Chapter Thirty One: Kate!
A/N: I got an interesting answer to my question a chapter back about where Gianna took Bella. i-heart-twilight-forever Suggested that they went to Kate. It was the wrong answer, and obviously she posted it after I had posted the next chapter, but before she read the next chapter. But the idea has possibilities. It could have set off a whole bunch of why and how explainations. She has not written any stories, but she should! (so if you are reading this write a story! And let me know!) If you don't know what to write, look at my story "Story Ideas" they are ideas that I came up with, but did not get too fired up about. I thought they would be fun stories to read, but really, I have a hard time writing what I do anyway, so I have to scrap some of the ideas, and only do the ones I feel absolutely compelled to. Also I have to say I think it is very cool that I have people all over the world reading this story! I would be interested to hear what you think! (especially those in Italy! Am I doing OK Aro? I am not making you mad am I Caius? Author shudders in fear)
I just happened to be in the hall with Tanya, Jane, and Alice when Demetri came back from his search for Kate. Jane ran over and hugged Felix and Alec. And disappeared with Felix.
Demetri was laughing when he walked up to Aro and gave him his hand to report. Tanya looked worried, seeing that they had returned without her sister. Alice was doing her bouncy I'm excited, I know something you don't dance.
Aro looked over at Tanya. "Good news Tanya, your sister is fine. They found her, and she will be along presently!" Kate walked into the hall smiling and towing another behind her, Tanya looked shocked. Apparently this was someone she didn't know. I recognized him from our wedding, but he was not one I met. Tanya hugged Kate. "KATE WHERE WERE YOU WE WERE SO WORRIED!"
She shot a glare at the new vampire, I suppose blaming him for Kate's absence.
"Tanya, what are you talking about? Didn't you get my note? I left it on the kitchen counter! I said I was going off on a vacation with the guy I met at Bella and Edwards wedding.... This is him by the way, Garrett. Dreamy isn't he!" She hugged his arm and looked up at him.
Irina came into the room followed by Carmen and Eleazar hugging Kate pulling him away from Garrett.
Alice walked over and said. "Now, I suppose you have learned your lesson?' They all looked at her stunned. "Lesson, what lesson Alice?" Tanya asked.
"You walked right past me, ME! DUH? HELLO? I could have looked and known right away what was up, but you went right past me, your friend, to Aro, and made him do it the hard way! So I looked anyway, worried that something might have happened to her, but saw she was out on a date, so I let it go, so she could have more time! You lot would have gone after her if I told you where she was, and dragged her back!. Well, let's see if I ever help you find something again!" She crossed her arms and pouted then stalked over into the corner with her back to them.
Kate socked Irina, and Tanya in the arm HARD "What the heck! I leave you two alone for a couple of weeks and you go and hurt poor dear ALICE!" She ran over to Alice and spun her around. "OH ALICE! I am so sorry for what those two dummies did! You know I would have come to you first right? And I think it was very sweet of you to give me and Garrett more time. Can I take you shopping? I would love to make it up to you....." Alice spun around brightly "You had me at SHOPPING!" she hugged Kate, and took her hand and ran out of the room grabbing my hand as they went. "C'mon Bella! You too!"
I giggled as we ran from the hall leaving the rest of the Denali's in the dust. I heard Tanya remark to Irina "You know when they get back we are going to have to take Alice shopping too right?"
As we ran to the garage to get one of the cars to go to the shopping district, I called Edward and told him I would be gone shopping with our sister, and would see him if I survived.....
Several hours later we got back. Alice had bought mostly fabric. She has been doing a lot more designing of clothes lately, well more accurately she will look at what the designers are coming out with next season and she will make it so she is wearing the latest fashions the day they are unveiled!
She is amazing. I am happy in just my Jeans, and a white t shirt. But Alice, is dressed better than any princess on the planet! Once I got adjusted to the idea that I would not get tired, shopping with Alice has gotten more fun. While I do not share her obsession with fashion, it is so much fun to watch her shop. I imagine it is similar to how a parent feels watching their kids tear through their gifts on Christmas morning.
Alice is so impatient though, since she has already seen what she will find, she always seems to be chasing her visions. Then when she has finally gotten everything just how she saw it, and wanted it, when she stops and exists in the now enjoying her purchases, it is just impossible to describe!
One thing I noticed is Alice bought a lot of white silk and lace this trip, not really her color, she is more of a silver and bright color person. Before I could ask her she turned to Kate and said "Go ahead, I am dying you know how mean it is to make me wait for you to ask!"
Kate giggled and I understood the white silk and lace immediately..... "Alice? Garrett has asked me to marry him, and I, that is we would like you to plan our wedding for us, you are just amazing, and I know you will do the perfect wedding for us too!"
Alice was suddenly screaming, and jumping up and down, then she hugged Kate, and I jumped in too. My wedding was responsible for those two meeting! It was just so romantic!
After we calmed down we went to the guest quarters looking for the Denali family. Once we found them Tanya and Irina started to apologize, but Alice put her hand up "Oh, I could never stay mad at you guys! Besides we have a wedding to plan! You have to get your home ready for a ton of guests, and we have to prepare a meadow for a huge outdoor wedding!" Tanya looked confused for a second "Wedd..... KATIE!?!" They all looked at Kate, who nodded and it was a repeat of me Alice and Kate!
Once the excitement died down. Alice grabbed some paper and drew a diagram of the meadow their house was in, and drew pictures of exactly what she wanted cut back, and what wild flowers got planted where. She handed this to Carmen "Can you please make sure they follow my directions?" Carmen smiled and laughed. "Your wish is my command!"
They all gathered their things and left to go get their home ready to receive visitors. Garrett came around the corner "There you are Katie! So have you asked her yet?" Alice walked over and hugged him, "Congratulations Garrett, and welcome to the family!" He smiled and looked at Kate "So, yes then?"
We all laughed and Edward and Jasper came around the corner. I told them the good news. "Garrett beat you to it love."
Jasper looked at Alice "So, are you going to delegate a little more this time like I asked, or am I going to lose my wife for another two months again?" "I have already turned over the big job of getting their home and the meadow ready to Carmen and the girls, I won't do that to you again Jas, I promised!" She hugged him, and Jasper melted. "Well, as long as I can be there at your side, you do what you want Alice, I wouldn't want you to lower your standards on account of me...." "It's OK Jas, I looked, they do a perfect job!" He laughed "I should have known, far be it from you to leave anything to chance."
Jasper turned to me. "Now Bella, I believe you and I had an appointment?" I looked at him confused, then I remembered. He had asked me to help him prank Emmett......
A/N: To my faithful reviewers, and readers I have some ideas for Emmett pranks, so no worries, but thought it would be fun to open it up. Anyone who has a suggestion for a prank please either send me a message through the site, or review and mention it. If I get a good one (well good to me no offense) I will use your idea and give you the credit. I may even use more than one. Imagine Emmett getting pranked, not expecting another, then WHAM! Another! And for those of you who suggested your own characters maybe you would include them in the story too? Let me know what your character is like, and what if any power they have. I like interactive stories, so here is your chance! I will wait till next Saturday to Post the next chapter, so figure on having the idea to me by Thursday June 4, 2009. I may get motivated and write another chapter before the Emmett prank chapter before then, but I will give you guys a few days to get your ideas in!
