Hi, hope you like it D (God, that was like the shortest one I've ever done!! :)

December 24th

It was the day before Christmas, and I still hadn't wrapped any of the gifts, let alone bought Edward's gift.

"Morning love." Edward said as I rolled to face him. "Ready to wrap presents?"

"No, but I'm as ready as I'll every be."

"Have fun love, I'll be downstairs and you get wrapping!" He said winking, and ducking out the door. Great, he was leaving me alone to face my own personal nightmare.

I got up, had a shower, and got dressed. That only wasted 15 minutes of my wrapping time. Shoot, I suppose I actually had to wrap them then huh? I opened the closets. That's where Edward and I hid the presents. We decided to keep changing our mind about Alice's present so she wouldn't know, but I bet she already does.

The presents looked more to me like monsters than gifts. The many rolls of assorted wrapping paper looked even more scary. Not to mention the tape. Well, at least it wasn't ductape, otherwise we'd have to hide from Alice. I pulled out what I figured to be the easiest present to wrap, Jasper's I-phone.

The box looked harmless enough, just a plain rectangle. Sure, I could do this.

Thirty minutes, two rolls of wrapping paper, two paper cuts on my right hand, and one entire roll of tape later, I was finished. It wasn't the best wrapping job ever, but I was pretty proud of myself.

I heard two knocks at the door.

"Who is it?" I asked, shoving the little wrapped rectangle into the closet along with the wrapping supplies.

"Me love." I got up to head to the door. But his voice sounded strange. It was familiar, but it was too high, as if someone with a lower voice was trying to imitate his breathtaking voice.

"What's the secret password?" I asked, crossing my arms and leaning against the door.

"Umm," Then I head someone else whisper. "Shoot, we forgot about that... try someplace they both love. Try meadow." I laughed at their pathetic attempt.

"Meadow?" Emmett guessed, forgetting to put on his fake 'Edward' voice.

"Sorry Emmett, Jasper, we don't even have a secret password. HAH! The clumsy human outsmarted not one but two Vampires! HAH!" I banged my fist on the wall while I laughed. Nothing that had happened was really that funny, but oh well.

"Jasper! You should have known better! Why on earth would Edward and Bella have a secret password?" I heard Emmett growl through the wooden door.

"What are you talking about? You're the one who believed her! I just tried to come up with an answer!" Jasper screamed back. I could just picture their hand gestures on the other side of the door, and I giggled.

"Now boys, If you're done trying to sneak in and see your present, I have wrapping to do." I heard the two of them make their way downstairs, still fighting with each other. Stupid boys!

I got back to my wrapping. Next, I picked up Emmett's Wii. I assumed it was the next easiest present to wrap because of it's shape and size.

I got a little better. It only took me three hours to wrap the rest of the presents. And, in consequence of my rushing, I had a band-aid on every visible part of each finger.

I shoved the rest of the presents in the little crawl space at the back of the closet. I then proceeded to twist the key, locking the door. Though, I highly doubted that a locked door would stop any of the Cullens. I tucked the key into my pocket and went downstairs.

"Hey Bella," Rose greeted me. She was wearing her Christmas hat. "If Alice sees you without your Christmas hat on, she'll freak and probably tape it to your head. Here." She said, throwing me the light blue hat. I put it on my head. They were itchy and warm, but radiated Christmas spirit, so I was OK with it.

"Nice hat Bella." Edward said, rounding the corner and kissing me on the cheek. I looked up at his hat. The lines of sliver ductape securing the hat to his head were still visible.

"You too!" I said, kissing him back.

"I went Christmas shopping for you while you were wrapping presents." He said, putting one arm around my waist and leading me to the large, white couch.

"Oh! Shoot, I'd better go!" I said, as I ran off to grab my coat and keys from the closet. I then slammed open the garage door and ran straight into Carlisle.

"Oh, Sorry Carlisle! I should watch where I'm going, but I'm in a rush." I said frantically, picking myself up from the floor.

"No problem Bella. Just don't hurt yourself. If you're in such a rush, would you like to take my car? It goes above 50 miles an hour without breaking a sweat." He said with a smile. I smiled back, and he took his keys out of his jacket pocket, placing them in my hands.

"Have fun." He said again as I started his car.

Where should I go to get a gift for Edward? This was one of the most important shopping days of my life. I needed to find something he'd love and remember forever. I couldn't just buy him some random CD, or anything. But I couldn't afford anything extravagant on my very limited budget. So what could I get him then?

Carlisle had gone inside, but I hadn't exited the garage when I saw a square, thin, rectangular shaped object in one of the cup holder spots. It guessed was Carlisle's credit card. It looked exactly like the one that Edward used to pay for all of the gifts we purchased yesterday. Attached with tape, there was a note written in neat and elegant script. It read;

Bella,

Please use this to buy whatever you'd like to for Edward. Don't waste your collage fund! Please, use this card. Have fun shopping!

-Carlisle.

I crumpled up the note and stared at the credit card. I could use it, but, well, I suppose I would then, seeing as I had not excuse not to. And Carlisle's note seemed like he really wanted me to use it.

I looked on the front of the card, to make sure it was Carlisle's and not anyone else's by mistake. But there, set in gold plastic was the name 'Bella Swan'. Great, now I had my first Credit Card.

The tiny blue cell phone in my pocket rung. I wouldn't let Edward buy it for me, but of course, he had anyway, in case there was an emergency or something. I picked up my phone. It said 'One new text message from Alice Cullen." I rolled my eyes, then flipped open the phone and read the text message.

Dear Bella,

I know you hate shopping, but... pretend that you're me... OK, well, maybe, I dunno. Channel your 'inner Alice.' And I already saw that you have no idea what to get him, and I'm sorry that I can't see anything to help you. You'll have to figure it out on your own. GOOD LUCK!

ALICE ;)

Well, one thing was for sure. This was turning into a very interesting day... And I hadn't even left the garage yet!
