So it's Halloween and everyone in town is decorating and getting all excited for candy and costumes.

I was never one for parties, especially ones that consisted of getting dressed in costumes. Unfortunately my perception and likings to parties had to be put on hold this morning. The Cullens are going to Alaska for the weekend to visit their cousins. I was going to miss them but to my surprise they asked me to join them. They said that they are all "vegetarians" so we didn't have to worry about any mishaps. I agreed to go since I'd be able to meet some of their family and be with Edward.

Then Alice had to spring something on me. Edward had a look on his face as if he was preparing for something. He rolled his eyes as Alice was coming over to me. I looked at him confused. Next thing I know Alice is right in front of me.

"Bella?" she asked in excitement. What was she so excited about?

"Yes?"

"About this weekend…" She made a face that looked like she was going to ask or say something that I wasn't going to like.

"What about it? Did they ask if I wouldn't mind staying home? Because I'm human? I mean if so, I guess that is okay. I…." I was rambling really fast and trailing off.

"Bella… Bella… stop. No, that's not it."

"Oh, okay, what is it then?"

"Well…" she looked over to Edward with a smile on her face. "…. Our cousins decided that they are going to have a Halloween party Saturday night since it's Halloween that day."

"Oh." I know where she is going with this.

Edward cut in. "Alice, she doesn't have to get dressed up in anything if she doesn't want to."

Alice pouted.

"No, it's okay Edward. I don't want your family to remember me as the anti-social, too-good-for-costumes cousin." I sighed. "I'll dress up. For Alice. For you. For your family."

Edward turned to me with his hands around my waist. "They will not think that about you."

I looked up into his eyes, "I don't want to take any chances." I paused. "I want to be a part of this family and if that means going to some parties once in a while then it's worth the sacrifice."

He smiled at me and kissed my forehead. We both turned back to Alice.

"It's settled then. We're leaving right after school on Friday to fly to Alaska."

"Okay. Can I at least go home first and pack clothes from school?"

"Nope." She said while shaking her head. "I'm going to have clothes packed."

"But –"

"Bella, you're not going with your flannel shirts and ripped jeans."

"Alice, she can wear anything she wants. They're not going to judge her because of what she is wearing," Edward said in my defense.

"Edward, I won't pick out anything too drastic. I'll let her wear flat shoes okay? But the clothes are up to me. Maybe a skirt or dress."

I quickly replied, "No Alice. Please. No skirts or dresses. I will just look out of place and bland next to your cousins."

Edward looked at me. I knew he was going to say something. "Bella, you wear anything you want but let me tell you this, you are anything but bland." He kissed the top of my head and I smiled at him. I wasn't going to fight with him, he'll just get aggravated with me. He's too cute.

"Okay it's settled. I will pick out your clothes and everything will be packed when we head to the airport from school. That reminds me, you will have to change at school before we leave for the airport."

There is no point in arguing. "Okay, I guess. I just hope that Charlie will be okay with this."

She cut in. "Don't worry. Esme called him and you're in the clear."

"Oh wow. I'll have to thank her the next time I see her." Alice smiled and skipped away.

Edward and I made our way up to his bedroom.

"Edward?"

"Yes love?" he replied while we laid on his bed and he played with my hair.

"Do you really think your family will like me?"

He looked at me. "Of course they'll like you. They know you make me extraordinarily happy and so in turn they're happy."

He then started to kiss my neck. I giggled.

"I love when you do that."

"Well, I love when you do that."

"That reminds me, what are we going to be for Halloween? I never thought I'd ever ask that question again."

He laughed. "Well, I think Alice wants to take care of that."

"Of course she does. Do you at least know any hints of what it will be, so that we're prepared?"

"I have no idea. I've been trying to get into her thoughts but she won't let me in."

"I hope it's not something too crazy."

"Yeah. Me too."

It was now Friday morning. I was nervous about meeting their family. And I was also worried about my Halloween outfit.

I had to change in the bathroom before we left. Alice packed me tight dark jeans with black ballerina-looking shoes, and a v-neck navy blue long-sleeved t-shirt. I personally think the shirt shows a little too much cleavage. But then again I really don't have much of that so maybe it's a good thing. I'm not sure. Sometimes I don't know what Alice's motives are when she picks out clothes for me to wear. My hair looked nice for the type of weather it was, which made me happy. Mike caught up to me as I came out of the bathroom.

