Carlisle walked to the base of the stairs and called up, to me, "Madison, come on downstairs. We're going to have a family meeting." "Coming," I called back. I pulled my hair back over my face and raced down the stairs. "Here I am, Daddy," I said. "Hi, Momma," I said, waving to Esme as she walked in the front door, followed by Bella, Edward, Nessie, Jacob, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. Then Seth came in and I waved to him. I ran over to him and hugged him and said, "Hiya, Seth." "Hey, Madison," he replied. Only Alistair could call me Tiffany. Then Embry and Quil and they stood a few feet away. Leah came in last, and I cringed away from her, fearing she'd lose her temper again.

"So, Daddy, what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing," Carlisle said, a little too evenly. I already knew we'd be moving eventually, and I didn't know when. "Then what is it?" Bella asked, looking at Edward, who was shrugging—he didn't know either. I turned to Alice—my 'twin'—who also shrugged—now I was worried. Carlisle looked at Esme and as she began to say our full names, we got a little more worried, thinking that we were in trouble, "Madison Tiffany-Crystal Cullen, Mary Alice Brandon Cullen, Jasper Whitlock Hale Cullen, Rosalie Hale Cullen, Emmett McCarthy Cullen, Edward Masen Cullen, Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, Jacob Black, Seth Clearwater, Leah Clearwater, and Embry Call Carlisle and I think it might be for the best if you go to college." We all stared at each other and I asked, "Where?" Esme sighed and said, "We're moving to Munchkinland next week—we've already registered our kids—you, Madison, Seth, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Renesmee and Jacob. Leah, you, and Embry will have to decide what you want to do, but if you decide you want to go to Shiz with the kids, you can—we did fill out the forms for the two of you. Quil, we're going to let you remain here in Forks to stay close to Claire." He nodded and Leah said, "We'll go too." Then Carlisle looked at all of us and said, "You can all go now."

We all leapt up and wandered outside. I sat down on the porch steps and Alice joined me. "Hey, Alice," I said. "Hey, Madison," she replied. "Can I ask you a question?" I asked slowly. "About the future?" She nodded slowly. "Can you—do you—see me meeting my sister, my sisters." I said quickly. Alice sighed and said, "I'll need to check," and then turning to me, said, "Yes, I do. You'll meet your sisters when we reach Shiz in a few days." I nodded eagerly.
