A/N: okay- so I just couldn't wait. As soon as I got home from school, (SpRiNg BrEaK bAbY!!! =D) I just had to update- so here goes chapter 9!

Alice POV

As soon as I heard the sound of a car driving down the long drive that led up to our house, I started bouncing around the room.

"She's here!!! Oh my God she's here! Yayayayayayayy!!!"

"Alice, calm down, you don't want to scare her."

"Oh shut it Jasper!" I playfully said to my husband with a flick of the wrist. I then ran over to the door where I began my countdown.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1." Then I opened the door to see a surprised looking Gabriella, standing there with her hand extended, as if she were about to knock. "Gabriella!"

"Um, hi." She said sheepishly.

"Come on in, it's time for you to meet the family!" I said as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her in through the door. "Well, of course you already know Edward," I began, and then I addressed everyone in the family, "That's my mom, Esme. My dad is at work, so you won't meet him yet. That's Rosalie and Emmett. Then that is Jasper, and of course I'm Alice." I finished with my most dazzling smile.

"Hello Gabriella, it's so nice to meet you." Esme said, flashing a smile as well.

"It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Cullen."

"Oh, just call me Esme hun."

"Okay." Gabriella said, smiling, probably by the thought of calling an adult by their first name. I took this chance to actually look at Gabriella. I shook my head as I looked at her knotty hair tied up in the messiest of all messy buns. She had dark, navy blue sweats on and a matching sweatshirt, with a lighter blue tee underneath.

"Well, we should start. I have a lot of work to do. Could you at least have not put your hair up like that? It's going to be terrible to brush out!"

"Um- sorry." She said with a blush. I closed my eyes and took an unnecessary deep breath, just to keep up with the human facade.

"No worries, you do have me, and I am the best of the best. Now come on!" I said, gesturing to the stairs. This was going to be fun.

Gabriella POV

"So…" Alice said as she led me into what I assumed was her room. It was decorated to look almost like a beach, with its pale blue walls, the sandy colored carpet, and candles lit. I immediately felt relaxed.

"So what?"

"So- what can I call you? Gabriella is pretty, but it's a mouthful. Now, I know your friends call you Ella, and apparently you don't like that. How about Gabri? Ooo! Or just Bri? That's really pretty and easy."

"Um, I guess Gabri would be okay." I said.

"Okay. Now, what should I do first? We still have 5 hours so… oh! I know! I'll do your nails! How about a nice ruby red? That'll look so pretty with your outfit. Just sit right on that chair."

"Okay. Um, Alice?" I asked, as I sat down on this chair next to this table. She pulled another chair up, and started painting my nails.

"Hmm?"

"I don't mean to be ruse or anything, but do you ever shut up?" I asked as she laughed. I just couldn't get enough of that beautiful sound.

"Nope. Not really. I like talking. I think it's kinda fun, the things that you can do with words. Plus, I like putting my say in ever matter."

"Okay then…" I said. Alice immediately began talking about how great of friends we were going to be, and about all of the things we were going to do together. I sighed, and then tuned her out. It was strange, that even though I was with someone I barely knew in a place that I've never been, I felt strangely at ease.

"Done!" Alice said. I looked down to see my nails beautifully painted. "wow, I did a really good job."

"Alice! You're amazing! You should become an nail salon person."

"Thanks, but that's not really what I want to do with my life." She said with a smile. "Time for you to see your outfit!" She then ran over to her closet and pulled out two pieces, laying them both on the bed. Though it was beautiful, I would have never thought that I would be the one wearing it. She had very dark washed skinny jeans, paired with this olive green top. It was very flowy, and had a bow around the waist. Alice then dug out these cream colored heels that had a strap around the middle of the foot. The heel wasn't that high, but I immediately started worrying that I would trip. (Link to see this entire outfit is on my pro. I have to admit, it is really cute. I want to wear it so badly!!!)

"Heels?" I asked weakly.

"Oh don't worry your pretty little head off, you'll be fine. They aren't even high. Besides, you're already kinda short, no offence, and you'll still be shorter than Edward with them on."

She handed me the outfit and I went into the bathroom to change. The jeans and the top fit me perfectly, and I didn't put on the shoes just yet. I called for Alice to tell her I was changed, and she came in to do my hair and makeup.

"See! I told you this was going to be like a rat's nest!" she said as she took out my bun and started brushing out my hair. All the knots were almost out when there was a knock at the bathroom door.

"Come in." Alice said. The door opened and I was surprised to see the beautiful blonde Rosalie walk in through the door.

"Hey. Um, I was wondering if you need any help."

"Oh thank God yes. I can't figure out what to do with her hair. I don't know if we should curl it and leave it down, or put it up." Rosalie listened intently to what Alice was saying, and then stood there and thought for a moment.

"I think it should go up." She said.

"Okay. You do that. I'm going to get started on her makeup." Alice then took out this huge bag and started working on my face. She told me step by step what she was doing, probably thinking that I would go home and try the look out myself. Apparently she sponged my entire face down with cover-up. Then she put eye-liner on my lower eye on what was apparently called my waterline. She then took out her mascara and swiped it across my already dark lashes, making them look even darker, and making my blue eyes really pop. She finished off the look with blush and lip gloss. By the time she was finished Rosalie was too. I was handed my shoes to put on, and was led to a full length mirror.

"Wow." That was all I could say. I looked really skinny in my outfit, and the heels weren't as bad as I thought they would be. My makeup made my face look flawless, and my hair, oh my hair! It was up in a neat bun, and Rose had pulled out a few pieces that she had curled to frame my face. The entire look was amazing.

"I'm so good." Alice said, admiring her work. "I really like the hair Rose. But I still think something is missing." They both looked at me, and Rose started to smile. She went over to Alice's jewelry box and picked out these gold hoops and a few rings.

"Ooo! Those look nice, but I don't have a necklace to match." Alice whined.

"But I do!" Rose said before she darted out of the room. In only a minute or two she was back, holding onto one of the most gorgeous necklaces I had ever seen. It was a gold chain with, well- it was so hard to describe. It had a bunch of different colored flattened stones strung on.

"OMG! That is perfect!" Alice shrieked. Rose started putting on all the jewelry, while Alice went to go check if Edward was ready. She was back in a few minutes, clapping.

"You both look so perfect!" she cheered, then she glanced over at the clock. "6 o'clock. Perfect timing! C'mon, Edward is waiting downstairs for you!"

"Okay. Thank-you so much Alice. You too Rose. I could not have looked this good without the two of you." I said with a smile. They both smiled back. Alice took my hand and placed me at the top of the stairs. She and Rose then ran ahead and announced to everyone I was coming down. I smiled, and started descending down the stairs, careful not to trip. Edward was standing there at the bottom of the stairs. He had on nice, dark jeans as well, with a long-sleeved black pinstriped dress top. I smiled as I saw his jaw drop.

"Wow. Gabriella, you look amazing!" he said with a smile.

"Thanks." I blushed. "You don't look too bad yourself."

"Thank-you." He said very politely.

"So- where are we going?" I asked.

"Well…" he started
