A/N: Thanks for all of your guys' reviews! I'm sorry this took awhile again to update. I don't know why it took a long time either! So I hope you guys like this chapter, it's just the beginning of a very fun-filled weekend. XD I think there's going to be a few more chapters after this weekend shopping spree and then I'll be done.

A Lost Bet

Sister Bonding, Brother Bonding

BPOV

"Here we are, Bella! New York City." I look around me. There are tall skyscrapers and a lot of apartments. Tons of taxis flood the streets. I smile to myself.

"Reminds me of Phoenix."

"Really? I think New York City is more, uh, busier." Alice says as she tries to find our hotel. I look around some more and watch all the people walking along the crowded sidewalks. Each of them are in their own little worlds. And here they don't even realize that there are three of the most dangerous creatures in the world, feet away from them.

"I guess... but the way the city is, it reminds me of being back in my old home." Alice smiles.

"Do you miss it?"

"Phoenix? No. If Edward isn't there then there really isn't anything to miss." Rosalie grunts.

"Rose, do you have anything to say?" Alice turns her head and Rosalie shakes her head.

"Sorry."

"It's okay... Alice, where are we going?" I look around some more to find we're almost at Times Square.

"We're almost there!" We pull up in front of the hotel. Hilton Garden Inn.

"Alice? A Hilton? That's expensive!!" I hiss out she rolls her eyes.

"Relax, Bella, this is a pretty cheap hotel compared to the others. Your lucky we didn't got to the Four Seasons hotel. This was Edward's idea." I smile, silently thanking Edward for letting this be a cheap weekend... for the most part.

The valet parker comes up to Alice's window and opens the door for her. The other bell hoppers opens the door for me, and helps me and Rosalie out. "Thank you boys." Alice says and I turn away from her, not looking at how much she's tipping them. Rosalie and I walk in to the lobby, and my mouth drops. This can not be a cheap hotel. It's so... modern.

"Alice?" She stands next to me with a smile on her face.

"What? A cheap hotel doesn't have to look cheap." She laughs as we walk up to the main desk. Rosalie flips her hair and leans against the desk. The girl behind it glares at her. She's so pretty, why is she so pretty? I chuckle, trying to hold back my laughter. I hate her. God, why can't I be as pretty as her?

"Hello. Can I help you?" She speaks roughly.

"We have a reservation here. Under, Cullen?" Alice replies and the girl stares at her for a few seconds. She's pretty too, but a lot nicer... I like her.

"Cullen you said?" Alice nods and the girl looks up our name on the computer. "Right, you're in room 418. Here are your keys. And I hope you guys have a nice stay here at the Hilton Garden Inn." She puts on a fake smile and we thank her before turning towards the elevator. We're followed in to the elevator by the bell hop who's bringing our bags up. I feel bad for him, considering how much crap we all have.

The bell hop stands in the corner of the elevator, staring in front of him, but sneaking glances at us. I don't blame him, it's a human instinct to be afraid of us. But the sad thing is, is that he doesn't even know he's in danger. The doors open in to a hallway and we walk down to our room.

"418!" Alice jumps up and down. "We're here!"

Alice puts the key in and opens the door. We walk in and I gasp. It's beautiful. There are two queen sized beds with red comforters. There's a big tv on an entertainment center and a desk. It's a little small, but I like it. "This is the hotel room you reserved?" Rosalie sneers.

"Hey, Edward wanted to be a part of the weekend. He wanted to make sure Bella was going to be comfortable!" I smile again.

"He did?" Alice nods.

"Isn't that romantic?" Alice plops on to the bed with a huge smile on her face. Rosalie rolls her eyes.

"Romantic isn't how I'd put it, but whatever. So when are we going to start shopping?" Rosalie smirks. I groan, falling down on to the other bed face first.

"We should start now. I mean we only have a weekend."

"Only a weekend?" I repeat Alice's last words. I sit up and stare at her. She smiles and nods. "Are you kidding me? How many stores are there?"

"Lots." Alice pulls me up on my feet and she and Rose both drag me out of the room. "Don't worry, Bella, you're going to have lots of fun this weekend. You won't even realize how much money you're spending."

"What?!" Alice and Rosalie smirk as we enter the elevator.

EPOV

I lie on my bed, hoping that Bella's going to have a good time with my sisters. They can be kind of... high-strung, when it comes to shopping in New York City. I'm thankful that Alice let me pick out the hotel for them. I know how Bella is when it comes to us spending money for her. I had given her my Gold Card to use, although I doubt she'd use it.

I just want her to have fun. Be human, even if she's not. I sigh, and Emmett comes crashing in to my room.

"Come on, let's go have some fun while the girls are away!" Jasper stands by the doorway. "Let's do some male bonding."

"Male bonding?" I ask as Emmett looks at me with his puppy dog eyes.

"Yes, male bonding. Us guys go out and bond. Come on Edward, guys can have just as much fun as the girls do." Emmett pleads me. Please, please, please? He asks in my head. I roll my eyes.

"You're just as bad as Alice." Jasper laughs at my comment.

"Trust me he's only half." Jasper and I laugh as Emmett stares at us.

"Come on, let's go out and hunt or something. I don't know what do guys do nowadays?"

"Um, I think they play sports. You know, like football." Jasper replies.

"Great! Let's go play football? Any one have a football?" Emmett starts to bounce like Alice.

"No, Emmett, we don't have a football. Because last time you broke it." I reply and Emmett pouts.

"It wasn't my fault."

Jasper and I both laugh hysterically as memories of him breaking the football flood our minds. He was so upset that Rosalie got passed him and scored a touchdown that he squeezed the ball so hard that it popped. His face was so priceless because it was so unexpected. I think Alice was the only one expecting the ball to pop, because she was laughing before it even happened.

"Sure it wasn't." I say as I walk out of my room, followed by Emmett.

"So does this mean we're going to play?"

"Yes, Emmett, we're going to go out to the store, buy a football and play." I confirm his questions. He claps loudly.

"Great! It'll be me against you two."

"Is that really fair?" Jasper asks winking at me.

"Yeah, I mean, I can beat the two of you with no trouble." Emmett boasts. I start to laugh.

"No, what he means, is it fair for you? Having the fastest and the most tactful people playing on one team?" Emmett rolls his eyes.

"I'll get Carlisle to play on my team." We head for the front door.

"What am I playing?" Carlisle asks and we all turn to face him. He has a smile on his face.

"Football. On Emmett's team." Carlisle smirks.

"Okay, when are we playing?"

"As soon as we get a football."

"Oh, there already is a football in the garage. Alice told me you might be needing it this weekend." We all laugh at how Alice is always prepared for the whole family.

"Great! Let's play!!" Emmett runs out of the house and in to the front yard. We all roll our eyes before we head out. Jasper goes in to the garage and grabs the football. Carlisle and Emmett are plotting together on how they're going to get passed me and Jasper. Jasper smiles at me and I smile back.

Being telepathic is the best for these types of games.


A/N: So next chapter will be Shopping in NYC and maybe a glimpse of the game, if not that'll be the chapter after that. I do need help though, has anyone been in NYC? Can you tell me what kind of stores there are? That would be awesome.

Okay, you know what to do now. Please review!
