POV: Alice, Rosalie, Bella


Night of Disasters

AlyPOV

All is well so far, I thought as I did a last minute inspection. Even with everything going on, I still didn't have a good feeling about tonight. It was almost like something bad was going to happen and it was going to affect us all. Especially Bella, I think. Thanks to my psychic powers, I am able to determine the future but sadly the description is always vague. Sometimes, my powers are a lifesaver, whereas a disaster the other. I used to think of them as a curse when I was small, but my mother helped me through it. Apparently, it runs in the family.

"Aly, can you help me with these?" came Rosalie's voice from the kitchen.

"Alright, be there in five." I yelled as I went through the last of my inspection. This is going to be one hell of a night, I thought as I made my way over to the kitchen.


RosiePOV

It is a disaster. That was all anyone would say after a glance in the kitchen. Usually, kitchen is Bella's duty but since she's resting it's passed onto us. We, who don't even know the C of culinary, are managing a kitchen. Disaster.

"What now?" Alice's voice floated through the kitchen even before she walked in, but what she saw made her stop dead in her tracks. "Rosie, please tell me that's not our food."

"Oh, but it is." The caterer somehow managed to mess our orders with that of a…..

"Is that a unicorn?" Alice asked in an incredulous voice.

"Yea, and on a rainbow too." I tried to sound cherry but my voice came out in a small squeak. "Looks like we got mixed up with a kid's birthday party."

"Yea, I can see that." Alice was still recovering, but it wasn't looking hopeful.

"What now?" I asked as I pressed a hand to my forehead. This was the first time something this big a disaster has happened and we don't know what to do.

"There's only one person who can help us…" Alice sighed.

"But Aly, she's resting….." but I was cut off by a new, familiar voice.

"Not anymore." Said Bella, who was standing there in all her glory.

"Why are you up? Aren't you supposed to be resting?" I started shooting questions in her direction as soon as she finished talking.

"I am well rested now. I came down to see if you guys needed some help, but from the looks of it, you guys are quite desperate for help." She finished with a smile.

"Bells, you've gotta help us. The catering screwed up big time!" Alice started her frantic wails.

"Yea, I can see that." Bella murmured as she inspected the damage. "Is that a unicorn?" she pointed towards the cake. From the looks on her face I can see that she was having a hard time controlling her laughter.

"Bella! You gotta help us! Now!" now Alice was back to her commanding mode.

"Geez, calm down. I'm here to help, remember." She shook her head at Alice's antics but a smile played on her lips. "You guys go and look at the arrangements, I'll handle it here." She all but shooed Alice out.

"But…" her protest where cut off by an adamant Bella.

"No but's Aly, this is my thing. Trust me on this one." She said gently. Alice hung her head in defeat and walked out.

"Here's the caterers number." I handed her a slip of paper. "Good Luck." She smiled as she pulled out her cellphone and got down to work.

This is gonna be a long night, I thought as I made my way towards the main hall.


BellyPOV

"Alright, thank you." Finally, problem solved! I thought as I mentally patted myself. It took a great deal of time to make it right but I finally did it.

"All set?" Rosalie asked as she came in carrying a box of garlands.

"Yea, just got off with the caterers. They apologized for inconvenience and are on their way to sort out the whole mess."

"That's great news. Wait till I tell Alice." Then a mischievous smile lit her face "do you know what this means?"

"No, what does this mean?" I replied, confused.

"This means Miss Brandon owes you, big time." This bought a smile to my face.

"Now that you said it, maybe I do. But I'll save it for the future, you know for extreme situations." We laughed. "Come on; let's give her the good news. She's probably driving everyone crazy."

"Yea, lets rescue the crew!" Rosalie bowed gentlemen style and marched outside. I followed suit, shaking my head, with a small smile on my face.

"This much is enough Alice." I looked at myself in the mirror. I wore a simple black, thanks to Carlisle, with just a hint of makeup. Silver danglers and a bunch of bangles in one hand. The ballet flats completed the outfit.

"You look beautiful Bell's!" Alice squealed.

"Yea, you look great." Rosalie chimed. I blushed.

"Alright, enough about me, you both still have to get ready, remember?" it was like something clicked in their mind, they shot a panicked glance at each other and then at the clock. I laughed, for it was a comical scene. I wish I had a camera so I could capture the Kodak moment.

"Rosalie, let's get to work." Alice spoke in her determined tone as both got to work. I smiled and took the nearby chair. From time to time I voiced my thoughts, and they would stop and look at me and then at themselves and then get back to work again.

