I woke up to the fire alarm beeping.

I fell out of bed getting tangled in the sheets.

"Ow." I hissed.

I got loose and made my way downstairs there was smoke and a horrible burnt smell.

"Dad!" I yelled.

"Its okay!" he yelled and I heard him cuss.

I walked into the kitchen to find him over the sink with it on and smoke coming in waves I got closer to see what he had and when I did I started laughing.

"Dad you killed the toaster." I laughed.

The silver toaster was now black and charred.

It did smell like fire and burnt toast.

"You know it has a knob on it and it was set so tell me how you set the toaster on fire?"

Before he could answer I got another burnt smell hit my senses.

he must of smelt it too.

"Damn it." He hissed as he went to the stover and took the pan off the burner.

"I was trying to make you a birthday Breakfast."

I shook my head.

"Thanks, Dad." I smiled. I see both him and mom were helpless in the kitchen.

Well mom didn't burn water like dad could at least but she liked to just through things together that didn't work.

I had gotten her a cookbook to help her get some unique recipes that are good.

She doesn't do too badly.

"The thought was nice. Why don't you open the windows to air the place out and I'll see what I can whip up." I smiled at him.

"Why don't I take you to breakfast?"

I bit my lip.

"We don't have to there is food here."

He looked to me. "It's your Birthday come on go get dressed."

I nodded."Okay."

I headed upstairs I grabbed jeans and a blue blouse.

then headed into the bathroom for a shower.

Once out dressed and put on my sister's mascara and eyeliner just for a little something I headed down the stairs to get my jacket.

Charlie was already at the door waiting.

"Come on Kido."

I smiled.

we got into the cruiser.

"So do you feel older?"

I laughed."No"

"You seem older I think."

"You think?"

"You've grown up its good Anna I'm happy you have taken on more responsibility on your own I well I was worried for you but with you doing better in school and you doing your homework."

"Thanks dad yeah I just realized that school was important for what I want to do." I nodded.

I wasn't really sure what Anna wanted to do with her life but more like she wanted to graduate to go to a college out of state she would need a lot more than just the schoolwork I was doing. I could look into some more classes for her to get more credits and maybe get her to do some community service hours somewhere to help.

We got to dads favorite place a diner in town.

We walked in and took a booth.

The waitress Amy with short blonde hair and a bright smile took my order of strawberry pancakes and dads of buttermilk pancakes and sausage.

"So you are going to this boy Edmunds house?"

"Edward dad. Yes his sister Alice likes to throw parties when she learned it was my birthday she asked if Id come over I caved."

"I'm sure she really twisted your arm." Dad laughed.

I bit my lip and looked to my plate of pancakes. If only he knew.

"Alice is great we get along and his brother Emmett that's the big one is a lot of laughs."

"What about the other two the Hales I believe?"

"Jasper is shy but he's nice and very calming, his sister Rosalie." I thought for a minute "She's very headstrong and she loves working on cars."

"Working on cars?"

I laughed. "I know what she looks like but she loves cars and she likes mechanics its a hobby of hers she just doesn't tell anyone. she actually picks out the cars they all have and does the maintenance on them all."

Dad nodded but looked unsure.

I smirked I was in shock over it too.

The Beautiful Rosalie Hale, that looked like she walked right off a runway a grease monkey.

Dad and I talked more and eat are breakfast.

I was nervous with him meeting Edward.

Mainly cause he kept saying his name wrong though I was positive he was doing it on purpose.

We left the diner and I was getting anxious I had to get home shower and find nothing to wear I should of asked what kind of party it was.

Did I wear casual jeans and top?

Is it more of a skirt and blouse kind of thing?

should I do makeup and hair.

I bit my lip.

I wasn't really one to get all dressed up but I wanted to look good for Edward and them.

I mean it was a party.

Once we got to the house I shot out of the car.

"Anna wheres the fire?"

I laughed. I turned to look at him with one hand on the door.

"Bad choice of words. Where are you going?" He said sheepishly.

"I need to shower and get ready."

He laughed. "Yes okay, better hurry you only have 3 hours."

I huffed as I headed for Anna's room to find something to wear.

I was shocked to see a blue box with a black ribbon on it.

I walked slowly to the bed.

there was a card that was tucked in the ribbon.

"Bella was elegantly scripted on the front of the envelope.

I opened it.

'Wear this put your hair in a half-up down due, light make up no blush, use the strawberry shampoo and no perfume.

Happy Birthday

Alice'

I smiled and shook my head.

"Thank you, Alice."

I opened the box carefully to see a lovely blue a-line dress, knee-length sleeveless and it had black lace outer layer over it to make it pope out.

I loved it and Anna had black flats that would go with it.

I showered and followed Alices instructions.

Before I knew it there was a knock on the door.
