Disclaimer: This is a take off on the great Stephanie Meyer's Twilight/New Moon. It takes off from after Bella's graduation. I did not create Twilight/New Moon, nor do I own it. I just write this. On with the story!
I sat there for hours on end, Alice starting over on my hair every so often, of my make-up, which she couldn't quite get right. After about 2 hours, she started over for no more than the fifth time. "Bella, err, you're supposed to hold still! This is just going to take longer!" she warned, and I ignored her, squirming sometimes, and she would mess up. "Do I have to get Esme to come up and hold you still?!" she asked another half an hour later. I didn't mind slightly bothering Alice, but Esme I didn't dare try. I sat still for the most part after that.
I didn't dare look into the mirror as Alice finished my make-up and started on my hair. She started straightening it to complete straightness, and I at one point I warned her, "Alice, if you keep that iron on my hair any longer, it'll burn." She seemed oblivious sometimes, to 'small human things' as she referred to them, sometimes. After yet another long hour, filled with me complaining, she was done with my hair.
Alice had done my hair up into a complicated style, which curled my hair and let a few pieces hang down by my face, and the wrest pulled up into a curling heap of twists, all pulled into one big bun. Then, she dragged me into her room, forcing me into a gown that was definitely not suitable for me. It was black, and it fell gracefully to my feet. It had complicated designs with little sliver jewels, in the patterns of flowers, and swirls. The dress was strapless and puffed out a little once it reached my waist. I grimaced, as Alice pulled out shoes.
The problem with these shoes that they were high. It was closed toe, and it buckled with a little silver snap in the middle. I gulped. "Um, Alice? In case you haven't noticed, I can't exactly walk on flat surfaces, try adding those." I sounded jumpy, and I inched as far away as the room would allow, from the approaching Alice. She lunged, grabbing me carefully around the waist and holding my against the wall as she slid on the death traps she called shoes.
Alice tugged me to Edwards room, supporting most of my weight, as I was dragging my feet, trying to stop her. "Alice!" I complained, "Please don't!" her patience was thinning and as Edward opened the door, wearing a tux, I tried to turn the other way, which wasn't successful. He took me from Alice with ease, taking me into his arms bridal style. I struggled against him, but it was pointless. "Now to tell you about this little deal…" he cooed in my ear, shutting the door with his foot, turning into his room.
