Alice's Story…

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, blah, blah, blah…

Author's note: Heyy Guys! Thanks for the reviews; I'm hoping for 5 more reviews please? Any ideas are welcome. I'm running out of ideas myself. Thanks. R and R.

I woke up, wearily… Looking around I saw an unfamiliar room. Where was I? Then it all came back. Me going into the future and everything. I groaned and sank back into the bed. I was in Alice's house still. I slept for another hour then got up. I checked my watch. It was 10am. I headed downstairs. There was no one in the living room. Rubbing my eyes, I walked into the kitchen. Alice was just making pancakes. She turned around, holding a plate of freshly baked pancakes. I sighed. They smelt so yummy! She looked up, straight at me. The plate of pancakes went crashing to the ground. Her hand flew to her mouth, and she shrieked.

"Bella?" Tears fell down Alice's face.

Caitlyn started crying. How could Alice see me now? I took a step towards her, sliding on a pancake before falling down. I felt Alice pull me up before hugging me tightly.

"Oh it is you! Only Bella would have done that!"

I scowled.

"No need to make fun of me!"

"Oh Bella!" And Alice crushed me in another hug.

"You have to tell me everything! Where were you these last 10 years? Why didn't you tell us anything? You gave us an awful fright!" Continuing to bombard me with questions, Alice took me by the hand and dragged me to the living room.

"Now you stay here! Don't move an inch! I'll just put Caitlyn in her play pen, so she won't disturb us. Okay?"

I nodded happily because Alice could see me!

She went to the kitchen. I heard her soothing Caitlyn, before taking her upstairs. She returned in 2 minutes.

"Bella? Oh good, you're still here. Now tell me everything, and don't miss anything out!"

Quickly, I narrated everything that had happened since I had left her.

She listened carefully, giggling when I told her how upset Mike was when I ran away from him, and gasping when I told her about that strange room.

When I had finished, she was silent for a few seconds before squealing.

"So you're Bella from the past? No wonder you look so young! I was going to ask you what moisturizer you use…And you were here yesterday? But I couldn't see you? Now that is weird! So how come I can see you today? Maybe it's something to do with time traveling?" She mused.

After leaving her to think for a few minutes, I asked some questions of my own.

"So how's Rosalie?"

"She's fine. She married that guy she was flirting with at the bar. He's really nice, though he can be annoying. She just gave birth to a little baby boy. He's really sweet. She named him James."

I took in all this information. I decided not to ask about Edward. I didn't want to know the answer.

"And mum and dad? How are they?"

"They're distraught. They don't believe you're dead. Charlie's been putting posters of you everywhere and Renee has been helping."

"I should go see them."

"Yeah… I still can't believe this…My best friend has time travelled! This is just so cool!"

"If you don't mind me asking Alice…How long have I been missing?"

"Oh, 10 years exactly. Yesterday was the day we were in the club."

"So that would make you…?"

"29, yeah. It's so old compared to you. You're so lucky, being only 19!"

I smiled. Of course Alice would think of that.

I was currently eating lunch with Caitlyn and Alice. I had told Charlie and Renee, and in my opinion they took it pretty well. Renee did first faint when I knocked on the door, but other than that after she had woken up, they both listened to my story and believed me. There was some crying, from me and my parents. I sighed. After seeing Rosalie tomorrow, only Edward would be left. Would he have really have got married? Would he do that to me? I mean, it had been 10 years. It was stupid of me to think that he would be waiting for me to turn up.

"This lunch is delicious, when did you learn to cook so well?" I asked Alice, my mouth full of some yummy pasta.

"Ever since I had this little darling." She said ruffling Caitlyn's hair. "And the grocery shopping is just so much fun!"

I laughed. Alice still loved shopping. 10 minutes later, we were standing at the front door, all dressed and ready to go.

Alice looked me up and down, then wrinkled her nose.

"We need to go to shopping after meeting Rose!" I hugged Alice.

"Really? Are you sure?" I asked.

She just smiled one of those evil smiles that I knew meant I was in for a few hours of shopping.

We dropped Caitlyn off at nursery then drove upto a big white mansion. Wow!

"Oh did I mention that Emmett was rich?" She asked.

I thought I detected a trace of jealousy in her voice but I couldn't be sure.

We went upto the gates and Alice presses a red button.

