Summary: For Bella and Edwards third year anniversary present, Bella has an idea. But will things go according as planned or will Bella's luck for trouble continue in this situation?

Dancing for Edward

Chapter One:

It had been one year after the incident in Italy. In only two months it would be me and Edward's third year anniversary!

Carlisle had arranged a temporary truce with the Quilleute Elders. The truce was only temporary. It was created so that Edward could finally come to an agreement over what was to happen with my morality.

For our third year anniversary present I decided that I was going to learn how to dance.

Yes that's right. Bella Swan is going to do the unthinkable and dance.

Rosalie and I had finally become really good friends. It started slowly but now me Rosalie and Alice acted as if we were truly sisters.

After one long shopping spree at the local mall, I was sitting in the food court eating a piece of pizza.

"You sure you don't want a piece?" I asked pushing my plate towards them.

Alice just grinned while Rosalie wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"Bella we don't ask you to eat mountain lions and grizzlies with us," Rosalie responded and Alice chuckled in response.

"Only because Edward would have a fit if he knew what you two were doing," I countered.

"Speaking of Edward," Alice said, with a twinkle in her eyes. "Isn't it going to be your third year anniversary soon?"

I blushed and said, "Yes."

"So what are you going to get him?" Rosalie excitedly asked as her mind leapt at the thought of more shopping.

"A new car?" Alice guessed.

My eyes widened and I said, "I wasn't thinking of anything to extravagant."

"Oh," Rosalie said with a crestfallen look on her face.

"I had another idea in mind," I casually said while Rosalie and Alice quietly waited for me to continue. "Remember two years ago at prom? After the James incident I had my leg in a cast."

Alice's eyes darkened at the memory of James but after a split second her eyes were back to normal.

"Since I never got to truly dance with Edward at prom I've decided that for his present I'll arrange a nice romantic dinner somewhere and then I'll ask him to dance! And I know the perfect song," I excitedly exclaimed.

"That's an excellent idea, Bella!" Alice said. "Do you know where you're going to learn the dance?" she asked.

"I haven't figured that part out yet," I said with a frown and we all lapsed into silence.

Suddenly, Rosalie cried out, "I know! Emmett can teach you!"

Alice and I simply stared at Rosalie in shock. Emmett wasn't known for his gracefulness.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that. After all of our marriages together I made him learn to dance. And not just any dance. Emmett had to learn the dances that were in style."

"I remember seeing him do the foxtrot a few years ago," Alice said with a grin on her face.

"Do you think Emmett will mind teaching me?" I asked speculatively.

"Nah, he loves you too much. I swear that man acts like you are some little sister that he is bound to protect." Rosalie said while Alice nodded energetically.

"Great! But I don't know when I'm going to ask him. Edward never gives me a second alone. Especially when I'm at your house."

"Don't worry about it, I'll tell Emmett the plan," Rosalie explained.

"You guys are the best," I said as they grinned at each other. "But do you think we can keep this a secret from Edward?"

"Of course," Alice said.

"Yeah. Edward has learned not to look inside my head. Especially since last February he saw what me and Emmett did that whole Valentine's Day weekend."

"Ewww!" you and Alice exclaimed together.

"So that's why he was acting so weird," I said, recalling Edward's odd behavior last February. At the mention of Emmett's name he would shudder unexpectedly.

"Okay so we'll all block our minds and when you have to practice with Emmett just give Edward a fake excuse," Alice said.

"Perfect," I replied.

"So can we go home now?" Rosalie said, gesturing to my now empty plate.

"Yeah. Let's go."

When I arrived at the Cullen's home I was so excited about the plan we had contrived. Rosalie had barely turned off the car when Edward suddenly appeared at the car, gallantly opening the door.

He must have heard us approaching, or smelled me… I thought.

"Hey Bella," he said as he kissed me soundly on the lips.

Behind his back, Alice rolled her eyes and brought out the shopping bags.

"What did you buy?" Edward politely asked.

"Oh just some clothes and books," I answered.

Once we got inside the house Rosalie quickly ran upstairs and shut her bedroom door. Alice slyly went upstairs as well, searching for Jasper. But before she disappeared from your eyesight you saw her wink smoothly at you.

The grandfather clock located in the Cullens hallway began to ring so I clanked at my cellphone.

"Shit! It's ten o'clock. Edward you need to take me home."

Edward pouted in response and began to gaze lovingly into my eyes. He was obviously trying to charm me into staying a little longer.

Instead of falling for it I laughed and punched him lightly on the arm. "DO you want Charlie to be on my case again?"

"Of course not Bella," Edward said, "I just miss you."

I rolled my eyes playfully and said, "Edward you're with me every night when I go to sleep. Isn't that enough?"

"Never," he replied.

"I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and said, "Let me just say goodbye to Rose and Alice. Stay here."

He frowned slightly but remained rooted in his spot.

I ran lightly up the stairs and knocked on Rosalie's door before I turned the doorknob.

"Hey guys. I just wanted to say goodnight."

"Bella! Rosalie was just telling me about-" Emmett began, but was cut off as Rosalie quickly placed her hand in front of his mouth.

"Shh! It's supposed to be a surprise," she scathingly whispered.

"So he said yes?" I asked as I glanced over at Emmett's twinkling eyes.

"Of course he said yes," Rosalie replied.

I ran over to the two of them and wrapped my arms around them in a giant bear hug.

They hugged me back, lightly of course, and grinned at me.

"Well, I'm going to go say goodbye to Alice now. Thanks for your help!"

I skipped happily out of their room and walked over to Alice's dark room. Her bedroom door was ajar and I quietly looked around.

Suddenly Jasper jumped out of a dark corner of the room and shouted, "BOO!"

I let out a scream of fright and jumped backwards. Within seconds Edward was at my side, wrapping his arms around me and throwing me behind him, to protect me from danger. Meanwhile, Jasper and Alice emerged from the shadows, shoulders shaking with laughter.

I knew that Edward would be angry so I placed my hand in his large hand and said, "I'm fine Edward. They were just trying to scare me that's all."

"No it wasn't that," Jasper said, "We just knew that it would piss off Edward," he said with a grin on his face.

A low growl came out of Edward's throat and I squeezed my hand tightly in response.

"Erm. Well… I just wanted to say goodnight to you guys. By the way where is Carlisle and Esme?"

"They're out hunting," Alice said.

"Oh okay. Thanks for today Alice. It was a lot of fun!" I said as I went over to them, and gave them both a hug.

"Come on Edward," I said as I tried to push his large frame back downstairs. He stood for a few more seconds glaring at Jasper and Alice while they calmly withstood his withering glares.

He released his death glare from them and grasped my hand again. "Can you believe those two? Scaring me to death like that," he said as he walked downstairs and led me to his silver Volvo.

An hour later things were back to normal. I was lying in my bed with Edward at my side has he softly hummed my lullaby.

I felt his cool hand touching my cheek as I drifted to sleep.
