"The fuck is this, Frizz?"

"It's a..." His grin widened, and his eyes got even bigger than they already were. "Time machine!"

I just stared at him. "What are we going to do with a time machine?"

"Go back in time. Duh."

"I am happy here, Frizz," I lied, "I do not want to go back in time." Something occurred to me then. "Where the hell did you even get this?"

Frizz's eyes twinkled, and his smile turned mischievous. "A place that I promised to keep shrouded in darkness."

A small smile took over my lips. Frizz was in a good mood. "Well why do you even wanna go back in time?"

"To see the Rusties, of course!" he exclaimed. "Prehistoric times! How fascinating!"

I held back a giggle. "Frizz, that's not prehistoric times. And it's almost two thousand years ago. I don't know if this thing could handle two thousand years." I lightly kicked the bulbous, rusty time machine.

"Don't hurt her!" Frizz cried, then he pushed me away from the giant contraption. "That might leave a bruise, Aya."

I just rolled my eyes.

Frizz grinned at that, then pulled grabbed my hand and pulled me into the time machine. He sat me down in one of the chairs, then shut the door.

"Frizz, we can't go back in time," I said. "I doubt this thing even works."

"Don't doubt her, Aya. She can do magical things." He started pushing random buttons on the control panel that was in front of us. At once the giant machine roared to life, making me jump.

When Frizz started flying the thing, I got even more uneasy. "Frizz, c'mon, let's just go back home."

"Passenger, please put on your seatbelt," Frizz instructed, trying to sound like a Rusty pilot.

I couldn't help but giggle as I put on my seatbelt.

Frizz pressed two more buttons, then there was a deafening boom and a jolting crash. I nearly fell out of my seat, and I would have, if it wasn't for my seatbelt.

"Are you alright, Aya-chan?" Frizz asked breathlessly. He was also shaking a little.

I nodded slowly, then unhooked my seatbelt. "Where are we, Frizz?"

Frizz looked at the control panel. "Um. I think I put in 2010..."

"2010?!" I screamed. "Frizz, why the hell would you put in 2010? What if this thing actually worked?"

"I thought you doubted her!"

I groaned and threw my hands up in the air. "It's not a girl machine, Frizz! Now please tell me where the hell we are! We better be in Yokohama!"

Frizz got out of his seat and opened his door slowly. After a couple seconds, he gasped, then turned to look at me.

"What?" I stood up too and walked over to the door. What I saw made me gasp too.

We were in a forest. And it was buzzing with life. There were all kinds of plants, animals, just everything! This had to be a dream!

Frizz stepped out of the bulky machine, and I slowly followed.

In the distance, there was an enormous house. There were several glass windows, orange colored wood, and…

"Is that a car?" Frizz cried, thinking the same thing as me. "There shouldn't be a car in Yokohama!"

"Frizz!" I snapped. "We're not in fucking Yokohama anymore!"

"Hello?" someone else asked then, their voice clear and beautiful. "Who's there?"

Then the most gorgeous man I had ever seen stepped out from behind a tree, and his bright gold eyes locked with mine. His hair was bronze, his skin exceptionally pale, and his clothes were…old fashioned.

"Hello…?" he asked again, and it was then that I realized he was speaking in English.

"Hello," I said, feeling odd and out of place. I was so used to speaking Japanese, even though I had done very well in my English class.

The strange, beautiful man took a step closer to me. "Who are you…?"

"Frizz Mizuno," Frizz blurted out. "Frizz Mizuno and Aya Fuse."

I repressed a sigh. Frizz had decided to not leave Radical Honesty, so he was still forced to blurt out the truth whenever he was asked a question.

The man looked over at Frizz with a confused expression on his face, then back at me. "Alright, well, my name is Edward Cullen." He held out his hand, and I just stared at him.

What did he want me to do with his hand…?

Should I…touch him? Or stroke his hand? Kiss it?

"Aya?" he asked. "I am pronouncing it right, aren't I?"

I slowly nodded. "Yes…there is really no other way to say it…"

Edward smiled, and pulled his hand back. "Of course. It is a very lovely name."

"Aya is my girlfriend," Frizz said randomly, and I guessed that he was feeling jealous and felt the need to tell the truth. Awesome.

"Oh." Edward's smile suddenly wasn't as big. "Well that's very nice. I hope you guys are happy together."

"Yes. We are." Frizz put his arm around my waist, and it seemed like he had completely forgotten about our biggest problem.

I had to bring it back up. "So where are we…?"

Edward looked confused again. "Forks, Washington?"

Washington? "I have no idea where that is."

"You don't?"

I shook my head.

"What year do you guys think it is?" Edward's gold eyes locked with mine again, and for a second I was too dazzled to answer.

I swallowed, then blinked a couple times. "It…it's 4043, right?"

Both of Edward's eyebrows shot up in surprise, then they lowered a second later. "It's not 4043. It's 2010."

