A/N: This is going to be my side story everyone. I'm stumped for the moment at Bring Me to Life, so This is to help get some ideas flowing. Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: I'll say this only once, I don't own Twilight or these charactors. Just the plot, :).

"Edward!" I giggled as he led me blindfolded through the forest. "Where are you taking me?"
He gripped my hand tighter, pulling me along faster. "My Bella, I won't tell you until we get there, so be patient." I groaned, but shuffled along with his quickening pace. I tripped over a branch, stumbling into his side.
"If I live until then." I grumbled, mostly to myself. He chuckled at me anyway. "Really Edward, I've already taken my clumsiness to the strongest of its ability, but being blindfolded doesn't help!" His body shook beside me in silent laughter, and suddenly the ground had disappeared from under me. I gasped, "Edward, put me down this instant!" I thrashed to get out of his hold, but he tightened his grip.
"Stay still or I'm going to drop you." He hissed. I knew he wasn't serious, but I immediately stopped moving, closed my eyes and tightened my grip on his neck. About five minutes later, he leaned down so his mouth was at my ear. "We're here," he whispered, so low that his voice was just apart of the wind that came whoosing at us. He set me on my feet, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind me. "A few more steps," he paused, guiding me. "and open."
I removed the blindfold and gasped. We were in our meadow, but it looked even more spectacular than normal. The sun, which was usually missing in the rainy town of Forks, was just setting and the sky was red, glowing faintly on everything around it. There was a small table sitting in the middle, surrounded by flower petals. For a moment, I seriously forgot how to breathe. "Oh Edward," I whispered under my breath. A few tears ran down my cheeks, and he reached out to brush them gently away with his soft, pale fingertips.
Kissing me gently on the lips, Edward murmered, "Happy anniversary." Then he held his hand out to mine, looking at me with his bright emerald eyes. "Dance with me?" He asked. I nodded lamely as he swept me into his arms. I was vaguely aware of the music playing, but it sounded so far away because in this moment, all I could see, breath, smell, hear and feel was Edward. We danced for what seemed to be hours, twirling and laughing. I'd never been so happy in all of my 18 years on this Earth. "I have something for you." He announced, breaking our comfortable silence.
"Okay," I smiled broadly. I was too happy to complain about gifts. His answering smile was brilliant as he slipped his hand under his tuxedo jacket. I took the moment to actually look at the work Rosalie had put into me for this date. She had stuck me in a strapless bubble dress. The top was white, and underneath the breast area was a tight black strip. After that, it was navy blue and it ended around three quarters down my thighs, bunching up at the bottom. She paired it with a pair of black flats (bless her) that had white on the back and the front. My hair was pin straight, with my bangs up in a small poof. I looked at Edward, who was stunning in his classic black and white tuxedo. I was admiring him with my thoughts, when I was snapped out of my daze after a small box wrapped up with a red ribbon onto was placed into my hand. I opened it carefully, and inside there was a small velvet box. When I opened the lid, it was empty. "Um, Edward?" I asked slightly hesitant, glancing at his seat. Imagine my surprise when I found it empty. Where did he go?
Then I heard his voice, "Bella." It was coming from beside me so I turned to look at him. I took in his position and let out a low gasp, blinking furiously to make sure it wasn't a hallucionation. Sure enough, he was still there, kneeling on one knee with a ring in his hand. "Isabella Marie Swan." Edward started, "I remember the day you stumbled into my life more clearly than anything. Before then, I was living my life with the light off until you came and flicked the switch. I was suddenly blinded and when my eyes really took in the world for the first time, everywhere I looked, I saw you." He took a deep breathe. "I am 1000% positive that you are my other half. I could ramble on for the rest of eternity but that still wouldn't be enough time to tell you how much I love you. But I'm willing to spend the rest of my life trying to prove it." His eyes locked with mine. "Will you do me the honour of becoming Isabella Marie Cullen?"
I could practiclly feeling the nerves radiating off him, and by that time I was sobbing loudly. I quickly tried to compose myself and gave him a wry smile. "I'm surprised you'd even have to ask." He slipped the ring onto my finger and kissed it. I finally got a good look at it and gasped inwardly, it was magnificent. The band was white gold, and there were four small diamonds imbeded on each side. In the middle, there were two bigger diamonds in a gold netting. But the thing that caught my eye most was the giant circular emerald, sitting smack dab in the middle of the ring. My eyes widened and I stiffled a groan as I realised how much he probably payed for this, for ME. But I let it slide, for now.
"Edward, it's so beautiful." I murmered absently, staring at the emerald that reminded me so much of Edward everyime I looked at it. I couldn't get him out of my head and before I could stop myself, I jumped up and kissed him, tangling my hands in his hair. He looked shocked for about half a second before he closed his eyes and kissed me back, hitching my legs around his waist and lifting me onto the table. His hands made their way up my shirt, roaming around as he massaged every part of bear skin he could find. One of his hands gently cupped my breast and I moaned into his mouth, squeezing my legs tighter around him. I broke the kiss for a much needed breath of air while he did chaste kisses down my neck to my collarbone. Then he shocked me by coming up and kissing my forehead, pulling my face into his chest.
"Not tonight, Bella." He murmered into my hair. I couldn't even bring myself to be upset by his rejection, I was floating on a cloud that moment. I get to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams by my side. "We should get back now." He suggested, wrapping an arm around my waist. I hesitated, not wanting to leave this perfect moment, but I agreed reluctantly.
I grinned up at him. "No blindfolds?" I said, in mock horror. He kissed my jaw swiftly and gently, leaving me dizzy.
"No blindfolds, but we do have to tell everyone." I watched his jaw tighten as he spoke.
Blinking, I tried to understand what was so terrifying about that. I was excited to see everyones reaction. Esme, Carlisle, Charlie, Rosalie, Jasper and. . . Then I groaned, "Emmett." I started muttering angrily to myself. There was no way he was going to take this well, no matter what my best friend and Emmett's long time girlfriend Rosalie, tried to convince him of. But of course, I had no other choice so I sighed in resignation. "Let's just get this over with."
A/N: ENGAGMENT RING AND DRESS ON PROFILE. Sorry about the shortness, but we're just getting started. If you haven't noticed, Alice isn't in the story right now. Well she's Jaspers girlfriend, but no one in the "gang" has met her yet. She'll be in the story very soon. It'll be a little slow the first few chapters, but then there will be a turning point, so keep reading!
