I own nothing of Twilight *sniff sniff* thanks for reminding me

RPOV

"Are you sure you two will make it there okay? You promise to call at every pit stop and the moment you get there?" I watched warily as Bella tossed her last duffel into the trunk of the cab and Emmett slammed the door shut. I didn't miss the eye roll the two exchanged. I raised a finger in warning, but was quickly cut off by Bella.

"We'll be fine, mom," She reassured me for perhaps the millionth time. She approached me and gently lowered my hand back to my side. "You worry too much. We're just going to Washington for a little over a month. Charlie will be an hour away! I think Emmett and I will survive." I narrowed my eyes skeptically.

"I wish you'd let him pick you up at the airport and take you there," I complained in a pleading tone. I loved my children, and I knew they'd look after each other. That, actually, was what triggered my concern. Emmett has always been Bella's overprotective brother, always snapping back at anyone who crossed her, beating on anyone who threatened her well-being, or anyone who got too close with more than friendly intentions. Bella, who I knew to be slightly annoyed by Emmett's paranoia, though she'd never admit it, had a tendency to land herself in the nearest pit of despair wherever she sent. So sure, Bella would be protected by the burly Emmett, but who would stand up for them both once they've gotten themselves in too deep? . . .

"That's it," I decided, raising my finger again. "You two" – I gestured from one to the other– "are most definitely allowing Phil and I to drive you and Charlie's picking you up. No buts!" I added when both started in protest. Bella scowled and folded her arms across her chest. She directed her eyes to her feet, unable to start the fight herself.

Emmett, on the other hand, had no difficulty whatsoever. "Oh come on, Renee!" He whined. "I'm twenty freaking two for crying out loud and we've been living in separate apartments down here. We spend a week with you and suddenly you're all possessive again?"

My eyes turned pleading. "But Em, I've never had you or Bella so far away before." I reminded him sadly. "I don't think you should go to this program– you both have decent jobs and prefect living accommodations."

Emmett rolled his eyes again followed by an exasperated groan. "Mom, you're only saying all this because you want to make sure we're anchored to Phoenix forever. Maybe Bella and I have our own dreams. Maybe if you keep us here we'll end up going berserk and fleeing like what you did to Charlie." My face fell and my lips formed a hard line.

Bella's head shot up and she glared incredulously at her brother. "Emmett!" She hissed. Emmett shrugged shamelessly, oblivious to how he could have offended me with the harsh accusation.

"Well you'd best get going." I said in a flat voice. "Cab fee's probably already running. Have fun." I waved a halfhearted goodbye and turned on my heel back towards the house. I could hear Bella's not so hushed scoldings as they piled into the idling cab. I waited with my back turned at the door until I heard the car pull away from the curb. When I was positive they were no longer watching me, I turned to see them go.

A hand patted my shoulder gently, then rested there. I placed mine on top of it, still watching where the cab had disappeared as if, by some miracle, Emmett and Bella would decide against going to Washington to try and weasel their way into the college program they were offering.

"It's only a month, Renee." Phil reminded me, wrapping his arms around my waist. Had I not been so distracted, the edge in his voice would have made me suspicious. "They'll be back before you can miss them."

I twisted in his arms and wove my arms around his neck, looking up to his eyes. "Too late for that," I sighed, laying my head on his chest. "This is why I was glad that they never went to college right after high school. I don't get it! They were doing just fine, why would they suddenly want to go to college." Phil twirled a piece of my hair in his fingers.

"I don't know, baby," Again, the edge was there. I brushed it away. "It's not every day that you get offered a prep and grant."

I shrugged. "I've never even heard of such a place before." I mumbled. He didn't respond. I exhaled raggedly and pulled away. "Will you make me some popcorn, hun? I'm going to watch some tv and calm my nerves until they call. . ." I heard him mumble yes as I shuffled off towards the tv in the living room. I slouched onto the couch and lazily surfed the channels, unable to find anything good enough to serve as a distraction.

"Here you go," Phil crooned, dropping the bowl into my lap before pulling me onto his lap. I felt his lips press against the side of my face and I was instantly distracted. Had the tv not suddenly screamed, I might not have paid it anymore attention.

"It's finally here! The awaited new television series, Camp Twilight is coming to MKO!" Phil tensed from beneath me as my head shot to the tv. I'd heard nothing of this new show, yet MKO was one of my favorite tv stations. I flickered my hair behind my ear and tilted my head so I could hear the words the man on the tv had to say.

"Thirty contestants, two million dollars, one camp. Who's gonna be the winner?!" The brown haired man's face was replaced with images of random people as the names slipped by. I strained my ears to catch them all, suddenly curious. "Rossie Ferria, Dani Slay, Edward Masen, Alice Brandon, Jessica Stanley," The next few names flew by in a haze and I focused on looking for anyone I might recognize, or find amusing. "Rosalie Cullen, Jasper Hale, Emmett and Isabella Swan. . ."

I shot up from where I sat and rushed over to the screen, my hands running over the picture of Bella and Emmett on the screen. I gritted my teeth and turned to face the guiltily traitor. "Phil!" I growled. "What the hell is this!" I pointed at the screen, but the picture had already been replaced by some other kid.

Phil cringed and raised his hands in surrender. "It was my manager's idea!" He quickly accused another before I could strangle him. I was positive that's what it looked like I was about to do.

"It was your manager's idea to take my children to some camp and trick them into believing something else?!" I screamed, throwing up my hands furiously. "They think they're getting a life out of this! They think this is going to get them into college!" I wagged a finger in front of his face, incapable of forming any more words as my vision turned red.

Phil straightened up on the couch, hands still raised in defense. "Honey, calm down!" He begged, pressing his back into the couch. "They might just get a future out of this. Think about it– two million dollars is a lot of cash. And they get smaller prizes as well. You know, if they get voted off early." I huffed angrily and shook my head.

Inhaling jaggedly, I asked. "There's no chance that I'm going to get a phone call from them any time soon, huh?" I dropped lifelessly onto the couch next to him.

He draped an arm cautiously around my shoulders and kissed the top of my head. "Don't fret, baby," He whispered knowingly. "You'll see them every week. Besides, you had to let them go sooner or later."

I sniffed in disapproval. "I was prepared for later."

He squeezed my shoulder encouragingly. "I know," He murmured softly, dropping his head on top of mine. "But just think, there were a lot of pretty, um, immature, so to say, boys on that show. Emmett ought to make this interesting."

I couldn't help but chuckle. "Poor Bella. . ."

He snorted. "Poor boys." I laughed freely and leaned into his side.

He was right, this was bound to be a very interesting series . . .
