Alice's Barbie, ATTEN: Bella

[Bella Swan]

Bella silently thanked Alice for helping her with the heels. She had only put on one, and it wasn't exactly on right. She headed over to the bed, but due to the difference in the length of her legs made her trip before making her second step. She launched herself right onto the bed, in the spot Alice had pointed her to.

Bella could have sworn she heard giggle, escape Alice's lips before they were silenced. She propped herself up on her elbows and blew a lock of hair out of her face, still laying awkwardly on the bed.

"Alice, I think your vision is a bit flawed. There is no way I'll only fall once. I don't even have them both on and I've already fallen once," Bella said exasperated.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice giggled at Bella who just fell, of course she seen it happening but felt the need to not tell her because she would of never put the heels on.

"Silly Bella, I said you would only fall once during your night with Edward. I promise that was the only other time I see you fall." Alice smiled and walked over to Bella and sat by her. Before she started her hair she thought it would be nice to paint her nails.

"Bella would you please let me do a French manicure on you? It would look so pretty with your dress." Alice pouted out her lip.

[Bella Swan]

Bella did not necessarily like it when her clumsiness got her laughed at. But if she didn't want to get laughed at, she shouldn't be so clumsy.

Her eyebrows pulled together when Alice mentioned a French manicure. Bella had stubby fingernails, because she was in a habit of biting them down to the pink. She knew Alice wouldn't have much to work with in the normal manicure department, probably why she wanted Bella to have fake nails. Bella tried to figure out what she would do when she was nervous if she couldn't bite her nails, and she couldn't think of many alternatives. She would have said no, and drawn the line at her nails for fear that she would poke out her eye, but Alice actually had the nerve to give Bella the pout.

No one with a heart could resist that pout. Bella had been won over by that face to many times to count. She really didn't want to, but that sad puppy face, made Bella feel awful if she refused her. She loved Alice and liked to make her happy if she could. Bella had never had a really close friend outside of Renee, or a sister. And that made Alice all the precious to her.

"All right, Alice, have your fun. But if i poke my eye out, it's your fault."

[Alice Cullen]

Alice just looked Bella and shook her head. "A lot of people have long nails and don't poke their eyes out." She started to apply the tips to Bella's nails. "So if you poke you eye out it will be your own fault." Alice giggled at the annoyed look on Bella's face.

"Don't worry Bella you will be fine. I don't know why you get so worked up about making yourself all fixed up." Alice finished with the last nail.

"Its nice to make yourself look great for the ones you love." She looked at work and was happy with the outcome.

She looked over to the curling iron to see that it was hot enough. "Okay Bella, its time to curl your hair." Alice pointed to the chair for Bella to sit in.

[Bella Swan]

Bella actually didn't mind it when Alice played with her hair. She loved the feel of Alice's large selection of brushes and combs and picks on her scalp. It reminded her of how Edward liked to twist pieces of her hair on his fingers. It relaxed her, but she really didn't want Alice or anyone to know, not that she was ashamed of it. She just knew Alice. If the pixie had any idea that something about her makeovers was pleasant to Bella she would have an edge to get Bella to let her give them to her more than she already did. So Bella felt better if she was the only one who knew.

Bella looked at her French nails, holding her hands in front of her. It looked like she had just stepped out of a salon. She was curious of where Alice had learned to give a salon manicure. She used to go with Renee to watch her get her nails done, and the process usually took twenty minutes at least, and Alice was done in less than ten.

"Alice, where did you even learn to do this?"

[Alice Cullen]

Alice laughed at Bella's question, "Bella when you never sleep and you have a lot of time on your hands you learn to do a lot of things."

Alice picked up the curling iron and started to curl Bella's long brown locks. She took each clump of hair and wrapped it carefully around the iron and then the let the curl fall down Bella's back.

"Bella would you like you hair up or down? You could even have it half down and half up if you like." Alice picked up another piece of Bella's hair waiting for the answer.

[Bella Swan]

Bella hoped in response to Alice's remark about learning things with the unlimited time you have when your immortal, that she would be able to do a few cool things when she was turned. Bella thought having Edward teach her French would be a good start.

