So, it's been like a month since I updated, I know, and I'm sorry. But it was really difficult to write, I was writing like a sentence per day. It was driving me insane, and it wasn't like I was stuck and didn't know what to write it was more like I couldn't be bothered, which is weird because this is probably my favourite story (as well as my longest). So I wrote over 5,000 words and that's enough for me, I really just want to get on with the wedding. (It's probably these thoughts that caused me to not want to write).
Third Person POV.
Cat awoke to find herself back in her own bed. She looked around confused, she was pretty sure she fell asleep in a tree last night… she heard a snore and saw Jacob next to her.
"Well that explains it" she sighed, Jacob must have found her and moved her, bringing her home. She laid back down and hugged one of her pillows, looking down at her sheets.
"There was a reason I was in tree instead of at home, I didn't wanna be here" Cat muttered. "Not only that but I'm not meant to be here" she remembered, her parents still thought they were at the Cullens' house. The thought of her parents made Cat frown and tears welled up in her eyes. Just before they spilled over her eyelids, Jacob's hands snaked around Cat's waist, pulling her towards him. Cat turned to look at him, he smiled at her but that just made Cat cry. He wiped her tears away
"Hey, it's alright" he told her
"How? I've been lied to my whole life, I might not even be me" Cat whispered, sobbing
"Just because your past may have changed doesn't mean you have. You are still Catherine Mitchell, the controller of fire and earth. You're the fastest thing on the planet, your sister is Sophie, blood related or not, she's still your sister. You lived in Miami, you now live in Forks, you're my girlfriend, the most important thing in my life. You're Bella's bridesmaid. All those things haven't changed. You're still you" Jacob comforted her. "It's just the little details, the small things that have changed. What makes you you, your personality, your likes and dislikes, those are the same" Cat's lip trembled and she buried her face in Jacob's bare chest as she sobbed, crying. Jacob stroked her hair, shushing her and telling her it was all alright. She eventually paused, thinking
"Oh…" she muttered
"What?" Jacob asked
"I'm a bridesmaid, we have a fitting today" she said, sitting up, her eyes were red and puffy
"You don't have to go, I'm sure Alice will understand" Jacob told her, rubbing her back
"No, that's not fair to Alice, I'm alright, I'll still go, I need something to distract me" Cat decided, she removed the blankets from her body, which were tangled around her and went into her bathroom. Jacob got up and followed her as Cat turned on the shower
"Are you sure?" Jacob asked, turning her face to face him
"Yeah, Alice has done a lot and it's not fair to her or Bella if I don't show up because I'm being a sad sap" Cat nodded
"You don't have to force yourself" Jacob assured her
"I can't lock myself in my room because of this, that will make people worry and no one would leave me alone anyway." Cat confessed "I'm not the kind who sits in bed and weeps over something, I'm the kind of girl who would go out and break a heap of things to get my frustration out. Sitting here would just make me worse, I'll be fine, leaving the house will do me good. That way I don't need to face my parents" she added on the end
"You can't avoid them forever" Jacob reminded her
"I can for at least a few days until I feel better" Cat admitted. She stripped off her clothes
"Now, you gonna join me or not?" she wondered, Jacob smirked at her
"That's my Cat" he said before leaning down and kissing her.
Cat wasn't the only one still upset over yesterday, Embry and Sophie had stayed outside on the cliff all night. Sophie was lying on Embry's chest as they lay on the ground. Their clothes were covered in dirt and their hair's and clothes were a mess from the rain. Sophie's eyes were red from where she'd cried herself to sleep in Embry's arms, which were still wrapped tightly around her. There was a ringing noise and Sophie moaned as it brought her out of her slumber. She very slowly opened her eyes as the ringing continued to sound over the cliff top. She looked around and her neck cracked, she moved her arm and that did too.
"Ouch" Sophie groaned, she reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, removing the water from it and pressing the answer button.
"Hello?" she said groggily
"Where are you?" Cat asked down the phone, Sophie looked around
"Dunno, on a cliff somewhere" Sophie answered
"A cliff? Why?" Cat questioned
"I was up on a cloud and Embry called me down, he came to a really high point and just called. I don't remember falling asleep but that's what we did" Sophie explained "Now I'm in pain and very stiff" she grumbled
"Well you're gonna have fun" Cat smirked
"What do you mean?" Sophie questioned
"We have a fitting to go to, remember" Cat explained, Sophie thought, her mouth hanging open before she groaned and rested her forehead on Embry's chest whining.
