This is a couple that has always fascinated me, and that I've always wanted to know more about. This is the story of how they met, fell in love, and what happened after Breaking Dawn. The point of view will usually be Kate's or Garrett's, but every once in a while it'll be someone else's, like Tanya's, Edward's (the reading minds thing is what's important about that, obviously), Carlisle's or Bella's. I'll always specify when POV is changing though, so it should be pretty easy to follow. ENJOY!!!

Disclaimer: IF I was Stephanie Meyers this would totally have been in the book, so, it has to follow that I am NOT, in fact, Stephanie Meyers, and, sadly, these characters don't belong to me *crying*.

Kate's POV:

The first time I saw him was a moment I won't forget as long as I live, which happens to be forever.

It was a few days after Tanya, Eleazar, Carmen, and I had arrived. I happened to be in the living room with Tanya while Bella and Edward were presenting Renesme to Garrett, who had arrived alone. What surprised me and intrigued me about him was that he was uncommonly good looking for a vampire, and I was having trouble looking away, something that had never happened to me before. I'd had my fair share of wooers in other male vampires, but none had interested me in the slightest. What intrigued me more was that no one else seemed to be having this problem, not even Tanya, who loves to flirt with vampires and humans. He was tall, about 6 foot 2 inches I'd say, with sandy-blond hair pulled back in a pony tail. He wore faded blue jeans and a t-shirt. His simple dress enhanced his features, making his muscular arms more prominent, but not is a flashy way. I immediately felt drawn to him in a way I hadn't been with anyone I had ever met, and I was curious to see why. When Bell and Edward finished explaining he talked to Renesme for a moment, before moving towards me. The red eyes didn't frighten or offend me, because, while I chose to live differently than other vampires, I had no right to judge them, and never did. Also, I felt as though I could see past the red, to a twinkle in them. It was playful, but I could tell it had the potential to be serious, and I felt as though I could see deep into him through those eyes.

Garrett's POV:

As I turned away from Edward, Bella, and Renesme I found myself facing the prettiest vampire I'd ever seen. No--pretty wasn't the right word to describe her, but I couldn't think of a word that did her justice. Pretty, beautiful, and gorgeous were understatements, but they were the only words that even came remotely close. Throughout my existence a fair number of vampires have found me attractive, but I've never really been interested, until now. She was tall for a woman, I'd put her at about 5 foot 11 inches, and she was slender. Her long, blond hair was pulled back in a side pony tail and still hung to about an inch above her waist. Everything about her was graceful, more so than any other vampire I'd ever met. But what was most beautiful about her was her eyes. I'd seen Edward's eyes were golden too, and he told me it was due to his and his family's practice of feeding on animals. I hadn't given it much thought until I saw her. It wasn't just the color of her eyes, it was the depth. They glowed with a challenging, playful gleam, and everyone knows I like a challenge.

As I walked towards her the strawberry blond beside her, who I'd barely registered, moved away to talk with Bella and Edward, not that I really cared.

Kate's POV:

"Hello," he said, walking over to me, and I noticed that Tanya had vanished, probably talking to Bella and Edward, but I had no real desire to find out.

"Hello," I replied.

"I'm Garrett," he said, extending his hand. I pondered the name for a fraction of a millisecond. It fit him perfectly.

"I'm Kate," I replied, taking his hand and shaking it.

For a few minutes we talked of non-consequential things. He found out where I lived, and I found out what I'd guessed all along when he had arrived alone, he was a nomad.

He seemed to know that Irina was my sister, because he didn't mention her to me, as many others had when they had first met me and we began to talk. The sting of her betrayal was still sharp, and I wasn't ready to talk about it with anyone, not even Tanya, let alone strangers. However, I soon discovered that I wouldn't mind talking to Garrett about it. He was very open and playful. It soon became apparent that he liked an adventure, and challenges. He was like me in that way, and I had a feeling, even then, that we'd get along well.

Edward's POV:

Explaining to Garrett about Renesme didn't take long at all. He seemed to know that we weren't lying, even before he touched her, and, in her way, talked to her. From his thoughts I learned a lot about him. He was a nomad, though that was something we'd known already, and I could tell he was an adventurer, and a lover of challenges. He was playful, and witty too, and I found myself reminded of Kate, for she too had that same witty, playfulness about her.

As he left us I was unsurprised to see him walk over to Kate, but I was surprised when Tanya joined us. Bella and Tanya talked, but I was focused more on Kate and Garrett in the corner. Their thoughts were something quite interesting indeed. They were sizing each other up, and had come to the same conclusions that I had about each other, and, just as I'd thought, they were getting along very well. I'd have to wait and see just how well they would get along.

So that was their first meeting. I hope you'll drop me a review and tell me what you thought about this, cause I want to know if everyone's liking it...

XOXO