Alice asked her how she wanted her hair done. Bella really had no idea, she looked over at the dress to see what kind of hairstyle Alice would want with it. Bella still had no idea where Edward was going to take her, or wither it was going to be a dress up occasion. But then again every occasion required dressing up to Alice, so she told her what she wonted.

"Down, Please?"

[Alice Cullen]

Alice smiled at Bella trough the mirror. "Sure no problem."

She finished curling her hair and wrapped a few around her fingers to control the frizz. She reached over and picked up the pretty butterfly clip that Jasper bought her.

"Do you mid if I pull a little back on the side with this clip?" She asked showing Bella the clip."It would look good with the dress, but be careful Jasper got it for me." She slid it in her hair pulling a little of the side of her face. "I can take it out if you don't like it."

[Bella Swan]

Bella was hesitant to let Alice put a clip in her hair, most likely due to the traumatic experiences she had with clips. Like the one time her favorite clip was violently throw from the window of a moving car, never to be seen again. But Bella didn't think Alice would throw anything from the window.

"Okay Alice, just please don't make me look like a Cockatoo." Alice was already putting her hair into the beautiful clip, Bella hadn't seen it before she agreed to let Alice put it on her, "Alice, are you sure? I wouldn't want to break it or something." She said around her lip, which was now between her teeth.

[Alice Cullen]

"Of course I'm sure and it looks beautiful in your hair." Alice said as she looked Bella over and was happy with the outcome. Bella would look beautiful on her date tonight with Edward. He would so owe her later.

Alice walked over to the bed and started to collect all of her things in the bag. Looking around the room she collected all the things that she had somehow managed to throw around the room. When she was finished she looked over to Bella, "I will let you know that I have seen you have a great time and you will enjoy what he has planed."

Walking across the room she pulled Bella into a hug, "You look very beautiful tonight. Thank you for being my barbie." Alice let her go when she heard Edward's Volvo driving down the street.

"I must go now he is almost here. Maybe he will bring you out to the house later. I have to go meet Emmett now because we have plans." Alice said as she gave a final goodbye and excused herself.

Walking down the stairs she opened the door to find Edward getting out of his Volvo. She walked up to Edward to say hi carrying her oversized duffle bag that made her look foolish.

"Hey Edward, She looks lovely tonight and don't worry I didn't say a word about tonight." She stopped in front of him and moved the bag where she could see is face. "Have fun tonight and don't do anything I wouldn't do." Alice said as she walked toward the car throwing her bag in the passenger seat. Getting in she flipped open her phone and called Emmett to tell her she was on her way home. Pulling out of the driveway she gave on last wave to Edward and sped off.

[Edward Cullen]

Edward couldn't help but drum his fingers on the steering wheel as he turned another corner towards Bella house. The closer he got the more it felt like his dead heart was beating. She had always had that effect on him and he was becoming even more anxious to see her.

He had driven very fast from the Cullen house but had decided to slow down so not to get caught by Chief Swan. That wouldn't be a good picture to paint for her father. You were thirty miles over the speed limit, Edward. - Well yes I was just going to pick your daughter up for our date. He was sure his visiting hours would be even more limited if that happened.

So he kept to the speed limit even though the wait was unbearable. How could these humans drive so slowly? It was maddening! But at least he could hear Alice's lilting thoughts coming closer. Plans with Emmett? Edward frowned as he pulled into the drive way and quickly got out, meeting his sister as she came out the house.

Her thoughts gave away nothing as she greeted him with a large smile. "Hey Edward, She looks lovely tonight and don't worry I didn't say a word about tonight," she said. "Have fun tonight and don't do anything I wouldn't do." There was something she wouldn't do, he thought with a chuckle as she got into her car and drove off down the street. That little pixie was up to something and he was going to figure it out soon enough.

Instead of waiting any longer he went inside the house and up to her bedroom. He stopped in the doorway and smiled when he saw her all dressed up by Alice. Silently he sneeked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist before burrying his face in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent. "You look stunning, love," he murmured. "Are you ready to go?"

