After planning this night after night, I have finally done it. Call me anything you like. I'm doing this for fun. Still, I write what pops up on my mind as I go on. I only planned of few events, reckless and fun as ever. But I am doing this for my own amusement and lucky if I amuse you too. Ah. This is actually not your typical Pride and Prejudice cross-over like, Edward as Mr. Darcy-no. Hell no. That's not it. Edward will be himself. Bella will be herself. Everyone will be their own character.
I don't Own Twilight, nor Pride and Prejudice.

BPOV
It's been a terribly long day for me, being away with Edward even with the company of Alice. Now, finally, here we were; safe in each other's arms, longing for one another. Truly, nothing could be more perfect than this. This is my heaven in Earth-My happy place. I pressed my body closer to his, closing the gap between us. I swear I could feel the bed vibrating- the effect of his silent laughter.
Then, he began humming my lullaby- a sweet and lovely melody overflowing through the silent room. I began to drift off to unconsciousness, in the arms of Edward.
I was dreaming a peaceful one tonight-I could feel it.
I was in the meadow with Edward, enjoying the peaceful scenery before us. I was reading my book and Edward reading along with me-though I'm sure he'd have it memorized. Once in a while he'd ask me about my opinions of the characters or just about anything. Finally, I was at the last pages of my book when suddenly…
"Bella, love, who'd you choose? Me or Mr. Darcy?" he casually asked, playing with my hair. The question almost made me laugh but I fought the urge to do so- it was rude after all. But the answer was all very obvious; he needn't have to ask at all.
But he'd mistaken my silence for another meaning.
"Just your honest opinion. You don't need to spare my feelings, Bella. But if you really don't want to- it's alright." Though he said this- his honey and velvet voice couldn't hide his curiosity fully.
Now, if I have to choose between a fictional character and my love, my life- Edward, who'd I choose?
I rolled my eyes.
Now, I know if I maintained my silence longer-It would torment him, but lucky for him, I'm not the sadistic type.
"No!" I replied steadily, wanting to push the laughter away. "No! All I need is you, Edward. And to ask such a question…Isn't that already very obvious?" I pretended to be exasperated. Teasing him was another thing.
He didn't answer.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, Are you jealous of a fictional character?" I laughed. I couldn't hold it up much longer. Don't blame me- it was very stupid after all. (A/N: think of your boyfriend getting jealous with Edward, make sense?)
He just shrugged in response.
That's when I turned around, and saw that it wasn't Edward anymore beside me. It was a man I've never seen before. All too quickly, this perfectly set dream had turned into a nightmare. Couldn't I have peace even in my dreams? My own private place? Could not I enjoy and entertain myself?
The man had very handsome features-gentleman like. He was handsome enough- for a normal human but there were something in his eyes that would caught anyone's attention, a certain difference that I can't make out. Was it hostility while being gentle? The certain air around him?
He just stared at me- no plans of speaking. Well, he's taking this calmly. Or was it a new kind of shock reaction? Or maybe, he hasn't grasped the situation yet. I didn't care- I wasn't oblivious as he was. Before he had a chance to speak. before anything happened any longer. I screamed.
I know it's not a totally horrible dream. At least, not the ones when I get killed or some never ending darkness.
"Bella, hush," A familiar voice- honey and velvet hushed me gently. "Bella." Edward called my name.
What kind of nightmare was that? I screamed at the top of my lungs because a handsome guy was beside me?! Wow. I had major problems to fix. I slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was Edward's smoldering eyes.
Now, this is a nice wake-up call.
I pulled myself up- I realized I was in Edward's lap and I wasn't in my bed anymore. It was very hard- like I was lying in the ground. I looked around my surroundings and began to hyperventilate- adrenaline and panic shot through me.
We were some sort of farm house? Wait, maybe I wasn't awake yet, maybe I was still dreaming. I blinked. Twice, thrice-but the image didn't fade.
"Edward, what happened?" I managed to choke out. I was imagining the worst.
