A/N: Okay so let me explain this story. My on the side story, which means there will be an update with every two updates of Bring Me to Life. With this update as an exception. Believe me, I've already written out the whole story in my head.

PLUS, I'm trying to write a few where it's an Alice/Bella day out, so PM me suggestions for that? (:

Anyway, I've decided to babble on about unimportant things during my author notes, so I hope you like conversation. I guess it's a way to let you guys get to know me. But enough rambling for now.

BPOV:

So avoiding Alice didn't exactly go as I had planned. Every time I went over to the Cullen's, her and Jasper would be cuddled up on the couch, or she would be sitting in the kitchen with Esme. To top that off, she's my wedding planner. Which means I gather with her about twice a week to talk wedding. So I came to the conclusion that I'd never be able to get rid of her and I should try to be her friend.

That is how I ended up here at the Cullen's. Rosalie and Emmett were celebrating their anniversary, I don't know which one because they'd been together too many years for me to count. Charlie was working as always, which led Carlisle to take Esme out to lunch. Edward was less reluctant on leaving with Jasper, but he wanted to spend some time with his best man, and I couldn't deny that boy anything. Esme told both Alice and I that we were welcome to anything in the house.

Here goes nothing, I thought as I approached Alice, who was sitting on the couch watching a rerun of "What not to Wear" (A/N: SO ALICE! I had to add that.) I gently put my hand on her shoulder, ignoring the pulse of electricity and adrenaline that pumped through my body. She turned to me and smiled tentatively. I guess everyone in the house had noticed my reluctance towards her, including Alice herself. If only she knew…

"Bella?" She asked me, her mouth twisted in an amused half smile. God when she did that, her face was so beautiful. My fingers trembled and I shoved them into my jean pockets. I bit my lip, and deliberated on how to word things to her.

So I sat down on the couch and turned to her, cross-legged. "I know you've seen my wariness towards you," She grimaced and my heart throbbed a little. "But I just wanted to let you know this is a hard time for me. Marriage, wow. I mean my parents raised me to believe that getting married was the kiss of death." I paused and lowered my eyes. "For them it was." I mumbled, hoping she didn't hear me. But when two tiny, pale arms flew across me, I knew she had. I buried my head deep into her shoulder and as much as I hated physical contact with people I didn't know, this felt so right.

I glanced at her from my eyelashes and seen her staring at me in concern. I collected myself and offered her a smile. "Anyway, I do feel some reluctance towards people I don't know. My family and I, Jasper included, have been through some rough times. I don't want any of them getting hurt, they are my life." I squeezed her arm. "I love Jasper like a brother, and now that I know you, I know you'll take care of him. He's too good a man to pass up." I licked my lips and winked at her in mock flirtation. She laughed and threw her arms around me.

"We are going to be great friends Bella, the best." Friends. Why did that word sound so wrong to me? I wanted more, so much more. I shook my head abruptly, trying to shake that. NO! You have Edward, behave yourself.

"So I was thinking we could spend the day together, classic girly style!" I squealed in actual enthusiasm. Alice seemed like a lot of fun. She nodded franticly, grinning like a mad man. "Where do we start?" I asked her, plopping back down on the couch after much jumping with Alice. She flipped out a pink cell phone and winked.

"Have you ever made a prank phone call, Bella?" She asked, smiling slightly and raising an eyebrow. I nodded reluctantly, biting my lip as nervousness filled my system. She quickly punched something in, and asked me, "What's Edwards number?" I gave it to her, and she threw me the phone. I started panicking, just staring at the phone. "Wing it!" Alice screeched excitedly.

I put the phone on speaker and we sat on the floor. Finally, Edward picked up. "Hello?" His voice was so tempting, even over the phone and with Alice sitting next to me with our legs touching. I resisted the urge to laugh as I put on my best Paris Hilton impersonator voice.

"Hi there big boy." I purred, and Alice clapped a hand over her mouth. Silence. So I tried again. "Do you have a name there handsome?" I head his sharp intake of breath, before he answered short and slowly. "Emmett, Emmett Swan." That was it, I threw the phone at Alice and ran to the bathroom. As soon as I got there, I lent my head back and laughed harder then I have ever in my life. I slowly crept out the door and back to the living room where Alice was still positioned on the floor, a huge grin on her flawless face. She threw me a thumbs up before she turned her attention back to the phone.

"How did you get this number?!" She asked him in a frantic voice. I cocked an eyebrow in curiosity, but she just held up one finger. "You called me. ." Edward said slowly.

Alice bit her lip, and slapped herself on the forehead. She was really into prank calls. "Oh silly me. Right, well I meant to ask you. Is Jeremy home?" There was a pause. "There's no Jeremy here." Edward said.

