a voice behind me. She skipped up and looked at the woman curiously. "Who's this?" she inquired suspiciously. "My name is Victoria" she answered smiling politely. "Oh and I'm Bella" I mentioned sheepishly. "I'm Alice" Alice said still suspicious but she stuck out her hand anyway. "Nice to meet you" Victoria answered. "Would you like to join us?" Alice asked curiously. "Sure" Victoria answered smiling "That would be great because my mate just sort of dropped me off here and told me to stay." "Wonderful" Alice said smiling brightly.

For the rest of the day, Alice dragged us from store to store repeating the same process as the first one. We had to get some of the employees to help us carry all our bags to the car! I don't even know how all those bags fit in there! We said goodbye to Victoria and headed back to the school. I promised Victoria that we could hang out sometime soon and gave her my cell phone number. She promised to call me.

We pulled up to the school with 15 minutes until curfew. "Bella do not touch any of the bags" Bella commanded "We will put your stuff away for you." "Why?" I asked confused. "Because" Alice said like it was obvious "We are the ones that dress you so we are the ones that need to know where your stuff is." "Oh" I said. "First we need to get you dressed for the vampire lounge" Alice said appraising me "Edward is waiting for you in the piano room." "Okay" I said excitedly wanting to see him again. Then I remembered how mean he was earlier and decided I would not greet him the way I had originally planned to. Alice gave me a funny look. Then realization dawned on her face and she smiled. "You're right" she agreed "He did see it coming. He was just doing it to be mean."

She started rifling through the bags and pulled out a black silk dress and black strappy heels. She commanded for me to walk over to her and pulled the headband out of my hair. She then proceeded to pull all my hair into a black clip with swirly patterns all over it. She took out a black pendant and clipped it around my neck. She checked to make sure I still had the Tiffany bracelet on and handed me the outfit. "Go put this on" she ordered before pushing me in the general direction of my room.

I rushed to my room and quickly changed before rushing out again. I was almost to the lounge when someone grabbed me from behind and pulled me through a door. I turned to be faced with a furious Tanya. "You are going to pay" she growled "Edward was mine and you stole him. You will pay. I will make sure of it."

She lunged at me and I quickly dodged causing her to slam into the door with a bang. I grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her away from the door. She whipped around to snap at me but I dodged again. She tried turning the other way and I took the opportunity to jump onto her back. I wrapped my legs around her waist and kept my grip on her hair successfully pulling her down onto the floor. I moved so that I was straddling her and pinning her arms to her sides. She tried to snap up at me again and missed. "Now" I whispered as sweetly as I could "I would like to explain the situation to you. You see, Edward has never loved you" she took this time to spit in my face "Nor will he ever love you. He loves me." She took this time to call me a few choice words. "Now I think it would be best if you left all of us alone" I continued "You don't even want to know what Alice will do to you if she finds out. Now I am going to let you up and we are both going to go our separate ways. Agreed?" She growled in response. "Or we can sit here and wait for Alice to show up" I said indifferently, shrugging. Fear flashed through her eyes before she looked down. "Agreed" she muttered defeated. " Good" I said getting off of her slowly and cautiously. She scowled at me before stalking out of the room. I rushed towards the lounge.

When I got there I saw that Emmett, Jasper, Rose, and Alice were standing by the bar. "You go girl" Rose cheered. "Way to kick butt!" Emmett said pumping his fist in the air. "Nice job Bella" Jasper said smiling slightly. Alice squealed and ran over to give me a tight hug. "That was so awesome Bella" she praised. "Thanks guys" I said smiling proudly. "Now you should go see Edward" she told me sternly. She checked my hair real quick and pushed me towards the door that led to the hallways.

I started walking down remembering the last time that I was down here and shaking my head. Then I realized that I didn't remember where that piano room was. I heard an enchanting melody and started drifting in that direction mystified.

A/N: Does anyone know what that is? Lol. Next chapter the beginning will be cute but then they are going to get some bad news. Hope you enjoyed. Drop a review if you want to.
