R&R PLEASE!!!!

______________________________________________________________________________

We drove back to the Cullens' house in silence, we were both too busy thinking about what the surprise from Alice was.

When we pulled in the large garage, Rosalie bounded outside and took my hand.

"Bella, you're going to adore what Alice did for you!" She grinned and dragged me inside, covering my eyes.

"TADA!" Alice and Rose cheered, uncovering my eyes.

In front of me was a sparkly, white, diamond-encrusted costume.

"Alice....what....is....?" I trailed off, staring at it.

"I made you a costume for the championships! And let me tell you, it wasn't easy." She smiled.

"I....this....you?" I still couldn't talk, it was....overwhelming. And familiar. I soon realized it was the costume I wore in my nightmare about Charlie.

"How'd you know this is what I dreamed about?" I asked, holding it up.

"You talk in your sleep." She shrugged.

"Thanks, Alice. I love it." I hugged her and Rose.

"Any time, girlie." Rosalie laughed.

"Edward, yours is on your bed." Alice pointed to the stairs.

"Thanks, girls. I guess you're not such a self-absorbed air head after all, Rose." He said calmly. Rose gasped and smacked him, making us all laugh.

"So, everyone's talking about how you stood up to Jessica and Lauren, Bella." Alice said, wiggling her eyebrows.

Only then did I remember Ben, Mike, Angela, and Eric were watching from the sidelines during the whole fiasco today.

"Oh." Was my answer.

"And I hear a certain brother of mine and a certain best friend of mine are dating now." Rosalie said, and the girls went "Ooooh!". We laughed.

"Maybe. Maybe not." I joked slowly.

"Stop stalling and tell us, dammit!" Alice demanded. Edward, Rosalie, and I gave her weird looks, and she shrugged.

"He told Lauren and Jessica I was his girlfriend. You should have seen the looks on their faces!" Edward and I laughed.

Jasper and Emmett bounded down the stairs, carrying hockey equipment.

"Where are you two going?" Rosalie asked.

"We're going to practice. We have championships the same day you do, you know." Emmett joked, kissing Rosalie's cheek. Jasper did the same with Alice.

"Oh, and Belly-Bells?" Emmett asked, smiling sheepishly. He gave me that nickname against my will.

"Yes, Emmett?" I asked, glaring at him.

"You're going to look hot in the outfit Alice made you." He grinned. Edward and Rosalie started whacking him, and he ran out the front door with Jasper on his heels.

~One Week Later~

The week flew by after that, and the championships were suddenly staring me in the face.

Edward and I practiced every day, but never in our costumes. If Jessica and Lauren were to show up, we wouldn't want to ruin the surprise for championships.

They never showed up, though.

Although everyone else in Forks who was competing in the championships, for either figure skating or hockey, came to the rink every day to practice, Jessica and Lauren never came.

"I'll bet you scared them off." Ben joked. The hockey team started a huge bet about if Lauren and Jessica were even going to show up to the championships.

"I feel horrible." I complained, slumping down onto a bench in the girls' locker room the day before championships.

"Why?" Rosalie asked, sitting next to me. Alice sat on my other side.

"Because, I scared Lauren and Jessica off." I sat with my face in my hands. Why I felt bad, I had no idea.

"They deserved it, Bella. If anyone should feel bad, it's them." Alice tried to comfort me unsuccessfully.

That day was the only slow day out of the whole week, only because everyone tried to comfort me, and tell me it wasn't my fault, but I couldn't help but think it was.

I woke up from another leering dream about Charlie the day of the championships. Esme offered me breakfast, but I turned it down. I was too nervous to eat.

"You'll be fine, Bella. You're an amazing skater. We'll win this thing." Edward comforted me. It worked. Kind of.

My self-esteem was boosted by his words, but the nerves still haunted me.

The championships were being held in Seattle this year, and we drove there in silence.

What we saw there made us both freeze.

WOAH.

Sorry this chapter was so short, but I wanted the championships to be two parts, the next chapter and the one after that.

I'll write them both today, but if I don't get AT LEAST five reviews telling me to post the championships today, I'll wait until I do get 5.

SO START REVIEWING IF YOU WANT IT TODAY!

Hope you enjoyed it!
