A/N: OMG! I am so sorry. This chapter took forever! I was at such a loss for words though. I have been updating PS I Love You. However, this is still my main priority. My dad just fixed my computer; it locked all of my documents so I couldn't access them.

Disclaimer: Alright so I always forget to, so this is the stupid disclaimer for my whole story. I do not own Twilight, or any of its characters. I now own this computer (yay 13).

There was this princess. She was really pretty. She was super nice. The world was hers. Only hers. She lived in a protected bubble, where no one could hurt her. That is… unless she left.

You see, she was imprisoned. It was a high, lonely tower. She was in the tippy-top. She had everything she needed though. Well, everything, but what she desired most. No friends, no true love.

She began to lose all hope. Would she ever be free? She didn't even remember when or why she was brought here. Who would be so cruel? What had she done to deserve this? These were the thoughts that were repeatedly spinning in her head.

All of a sudden, she hears someone calling to her. There was a blur when it came to the dialect. Then, a beautiful prince was climbing up the vine. A huge vine with flowers had wrapped itself up the spindly tower.

The princess peered out the window. Leaning far over it. She could see the top of his head. Then…Snap.

B POV

I bolted upright in my bed. My dream wasn't scary. It just didn't make any sense. Plus it was so real. Not only that, it seemed to last forever. Like, it wouldn't end! Then, that damn prince fell.

That was now the least of my problems. You see… I may have screamed slightly. Okay, so I screamed a bunch. Sue me. Alice walked over to my bed. She placed her hands over her hips and looked down at me.

"What. Do. You. Think. You. Are. Doing?" She gritted through her teeth. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that she isn't all that happy. "Do you know what time it is?" She barked. Yeah, not happy. I looked at the clock. 2:28 A.M. Shit.

"It's like two thirty sorry!" I ran my hand through my hair. Wow, I was tired. I can't fall back asleep though. Maybe when Alice is done, I can just write. Staying up 'till early in the morning was always the best time to write. No-matter how tired.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

B POV

"Bella! Bella...BELLA GET YOUR ASS UP NOW!" I cracked my eyes open. I got a few hours of sleep but that's it. Alice was sitting with her legs straddling mine; she was lifting herself up by her knees. She was jumping up and down on my bed. She had this gooey smile plastered on her face. Now I love Alice and all, but really? Did she have to wake me up at six? What was her problem? Was this payback? 'Cause I really don't see how that works, I mean she had to wake up early also. Last night, she seemed annoyed, but not necessarily mad.

"Alice, I know I woke you up last night, but you do understand that that was on accident right? And what purpose does this serve? You have to wake up to. Whoa, do you normally wake this early when you don't have to? That's crazy!

"No, silly goose, we have to go shopping! Duh, didn't I tell you that there is a dance next weekend and, you are going? No ifs, ands, or buts." She looked really serious. Like it was this huge old deal!

"Actually, I don't really like to shop, and I don't have a date. I'm not going to just stand there and look stupid the whole night while you go and dance with 'jazzy'." I was now sitting up. She had switched her position twice and was now sitting in front of me with her legs crossed. Her left eyebrow arched in an oh-really-so-you-think-you-can-get-out-of-this, look.

"Oh Bella. Bella, Bella, Bella. Do you really think I was asking?" I scoffed and gawked at her. She was such a princess! She even bother to crack a smile at the very end.

"Excuse me!" I screamed in disbelief. It was more like yelling, but you get the picture. I really could not believe her! I knew she was rich, but this? Yeah, this was more than spoiled rich kid. And she'd beat the sun at it too!

"Bella, I know that you're new, so maybe you don't get it yet. You're my Bella-Barbie now. That means you go to every school function with me and every party. This is so I can dress you up, take you shopping, do your hair, and do your make-up. If you are not capable of finding a date one will be appointed to you by mwah. Got it?" I looked at her like, 'what the fuck are you talking about chick?' "Let me give you a hint, the answer is yes." Then she got up and walked away. What was I getting myself into? "Get dressed Barbie!" She hollered over her shoulder. Sighing I went to my closet… except I had about half the clothes I remember bringing. Well hey maybe they have ghosts here. "I got rid of half of your shit!" Alice screamed. I kind of figured she had.

"Damn Alice! I do need my personal space… that includes not touching my stuff!" I was being more than patient with her. I threw my head back and groaned, picking out a tee-shirt and jeans.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Alright, you look good in purple. But I would stick with deep purple, you could not work that light fuzzy stuff." We were in the car headed to the mall.

"Uh, thanks... I guess?" Was it a compliment or not? I never knew with Alice. Look at me, I'm acting like I've known her, her whole life, yet it had only been a matter of days. Honestly, she was the sister I never had. I already love her so much. We pulled into the mall parking lot. After passing 4 parking spaces, Alice turned to me and said, "There is no-where to park! God, I mean seriously!" I looked at her with an incredulous expression.

"Alice, we have passed plenty of spaces. Did you wake up and decide to be blind today?" I cocked my head to the side, awaiting her answer.

