Ladies and Gentlemen, let the amusing Alice enter!

Bella awoke the next morning with no one next to her. Startled she glanced around, only to see him come back in through the window, his eyes a glistening liquid topaz.

“You hunted.”

Edward smiled. “Caribou… not quuiiite as delicious as a mountain lion, but it’ll suffice. You don’t think I would entertain my guests on an empty stomach, do you?”

Bella smirked. “Well since you ate,” She stretched and yawned. “Well, I guess it’s time for the human to eat…”

He pushed her back onto the bed. “You were tossing and turning all night.”

“I was?”

He nodded and grinned. “May I ask why you repeatedly kept whispering my name?”

Her eyes widened, “I what!?”

He smirked. “It’s times like these where I wish I could look into your mind…”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes.”

She raised a brow. “Alright then Mr. Cullen…” She grabbed his arm and leaned closer to him, attempting to push him out the door. “Go and make the human food…”

A grin flashed across his face and he hoisted her over his shoulder with ease, “You’re going to help me!”

She laughed and screamed as he ran down the stairs with her at a human pace. Running straight into the kitchen, he set her down.

“You’re a lot more playful after you hunt.”

“Because I can control myself better, see?” He leaned over and kissed her.

Her heart skipped a beat.

His laugh rang throughout the kitchen, “I love doing that.” He slid next to her and placed an arm around her waist, leading her to the refrigerator and opening it.

“Geez… Alice was prepared for this, wasn’t she?”

“Unfortunately. So, what would the human like for breakfast, hm?”

Bella grinned and scanned through the fridge and pointed, “Oh, bacon and eggs!”

He swept her up and kissed her, “Bacon and eggs it is then.”

Renee and Phil came down the stairs. Renee sniffed the air. “Mmm, something smells good!”

Bella ran to her mom, “Morning Mom!”

She hugged Bella. “You and Edward are up early…”

“Mom…” Bella whined. “Stop with the insinuations! He woke me up this morning, that’s all!”

Renee raised a brow. “That sentence didn’t help you dear…”

Bella smirked, “You’re probably right…”

Edward eyed her cautiously and whispered, “What are you thinking?”

She smirked again. “Oh, nothing.”

“Do you know what’s on her mind?” He asked Renee.

She shook her head. “Not a clue.” She grinned. “Well, that wouldn’t be entirely incorrect…”

The infamous crooked grin appeared on his face. “Oh, Bella… my love… I wouldn’t try that…”

Bella tried to hide the surprise on her face. “Mom! What are you thinking?!”

Renee snapped out of her trance, “Huh? Oh, I was… uh…”

“It was about me and Edward wasn’t it?”

“Possibly.”

Bella glanced at Edward. “You can’t hide anything from us… so just give up and say it.”

Renee gulped. “Um... well, that comment I made earlier reminded me of a dream I had last night…”

“What dream?”

Edward’s lip was fighting to remain straight. Renee spoke again, “Well… I had a dream that I… uh… saw something I shouldn’t have…”

Bella’s eyes widened. “You didn’t…”

“Sadly, yes.”

Bella glanced at Edward again and said, “Think she’s like Alice?”

He grinned. “Don’t even bet on it.”

Bella laughed. “But I always bet on Alice.” She stuck her tongue out. “I’ll find out, you wait.”

Renee and Phil looked at each other with odd looks. “What does Alice have to do with this?”

“Nothing. Well, not a lot anyway…”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Bella grinned smugly and looked at Edward. “She’s just very, very good at winning bets…”

“I see.”

Edward smirked. “Well, let’s eat.”

The group of four sat around the large table in the kitchen, when Alice walked in.

“Hellloooo!” Her voice chimed from the entranceway, “I’ve got some giiiifts for my favoriiiite brotherrrrr!” She walked into the kitchen and set six bags down.

Edward raised a brow. “Well, someone was certainly enjoying herself…”

Alice pouted. “Fine. Bella can get her gifts first.” She stuck out her tongue.

“You got me presents? For what?”

Alice’s jaw dropped. “I can’t believe you forgot! It’s yours and Edward’s anniversary!”

Bella’s eyes widened, “It’s our two year?!”

Edward grinned. “Yes.”

“Then that’s why…” She smacked her forehead and then Edward.

“So now you figured it out.” He smiled that crooked smile.

Alice waved her hands in the air, “Hello! I’m still here!”

Edward laughed. “Right.” He smiled at Alice. “Why don’t you show Bella what you got her hmm, Alice?”

She huffed. “You know, I reealllly don’t like you sometimes.”

He raised a brow. “Come on Alice, show her.”

Phil and Renee just watched the sibling rivalry unfold.

She stuck out her tongue. “What if I don’t want to give it to her yet?”

“I dunno.”

Alice glared at him, and then went into a blank stare. Edward and Bella looked at each other.

“Uh-oh…” Bella whispered.

She returned to a normal state and grinned, “Edward, Bella, could you come help me bring Jasper, Rosalie, and our parents gifts to their rooms?”

They looked at each other. Edward stood, “Sure. If you’ll excuse me.”

Bella stood, “Me too.”

Edward grabbed three bags while Alice grabbed two, leaving Bella with the one. “Geez Alice, what did you buy?! It’s so heavy!”

As soon as they were out of view and walking up the stairs, Edward took Bella’s bag, leaving her free. They put all of the bags in Alice’s room.

“So Alice, mind letting me know what you saw? Instead of repeating numbers in different languages.”

“You two are going out to dinner tonight.”

Bella looked surprised, “We are? Since when?!”

“As of five minuetes ago.”

Edward smiled. “Oh really? How do we keep her parents occupied?”

Alice giggled. “The rest of us of course!”

Bella sighed. “Joy… another reason to get attacked by Alice’s horrendous designs…”

“My designs are not horrendous!”

"Sadly... yes... yes they are..."

"Are not..." She stuck out her tounge.

Edward interrupted, "So how exactly are all of you going to keep them occupied?"

Alice grinned. "I'm sure Carlisle and Esme will be back by then... and Jasper should be arriving in about five minuetes."

"What about Emmett and Rosalie?"

"Emmett..."

A booming voice yelled 'Hello' at the top of his lungs.

"Does that answer your question?"

"Rose?"

"Is driving back now with Carlisle and Esme."

Bella sighed. "Joy... looks like no way out..."

"Don't worry Bella! Everything's going to be fiiiine!"

She sighed again, "Just get on with it Alice..."

Those were her last words before Edward was shoved out the door by Alice and Bella was taken to Alice's closet...

What will Alice put Bella in for her dinner with Edward? Why are Carlisle and Esme home early? Why is Emmett so weird? (no one knows...) All of these questions (except that last one) will be answered in the next chapter: Saturday Evening!

R&R!
