Epilogue - An Occasion ;0)

After returning to Forks things quickly got back to normal, the only real difference was Bella was even slower than normal. There were no real boundaries between any of us anymore, since the debacle in Phoenix. Rosalie had even held her tongue about Bella sitting with us at lunch. I was sure it was because she was getting ready to graduate for the umpteenth time.

It was hard for Bella to leave her mother again but Renee was able to let go easier this time knowing Bella had friends in Forks. Renee was a better mother than I had given her credit for, she flitter around Bella like a hummingbird glad for the opportunity to look after her for once.

Renee had approached me before I left for home, and asked me about Bella and Edward's relationship. I had expected it after she had made the decision to pull me aside and I had given Bella the chance to answer the question through me. Bella had simply asked me to make it sound like any other teenage romance, not that I was even sure what that meant.

I had told Renee that Edward, my brother, was in love with Bella, but they were taking it slowly and not rushing into anything. Renee seemed satisfied and showed her gratitude with a huge hug. Bella had also shown her gratitude in the same manner, although as always, she was more concerned about me and my discovery than herself.

Bella and I had discussed at length what I had discovered on that tape and she was surprised at how blase I was about the whole thing. I knew that I must of had a family at some point but this was just confirmation that I was in no rush to find out who they were. Although, we had pondered for many hours over who my savior could have been.

Jasper had done some research on the internet but had come up with very little. I knew that I would have more time to really throw some time and effort into it after I graduated next year. Another college career really held no interest for me.

Edward was still planning on taking Bella to the prom and had reiterated that it was a surprise on several occasions. I was still trying to convince Rosalie to help me get Bella ready, I was hoping it would bridge some of the gap that was between them.

"Well, Rose, what do you say?" I asked smiling at my sister wickedly.

"Fine, whatever, Alice." She sighed and got up. I knew she was fighting it, but I also knew she wanted to do it. Make up was Rose's form of art. And although she hadn't made much progress with Bella, I knew she wouldn't be able to resist a make over.

"But I'm doing it for Edward's enjoyment, lets set that straight right now." she called over her shoulder at me.

"Of course." I rolled my eyes and grinned at Edward who was sat awestruck. He'd tried to talk me out of asking Rose for help. He knew she still wasn't comfortable with the situation, so he insisted on trying pacify the two of them.

"It's a girl thing, Edward." I said pulling him off the couch. I was helping him plan the perfect night with Bella. She had no idea she was even going to the prom, so we had our work cut out for us.

"What time are you bringing her over?" I asked as I mentally made a checklist of everything I had to get organized before she arrived.

"Well, it starts at seven, I think, so probably three."

" I don't think so Edward, that's not enough time. I know you told Charlie what's going on, can't you kidnap her a little earlier? I need time to work my magic."

Edward shook his head and laughed. "How much earlier?"

"Twelve?"

"Alice, that's almost the entire day, why would you need her for seven hours?"

"Edward, I'm a girl, she's a girl, we're going to do girlie things. Like manicures, pedicures, facials. . ."

Edward put up his hand to stop me from talking, he was wearing a mock look of disgust, so I decided to turn on my pout so I could get my own way. It didn't take long.

"Fine," he sighed shaking his head in disbelief.

"Good, you better get going, ,she'll be waking up in about forty five minutes and I know you like to be there when she wakes up."

Edward kissed me on the top of the head and bounded out of the house. He normally didn't leave Bella during the night but planning the prom surprise had been his exception. He needed to talk to us alone and I knew that he hated being apart from Bella during her waking hours, so it was our only option.

Jasper's arms wrapped around my waist and he kissed my neck gently, "I saw that dress of yours Alice Cullen, it's criminal."

"It's a good job I have an amazing, handsome, strong, sexy and protective dance partner, need I go on?"

"Oh stop, please if I could blush I would be." he laughed into my hair and spun me around to kiss me. I kissed him deeply indulging myself with his passionate embrace, before I reluctantly broke away.

