Hey again! Wow, thanks everyone so much for all the reviews!
Jenni78 - lol, ok, i'll see what I can do with Jacob. As for Edward, well, I get what youre saying, but I also think he'd be really over protective of Nessie... I don't like him being an ass much either... but please keep reading, it gets better I promise!
kittykatslove - lol, thanks!!! Jacob and Rosalie are fun to play around with!
vanessa, geneva8403, mhm, Millz, harrysgirl, and maximaxiride - thank you guys so much for reviewing, I'm glad you guys enjoyed it!
Ok, the only other note I wanted to make was about updating... my plan was to update a minimum of twice a week. I've got a few chapters ahead written, so there's a little room for errors but I figure I'll post a chaper everytime I write a new one. Again, it'll be at least every Sunday and Wednesday.
Hope you enjoy this one! Please leave a review!

The week before school went by quickly. I had spent most of it training with Emmett and Jacob, or visiting with my Mom and Dad. The first morning after Jasper and Alice left I spent talking to Dad, telling and showing him that it was something I wanted to do. I didn't want to be a burden to them, and I really didn't want to have to always rely on them. It took a while, but he finally said he could understand that. I promised him that I wouldn't push myself to hard, and that I wouldn't forget about him or Mom. He laughed, knowing that was something I would never do. We ended up playing the piano together for hours, something we both loved to do.
Training was both more exciting, and more difficult. I realized that Jasper had been holding back on me. Either that or Emmett was just rougher. Having Jacob there, though, was fun. We'd team up against Emmett, who just enjoyed the challenge.
A few days into our training, Emmett and I were sparring while Jacob was in his wolf form watching on the sidelines. I was chasing after Emmett, carrying my weapon of choice (a crowbar of all things), but couldn't catch up. I was about to give up when I noticed Jacob running beside me, one of his goofy wolf smiles on his face. I touched my hand to his shoulder, sending a memory of me riding him when I was smaller, and he nodded his head excitedly. It seemed he had had the same idea. He slouched a little as we ran and I threw myself onto his back. It wasn't graceful by any means, but it worked. Jacob poured on the speed, and before we knew it we were behind Emmett. The shock was evident on Emmett's face as he saw us approach, but before he could react I swung my make shift bat as hard as I could, catching him in the shoulder and sending him flying into a tree. Between what strength I had, and the speed we were going, Emmett soared further than I'd ever seen even Jasper throw him. Jacob slowed, and turned back towards the destroyed plant as Emmett pulled himself up, swearing the entire time.
"What the hell was that?" Emmett screamed, using his left hand to pull his right shoulder back into joint. There was a loud 'pop' as it settled back into place, and I grimaced at the noise.
"Sorry," I said, sliding off Jacob's back as he ran into the forest to phase back. "I wasn't expecting that to… well, work as well as it did."
"What are you talking about?" Emmett yelled, smiling excitedly, "That was awesome! You've never been able to hit me nearly that hard! Or catch up to me for that matter!"
We had spent the next few minutes trying to find me a new weapon, because the crowbar I had been using was pretty much destroyed. The rest of the afternoon I spent on Jacob's back, using Emmett as a punching bag.
Emmett never got tired of it.
He did get tired of getting his ass kicked though. He couldn't beat us. Jacob wasn't even helping me anymore.
I, personally, loved it.
Jasper came home a few days before we were to start school. He still wouldn't let me know what was going on, but he and Dad had locked themselves in the garage most afternoons since then. The only thing they would tell me was that it would take a while before it would be ready. Alice had even spent a few afternoons in there, but she wouldn't tell me anything other than that I'd love it. Jacob spent all day in there once, two days before we were to start school, and when he came out, he was livid and locked himself in his place for the night. Dad said he'd be fine, but all I had heard from the garage all day was howling.
The day before school started Jacob was back to himself, but wouldn't tell me what had happened in there. We spent the afternoon in my room; me trying to get organized, and Jacob lounging on my bed. He laughed at the way I was freaking out. But I was nervous, regardless of what everyone else said about it. Alice came in at one point to pick out my outfit; I wasn't going to argue with her, she'd done this more than once. Mom finally threw Alice and Jacob out so that I could get some sleep. Not that I did though.
Mom had woken me up this morning pretty early, knowing I'd spend most of it running around trying to get ready. Jacob came up a little later (dressed nicely, I might add: blue jeans and a long sleeve dark red polo. Alice must have picked it up for him) and had dragged me downstairs where the two of us were now eating breakfast.
"Eat up kiddo," Jacob mumbled between bites, "Trust me, it'll make you feel better."
I doubted that, but did it anyways.
Mom, Dad, and the others came down a few minutes later, and we all headed into the garage. Dad, Mom, Emmett, and Rosalie headed for Dad's Volvo, while Alice and Jasper went to my Jetta. It made sense, I guess, they were the only 'inconspicuous' cars we owned. Jacob and I followed, and I threw my keys to him. He smiled, knowing Dad hated it when I let him drive my car.
"We'll see you guys there." Dad called, revving the engine of the Volvo before heading down the driveway.
Jacob smirked at me, "Should I?" he asked.
Jasper laughed, "You'll never beat him."
We both smirked, knowing that I had let Jacob play with my car as soon as I had gotten it. After he was done, he said that it was as fast as Alice's Porsche.
Alice smiled from the back seat. "Edward's gonna be pissed when he gets there."
With that, Jacob flew out of the garage to catch up with Dad.
Jacob passed him a mile before we got to school, and Dad never did catch up.