"Oh look I found one! And no … I didn't decide to be blind."She jerked into the space, giving me whiplash. I felt like I was going to throw up. "Come on Bella!" She jumped out of the car. I sighed; this wasn't going to end soon. It didn't help that I hated to shop. Renee used to drag me to the mall all of the time.

"Alright." I muttered to myself. Slowly, I opened the door, and stepped out. She was already walking toward the doors. I caught up to her and we walked inside. I realized once inside that we were in Sears. I smelled like old lady perfume. I coughed a couple of times. Alice grabbed my hand and led me out into the food court.

"Gosh I did not want to go through Sears." She sounded disgusted with herself. I brushed it off and we headed toward Victoria secret. We passed a couple of thirteen year old girls, talking and laughing. I noticed a few boys their age staring and talking about them as they walked by. The girls got quiet for a moment as they passed by. Then they erupted in a fit of giggles. I smiled to myself. I don't think I was like that when I was that age, but then again I never really had looks or friends. I mean Kristen and Nicole were semi-friends, but we weren't all that close.

"Why do we need to shop at Victoria Secret? I thought we were getting dresses?" She ignored me as we walked in. It smelled like Love Spell, my favorite perfume by the store. The walls were laced with underwear. There were two girls working, one behind the counter. The other walking around, talking to costumers, ECT. About five women were walking around, coming through the clothes. Alice stopped abruptly and turned towards me.

"You need something sexy to wear under your dress." Whoa, what did she think I was plan on doing? And wouldn't we have gone to get dresses first?

"Alice, there're just a few problems with that. Let's see, we won't know what color we need, and hmm…let's see…I DON'T PLAN FOR ANYONE TO SEE MY UNDERWEAR!" Everyone turned to look at me. I was given odd looks, and then they all turned away.

"I already picked out your dress." She stated simply.

"I am more than capable of picking out my own clothes Alice." I may not like shopping, but if I had to wear it, I wanted to pick it out.

"Take a chill pill will ya'? Look, I found the dress a while ago and I know you'll love it. It's super cute. Plus I didn't buy it yet." At least she had some restraint.

"Okay, I trust you." She smiled, not in a conceited way, but in a loving way.

"Come over here…" She led me to the bra and underwear sets.

"Now I was thinking we should go with this." She held up a lacy teal bra and lacy teal boy-shorts. They weren't too flashy, it wasn't like a thong, and I think it could work. Alice was good, really good. She'll probably end up being like a personal shopper.

"I think it will work. I mean it won't kill me." We laughed for a good five minutes. She grabbed the same thing, only in white and we walked up to the register.

"Is this all for you ladies today?" The cashier looked about twenty-five. With a sweet face and blond curls down to her shoulders.

"Yes, thank you." Alice answered as she rang us up. Alice pulled her credit card out and swiped it.

"Alice you don't have to pay for me." I whispered in her ear. I didn't want her to waste money on me.

"Bella, shush. I want to." The lady put are things in pink bags.

"Have a nice day!" She said happily as she handed us our bags.

"Alright, now I can show you the dress I picked out. It will be perfect for you." I reached over and hugged her. She was so important.

"I love you so much Ali. You are the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I don't know how I lived without you. You're the sweetest person, and your fun." I whispered into her shoulder.

"Oh Bella, I love you too. You're just like a sister. This is why I was so excited for you to come. Everyone thought I was just being a spaz, but I knew everything would work out." We stood like that for a long time. I was about to cry. I wasn't sad, I really didn't know why. We finally pulled apart and continued to head to whatever store Alice had me going to.

"Eek! Here it is!" She stopped abruptly and I smacked into her. Alice was jumping up and down with excitement. "Come on!" She pulled me into the store before I could see its name.

As we strolled along the wall Alice looked around thoughtfully. She spun on her heel and faced me. "Are you ready?" She asked, sounding almost afraid.

"Yeah, I am." And I was. I was nervous…but ready. The store was filled with dresses. They were all elegant. Formal and semi-formal. I couldn't believe I was in a store like that. Everything was beautiful, and my dress, with Alice's taste, would be no exception.

"Okay Bella, go into the dressing room and I'll hand you the dress." She looked very excited. I did as I was told and went into the dressing room, turned, and locked the door. "I'll throw it over, so you better catch!" She hollered through the door.

A light dress landed over the door. I pulled it down and set it lightly on the bench. I slowly peeled off my shirt, my pants followed shortly after. I was stalling and I realized when I started to fold my clothes and put them on the other side of the bench. Sighing, I went to pick up my dress. I shimmied into it and felt the cool satin flow down my body. I looked down and adjusted the top so you couldn't see my bra. Then spun around to look in the mirror. "Oh…my…god." I gasped. It was the most gorges dress ever. The strapless top showed off my neckline and shoulders, making me seem proud and tall. From the waist up the powdery light blue silk hugged my curves. Then it flowed into a full skirt. It wasn't extremely puffy, but it still came out. There was a second layer of white netting coated with sparkles over the skirt. Small purple, flower buds coated the cups of my breasts in swirls. On the left side, every two or three inches down a row of flower sent a dotted line to the center of my stomach. There were a few lines of flowers that sprouted from the hip, going further down, and angling more with each row. Also from the left hip a section of the fabric curved in a line to the right, ending that section. This line had a trail of flower to accompany it the whole way down. The whole dress complemented my figure and hair. I could just imagine all the accessories Alice would have for me.

