Ch 12
Alice clapped her hands excitedly. "Look out mall, here we come!"
(BPOV)
We've been in the mall for hours but there was no stopping Alice when she was on a mission. Poor Edward had to carry all the many bags. When ever I offered to take a couple of bags he refused saying 'I'm use to it' or 'I'd prefer you pay more attention to where you are walking. We don't want another accident'.
Alice and Rose had been dragging me in and out of dressing rooms all day. Eventually, I couldn't handle it anymore. "Alice, can we stop," seeing the look on her face I changed my request. "Can I please take a break?" I tried.
She sighed, "Fine Bella, you have five minutes to take a breather, then it's back to work missy." Alice left for a different store while I sat on a nearby bench. Edward came and sat next to me.
Laying my head against his shoulder I heard my stomach grumble. Edward chuckled, "Feeding time?" Getting off the bench he picked up the bags and led me to the food court.
He bought some Chinese food and we sat at one of the tables in the corner.
I ate while Edward watched.
"Why aren't you eating?" I asked.
"I had a big breakfast." He answered. Shrugging it off I finished the meal then I heard the high squeaky voice behind me. "There you are!" Alice looked angry. "I gave you five minutes and you took advantage of my generosity."
"Alice, give her a break, we've been at it all day." Edward defended.
Her eyes captured mine and I couldn't look away. "Is this true Bella? Am I being too tiring for you?"
Gulping, I shrugged.
"Fine," she said sticking her little nose in the air. "Edward, go play with Bella while I finish shopping; I'm pretty sure I know your sizes." She walked away quickly with Rose at her side.
"Is she mad?" I asked.
"Of course not; Truth is, I think we've actually been slowing her down. She is free to roam without having to drag us around anymore."
That did make me feel a little better about it.
"So, what do you want to do for fun?" Edward asked.
"What is there to do for fun at the mall?"
He smiled and took my hand. "I have an idea." He kissed my hand before dragging me to the other side of the mall; it put butterflies in my stomach.
"Here we are."
Looking up at the store my mouth fell open. 'Build-a-Bear Workshop'.
"I've always wanted to do something like this." I smiled like a little kid. He chuckled. He led me inside and we were officially on a new planet. Edward brought me to the starting bins where you pick your new friend.
Not being able to make a descent decision I settled on a white teddy bear. I was about to move forward when I notice Edward was empty handed. "Aren't you going to get one?"
He randomly picked a mountain lion out of a bin and we proceeded. The animal seemed pathetic since it hadn't been stuffed yet. We went to station two; where they stuff the animals.
There was a screaming kid on the floor in front of us. He didn't get what he wanted so he was kicking and crying; his poor mother was hiding her face from the nosy people passing. Edward bent down and whispered in the boy's ear. The kid stopped and smiled widely. He stood and took his mothers hand. Looking relieved the woman mouthed a 'thank you'.
"What did you say to him?" I asked.
He smiled smugly, "Nothing of too much importance."
I was about to interrogate him more but it was our turn to get our friends stuffed. The woman doing the stuffing made us hug our animals to test their comfort. Once it was satisfactory she gave us each a cloth heart. First we had to spin in a circle and jump up and down to get the heart pumping. I felt silly doing this in front of everyone but I was ok once I saw Edward doing it to.
Then we had to blow life into the heart.
"Now, close your eyes; make a wish and put it in your animal." The woman said.
Closing my eyes I wished as hard as I could.
–I wish for my full memory back-
I placed it in the white bear and the woman stitched it together. She did the same to Edward's and we went to the next station.
Choosing the outfit for my bear was fun. I got it a purple leotard and tutu, black ballerina slippers and a purple bow. Edward got his mountain lion I biker jacket, black leather shoes and snazzy sunglasses.
Our new animal friends made an interesting couple. It made me giggle to see them sitting next to each other. That's right… I giggled.
"What are you naming yours?" I asked.
"I don't know. How about you choose a name." he suggested.
I thought for a second. "Eddy."
"Why Eddy?"
"Because you have to be something really special to own a name even close to yours." I said. Standing on my tip toes I kissed him. "Now you chose a name for mine."
Now it was his turn to think. "Izzy."
I smiled. "Why Izzy?"
"Because you have to be something really special to own a name even close to yours." He hunched down and kissed me.
"Izzy and Eddy. From practically different worlds and yet perfect for each other."
Edward paid and we left the store.
Alice ran up to us in a hurry. "Edward, we need to go. Now..."
We got all the bags and went to the car. He opened the passenger door for me and I entered. He closed the door and I waited.
(EPOV)
"What's the matter Alice?" I asked worried.
She replayed her vision for me. I froze for a second then we all entered the car quickly. We sped down the road, racing the Voltori to the house.