"I'm sorry, I really have so much to do." I laughed at his mischievous grin.

He leaned in close to me, I could feel his soft breath at my ear. "Tonight then."

I grinned unbearably wide, I couldn't help myself, I loved this man.

The hours passed as I sped around doing all of the major prep for prom that night and I had arranged everything in my bathroom perfectly so I could pamper Bella in every way. She was still in a cast so I also wanted her to be comfortable. I had been helping her shower and dress whilst she had been an invalid. It was saving Charlie and Bella a lot of embarrassment.

Edward, true to his word brought Bella to the house at twelve, much to Bella's dismay I sent Edward away and got started, I pampered her in every way I knew and then some. I had done some research on the internet, I was wondering what the normal prom day rituals were I knew there was no need for a limo, Edward was taking the Vanquish, and that out did any Limo on the face of the planet.

Bella scowled at me through the sticky face mask I had applied to her pale skin.

"What are you doing exactly, Alice?"

"We're being girls Bella, relax, enjoy yourself. Believe me Edward will appreciate it."

"Hmph," was all I got in reply. Bella didn't like to be separated for Edward too much. I think she was afraid he would disappear.

"Will you just enjoy yourself, Bella. Your acting like I'm torturing you."

"You are!"

I frowned and shook my head as I bent to continue painting her toenails. Rosalie walked in the bathroom almost gliding.

"You ready for me yet?" she sang.

"Almost I just need to get that face mask off." I said finishing the last toe on Bella's foot. I looked up to catch the fearful glance Bella shot at Rosalie. If Rose could only cooperate, she would probably get along well with Bella, everyone saw it except Rose. Poor Bella had become nervous around Rose, not knowing what she had done to induce Rose's wrath.

I helped Bella to her feet and took her to the sink and carefully washed the mask from her face, the over large curlers kept her hair out of the way. Rose stood in the other corner of the room tapping her foot impatiently. "I haven't got all day, Alice, I have things to do."

"Rose, we're ready, stop nagging."

I sat Bella in the chair at my vanity and let Rosalie get to work. She worked quickly but efficiently, and the outcome was always worth it. She spun Bella in the chair a little harder than she should have, Bella lurched to the side and back.

"Voila."

"Rose, you're a genius."

"You just noticed." she laughed as she strode out of the room.

"Thanks Rose." Bella called timidly.

"Uh huh." Rose disappeared out of the door and it clicked closed behind it leaving the two of us alone again.

"Alice, what were you thinking? You know Rose doesn't like me."

"Rose likes you she just doesn't want to admit it." I laughed as I spun Bella a little more gently in the chair so she could see herself. "Anyway, she is the only person I know who could do this. . ."

I pointed to the mirror and let Bella examine herself in the mirror.

Bella's eyes grew large at her reflection. "Oh my!"

"I told you."

"I look, I look. . ."

"You can say it you know." I laughed happily.

"I look pretty."

"You always look pretty Bella, the make up just enhances your natural beauty. That's where Rose comes in, she's a genius when it comes to enhancing your best qualities. She's flawless. She did my make up at my wedding."

Bella was still staring at her reflection in disbelief.

"What time is it?" I asked flitting away to answer my own question. It was six o'clock, time to finish her hair and dress her. She had no idea about the dress and I was so excited at her reaction.

"Why, what's going on, Alice, please tell me."

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Two reasons, Edward would literally kill me and this is fun."

"For you maybe, I feel like a large dress up doll."

I laughed and started pulling the curlers from Bella's hair. The curls were large and full, I teased them gently to get the effect I wanted.

"What do you think?" I asked as I arranged the last curl.

"Alice, it's lovely, I just wish I knew. . ."

"Give it a break Bella, I'm not going to tell you." I said cutting her off.

Bella crossed her arms and scowled again. She could be so stubborn. I left the room and let her wallow in her own self pity. I pulled the dress from my closet and headed back towards the bathroom.

