Preparing for the Ball

Juliette's POV

A/N: okay, so one more chapter unto the ball and the REVENGE on the one we all love to hate....MIKE NEWTON!!! Anyway, I want to give a shout out to: misscullenwannabe95 for sticking with me & being the first to guess what would happen with Julius & Juliette Lanay. I got this idea form ashel-13, so if you want to end up here, just give me a really good idea, and you never know...

All of the dresses mentioned in this story are on my profile

Disclaimer: SMOA!!! But I really do own the McKendricks and Julius XD

I headed out to the Jeep with the girls to find the Cullen and Hale girls.

"Hey, Adeliece, Arabella, Lilly, Vanessa," I greeted them.

"Hi, girls!" bubbled Alice. Alice will be Alice, I thought.

"Are you ready?" asked Rosalie?

"Of course we are, Lilly!" answered Guinevere Shay.

I laughed at Guinevere Shay's exuberance. She has always been just about as quirky as Alice.

"Let's ditch this popsicle stand," I offered. (A/N: I use that a lot when writing.)

They all agreed. So my sisters and I went to the Jeep and the others went to Alice's Porsche.

...

We arrived at my house and went up to my room.

"Woah," said Rosalie. "You have more clothes then Alice! And that's saying something!"

"Thanks, I think. But the reason I have so many clothes is because in here, I keep some of my sister's shorter gowns, and I keep all of our ball gowns."

"Then let's get to it!" said Alice. "Bella, you're first."

"Why me, Alice?" complained Bella.

"Because I said so, that's why!"

"Yes, Ma'am," mumbled Bella.

We all laughed.

"What size are you, Bella?" I asked.

"I'm a three," she answered.

"I think I know just the dress for you." I went into the "dark depths" of my closet and pulled out a midnight blue dress. It was strapless and had silver sparkles on it.

"I think this will do the trick," I told her. "Try it on!"

So she went into the closet. When she came out, all I could see was the future:

Bella stepped into the room and Edward turned around and gasped. She's gorgeous, he would think. Then the night would go on, but not without a few lusty human boys, but nonetheless, all Edward would think about was how radiant she is in that dress.

"It's perfect," Alice and I said together. Then we looked at each other and smiled, knowing that we had just had the same vision.

"Rose, you're next," I told her.

"I'm a size four," she told me.

"I'll be right back. But in the book, Twilight, it said that at prom, you had a red halter dress. Is that true?"

"Yes, it is," she said.

"I know it won't be the same, but would you wear another red halter dress?"

"Of course, Juliette Lanay, I don't mind at all."

"Okay," I said and I walked into the closet and brought out a red halter gown.

She took it and went into the closet. When she came out, even I felt my self-esteem get lower, and, not to sound arrogant, normally I am the one who does it. But now that I think about it, I like not always having to be the best.

"How do I look?" asked Rose.

"Amazing," we all answered in unison.

"Next, Alice," I said.

"I'm a zero," she said.

I thought of the dress.

"Wait for it," everyone said.

"I love it!" she squealed, seeing it in the future.

I walked into the closet and gave it to her. It was a blue halter with a ring in the bust.

She looked stunning.

"Alice, I think that makes you look taller," said Rose. "Or maybe it's the platforms you're wearing."

We all laughed.

"Ness, you're next."

"I'm the same as Alice," she said.

Then I went into the closet and got out a strapless white ball gown with corset-like bodice with pink, satin ribbons tied up it. The ribbon trailed down to the skirt of the dress, too.

"Ooh, Nessie, Jake won't be able to keep his eyes off of you," teased Alice. Everyone laughed, including Bella. That shocked me.

"Okay, so I guess I'll go try my dress on now," I said.

I went into the closet and put on my dress. It was a dark turquoise low-cut halter with strips "connecting" the halter.

I stepped out and everyone gasped.

"Oh my gosh! You look stunning!" was on the lines of what they all said.

"Thank you," I said, looking down.

"You make my self esteem go down," said Rose, laughing.

Everyone stared laughing, too.

"Okay, so the last two are Nicolette Oriana and Guinevere Shay," I said. They knew what to do. They went in, changed and walked out.

Nicolette Oriana had a pink strapless dress with sparkles, and Guinevere Shay had a similar one, in baby blue, but she had a sash at the waist.

"You guys look gorgeous," said Renesmee. Everyone nodded on agreement.

"Thank you," they said.

"Now I think it's time for...hair and makeup!" said Alice. "I'll do makeup, and Rose will do hair."

"May I help?" I asked.

"Hmm, sure!" said Alice. You can help me.

"Okay," I said.

So we went to the vanity (all of the girls brought theirs up) and we used two for makeup, and one for hair.

"Bella, who would you like to do your makeup?" I asked.

"Would you mind?" she asked me.

"No, not at all," I replied.

"Okay, Nicolette Oriana would you like me to do your makeup?" asked Alice.

"Sure," she said.

So the two girls sat down and we got to work.

A vampire putting on makeup is quite fast – since we move so quickly. I finished with Bella first and sent her over to Rosalie. By the time Alice was done, so was Rose.

I called Nessie over next. I did her makeup according to her dress – light colors. When I had finished, I sent her over to Rosalie.

Alice had called over Guinevere Shay, so I waited until she was done.

"Okay, Juliette Lanay, you're next," Alice told me once both she and Rose were finished.

I rolled my eyes, but sat down. Alice did my makeup and Rose did my hair.

Then once they were done, Alice sat down and I took her place. Then lastly, Rose sat down and Alice took her place.

...

This is how hair and makeup was done:

Bella:

Makeup – smoky

Hair – up do

Nicolette Oriana:

Makeup – light pink-based

Hair – ringlets, down

Renesmee:

Makeup – light colored

Hair – half-up with diamond barrettes.

Guinevere

Shay: Makeup – light blue-based

Hair – wavy, side ponytail

Juliette Lanay:

Makeup – light smoky

Hair – curled, braid-hair band (I'll show a pic – don't fret, my loverlies)

Alice:

Makeup – turquoise-based

Hair – pin-curls (A/N: like in BD on the wedding day)

Rosalie:

Makeup – red-based

Hair – French twist

...

"Okay, why do I feel like we're forgetting something," said Bella.

"Because we are," said Alice.

"Which is?" asked Nessie.

"Cue music," said Alice. And the minute the song came on, everyone screamed:

"SHOES!" (A/N: haha – I thought it was good...so cue...SHOES!)

Everyone started to sing it. It was a really weird song, but hilarious at the same time.

So, Guinevere Shay levitated the shoes out to us.

...

This is the type of shoe each girl got:

Bella:

Sparkly silver peep-toe pumps

Nicolette Oriana:

Silver stilettos

Renesmee:

Ballerina high heels

Guinevere Shay:

Light blue pumps

Juliette Lanay:

Silver stilettos

Alice:

Blue Pumps

Rosalie:

Silver wedges

(A/N: Please keep in mind that even thought they will be dancing, they are vampires...well, most are, and they don't trip! That is all)

...

We all looked in the mirrors.

"We," – Alice.

"Look," – Rosalie.

"AMAZING!" – Both of them.

"Girls," called Estelle Enid. "Are you ready? Your rides are here."

"Coming, Mom," my sisters and I said.

"Coming, Mrs. McKendrick," the Cullens yelled.

Then we went down the stairs to our dates.

A/N: I'm so sorry this took so long, I had terrible writers block! But please, R&R!!!!

LOL, (lots of love)
