Author's note: Alrighty, it seems like my writers block has well and truly disappeared so with any luck I should be able to finish this story in the next week or so! (That is if I can keep up with the daily updates).

If you're in the fan fic neighbourhood don't forget to check out my other little story With You in My Head.

Also I am still on the lookout for a Beta to give me a hand with grammar and spelling but also perhaps some story help.

Disclaimer:

The next day Alice insisted that we go shopping for outfits to wear to our graduation, she reasoned that this was a big milestone in our lives and that we should be dressed accordingly.

Rose and I agreed that yes on this occasion she was absolutely right and besides there were going to be a lot of pictures taken that day, mostly by Renee and I'd be damned if I didn't want to look my best.

Edward, Emmett and Jasper flat out refused to join is on our shopping expedition however.

"There's no way I'm going to let that little pixie take me shopping ever again" Emmett pouted when Rose pitched the idea to him.

"Why not?" and equally pouty Alice demanded with her arms crossed.

Emmett narrowed his eyes at her, "You made me try on a pink shirt!" he cried with disgust. "Emmett Cullen does not wear pink" he added.

Edward, Rose, Jasper and I tried to hold back our snickers.

"For the record it looked good, pink is very in fashion for men" Alice informed him, standing her ground.

Emmett huffed, clearly not able to think of a comeback for that one.

"He did kind of look like a giant marshmallow" Jasper said suddenly, causing us all to snort with laughter.

Alice glared at him for a second before breaking out into giggles herself.

Plans were made to spend Saturday shopping and then a barbeque with the boys later.

We arrived at the mall bright and early and got straight to work. We traipsed from shop to shop in search of the 'perfect' dresses. I found mine two hours into the trip in a little boutique I always had liked.

It was navy blue with thin straps, the bodice itself was fitted and embroidered with a slightly shimmery thread and the bottom was a tulip shape with draping. It came with a belt in brighter shade of blue.

Next we found Rose's dress about half an hour later; it was a cap sleeved dress in a dusky red shade that suited her perfectly.

We stopped for lunch and then got back to the search, by now Alice was starting to have a meltdown. She had tried on every different style of dress ever created in every fabric and colour of the rainbow.

There had been printed dresses, single colour dresses, block colours, random patterns, metallic, sequinned, ruffles and most recently feathers.

Rose ordered her into the dressing room with another arm load to try while we flopped down on a sofa in the store to catch our breaths.

My phone chimed indicating a new message.

Hey beautiful, how's shopping going? Missing you like crazy – E

I smiled to myself while typing my reply.

Hey you, it's going. Rose and I have dresses, Alice does not. She is now in meltdown mode. Missing you heaps too – B

My phone then rang; Edward Cullen is calling the screen told me.

"Hey" I greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hi gorgeous" he replied, making me melt. "So Alice is having a meltdown?" he asked.

"Yes" I groaned into my phone.

"What scale are we talking here?" Edward asked just as Alice screeched from her dressing room.

"These are all wrong, wrong and wrong" she screeched, luckily there were no other customers in the store.

"This is ridiculous" Rose moaned beside me, "Let's just leave her here, she won't even notice."

"Does that answer your question?" I asked Edward.

"Loud and clear, do you want me to send Jasper there to calm her down?" he asked me.

"I don't think even he could help right now" I told Edward as Alice came storming out of the dressing room and began scoping the store again for the 'perfect dress'.

"Or I could come and save you?" he replied, I could hear his smirk through the phone.

"Tempting" I told him, and it was, very very tempting. "But Rose would kill me for leaving her here alone."

Rose turned to glare at me, "Oh no missy you're staying right here with me" she commanded.

Edward chuckled, "I guess I'll see you later then love."

"If I make it out of here alive" I joked.

After saying our goodbyes we dragged Alice out of the store and off to one we had been to earlier in the day. I was hoping like hell that a new dress she deemed perfect would magically have appeared.

We ordered her into the dressing room and returned with armfuls of dresses.

"No" she soon announced passing a dress over the top of the door. "No, too slutty, just yuck, I'm not even commenting on that one and not in a million years" she told us throwing more dresses at us.

"Oooo!" she squealed suddenly.

I glanced at Rose who looked hopeful.

"I swear if this one isn't right she can wear a damn paper bag to graduation" she muttered to me.

I suppressed a giggle and called out to Alice "is that a good oooo?"

She flung the curtain open, "What do you think?" she asked doing a little twirl for us.

"Oh you have to get that Alice" Rose nodded approvingly.

"It looks great" I told her enthusiastically.

"I'll take it then" she said beaming.

It was an asymmetric fold over scoop necked dress with spaghetti straps, made of chiffon and satin. It was predominately black with a cream pattern over it.

"Thank fuck" Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

Graduation arrived a week later in a flurry of family visits. Sure enough there were plenty of pictures taken by Renee and all the other parents who kept repeating to us all weekend how proud they were of us all.

And then before I could blink we were out in the real world, applying for jobs, starting careers. It made us feel oh so grown up.

Rose and Alice pulled together all of the designs they had created over the years and began to put together their own label with the help of so people in the fashion business. They also managed to find the perfect location for their first ever boutique store

Their label was Twilight was going to be a total hit, I could tell already.

Jasper had gotten a job as a history teacher at a local high school and after talking to him and the gang about it in great lengths I had decided to apply for the English teaching position at the very same school.

Which I am very pleased to say I got!

Edward had joined an architectural design company as their chief architect after they were so amazed by his plans and designs they just had to have him join their company.

Things were so different now, not being in college and all that. But somehow nothing had changed.
