A/N I hope you aren't too mad at me for the cliffie that was the last chapter! I wanted to see how you would all react…hehe…ill shut up now so you can enjoy the chapter!

Me: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Esme: yes, happy New Year to everyone!

Me: so, how are you today, Esme?

Esme: I'm quite fine, thank you! How about you?

Me: I'm wonderful!

Edward: hey! How come you're all nice to Esme and you treated us like shit!

Emmett: yeah!

Me: I would NEVER be mean to you guys! How could you accuse me of such a thing?

Esme: how rude of you! Leave poor Taylor alone! Edward, Emmett, go to your rooms!

Edward: crap, not again!

Emmett: ugh. This always happens to me!

The boys went and sulked to their rooms

Me: boys can be SO immature!

Esme: you got that right! Oh, she doesn't own us! Or Victoria's Secret, or…well, the only thing she really owns is the plot!

Me: that's right! READ ON, MY READERS, READ ON!

(Bella's POV)

No.

She would not drag me in this…lingerie store.

She could pull at me, and do whatever the hell she wants to, but I have the power to scream. And scream I will do.

She must have had a vision of that, because we were suddenly in the food court, and a sub was being shoved down my throat. Then, while my mouth was still full, she dragged me back inside Victoria's Secret. I growled.

With my mouth full, it was impossible to scream, as Alice knew. When I finished, I was about to say something, before she shoved more in my moth. She smiled sheepishly, while dragging me over to where the manikins were standing. There was a black piece on one of them, and there was almost nothing to it. Why even bother…

"Ohhh…" Alice wondered. She stood very still for a moment, and then came back to present times. "He'll love it!" she squealed. She shoved one of the skimpy outfits in my face. "Try this on!"

"Uh uh. No way in hell will I out this on—"

That was as far as I got before she shook something in her hands, which jingled. I looked down at it and realized that it was silver. My eyes narrowed.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh, I would. If you don't cooperate with me, your ugly little truck will have fun jumping over that cliff you had your episode on awhile ago." She raised her eyebrows.

I groaned loudly, but snatched the stupid outfit and ran into the dressing room. I tried it on, not looking in the mirror, and took it off again right away. I threw the little pile of lace into a corner and shuddered. I was about to start to put my clothes back on, when something hit my head.

"What the—"

"Just try it on!" a small voice said. "And give me the black one you just tried on." She paused, while I threw the black piece over. "Oh, and hurry up! I don't have forever!"

I ruffled through the pile that she gave m, and I found a blue one that I knew Edward would like. Sighing, I slipped it on. It was silk, and it felt nice against my skin. I actually looked in the mirror for this one, and I gasped.

I looked…looked…

"Geez, Bella, I never thought of you as vain!" Alice said. "I saw that he'll like that one the best, so throw it over and get dressed!"

I did as I was told, and I was out of the small dressing room in a couple of minutes. She took my hand and started to pull me towards the cash registers, but I stopped. We were near the bras and underwear. I really should get some, and we're her anyway…

Alice turned to see my dilemma, and smiled. We got some blue matching bras and stuff, about six pairs, and cashed out.

I was relieved when we stepped out of the store, and I froze when I saw someone staring at us. Newton.

Alice pretended not to notice, even though she knew he was there.

He just kind of stood there in surprise, because the little blue lingerie Alice bought for me was sticking out. I stifled a giggle, and walked swiftly away.

"So what now?" I asked.

"Now, we are going home."

I breathed out a sigh of relief.

In the car ride home, Alice thought of something. "Oh, I just thought of something else to get Emmett!"

"What is it?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"We have to go to the toy store!"

And with that, she fishtailed around and pulled in to Toys R Us. She grabbed me and ran into the store, snatching the last six (A/N I know, it's not likely that there would be exactly six left, but have an imagination!) Nerf Guns on the shelf. She also got A LOT of darts for them, too.

While she was checking out, she said to me, "well, not only for Emmett I guess, but for everyone. I was only going to get one originally, but I figured it would be fun for all of us."

I nodded, not sure what everyone would think of them. I mean, I knew that Emmett would love them, but what about everyone else? I can just imagine the look on Jasper's face…

It was then that I remembered what I had gotten Edward for Christmas, with my own money, not what we had gotten from VS. I had gotten him the new iPod video, with my own money. I hadn't told anyone, so they wouldn't insist on buying it with their own money. So, in other words, I didn't tell Alice.

Stupidly, when I was thinking about it, I forgot to account for the small little psychic vampire that could see what I was going to give him.

"Bella," she scolded me. "You bought that with your own money?"

I gulped. "Maybe…"

She sighed. "Edward's not going to be happy about that, you know."

"Oh well. I wanted to get him something besides what…you…got him…from me. And I wanted it to be more special then just you buying it. So, let him be mad, I'd like to see how long he would last being mad at me," I challenged her.

She was shocked at me. "Huh. I see your point, he can't be mad at you for any length of time. But, he can still blame me," she pointed out.

I shrugged. "So let him. What can he do?"

"Worse things then you can imagine. But, I see your point, I'm better at that game then he is."

"What game?"

"The game of revenge."

Oh. Right. We walked out of the store, only to find that it was raining. Not out of the ordinary. I grew to love the rain, but Alice still doesn't like it. She crinkled her nose, ands started to walk faster.

When we got back home, she dashed up the stairs faster then ever before, in hope of them not seeing the presents. She wouldn't let me carry anything inside, so I walked in at my own pace. I saw Edward on the couch, but when he noticed I was back, he quickly put something under the tree. I saw a little box that said, "Bella" in his elegant script. I shook my head as he suddenly appeared in front of me.

"What?" my love asked.

I pointed. "You promised."

"So did you."

I blushed, and he then knew that I broke the promise too. He wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Would you like to tell me why Alice is blocking her mind right now?" he asked casually.

"Nope. I have no idea why," I said, cracking a smile.

"If you really don't want to tell me, the least you can do is give me a kiss, you know," he said.

"Well I guess I could…"

I decided to play with him a bit. As he closed his eyes and waited for me to kiss his lips, I picked up his hand and kissed his palm. He looked at me, shocked.

"You never said where," I said evilly. He laughed.

"No, I guess I didn't."

"Enough of that, you lovebirds!" Alice cooed. "Christmas is in the morning, and we need to prepare!"

A/N it's somewhat a cliffie. But you don't know what Edward got Bella! Mwahaha. And I do! So, if you love me like I hope you do, then review! But I won't be able to update until this weekend…-sniff-