"I can hardly move let alone put clothes on" Sophie admitted
"Well I suggest you try. Come home and have a shower so we can go, Alice wants us there at nine" Cat said "And she wants us there on the dot. No later"
"What time is it?" Sophie wondered
"Half past eight" Cat answered
"Shit" Sophie swore, she hung up the phone and turned to Embry before she shook him "Embry get up!" she ordered "Get up!" she said over and over again. It wasn't working. She raised her hand and a ball of water appeared above it before she splashed it into Embry's face. He sprang up into a sitting position immediately, spluttering as he wiped the water from his eyes and looked around. Sophie had fallen and rolled into his lap when he'd sat up, Embry looked down at her
"What was that for?" he questioned
"You wouldn't wake up. We have to go and I didn't think you'd be very happy if I left without you" Sophie confessed.
"Go? Go where?" Embry wondered
"Home, I have a wedding fitting to attend for Bella's wedding in half an hour and I can't be late" Sophie explained, she sat up and a lot of her bones cracked "That's if I can even move" she grumbled. Embry stretched and stood up, his body was no where near as stiff as Sophie's as he was used to sleeping on the ground. He turned to Sophie before helping her to her feet.
"Alright, never again am I sleeping outside" she decided. She walked out the tightness in her muscles and the tension in her bones before she began to jog off and away from the cliff. Embry phased and walked along side her, his strands matching Sophie/ When her body stopped cracking and the pain dimmed, Sophie began to run properly. They reached home with about fifteen minutes to spare before Sophie ran straight to her room to have a shower, stripping off her clothes and throwing them into her wash basket as she went.
Sophie got dressed and ready and was back out the door within ten minutes.
"I have patrol to do" Embry informed her when he wrapped his arms around her waist
"That's alright, I didn't think you'd want to come to the Cullens' house anyway" Sophie smirked, Embry leaned down to kiss her gently.
"Alright come on" Cat appeared and grabbed Sophie wrist pulling her away from Embry
"What are you still doing here? I thought you'd be gone already" Sophie confessed
"I'm not that mean" Cat admitted "See you Embry, Jake just left" Cat informed him
"Alright, see ya Cat" Embry grinned. Cat waved over her shoulder while Sophie blew him an kiss and the two sprinted off towards the Cullens' house as fast as they could.
"We're gonna be late" Cat worried
"Calm down it'll be fine" Sophie assured her
"This is Alice we're talking about" Cat hissed
"Alice loves us"
"Alice loves planning the wedding, friendship gets thrown out of the window when she's like this, haven't you noticed?" Cat reminded her
"You're over reacting, we'll be fine" Sophie said taking a deep breath
"Even you don't believe that" Cat grumbled
"I'm trying too ok" Sophie admitted "Don't dampen my spirits" she scolded. They reached the Cullens' house and ran straight into the house and up to the lounge room. The Cullens were all standing around waiting for them, Cat checked her watch
"Two minutes left to spare" she grinned, she shared a high-five with Sophie before Sophie did the maths in her head.
"As if it took us three minutes to get here" she asked surprised, Cat nodded "Wow, we're getting slack" Sophie muttered
"Good you're here. Now we can get started" Alice said walking into the room. There was a women walking in behind her, a measuring tape around her neck and a man with a clip board behind her.
"This is Jacquine, she's a french designer and is going to measure us all and make the best outfits there are" Alice smiled excitedly
"She's gonna make them from scratch?" Bella questioned surprised
"Well, she brought all different types of dresses and tuxes, all with different styles and designs. We're gonna see which ones look best on who and we're then gonna see which ones would be the best pick and which ones I like the best." Alice explained
"You like? We have to wear the dresses so shouldn't we get a choice?" Sophie thought
"Well, yes, but it depends if I agree with you or not" Alice shrugged, she looked around "Where are the boys?" she wondered
"Boys?" the twins asked
"Yes, the… boys" Alice nodded, changing her choice of words when she remembered Jacquine was next to her still. The twins looked at her completely confused
"You wanted them to come too?" they chorused surprised
"Well, they're gonna be coming and so they have to look absolutely the best too" Alice nodded
"Embry had… work and left" Sophie explained
"And we didn't think they'd want to be… here. You never told us you wanted them to come too" Cat confessed
"So they're now out of reach?" Alice questioned, the girls nodded
"In a sense" Cat added. Alice groaned
"I needed them to try on tuxes so that they matched you two" she stomped her foot.