"Hey Bella. Wow, you look really nice. Did you get new clothes?"

"Yeah, Alice got them for me."

"Well, I think you look really great in them." I saw him look me up and down.

"Oh, um, thanks."

"So, are you doing anything over the weekend for Halloween?"

"Um, yeah, I'm going to a Halloween party."

"Wow. Really? Mmm." I guess he didn't think I would ever go to a Halloween Party. Neither did I. If it weren't for Edward then I probably wouldn't go.

"Yeah, it's going to be a different scene for me. It's Edward's cousins' party so I'm going with him."

"Oh, really?" He seemed disappointed. Maybe he wanted to hang out?

He continued. "Yeah, I heard the Cullens were going away and I thought you were staying behind. Thought we could go to Eric's party together." How did he know the Cullens were going away? Man, this town has no secrets. Well, there is one secret.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that."

"Yeah, that really sucks. We could have had a good time. We could have went as Sandy and Danny from 'Grease.' I could have worn a leather jacket and sprayed my hair black. And you could have worn those tight, hot spandex pants with a short blonde wig. And you can't forget about those red heels. You would have looked way hot."

It was making me a little uncomfortable knowing he was picturing me in it. As I was about to reply Edward was next to me.

"Oh, hey Edward," Mike nervously said.

"Hi Mike."

"Heard you were going away for the weekend. And that Bella is going too."

"Yeah, she is. It's going to be great." I smiled at him. "Speaking of that, Alice is impatiently waiting for us in the car. We need to get to the airport."

I nodded at him. I turned around, "Bye Mike. Have fun at Eric's party." He just nodded and walked away.

"Sorry about that."

"No need to apologize love." He held my hand and kissed me on my head.

"So, do I have to ask?"

"Ask what?"

"Do I have to ask what he was thinking?" He had a stern look on his face.

"It was too graphic."

"I figured. But don't worry about Mike, he's harmless."

"No one is harmless in my eyes."

"Oh, yes I know that." I smiled at him. "I mean I know he likes me and all but it still makes me feel uncomfortable when I know he was picturing me in that outfit." His face looked as though he was mad about how Mike had made me feel.

"But I have to say, you would make a 'hot' Danny." I was trying to lighten the mood plus it was the truth. I looked at him and he smiled back. "I hope I'm not making you feel uncomfortable." He smirked at me.

"You can think any way you want about me. I only want you to look at me in that way, no one else."

"I feel the same way." At least he knows that I don't mind him picturing me in that way. But it does make me feel better knowing that he finds me attractive at anytime, even when I'm wearing sweatpants. I leaned into him as we walked. We fit together perfectly.

"Edward hurry up!"

"Alice, we're coming."

We hopped into Alice's car. Jasper was in the front seat. Rosalie and Emmett followed behind us. I asked about Esme and Carlisle and Edward said they were meeting us at the terminal.

We were on the plane. It was going to be a short flight but I didn't mind because we of course were in first class and it was comfortable. Edward told me I should take a nap but I was too nervous. I think he could sense it.

"Bella, you don't need to be nervous."

"I know. I just feel like it's as if I'm meeting the parents for the first time."

He smiled. "Don't worry, they'll like you."

"I hope so." I paused. "So, what does their house look like? Is it as big as yours?"

He chuckled. "Yeah. It's big like ours. Maybe bigger."

"Wow, bigger? But…" I kind of laughed to myself.

"What?"

"Well, I don't want to be an inconvenience and I can sleep on the couch or on the floor or something but do they have maybe a guest room that I can sleep in? I wasn't sure if they have any beds."

He chuckled. "Yes, I made sure they had a bed. They have a few guest rooms and one of them is yours."

I smiled. "Well, can we make it ours?"

He smiled again, "Of course."

"I'd feel much more comfortable if you were with me."

"Then that's what I'll do." He kissed me slightly. I leaned against him and put his arm across my stomach. I stroked his arm as we waited to land.

When we got off the plane we grabbed our luggage and headed outside. Of course the Cullens had rented a limo for the short ride. I wasn't surprised. I just rolled my eyes at Edward as we got in.