"I don't know," Edward's brow furrowed as he admitted this. Like it was shameful. "But I need you to relax first. Breath, love." I began to calm at his command but a hint of panic was at brink. You can't blame me- It's not every day to wake up like this. Though, I had worst. It didn't made sense to panic just because you had to wake up in this situation.
The real reason was thinking 'Has something happened while I was asleep? The Volturi? Here I was safe- while everyone risked their lives to protect me?'
"Ok." I tried to keep my tone steady. "How did we got here?"
He scowled deeply. "We were at some abandoned place. I just went to the nearest shelter I could find." He was thinking of something deeply- I could tell.
"Where are we?" I asked him. What if this is just some kind of prank by Emmett and Jasper? I let myself be relaxed by the thought and then irritation. Then a small piece of relief. No Volturi, at least.
"Well, there's a bit of a problem, love," he ruefully smiled. "You see, I think we're not at Forks anymore. I don't even think we're at the right time zone."
There was a pause. He waited for my reaction.
"Time zone?" I echoed incoherently. It didn't made sense.
"Yes. I think- I hope for once I am wrong- that we're in the early years of 1800's. In the country side."
"1800's. Country side." I mumbled, pushing myself to take in the information. I didn't know if I should scream, or be shocked, or frown. There was too much emotion. I didn't know how to react to that so I didn't.
I tried to look at the bright side- at least; we're not being hunted by vampires.
Yes. That's right!
No James, No Victoria, No treaties, No Volturi. This was an escape from reality. And at least, we we're together, Edward and I and that was the most important part.
I smiled at my own thoughts, and I shifted my look at Edward's curious face.
"I was trying to look at the bright side," I explained, smiling at him. "At least, no James. No Victoria, and no volturi to remember nor to worry about." As soon as the words left my mouth, Edward's expression changed into defensive and he stiffen his position like an involuntary response.
"I'd never let anything bad happen to you."Edward promised me sincerely.
"I know that, Edward." I rolled my eyes. "but this is why it's fair enough to be in this-" I paused momentarily, trying to elaborate what our situation was. "-Whatever situation we are in- We're free. No worries. Well, at least not as many." I uncharacteristically enthused. He began to smile.
"And, that's not the best part, Bella." His grin grew wider. "We're together."
"Yes," I agreed. "That is the best part." I was happy that he got back to his good spirit.
"And I'm sure one way or the other that we'll be back to our home." I added. I didn't want to think about this as if it was permanent. It's only temporary- like a vacation. A very weird vacation at that.
"Yes, you're right." He said, decisively. "Are you hungry?" I paused before answering, debating silently if it was worth it or not.
"Um…" I hesitated. "Are you sure it's safe to go outside?"
He chuckled. "I can go out- it's raining and very dark." He smiled my favorite crooked smile. "We can't stay in this pent house forever, Bella." I hadn't realized that it is raining.
"What?"I snickered. "Is that a challenge?" He grinned at me.
"Then, what if I come with you?" I offered hopefully.
"Nope." Edward disagreed. "I told you, it's raining. I can't risk you getting sick." I opened my mouth to object when suddenly, he kissed me. "Gotta go, love."And left me there, dumbfounded. I swear I heard a chuckle outside.
How unfair was that? Using his dazzling skills to stop my objection! Even though irritation flashed through me- I couldn't get the right kind of anger.
Minutes later, Edward returned with full hands and a triumph smile on his face. He held fruits, bread, cheese, ham and ale. Medieval beer-great! I thought in my head. It is the 1800s, alright.
But these were all forgotten at the moment I saw what Edward was wearing. I literally dropped my jaw. Edward stood wearing a long sleeved white polo and a vest in brown lining. It clung to him so beautifully and even his pants enforced his muscular legs…amazing. I love 1800s!(A/N: Sorry, I'm no good with descriptions)
He looked damn right seductive even if he hadn't meant it to be. I could stare at him all day long. Now, Bella, you're sounding like a school girl! Get a grip! I scold myself. Only he had the right to look so mouth watering. It was unsettling.
He saw me staring at him.
"What? Too much?" he teased, snapping me out of my reverie.
"Where did you got all these?" I asked, incredulous.