"We could try and get them here if you want" Sophie shrugged,
"You just said they were unreachable?" Alice said
"In a sense" Cat repeated
"Well what are you standing here for! Go get them!" Alice ordered, the twins sighed and left the room.
"Naturally we couldn't get anything right" Cat grumbled
"Yeah" Sophie agreed. They stood outside and Cat phoned up the Clearwater's house.
"Hello?" Seth answered
"Hey Seth we need you to do us a favour" Cat said getting straight to the point
"Cat? What's up? How are you feeling? Are you alright?" Seth answered worried, Cat smiled at his worries
"I'm fine, I'll be one hundred percent back to normal in no time. Anyway, Embry's on patrol and Jacob's running around somewhere, we need you to tell them to come to the Cullens' house as soon as possible" Cat explained
"Why?" Seth wondered, Sophie took the phone
"Because Alice wants to play dress up with them too and there is no point in arguing with her when she's made her mind up" she explained, Seth laughed
"She's been having too much fun with this wedding"
"Definitely" Sophie nodded
"And now she's gonna torture Jake and Em too! I'll go tell them immediately" Seth chuckled
"Careful, you don't want to scare them off. Tell them that they'll have us hunting them to the ends of the earth if they don't come, because if they don't we're the ones who are gonna get in trouble for it" Sophie explained, Cat took her phone back
"Yeah, we're gonna get beaten and chewed out if they don't turn up. That pixie is damn scary when she wants to be" she admitted
"Don't need to tell me twice" Seth agreed. He was the only member of the pack who not only called the Cullens by name but also didn't mind joking about them.
"Thanks a bunch Seth. We'll talk to you later" Cat thanked
"No problem, and take it easy, 'kay" he ordered
"We will, don't worry about us, we're stronger than we look" Cat smiled
"Doesn't matter. I'll see you guys later"
"Yeah, bye Seth" Cat hung up and sighed "That kid worries a little too much"
"At least he's worried instead of ignoring it" Sophie shrugged "He knows it's a big deal"
"I wish it wasn't" Cat muttered
"We can't do much about that"
"I know" Cat sighed. The twins turned around and headed back into the house, Bella was missing, as was Alice while everyone else was sitting about waiting.
"Are they finding Bella's dress?" Cat wondered, they nodded, Edward sighed, knowing how Bella felt about this.
"So, they coming?" Alice asked walking into the lounge
"Embry might not be coming till later, he's patrolling" Sophie repeated
"Seth's gonna tell them for us, it's anyones bet if they actually turn up though" Cat shrugged
"They better!" Alice threatened "Now come on, I need you two" Alice grabbed one of each of the twins' wrists, one in each hand, and dragged them off into the other room.
"Alice, we can walk on our own, no need to rip our hands off" Cat said when she let go
"You've already wasted two minutes, I need to get back on schedule." Alice informed them
"Oh my god, two minutes" Cat said gasping, Alice narrowed her eyes at her.
"Two minutes is crucial!" Alice informed them seriously. She picked up a few items of clothing and gave the twins one each. "Go put these on quickly!" she ordered, both girls were holding a pair of mini shorts
"With what?" Cat questioned
"You're underwear"
"You want us to walk around in our underwear and shorts?" Sophie asked raising an eyebrow
"It'll be easier to change clothes if you're wearing less. Now, it's either that or no shorts at all!" Alice said sternly the girls rolled their eyes and walked into the bathroom, changing in an instant before joining Alice and Bella again and throwing their clothes on a near by chair.
"Alright" Cat sighed, she was feeling more comfortable than Sophie was
"Now, this is the designer," Alice introduced, it was the first time the twins had noticed someone else was in the room, she had her assistant with the clipboard with her
"Her name's Jacquine and she's gonna make all the outfits" Alice grinned
"Yeah, you told us already" Cat reminded her
"You're gonna make all the outfits in three days?" Sophie asked surprised
"No problem" Jacquine spoke with a french accent. The twins looked at one another doubtfully "Arms out please" Jacquine ordered, the twins did so and Jacquine took all their measurements. She was concentrating so much she didn't react to their odd temperatures. Every measurement she took she told her dorky assistant who wrote them all down on his clip board for her. She stood up when she was finished taking measurements and spoke a few other things to the assistant as he scribbled down a few more notes.
