After about three minutes of Edward's ferocious driving, we were twisting and turning down the long, narrow path that led to the Cullen's hidden mansion. Edward stopped the car and turned to look at me.
"We are going to have lots of fun today, I promise. You can definately hold my hand on the big rides."
I sat still, continuing to stare out the window into the forest.
"It's not the big rides i'm scared of. It's embarassing myself by doing something stupid in front of you or your family."
Despite the little space in the small Volvo, Edward was almost comepletely doubled over laughing.
After a minute or so of me sitting there, feeling like an idiot, Edward's laughter slowed.
"Bella, darling, how in the world did you get an idea of ME getting embarassed by YOU? If anyone is gonna get red in the face, it will be you because of me! I have never been to a fair before in my entire life, and don't think that just because I am an almost indestructable vampire, that I won't get scared on rollar coasters. You have nothing to be worried about when it comes to being embarassed."
I sat there a minute, running his words over in my head. A few seconds later, my shoulders relaxed. I looked over at him. He was smiling my favorite crooked smile of his. We got out of the car and walked to the door, hand in hand.
"Hello everyone! We are back, and have news!" Edward called. His voice echoed off of the bare walls throughout the house.
All of the Cullen's seemed to have been waiting for us, for right then they were starting to file down the staris in a line, Alice leading the way.
Alice danced over to me and pecked me on the cheek. "Hello, sister Swan!" Next she twirled over to Edward and kissed him swiftly on the cheek also. "Hello, Alice. I suppose you know already why we came?!" Edward said, nearly bouncing in the air.
"Why yes, I do. And I am ready to go now!"
Rosealie was sitting on the love seat with Emmett. "Go where?" Emmett asked, exited now as well.
"TO THE FAIR!!!" Alice shouted, unable to contain her joy.
It was now Jasper's turn to be exited. "Oh my gosh! I've always wanted to go! I've heard about them, but never actually been."
I looked over at Carlisle, Esme sitting on his knee. He was rubbing his chin.
Everyone else was looking at him also. "PLEASE?" we all said at once. "Ok, I suppose so..."
Everyone jumped up at the same time and ran off in different directions, starting to get things organized for their trip.
Gosh. I didn't realize hoe "out of date" these ancient vampires were...
