A/N: Wow. I kinda hate this story, and how it started. But whatevs. I HEART EDWARD! HE'S SCHMEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if he is a butthead! (heh heh. Sorry, I'm just re-reading "New Moon" now. I finished "Eclipse" and now I'm super-psyched for the next book! "Breaking Dawn" or something like that, right?)

"Bella," Edward began, his voice strained. "You are a vampire now, aren't you?"

"Yeah," I said, keeping my eyes on the road.

"And you know everything that comes with that, right?"

"Yeah," I mumbled.

"Then why, why are you driving so maddeningly slow?" Edward howled. "Speed up!"

"Edward," I scolded. "I'm going seventy miles an hour. That's not slow."

"Anything under a hundred is slow," Edward mumbled.

"Well," I said, loudly, "I am the daughter of Police Chief Swan. Obeying the law had been pounded into my head ever since I was born."

"And?"

"And that includes the speed limit."

"Bella, I break the speed limit when I run. Driving should be faster than running."

"Yeah, but not your running."

"Pull over. I want to drive."

"No. I want to make it to your house alive."

Edward sighed, obviously frustrated. "Please?" he asked, doing that unfair smoldering thing again.

"No," I said, but my voice wavered. Look away, I reminded myself. Right. See? All better.

He sighed, leaning against the leather seat. "That won't work anymore, huh?"

"No," I said again. "I can kinda get that, too. And, I see your thoughts. Now, be quiet. I want to get to your house in one piece, and I think you do too. So, don't bug me."

"Is that a threat?" he asked, puffing himself up.

"Yes," I said back. "I'm just like you now."

"Only, you got turned a year later."

"Well, you aged for three thousand years." I scowled at him, trying not to laugh. "I think I'm younger."

"Immortality is overrated," he said, suddenly serious. "You'll see."

"It doesn't suck yet," I told him.

"Well, you've been immortal for about two months. It hasn't had a chance to suck yet."

"Ohhhh," I said sarcastically. "So I should just sit around and wait for immortality to suck? Mmmm…that could take a while."

Edward rolled his eyes and did his best not to roll his eyes. "Whatever," he said. "Just you wait. By your thousandth birthday, you'll get what I mean."

"I doubt it," I told him as we pulled into the driveway at his house. "Well? We're here. Or did you want to complain about my driving?"

He grunted, but gamely complained, "You're so slow. We could be inside already, if you'd let me drive."

"If I'd let you drive, I'd be melted into my seat," I told him. I still hadn't forgotten my human days (two months ago!), when I'd used to let Edward drive. I'd always been afraid, thinking that surely the car was going to hit something-or someone- and we'd all be doomed. Oh, what a position that would have put poor Charlie in!

"Wimp," he teased. "And Charlie wouldn't have been involved, you know. If we'd crashed."

"Of course not," I agreed, trying to be nice. "Because the police chief so wouldn't be called on if some psycho speeder crashed of to the side of the road, and especially not if it was his daughter in the crash."

He grinned at me as we pulled into the path that led to his house. "Of course…"

I smiled at him as the car stopped, before I said, "Race ya to the door."

"HEY!" I shouted in the split second it took him to launch himself out of the car. "CHEATER!"

"Explain that," he called.

"I…uh, I didn't say 'go' yet," I told him, and my excuse sounded lame even to my ears.

"Okay," Edward told me, suddenly right next to me again. "Here. Say go, and then we'll race."

"I said it already!" I shouted at him, and laughed.

"Cheater!"

"Yeah, so?"

0000000

"Bella!" Alice greeted me with a smile and a hug, as usual.

"Hey," Emmet and Jasper called. They seemed deeply involved in a video game. Both were navigating their characters on the screen, shooting mercilessly once they found each other.

"Hey, morons, you're on the same team," Edward said, rolling his eyes.

"Hi, Bella," Carlisle and Esme greeted me.

Rosalie rolled her eyes and said nothing.

With my newfound powers, I was able to see that she was thinking, Oh, what have I done? Now she'll be here forever! Oh, GOD…

I smirked, only slightly offended. "I love your family," I said turning to Edward.

He smiled. "Yeah?"

"Oh, definitely. They're so nice to me," I continued.

He laughed. "Well, they have a reason."

"You'll rip them to shreds if they don't like me?" I guessed, smiling.

"No." Edward laughed a little. "You're just very likeable."

"Hey, Edward, am I going to get to go hunting with you? I always wanted to see that…"

Edward paused. "I guess so. I mean, you don't smell so appetizing anymore –sorry, no offense- so I guess you can."

I grinned. "Sweet! When's the next trip?"

"Tonight." Edward laughed at my expression. "Wow, eager, huh?"

"Yeah. I can't wait for this."

"What? No. No, no, no. She cannot come with us, she's-" Rosalie started complaining. Her eyes flashed, and her long blonde hair fell in front of her eyes darkly, hiding her expression from me.

"She's a vampire too, now," Carlisle cut in. He gave Rosalie a stern look. "Because of you, if I may point out. So don't you go trying to exclude her, because she's immortal because you turned her. Besides, Bella is a very nice girl."

Esme smiled at me. I grinned back.

"No kidding," Edward whispered in my ear. I tried not to laugh. Then, he spoke louder. "So, tonight. I'll pick you up?"

"Sure. Can't wait."