"Alright" Jacquine muttered, she examined them all before she and the clipboard guy disappearing through another door.
"Where's she going?" Sophie wondered, her question was answered when Jacquine walked back through with a bunch of dresses in her hands.
"Try on this" Jacquine handed both the twins a few items of clothing, well more like dumped the dresses on them. The twins looked at the colours, there were several different shades of colours.
"Aren't we meant to have a theme?" Cat wondered
"We'll look at colours later, first we need to see what designs fit you both best" Alice explained "Now go!" she ordered. Cat and Sophie tried on the first dress, they were starting with their natural colours, red and purple for Cat and white and blue for Sophie.
"Those colours match you both perfectly" Jacquine admitted
"Better hope so" Cat muttered under her breath, Sophie smirked and Alice rolled her eyes, they being the only two who could hear her. The first dresses were tight and fitting, Cat frowned at it.
"What's wrong?" Alice wondered
"I don't like it" she admitted
"But it fits you perfectly" Jacquine admitted
"Yeah, it shows off all your curves" Alice nodded
"It's to tight, and… constricting. I don't like the tightness around my hips" Cat explained
"I don't mind it" Sophie shrugged "Not my favourite design but, it's not bad"
"What about around your waist?" Alice wondered, walking over to Cat
"Oh I like the tightness around my waist, shows off a bit of my curves, it's just my hips" Cat smiled.
"You'd see more curves if it's tight around your hips" Sophie reminded her
"But I don't like it" Cat repeated "So too bad." Alice sighed
"Well, come on then, next dress." she ordered. The next dress was long and went down to the girls toes, they were tight around the breasts but then flowed freely down their legs. It was a peachy colour.
"What about this one?" Sophie asked Cat
"It's better, I'm not a fan of long dresses but it's nice material" Cat smiled
"What about the colour?" Alice asked
"Colour? I thought we were just looking at styles?" Cat wondered
"We are, but we need to choose the colour eventually anyway" Alice shrugged, Cat rolled her eyes.
"Well," Cat began "It's not bad, but the peachy colour doesn't really, speak to me" Cat admitted
"Speak to you?" Bella questioned
"Yeah, like when you see something and you immediately know it's the right one" Cat explained "Like you knew exactly which ring to get Edward immediately when you saw it"
"But this is a dress?" Sophie reminded her
"So, it's the same concept" Cat shrugged
"What about you Sophie?" Jacquine asked her
"I like it, though we have to make sure its the right length when we get some shoes to go with it" Sophie reminded them, Alice gasped and everyone looked at her surprised
"I forgot about your shoes!" she said outraged, Alice ran out of the room, managing to keep a normal pace until she turned the corner.
"What's she gonna do at this time?" Bella wondered
"Order some online" Sophie shrugged
"Only it's gonna be difficult to buy a pair of shoes and then buy a dress to go with them" Cat sighed
"Alice will figure something out" Sophie guessed
"Oh great" Bella muttered. Cat suddenly perked up and smiled
"The boys are here" she cheered before going to leave the room. Alice appeared in the doorway suddenly and blocked her path
"Oh no you don't" she said sternly
"Hey, move" Cat whined
"No" Alice disagreed
"Why not?" Cat questioned
"Cause he's not allowed to see you?" Alice answered
"Why? I'm not the bride" Cat reminded her
"Doesn't matter, I want everyone to be dazzled by you two too!" Alice said stubbornly, she grabbed Cat around the waist and pulled her back into the room
"Why?"
"Because" Alice answered "He's not to see you until the wedding. I want him to be dazzled"
"I'm not the bride, it's not all about me" Cat struggled
"But you are a bridesmaid and that's important!" Alice said
"I don't see why, I'm not supposed to be in the spot light"
"You will be for Jake"
"But that's cause I'm his imprint!" Cat reminded her
"Exactly, I want to stop him in his tracks"
"Why?"
"Because, everyone must be dazzled by everything" Alice said, she was struggling a little at holding Cat back, despite her strength
"He's dazzled by me anyway, I'm not exactly dressed up at the moment so that doesn't matter" Cat complained
"Yes it does, I can't have any distractions!" Alice argued.