"Showtime." Alice murmured as we started descending the stairs. The guest's had started arriving half an hour ago, but we are moving according to the Alice Brandon clock. Slowly, we started descending, one step at a time, in an order. First was Rosalie, followed by Alice and then me. The music stopped and everyone turned towards us. Murmurs and whispering could be heard. I blushed and ducked my head so as my hair created a veil, protecting me from the stares. Finally, we reached the end, but that was not all. As soon as I got off the last step I was surrounded by people, my schoolmates to be exact. One look at their faces and I knew they knew of the incident. Before anyone could speak, Alice and Rosalie steered me in another direction claiming they needed me. I could never be more grateful of my sisters for I had no intention of reminding that night. It was gone and forgotten, easier said than done but I am trying my level best.

"Bell, you alright?" Rosalie asked as soon as we were out of earshot.

"Yea, thanks for the save." Alice waved a hand to dismiss my thanks but I could see worry in her eyes.

"Yo!" Emmett shouted from across. That made me smile instantly but it was short lived as I noticed only Em and Jazz. I looked around but still no sign of Edward or Jane.

"Don't fret Bells, Eddie's running late. Jane's with him." I smiled at Emmett as he came and stood beside Rosalie and jasper followed suit.

"You guys look good together." I said as I pulled out my early New Year gift from my dress pocket. It was a digi cam.

"What's that?" Em asked as I pointed the camera in their direction and took their picture. They all looked good. I smiled and tucked it back inside.

"It's a digi cam." I replied to Emmett's earlier question.

"Hey babe, ain't that her gift?" Emmett turned towards Rosalie with a confused expression.

"Yea, well she found it." Rosalie admitted. I smiled a million dollar smile while Alice and Rosalie sulked.

"You guys need to brush up on your hiding skills." Jasper spoke for the first time.

"Yea, yea, we know." Alice rolled her eyes. Then she suddenly concentrated on something behind me and a smile lit up on her face. "Look who decided to join us." She teased as we all turned around only to find Jane. No, a different version of Jane. She was wearing the dress I gave her, and had accessorized it with a beads necklace and paired it with a pair of black heels.

"Hey guys." She greeted us shyly.

"You look amazing." I said as I hugged her.

"Thanks, I mean for the dress too." I smiled.

"You look awesome Jane!" Alice squealed as she jumped forward to hug Jane. I was happy to see that she didn't jump back but welcomed it. "Guess Bella's tastes are getting better." She teased me as she pulled back.

"Well, it depends on the wearer as well." Rose said as she stepped forward and embraced Jane. "You look beautiful, Edward's gonna have a hard time keeping the boys at bay." She teased as Jane blushed and laughed a small laugh.

"Speaking of which, where is Mr. Grumpy Pants?" Alice asked as she scanned the crowd.

"Oh, he got a last minute call and had to be somewhere. He said he'll meet us later."

"Who dropped you then?" I asked.

"Dad" she replied. My eyes went wide but then I forced myself calm as a big smile made it's was to my face. Alice and Rose's mirrored mine.

It was almost midnight as Edward was nowhere to be seen. The party was in full swing when I suddenly caught a hint of copper. I stood up and made my was through the crowd. Edward was standing there, mere feet from me, looking handsome in a pair of black pants, black tee and a black blazer. As if he sensed me, he turned around and smiled at me. I smiled back. But the smile vanished as I saw a blonde emerge from behind him. She was beautiful. Her hairs in an unusual strawberry blonde shade, her body that of a supermodel and the dress of a designer. I was rooted to my spot.

"Hey Bella, how are you?" I was still standing at the same place as Edward came over to me and swept me into a one armed hug since his other had was being held by someone blonde.

"I'm fine, you?" I finally snapped out of my trance. He smiled at my direction.

"Bella, meet Tanya. Tanya meet Bella." He gestured between us. I mustered my best smile as I met her outstretched hand. Tanya smiled at me too, but there was something behind it that I didn't like. It looked like she wanted to say something but was cut off by the countdown.

Just as shouts filled the air I saw Tanya pull Edward towards him and give him a kiss which Edward returned.

Everything happened in slow motion. I clutched my stomach, as if in pain as fell down on my knees. Then suddenly darkness started enveloping me as I heard noises in the background.

Happy New Year! Yea!


Here it is; the chapter you've been waiting for since the beginning. I am sorry for such a long delay but my reviewers and I both were feeling like I was stretching the story. I am sorry but in my defense I just wanted to say that before putting the story in speed I just wanted to develop all my characters. From now on I will try to update more often. Also, the story would pick up speed from here.

Don't worry, I know you guys are wondering where the hell Tanya came from but have a bit patience and your questions would be answered.

Now just go with the flow.

Please do review and tell me your views. It's nice to know what you are thinking for it helps me make my stories better.

Until next time.

Much Love,

Bella