I stepped out of the dressing room and greeted a very awed Alice. "Ohmigosh! Bella you are stunning!" She was in a daze. I felt like a princess. I mean Looking in the mirror, I sparkled.

"Alice…" She got a worried look on her face. "I love it!" I squealed finally. I don't think I could have found a more perfect dress. Then something occurred to me. "Alice. Isn't this a bit formal for a dance. I mean it comes down to my feet." I looked at her questioningly as she looked away. What was she getting me into…?

"Alright…now don't get mad Bells. But umm… See it's a bit more than a dance." Oh my gosh. What did she mean?

"What are you talking about?" I barked at her. She cringed away. I guess I was being harsh but still.

"Well its kinda prom. But we aren't seniors so it's not a huge deal!" She said in one breath. Prom! I mean of all things to drag me to, prom! I don't even have a date. If she could get me one, it still wasn't my date! And unless she could get a certain brother of hers to join me I wasn't going to have a very good night! Instead of blowing up at her I just sighed and went along with it.

"You know what? Whatever, it doesn't matter. I love the dress, and as long as you get me a date, I can only hope everything will be fine." I stated as flatly as I could.

"I'm sorry Bells." Alice looked down and played with her hands.

"It's okay. You know I can't get this, right?" I asked her. I lifted my arm up to my right breast and pulled out the tag. $136.97. Perfect, just perfect.

"How is that relevant?" I looked at her dumbstruck. How was it not relevant? Realization hit her hard in the face. "Oh! Hahaha, you're funny. Did you think you were going to buy it? I wouldn't pick out the perfect dress and have you pay!" I knew she meant well, but she couldn't spend so much money on me. It didn't feel right. It made me feel like I was using her, but that was so far from the truth.

"Deep breaths just let it go Bella." I tried to calm myself as I walked back into the dressing room and changed out of the dress and into my clothes. When I looked in the mirror I noticed my hair was all over the place from changing. I combed my fingers through it and went out the door, the delicate dress dangling over my arm. Alice took it from my arms and rushed up to pay for it. I was so tired that I had to drag myself to the register, by the time I got there the cashier-a man with brown hair and a very bored look- was handing the dress back to her. She walked toward me and loop her arm through mine, spinning me around to walk in her direction. "So Bella, I was thinking we could-"She was cut short, stopping and looking in awe at the dress before her.

I laughed. "Well, go try it on Alice!" I urged, taking the dress off of the rack and pushing her into the dressing room. I handed her the dress and shut the dress. I sat out the for about fifteen minutes waiting for her. She must really love it if it took her so long to step out of the tiny room. But I could see why when she stepped out. I was so amazed. The short sleeves clung to her shoulders; they hung loosely off of the side. The deep purple corset hugged her in an endearing way. Stretching across her stomach and chest, with wide wrinkles. At her hips the skirt pulled slightly out and reached her ankles. It was barely shorter than mine. Hers looked heavier, but mine was more…grand I guess you could say. Mine way sweet, hers was timid. Anyway, the skirt was deep purple, with a translucent black cover over it. The whole dress was dipped in sparkles. All in all, the dress was purely Alice. I knew she had to get it. She stood there and for the first time ever, she seemed shy. 'She bit down on her lip and waited for my reaction. "Alice it's perfect. It's you!" I whispered. I was so happy! I hoped Alice liked it too. A smile began to stretch over her face, threatening to snap it in half. Giggles spilled from her lips and everything was perfect in the moment. I had a caring best friend. I had a wonderful dress. I had a fresh start. And while my first day had look like my few weeks here wouldn't work out that well, all of my worries seemed to subside in this moment…

OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

A/N: Me: Gee… I hope everything works out.

Cayla: Ashley! Would you shut-up? You are worrying you reviewers! God you are so pessimistic…

Me: I am not! I am merely Realistic. And what are you-

Cayla: Optimistic.

Me: Umm…no. Try idealistic. Gosh, now let me write my authors note!

Sorry about that guys. (My sister and I have this conversations in many ways all of the time!) This chapter was written in like four days! I finally have ideas for this story, yay! But every time I sat down and did my most detailed writing was like late at night! I mean with droopy eyes. This chapter didn't end how I pictured. It was supposed to had Alice Edward plans. Bella Alice plans. Possibly Alice POV and Edward POV. All in all it would have taken super long, and I thought that you guys deserved to have it end in a sweet moment before my dramatic rampage. Now when Edward and Bella get together, if they do. I might set her up with Jake or Mike who knows. LOL, but when Bella get's set up with someone and we get to the climax of my story. Aside from the epilogue do you want me to stretch it out? I mean do you want her to face an even bigger issue? Let me know any way you can. Oh and on my username is TorturedSecrets. Sometime I post videos for my stories just so you know. They aren't like cool trailers I made up. I have no idea how to do that. But just me talking about important things. On another note I am proud to say this is my longest chapter yet. It is over three thousand words. Oh! And the dresses are on my profile PM me about them if you want. Review!!!!