"You mean like disappearing to buy shoes?" Sophie reminded her
"I'll finish it in a minute" Alice assured her while Cat continued to struggle in her grip before the door suddenly opened and Jacob stuck his head around the corner
"Jake!" Cat beamed, Jacob entered the room and smiled at her before looking at Alice's arms wrapped around Cat's middle. He raised an eyebrow at them
"She wont let me go" Cat frowned
"Why?" Jacob asked looking at Alice, Alice was glaring at him
"Guess there's no point in stopping her now" she ground her teeth and released Cat. Cat ran up to Jacob and he pulled her into a hug before giving her a sweet kiss.
"For some reason she didn't want you to see me" Cat shrugged
"Why?"
"I don't know, it's not like we've found the right dress yet, nor am I dolled up" Cat turned to Alice who shrugged and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Don't you know how to knock?" Alice accused Jacob
"Course I do" Jacob nodded
"Then why didn't you?"
"Well, I heard some noises and came to see what was going on. Plus I've been told to rush here, otherwise the twins would be in trouble, thought I'd check on them"
"They're fine" Alice ground her teeth "Now leave! We're busy" she ordered. Cat rolled her eyes and released Jacob. Jacob sighed but opened the door to leave, though he glanced back at Cat before leaving.
"Now, back on track please. Next dress" Alice ordered. Cat and Sophie sighed. It only took them about ten more dresses before the girls were pleased, but more importantly, Alice agreed with their choice. The dresses were long, to the floor, and were silky. The top was tight around the bust and strapless, they were semi tight around the waist before loosening up and flowing down to the ground.
"They look gorgeous on your both!" Jacquine nodded proud
"That's the one!" Alice cheered "It's perfect!"
"Now we just need to choose a colour" Bella muttered to Sophie who rolled her eyes in agreement.
"Alice what colour do you think will suit the both of us?" Sophie questioned, Alice thought
"Well white would be good but there is no way you can wear white"
"Well durr, that's Bella's colour for the day" Cat reminded her
"I know" Alice thought. "How about a goldish colour?"
"Gold?" Cat questioned
"Well, the sun is yellow and so is sand, but yellow is not the best of colours, especially if it's bright, so what about gold instead?" Alice explained, the girls thought about it
"Never really worn gold before" Cat muttered, Sophie nodded
"Do we have any gold to test?" she wondered
"Hmm, wait here" Jacquine said before running into the other room. They waited for a few minutes before she returned with a goldish coloured dress.
"Alright, put this on" she ordered in her french accent. Cat pulled the dress on first, after removing the first one.
"Well?" she wondered after Sophie had zipped up the back.
"The gold goes perfectly with your gold hair" Jacquine commented
"But doesn't clash because of your eyes" Alice smiled "And your tan is just perfect, not to dark so the colour doesn't look weird"
"Thanks" Cat muttered
"I don't know, I think it blends with her too much" Bella thought, Alice and Jacquine stared at Cat for a while before sighing
"If Bella doesn't like it then we need to try something else" Alice thought
"Yeah right, she just changed her mind" Cat disagreed
"I'm glad, it really does blend with you too much" Sophie thought
"Thanks" Cat said
"Take it off" Alice sighed. Cat obliged before Jacquine and Alice started muttering with one another over the right colour for both girls.
"You know…" Sophie began after what seemed like ten minutes, the two stopped and turned to her "We could both just wear purple" she shrugged
"Purple?" Alice questioned
"Yeah, if you get the right shade then we both look pretty good in purple. It's kind of like the middle colour, and when you mix blue and red together you get purple" Cat nodded
"What shade would we need?" Bella wondered
"Dunno" Sophie shrugged
"Dark suits me best, but light suits Sophie" Cat thought.
"Amethyst is good for us both, so is orchid and violet" Sophie listed
"A dark violet surprisingly looks good on us both" Cat nodded
"Blue violet isn't bad" Sophie continued
"Why didn't you guys tell us this before?" Bella questioned
"You didn't ask" Cat shrugged
"We shouldn't have needed too" Bella muttered, the twins shrugged
"Alright, we need some purple samples" Alice said to Jacquine who nodded and went to collect some. When she returned however she didn't return with just a few dresses, she returned with a whole rack full of different shades of purple dresses. The twins gapped at them all.