She sighed it mock exasperation. "Do you know where he is then?" I sat down beside her, giggling into my hand. "No, I don't know who Jeremy is." He said, obviously annoyed. Alice grinned at me, "Did I ask you that? No, I asked where he was!" She yelled into the phone, clearly enjoying herself. Then she looked at me and spoke into the phone very slowly. "Excuse me, is Jeremy home?" Click. Edward hung up, and we looked at each other with wide eyes before collapsing onto the floor into laughter. (A/N: TRUE STORY. Haha, I had to put this in here.)

I got the best idea then. I grabbed my own cell phone and called Edward back. He answered on the second ring. "Bella," He breathed into the phone and I giggled. "Edward. I have to ask you something." I looked at Alice and winked, and she bit on her fist to stop laughing, obviously knowing what was going on.

"Go ahead my love." He said, clearly relieved that it was me who was calling. I cleared my throat and put on the most serious voice I could muster. "Is Jeremy home?" Then I hung up before he could answer. We literally rolled around laughing before we calmed down enough to slap high fives. "What now?" I asked. She smiled at me, "Movie time!" She screamed, loud enough so the neighbours could here. The Cullen's don't have neighbours for miles.

Ten minutes later, we were situated on the hardwood floor each wrapped in a blanket. We had a bowl of dill pickle flavoured popcorn in the middle, a can of doctor pepper each on the side and a box of tissues. Alice popped in "P.S I Love You" into the DVD player, and we were set. The movie started and she turned to me gushing, "Isn't the lead so hot?!" I nodded in agreement, Gerard Butler was amazingly gorgeous. So we spent the rest of the movie drooling over Gerard, bawling our eyes out and pigging out on food. By the time the movie was done, it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

I lent back against the couch, turning to Alice. "Now what do you want to do? Everyone won't be back until around 5:30." I was a little reluctant to let anyone come back, today was one of the most amazing days of my life. I proved to myself that I could keep close to Alice without these weird feelings being known, and I got a new best friend and an exciting day as a package deal. "Oh wait, I have an idea!" I exclaimed. "Lets just ask things about each other. I mean you're officially my new best friend and I don't even know your favourite colour!"

"Pink." She responded automatically. I grinned. "Mine's chartreuse, because it's unique." She pursed her lips a little in thought, and then smiled and nodded in approval.

"Favourite activity?" She asked me. I shrugged, my answer was boring. "Books. I love to read." I had read every classic on the shelf. "My favourite is Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice." She clapped her hands. "Well that's different, I like to shop. Shopping is my job actually, I do dress Jasper." She proceeded to wink suggestively at me and I cringed at the mental picture.

I learnt a lot about Alice that day. She was born in Mississippi, is an only child, has almost three dressers full of clothes and loves to dance spontaneously. Her favourite flower is a white rose and she loves the colours of a sunset. Her dad got a job in Seattle and they moved down here when she was in the 8th grade. She met Jasper at her cousins party in the 10th grade, and she had harboured a crush on him. It was about a year later that Jasper finally figured out that she was in love with him and they've been together since. Her celebrity crush is Ashton Kutcher, and her guilty pleasure is watching Hannah Montana on the weekends when no one's home. She cares about her family, and would throw herself in front of a moving bus to save them. During high school, everyone thought she was a freak and ignored her, leaving her to fend by herself. After that, she became suicidal and started cutting herself, until one day she went too far and lost too much blood. Her mother found her just in time, and she spent a few weeks in the hospital trying to heal herself. Meeting Jasper brought her out of her shell and realised life was too short to waste it, and that's where her bubbly personality and excess energy came from.

How could anyone hate this beautiful, unique creature. I told her all about me, and after that we sat in silence and cried together for almost an hour. Around four, we made dinner and ate it together at the small kitchen table, talking and laughing like long lost friends. Her fanatical attitude was contagious, so I found myself dancing aimlessly while I cleaned our dishes and Alice dried them. I stole a glance at her and realised that she was doing the same thing with her eyes closed, mouthing out song words. "Let's dance!" I exclaimed to her after our dishes were done. I turned on the radio and one of my favourite songs came on.

We both looked at each other grinning, and said in unison, "That's my favourite song!" Then we broke out in a fit of giggles and ran out into the living room. I jumped up on the table and started shaking my hips as I belted out the first verse.

"There will be no rules tonightIf there were we'd break 'emNothing's gonna stop us nowLet's get down to it"

Alice was twirling around the table gracefully, bobbing her head up and down with her hands making circles in the air. She smiled and winked at me as she sung the next part.

