This is pre-party next chapter is the actual party.

Saturday- before the party

"Bye mom, have fun."

"We'll come home tomorrow morning to give you guys some time clean up." My mom was so understanding. If I had asked my dad he would have said no. "Oh, your brother is coming home today, and he prepared to party. I told him no drinking because he would be the only one allowed to."

"OMG Emmett is actually coming home. Now leave, I have to set up." They left and I thought about my brother. He graduated last year and was working in Africa. He helped build houses and anything else the people had to do there.

"Alice would you like me to help you set up?" Edward just, like, appeared next to me.

"Jeez, don't do that." I glared at him.

"What?" His voice cracked and I started to laugh at him.

"Don't sneak up on me. But could you go pick up Bella. Tell her to make sure she brings her dress." He saluted me and walked off towards the garage. I went inside to remove any valuables and breakable items from the first floor.

"Helloooooo, anyone home?"

"Emmett!" I ran and hugged him. "Eww you stink, go take a shower."

"But-"

"Now." He pouted and walked away. From the back it looked like he had gotten more muscle and he had a great tan.

"Hey whose car is in my spot?" Now Edward was home.

"That is my brother's car."

"Emmett's home! Where is he?" Bella squealed. Everyone here loved Emmett, he helped wherever he could and he was a people magnet.

"Right now he is in the shower because he stinks; I don't know how anyone could sit next to him on that plane. Right now we have to set up for the party. Edward you can go make some food."

"Like what?"

"Like snacks; cookies, brownies, punch. Whatever comes to your head."

"What do I have to do?"

"Bella, you get to help me decorate the house."

"Oh, joy." We went to my room to grab the bag of supplies.

"Do you like Edward?"

"He's nice."

"No, like, do you like him, like him?"

"I don't know I haven't really talked to him that much."

"Well I think you two like each other so I am going to get you to together." I already had something planned, and it was in the form of a game.

"No, if something happens I want it to be because it happened. Not because my best friend forced something to happen."

"Fine." I wasn't facing her so she couldn't see my face, which was grinning.

"So should I plait the streamers this time, or just twist them."

"You can plait them."

"But that takes a really long time." She brought up the idea and now she is complaining.

"So you brought it up, so you have to live with it." I went to go find Emmett; he should be out of the shower by now. I knocked on his door.

"Come in."

"Hey do you want to help prepare for the party."

"Am I really going to be the oldest person there?"

"It is a high school party. But Rosalie just graduated college last year too. She has service with me."

"Service?"

"Oh mom didn't tell you. Well you see, there was this absolutely adorable shirt that I was reaching for in the store, and someone grabbed it. So I hit her and got the shirt. But Bella's dad made me give it to her and I got a court order saying I have to work in the cafeteria in the college after school."

"And what did Rosalie do."

"Well there is a park in front of her neighborhood, and she didn't notice the sign that said not to cross the grass, and she crossed the grass, which had burglar alarms, so she has service with me."

"Wow, you have a record."

"Well so do you." He had gotten in a bar fight once. This guy punched him, and of course Emmett easily knocked him out, but it still went on his record. Even though everyone there said it was self-defense.

"Yeah self-defense is different than injuring someone over a shirt."

"Just help us put up the decorations."

"Fine. What do I have to do."

"Go ask Bella."