"Do we have to try all those on? Or can we just lean them up against ourselves?" Cat asked, Sophie nodded, a look of dread on her face.
"Leaning them against you would be quicker" Bella tried to convince, also over sitting around not doing anything.
"Fine, we'll start with that, but if it doesn't give us a clear picture you'll have to try them on" Alice ordered, the twins grinned and each pulled a dress off of the rack. Cat grabbed the darkest and Sophie the lightest.
"I see what you mean by lightest and darkest" Alice nodded examining them both
"Try swopping" Jacquine decided, the girls gave her a look before raising an eyebrow at one another. They shrugged and switched dresses. Alice beamed
"What are you talking about?" she questioned, going completely against what she'd just said "Sophie looks perfect in dark purple!" everyone looked at Sophie, she looked from each face before smiling
"Well, it used to be like that" Cat shrugged
"That's it, we're having those dresses —" she pointed to the ones on they'd chosen "— in that colour" she told Jacquine, Jacquine smiled and nodded in agreement before turning to her assistant who began to scribble everything down.
"Finally" Sophie said, she through the dress with the other choices and threw her clothes back on before rushing for the door. Cat rolled her eyes and followed her actions, only slower
"Hold it!" Alice ordered. Sophie paused with her hand on the door handle
"Of course it can't be over" she whined
"We need you two here to help pick Bella's dress" Alice explained
"I thought you would have done that already?" Cat wondered
"If that was true I wouldn't be here" Bella rolled her eyes
"Plus, she needed to approve of your dresses, seeing as it is her wedding" Alice reminded them
"I didn't hear her approve?" Sophie admitted
"Well, I saw her nod" Alice shrugged, the three girls knew that was her coded way of saying she saw it in a vision.
"Alice, haven't you already picked Bella's dress?" Cat wondered
"I have a very limited selection I need her to try on" Alice admitted
"How many is limited?" Sophie wondered, fearing the time she still needed to spend 'trapped' here.
"About six" Alice assured her
"Oh… I can handle that" Sophie said
"Except that they're wedding dresses and take forever to get on and off" Cat reminded her, Sophie sighed and flopped into a seat
"Let's just get it over with" she muttered.
"You're such a spoil sport" Alice grumbled before Jacquine disappeared to switch the bridesmaid's dresses for the small selection of wedding dresses Alice had picked out.
"Don't you still need to do tuxes too?" Cat remembered
"Yes, but that wont take as long" Alice assured them
"Sure" Sophie complained, Alice rolled her eyes and ignored her. It took them about three and a half hours to get through all six dresses, Bella was over it by the time she'd taken off the first one.
"Can't I just look at them instead of trying them all on?" Bella asked annoyed
"No. We need to see if it fits your body right" Alice said sternly
"Can't you just decide on a dress and then change you mind?" Cat hinted
"It doesn't work like that" Alice confessed
"Surely you must have some idea?" Sophie said, hoping Alice had had a vision and she could leave.
"No, it hasn't been decided yet so I don't know" Alice repeated. Sophie groaned. Jacquine was to busy helping Bella into the next dress to notice the strange behaviour the four were having or about their choice of words for the topic. Her assistant however was not and had a confused look on his face from Alice's last sentence.
"Bella, make a decision" Sophie pleaded
"It's not mine to make really" Bella shrugged, causing Jacquine to hit her to make her stay still
"Yes it is, it's your dress" Cat rolled her eyes
"Well, none have taken my fancy yet" Bella sighed, obviously as over all the dresses as Sophie was and disappointed by this fact.
"It'd be so much easier if we could just find pictures; show Bella till she liked one and send her measurements off" Cat thought
"We can't do that, the dress could be the wrong material or the wrong pattern" Alice shot at her
"The pattern doesn't matter if Bella likes it" Cat shrugged
"It does, what if it doesn't fit her body type right?" Alice asked
"You get another one, this is why you do the fitting long before the wedding, not three days before, gives you time to change your mind" Cat scolded, Alice glared at her before turning back to Bella and the next dress she had on.
"What if we get through all six and still haven't made a decision?" Sophie wondered, dreading the thought
"We'll have more of an idea by the end of this then we did at the start" Alice assured her
"Are you sure?" Sophie asked, doubting her, Alice didn't respond. As Sophie had predicted, they didn't make a choice on a dress but Alice released them all anyway, saying she had a vague idea on what she wanted. Cat reminded her of the deadline again but Alice just waved it off. Sophie collapsed onto Embry's lap out in the living room where the rest of the Cullens, Jacob and Embry were watching the TV.
