A/N-My first EVER Twilight fanfic. And guess how I thought of it. Watching Backyadigans with my little sister. Yep. So I typed it up and submitted it, and viola, fanfic! I even have a rabid fan, my friend Marci. I'm gonna try to convince her to join. -- Anyway, read and review!!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. I do, however, own a toy horse named Sugarpie. :3 It all belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

Bella

I turned to my best friend Angela, who was calmly brushing Sugarpie. I admired the dapple gray, but was not in the mood to stare at horses.

"Ang," I began, leaning against the side of the stall. She stopped brushing, and we went to the next stall. "Do you ever wish that you had a better job here?"

"I dunno." she replied, entering the stall beside Suagrpie's. Inside was Ebony, a beautiful black racing horse. And beside her, glaring at me, was her owner, Edward Masen. I narrowed my eyes at him, knowing that he had heard my question.

"Not satisfied with your job, Izzy?" he asked mockingly, grinning a dazzling but dangerous smile at me. I crossed my arms over my chest stubbornly, refusing to give in.

"Not at all, Eddie." I replied in the same sarcastic tone. "I always wanted to live in a tiny apartment, cleaning up horse crap for a living."

"Oh no, poor baby. Why don't you go crying to mommy? I'm sure that your local McDonalds has some open spots."

"At least I'd get away from you." I hissed.

"Harsh. That really hurts." he replied sarcastically, turning to stroke Ebony's mane.

That struck a nerve. I narrowed my eyes before turning and stalking away.

Laughter erupted behind me. I gritted my teeth and made my way to the vending machine. Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew...

I got to the vending machine. It was out of Mountain Dew.

Worst day ever. I checked my watch. The Worst Day Ever had four hours left.

Edward

As soon as Bella left, I stopped stroking Ebony. When she was out of earshot, I stopped laughing. Angela looked at me as I left.

"You can handle her this one time, right?" I asked bitterly. I closed the stall door behind me and I went in the general direction of the parking lot. I unlocked my silver Volvo and climbed in, putting the key in the ignition.

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I got it out and checked the caller ID. Jasper. I flipped open my phone.

"Yes, Jasper?" I asked, voice shaking from repressed anger.

"Dude, can you come over? I've got a new girlfriend and I need your approval." he told me. I could hear someone talking in the background.

"If anyone didn't need girlfriend approval, it'd be you." I replied, drumming my fingers on the steering wheel. Hurry up. I need to leave. I thought angrily.

"C'mon, you have nothing better to do." Jasper pleaded. Pathetic. I thought.

"Fine! I'll come." I huffed, snapping my phone shut without a goodbye. I drove to Jasper's apartment in a haze of fury.

I burst in the door, not bothering to knock.

"Hey Edward!" someone cheered. I looked around to see someone rather short with brown hair tied back into a bouncy ponytail. She had brown eyes that glittered with excitement.

"Edward, this is Amber." Jasper said calmly. I held out my hand politely, but she disregarded it and hugged me. I looked over her ponytail at Jasper, who shrugged apologetically. I shot him a lethal glare.

"Nice to meet you, Amber." I said with false politeness, grabbing her shoulders firmly and pushing her away from me. She pouted, and went to go stand with Jasper. She was rather graceful, though she still annoyed me.

"Same to you, Edward." she replied with a smile. She stood on her tiptoes and gave Jasper a kiss. Dramatically, I turned away with a gagging motion.

"Sorry, dude." Jasper grinned a few seconds later. "But isn't she beautiful?"

"Sure. Beautiful. Nothing like her." I hissed. "Can I leave now?"

"Yeah, sure. Go ride your horses." Jasper rolled his eyes.

"Bye Edward!!" Amber exclaimed, running over and giving me another hug. I mimed murdering Jasper over her head. He laughed. I escaped from Amber and stalked out the door.

Bella

I leaned against the doorway for about ten minutes after that. Suddenly, I heard a pounding sound and something vibrated against my back. I sighed and moved. A tall, muscular guy with russet colored skin burst though.

