Afterward

Bella's POV

I simply had the best life; an awesome family, living forever with me. There wasn't even one thing that I disliked, not even a little. Each day regular day would be the same, but it was good.

Today was different, though. It was a warm early-July day. When everyone was in the living room, everyone somehow got to the topic of PNE, which had actually started out from a subject of pancakes that Jasper has started. "LET'S GO TO PNE TOMORROW!!" yelled Emmett.

Everyone stared at him.

PNE?! That's all the way in Vancouver! We're in Forks! Well… we are vampires…but still…

"Yes! Let's go!" said Alice, clapping her hands together.

Everyone agreed.

The next day, at 5:00 am, we were already to go. Rosalie had actually wanted to set off at 2:00 am, but that would be too early for Renesmee, since she had to sleep. Besides, Jacob was probably coming, too, and PNE didn't open that early. Esme phoned him at 4:50 am, telling him to come right now if he wanted to join us. When she hung up, she told us that he was on his way. We all hunted (so we wouldn't be tempted as much), then piled into Alice's car, with Carlisle driving at high speed.

We were talking the whole trip, and Jacob had even tried to get us all started in singing "Down By The Bay", but nobody listened. I think he got slightly discouraged after that.

Many hours later, we arrived in Vancouver. It was only 9:00 am. We looked out our windows at this new unfamiliar city. About 20 minutes later of speed-driving, we reached PNE. Everyone got out and went to the ticket booth, where they were just opening. Great timing! Everyone stood next to their partners and waited while Carlisle and Esme bought tickets. Rosalie was telling Emmet to behave. Everyone had laughed at that.

Our large family walked through, receiving stamps on our right hands as we slid through. PNE was empty.

Emmett ran, human speed, toward 'Wave Swinger', a large swing ride, with a giant circular column in the middle, and at the top, like an umbrella, with many swing seats drooping down.

He ran up and the man let him through.

Emmett immediately ran to a blue swing and sat down. Then he waited.

We all laughed at him and all went to join him. Though we were the first ones, soon, more and more people poured in really quickly. Soon the swings were all filled up and the ride started.

Next to me was Edward, of coarse, on the outer side, and Renesmee on the inner. Jacob was directly behind her; not letting her out of his sight.

I could hear Emmett "woo-hoo-ing" his head off on the other side.

As quickly as it started, the ride was over. We all got off and met near the exit.

________________________________________________________________________

It was now 6:00 pm, and Jacob's arms were filled with all the prizes that Renesmee had won. She was now at another booth, a red ball in her hands. The objective was to knock down the 3 stacked pins. Knock all 3 in one shot and you win one of the bigger prizes.

Renesmee threw the ball; I watched it soar, in a perfect straight line, and hit directly in the centre of the 3 pins, knowing them all down onto the floor. The audience clapped.

"I don't think I can hold anymore, Renesmee. They're light, but I won't be able to see!" said Jacob from behind the mountain of toys he was carrying.

"C'mon!" said Renesmee. She picked out a dinosaur, as big as 2/3rds of her. It was cotton candy blue, with a light pink stomach and ears. Renesmee proudly carried it over to Edward and I, as she had done with every prize she had earned. We smiled at her, then watched as she threw it onto the top of the pile. Jacob let out a loud sigh, but luckily didn't complain.

Just after that, the 4 of us heard Emmett's voice. We ran toward it, and it lead us to the Hellavator, a giant column with a thing that went around; seats on it. It would go up really fast, then down even faster, then again. Emmett was on it, Rosalie next to him, Alice next to her, and Jasper next to Alice. We watched them go up and down, then get off. Rosalie spotted us immediately, then grabbed Alice, Emmett, and Jasper to meet us.

"Woo hoo! That was one of the best rides! Just 4 more rides to go!" hollered Emmett.

"I know, right?!" cheered Jasper.

"Hey, let's get to the Coaster now; then we'd only have 3 more to go," said Rosalie, shoving them in the direction of the Coaster, a wooden roller coaster. It was built especially to make you feel like you were falling when it turned.

We watched them walk away.

To my surprise, Renesmee suddenly said, "Hey! I want to try the Hellevator! C'mon, Uncle Jake! Let's go!" I stopped her, then said, "Um… I know that you can handle it, but I'm not sure that the person over there would let you. They'll think you're too young."

She looked sad for a moment, then a smile spread into her perfect little face.
"I'll show them I can handle it. I have a plan." Grabbing Jacob by his arm, which was still holding the prizes, she got into line. Edward whispered to me, "She can do it. Don't worry, love." Then he kissed me.

Renesmee and Jacob got to the front. Perfect. There were only 3 more seats on the ride.

One seat for Renesmee, one for Jacob, and one for all those prizes. Ok, fine. Not the prizes. I just hope that he doesn't expect Edward and I to toy-sit. The man stared at Renesmee, who was looking down at Renesmee, who was smiling sweetly.

"Uh, sir? This child is too young to ride this. Even if she has adult supervision, she's not going to like it."

Renesmee glared at him. And she rarely glares. Must be part of her plan.

"Uhh…."

"Hey! I believe she can handle it. Wanna bet? If she doesn't cry or want to get off for this whole ride, you've gotta give this girl's" –he said 'girl' louder- "family and I free passes for another day." Challenged Jacob

"Sir, I'm not allowed to do that…"

Renesmee couldn't help resisting putting her 2 cents in. "Hah! I can do it! I think I can handle it better than that" –she pointed to a guy sitting on a bench, who looked like he was just about to throw up- "guy."

From behind them, people were yelling at them to hurry up. Some were saying "Do it!" or "go, little dudette!" I even heard one laugh hysterically and say to her friend, "she so can't do it. Even you cant!" she nudged her friend, who nudged back. Ohh, Renesmee was about to show her. The man finally gave in and her go, but made sure they knew that he wasn't responsible.

They got on. I heard Renesmee's cheerful squeals as she rode. The person next to her was looking sick. The ride ended. By now, the whole Cullen family was next to us, saying things like, "Is that Renesmee?!" and "Look at her go!"

The man ended up having to give us free passes to us. As we headed home in the 11:00 darkness, Esme examined the passes. "These expire at the end of July." She said to us.

Then Rosalie said, "Then let's go again tomorrow!"

Emmett looked dumbfounded. "You mean that?!" he yelled into her ear.

"Umm.. well..." We all stared at her. "..I was kind of kidding…"

We all watched and waited for something to happen.

Esme brought us back by saying, "Why not?"

Emmett watched as a giant advertising sign on the road passed. It was showing a dolphin show at the Vancouver Aquarium. Rosalie saw him look. "Emmett, we are not going to the Vancouver Aquarium," she told him sternly. "Okay. So what about Marineland, then?" he said with a victorious smile on his face. Rosalie sighed and looked out her window. "That's all the way in Ottawa!" I screamed. "Isn't it?" I added; they had large grins on their faces, then burst into laughter. Edward leaned over to me and whispered, "Um, love? Marineland is in Ontario; not Ottawa…"

"Oh." If I could've, I would have blushed from embarrassment. Emmett was laughing the hardest. Even Carlisle, Esme, and Renesmee were laughing. After a long trip home, Renesmee asleep, we all went into our rooms and awaited the next day.