"Nervous hands and anxious smilesI can feel you breathingThis is right where we belongTurn up the music"

I jumped off the table next to her as we both screamed out, "Oh oh, oh, oh, Oh!" We jumped up and down on the couch, singing together and singing solos at random parts. Sometimes we'd forget the lyrics to a certain song so we'd just scream out nonsense. We twirled together across the hardwood floor in a waltz position, grinning and laughing as I spun Alice around and around until she fell down from the dizziness. She glared at me and I tried to run away, but she grabbed my ankle and tripped me.

Needless to say I fell flat on my face, much to Alice's enjoyment. I grabbed a pillow off the couch and swatted her in the face with it. She gasped and stumbled backwards in shock, giving me a chance to bolt up the stairs before she grabbed a pillow and chased after me. I was doing great until I reached the third floor and tripped on the last step, landing on my knees and letting Alice finally catch up to me. She hit me on the back hard with the pillow until it busted and the feathers got all in our hair.

Much to my surprise, she took that opportunity to jump on my back and shout, "Giddy up!" I laughed and ran down the stairs, with her attached to my back. We reached the living room and I was spinning around in circles until we heard 6 sets of footsteps enter the room. It distracted me enough to trip over my own feet, sending me and Alice sprawling backwards. I looked up to see the amused looking faces of Esme, Rosalie, Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper, and the peeved face of Edward. I then remember the phone call and glanced back to Alice, who had the same amused smirk as the one on my face. Our eyes widened and we started laughing uncontrollably. It continued until Esme stepped forward.

"Girls, what happened when we were away? And, why are you covered in feathers?" (A/N: I had too.) I clambered to my feet and pulled Alice up as well. We both ran our hands through our hair and all over our clothes. You could stuff Emmett with all the feathers that had collected on the ground. Esme's glare was scolding and I glanced at the floor ashamed. "Sorry Esme." Alice and I murmured at the same time.

She sighed and said sternly, "You should be," Then she paused. "How could you have a pillow fight without Rosalie and I? Have you no shame?!" She laughed a little and winked. "You girls looked like you had fun and I'm glad. Now clean this mess up." She grabbed Carlisle hand and went into the kitchen. Rosalie and Emmett went up to the guest room, ugh. So that left Alice, Edward, Jasper and I in the living room. The boys sat on the couch while me and Alice scurried around cleaning up our mess. About 15 minutes later we were situated in the living room along with the boys.

Alice was on the floor leaning against Jasper's legs and I was sprawled across the loveseat with my head in Edward's lap. Every time I looked at him, I would giggle a little which caused Alice to join me and the boys to look at us like we were mental patients. "So," Jasper spoke as he lent forward and put his chin on Alice's head and ran his fingers through her hair. "Did you girls have fun?"

Before I could answer, Alice shot up, knocking Jasper off her head. "We had the most amazing time boys. Didn't we Bella?! Yes, Bella and I are going to be best friends." Her eyes rang with such sincerity that my own eyes strung with tears. I could be her best friend. Her sanctuary, her confident. I would offer her my love in any way possible.

I don't remember much after that, but I do remember waking up sometime later. I got up and stumbled into the kitchen to glance at the clock. 3:30am, we must have fallen asleep. I'm sure Emmett told Charlie about it, he was here before I left and I don't hear any screaming. I ran my hands under the cold water and splashed my face with it. I was completely awake, probably because I fell asleep at like 6:00. I was making hot chocolate when I felt a hand on my shoulder that almost made me drop my mug.

I turned around and was met with instant relief. "Alice, I thought you were a burglar." I told her honestly. She laughed in a sort of hushed whisper. "Couldn't sleep either?" I asked her. She shook her head and took a seat at the kitchen table. I pulled out an extra mug as I moved my feet to an imaginary song in my head and hummed quietly. I slid the hot chocolate mug across the table for her as I sat down on the opposite side. We sipped our cups in comfortable silence, occasionally smiling at each other.

After a while, we started talking about everything and anything. Wedding plans mostly, but some other random topics. We were laughing and smiling just like earlier in the day and everything felt right. I felt like I was meant to have Alice in my life, no matter which way. Though my body always craved her in something much more than a friend.

As we entered the living room, we both stopped short at the scene in front of us. Jasper was stretched out on the sofa on his side, with his arms in a circle that looked perfect for Alice to fit. Edward had his head back and his hands were on his lap and stroking the air, where my head should be.

Alice gave me a quick hug as she climbed into Jasper's waiting arms. Where she belonged, and where I shouldn't be. I couldn't have her in that way, and that was fine with me. If only I could tell my heart the same thing.

A/N: I now present to you, four pages of pure Bella/Alice fluff. The longest thing I have ever written, no lie! So the phone call, that seriously happened to me. So funny, I had to add it. Plus, I thought this was the perfect time to add Alice's background into this. Pay close attention, it'll come in handy later!
