Chapter 20: Shopping with Alice

As Alice raced upstairs she called out, "Hey Hailey guess what we are going shopping you and me and your mom is coming with us she is going to get the credit cards from your dad and don't worry we are going to have so much fun I have not had a shopping partner like you in so long." As she said the end of her statement Hailey was panicking that her new friend was going to see her naked and did not want to be seen as a brazen slut by her friend. Hailey blanching turned around and tried to find something to cover herself, but failing as Alice saw her bubble butt said, "it is OK Hailey I brought some clothes for you to wear that my sister Rosalie said you could have, and since obviously your underwear was not going to fit I borrowed some of it from my sister Lucianna (she is a bit more conservative) until we get you something more fun to wear."

As Lily got into the car she turned to Alice and said "thanks Alice as you kind of see Hailey is going to need a major shopping trip and fortunately I brought several credit cards so that we can shop till we drop or Hailey has gotten enough clothes to get her through until she is more comfortable." Alice smiling said "OK, Mrs. Snape but can I ask what happened to her she seemed fine a few days ago and now literally she looks hotter than either of my sister's and with Rosalie that is saying something."

Lily smiling said as Alice started the car and pulled away from the house that "Hailey has undergone her blood manifestation and because she is an elf they naturally go through this change where as born vampires generally are considered an opposite to them." Alice smiling said "so what type of vampires are we (the Cullens)?" Lily smiling said you all are human beings that were changed by another vampire but the difference is if you were to go to the mystical world and to spend significant time there you all would be much more like the born vampires that reside there." Alice smiling said "ok, so Hailey what types of clothes do you need?"

Alice got mega excited and said "ooo what fun we will get you a lot of real pretty stuff and of course we have to get you some naughty stuff to, and let's not forget school starts in a few months so you will want to turn heads right from the start and that means that you need a major wardrobe and with that brother of yours you also are going to have such a hard time finding a suitable boyfriend." Alice finally drew a breath giving Hailey a chance to get a few words in saying "Alice, my brother is not all bad and after everything that has happened to me the last few years I desperately need him to look out for me a bit while I get my legs underneath me again and can again shoulder the amount of work I have to and as for the clothes can we please not go to overboard with it I don't think my dad is going to be too thrilled when he gets the credit card bill and sees how much we have spent it might actually cause him to have a heart attack assuming that he does in fact have one."

Lily turned and said "Hailey, your father does have a heart I am proof of that and while I understand he may not have treated you great when you were at Hogwarts that does not change the fact that he greatly loves you and wants you to be happy." Hailey nodded sadly, but her mother continued saying "and as for the credit card bill you are your father's only daughter so I am going to let you in on a huge secret you just have to bat your eyes and you will have your father wrapped around your little finger."

Hailey looked perplexed at that and said "I have never done that before isn't that kind of dishonest?"

Alice smiling said "no it is in the daughter's code." Hailey looked at Alice and said "what's that?"

Alice said the "daughter's code is where a daughter automatically by being there father's little girl can get away with anything simply by being their father's daughter. For example we are going shopping and we are going to spend so much money that you will think it is Christmas and your birthday all rolled into one and when your father finds out he will be sore at first but then once you lay on the sweetness your father will buckle like any other daddy on the face of the earth." Hailey silently stared at the back of Alice thinking "there is no way that my dad is going to be thrilled about me spending so much money on clothes, but I can't very well wear my mother's clothes for the rest of my life either so it might be ok to get a few things and I do want to look cute for when school starts back up."

Hailey sat up and said "Alice, why are you not freaking about me looking so different I mean I am thrilled that you aren't but it seems that you should be more in shock that your new friend has gone from a freakishly tall girl (who is tall enough to play center for a professional women's basketball league) to suddenly being at best 5'6 ½"?"

Alice smiled as she navigated the car down the busy streets heading to Seattle and said to Hailey "well your mom told me on the phone that you are an elf and that means you won't be as freakishly tall as you put it but I do have one question. Why are you wearing old lady clothes?"

