It Takes TwoxTwo

Chapter 4

Alice

"Hey Jazz, you wanna do something with me?" I gave him a coy smile, he knew exactly what I was going to ask him to do. He hated shopping, but ever since Carlisle had given me my black members only visa, I loved it!

"Aw, come on Alice, we went shopping two days ago!" He whimpered and gave me the puppy dog face, but I wasn't having it, it had been two years since Edward and I were changed and we were starting school tomorrow. I had to have new clothes for that! And so did he, and Bella, and Edward, and everyone else for that matter. This is why they called me their personal shopper, I loved to buy them stuff!

"Cant you just con Bells and Rose into going with you?" He was acting tired, but I knew he was bluffing cause vampires didn't get tired.

"Fine, stay here and I'll pick your clothes for you, all of you." Within seconds there were five other vampires standing with me, all of them looking like they would rather be burning at the steak. "Thanks for the enthusiasm guys." Sigh. When will they ever learn, shopping is fun.

"We will never learn that Al, cause you're the only one who thinks that way." Edward, always answering my thoughts, smirked at me.

"Oh haha Ed, you know you would rather go with me than have me pick for you." I had him here, last time I went shopping for him he almost had an aneurism, even though he couldn't.

"Good point." We all laughed at this.

"Alright, we'll have to take two cars. I'll drive the girls, you guys can stick together and mope." I was laughing as I walked off to the garage.

"Hmm, Porsche or Ferrari? Defiantly Porsche, its sunny. Come on girls!" Ah shopping, was there any better thing to do the Sunday before school? Um, no!

Bella

"Ok, so we've hit Dooney and Bourke, Coach, Gianni Bini, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Lacoste, Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and Brooks Brothers. Girls lets go to Victoria's Secrets and then we'll be done. I promise." Alice was practically bouncing as we sent the boys to the car for the fifth time.

"ALICE! I'm tired of this! How many other things can we get for school, especially at VS?" Rose was never this cross with Al, but seriously, shopping was boring!

"Um VS Pink dear sister! Duh, besides, I thought you'd want some things to show Emmett later." She winked and Rose sighed, knowing this was true.

"Ok, so she has a reason, but I don't Alice cant I just leave with the guys?" I hated Victoria's Secrets, with all my heart and soul. Alice knew this.

"No Bells, sorry, but you're staying with me." She walked away signaling the end of the conversation.

I removed my mental shield to let Edward know that I needed saving, She's making me shop in VS, save me!!!!!!!!, boy I hope he heard that. Just then Alice's phone rang, it was Edward. Yay!

"Edward, don't even try or I will break your piano!" She growled into the phone.

"You wouldn't dare!" He screamed from the phone.

"Don't try me, cause you know I would. Now you guys have a nice ride home. Tell Jazz I expect the clothes hung when I get back. Bye Eddie!" With this she hung up and glared at me. "If you tell him to save you again, its your stuff that's getting broken dear sister, and don't think I wont do it."

I shrunk away from the malice in her voice, I knew she wasn't kidding.

"Fine, lets get this over with.

*********************************************************

We spent three hours in Victoria's Secrets, it was pure torture! Alice made me try stuff on! I didn't even know they let you do that, how unsanitary. Not like it was going to affect me, a vampire, but still.

The next day, we were all headed to school in Em and Ed's cars. Edward and I decided to drive separate.

"Hey Bells, what is it like going to school again?" He seemed very nervous.

"Don't worry baby, you'll be fine. Trust me it's a whole lot easier. You already know everything." At this he laughed, I was glad, he deserved to have fun with this. I remembered the first time I had gone to school again, it was over 80 years ago. The only subject that ever changed was Science. Of course history changed to, but I had lived through most of what we were now studying and had an edge because of that. I had been to college three times, and had degrees in Physics, Politics, and Drama. The last one was Esme's idea. I excelled at all of them. And always there were boys following me around. Yale, Harvard, and Julliard, it was insane!

"What are you thinking about love? You have the strangest look on your face." He was always asking this.

"Just thinking about all of the schools I've been to. I've had some fun times, but today will be the best, cause you'll be in all my classes. Well, with the exception of gym, they split the guys and girls for that." I laughed, thinking of the time Emmett had forgotten to tone it down in gym his first time back at school. We had had to move immediately. "Hey you know to go easy in gym right?"

"Of course love, I'm not Emmett." he laughed.

"Ha, I know that, trust me." We were in the parking lot of Cleburne County High School now. I so did not want to go in. "Alright babe, lets go."

"Why do sound like you're marching to your death?" He almost laughed at this.

"Trust me, after today you are going to wish you could sleep." I sighed and got out of his car only to see something unexpected in front of me.

There was another vampire! I saw her plain as day, sitting at a table full of humans laughing her head off.

"Jazz, do you see that?" They had pulled up right after us and were all standing there just like me staring.

"That cant be, how does she do that?" He seemed utterly confused.

"I don't know, but I'm anxious to meet her." Alice was of course excited.

***************************************************************

Rosalie

Sigh. My one class without Emmett, band. I had refused to take gym again, and the only other choice was band. I hated it, but was glad I had learned to play the drums a few years ago when I was faced with this same dilemma.

"Hi, I'm Rosalie Hale. I play the drums, they said I had to meet you to figure out where to sit." I was standing in front of some boy who apparently thought he was all that. He was short, but didn't look horribly ugly. If I was a normal teenage human, he would probably be very hot. As I wasn't normal or human, he just looked stupid.

I saw the shock on his face as he looked me up and down. I was used to this all guys did it when I walked by.

"Um, yeah, I'm Alexander, but you can call me Xander. You can sit by me today, and then we'll get you set up tomorrow. I'm sure you wont want to play right away." His chest poked out as he started in on how he was section leader and blah, blah, blah, but I tuned him out.

"No that's ok, I kind of want to play." Ok so I really just wanted to show off how good I was, but whatever. "Do you mind if I borrow your music?" I asked this very coyly, teasing the guy just so I would have something to do all year.

"Um, su…sure. Its complicated though." he stuttered, how embarrassing.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can keep up." I smirked.

At this the director called us to order and preceded to count us off. I was able to play the piece, Wipeout, right away without difficulty. I loved drum solos in music, and this one was just wonderful.

When we were done playing the song the first time the entire percussion section stared at me. I just smiled and pretended not to notice them. Finally the bell rang for lunch, and I had some trouble keeping my pace human as I ran to find Emmett and the rest of my family. They were already in line for their "food" when I reached the lunch room. The wall in this cafeteria looked like it was made of foam, and I knew what Em was thinking as soon as I saw his face.

"Don't even think about it." I said as I kissed him.

"What, its not like it would hurt me!" I swear Emmett was so dumb sometimes.

"No babe, but you would end up leaving and Emmett shaped hole in the wall." I laughed at him, as did the rest of my family, obviously having heard us.

"Oh yeah, that." He looked so darn cute when he pouted like that.
