AN: I know that I said this would be a longer chapter, but I have stuff I need to do today and I have a lot on mind, but I wanted to post something so this is what you get. I hope that you all like it.

The afternoon of the dance Rosalie had come to the hospital to help Alice get ready. The doctors had decided to keep her a few more days, but they had given her permission to go to the dance and after party as long as she came back and kept a cellphone with her at all times in case of an emergency. The boys were going to pick them up at the hospital before they headed out to the dance. They had talked about going to a party after, but they were not exactly sure if they should or not. It would all depend on how Alice was feeling after the dance ended.

After having helped her take a shower Rosalie then helped her in to the beautiful dress that Edward had bought for her. Rose had to admit that even though the bronzed haired male gave her the creeps he did have excellent taste. The dress was absolutely perfect. "You look gorgeous Ali! I am going to go put my dress on and do my hair and makeup while Chelle does your hair and helps you with all your jewelry."

Chelle happened to be one of the nurses who regularly visited Alice even when she wasn't working. She was a sweet middle aged redhead with a kind heart who had grown fond of the small girl the second she first laid eyes on her. In fact, she had been one of the main people to fight for Alice to be able to attend the dance and she was going to help her get ready while Rosalie changed in to her black evening gown styled dress.

Chelle came in with a smile and a bag full of the things she would need to do Alice's hair. "Are you all set?"

"Ready to roll!" The tiny girl stated with a huge smile on her face. "Which if you think about is kind of ironic since I have to use the wheelchair."

The redheaded nurse laughed as she sat down on the bed and started brushing out Alice's short hair. They were quiet as she worked. Since Alice had such short hair it did not take long to finish. Chelle had decided to curl Alice's hair before weaving in little different colored flowers. Then as a final touch she added the crown Edward had purchased. All in all she thought her work had come out rather well and she could only hope that the young patient would agree.

After she was finished she smiled before handing Alice a small mirror so she could look. "I thought the flowers would complement your dress and they bring out your stunningly beautiful eyes. I hope that you didn't mind me using the flowers first without talking to you first, but I really wanted it to be a surprise."

"Of course I don't mind." The teen girl stated in a tone full of happiness. "You did such a wonderful job! Why are you a nurse when you could be running your own hair salon? I bet celebrities would pay you top dollar for you to style their hair."

"You are too kind little one." The nurse stated as she started helping her with the rest of her jewelry. "Are you excited to be getting out of the hospital for a night of fun?"

The pixie like teen blushed which she did when nervous. "I am more like terrified actually. This is the first night everyone is going to see me since the accident. What if they think I look hideous or think of me as a freak? No matter how much makeup Rosalie puts on my face the burns are still going to be visible."

Chelle set her hand on Alice's shoulder in a show of comfort. "Does it really matter what they think? All that matters is you have a good time. If they are so petty that they really have a problem with your scars then that is their issue not yours. You need to think of your burns as battle scars. You fought a battle against death and you came out the winner. Be proud of them not ashamed."

She had never really looked at it that way. "I guess I never really thought of that."

"How do I look?" Rosalie interrupted the conversation as she came out in a skin tight black dress that swept the floor. She had piled her hair on top of her head with pins and her makeup consisted of natural red and browns. She looked gorgeous and for a brief moment her best friend was jealous of her. "Do you think it's too much or not enough?"

"It is absolutely perfect Rose." Alice assured her with a wide smile. "You look like a goddess and if Jasper didn't love me I would say he would fall for you, but then again I know you are trying to get the attention of Emmett and not my boyfriend."

"Even if she were after me I only have eyes for you." Jasper suddenly appeared in the door with Edward behind him. Both boys were tense and you could tell they did not want to be around each other and yet tonight they had no other choice. "You look stunning Ali and Rose you look beautiful as well. I am sure that we are going to have loads of fun tonight."

Edward made his way over to Alice before taking her hand in his palm and kissing her knuckles. "You look ravishing Alice. Are you ready to party until we drop?"

"You bet I am!" She replied with a giggle as he and Jasper lifted her up carefully before setting her in her wheelchair. "Let's get out of here! I am so ready to roll! I'll see you later Chelle and I will be sure to take lots of pictures and tell you all about it."

"You better!" The nurse called as they headed out the door laughing and talking eagerly about how much fun they were going to have.
