I do not own twilight. (as much as I wish I did) Stephenie Meyer does. I'm just talking to her characters in my head. You understand right? I also do not own Barbie or New York.

"You have got to be kidding me." I looked at Alice with pleading eyes. "Can't I just sit this one out?"

She smiled smugly. "No, silly Bella. You're going to be changed very soon, then all you'll have to wait years until you can go. And Edward not I will get to go either. Please? Besides, I need your help with it." I looked at her perfect pixie-like face. She looked like she was going to cry. I couldn't help it.

"Oh, alright."

"Don't worry, this is mostly for the guys. They love the scavenger hunts. Jasper and Emmett get really into them. They're so much fun!"

I grimaced at the word fun. Alice's idea of fun and mine were truly different. If Alice had her way I would be dressed up like her own personal ,life size Barbie every day to go do some crazy thing that a normal person could never come up with.

"Okay…." I moaned, "can you explain it to me one more time, then?" In truth I hadn't been paying attention well the first time she told me what the plans were. I knew she had some crazy thing planned and I tuned it out as well as I could as a means of self preservation.

Alice's eyes brightened. "Well, have you ever been to New York?"

I thought about complaining again, but I decided it was no use. " uh.. No."

"There's all kinds of stores and crazy places there and every year we try to have a scavenger hunt. We haven't been in a couple of years because …." she trailed off.

I knew what she meant. Because of me coming into their lives and changing everything.

"we've been busy, but I really wanted the guys to get to go before the wedding and everything gets really, really busy. It's so fun. We, being us women, who have to be the impartial moderators, come up with a list of all kinds of crazy stunts they have to do, without being caught mind you, and things they have to get. We give them the stunts and items as the get thing accomplished and whoever gets the most points by the end of the trip wins. We're leaving this weekend and I already have you an out. I've invited you to go shopping with me in Seattle, we'll leave Friday and come back Monday, which gives us plenty of time to fly to New York and cause hysteria."

It was already Wednesday. There is no Charlie will go for this. Thank God.

"uh… Alice. It's so late in the week, Charlie would never agree. Does it have to be this weekend?"

"Yes, it does. The weather for New York is overcast this weekend and it won't be like this again for another month. I think I can handle Charlie." She smirked. "Don't you worry."

Oh. I was worried alright, but not about Charlie saying 'No'.

I hope y'all like it. I'm new at this (fan fiction I mean, not writing, even though it might look that way) Review/comment/whatever it's called for me. I'd like to know if anyone likes it before I put some more up here.
