Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Twilight or any of the characters.

This takes place after Eclipse. Bella has already told Charlie about Edward and the wedding and everything, but I didn't feel like writing about that in this story. Sorry! I hope you enjoy!

I was at the Cullen’s watching TV with Edward. Alice was out shopping, but the rest of the Cullen’s were out on a hunting trip. Things had gotten to be back to normal for the most part, except for the fact that I would be getting married in about two weeks and then I would be changed into a vampire. Edward said he wanted things to be as normal as possible for me and he never wanted me to stress. He made Alice take care of all of the wedding details and of course she was more than willing. Then, speaking of Alice, the front door flew open and she was in the doorway.

“I bought the coolest thing at the mall!” Alice shrieked. Edward and I turned to look at her.

“What could be so cool that you had to rush home and nearly break down the door?” Edward asked, laughing. She glared at him.

“Well, I mostly got it for Bella,” Alice explained. She opened the bag in her hand and she handed me a little blue case. On the front it said The Sims.

“Once you are changed, you won’t be able to go anywhere for a while. I figured you might need something to do,” she said excitedly. Edward looked puzzled. I think I was just as puzzled as he was.

“What am I supposed to do with it?” I asked. Alice slapped her hand to her forehead, exasperated.

“You don’t get out much do you, Bella?” She asked. That was a really dumb question on my part. I always stay with Edward, we hardly ever go out. Alice rolled her eyes. “Let me explain. It is a computer game. You can create a family and then build them a house. You control everything your Sims do, like keeping their hygiene up and everything. It is like your own virtual life!” I looked back down at the case and I heard Edward sigh.

“Thanks for thinking about Bella, Alice. But, you do know that I will spend all my time with Bella until she gains control. She will still have my company,” Edward said. Alice’s lower lip jutted out in a pout and she gave us puppy dog eyes. I was a sucker for puppy dog eyes.

“Okay, that’s fine. I will go all the way back and return it. At least I will get my thirty dollars back,” she said morosely. Then she sighed and turned to walk back out of the door.

“Alice, wait!” I called after her. She turned around, still slightly pouting. “I will take the game. Thank you.” I looked down and noticed the game was in my hands the whole time. Alice wasn’t going to return it; she knew I would give in. Alice shrugged and gave me a wide smile.

“You can’t beat the game; it just goes on and on. I thought it would keep you busy for a while,” Alice said. I nodded.

“Well, may I try it out now?” I asked trying to be polite. Alice put her finger to her chin and looked thoughtful.

“Yeah, you can use the laptop in my room,” she replied. I looked over at Edward.

“You’re going to come and watch, right?” I asked. He shrugged.

“Whatever you want me to do,” he replied with his crooked smile. I was momentarily dazed and I forgot how to breathe. Edward chuckled.

“Bella? Breathe,” he said. I did as he told me and took a deep breath. Alice rolled her eyes and grabbed my arm. She pulled me up the stairs to her room with Edward silently trailing along behind us. I sat down on her bed and Alice handed me her laptop.

“I warn you; my laptop can be really stupid sometimes. Emmett dropped it once. Rosalie did the best she could on it, but it can still be stupid,” she said rolling her eyes. She put the disc in and it loaded. She went to have a seat on the floor and Edward sat next to her. Once it had loaded, there was an option at the top that said, Create A Family. I clicked on it. I went through all of the faces, planning on creating the Cullens. None of them were good enough! I began to get frustrated and just did my best. I did outfits that fit each of the family members the best. After I was finished, I went to the option that put them in a house. I clicked on a big green lot that had a river running through the back. I wanted to try creating the Cullen mansion. Then, Alice laughed.

“I know what you are doing, Bella. You won’t be able to do all that on your budget. I know a cheat though,” she said. She told me what it was. I did the cheat until I had about 100,000 dollars. Then I got to work on the house.

Three Hours Later:

I was done with the mansion and it was as close as it could get. I couldn’t do three stories for the mansion, so I had to put Edward’s room on the second story. I was relieved that I was finished. But, I wanted to be precise. So I guess it was worth the time.

“Okay, I am finally done,” I said, smiling.

“It is about time, Bella! I would be sleeping if I could!” Alice said, throwing her hands up in the air. Edward shot her a look warning her to be nice. Alice sighed and sat down on the bed beside me. Then she gasped.

“Isabella Swan! Look at what you have me wearing!” She yelled.

“I am sorry, Alice. But this game does not have a very good selection of clothes or faces,” I said trying to calm her down. Edward laughed and sat down on the other side of me. I looked at him to see his reaction. He had one eyebrow raised.

“So, that is what I look like, huh?” He asked casually. I groaned.

“I did that bad!?” I asked. Edward chuckled.

“It is okay, Bella. You did fine,” he said in a soothing voice. I sighed. I looked at the computer screen and the game was on pause. I clicked play so I could start managing the Cullens lives. The Emmett I had created looked just like the real Emmett. He had muscles and was in a white shirt. He had dark hair, too. The alikeness was quite comical.

“Bella, are you getting hungry?” Edward asked me. I nodded. I decided I would just let the game play on its own while I ate. I sat the computer down and got up. Edward swept me up over his shoulder and carried me downstairs. He set me down in one of the white, dining room chairs. Esme had bought us a lot of microwavable foods so it would be easier for her vampire family. Edward just walked over to the refrigerator and got out some microwavable meal. He put it in the microwave and then gave it to me after I was done. He sat down next do me while Alice plopped down on the couch. I got macaroni and cheese and it was really good. Edward laughed while I ate.

“You must really like that; I don’t think you have taken a breath since your first bite. Slow down, Bella,” he said. I smiled and slowed down. I found myself constantly thinking about that game Alice had gotten me. Right now, all I wanted to do was play it. Maybe this could be a new obsession in the making.

A/N: I wrote this story because I got hooked on the Sims, too. I thought it would be funny if Bella got obsessed with it.