"Guest acknowledged. Alice Whitlock."

A computer voice said. The gates opened, and Alice took my hand and dragged me inside behind her.

I looked around me in wonder. The garden was huge and filled with grass sculptures. There was a fountain in one corner, shimmering blue water trickled down. Alice knocked on the door, and a butler opened it.

"Miss Whitlock, it is nice to see you. Miss Hale is waiting in the living room."

He peered around Alice to look at me.

"And who may this be?"

"Nice to see you too James. This is Bella Swan, a friend of mine and Rose's."

The butler nodded at me, and smiled warmly.

I smiled back.

"It's nice to make your acquaintance Miss Swan."

"It's nice to meet you too, James."

He held the door open for us, and I followed Alice inside.

"A butler? Wow, that's posh!" I murmured to Alice.

She giggled.

We walked into a huge room to see Rose, lying on a sofa watching TV.

"Heyy Alice!" She said without turning around.

"Heyy Rose. Look who I've brought!"

Rosalie turned around. She looked older too, but she still looked gorgeous.

"Bella?"

She jumped off the sofa and threw herself at me. I hugged her back, smiling through my tears.

Rosalie continued to sob loudly. Alice helped me take her to the sofa. We calmed her down enough so that she listened to my story.

Her mouth dropped open.

"So you're only 19? Lucky!"

I laughed.

We chatted until 7pm when Alice looked at her watch and gasped.

"Sorry Rose, but we'll have to go. Jasper will be home soon, and he'll get worried. We also have to pick Caitlyn up from nursery."

"Oh but guys, you haven't met Em yet! Just 2 minutes I'll go get him."

Rosalie got up and ran out.

I looked at Alice and she grinned.

"You'll love him but he'll tease you to no end!"

I was a bit nervous. I'd heard a lot about Emmett and not all of it was good.

Just then Rosalie came in followed by a huge man. He really was huge. He had a boyish grin, and brown curly hair.

"You must be the famous Bella. Rosie told me so much about you!" He bounded over to me and crushed me in a huge bear hug.

"Umm…heyy to you too?" I croaked. I could hardly breathe.

"Emmy? You're killing her." Rose said.

Emmett let go of me, and smiled sheepishly at Rose.

Rose smiled at him, and they kissed.

Alice grinned at me and spoke up.

"Sorry to interrupt this love fest, but me and Bella really have to go."

Rose smiled and hugged me.

"See you tomorrow."

Emmett grinned and crushed me in another bear hug.

"See you Bells. Now back to the football match."

He ran off.

I followed Alice to the car and we drove home, picking Caitlyn up on the way. This time she recognized me.

She ran upto me and hugged me, calling me 'Aunty Bella' It made me feel really good.

Now to meet Jasper. Alice and Jasper had dated for over a year before I disappeared so he should know me. We were playing cards when Jasper came home from work.

"Alice, honey?" he called.

"In the living room, sweetie."

Alice smiled encouragingly at me.

Jasper walked in, kissed his wife then saw me. He stopped dead.

"Bella?" he whispered.

I laughed. I was hearing that a lot today.

"Jasper!" This time I ran to hug him. Jasper and I had been really good friends. I had introduced him to Alice.

We hugged and he kissed me on the forehead. I looked at Alice, but she was smiling.

This time Alice told Jasper what had happened as I was fed up of telling the story.

We all chatted over dinner and after putting Caitlyn to bed, Alice joined us in a huge game of scrabble.

I pondered over my words, I had an x but where to use it? After staying confused for a few moments, I made Luxe.

There were complaints immediately.

"That's not even a word!"

"You can't make that!"

I grinned at them, while taking more tiles.

"Are you sure you want to complain?"

I was sure they were thinking about what had happened to me.

"Fine."

Jasper smirked evilly.

"I don't like where this is going…" I said.

Jasper put two tiles in front of my word, D and E making the word Deluxe.

I gasped.

"But, you, but… this…Ugh!"

I sighed, exasperated.

"Unless you admit, that Luxe isn't a word?"

"Fine, you win!"

We all laughed. As we carried on playing. I looked at their faces. This was where I belonged, with my friends, but I knew that tomorrow would bring trouble. I was going to have to find out about Edward. But right now, I would just enjoy playing with my friends. Wait. Did Alice just make the word ture?

"That's not a word!"
