Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Twilight characters : but I do own the plot (as far as I'm aware of).
Alright you guys, this is my first fanfic in a really long time. This is the Twilight version of my first story, which I abandoned (sorry guys). Anyway, I hope you like it and here's a little something that would clear things up for you.
Alice and Bella are best friends.
Jasper and Alice are together.
Jasper and Rosalie are siblings.
Edward and Emmett are brothers.
All human.
Enjoy.
Into the emerald green and immaculate white
Was it eight' o'clock already? The insane beeping coming from my bedside table was wracking at my brain. I shut my eyes, trying to make it go away. Completely exasperated, I grunted as I reached over and smashed my fist down on the 'off' button hard. Maybe I don't go to work today? Sounds like a plan…
My thoughts were immediately interrupted as my door flung off its hinges. I shot up to see if Freddy Krueger decided pay me a visit. I narrowed my eyes as I tried to make out who the blurry figure was. My face drooped when I realized that it was only my energy-crazed roommate. It was times like this when I wondered why the hell I decided to room with her.
It was clear to me that she had come directly from bed. She stood, clutching the door frame, in her crumpled pink jammies and her short, spiky hair pouffed like a bad afro.
"Bella. You. Are. Going. To. Love me!" She squealed a pitch too high for the early hours of the day.
"I'm not really feeling the love right now."
She just grinned widely, completely unfazed by my early morning sarcasm. She ran and dove into the pile of blankets at the end of my bed.
"Ah Bella my dear, you will not be going to work today. In fact, you will not be going to work for the next month! I'm sure they'll be able to find another secretary, there are plenty just lying around the streets!"
She began to ramble and I had no idea what she was on about. "Wha- huh? Why??"
"Why are there secretaries all over the place..? Oh right. Yeah, back on track. Okay, so you won't be going to work for a month because we will be going on a little vacation. I mean, come on! You can't be working the whole of the holidays. You hate that place. Well you hate your job, not your office… I know you think that by working for them you'll be able to make it as-"
"Alice!"
"Alright, alright. Anyways, you've been working way too hard and you need a break. So you see when Jazz invited us to go skiing with him and his sister, he asked me yesterday, I thought that it would be a perfect way for you to get out and see the world beyond the four walls of your bedroom!"
I was slightly dazed by the sudden rush of information. I blinked a couple of times and eventually, my brain caught up.
"Well, I like the confines of my room thank you very much." I stated, feeling that I needed to defend myself a little bit.
She rolled her eyes while simultaneously rolling her body off my bed.
"Come have breakfast and I'll fill you in on the details."
She left me in my room as I thought of what it was we were even talking about. I gave up after a while and dragged my body towards the bathroom. I cleaned up a little and patted my hair down. I was in my own home, who cares?
The aroma of mouth-watering quesadillas filled my head as I walked into the kitchen.
"Mmmmmm, that for me?" I went over and grabbed a juice carton from the fridge and a couple of glasses. I sat at the counter and filled the two glasses. Alice brought over two plates of generously filled, freshly made quesadillas. This was heaven enough for me.
"So about the trip, I know its very short notice but we leave tomorrow."
I snapped out of quesadilla paradise. I stared at her incredulously. "Say what now?"
She sighed, "I knew you would react like this. Come on Bella, live a little. Live life in the present. Stop planning your next move."
I grumbled as I turned my attention back to the, slightly ruined by the atmosphere, deliciousness that was in front of me. I knew by now that I was going on whatever trip this was. There was no point in arguing or fighting back. She won every time.
Curiosity began to twitch inside me. "So, what's this little adventure we're going on?"
Her face lit up as soon as she realized she had won me over, although quite easily this time.
"Oh Bella, we are going to have so much fun!" She began digging into her breakfast. "So Jazz invited us to go skiing with him and his sister, you know Rosalie? I think you've met her before, she's really nice."
I did remember Rosalie, she was hard to forget. She made the world's top models look like ordinary people in comparison to her beauty. It took us a while before we became comfortable enough to talk conversationally. She never looked very friendly, that might have been the intimidation, but I came to know her as a pretty great person.
"Anyway, guess where we'll be going? Switzerland!! Can you believe it?! How awesome is that!"
Ooo. My jaw fell open and my eyes were bulging out their sockets. "No way! Oh my God! I've never been to Europe before, this'll be beyond awesome!"
After my excitement subsided, something dawned on me.
"Oh Alice, I just realized. I can't ski."
"Haha, well I'm no good either. We'll take a beginner's class. Plus, there's loads of other stuff to do there!"
The excitement flushed back through me. We both screamed as we jumped around the kitchen. There was so much to do if we were going to leave tomorrow.
Alice chirped between breaths, "Jasper and-"she land on the couch, "Rosalie are already there." She gasped, "We're going to meet them at their chalet. He gave me the directions and everything else."
"Oh! I have to phone work. What do I tell them?"
She suppressed a smirk. "It's already taken care of." Confused, I asked her what was her excuse.
"You decided that your true passion in life was to be in showbiz. I told them that you went to New York to go find yourself and make your way into Broadway. Eventually, you plan on reaching stardom."
She couldn't contain herself any longer as she burst into laughter. Her legs waved crazily in the air as she clutched her stomach in hysterics.
My cheeks began to heat up as I glared at the scene before me. After a while, the corners of my lips twitched. I couldn't help but find it quite hilarious. I could just imagine the look of my boss when he heard that.
I grinned as I left to the kitchen and began clearing up. Alice regained control and it seemed like a light bulb flicked on in her head. She ran and grabbed the corners of the counter. I was a little bit frightened because she was grinning from ear to ear.
"Bella" she began in a mischievous tone, "we need to go shopping!"
