Sighing, I wondered when Bella would stop being so stubborn! "Alice!" she wined. "C'mon, let me go! I don't want to do the dress fitting!" She was standing in her room with only her tank top and shorts on.

"Bella, can't you be patient? We have to do the dress fitting. Just wear the dress, give me like 10 minutes, and everything will be over!" With a grunt and a pout, she lifted her arms up, waiting. I clapped and went to her bed to grab the dress. Once I came back, Bella and I worked together to slide her through the dress. After we had zipped the zippers and buttoned the buttons, I stood back to get a look. The dress was white and silver, fitting her snugly. It was a tube top, and had a "mermaid tail" look at the end. The embroidery and flower design was all silver. The dress looked good on her, but I knew that it would look WAY better with the right hair, makeup, and shoes. I plastered a smile on my face, but Bella could see through my ploy.

"You want to fix the rest of me, don't you?" Bella sighed. I sheepishly nodded, while Bella grunted.

"And you won't let me take you shopping, will you?" I inquired, even though I knew the answer. Sheepishly, she nodded too. With a sigh, I said, "Alright, Rose and I'll go shopping for you." I could see Bella's eyebrows life up in surprise. Usually, it took over an hour for her to convince me to leave her behind. But it was no use since Bella was as stubborn as a mule. Plus, it cuts into my shopping time! "Just put the dress back in the bag, and meet me at my house in 1 hour… ok make that 2…. No 3!" I pondered how long I would be gone.

"Alice! Alice!" Bella snapped me out of my daze. "You can stop now… 3 hours is good enough…anyway, I'll be over already… I'm seeing Edward," she said. I smiled and said okay. As I was about to walk out the door, I leaned back into the room.

"By the way," I started. "Edward will probably be a little busy." I smiled mischievously and left.

I smiled and my heart melted as I looked up at the store. Rose and I were in front of the Bridal Store… well, to me, we were in front of paradise. Just when I thought things couldn't get any better, I saw a sign that nearly made me faint. I squealed in delight as I saw the 50% OFF GIANT BLOWOUT SALE sign. "Geez Al, can you try not to shriek in my ear?" Rose muttered. "Why are you shrieking anyway?" I pointed to the blissful sign. With a sigh, Rose muttered something unintelligible. "Let's just go inside… and remember, only shoes! We still need to hit Victoria's Secret for the makeup and Breeze Salon for the hair appointment!" Rose nagged. With a sigh and a glare, I headed into the store. In two hours, I had seen half the store. Everyone agrees that I shop the slowest for a human! The problem was that I kind of forgot to hit the shoes. I noticed Rosalie near the dresses, and was relieved that she hadn't realized that I forgot our "mission". I darted my way across the store to the shoes. After 5 minutes of checking the shoes, Rose made her way to where I was. "So, found anything yet?" she inquired. I shook my head no, and she sighed.

"Just give me like, 1 more hour," I muttered.

"You need one more hour?" Rose shrieked. "You've been here for 2 hours already, Al!" Out of utter disbelief, I checked my watch. Holy crap!

"Alright, give me 5 minutes!" I said quickly.

"That's more like it," Rose muttered. I quickly scanned the shoe section. After exactly 4 minutes, my eyes landed upon something absolutely glorious. The silver shoes looked like they were made for Bella's dress, with a design exactly the same as her dress. I heard a faint "aaahhh" and saw a spotlight on the shoes. Wondering where the noise was coming from, I noticed a choir around the corner from the store, and a repairman with a spotlight in the store. Oh, I thought grumpily. Oh well, the shoes were still perfect! I grabbed them and headed to the counter where I ran into Rose. I showed her the shoes and she agreed that they were just what Bella needed. After we paid, we headed of to Victoria's Secret and found awesome shades of makeup for Bella. Finally, we made the appointment at Breeze salon and headed out of the mall. As we were walking to the car, I sadly stared back at the mall. Till we meet again, mall…

"Are you two okay?" I asked skeptically. I had just witnessed the most awkward moment of my life. Well, actually, it was so awkward that I'm not even sure it happened! Jasper just ordered me to go change into my wedding tuxedo, while Emmett said he would get the hair gel to find a suitable hairstyle for me.

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine Edward, thanks," Jasper replied with an exasperated sigh. "Just get yourself upstairs and start changing… we still have to do your hair, make adjustments to your tuxedo, etc…"Emmett said.

"You do realize that the wedding is a week away right?" I asked.

"Yes we do," they replied. Though their faces were set into "strict mode", I could see more than that in their eyes. They were bored as hell! Suddenly, I felt as though I put the last piece in a jigsaw puzzle.

My eyes narrowed as I accused, "Alice and Rose put you two up to this." They said no, but were unable to hide their sheepish grins. I grunted under my breath, and asked, "So what'll they give you in return?"

"Nothing," they replied. "We don't need anything." I felt touched by that response, so with a sigh, I got up off of the brown leather couch and trudged upstairs. If Alice and Rose are bad, I wonder how bad Jasper and Emmett could be…

Once I reached my room and sat on my bed, Jasper buzzed around the room. He got some pins, a suit marker, a sewing kit and some scissors. "Err… why are you getting torture devices?" I asked. "Because we need to fix your suit… pronto," Jazz replied. I could sense the urgency in his eyes, but I knew that I was not going to cooperate with this even if I tried… Jazz dumped all the supplies onto the bed that was already full of other junk. Then, he ran back to my closet to get my tuxedo. "Strip!" he ordered, closing the door. "But Jazz, I really don't want to change! The wedding is far away. Plus, this takes way too long!" I whined. This is getting ridiculous. "Just do it Edward. Please!" Jazz begged. I grunted a bit, but complied. I took off my clothes and put the tuxedo on instead. It was itchy, stiff, and a terrible color. But, I realized that I had to do this for Bella. I closed my eyes and put my arms out, waiting for Jazz to finish taking marks, cutting, etc. Suddenly, I heard the creek of the door opening. My eyes opened in a flash, but all I saw was Emmett. He looked bored and out of place with the bottle of hair gel in his hand. Jazz had turned around too, noticing the same boredom I did. So he took the hair gel out of Emmett's hands, dropped what he was doing, and started fidgeting with my hair. After about 2 hours, just as I was about to fall asleep, Jasper and Emmett announced that they were done. I opened my eyes and curiously went to the nearest full body mirror. I saw my eyes bulge out in surprise, because I actually looked pretty good. The suit was black Armani, and the cufflinks stood out. Somehow, they had managed to change my shoes as well, switching my sneakers for black, sleek shoes. My hair was smoothed back and looked… well, better! I turned around to see Emmett and Jazz wearing satisfactory smiles. Oh geez. They're Alice and Rose clones!! L
