The day before Bella was supposed to arrive, Mackenzie was currently grocery shopping for the upcoming week. Tomorrow they'd have pizza and salad, all homemade so it would be slightly better for her uncle. Mack gently chewed on the inside of her bottom lip, as she looked at the different options for dough.
"I would use a from scratch recipe, it has more control." A motherly voice spoke up.
"You think?" Mack asked as she turned to the woman, giving a smile. "Oh! Good afternoon Mrs. Cullen."
"Hello dear," Esme Cullen greeted giving the teen a calming smile. "Pizza for dinner?"
"My baby cousin is coming back tomorrow, and my stomach cannot handle another night of takeout." Mack said with a light giggle, knowing Bella would murder her with a look if she heard her call her that.
Esme smiled at the red haired teen, as she pulled out a notepad and wrote down a recipe. "Try this one, the kids love when I make it." The mother of the Cullen children felt bad for lying, but technically kids do love, just not her children.
"Thanks Mrs. Cullen! I'm sure my family will love it." Mack said, she couldn't wait to make the pizza tomorrow.
After putting away the groceries, Mackenzie found herself at the rec center on the Rez, she had put out a flier for extra tutoring days. She had just helped Seth and Brady, but still had an hour left before she to close up. While waiting for more kids to show, Mack found herself singing along to Footloose and dancing along to the line dance.
"Um, am I in the right place?" A teenage male voice spoke up from the entrance.
"Oh crap!" Mack shouted putting a hand over her heart as she turned to face the teen. Jared Cameron stood by the entrance, she knew Jared from Kim, Matt's sister who has the biggest crush on the male. "Come on in, unless this isn't for tutoring then, sorry wrong place."
Jared chuckled at the teen, he had overheard about the tutoring from a pretty girl in his class. "Any good at English, and History?" He asked as he made his way over to the desks.
"I dabble." Mack said, as if English wasn't her best subject.
Mack had wanted to text Matt, to bring Kim but knew his older brother syndrome would not let his younger twin around the male. She would have more opportunities to play matchmaker for the two, something inside told her they'd make a great pair. It was the same for Sienna and Matt, no matter how much they protested.

The next morning, Mack pushed Charlie out the door as she was too excited for her cousin's arrival. She spent the morning preparing the dough, and finishing up Bella's room. She knew Bella can be just as awkward as Charlie, but hoped that being in Forks would help open her up.
"Bellie!" Mack shouted as she rushed to the door, engulfing her younger cousin in a hug.
"Hey Mack." Bella said, patting the red haired girl's back.
"I'm so excited you're here, I can't wait to show you around school." Mack said eagerly.
Charlie smiled as Mackenzie practically dragged Bella around the house, explaining how he trusted the sales person for the bedding and not her. He would never live that down. The home finally felt complete with his two girls.
"We're having homemade pizza tonight, so I hope you're hungry." Mack said just before she left Bella's room to go finish the food.
She had remembered that Bella went through a vegetarian face, so she kept meat off her pizza just in case. Just as placed the pizzas in the oven, she heard honking. She knew this was Bella's welcome home gift.
