The sun shimmering in through the windows woke me up. That and Aunt Alice hopping on my bed, shaking me violently. "We've only got two hours to get ready for school!" she shrieked, in all seriousness. I couldn't help but giggle. I sat up, rubbing my eyes. "Ewwww! Maybe I should have woken you up earlier! Do you see your hair?" I frowned. I wanted to be mad, but I couldn't. Aunt Alice didn't really mean to be rude, but she was! When it came to looks, she wouldn't lie. Groggily, I stood up, and walked over to my mirror. A look of horror came onto my face. Alright, so, Aunt Alice had a reason to shriek. My hair is TERRIBLE! I frowned again, knowing Aunt Alice had been right.
Aunt Alice rose from her spot on my couch, and began running a comb through my hair. Jeez, this hurts! "Ouch!" I moaned, flinching. She smiled, most likely having forgotten that she could hurt me. This was a serious downside to being half-human. "Ow," I mumbled. It was really no use to try to mumble. I knew Aunt Alice had heard me quite clearly.
"Yeesh, Ness, I'll be more gentle!" She grimaced. I heard Uncle Jasper and Uncle Emmett snickering outside the door. My eyes narrowed, with frustration. I just wanted to get to school! Forget having to look like Miss America! I kept my eyes on the ground. Finally, I decided to ask,
"So, what am I wearing, boss?" She smiled, knowing she had been (temporarily) forgiven for her obsession with beauty.
"I'll show you, come on! Your hair is done," she pulled my arm to step near my closet. I pulled back. "Aunt Alice, I wanna look at my hair. Hang on," was my reply when she looked at me with one of her there's-no-time-to-waste looks. "Fine," I heard her mumble.
I touched the golden curls, letting them spring up and down. I had to admit, my aunt had done an incredible job. The blond locks shimmered, but didn't appear greasy. I shook them, and they danced around my face, glowing. I played with them for a bit more, before following Aunt Alice to my closet.
My closet! It was huge! Probably every pre-teen's dream. The closet was bigger than my room itself. And, no lies, that was saying something. My room was about the size of…hmm…a basketball court. Yep, that's about right. So, the closet was bigger than a b-ball court! And it was stocked with more clothes than I would ever be able to wear, even though I had forever to wear each outfit. I didn't recognize a single article of clothing in the closet, for Aunt Alice decided things got too old after we wore them once. She needs help, I know!
Today, Aunt Alice had picked out a gorgeous outfit. It was faded Abercrombie jeans, only slightly ripped at the left knee. Along the back pockets were rhinestones, which embroidered the jeans with and beautiful R on them. Aunt Alice must have ordered them specially. I slipped off my night pants and pulled on the jeans. I looked at my shirt. It was perfect. It was magenta pink, mostly. A band, which wrapped around the waist and up the chest in a V, was a crisp, white colour. Another white band circled around the bottom of the shirt. The shirt flowed outward from the waist to my hips, making it look feminine and (if I do say so myself) sexy! I slipped off my nightshirt, and slid on the top. I peered at myself in my mirror. Wow! I felt so pretty!
My mom and Aunty Rose walked in then. They were smiling, also pampered and looking like fashion models, thanks to Alice. I giggled. They were both so striking.
Mom was wearing a royal blue dress, which was Dad's favourite colour on her, which bore sparkles in a strip around the waist. It was exquisite! I wondered if Dad had seen her yet. I heard a faint "Uh-huh" from somewhere outside my door, giving me my answer. Mom's hair was straightened, and pulled back in a pony on the side of her head. She had deep blue eye shadow on, and rosy-pink lip-gloss. It made her perfect face even more stunning.
Aunty Rosalie. Wow! She looked amazingly beautiful. I didn't need to wonder if Emmett had seen her yet, because she was giggling continuously, once Mom mentioned Emmett. Rose had on a sun-yellow blouse. It glimmered. The top was almost blinding, it shimmered so much. There were miniature rhinestones all over the top half of the shirt. The bottom was more plain, to balance it out. She wore faded jeans, as I did, though hers were designer. She held a bright pink Juicy Couture purse, which did not match at all. The purse through me off. I nodded in understanding as she held it out to me. It was my purse.