My eyes widened. "No. It can't be. Time machines don't actually work."

"I told you it would work…" Frizz muttered, and I fought the urge to kick him.

Edward coughed a little, bringing our attention back to him. "That is a time machine?"

Before I could say anything, Frizz was blurting out, "Yes, I got it from Aya's older brother, Hiro."

Hiro? Why the hell would Hiro have a fucking time machine?

Edward's gold eyes looked back and forth between Frizz and I, then they settled on Frizz. "You got a time machine and set it to 2010? Why?"

"I wanted to go back in time," Frizz said quietly, and his arm tightened around me.

Edward's eyes suddenly got cold and hard. "So it's just a coincidence that someone else supposedly from the year 4043 arrived at our house a week ago?"

"Who?" I asked. "Maybe we know them?"

Edward looked at me, his eyes softening a bit. "David."

"You mean Tally Youngblood's David?" The whole mission with Tally had only been three years ago, and I could still remember David's imperfect features, since he was still an Ugly.

"I believe so, yes." Anything threatening about Edward had disappeared, and I hoped that was because he trusted us. "I guess it just must be a strange coincidence then."

Frizz nodded quickly. "Yes. I promise we will not harm you in any way."

"He can't lie," I said. "So whenever he says something, you know he's telling the truth."

"I'm part of Radical Honesty," Frizz explained. "Nobody in the group can lie. I am their…leader."

Edward just nodded slowly, processing everything we'd just told him. "Right…so…do you guys wanna come back to my family's house? Or do you just wanna go back to 4043?"

I looked over at Frizz, waiting for him to answer. I, personally, wanted to stay. If this man was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen, I could only imagine what the rest of his family looked like.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Edward smirk a little, but when I turned to look at him, he was staring at Frizz with a straight face.

"I would like to stay for a little," Frizz finally decided. "What about you, Aya-chan?"

I smiled. "I would also like to stay."

Edward didn't seem to mind us wanting to stay. "Excellent. You guys can just follow me." He started walking toward the giant house, and Frizz and I followed him.

It was weird walking through a forest, considering I've only ever read about them. It was also odd that there was a house in the middle of a forest.

When we reached the house, it somehow became even more magnificent. I could actually see the furniture inside of it through the windows, and it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before.

Edward opened the door and walked inside, and Frizz and I slowly followed him, taking it all in.

The first thing I noticed when inside the house was three other people, lounging on a sofa in front of what I believed to be a TV.

"Hey, guys," Edward called, and everyone in the room turned to look at him.

I felt my jaw hit the floor.

They were all beautiful! Gorgeous! Angelic, even!

The first man I noticed had honey blond hair, that went to just above his shoulders. His eyes were almost the same shade of gold as Edward's, maybe a little darker. The second man had curly brown hair, so dark it was almost black. He was extremely muscular, and even though he was sitting, I could tell he was very tall. His eyes were the same gold color as Edward and the blond man's, but that was the only way you could tell they were related, besides their pale skin color. The third person sitting on the sofa was a small girl, her black hair short and spiky, almost making her look like a pixie. Her skin was pale, and her eyes were gold, but a different shade of gold than the others.

The girl stood up and walked over to us, though it looked more like a dance.

"Hello!" she chirped, her voice high, like ringing bells. "My name is Alice." She, like Edward, held her hand out, and I, again, just stared at it.

What was with these people and hands?

Alice, noticing that I was not going to touch her hand, pulled it back. "Oh, are you guys from the future too? David told us they don't shake hands in the future."

"Um, yeah, we're from the future," I mumbled. "My name is Aya, and this is Frizz."

"Frizz! What a neat name!" She pulled Frizz into her arms for a hug, and I looked over at Edward. He was just staring at Alice, the confused expression on his face comical.

Alice let go of Frizz, and his expression definitely beat Edward's. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was hanging open in surprise.

Alice turned to me next. "Aya is a beautiful name. I've never heard it before."

"It's Japanese," I said quickly, not wanting her to hug me. "So is Frizz."

"Maybe future Japan," the blond man muttered, walking over to us. "My name is Jasper."

"And I'm Emmett!" the other man called, not looking away from the TV. "Damn, Jazz, I owe you fifty bucks now…"

"Sorry about his rudeness," Jasper said, loud enough that Emmett would be sure to hear him. "He's watching the football game."

Wow. Football. I read about that in Rusty class. "It's fine…I guess…"

"Where's Rose?" Edward asked. "Before I left to go hunting she was with you guys."

"She made a bet with Em and lost," Jasper answered.

"Now she's in Ice Queen mode," Emmett added. "Not fun for me."

Edward chuckled, then looked over at me and Frizz. "Would you guys like to go upstairs and relax? Or talk to David?"

I was about to shrug and say "I don't know" but Frizz suddenly blurted out, "I'm starving!"

Oh god…Frizz was going to totally embarrass me in front of these beautiful people…