When we pulled up I couldn't believe the size of the house. It was huge.

I leaned over to Edward. "Edward, I forgot to ask you their names." I knew that they always referred them as the Denali Clan but I didn't know their names.

Emmett of course chuckled. I ignored him.

"Don't worry love. I'll introduce you to them and then you'll know who's who."

"Okay. But you'll probably have to tell me a few times. Although I don't know how you will without them hearing us. I'll just use hand gestures." I was rambling again.

They all started laughing. I didn't find my predicament funny but I couldn't help but join in laughing.

As I got out Edward held my hand. He's such a gentleman.

We walked into the house. It was beautiful. I couldn't believe the detailed art and sculptures in the walls.

As soon as we walked in they all greeted us. Edward introduced me to each of them and they were very welcoming. That was a relief.

The family consisted of Kate, Irina, Carmen, Eleazar, and Tanya. Kate, Irina, and Tayna are sisters while Carmen and Eleazar are mates and joined the clan after they met the 3 sisters.

When Edward introduced me to Tayna I couldn't help but notice that she started flirting with him, in front of me no less. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to start anything, plus I knew she could take me down in a second. I was uncomfortable while she was doing it and Edward could tell because I kept shifting my weight and looking down. He tightened his grip on my waist and pulled me closer.

"Hello Edward."

"Hi Tayna." I knew he wasn't going to be rude. It's not in his nature.

She stood rather close to him. He took a small step back and pulled me with him. She looked him up and down and then back up to his eyes.

"How have you been?" she asked.

"I've been great, thank you. And yourself?"

"Great. Just fabulous."

"Well I'm glad."

She stared at Edward and didn't even acknowledge me as if I wasn't even there.

"Tayna, this is my girlfriend, Bella. Bella, this is Tayna. She is Kate and Irina's sister."

"Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you." I was trying to speak without showing my nervousness. It was quite difficult to do. She is stunning. She is so beautiful. Her skin is just as smooth as Edward's. Her hair is gorgeous. It is strawberry-blonde and looks as though she gets it done by professional hair-stylists. Her body is perfect. I couldn't see one flaw. There is no comparison. She wins hands down.

Tayna stood there and looked me up and down. She wasn't even trying to be discrete. She was probably examining me and noticing how unattractive I am compared to her. I felt really uncomfortable. I had my arm around Edward's waist and I gripped his shirt on his one side for him to know how awkward Tayna was making me.

"Tayna, if you would please excuse us."

"Sure. No problem." I could feel her watching us as we walked away.

Edward led us outback in their sunroom. The scenery was beautiful as the land was all opened.

"Bella, I'm sorry about Tayna's behavior."

"It's okay Edward. It seems like she likes you. Not that I can blame her." I let out a slight laugh. I turned my head back to look outside.

"It's not just that…"

"So she does?" I smiled at him and leaned into him more.

"Yes. But also, years ago she showed 'interest' in me but I turned her down."

I turned to look at him. "Turned her down? Mm. But she's so beautiful."

"Bella, the interpretation of beauty varies from person to person."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that yes, most people would find her beautiful, but she doesn't take my breath away whenever I look or think of her as you do. Plus her personality isn't all that warming either."

I teased him, "You technically don't have to breath."

He gave me a look. "You know what I mean Ms. Swan."

"Yes I know what you mean. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that you have the same affect on me. But the fact that I do need to breath may qualify your affect on me as unhealthy."

He smiled at me. "Are you saying you no longer wish to look or think of me?"

I put my arms around his neck. "Quite the opposite. I'd like nothing more than to look and think of you. Breathing is over rated. Plus, you know CPR, right?"

"I do." He smiled.

"There, problem solved."

"Wow."

"Wow, what?"

"I just thought that you'd result in bringing up me changing you as a solution."

"That was my first thought but I knew it would put a frown on your face. I guess you can only be annoyed at yourself now."

I giggled as he didn't say anything. He knew I was right.

"Now, can we go to the guest room? I wanted to unpack some of my things, plus everyone here may not sleep but it's 2am and I'm dragging here." I let out a giggle.

He looked at the clock on the wall. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Bella. I didn't even realize what time it was."

"It's no problem. Now, would you be so kind to carry me to my room before I suddenly pass out." I gave him a smirk.