"What do you think?" I asked holding the dress up at full length and pulling it out of it's protective bag.

"It's beautiful, Alice, but where would you wear something like that?"

"It's not for me silly, it's for you."

"Huh?"

I pulled Bella from her seat and pulled the bathrobe from her gently. I pulled the dress over her figure and zipped up the back. Perfect fit, I was good. I spun Bella around the mirror for the last time tonight and showed her the exquisite creature that stood in front of her.

"Wow, Bella, you look fantastic."

Bella's mouth had dropped open and she was staring at her reflection with disbelief. I heard a gentle knock on my door and ran to open it. Edward stood in a tux grinning from ear to ear.

"She ready?"

"Just gotta put on her shoe and she's all yours." I smiled at him. "You may want to sit down for this."

Edward grinned and stepped further into the room. I picked up the box with the shoes inside and headed for the bathroom again. Bella was exactly where I left her.

"I need you to sit down for a second."

Bella looked at me again and smiled. I think she was having fun, I held up a shoe and the smile disappeared.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

"No," I laughed, and picked up some material from the dress. "It matches, see."

Bella rolled her eyes and flopped into the chair hesitantly. I placed the heeled shoe on her foot and fixed the satin ribbon.

"Okay, time to go, Edward's in my room waiting for you."

I pulled her out of the chair before she could protest and walked her into the bedroom, she was wobbling in the heel I had put her in but I knew Edward would never let her fall.

Edward's face was a picture. The dress was in the shade of blue he had always adored Bella to wear. His eyes drank in every inch of her and the large grin of complete approval covered his adoring face. He approved.

"Edward, you look very nice." Bella said almost swooning. I rolled my eyes and steadied her. Edward stepped forward and grinned some more.

"Bella, you're a vision, you look gorgeous."

Bella's cheeks flared a flattering pink but her smile showed her happiness. I looked at the clock we were running out of time. Jasper and I still had to get ready.

"Okay well off you go, have a great time and I'll see you both soon." I grinned hearing them out of my room. I gave Edward a quick wink and headed towards my closet to get dressed.

We pulled up at the school and the Vanquish was nowhere in sight we had beaten them here, which had been the plan, Edward had been sure this would be more comforting to Bella than us not being here. I was excited, we didn't normally do proms, one of the main reason being it would always leave Edward out if the equation because he would be in a sticky situation with unwanted attention from the hormonal teenage girls.

Jasper and I hadn't danced in a while so I was excited. I loved to dance with Jasper, always the southern gentleman he would guide me along the dance floor like a dream, I always felt so elegant dancing with him.

"You look beautiful, Alice."

I smiled and took his hand as he lead me to the dance floor, That was it we were dancing for the night, when Bella and Edward finally arrived Bella still looked radiant, but her expression told me she was terrified.

Edward pulled her onto the dance floor and pulled her to him, the joined us and looked just as graceful. I gave Bella a smile of support and turned my attention back to Jasper.

"What do you think?" I asked, still pleased with how the evening was going and how Bella looked.

"You did well, my love, now give me all your attention."

I smiled and gave in as he took the lead. We stayed dancing happily until I heard Jasper's murmur.

"Uh oh."

"What is it?" I whispered trying to follow his gaze.

"Whoever that is approaching them, Edward's not very happy."

"Let's dance a little closer to see if we can find out who it is." I suggested.

We heard the name Jacob in our brief reconnaissance mission and that's all we had to go on. Edward had shot us a look as we danced closer, warning us to stay away. Jacob, Jacob, Jacob. . . I knew that name.

"Jacob Black." I whispered.

I looked at Edward briefly but his eyes were on Jacob.

"It's none of our business, Alice." Jasper whispered into my ear and kissed my neck inconspicuously. I nodded in agreement. I would wait and hear it from Edward it if was important. Tonight I was dedicated to Jasper, the rest of the night and forever I was his.
