---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The doorbell rang and pulled me out of my thoughts. I hurried downstairs, tripping twice, to answer it, but Charlie beat me to it. I looked past him and saw Alice smiling brightly. It reminded me of my earlier thought that this weekend is going to be a hazard to my health.

"Hey, Bella. Are you ready?" She was standing on her toes looking over Charlie's shoulder. She was almost hopping up and down on her feet.

I sighed. "Hello Alice. Yes, I'm ready. I'll got get my stuff." I turned to head back up the stairs.

"Don't worry. I'll get it." Alice scooted by Charlie, winked at me, and went to get my stuff. Charlie closed the door and returned to the living room. I followed. Of course, I didn't hear her approach, but soon Alice was standing beside me. "Ok, Bella. Let's go party!" She was smiling again and I won't deny it. I was scared. For once, I was finally afraid of vampires, well the Cullens anyway. I got up, said goodbye to Charlie, and gave him a hug.

Alice was still carrying all my things. "Alice, I can carry something." I stuck out my hand to take something.

"No, its fine. I got it." She continued out the front door to the Volvo. I followed closing the door on my way out.

She placed my clothes in the backseat and got in the driver's seat before I even got to the passenger side. I got in as she started the car. Because of her insane driving we made it to her house in just 15 minutes. She got out of the Volvo, grabbed my things, and was in the house before I had even taken my seat belt off. As I took it off, Edward opened my door, picked me up and carried me into the house. We stopped in the living room where everyone was.

"Hello, Bella." Carlisle said speaking for everyone.

"Hello, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper." I said, blushing a bit. I saw Jasper giving me an odd look and then he looked directly at Edward and seemed to be concentrating on something. I looked at Edward and watched as he went from amused to worry to amused and happy again. Now he directed his golden orbs on my face.

"Bella, love" as he started he chuckled, "why are you scared?" So that's what Jasper was saying or thinking, that I was scared. I decided to give Jasper a glare even though I knew he would see right through it.

"I'm afraid you are going to drop me, now put me down please. I do know how to walk." It was a lie of course and I could tell he knew that but I was not going to tell him the truth. I'm glad he let it drop, for now anyway.

"Are you sure about that Bella? I mean you always seem to be tripping."

I glared at Emmett. He could be so mean sometimes, even when he was just teasing. "Yes Emmett. I know how to walk. I just lack the coordination." I looked around the room, then at my watch. It was 7:30. I turned to face Edward again. "Umm…so what are we going to do?"

Edward smiled. "The family wanted to play some games with us. Is that ok?"

"Sure, that sounds fine. Oh! Did you tell them we are going shopping tomorrow?" My voice dropped noticeably low on the word shopping but I was sure Alice heard it anyway. I was happy she didn't say anything about it. After Edward's next words I understood why.

"Yes, I did. Alice, Esme, and Emmett would like to join us. I told them it was up to you." Great, he wants to let me be the bad guy.

"Oh well. That's fine by me. The more, the merrier." I internally grimaced, grocery shopping with vampires that should be interesting.

As we were talking, Jasper was getting out the games. I don't think there was any game invented that they didn't own. I felt my jaw drop as the pile just got bigger and bigger and bigger. The games ranged in age groups like from Candy Land to Deal or No Deal to Scene it?. I heard Edward chuckle.

"Bella, love. What do you want to play?" Everyone turned to face me.

"I…um…I don't know."

"We'd like you to choose Bella." Esme said softly.

"Um…ok. I guess we could pl-" Alice's voice cut me off.

"Great choice Bella!" She said as she walked over to the pile to find the game I was going to suggest. Stupid, psychic vampire.

"It's a terrific idea, Bella." Edward commented while kissing my cheek. Everyone else was staring at us confused. Edward finally told them the answer just as Alice found the game. "She suggested we play monopoly."

"Aww. Dang it!," yelled Emmett. I gave him a confused look. He saw me and said "Alice or Edward always win when we play monopoly."

I thought about that. It made sense since Alice could see the future and Edward could read thoughts. I decided to try to make Emmett feel better. "Don't worry Emmett. I always loose first. So I know who will be the first one out, me. I don't need Alice to tell me that." I laughed as I finished.

They all were staring at me astonished. "Then why did you choose to play it, Bella?"

I turned to face Carlisle and responded to his question by saying, "Because I was overwhelmed by how many games you had and then under pressure to pick one." I shrugged, "That was the first one that came to mind." Now everyone was on the verge of laughing, me included. While we were talking, Alice set up the board in the dining room. We all headed in there, and I made sure to sit near Edward. They let me choose my piece first. I picked the dog. Edward decided to sit out.

As I predicted, I was the first out. I had only had 26 turns. That was a new record for me. After I got out I looked at the clock. It was almost midnight. How did it get so late so fast? "Come on, its time for you to go to bed." Edward whispered in my ear. I agreed with him.

"Good night everyone." I said. I heard the exhaustion in my voice. After each of them said 'Good night' to me, we headed upstairs to Edward's room with Edward caring me. I think I fell asleep before we even made it to his room. The last thing I remember was Edward's lips on my forehead.
