Author Notes: Another chapter? So soon? That's because you're all so awesome. To be honest, and I'm being very, very honest, this chapter was hard because I know nothing about parties and what girls do, despite being a girl myself. I just never been to a birthday party with makeovers and squealing and stuff. The last one I was at was my own 16th birthday many moons ago. It also took me all day to write this, I redid it so many times. So yeah…

Anyways, enjoy and sorry for the shortness, they just happen once in a while. Oh, one more thing: Thank you, thank you, thank you very very much for all the kind reviews you've given me! Those reviews and your responses makes me want to write more. I enjoy making you happy and making you happy, makes me happy. :D

Chapter Twenty-four

"It's almost time," Alice squealed as she spun around looking at the living room. She invited all of Bella's girlfriends over for a slumber party. All of the invited girls parents called up and made sure the parents would be there all the time, Carlisle assured each and everyone that him and Esme would be around.

Jasper was trying to decide to stay or go hunt during the night, or drive the motorcycle that Edward got him as a birthday gift some months back. Alice went over to him and he leaned down, kissing her tenderly. "I'm going to take the bike out." He said, finally decided. "I know you said you didn't see anything, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I'll call you if I end up in Canada or somewhere."

"You'll end up in the Yukon." She said, "Then you'll hunt some bigger food." Jasper eyes sparkled at that. The bigger the food the tastier it was. Alice laughed and kissed him. "I love you, Jazz."

"Love you too, Darlin'" His southern accent thick now and kissed her passionately, holding her close to his body. He wondered if they had time for a quickie. He glanced at Alice who nodded and he picked her up and whisked her away to their room, shutting the door behind him. They came downstairs 20 minutes later totally relaxed and satiated. Jasper was dressed in his new bike suite that Edward had also gotten him, a helmet in one hand.

They didn't need to wear a helmet but it was the one condition that Carlisle put down. Vampire or not, you're going to wear a helmet. Jasper kissed Alice and said goodbye to his family and that he'll be back either tomorrow morning or in the afternoon. He hadn't decided which time yet and took off, heading north as Alice predicted.

"While you two were upstairs, the guest have already started to arrive." Carlisle said, "Esme and I will be in my office should you need anything." Esme and Carlisle disappeared from view as 10 girls came in with Bella, squealing happily. Bella made it clear that they were not allowed to ogle her brothers or Edward.

"My brother Emmett went shopping and got all the food… I guess you can call it that." Bella said and showed them the table full of chips, dips, Pepsi and diet Pepsi, candy, cake, cupcakes, bite size pizza snacks, and a million other things it seemed. The girls squealed and they dug in. These girls knew when to eat and when to watch their figures. At a party, it was eating time. The only thing they didn't touch was the cake, they were saving that for later. After pigging out to their heart's content, the girls sat back and sighed, patting their bellies.

"Now," Emmett said, carrying in a small karaoke machine. "It's time for some jammin'!" The girls cheered, except for Bella, Alice and Rosalie, who groaned. "Alright, the three party poopers get to go first." and the singing broke out and shortly turned into a contest between the Cullen siblings much to the delight of the partygoers.

Bella had called Carlisle and Esme down to judge and once again Edward won and Team Edward clapped. Emmett pouted and Rosalie kissed his cheek, comforting him. Everyone was having a blast and soon it was cake time and unwrapped presents where she got gift cards, books, CDs and some other things.

Edward stepped up and smiled at her, handing her a small box. She took it and opened it, gasping. Inside was a ring made of silver gold and a simple diamond on it. It was a promise ring. Edward bent down and whispered something softly in her ear, so only she and their family can hear.

"It's a promise ring, my Bella." He told her. "I promise to always be there to protect you and keep you safe." Bella hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek, whispering her thanks. She put the ring on her right ring finger and looked at it, marveling it. Her friends crowded around and ooh and awed.

Edward, now leave us girls alone. Take Emmett hunting. I have foreseen… Alice said that last part in her mysterious voice. … that Emmett will come across an irritable grizzly. Edward grinned and said goodnight to the girls and dragged Emmett out as Carlisle and Esme left.

"Makeover time!" Alice squealed and Rosalie brought out the make up stuff and the real party began. The girls were up until 3:30 doing their faces and nails while watching movies before they started to drop off one by one until only Alice and Rosalie were up.

"That was fun." Rosalie said.

"It was." Alice whispered and got up. "I'm going to call Jasper." She tiptoed outside and called her husband as she heard Bella moaned Edward's name in her sleep.
