Chapter Twenty Two: Jane's Turn For Horror....

I was waffling back and forth, it was really evil. I thought maybe it was too evil..... But in the end I decided to do it. I dragged Demetri into it. He was to deliver Jane's "wedding dress".......

So far Jane was as in the dark as I was about the wedding plans, Alice just completely ruled. Now I knew to trust Alice, more so than Jane. Although Jane trusted Alice, I was pretty sure I could shake it up a little......

I haded Demetri the garment bag. "Now you remember your lines right? She has to believe this, you can't blow it, or the joke won't work!" He rolled his eyes "Sheesh Bella, reinforce your calm! I got it, alright?" He took the bag and left for Jane's room. I waited around the corner. Demetri knocked "Come in!" Jane called out. "Alice told me to drop this here, and she was going to be by in a few minutes to do the final fitting once she was done with Bella's" I heard him set the garment bag down and turn to leave. "Thanks, Demetri!" Jane called to him as he left.

"Well now, let's see this perfect beautiful gown Alice had made for me!" I could hear the anticipation in her voice..... She opened the bag.... "What!!?!? This dress is RED! It looks like something Heidi would wear on a fishing trip! What?!?! This dress will leave half my chest exposed! There is no frickin' way Cullen! I am going to sock your pixie ass if you think I am going to wear this whore costume to my wedding!" I heard the sound of fabric ripping, and Jane storming out of her room to find Alice....

Now THIS I was going to get on camera!

Jane found Alice in the lounge with Jasper sharing the story of my prank with Emmett. Jane zapped Alice to get her attention "What in the hello were you thinking when you picked out that horrible horrible dress Cullen!?!" Alice was stunned "Wha..." Zap! "AHHHH! Jane, what are you talking about?" I burst into the lounge laughing! Suddenly Jane caught on...... "BELLA! I should have known! Sorry Alice!" She turned and came after me "OOPS!" I took off running. Alice was right behind Jane. It was a good thing I was a newborn, or they would have ripped me to pieces! As it was I almost got bitten by Jane TWICE! Finally I ran to Felix, and he calmed Jane down. Jasper caught up and got Alice calmed down.

Aro walked up just as we were all calming down and declared a moratorium on pranks until the wedding and our guests had all left. "Demetri, spread the word! I mean NO MORE. Anyone who disobeys will be put into 6 different crates until the wedding is over, am I understood?"

I knew what that meant. Being torn apart and not being allowed to reattach was one of the oldest non fatal punishments for our kind. Rumor had it that the dungeon contained 6 iron crates that had an old enemy of Aro's in them. I was not going to get curious and go see.........

I apologized to Jane, then to Alice "I guess the dress bit was a little over the top guys.... Friends??" I said in my sweetest voice.

"Oh, Bella, it would take more than you getting me zapped from Jane for me to not love you anymore!" Alice beamed. "Yeah, I forgive you too Bella..... Drop your shield and I will show you!" She smiled wickedly.... But I did it "OK Jane, Shield down!" WOW! Did that hurt! In the split second it took for my concentration to be broken and my shield go back up that hurt more than I imagined! I collapsed in pain panting...... "OWWWW!" I screamed. "Well, dummy, I didn't think you were serious! I zapped you full power to get it out of my system, I never figured you would actually let me!"

I picked myself up shakily "Hey, I had it coming...." Jane smiled "Yeah, you kinda did, but it was good for me to get some wedding jitters out of my system. I guess I am really nervous. I have been in love with Felix for so long, and now to find out he feels the same way is a little scary!"

Felix smiled "No, Jane I think you misunderstand.... I do not feel the same way you do. You cannot possibly love me as much as I love you! I have watched you all these years and admired your courage, your determination, your strength, your loyalty. I only avoided flirting with you because I didn't think someone like you would ever look twice at someone like me!"

Everyone said in unison "AAAWWWWWW! That is sooooo sweet!" Except Jasper who took off. Strong emotion was sometimes a little overpowering.

Alice said Well, we do need to do your final fittings, so since you are both here, let's go!

We followed Alice to her room where she tossed a garment bag to each of us. "Now Bella, shield Jane and I for the next couple of days since we are going to see you in your wedding dress, we don't want Edward to see it in our minds." I concentrated and shielded them both.

Mine and Jane's dresses were very similar. Both were white, and designed in a very classic style. Each dress had a train that was 20 feet long. If I could I would have teared up. It was perfect. Jane was also stunned. We both looked perfect "Alice, of course I never doubted you for a second! Perfect!" Jane said "Well, I should never have doubted you..... I agree, I can't wait for Felix to see me in this!"