"Oh, was I blocking you way?" I asked apologetically.

"Aw, no problem." he assured me with an airy wave of his hand, "I was just wondering if some monster was trying to trap me inside." he grinned jokingly.

"Nope, just me." I muttered, leaning against the wall beside the door.

"You seem frustrated." he noted.

"Gee, I wonder why..." I replied sarcastically. "Someone's just getting on my nerves lately..."

"Edward Masen?" he asked. My head snapped up.

"How'd you know?" I demanded, looking up at him in wonderment.

"He hates just about everyone here." he said to me. "Not just you, uh...what's your name?"

"Bella." I told him, extending a hand.

"Jacob." he replied, firmly grasping my hand.

"So you have a horse here?" I asked Jacob, pushing his arm from my shoulder. He shrugged, unfazed.

"Yep." he led me to one stall. I saw a tall horse, almost the same color as Jacob's skin. "This is Nessie."

"Nessie?" I snorted. He opened the stall and led me in.

"No laughing at my horse." he scolded with a grin. Nessie sniffed my hand, and I petted Nessie softly.

"She's beautiful." I told him. He chuckled.

"No dip." he said. "Wanna ride her?"

I stared at him, shocked. "S-sure."

He grinned at me and led Nessie out of the stall.

"Jacob!!" a shrill voice yelled. I jumped, and he rolled his eyes.

"What now, Alyssa?" he demanded. A tall, tan girl with wavy blond hair stalked over to us.

"No one's allowed in the pasture now." she told him, crossing her arms over her chest.

"We're going on the trail, Lyss." he shrugged. She struggled for a comeback, then rolled her eyes and walked away with a huff.

"C'mon Bells." he grinned at me.

Edward

My phone rang. I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace blasted out, and I flipped my phone open.

"Hey Jasper." I grumbled.

"Edward, I'm gonna introduce Amber to Mom and Dad. Can you come?" he begged. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, okay." I muttered, closing my phone angrily. I turned my car around and headed back to his apartment building.

"Hi Edward." my dad said as I entered the apartment for the second time today. My mom stood on his right, and aunt Jen was on his left.

"Aunt Jen?" I asked, momentarily forgetting my anger.

"I broke my leg." she told me, pointing to her leg, which was wrapped in a blue and green cast. She, like my dad, was tall and had blond hair. She balanced on her crutches, and I noticed that there were many, many signatures on her cast.

"Oh." I simply said.

"Hi Carlisle!! Hi Esme!!" Amber suddenly exclaimed, bursting into the room. She gave each a hug, then simply smiled to Jen.

"Hello Amber, it's nice to meet you." my mom said kindly. Amber nodded at her.

"Nice to see you again, Amber." I mumbled. I looked at Jasper with a Can I please go now? look. He nodded. I sighed with relief, waving to my parents on my way out. Back to the stables.

Bella

We stood at the entrance to the trail, which was near the parking lot. Jacob held Nessie's reins, and I stood beside him, trying to put a riding helmet on. I snapped the buckle beneath my chin, and Jacob looked it over.

"Yep, not backwards or anything." he laughed. I blushed.

"Just so you know, I'm really clumsy." I warned him. He gave another airy wave of his hand and shrugged. I climbed onto Nessie and sat uncertainly on the saddle.

"I'll be here to catch you if you fall." he promised. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a silver car pull into the parking lot. Jacob placed his hands on my waist to prove his point. A car door slammed. I leaned over to give Jacob a kiss on the cheek as a sign of gratitude.

When I pulled away and opened my eyes, Edward Masen was standing there, open mouthed and furious.

Edward

I drove into the parking lot, wanting nothing more than to go on a nice long ride with Ebony. I parked and got out of my car, slamming the door behind me. I began to walk over to the stable, passing the entrance to the trail as I went.

I stopped dead in my tracks.

There was Bella, on Jacob Black's horse, giving him a kiss on the cheek as he held her waist.

She drew away from him, then stared at me with an expression of shock.
