A/N: Sorry its been awhile, I've been in the middle of a cross country move and I haven't had internet for the longest time, good news is, I have so many chapters for you guys it's not even funny. I'll post a few tonight and then one more every chance I get. Enjoy!

Chapter Thirteen

Bella POV

I spent the the rest of the day shopping with Alice. Not something I would do willingly but this was for a good cause; Dana didn't have any clothes to her name now and I had to make sure Alice bought some clothes she could be comfortable in. Somehow I didn't see Dana wearing silk cocktail dresses, seeing as she was a tomboy. I made sure plenty of basketball shorts and t-shirts made their way into the shopping cart. Every time I added something to the cart, Alice would pout at me.

"Okay," I said after two and a half hours in a lingerie shop. "I think we have enough clothes for Dana. We should bring it back to the house before she wakes up. I know I can't be there when the change is done."

"Don't worry, Bella. Dana will be a vegetarian like the rest of us," Alice encouraged. "She'll even be in control enough for you to see her again in only a few weeks. I see Dana making very quick progress. Faster than anyone else I've seen."

"Maybe she'll have an ability," I pondered as we left the store. "What do you see?"

"I'm not too clear on that but in exactly forty-nine days, I'll bring you over and you and Dana can catch up."

"Seriously? What about the Newborn year?" I asked.

"Maybe that's her ability," Alice postulated. "Or maybe your friendship is strong enough to break that barrier. I don't see her hanging around anyone else, just us and you. You're the only human I see her around."

"Well, we can ponder that in a few days..." a thought occurred to me. "Are you sure I'm human in your visions?"

"Positive."

Damn, I cursed inwardly. If Dana did some uncontrollable Newborn thing and hurt me, it would have forced Edward to change me. I mentally slapped myself, was I that desperate? Carlisle promised he would change me and I still had plenty of time to convince Edward to do it instead. Either way, I was going to be changed too, no need to do stupid things.

"Edward's not going to let me see her though," I said. "Visions of controlled Newborn vampire or not, she's still a Newborn vampire, and therefore unpredictable. He won't buy it."

"I know," she said proudly. "That's why we won't tell him."

"Alice, what part of mind-reader don't you understand?"

"No worries, Jasper will be teaching Dana almost twenty-four/seven, and I will be helping him. Giving me no time to dwell on the exact day you and her will reunite. You just keep it to yourself, too and everything will work out. I'll make sure the others are out on the day in question and then I'll call you."

"Sounds like a plan, but how am I supposed to not see my friend for two months?"

"That's our next stop," she said pulling up to a Wallgreens.

After getting stationary personalized with my name, (I still don't see why Alice insisted on that) a large box of pencils, and envelopes, Alice drove me back to the Cullens' place.

"You know, Alice," I said eying the ridiculous stationary. "This it the twenty-first century, in case you weren't paying attention, and we have this amazing, new thing called e-mail. We can send virtual messages though the internet. You know, we can even talk and text through wireless telephones, they're called cell phones."

"Ha ha," Alice stuck her tongue out at me. "Dana won't know her own strength for awhile; using a computer or a cell pone without breaking it is going to be difficult. At least if she breaks a pencil, there's no problem getting replacements."

"Right."

"That and it's more fun this way."

We went inside and found Jasper and Dana in the living room. Jasper still hadn't moved.

Alice took all of our spoils upstairs to the guest bedroom which would soon be Dana's. I walked across the room to sit next to Jasper.

"Is anyone else around?" I asked him.

"They went out," he said.

"And Edward?"

"Out."

I looked at Dana. After she was finished changing I wouldn't see her for two months. That thought made me sad but then another thought pushed the other away; I would be seeing her again in less than two months. I hadn't even thought that her control would be gained so quickly. That thought made me excited and a bit impatient for that day.

Jasper eyed me, confused at my strange mood swing.

"Just this morning, you were mourning for your friend's loss," he said. "Now you're excited and impatient? I'm beginning to wonder if Rosalie is right in thinking you're a hypocrite, or maybe just bipolar."

"No, I'm not bipolar, but I know something you don't know," I sang.

"Are you going to tell me?"

"Can you keep it from Edward?"

"What could you know that you would want to keep from Edward but be perfectly happy if I or Alice knew?"

"Alice already knows, that's why I know and you don't; cause she hasn't gotten the chance to tell you yet, but I'm not going to let her. I want to be the one to tell you because you cheered me up this morning so I want to be the one to cheer you up now. That and I'm pretty sure Dana is listening and the news will cheer her up too."

"And why can't Edward know?"

"You know once I tell you."

"I can keep things from Edward."

I smiled and began to tell him and Dana the great news.

A/N: Anyway, like I said, sorry for the long wait. Read and Review!
