After about an hour, thanks to the Cullen's crazy driving, we passed the sign that read 'Welcome To California – The Sunshine Sate'. Wait. What?

"Edward?"

"Yes?" he answered.

"If am not mistaken, California is not the sunshine state."

"Yeah, we wonder about that every time we come down this way. No one knows what happened." Alice said.

"Mmmm." I said.

Before I knew it we were there. We pulled into a gravel parking lot at a dock. What confused me wasn't the dock, but what was tied to it.

"We're here!" Alice shouted rather loudly.

"What's this?" I asked, very confused.

"Well, you know how we said that we were going to the beach for the weekend? In order to reach the beach that we were planning to go to we have to ride this yacht to get to our private island." He said motioning to the yacht while he talked.

"Wait wait wait. You own this?" I said, purposely nodding toward the monster boat.

"Yep. And the private island." Esme said, suddenly right beside me. "You're going to love it!"

"I'm sure." I said under my breath.

As I explored the boat I decided that 'yacht' wasn't the right term to use for the vehicle. 'Cruise Ship' was more like it. It had 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room with a flat screen T.V and a full gaming system, an upper deck, a lower deck, a hot tub the size of a small swimming pool and that wasn't even all of it! Then I heard the craft roar to life and it started to move. Of course, I was thrown off balance by the sudden movement and slipped on the wet deck. Just as the floor was probably two inches from my face, Edward caught me.

"That was close. Sorry." He chuckled in my ear.

"What are you sorry about?"

"I should have seen that one coming. I would have held on to you tighter." He said.

"OK EVERYONE! TIME TO GET IN THE HOT TUB!!" Alice screamed. I swear, sometimes it is like she is on a mega phone. Then, everyone, including Esme and Carlisle, started running towards the pool–sized hot tub, throwing off their cover-ups as they ran. I stood there, shocked for a few seconds before jogging over myself. When I reached the edge, I noticed the temperature on the little screen.

"Edward?" I asked, a little hesitant.

"Yes?"

"I don't think I should get in."

"Why?" he asked.

"Well, being as the thermometer say that the water is 150 degrees F… that might be nice for you but I think it would kinda burn my skin off." I answered.

"Silly Bella. With six vampires that's skin is so cold it could practically turn water into ice, it should feel about 104 degrees to you." He explained.

"Oh. Right." I said before jumping in myself. After we swam for a few minutes, Alice decided to bring out the volleyball net.

"Ok. Now it's time to play some volleyball!" Alice said in an over-excited way. "The teams won't be even so Esme has so generously decided not to play. So it will be Emmett, Jasper, Me, and Bella-"

"Wait, Alice. I don't want to play. I'm not good at sports out of water let alone in a hot tub so I think Esme should play instead." I said.

"Are you sure sweetie?" Esme said.

"Of course. You should play. I will just keep score over here." I said motioning to the side in between the two sides. After about an hour or so of swimming something dawned on me.

"OH MY GOD! YOU GUYS WHO IS DRIVING THE BOAT!?" I practically screamed.

"Crap. I will be back shortly," Carlisle said.

"So much for volleyball." Rosalie muttered.

Hey guys!! Second chapter is up! I hope you liked it. Review please. It makes me feel good to hear what everyone thinks.