"You'd be shocked at how they practically threw these to me." He warmly laughed. "They were all very kind." But, on the contrary, I found nothing humorous about girls, even in this era, flaunting themselves at my man.
"Did the ladies give you these for free?"I tried to sound casual but failed miserably. Who could blame me for getting all possessive around him when he looked absolutely edible? I knew I should've come with him.
"Don't worry, love. They were very sweet old ladies. I even shared with then we're getting married!" He exclaimed cheerfully. Old ladies, huh? "I told them we got robbed and your clothes got wet in the rain and that you had no spare and they even sent you one gown." Well, it will be very weird if I walked around in these clothes. I silently thanked them.
He pulled out a very beautiful garment in front of me. It was a muslin gown with a little blue front ribbon at the chest line. And thankfully enough, it had no back exposure and not too much at the front. It was a white cream gown. And a blue ribbon strapped around below the chest line.
Wow. "Wow" was starting to be my newest frequently-used expression. Now, I even felt bad at thinking of murdering them for a minute.
"I preferred the blue, though." Edward began to criticize. "but it was free, I had to take it."
"Oh my god. Edward! It looks absolutely fantastic." I gasped. "A little bit girly and too much for my taste but this is that type of era and besides, it's perfect."
"Well, I'm glad you like it, Bella."He grinned beautifully at me. "They even sent you a corset and shifts. Isn't that generous of them?" He laughed. I blushed in crimson red. I urged him to come nearer and kissed him with all my might until I couldn't breathe anymore and he was happy to oblige on what I wanted.
"I love you, Bella." He whispered in my ear. My heart thundered in my chest. I'll never get used to his perfection.
"I love you, Edward." I answered back. Then, much to my embarrassment, my stomach grumbled.
Way to ruin the moment, Bella.
Edward coughed, trying to hide his laughter.
Then, I dressed myself up before eating in my new gown. I thought Alice would love this century.
"You really must've unleashed your full dazzling prowess on them, huh, Edward?" I teased as I whirled around in my new dress and eyed my meal. He looked shocked as he saw me and love twinkled in his eyes. I blush once more.
Edward rolled his eyes. "Just eat, Bella."
"so, Edward, how did you know it's the 18th century? I mean, it could've been the 19th century or any other century." I asked between my bites. I was still not satisfied; it totally didn't make any sense that we were transported back in time. Logic was against us.
"The weather for one- it's extremely humid at these years. The fashion of their dress here."He laughed. "So fashion does help every once in a while." Alice would love to hear that.
"Hmmm." Was my only response as I chugged down my food.
"and I even asked those ladies what year it was-causally of course."He added. "I didn't want to sound like a psycho. It's 1813."
"I think even if you did and that they thought you were, I'd bet they'd be even happy to keep you there." I exclaimed.
He made no response.
"Oh god!" I gasped. "They did, didn't they? They asked you to stay! Those little harlots!" and for one second I doubted they deserved my outrage. "Harlots!" I was getting to the century spirit.
"Well, at that time, they thought I was homeless and had no commitment." He tried to amend. "They kindly offered me."
I scowled at him.
"C'mon, Bella. You know they're no match for you." He said, trying to persuade me to calm down.
"You're the most beautiful-" he kissed me in the forehead – "most lovely-" he kissed my eyes- "most tempting-" he kissed my ears, "most mouth-watering-" he kissed my nose, "-most understanding-" he kissed my left hand, "most sweetest-" he kissed my right hand, "being in the entire world. Nothing could compare to you and I don't even deserve you." He sincerely said as he kissed me in the lips. I was getting dizzy- the effect of the kisses.
I tried recollecting my scattered thoughts. What were we talking about again?
"If this is what I get every time I get jealous, expect me to do it more often, but enough of those false flatteries- I don't do that, and you know that Edward."I laughed. "Though, thank you, but you made a mistake at the end- I'm the one who doesn't deserve you."
He was going to object but I kissed him, distracting him. Every once in a while it's good to know I had that same effect on him.
Hold on a second! That's it! Intuition struck me- he did this to distract me. He kissed me passionately.
I'll let this one slide, Edward Cullen.
