A/N (Author's note): For those of you that followed this story, and saw an update, there is none. This is the revised and edited version, with a few different words, and few added lines, ect.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, or any of the songs I decide to use during this whole production. Suing is SO not appreciated.

I dragged Edward through the front door of Jessica's house, still not believing that I had talked him into actually coming with me to a human party. Jessica immediately appeared at my elbow, squealing with delight that I had come. Edward stood quietly by my side, his large hand wrapped around my smaller one, while Jessica babbled on about the people she was expecting to come tonight.

Edward's cell phone vibrated in his pocket, then started playing some song I'd never heard before, and it was at his ear before the second ring. "Hello?" he answered cautiously, glancing at his caller ID.

"YOU DIDN'T INVITE US TO A PARTY!!!!!!!" It was amazing how Rosalie's usually soft voice could be heard by everyone within a two feet radius. Edward flinched, holding the phone away from his ear.

"I didn't think you would want to come to a party like this." He hinted, speaking quickly into the phone before moving it back away from his ear.

"IT'S A PARTY YOU IDIOT! PARTIES ARE PARTIES! AND WE HAVN'T BEEN TO A PARTY IN YEARS!" She was still shouting but it seamed to be quieting down slightly. "Are we invited?" she asked, where only Edward and I would probably hear her.

Edward glanced at me, then at Jessica. "My family can come too, right?" he asked Jessica unwillingly. She blinked rapidly, not used to hearing Edward's beautiful voice directed at her. "Um…Sure." She mumbled, turning a light shade of pink, before stumbling away to greet some new people who had just come through the door.

This was Jessica's end of the year party, to which literally the entire school had been invited. "Come on over," Edward sighed, mumbling directions to the house. He snapped his phone shut on Rosalie's false-sounding 'thank you', rolling his glorious eyes. "Half of them don't even go to this school anymore! Why on Earth would they want to come? They saw the invitations that we got!" His eyebrows shot up as soon as he finished his sentence and he spun around to look at Jessica, who was climbing on top of a chair in the middle of the room. "Oh." He murmured. "That's why."

"Everyone! Everyone! Time to start Karaoke!!!" Jessica's enthusiastic voice made the bottom of my stomach drop out. She had defiantly forgotten to mention that there would be singing.

Edward's face split into a huge grin, and he looked at me with his sparkling eyes. "We're both doing it, right?" he asked me, batting his eyelashes in an obvious attempt to get me to participate.

"Absolutely not. I am not singing in front of anyone." I turned on my heel so that my back was to him, knowing that it would be harder for him to dazzle me if I wasn't looking at him.

He appeared in front of me and grabbed me softly by my arms so I couldn't turn away.

"Please, Bella." He looked directly into my eyes, exhaling purposefully into my face. My vision swirled for a moment, and when I could see strait again I muttered, "Fine," before I could stop myself. As I mentally berated myself, he smirked, obviously pleased with himself.

"Everyone who wants to participate in the karaoke, put your name in this hat!" Jessica was holding an old-looking cowboy hat, and slowly walking around the room, holding it out to people. I saw a few people put their names in, but most just laughed at it, claiming that they were too grown up to do karaoke. Edward somehow got two little slips of paper and wrote his name on one. He handed me the other one, along with the pen, and turned away to slip his name in. I dropped the piece of paper into the hat without writing anything on it, hoping that Edward wouldn't notice. As Jessica walked away from us, Edward leaned over my shoulder.

"I actually had three slips of paper. I wrote your name on one for you, since you didn't." I blushed to my hairline, and looked at my shoes. He chuckled giving me a quick kiss on the side of my head.

"We're HE-RE!" I instantly recognized Alice's chipper voice and turned to see her bouncing towards us, looking extremely cheerful. She passed Jessica on her way and slipped several pieces of paper out of her pocket and dropped them in the hat.

"I had a vision that there would be karaoke! This is going to be so much fun!" The rest of the family came through the front door, looking around for us. Rosalie looked almost as excited as Alice, and Emmett was watching Rosalie with his arm wrapped around her waist. Jasper was making his way towards Alice, dodging several humans on the way.

I saw Mike sitting a few feet away from Jasper, in one of the chairs, stand up and slip his name into the hat. I rolled my eyes, not believing that I actually wanted to come to this party. Jessica had begged me into it, saying that we hadn't seen each other outside of school in forever, so I'd agreed simply to get her off my back, and then miraculously talked Edward into coming with me. No one had said anything about singing.

I was surprisingly quite nervous; I knew that everyone's voice in this room, myself included, was going to pale in comparison to the voice of the Cullens. Especially Edward. I was going to look like an idiot!

"Time to draw the first name!" Jessica announced, back on her chair in the middle of the room. I noticed Alice smirking at Edward out of the corner of my eye, and hoped that maybe that meant he was going first. No such luck.

"It's…"Jessica paused dramatically, drawing it out as long as possible. "Bella!" I could feel my face paling more than it already was, and I shot Edward a panicked look. He had a satisfied smile in place, grinning at me. "You knew!" I hissed at him narrowing my eyes.

"Maybe. Go sing." He smoldered his eyes at me, and I sent him another scalding glare before forcing myself to go over to the clunky black machine, and the large cd case atop it. I mentally kicked myself for always giving in to whatever Edward wanted me to do. Hopefully someday I'd be able to dazzle him the way he dazzles me.

I flipped through the large black CD album, reading song titles as I went along. I noticed several that I loved, but not enough to sing in front of the majority of the school. When I was on the very last album, on the very last track, I saw the perfect song. I'd heard this song once before and it had instantly reminded me of Edward and I, so I took it out of it's sleeve and slipped it into the stereo system, sending a shy smile at Edward before taking my place at the front of the room, on a little area marked with tape as the stage. I looked directly at Edward before starting, telling him with my eyes that this song was for him. For us. Even though I wasn't thrilled with him at the moment, I'd forgive him for a few minutes until the song was over.

I took a deep breath and listened to the music that started the song, opening my mouth to start singing.

Tune in to hear which song Bella picked! (It's PERFECT so I'd come back if I were you)

Reviews are greatly appreciated. I mean GREATLY.
