After saying goodbye, we left the library to find Jasper and Alice. Emmett was carrying Rosalie on his back, and the two of them would just start giggling randomly, as if just remembering what happened in the library.

"Rosalie, I want you to know that this doesn't mean we have to get married right away." Emmett said turning his head so he could see Rosalie. She smiled down at him,

"I know, Em." She said warmly, he grinned.

"I was thinking after graduation, which give you and Alice a good four years to plan." Emmett said with a laugh, which Rosalie joined in on.

"Sounds good to me." She said, kissing the top of his head. He spun her around in circles a few times, she squealed, and giggled. It was nice to see Rosalie so carefree, in a way that only Emmett could make her.

"Emmett, how long have you been planning this?" I asked when he had stopped spinning

"Well Lil' Sis, I came up with my proposal this afternoon, so before I snuck off, I slipped the ring to Edward so Rosie wouldn't see it. And the ring, I bought two weeks after Rosalie agreed to go out with me." He said with a goofy, love struck smile. Rosalie stopped moving on his back, and her eyes seemed to be watering again.

"Emmett McCarthy Cullen, I love you, I hope you know that." She said so sincerely, I felt as though, by hearing, I was intruding on their personal moment.

"I love you too, Rosie." Emmett said on the most heartfelt voice I had ever heard him use.

"Congratulations guys." Edward said after they had broke out of their own little world.

"Thank you." They said together, which made us all laugh. We were nearly at the common room.

"Okay, so Rose, you ready to tell Alice?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, but I still have no idea how I'm going to tell Jasper." She said, twisting the ring nervously on her finger.

"No need." Emmett said with a smile.

"He knows?!" Rosalie near shouted.

"Of course, as does your father, I asked both of their permission beforehand. I felt it was what I had to do, to ask Jasper, he's your brother and my best friend." Emmett explained. Rosalie just hugged him again and we walked into the common room.

"You found him!" Alice said skipping over to us. Jasper smiled at the two of them. He got up as well and walked over, shaking Emmett's hand. Alice looked between the two of them, then over to Rosalie's still glowing and slightly tear stained face, then down to Rosalie's left hand. We all watched her, waiting for her to put it all together. She screamed and wrapped her arms around Rosalie,

"We're sisters!" She squealed.

"Alice, please don't say that." Jasper begged, plugging his ears. We all laughed, then Alice hugged her brother, as Jasper hugged Rosalie.

"Grandma will certainly be happy." Jasper said, we all continued to laugh,

"But seriously, I'm really happy for you two." Jasper said as he pulled away from Rosalie.

"Oh this summer has been the best summer ever! Everyone's so happy!" Alice exclaimed bouncing up and down. Jasper smiled and pulled her into a hug.

We were walking out to the cars, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were ahead of us. Edward's arm was securely wrapped around my waist, holding me tight to his side.

"Alice was right, this is the best summer ever." He whispered in my ear.

"I know, Rosalie and Emmett seem so happy." I said looking at the ahead of us.

"No, it's the best summer ever because you're here." He said and I felt him smile against my ear. My heart swelled, I wrapped my arms around him and placed a kiss on his cheek.

"I think this is the best summer ever as well." I said with a smile. He grinned and swooped me up into his arms, and we crossed the parking lot over to his car. Where Jasper and Alice were waiting, well not really waiting, so much as severely making out on the trunk of his car.

"Wh-What are you two-off my car get!" Edward said stumbling for words, which I thought was rather hilarious, as did Alice and Jasper. They were laughing as they pulled apart, Jasper helped Alice down from the trunk,

"Come on Edward," She said teasingly, "I know you're better at sentences than that, remember, subject, verb." She said tauntingly, causing Jasper and I burst into peels of laughter.

"Come on Bella, lets go." Edward said, ignoring Alice's quip and carrying me to my side of the car.

"Nun-Un, sorry pal, but Bella's coming with me." Alice said walking over to us.

"No way, I haven't had her all day." Edward complained like a small child as he set me down.

"Oh Edward calm down a few more hours won't hurt." Alice said taking my hand and pulling me away.

"But-" Edward started.

"Butts are for cigarettes Edward, we'll see you tonight." Alice said over her shoulder as we walked to her Porsche. I turned back to blow his a kiss, coupled with an apologetic look. He nodded and got in his car, along with Jasper.

"Jasper's not coming?" I asked surprised.

"No way, first, we still have to find you something to wear, and how in the world do you expect Edward to stay away from the house?" She said as if I were missing the obvious as we climbed into the car.

"Right, so what's Jasper going to do with him?" I asked and she started the car.

"Well, Jasper is taking him out for the afternoon, then they are going to meet Emmett back at Jasper's house to get ready for what Edward thinks is a formal dinner with his family." She explained.

"Oh, well that works."

"Yep, now, we have to somehow manage to get you something to wear, and get you and ourselves ready in the next four hours." She said

"Oh joy." I said sinking lower into my seat.

