Ok, I was looking at Story Traffic and I saw from all the different countries your all from was very flattering. But the first thing that came to mind was what accent does the voice in your head read with? So I've decided to put you all up to the challenge to read this chapter in an Aussie accent so you can read it as I do. To my Aussie readers, you've got an advantage ;) Good luck!

"Oh my, naughty little Bella," She said deviously. "Can't go without Edward for two nights, so look how she replaces him!" Rosalie laughed. "You got good taste though." She smiled and glanced over David admiringly. "You look familiar though, who are you?"

David hurried to pull the pants on; if he were still human he'd be cherry red.

"Rosalie, this is David Wells." I introduced.

"David..." She lost track of her thoughts and pursed her lips tight. She turned me around and whispered in my ear. "My student?"

I nodded and David pulled the white dinner shirt over. I'd considered how trashy formal wear was in so I decided to give David a bit of class, with Emmett's old tuxedo, which was in one piece, unlike the current trend.

"And he's done changing?" She whispered.

"Yep! I'm all dressed now." He smiled and we both turned around.

"I don't think she meant that type of change..." I said but lost my train of thoughts.

"How do I look?" He asked.

Our eyes would have bulged out of our heads if it were possible.

"Wow." We both sighed.

He did look amazing. He'd rolled the sleeves up of Emmett's shirt to reveal his strong, muscular arms, and the pants fit perfectly. The top two buttons were undone proving he did not know how to dress himself. But he pulled it off exceptionally.

"I refuse to wear the jacket. Or the tie." He said firmly.

"Alice sure knows how to pick Christmas presents." Rosalie breathed.

"Here, just wear the jacket, but you can roll the sleeves up." I demanded, tugging his arms into each sleeve and rolling up the sleeves halfway."

"All dressed up and no place to go." Rosalie sighed. "This is not acceptable. Bella, we must do something."

"Bella and I have an agreement. She shows me the advantages of being and vampire, in exchange for her life." David said serenely.

Rosalie's mouth formed a little O and she turned to me concerned.

"What exactly did you have planned?" She asked with a hint of anger in her tone.

"Well, you see Rosalie; I was still working on that when you walked in." I said extra quietly in hope that David wouldn't' hear.

"No idea Bella? Well Principal Hale, I hope this won't affect my final grade or anything, but you're gone too if I haven't seen the upside of the undead by midnight." He shrugged.

I stood calmly, praying for the minimum fuss Rosalie would present.

My prayer weren't answered.

"Don't panic! It's not like he's strong enough to overpower us both!" She said sarcastically, hands waving around.

"Calm down! All he wants is a good time! All we have to do is..." I paused and thought hard. "...think like Alice!" I smile elatedly.

"Fantastic idea Bella! Let me go first, oh won't you?" She continued with the sarcasm.

"Sure." I shrugged.

"Hi, I'm Alice, oh look a pair of shoes! I have to have them, but wait this card is maxed! I'll try this one, oh that one's gone too! Whatever shall I wear now with that fabulous cocktail dress I bought for the party tonight!" She said sarcastically, mimicking Alice with motions and a high pitched voice.

And then it hit her what she just said.

"PARTY!" She smiled broadly. "Never again shall I underestimate the powers of Alice's materialistic brain."

"And cocktail is the perfect theme! David's already dressed for it!" I gushed.

"Excellent!" She grinned, but her smile faltered. "David's a new-born. He can't be around other humans!"

"We'll just invite other vampires then, won't we?" I suggested.

"David's standing right here, and he doesn't like speaking in third person." He said annoyed. "A party's not a party without my human friends. Got it?"

"You'll just eat them all!" Rosalie said.

"I think I can master the act of self control, I've read about these sort of things. All I need is an excuse not to eat my friends, apart from they're my friends. What about if I were full enough? I'd be so sick of blood, the idea of eating a friend would make me sick?" He suggested.

Rosalie and I looked at each other.

"How come no one else has ever thought of that before?" She asked me.

"Okay David, one more blood bag and I think we're done." I said to a sick looking David, as I snacked on a cold glass of blood.

"No more! This will be number 30! 30 litres? Can't humans drown on like ten litres?" He whined.

"Well you're not human, and I think the numbers are wrong." I said calmly. "Now drink up."

He took the tall novelty glass we'd been using and slowly sipped the contents away.

"Bella, I've got the room all set up with snacks and decorations. Alice would kill us if she saw the party we were planning!" She laughed. "All we need now is guests."

"No problem, I'll ring Sam and we'll have plenty of guests." I smiled.

"Sam's coming?" David choked on his drink.

"She's the only person I know at school, so naturally." I said, noticing the way he straightened himself when her name was mentioned then proceeded to make the call.

" Sam, we're having a party tonight, can you invite as many people as you can? It's cocktail themed." I said to her through the phone.

"PARTY?! Sure!" She said excitedly. "What's cocktail themed?"

"Formal dress, like that dress you wore to school, but in one piece, not destroyed." I stated.

"Serious? Okay if you say so..." She trailed off. "Where have you been the past couple of days?"

"Um, camping! My parents decided to take me out before they left for a business trip." I lied, remembering the age old Cullen excuse.

"Sounds fun, tell me all about it tonight!" She said and hung up.

"NO MORE!" David hollered from the kitchen as he took the last sip from the cup and crossed his arms. "I think I'm going to be sick." He said looking nauseous for a vampire.

"Okay, that's enough for now, before the guests start arriving, have a few more bags." I ordered.

"I think I'll be fine if I never have to drink anything ever again." He said.

"Bella, come on, we need to get dressed." Rosalie ordered. "I've already raided Alice's wardrobe, there are still a few good ones left from back in the days."

I rushed up the stairs to follow her.

This was going to be one hell of a party.

I know, it's been like a decade since I've posted. I won't bother with an excuse, you know what it is.

So tell me how you went with my challenge!
