This story is a combination of my two favorite Books/movies Tuck Everlasting and Twilight. I hope that if you are fans of either one that you will give the other a chance. There both interesting stories and I love them! :D This follows the plot in Tuck Everlasting just with the characters that the brilliant Stephanie Meyer created.

Most of the storyline is the same. I've just broken up the different lines the Tuck Everlasting characters have said based on the Twilight characters back-stories. For all the Tuck Everlasting people, this will make sense when you read it!

Disclaimer: I own nothing! I wish I did though!

Introduction

For some, time passes slowly, an hour can seem an eternity. For others, there's never enough. For the Cullens, it didn't exist.

Time is like a wheel. Turning and turning - never stopping. And the woods are the center; the hub of the wheel.

It began the first week of summer, a strange and breathless time when accident, or fate, bring lives together. When people are led to do things, they've never done before.

On this summer's day, not so very long ago, the wheel set lives in motion in mysterious ways. It set Esme Cullen out in her wagon for the village of Forks to meet her children as she did once every ten years.

Chapter One: Reunion

It was raining, as always, in Forks Washington. But Esme didn't mind. As she rode into town, she noted the new advances of the coming age. It had been so long since she had seen other people other than her husband Carlisle. It was nice to get back to civilization. A little girl was smiling at Esme while her mother was shopping. Esme smiled at her and moved on. Two women passed her as she looked at the wares the vendors had to sell. They were complaining about the rain.

It's amazing what women put themselves through! Esme thought as they passed wearing what appeared to be bee-keeper hats.

No one commented on the strange yellow color of her eyes. No one really looked at her at all. She just blended into the scenery.

She went back to the wagon to wait for her children and she took out a small music box that played a wistful melody, it calmed her.

"Ma!" Emmett yelled as he spotted Esme.

"Rosalie! Emmett!" She cried as she jumped down to embrace her son. He swung her around in his great big arms. They both had yellow eyes just like Esme's.

"I missed you! What are you doing here?" He asked her after he set her back down.

"Oh, I couldn't wait to see you! I missed you, Emmett." Esme kissed her son.

"Oh, wait, I got something for you." Emmett said as he dug through his bag.

Rosalie tried to give her mother a genuine smile and then walked past her husband and mother to give them time to enjoy their reunion, before she ruined it.

"I got something." He was rummaging through his bag, unable to find his mothers present. "Here, look!" He smiled as he presented a small triangular shaped structure. "It's the Eiffel Tower!"

"Would you look at that!" She smiled and held the tower up to examine it closer.

"Got it in Paris, France." Emmett said proudly. "Oh, Mom, you've never seen anything so tall in your life! I didn't believe Edward when he told us about it! Oh, I got something else. You're favorite, wild flowers!" he presented her with a small bouquet of flowers that he'd picked on the way.

"Oh! I've died and gone to Heaven!" Esme said. They all wished it was true. She hugged Emmett again. "Oh, Emmett!" She said again and then gasped, she'd forgotten about the statuesque blonde. "Rosalie…."

Emmett and Esme turned to see Rosalie greeting the horse and then looking up in acknowledgement of her name.

"Give your mother a hug." Esme whispered as she walked forward to meet her daughter. Emmett smiled encouraging at Rosalie from behind Esme's back. Rosalie's answering smile was timed as she hugged her mother back. "Ten years." Esme wondered, and then she laughed. "You're as cozy as barbed wire." She remarked on Rosalie's indifferent greeting.

Emmett came up behind them and made it a group hug.

"It's good to have you back!" Esme said with a smile.

Alice and Jasper showed up later, their train had run late and apologized for keeping them, their golden eyes guilty.

"It's quite alright dears." Esme told them as she embraced the couple. "We've got nothing but time!" Everyone laughed at her joke, except for Rosalie. There was an awkward silence. "Alrighty then!" she said, trying to alleviate the tension. "Let's go home, up in the wagon everyone."

"What about Edward?" Alice piped in her wind chime voice.

"He wrote me a letter saying he would meet us there." Emmett told her.

The Cullen children loaded up in the back of Esme's wagon and they headed off out of town.

Meanwhile, at a touch-me-not cottage…
