The Cullens have been going to school as seniors, all of them but Novalee. Emma is in her first year of middle school, she just turned eleven the week before this one. Now, Rosalie and Alice are bringing Novalee dress shopping. Emma is hanging out with Esme today.
Rosalie and Nova eat a granola bar a piece before going out to Rosalie's red car. The girls all like inside, they're having a sister day. This is not something they have often. Two more months, and they're graduating. One more month, Novalee Morningstar will be Novalee Call.
Rosalie drives the normal speed limit, being human and not wanting to die. Again. She pulls up to a bridal store and Alice pulls the humans inside. Esme is set on making the wedding cake herself.
"What are we looking for?" The nice lady asks as she walks up to the girls.
"My wedding gown, amd my bride's maid dresses, and the maid of honors dress," Novalee says.
"Right this way," the woman says as sweet as cotton candy and leads them in the direction of the bridal gowns. "Look through these racks. What is your color theme for the bride's maids and maid of honor?"
"Turquoise," Novalee replies, this makes Alice smile.
The woman smiles warmly and she walks away. Novalee and Rosalie look through the dresses.
"You're one my bride's maids," Novalee says to Rosalie. "You, Alice, and.., Emily. Esme can be my maid of honor."
"Then I can pick the dresses," Esme says as she enters the shoppe. "I caught up. Emma's with Emmett."
The woman brings a rack of turquoise dresses. Esme gets to work finding her dress, and the dresses for the bridesmaids while Novalee texts Emily, asking her to be one. As soon as Nova looks up, she sees the perfect dress.

"That's the one," Novalee says. "That's my dress."
"Let me help you try it on," Esme insists and drags her inside the dressing room. "This is a beautiful dress."
Novalee smiles as Esme helps her slip into it. Novalee ateos out, Rosalie tears up as Alice's golden eyes brighten. Novalee steps in front of the standing mirror and she gasps at how gorgeous she looks. Her eyes are hazel now, not vampire gold. Her heart is beating steadily.
"Embry is going to die," Alice chirps.
Novalee smiles as she looks at herself, twisting and taking intje whole view. Nova must admit, she looks pretty damn good. The human girl smirks as Rosalie becomes a sobbing mess. Rosalie is enjoying crying, weird, but she is, she hasn't cried since 1933. So, she will most likely be an emotional wreck for a while. Jasper knows this'll be fun.
"Let's get you dressed," Esme coos. "You look astounding."
Esme amd Novalee enter the dressing room again. That's when Alice walks over to a human Rosalie and she soothes the crying mess of a blonde human, Rosalie Cullen.

Novalee stuffs her face with some pizza at the food court at the mall, Rosalie is eating some Kung pow chicken and some of their noodles. Esme amd Alice are shopping, getting Nova and Emma both whole new wardrobes.
"God, I've missed food!" Rosalie moans as she swallows a piece of chicken.
Novalee laughs. "Me too."
"Where were you born again?" Rosalie asks. "I forgot."
"Athens, Greece," Novalee replies. "I moved to Italy when I was fifteen."
Rosalie nods and she stuffs her mouth with noodles amd her phone rings. Rosalie rolls her eyes as she slides it to Novalee. It's Emmett.
"Emmett," Novalee says as she presses the green icon. "Rosalie has her mouth full with Chinese noodles."

Emmett laughs, a booming type noise. "Hah, of course she does. How'd the dress shopping going, sis?"
"Great, I found my perfect dress," Novalee replies. "Esme found her dress, and the bridesmaids dresses, now... how's my girl?"
"Emma's good," Emmett replies. "She's bugging Edward now."
"How?" Novalee asks.
"She keeps thinking different things, confusing him," Emmett replies, laughing. "Oh, this kid. Well, I better go. I'm meeting Paul Lahote and your fiancée in the clearing where your house'll be. We're starting the build."
"Keep Embry in one piece, please, Emmett," Novalee pleads. "And play nice with Paul. He hates vampires enough."
"He's cool!" Paul shouts through the speaker, before he grabs the phone. "Human ears. I hate having to yell, Nova."
"Sorry, Paul," Nova says as she and Rosalie go to find Esme and Alice. "I'll let you guys get busy. My love to Embry." Novalee hands up and hands the phone back to Rosalie. "They're working on the house now for me and Embry, and Emma."
"And your future babies," Rosalie says. "Emmett and I are going to a sperm bank the evening of your wedding. After you leave for your honeymoon in Hawaii."
Embry chose Honolulu as their honeymoon destination. Rebecca is letting them stay in a room at her house. She and her husband divorced, and Rebecca now lives alone. They're gonna hula dance, and swim, and more fun things. And make babies, that's number one on Embry's list. Rebecca said she'd stay clear of the house on the first night. She's thrilled to be meeting Novalee finally. Rebecca is sad about missing the wedding, but she knows the newly weds will be staying with her.

Emma lays beside her mom who's passed out in her bed. The eleven year old smiles and she faces the opposite way. She ends up falling asleep beside her mother.