Lily sighed and said "because they are the only clothes that I could find to fit my daughter now that she is an elf Alice but that is also why we are going to shop in Seattle and then get a hotel room and rest and then we are going to drive down to Port Angeles and go shopping and then go to Tacoma and go shopping as well then come home."

By the time Lily finished Hailey was trembling in terror and Alice was trembling with excitement.

Hailey said "mom if we do all that dad is going to kill me." Lily smiled and said "no he's not Hailey you need to understand that I one have already cleared this with your father and two he loves you and knows that you need this stuff besides you need to get that room of yours decorated how else can you invite Alice over for the night if you don't have that room setup correctly to where the two of you are able to have all the fun you want to have and besides you are my daughter and I want you to have fun after all who deserves it more than you."

Hailey smiling sat back and said "ok but let's not overdue it I mean even if daddy loves me (which I doubt) that does not mean he is going to be too happy with a massive shopping trip and what about Draco?"

Lily merely smiled and said "your father and Draco will handle that later on, but right now you are the priority young lady you cannot wear my clothes forever and you need a few things."

Hailey nodded and closed her eyes to rest for a bit while her mother and new friend Alice talked over a few things.

As Hailey slept Lily asked Alice "are you really fine with how she looks now I mean you are going to be the one who has to hold her hand when everybody is leering at her as if she was on this planet for sex only Alice and I do now that she is desperately going to need her best friend to assist her in this life?"

Alice smiled and said "yes, and besides I just know that once she meets Edward those two are going to be the most perfect mates on the planet, and I just know that they will belong together forever."

Lily smiled and sighed and said "Alice, I see you being my daughter's best friend you are not replacing anyone you are clearing a place all your own and you and she are going to be inseparable."

Alice smiled and the two were silent for the next hour until they reached their destination and Lily smiling said "Hailey, wake up we are here and we have so much fun ahead of us and you need to be awake for it."

Hailey groaned and got out of the car following her mother and Alice into the first of several malls that she would visit that week. The more shops they entered the more excited Alice got and at first Hailey was not having much fun mostly due to the fact that she was not much of a shopper and not allowed to shop much when living with the Dursley's, but she began to open up as Alice and her began to grow closer and she began to have more fun until it got to her undergarments.

Hailey flushed as Alice held up thongs, and crotch-less clothing with a wink as if knowing something Hailey did not know yet. Hailey said, "Alice I can't wear that my dad will kill me if he catches me in that." Alice merely smiled and said, "OK so no on the crotch-less, but you are getting the thongs and as for your dad killing you Hailey you are his only daughter, and all daughters can wrap their father's around their little finger. I am not Carlisle's biological daughter, but I am able to do it the same to him as Rosalie can and Lucianna who is Carlisle's biological daughter."

Hailey nodded and they continued with the clothes shopping, but while that went on Lily was busy getting makeup for her daughter and also getting her more things like furniture to bolster the room she had at home.

The shopping trip in Port Angeles went on for several hours to the point that at one point Lily called for a large u-haul truck to hold all her daughter's new clothes and things, but once done with Port Angeles Lily called and spoke to her husband, "Severus good news the girls are having an amazing time shopping we have finished Port Angeles and I am directing the u-haul trucker to our house for you and Draco be good boys and put everything in Hailey's room we girls are on our way to Seattle."

Severus blanched and said, "Lily I think that is not necessary I mean surely she has enough to get her started and Seattle is going to be a long trip don't you think it should wait until another day?" Lily sighed and said, "fine you win we will come home but we will be making this trip to Seattle fairly soon."

Severus let out a tremendous sigh of relief and then flashed as he remembered, "u-haul. OH MY GOD! My wife just bankrupted us." Severus turned and called out to his son and said, "Draco, come here we are in for a wonderful hell when your mom and sister get home they went overboard shopping."

Draco arrived and winced at what he had heard, and both father and son waited for the ladies to return home.