He smirked back. "As you wish my lady."

"As you know, this is for precaution reasons only."

He nodded. "Of course, just being cautious."

I put my one hand on his cheek and kissed him as he scooped me up.

He flew by everyone and ran upstairs. He dropped me on the bed and I yelped. He smiled, ran downstairs to get my bag, and then was back in 2 seconds.

I looked through my bag. I sighed.

"What's wrong love?"

I looked at him while rolling my eyes.

"Alice only packed lace lingerie." I held up one of the pairs. His eyes got wide. I couldn't help but giggle to myself.

"What?"

"You should have seen the look on your face." I paused while staring at all the pairs.

"We are here for 2 nights and she packed like 10 pairs."

"I guess she wasn't sure what you'd prefer."

"Or what you'd prefer." He just smiled but didn't say anything.

"Well, since you will be sleeping here with me, what one do you like most?"

I think he was surprised that I was considering wearing any of them.

"Bella, you can wear something of mine if you'd like."

"No, it's okay. I'll wear one of these. But, if I have to go out of the room I'm putting on one of your shirts. And if someone comes in you better throw the blanket over me." I was serious.

He chuckled. "Deal."

"I mean it Edward, you know Emmett would love to barge in here and catch us off guard to embarrass me."

He nodded because he knows I am right.

"Okay, I'm going to go get changed. Can you give me one of your shirts so that I can wear it on my way back from the bathroom?"

"Bella?"

"What?" He was pointing to the one door. "What?"

"Each bedroom has their own bathroom."

"Wow. Geez. Well, that's convenient. But odd. Since none of you have to use the bathroom." He just chuckled but didn't say anything.

I got changed and was ready to open the door.

"Edward, close your eyes."

"What?"

"Just do it."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because it shows a lot of skin and I'm embarrassed."

"Bella Swan you have reason to be embarrassed about your body. But if you want me to close my eyes then I will."

"Please do."

"Okay they're shut." He better have them shut.

I ran out of the bathroom and jumped under the covers.

He smiled.

"What?"

"Nothing." He paused. I started fixing the sheets so I could snuggle down and onto his chest. The he spoke again. "I like that one freckle on your inner thigh. It's bigger than some of the others on your body." He wouldn't look me in the eye.

"What?" I looked under the covers at my thigh. I turned to look at him and he was looking under the covers.

I smacked his arm. "Edward Cullen. You peaked! And you just did it again."

He let out a light laugh. My hand was throbbing a little bit I paid no attention to it. This was more important.

"I'm sorry love, it's just that your body is magnificent and I couldn't help but look."

I looked at him. I sighed. "It's okay. Plus, I do have freckles elsewhere on my body. Maybe if you're good you'll be able to see them."

"Bella…"

"Calm down. I'm just teasing. Look but no touch, okay?"

"No touch? At all?"

"Okay, fine. You can touch. Just no being fresh… unless you want to. I'm perfectly fine with that." I trailed my fingers from his lower abdomen up to his cheek where I reached for a kiss.

"Lets just leave it to where I can look and touch but I won't be what you call 'fresh'."

"Okay, deal."

I snuggled onto his chest. I traced circles on his stomach as I fell asleep.

I woke up a few hours later when I heard our bedroom door swing open.

I jumped. It was Emmett. I was squinting my eyes, trying to adjust to the light from outside the door since it was pitch black in the bedroom.

He scared me. "What the hell Emmett?"

He yelled, "See Rose, I told you! I told you they weren't doing anything!"

I sighed and laid back down. Not before I saw Edward start to chase Emmett out of the bedroom. I was too tired to care. I went to shut the door before I laid down again. As I was about to shut it Emmett was at the door again.

"Oh my god, Rose, she is wearing that lingerie stuff that Alice got for her!"

Oh my god, I wanted to die. I can't believe this is happening. I slammed the door shut and jumped under the covers. I put the comforter over my head and refused to take it off.

So a weekend away with the Cullens. How do you think it will go for Bella? What is she being for Halloween? Tanya seems to show some interest toward Edward – how do you think that's gonna go? Will Emmett embarrass her anymore? Many things are going to happen in the next few chapters… have to read to find out. Please leave reviews.
