"You want to look all pretty for your big day right?"
"Yeah but what does that have to do with me getting a manicure today?"
"I just wanted to do something girly with you since I don't get to do that around here."
Alice grabbed Bella's hand to examine it.
"Hmm I think I could do something with these nails. I'm just glad you don't bite them but why are they so short?"
Bella just sat there while Alice chattered away about nailpolish.