"A gift?" I asked. She nodded, smiling. I slipped the purse on my shoulder and gave my aunts and mother hugs. Next I knew I was sitting in Alice's new makeover room, with eye shadow being applied to my porcelain face. It was pink. So was my lip-gloss. I stood up when Aunt Alice had finished, and smiled. She had done an unbelievable job making us all look beautiful. That included herself.
Aunt Alice wore a green top, simple, yet gorgeous. She had her short side bangs hang down under her matching green headband. She wore medium Anna Clint Original jeans. Her outfit was the simplest out of the girls, but she looked just as remarkably stunning. And this family was supposed to blend in. Ha! Our first day of school, I was sure, would be full of gossip on our peculiar family. I chuckled, remembering all the stories I had heard from my families.
No one had thought about the other vampires all morning. No one really had time. We were busy getting ready and getting our family story straight (for the overly curious humans) and making sure everyone else looked good and was ready. The Cullen house was overly chaotic. We were all frantic when we heard Grampa call,
"Family meeting! It's important!" One by one, we filed down the stairs to our living room. I took a seat on a chair by the window, next to Uncle Jazz. He smiled at me.
"How's Alice been?" He asked me. I gave him a grimace, and then burst into laughter.
"What?" Everyone asked me. I knew they would all hear, but I didn't care, I leaned up, and whispered in my uncle's ear,
"I think you had trouble getting all the eye shadow off, Uncle Jazz. Sorry, here, let me help," I was still fighting back giggles. If he hadn't been a vampire, he would have flushed a few shades. I knew he was embarrassed, as the whole family had just been listening, intent on hearing my secret.
"You know, that was rude of you all to listen to my secret!" I looked around the room, jokingly tsk tsk-ing everyone. They smiled, shrinking into their seats, perhaps feeling some well-earned guilt. Carlisle walked in then.
"Okay, so, I want to just make sure we have this story down. All right?" We all nodded and gave, "Uh-huh"s. "So, Emmett, you are Emmett Cullen. Understand? Rosalie, you are Rosalie Hale. Jasper, you are Jasper Hale, twin to Rose. Got it?" He didn't pause for everyone to agree, in understanding. He knew the older kids had their stories. It was me and mom. He continued, "Then…Alice, you are Alice Cullen, younger sister to Emmett, and twin to Edward. So, Edward, that makes you Edward Cullen, twin to Alice and younger brother to Emmett. Bella…" He waited for my mother to focus on him, then continued, "Bella, you are going back to being Bella Swan. Got it?" My mom immediately nodded. "Nessie, you are Renesmee Hale, younger sister to Jasper and Rose, who are twins. Do you understand, Ness?" I smiled and nodded. I had down the story. My problem would be calling everyone Aunt, Uncle, Mom, and Dad. That would be a major mistake. I didn't know how I would explain that. My dad read my thoughts and responded,
"Yes, Nessie, you will have to watch out for a mistake like that. You can't let that slip. And please don't run fast or do anything humanly impossible. You too, dear," at the end, he had turned to my mom, kissing her on the cheek.
"Get a room!" Uncle Emmett bellowed. I, along with most of our family, burst in to giggles. Dad scowled, but Mom joined in the joke. She didn't mind some jokes, though many embarrassed her to death. We all walked our separate ways then, (Mom and Dad taking up Emmett's offer, headed to their room) and I logged on aim.

Well, that went pretty well. I got to talk to Jake, and now I was on my way to get some revenge on Uncle Emmett for insulting Jake. But, I needed a good plan. I knew there were two people who could help. Aunty Rose and Aunt Alice. And Mom could help keep our plan a secret, what with her shielding power, and all. So, I set off to find my aunts and mother.
"Ness! We need to go!" Mom called down the hall.
"Okay!" I called back, slinging my Juicy bag over my shoulder, and grabbing my book bag. When I was downstairs, I whispered in my quietest voice, "Mom, put your shield up." Mom reacted quickly. I knew no one could hear my thoughts or see my feel my emotions now. I just had to go somewhere where no one would listen. "I need a plan to take revenge on Uncle Emmett." I whispered. Mom smiled.
"Later. Now we have school, but I won't forget. I, along with your aunts, will help. C'mon, Nessie," she promised me. I smiled and set out for the door with her.
