Right now I am suffering from extreme writer's block. –pounds head into wall- Who know fluff could be so hard to create? I think I'll let Alice win the battle in my head: looks like Bella is in for a shopping trip! Sisterly bonding time. Annnnnd, for those of you who still don't know: I do not own Twilight, or any of its sequels. Weep for me…

BPOV:

"Come on, Bella! You're dragging us down!" Alice yanked my arm harshly, almost tripping me. But of course she caught me before that.

After an hour of begging and pleading I had finally given in. In the time it took for me to blink, Alice had strapped me into Rose's M3, and we were zooming off to California. Apparently, the stores left 'much to be desired' in good ol' Washington, so Rose insisted we drive all the way to Los Anglos. This at least explained why I had to skip school for this shopping trip.

Rosalie sighed at the entrance of a fancy boutique and turned back to us. "I can't wait until Edward changes you so you can keep us with us."

"Somehow, I doubt I would be able to keep with you two even then." I bent over, my hands on my knees, to catch my breath. Stupid vampires and their superhuman speed, I thought angrily.

Not only was I out of breath from running to keep up with these two, but from trying to convince them not to spend so much money on me. Alice didn't even bother to acknowledge my pleas anymore. She just shook her head and brandished one of her many credit cards at the cashiers. "It's customary to shower the bride with gifts, Bella!" I hated the idea of Alice and Rosalie spending so much money on my. But I wasn't so much of an idiot to try to refuse clothes from Alice. Looks can be deceiving; she could be very scary when she wanted.

Her patience at an end, Rosalie scooped me into her arms to carry me into the shop. "Rose!" I squeaked out as she sat me on a sofa in the changing rooms. Whatever happened to remaining inconspicuous? But she was too busy attacking a line of expensive mini skirts to take any notice. Likewise, Alice was shifting through the rack of designer blouses. Every so often she would lift one up to me, then almost immediately throw it to a side.

I barely had time to cool down before Rosalie shoved me into a large changing room. Alice followed and snapped the door shut. I shuddered as I realized they were both armed with piles of clothes. "Oh no! No way! Not all those are for me?" Both beautiful vampire burst out laughing.

"Oh course, silly!" Alice hung her selections on a rank next to the mirror. "I already know which one's you'll like, but little miss Rose wants to input some opinions too." She jumped in front of the door; evidently, she knew I was planning to make a break for it.

"Not. A. Chance." She smirked with a quiet growl. "Do I have to dress you myself?" Her threatening voice left not room for compromise. So I groaned and picked my way through their choices.

There was no debating it; they both had a flair for fashion. But while Alice's selections were all shades of blues and comfortable, Rose's were a rainbow of colors, and most too revealing to ever wear in public. I blushed constantly as I tried on Rosalie's choice mini skirts, tight jeans, and tube tops.

"Rosalie! There is no way I'd ever wear this!" I said turning to show Alice a skintight flapper skirt that was longer then it was wide. Alice giggled as I tried to pull the skirt lower on my thigh. "Urgh! I officially hate this skirt!"

Rose was stubborn and didn't want to give me an inch. Her voice was low. "Edward would love it." I looked at her incredulously. "Well, it's true! I mean Emmett loves those kind of skirts on me." She looked to her diminutive sister for back up. "Alice, settle this once and for all: would Edward not love this skirt on Bella?"

Alice fell to the floor laughing. "Sorry Bella! She's totally right! Oh my! His face!" I blushed deeper then ever while Rosalie smiled triumphantly at me. Alice attempted in vain to form an understandable sentence. "Edward- skirt- oh!" She doubled over laughing again.

We finally left the store an hour later, laden with bags of my clothes. Alice rushed off to store them in the M3 while Rose took me to get something to eat. I moodily slurped my soda as Rosalie watched me intently. "Is watching me stuff my face really so entertaining?" I mumbled. Alice came up behind me, snickering.