"How was it?" Embry asked brushing her hair
"Awful!" Sophie groaned, Emmett and Jacob laughed at her, she didn't even make a move to stop them
"Sophie just doesn't like shopping" Cat smirked "It wasn't that bad" she said before Jacob could ask as Cat sat in his lap
"Not that bad? It was the longest how-ever-long of my life" Sophie whined
"Aww" Emmett teased, Sophie waved her hand and Emmett's nose froze. He began to struggle with it before smashing the ice, causing everyone to laugh at him.
"I'm not in the mood Emmett" Sophie informed him, closing her eyes.
"Alright, come on boys, your turn!" Alice called from the other room
"All of us?" Jasper asked her. Alice came out f the room and looked at them all thoughtfully before realising she might not be able to get them all in the one room
"Alright, dogs first" she ordered. Jacob sighed and Embry rolled his eyes before the twins got off of their wolves and the two hot bodied boys followed Alice to begin the torture. They didn't even bother to argue, knowing that if the twins couldn't get out of it, there was no way they could.
Unlike the twins, the two boys only took about half an hour. After that they all went into the separate room two at a time, taking it in turns. Emmett went with Edward and Jasper with Carlisle. They were done just as quickly as the wolves were, probably quicker thanks to the fact that Alice knew what suited them all perfectly. Alice, Rosalie and Esme were the only ones who didn't need to endure the torture, apparently Alice already had things picked out for the three of them. Sophie had put up a stink when she found this out, but Alice made the point to reminded her that she needed to find a colour for both her and Cat and she didn't know how to do that without them.
"I've only known you for so long, I need more time if I'm to figure two people like you two out" Alice shrugged. Sophie huffed and sat back into the cushions of the couch with Embry next to her.
"Well can we go home now or do you still need us?" Cat wondered
"I think I'm good, you remember I need you, Cat, here long before the wedding begins?" Alice reminded her
"Yes Alice I remember perfectly" Cat sighed
"Why?" Jacob wondered
"Because I'm creating all the outside decorations" Cat grinned
"What kind of decorations?" Embry wondered
"The natural kind" Cat shrugged, the boys rolled they eyes, understanding what they meant.
"Alright your dismissed" Alice said before she and Jacquine entered into a deep discussion, Jacquine's assistant scribbling everything down.
"Finally" Sophie cheered, she stood up and forced Cat and the boys to hurry up, she didn't calm down until she was outside.
"Jeez, Sophie. Spending time with Alice is not good for you" Cat realised
"She makes me feel drained" Sophie sighed
"She never used to…" Embry realised, Sophie frowned
"Probably has something to do with all that's happened over the last day to two" Sophie muttered, reminding the three of them of the past events, Cat frowned also and they all fell into silence.
"Have we decided on what we're going to do about it yet?" Cat wondered after a while of walking in silence
"Not yet. You got any ideas?" Sophie wondered
"Only that we can't ignore it" Cat mumbled
"I noticed the Cullens didn't seem to notice anything, didn't you tell them?" Embry asked softly, knowing the twins told them almost everything.
"They didn't ask" Cat shrugged and Sophie nodded. Jacob placed an arm around Cat
"I'm sure everything's going to work itself out. Until then, we need our happy, cheerful girls" he encouraged.
"Yeah, why don't you try and be your normal selves until you come up with a plan?" Embry suggested
"Easier said then done" Cat reminded them with one of her eyebrows raised
"Well, that's a start" Jacob smirked, talking about her expression, Cat rolled her eyes.
"What would we do without you two?" Sophie wondered
"Who knows" Embry smirked
"Probably wouldn't have such a complicated life" Cat smirked with a shrug
"You're saying it's our fault?" Embry joked
"Did I say that?" Cat wondered
"You implied it" Jacob said before picking Cat up and throwing her over his shoulder. She started laughing as Jacob began to tickle her. Embry went to make a move on Sophie but she jumped out of his way. She laughed as he gave her a look before turning and running away laughing. Cat did a flip out of Jacob's grip before waving to him and running off after her sister. The boys sighed and shook their heads but smiled, glad the twins were capable of smiling and laughing even after what they'd been through.