[Bella Swan]

Bella waited in her room for Edward to get there. She figured that he would either come in through her bedroom window or just come in. While Bella waited she admired Alice's handiwork. She really had made Bella look nice. She barley recognized her reflection in the mirror, but took comfort in the fact that it was not as different as Alice had made her look in past makeovers.

There was no sound to announce his arrival, so Bella jumped slightly when Edward's arms wove around her waist. She felt his face press into the crook of her neck, and she leaned back into his marble body. Her eyes closed and she brought her arms up to his, to hold them together.

"You look stunning, love. Are you ready to go?" he breathed tenderly into her hair. Bella did not want to move from where they were for a thousand years. She was so content in his arms, with all the worry of her change and all the tension that had been on them, it felt wonderful to have a moment where it all just melted away.

Bella turned her head to the side, towards where his face was buried in her neck, in attempt to kiss him, when if failed she sighed.

"I'm ready. So where are we going exactly?" She knew that he could hear the easy smile in her voice. Bella grasped his wrists again, to stop him from trying to move just yet.

[Edward Cullen]

Edward smiled before looking at the two of them in the mirror she had been standing in front of. They seemed so totally different from one another as he looked into his own eyes. The golden hues stared back at him and he felt repulsed again. It was also the position they were in. His lips were so close to the smooth curve of her neck and just seeing this in the mirror made him think of the way humans saw his kind in things like films and books. This truly looked like a horror film as the monster lets his teeth sink into the beautiful girls neck.

He sighed and shook his head, breaking his gaze from the mirror to meet her warm brown eyes. He held her tighter to his body as she leaned into him, her soft hands resting on his cold fingers laced around her waist. What he would give to be warm for her. So he could hold her without her shivering.

He put on a smile for her before leaning in and kissing her neck lightly, her scent assaulting his senses. "I'm ready," she told him. "So where exactly are we going?"

Edward chuckled into her soft skin before looking into her curious, doe eyes. "Now if I told you that," he started with a smirk and playful look in his eyes. "There would be no surprise, would there?"

He could already see her wanting to argue about that. He knew that she hated surprises and presents but she had to trust him on it. "I don't want any arguing," he said before letting go of her and spinning her around to face him. "You'll just have to wait." Taking her hands gently in his he stared into her eyes. "You trust me, don't you?"

[Bella Swan]

Bella was about to remind him that she hated surprises when he spun her around, and spoke again.

"You'll just have to wait. You trust me, don't you?" Edward said, his topaz eyes were scorching. She was so thourally dazzled, all she could do was gape, wide eyed at him. It seemed like her mind had been wiped clean of all thought. It took a few seconds for Bella to compose herself enough to answer him.

"Of course I trust you. I trust you with my life," she paused for a second, "because i love you." She tried to stop herself from smiling, but a small grin came to her face at her last words. She loved to say she loves him. It made her feel whole.

[Edward Cullen]

He swore that his dead heart started beating again when she said those words to him. Not only did she trust him but she had said she loved him. Everytime she told him that he felt as if he was alive again and the blood was running through his veins. It was a rare feeling that only she could make him feel and he cherished every moment of it.

Edward smiled down at her, lifting his hand to brush a piece of hair that had fallen into her face away. He tucked it gently behind her ear before leaning forward and brush his lips against her forehead. Her scent overwhelmed him and the warmth of her skin felt amazing against his cold lips. So fragile, he thought with a sigh as he moved back to see her face.

"You don't know how those simple words make me feel, love," he murmured with a smile. Pressing his forehead against hers he looked straight into her eyes when he said the words he loved to say to her. "I love you, Bella. I always have and I always will."

He quickly touched his lips lightly to hers once more before taking her hand. "Come on," he said with a chuckle. "I don't want to waste anymore time for your surprise." He laughed at her expression and led her out of the room, down the stairs and out to the car. Opening the door for her, he waited until she was seated before closing it and getting into the drivers side, a smile still on his face.