"Actually, it is!" She took the sit to my right. "I can't even remember eating human food! But I guess since I've grown so accustomed to our way of hunting, your way looks like gross." She stared at my food. "Hurry up, okay? I have a few more stores I wanna hit."

I downed the rest of my cheeseburger in a rush. The table was cleared an instant later and I was being pulled into yet another store. My eyes widened when I realized what they sold in here. But I couldn't even find my voice to yell at Alice and Rose. Nor could I find my strength to run away.

Rose watched as my face paled. "Um… You okay?" When I didn't answer, she shook Alice. "Hey, Bella looks sick! Is she okay?" Alice hurried to my side.

At that second my voice returned. "Lingerie!?" Heat rushed up to my face when the other customers turned to stare at my outburst. But I focused my anger at the laughing sisters. "I am so gone." I swung around to make an escape, but Rose caught me. "Rose," I pleaded. "Don't make me stay in here!"

But she shook her head. "Come on. You're getting married next week; I think you'll need this stuff." I stared my burning face to the floor at the implications. She dragged me back to Alice muttering "virgins" while rolling her eyes. They shifted through the racks like women with a mission. I couldn't bear to watch, so I sat and glared at the carpet. Luckily, they didn't make me try anything on, so this took less time.

A very awkward twenty minutes later, I was escorted out of the store between the two of them. "Oh, don't be a sourpuss. We promise not to tell Edward we dragged you in there." I was skeptical because of Alice's wicked grin, but Rose interceded. "We'll even block our minds. Promise!" She shocked me by hugging me. I hugged her back and beamed.

"So, where to next?"

0- o O o -0

Someone prodded me constantly. "Bella, we're at your house. So wake up already." I opened an eye blearily to see Alice at my open car door. I stretched and unbuckled my seat. Due to my sleepy continence, I promptly slumped out of the car. Alice pushed my arm around her shoulder as she helped me to my front door. "You must really be tired." Rose, carrying a few bags, followed after us.

Charlie opened the door for us, smiling down at us. "Busy shopping day, ladies?" He offered to take the bags, but Rose just smiled. "It's okay. I'm stronger then I look." Very dazzled, Charlie froze at the doorway as she passed him.

I gained some of my leg power back as we made our way up the stairs. Alice dropped me on my bed as Rose stuffed the bags in my closet. To my surprise, the rest of the bags were already stuffed in there. My new blonde sister grinned as she closed the closet doors. Renee hesitantly walked into my room. "Bella? Are you okay?"

Alice laughed quietly at the foot of my bed. "She's okay Mrs. Dwyer." My mother gasped at the small girl's alluring voice. "We must have tired her out from our shopping." Alice hugged me and kissed my cheek. "See you at school tomorrow!"

Rosalie did the same. "Take care of yourself. And don't you even think of returning the clothes! Let your new sisters shower you with gifts, just this once. Okay?" She waved and closed the door after her.

Renee took Alice spot on my bed. "New sisters?" She smoothed the covers over.

I turned on my side, closing my eyes, "Well yeah. Edward's siblings will be my siblings too. You know how I've always wanted brothers and sisters." And I can't imagine any better sisters then those too. "They are all really wonderful. I've thought of them all as my family for quite sometime, and I guess they feel the same way."

My mother kissed my forehead. "They seem very nice. I'll let you get some sleep now. Night Bella." She closed the door quietly.

A second later, I felt a cold body join me in bed. "I've missed you." I whispered as I turned my body to face him. His golden eyes softly stared into mine as he kissed my lips.

"As have I. Today seemed to drag on forever." I cuddled against his body as he spoke. The fragrance coming of his chest overwhelmed me. Edward's head rested on my shoulder, kissing my hair. "Kissing you tastes so good." He said in between kisses.

I closed my eyes to the coolness of his lips. "Then don't ever stop." I murmured. That trip really did take a toll on me. I was quickly losing the battle to stay awake.

Edward realized this, lowering his voice further. "I don't plan on it." And I fell asleep to my angel, humming my lullaby in my ear.
