This is just a short story in Bella's POV. Kind of fluffy, I suppose. I am thinking about possibly continuing, so tell me what you think.

"I can't wait until graduation."

It is just a statement. One simple sentence. Nothing especially odd about it. You would never expect it to lead to an argument…unless you are dating a vampire, and graduation just happens to be the day that his father plans to turn you into one of them. Even then, you wouldn't expect it to cause said vampire boyfriend to be angry. You might even expect him to be happy that you could spend eternity with him. Not Edward. Even still, that one simple, five word sentence could not possibly alter your life forever…can it?

"Edward! Can't you just listen to what I have to say?" My screams echoed down the hall from Edward's room, where we were currently arguing about the issue of my becoming a vampire.

"Bella, I have heard your opinion, but I still refuse to damn you to this life," he replied in a calm but authoritative tone. I knew that his tone meant that that we were done having this discussion. By this time, tears of frustration were pouring out of my eyes.

Graduation was in three weeks, and the promise I had made with Carlisle was looming over our heads. We would fight about this issue regularly. I still desperately wanted Edward to be the one who changed me, but he was just as stubborn as ever.

"Fine. I will just stick with the plan that we made after we all voted, and let Carlisle change me," I knew he would have something to say to my comment, but I didn't want to hear him object, so I left his room, without tripping might I add, to find Alice.

We had a sort of routine for our arguments now. It would start with me accidentally making a comment about my future immortality, which would cause Edward to tense with anger. That is when the fighting would start. It always ended with me stomping out of the room to find someone who would assure me that Edward would come around eventually. Once we were both calm, we would reconcile, and forget the previous argument until the next time the cycle would repeat itself.

"But Alice, he just won't budge on this issue, and it is driving me crazy," I ranted to Alice. I always had to rant after fighting with Edward, and Alice was always there to listen.

"Bella, I know that he will give up eventually," she said for about the tenth time, while tapping her head knowingly, "I really think you should try to talk to him about it again."

"Alice, are you sure?"

She closed her eyes momentarily before assuring me that it would turn out well.

I knew Alice would never lie to me, so I got up and slowly walked downstairs to where I could hear him playing a soothing melody on the piano.

I came and sat next to him on the piano and waited for him to finish playing.

Once he had finished I took a deep breath and started, "Edward, I know you are completely set against me being turned because you are worried about my soul and everything, but I love you and I want more than anything to spend eternity with you! I just wish that you could see that I am willing to give anything to be with you."

He stayed uncharacteristically calm and replied with the same thing that he did the night after we had voted, "Bella, I would not be at all objected to changing you, if you would be willing to marry me first."

I was taken aback. He had not mentioned his idea of marriage since that night. I knew he was both hoping that I would be discouraged by the idea of marriage, but that he also was hoping I would say yes. As I thought things through, I looked at his face to see him wearing that crooked grin I loved so much, but it didn't reach his eyes. I knew he thought that I was going to say 'no' to the idea. I knew that there were plenty of reasons for me to say no; Charlie, Renee, Jacob, my soul (if I believed in Edward's view), all the human aspects of my life, but even after I thought of all these reasons, I also realized that there was one reason that I should say 'yes'. I would be with Edward forever. I knew that I would give up anything for that. With this new realization in mind, I knew my answer.

"Would you be willing to change me first?"

"Well of course, but I would still like to wait until after graduation if you don't mind," he obviously thought he was calling my bluff just like the night after the vote.

"Yes."

He turned to look at me with many emotions playing across his face. His eyes held confusion and shock for my obvious change of response from the last time, but most dominantly excitement and joy for my acceptance.

"Wh-what?"

"Yes, I love you Edward. I would give anything to be with you."

"Wait here." He ran at his amazing vampire pace up the stairs before I could even process what he had said.

As soon as he had gone, he had come back. He knelt down in front of me and pulled out a small ring size box from behind his back, and opened it to reveal what had to be the most beautiful ring I had ever seen.

"Isabella Swan, would you do me the honor of marrying me?"

"Yes!"

I quickly jumped into his arms as we both told each other 'I love you'.

After being congratulated by the rest of the Cullens who had been watching from somewhere in the room, I sat next to my future husband on the piano bench where he was playing my lullaby.

"I can't wait until graduation."

Something that could hear from any senior at any school. Not a terribly special statement. Not a statement that you would expect to produce a range of very strong emotions from both you and your boyfriend's vampire family. Maybe it could cause a feeling of sadness at the loss of your sense of familiarity, or perhaps it would resurface fading memories of your school career. You, however, would probably not expect it to cause an argument that would end in a wedding engagement to a vampire. Five words cannot lead to a string of life altering events…can it? Yes, they can.
