I AM SOOOO SORRY i haven't updated! School has been maddening. I hope this chapter will make up for it. I will be updating all of my stories sometime this week/end.

I would LOVE to thank Violet, whose support has got me through a LOT. In fact, she helped me with almost everything. So thanks V, I LURVE YOU! I would do ANYTHING for you sweetie! -hugs-

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight.

Oh my gosh. This was certainly the last thing I expected. I mean, he just changed me, among other things I know my parents would not approve of. Imagine the look on their faces when I tell them. And what will they say? I can see it now: "You're marrying that Cullen boy?" "Honey, did he force you?" "You're too young!"

And as I stood there in total shock, looking at the most expensive ring I've ever laid eyes on, only one thing crossed my mind. I love this man, and I want to be with him for the rest of my immortal life. For forever.

I glanced at his face—nervous, anxious, anticipation----and then back at the rock surrounded by more rocks (diamond in the middle with little diamonds and topaz alternating all around the band). Only someone who loved me would spend this much time and allowance on me.

"YES!" I almost screamed. "Oh, Edward!" And I went to hug and kiss his newly excited/relieved face. He was a king and he wanted me to be his queen. He was nervous about asking me to marry him, when this whole time, he could've had any girl, anywhere. But he chose me, which made me happier, leading me to kiss him harder. He chuckled and found my left hand, and then he slipped the ring on. It fit perfectly.

How did he know my size?

I had Alice go through your jewelry for me. Of course he would never do it; he has Alice for that.

She knew you were going to propose?

He pulled back and smiled sheepishly. "Well she is Alice," he said. But I sensed he was editing. I looked at him, staring into his almost black eyes. He couldn't hold out. "And I might have mentioned it… at some point."

"Well," I said excitedly, "when and where are we getting married.

He looked confused. "It's up to you, I guess. Why don't you, Alice, and Rosalie look around? And Esme, too. I'm sure she'd love to help out. You know how she is with this stuff."

We exchanged knowing looks, and laughed quietly. "Yeah, I do know. Which is why it will be girls only, and the guys can do the other stuff. Go get tuxedos and junk like that." Then Charlie popped into my head. "Charlie! What will we do about Charlie? He'll flip his lid if he finds out I'm getting married at 18! And—"

"Bella, sweetheart! Calm down! We, the guys, will do the guy things. And that includes Charlie. You know how Carlisle has a way with words. And Jasper's gift will definitely come in handy…" he trailed off and let the sentence hang there.

Yes, the guys would work things out. I knew somehow that they would. But now it was 4:24 and we really needed to check out. Edward read my mind—haha, I thought--- and said, "Later. We will worry about this later."

And with that, he grabbed my bags, and we walked out the door.

"Let me see it!" they squealed in unison. Alice snatched my hand and squealed—again. Rosalie followed suit.

"We were in the car, headed back home. And as soon as the door slammed shut, I'm bombarded with questions the whole way home.

"Have you thought about where it will be?" asked Alice.

"Have you thought about what you'll wear?" asked Rosalie as we stepped inside our home.

"I have an inkling about them both…" I lead them on to think I knew something, but I really did have only that. An inkling.

"WHAT?" they screamed.

"Get Esme and I'll tell all the girls at once!"

Rosalie was back with a startled looking Esme by her side. She snatched my hand again and showed Esme. "Look," she instructed.

"It looks beautiful on you, dear," she said, smiling. Then she added, "And that's just the engagement ring." She winked and I returned her kindness.

"I know," I said in an awed voice. "But we aren't her to ogle my engagement ring. I came up with an idea for my wedding. It's going to sound, well, crazy, but here me out."

I looked at their expectant faces and said, "Let's sit down." Then I lead the way to the living room, and sat down in a recliner. The other 3 sat down on the couch in front of me.

"Okay," I began. "I was thinking a lot about the wedding and came up with an idea I really loved. I've always wanted a wedding in Disney world." I paused and looked at their reactions. Their faces held nothing but curiosity. Except for Alice; her face was knowing. I looked directly at her. "Hey! That's not fair!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," she said innocently.

"Mmhmm."

"Esme and Rose still don't know. Why don't you fill them in Bella?"

"Cheater," I muttered. She giggled and I continued. "And I wanted to be a character of my favorite movie."

"What movie is that, dear?" Esme asked politely.

"This is where it gets ironic. It's… Beauty and the Beast." I sat there awaiting the two girls' reaction. They all burst out laughing. And I had to admit; it was kind of funny. Laughter bubbled in my throat, threatening to escape.

This would be fun.
