Disclaimer: I don't own any of the wonderful Stephenie Meyer's work, I just own the twist I put into it in this story.

A/N: Okay, I am so sorry for the long update, but I've finally got most of my problems sorted, and I should have the next chapter up by Sunday at most, because I have a four-day weekend because of Thanksgiving. Please review!!!

Chapter 5 - Edward

BELLA'S POV

I woke up the next morning wondering where I was at. It took me about five seconds to realize that I was in Edward's room. Then I slowly realized I was in his bed, with my arm wrapped around him. I quickly pulled my arm away, embarrassed. The sudden movement made Edward stir, and he rolled over, nearly bumping into me.

"Oh, sorry," he said, then his eyes brightened, almost fully awake now. "Did you change your mind?"

I rolled my eyes. "Obviously, unless you kidnapped me from the couch and took me up here. Which, by the way, is very comfortable. I just might steal your mattress." I smiled and sat up, gasping at the sight in front of me.

His bed was placed directly across the wall-size window, so that if you were sitting up against the bedpost, you could see directly outside, overlooking the mountains. Which was exactly where I was sitting. The view was amazing. You could see everything: mountains, trees, the river beside his house. It was truly a wonderful sight.

"Wow. That is...wow," was all I could say about the wonderous sight in front of me. He chuckled.

"Yes, it is," he said. I looked up at him and smiled. It's funny how all I did was smile when I looked at him. I scooted over towards him and leaned my head on his shoulder. He put his arm around me and pulled me closer. It was just a small gesture, but it made my heart inflate so big I thought it was going to burst.

Soon I heard my stomach grumble. Edward laughed. "I guess it's time to eat breakfast. Come on, I think I smell pancakes." We soon reached the kitchen and, sure enough, Esme had made a bunch of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and french toast. At first I thought it would be too much, but that was before Emmett started eating.

"Emmett! Stop eating like such a pig!" Rosalie snapped at him. He looked to Rosalie and swallowed the food that was in his mouth.

"Sorry...," he said and hung his head. Edward laughed. Emmett raised his head to glare at Edward and then turned to Rosalie and smiled. She smiled back, which I found astounding. I didn't think I had ever seen Rosalie smile like that to anyone.

"Rosalie and Emmett are together," Edward whispered so no one else would hear.

"Like, together as in dating?"

"Yes. So are Jasper and Alice. We were adopted, remember that." Oh, well that explained a lot.

"Oh, okay. That makes a little more sence," I said, smiling that I understood. "And you?"

He looked surprised at my question. "Nobody. Before I moved here I had never found anyone that I've thought of like that," he said, and smiled. The way he worded that puzzled me, but I let it go.

"Uh-huh. So your saying you've never met anybody? At all?" This I could not believe.

"Well -"

"Hey! We need to discuss our next part in your makeover, Bella," Alice interupted. Dang it, Alice.

"Oh...yeah. Alright."

"Well, come on, then!" And she grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the table. "Oh, wait, I forgot my manners. Are you finished?" I rolled my eyes.

"Might as well be, I probably wouldn't get a decent meal in with you bothering me to hurry up anyway."

"It's scary how much you know me, Bella. Come on!" And she pulled me up the stairs without another word.

"Okay, now, the next part in your, um, let's call it a "transformation", will be to get you a date. Do you have any on mind?" I was really hoping she wouldn't leave this choice to me. Sort of. I shudder to think who she might pick for me if I couldn't choose.

"Um. I'm not sure Alice, I mean, I've never really thought...," was my answer. Actually I had, but I didn't think it was possible, that there was no way he would want to go on a date with me.

"Don't give me that, I know there has to be somebody you think of like that. Come on, now, tell me. Please?" She gave me the puppy-dog face again. I hate it when she does that. That face manipulates people so easily.

"Alright! I'll tell you, just please don't give me that face. It's not fair. And you can't laugh," I added. Alice nodded. "Well, ever since I met you guys I've kinda liked Edward. Well, I mean, it's not like I ever thought that anything would happen between us, because that's just absurd but you know, the thought has always just been there and...yeah." I said all of that in one breath, not even realizing it. That was the first time I had ever told anyone about my liking of Edward Cullen.

Alice squealed. "That's so great! You like my brother! Ooh, this is going to be so much fun, let's plan a date for you guys!"

"NO! Alice, he doesn't think of me like that, you can't just set up a date!" I nearly shouted.

"Come on, Bella, everyone has noticed. You can't seriously be that oblivious," she said.

"Notice what?"

Alice looked taken aback. "You are serious! We have all noticed, or at least Rosalie and me, and we talked about it. We think, no, we know, that he likes you. The way he looks at you, and talks to you, and just how he is when he is around you is proof of that!" I just stared back at her, taking it in.

"Are you saying...do you mean...you've seen those things?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes, Bella, I've seen all of those things. He really does like you. I have never seen him look at someone like that. Really. And I've known him for a long time. I think this could work. Now, just listen. You are going to ask Edward out on a date, okay? When he says yes, -"

"But what if he -"

"Don't inturrupt! When he says yes, and you've got the date all settled, I'm going to get you all dressed up and get you ready for the date. you are going to look amazing!"

I sighed. "I suppose I can do that."

"Perfect! Alright, now all we need to do is go through the do's and don't's of a date."

While she went on about the do's and don't's about a date (with me barely listening), I thought about what I had gotten myself into. I had to go on a date. I had never gone on a date before. I also had to get all dressed up, which I didn't particularly enjoy. But that's not what was going on in my mind the most, my conscience screaming it out at me.

I had to figure out how to ask Edward Cullen out on a date.
