A/N: Apparently, there's a 'short' (unbearably long, that is.) waiting period of 2 days before I can submit a story, (which my BFF Tiff forgot to mention.) so, while I'm waiting, I'm gonna start on the next few chapters so that I won't get behind on posting when the finals come up or when my homework piles up.

DISCLAIMER: Don't own anything, but the plot, as usual…

MATCH MADE IN HELL

CHAPTER TWO:ALICE, ROSE, I LOVE YOU GIRLS, BUT WHY???

Alice's POV

Yay!!!

My plan had worked…once again, but it'd worked, so that's what matters! Edward and Bella were being set up, and because they thought it was a request by both their mums, they couldn't say no, because they were still pretending to be geeky, 'yes, mum' kids.

YES!!!

They're perfect for each other, anyone could see that. But three summers of watching them awkwardly interact between each other, each silently rejecting the other because of their act…well, even a little pixie like me has a limit. And three summers were more than enough. I was determined to not get through a fourth. So, I 'innocently' spoke out a few of my thoughts in front of Esme, and then hid behind the sofa as she quickly grabbed the phone to call Renee, thinking that I was gone.

And here we are.

Time to call Bella and see how it went…but I miss her…Hmm, I'll just go grab Rose, then we'll get over to her place. She'd texted me yesterday. It seems that she was still Renee's pet daughter, because her text read:

OMG AL!!! New room's…2 big 2 describe. U gotta cm over- ASAP. With Rose. C u soon.

Now, how can I say no to that? Big room= big wardrobe= (in Bella's case) empty wardrobe= SHOPPING!!!

And even though Bella absolutely loathes shopping-well, in Forks, at least- she didn't complain when we spent four hours in Fifth Avenue- how could she refuse my puppy eyes?

I'm an evil pixie…

Rose's POV

Alice just came to pick me up, and now we're speeding to Bella's. She's just so proud of her Yellow Turbo 911, and moans and bitches everytime she has to leave it here in Forks whenever we leave for college. Once, she even attempted to sneak off in her car! Leave it to Ali to get super-attached to this particular car. I mean, I love my cars too, but even I'm not that super-attached. Whatever. I smirked and shook my head.

"Whatcha smirking at?" Ali asked in that excited voice of hers.

"Nothing," I said, waving it off, anxious to meet Bells. We exchanged smiles and she totally broke the speed limit.

Bella decided to drive herself back this summer, so we haven't seen her for a while. Back at college, we're dorm mates, which is a good thing, since we've all been BFFs since the beginning of time…or our lives, at least. Divas in diapers, we used to call ourselves. Good times, good times…

Alice pulled to a sudden stop and gasped. I followed her eyes and gasped too. Bella's house…no, mansion was huge! Freaking huge!

I whistled a low whistle, impressed. Alice grinned like a five year old on Christmas morning. "I knew the house was going to be huge," She emphasized on the 'huge', "But I wasn't expecting…" She trailed off for a loss of words, then spread her arms wide open and indicated at the mansion. "-this!" She finished, beaming at me.

I groaned. If I knew Ali- and trust me, I did- there's only one thing that can be running through her mind right now- shopping. With an exclamation point. It wasn't that I didn't like shopping- I loved it, adored it even- but shopping in Forks? Or rather, Port Angeles? Nope. Don't even think about it.

"Ali," I said with a serious expression on my face that said 'serious'. "You know we both love shopping, and even Bells, if it's designer shopping," I grinned, remembering New York. "But shopping in Forks, Port Angeles…Seattle? No, no, and no. They barely have a proper mall, let alone a boutique!" I shrieked, exasperated. Seriously, all three of our families- the Swans, Cullens, and Hales- were loaded, but we just had to move to one of the most depressing towns on the face of the earth.

She looked at me sheepishly. "Sometimes, I swear you two can read my mind," She muttered before gracefully climbing out of her Porsche. I followed her movement, and together, we strolled up to the front door. Or doors- it depends on how you see it.

The door was flung open before we could even walk up the last of the stairs, followed by a blur of brown hair running towards us. We were squished together in a group hug, followed by several high-pitched greetings. What can I say? We're girls, and best friends. The Swans are just lucky they picked a secluded and private area, or their neighbours would be deaf by now.

After a while, Bella pulled out of the hug, even fighting against a very-reluctant Alice for a while- I giggled at that. But the magic word was all it took for Alice to let go and almost run head-first into the wall.

"You have to see my room…and my wardrobe." Nice, Bella- pulling out the 'wardrobe' card. That one never failed, along with 'shopping', the only two words in the world that could break Alice out of her shock when Jasper suddenly proposed to her two years ago during movie-night…now, that was fun…

We quickly ran up to Bella's bedroom. Apparently, she had the whole floor to herself! Who gets a whole freaking floor to herself???

Bella opened the door, and I gasped again, close to the brink of fainting.

Because even in my wildest dreams, I had never seen a room so…perfect! Lucky bitch.

Bella's POV

I blushed when the girls finally got out of their shock and started squealing. After almost five minutes of squealing, they decided to spin around and face me. They started to speak, but I held my hand up and cut in.

"I know what you're thinking. Rose, I'm not a lucky bitch, you're still better than me," I winked at her. "And Alice, yes, you can shop for me, but there are rules-" She cut me off before I could start.

"No shopping in Forks, Port Angeles, and Seattle; no going over-board; no outrageously expensive stuff. I know, Bella." She smirked. I glared. Evil, smug psychic.

We cracked, and all of us started laughing. We spent the rest of the day planning to remodel my room, because Renee had told me to do so, and finally, I remembered the real reason I'd called the girls over.

"Ali, Rose, I love you two like sisters," They nodded, letting me know that they felt the same. "But why the hell did you two match me up with…" I almost sneered. "Edward???"

Alice seemed to take a deep breath before speaking, and Rose…well, it seems that my cushion was suddenly demanding her full, un-divided attention.

"See, Bella, there's actually something you need to know…"

Edward's POV

The evil pixie had finally left. She'd gone to pick up Rose, and they were going over to Bella's. I shuddered at the name. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't being mean. As a matter of fact, Bells and I used to be really close. But the night of our high school senior prom…well, let's just say that we almost took things a little too far. Almost being that Alice had left her cell in my car, and…that's where Bella and I were. Thank God Alice never found out, but after that, we left for college and the summer after, when I finally met her again, Bella was…a geek.

Sure, she was as hot as ever, if not more, but she was just…ugh, how to explain this? She was just such a goody-two-shoes, I guess.

I huffed and rested myself on the couch just as Em walked in, whistling cheerily. "'Sup, bro?" He grinned.

I glared at him. "Don't you go all innocent on me now." I threatened. "You had just as much to do with this as Al, and we both know that."

He looked away, pretending to be clueless. "Clueless," he echoed my thoughts.

"Emmett." I said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, okay!" He said, giving up. "It's just…you two used to be so close, ya know? And suddenly, you guys just changed…barely said a word to each other."

" 'Hi' counts as a word, you goof-ball," I snapped.

"Ed, she's totally hot, and she's perfect for you. Why can't you see that?" He questioned, scratching the back of his head.

"She's a freaking goody-two-shoes, for crying out loud!"

Emmett suddenly seemed a whole lot more uncomfortable.

"See, about that, Edward…umm…there's something you need to know…"