After a short trip to the mall, well, short by Alice's standards, I found myself sitting alone in Alice's room in nothing but a brand new pair of underwear as I waited for her and Rosalie to finish setting up for their annual Bella Barbie. Finally, they called me in and before they sat me down Rosalie hand me an oversized button down, I took it and sat in the chair they had set out for me. Rosalie started out on my hair as Alice began applying a light layer of foundation to my face. Rosalie straightened it it first, then sprayed it with some product, she parted it into four sections, making the back of my head look much like that of a four paned window, lastly she twisted each section into a tight bun. She stepped out of the room, informing Alice and I that she would be back in ten minutes. Alice continued to work on my eyeshadow.

"You love him don't you?" She said, I opened one eye to see her smiling down at me.

"Alice, I've only known him for a couple of weeks." I said, blushing and looking down. I wanted to scream yes, shout it from the rooftops, but my logical brain told me it was too soon to be love, Alice's tinkling laugh broke me from my thoughts, I looked at her puzzled

"Oh Bella," She said shaking her head, "You think that means something? Bella, did Edward ever tell you about the very first time I saw Jasper?" I shook my head,

"Well, the first time I met Jasper he had accidentally walked into my room, he was looking for Emmett, I of course was in bed, flipping through a catalogue. He was about to apologize and leave when I stopped him. I walked right up to him, looked him dead in the eye and said, 'You've kept me waiting a long time.' To this he said simply, 'I'm sorry ma'am', then I reached out and took his hand and I knew from that moment on that I loved him, and that he loved me. So Bella, when you say that you can't be in love with him because you've only known him for two weeks, I have to laugh at that. Now close." She said, gesturing to my eyes, I did as she said.

"Alice, I really do love him." I said softly, she pulled back for a moment, and she did a very unlike Alice thing, she smiled down at me warmly, before kissing my cheek,

"I know." She said, and I couldn't help grinning like a fool,

"I love him." I said, then I couldn't help the joyous laughter from spilling from my mouth, Alice soon joined in and then like Alice, she jumped up and down clapping her hands, she pulled me out of my chair and we spun around the room like crazy people, before falling from dizziness.

"Oh Alice, I love him." I sighed as we leaned against the tub to catch our breath.

"Doesn't it feel amazing?" She asked. I laughed,

"Yeah, it does." Then came another round of girlish giggling.

Rosalie came back as promised ten minutes after she left. She had on her dress for the party, it was a black, strapless, bubble dress with a sweetheart neckline. The fabric was shiny when under the bright florescent light, and there was a bow sitting just below her breasts on the empire waist line. She looked amazing, and all she had done was put on a dress. She was carrying a thin head band, it was black velvet, with a bow on the side of it. She began to pull out the buns she set in place and let the wave tumble out, then she placed the head band in my hair, pushing it back a little to far, then pulling it forward just enough to hide the black band.

"Perfect." She said with a smile. Alice finished up with my lipstick and we walked out of the bathroom and into Alice's room. Alice went off into her closet to get dressed as Rosalie went back into the bathroom to do her hair and makeup, and my dress was laid out on the bed. I had really liked this one, it was two layers, the bottom was black silk, and the top was black lace, which was an inch shorter than the silk layer. It was empire waisted, but it was very loose, and it flowed out, down to about mid thigh, a little shorter, and there was a scoop neckline. The sleeves were just lace, they hugged my skin, and just went to the elbow. I slipped it on and slid on my shoes, black pumps. I was shaky about agreeing to these at first, but I finally gave into Alice. Once I was fully put together I walked slash hobbled over to the full length mirror. My eyes were slightly smokey, mixed with peach and gold, and my lips were bright red. I loved it, it was perfect, the heel, and the length of the dress made my legs look ten miles long, something I had never imagined possible, and the push up bra Alice had bought had also given me more than the hint of cleavage I thought I had. It was perfect,

"Aaaahhhh! It's totally perfect, I knew it!" Alice squealed, I turned, she was also dressed, hers was strapless with a sweetheart neckline, like Rosalie's, only Alice's was white tiered mesh dress. There was a black ribbon that wrapped around her bust, that tied in the front with a bow. She looked wonderful, and she ran off to do her makeup. Rosalie having done her make up and hair looked beyond beautiful. I suddenly felt inadequate standing with her.

"You look gorgeous, Bella." She said. I smiled, but she didn't see it, she had left the room by then. I took that as a sign that Rosalie was warming up to me, and with a smile on my face I practiced walking around the room. I only fell once, however my tripping record was not as pristine by the time Alice was ready to go downstairs. The entire first floor had been transformed into a hot LA night club. There were strobe lights, a dance floor, and a DJ's booth where the living room had once been, and the dining room had circular tables each wit balloons and confetti.

"Alice." I gasped.

"Now you can see why I forgot to call." She said with a smile and a wink.

I know, i know, you all hate me for leaving you without a single kiss, I know! but I don't want to spill anything, but I fully intend to make it up to you in the next chapter! And yes, my inspiration came from blair waldorf's outfit in season one(EXCEPT THE HEADBAND!- blairs headband was too big for my taste), episode one, I loved the look, so I thought this would be the opportune time to show it off, when I found the dress at nordstroms.
