The night of the big game against the Spartans brought a huge turn out of fans. Most likely everyone in the small town of Forks was there to cheer on the Hornets. The football team had decided to wait until the night of the game to pull their big prank. They knew that the Spartans wouldn't have the slightest idea that tonight was going to be the BIG night. The coach was in the locker room trying to get the team excited about the big game, and with all of the guys screaming, hollering, and growling he thought he had succeeded. He had no idea the guys were more excited about the prank.
The coach left the locker room to head out to meet the coach of the Spartans, when the guys put their plan into action. They quickly grabbed their supplies had headed to the parking lot where the Spartans bus was parked. They quickly put everything together, and laughed at the site of what they had accomplished. They new the Spartans would be pissed and that there was a real chance they could get into some serious trouble for what they did. But they didn't care; it was their senior year, what was going to happen?
As the game began, Edward ran over to Bella and gave her a deep passionate kiss on the lips, and twirled her around in his arms. This had been their personal tradition before every game, and Edward wouldn't let this game begin without that. He knew Bella had been worried about his weird behavior, so he was trying everything in his power to get her mind off of her worries. It looked like it worked. She had that same beautiful grin on her face, and her eyes lit up as they sparkled from all of the lights. Grinning, she told him "Good luck, babe". "I love you Bella Swan forever and always" Edward grinned from ear to ear.
It was no surprise that the Hornets beat the Spartans by 27 to 0. The Spartans never had a shot in hell to win that game. The best and the brightest seniors were on the Hornet's football team, and they would not let the Spartans ruin that for them. The guys ran over to the parking lot to watch as the Spartans faces as they seen what the Hornets had done to their transportation.
The Spartans were completely shocked, and completely pissed. They were hollering "what the heck is going on, when did they have time to pull this one off" Edward yelled across the lot "well if we knew you guys felt that way, maybe we would have given you the time of day" winking over at Jacob, the quarterback for the Spartans. Behind them, spray painted in red on their bus was the words, We love the Hornets, we wished they were playing for our team. Jacob snarled up "you just wait, this isn't over". Edward was sure it wasn't but he didn't care. By far this was the greatest prank of all time, and nothing was ever going to beat that. He grinned as he thought about the Spartans having to drive home in a yellow bus that claimed they were gay.
They ran back to the locker rooms, and quickly changed. They had plans to go to the beach with the girls and didn't want to keep the girls waiting. As they were running towards their cars, they could see the girls waiting anxiously for them. The coach walked out in front of them, and stopped Edward. "Can I have a word with you, Edward" He said, obviously peeved about what the guys had did. "Um, sure what's up coach?" Edward trying not to grin, and be serious. He knew it was only a matter of time before he got in trouble for the prank.
"Edward, I know that you and the Spartans have issues, and that you are always playing pranks when it comes time for you two to play against each other, but this one went a little bit to far" coach said sternly. Edward was about to speak again when the coach put up his hand and said "No, do not make excuses, this was uncalled for Edward. You and the team are going to have to find away to pay for the damages you did to the bus." He said as he started to walk away. Edward was shocked that the coach didn't go any further, and he wasn't worried about having to pay for the damages, after all he wasn't poor by any means.
"Edward Masen Cullen" Bella screamed as she ran up to him, hitting him on the shoulder. Oh great, he thought, now he was going to have to hear about it from Bella.
"You are absolutely hilarious, Edward, how did you guys pull that one off", She grinned from ear to ear. Edward smiled back at her, relieved that she wouldn't give him a hard time. She was always his biggest fan in everything that he did, why would he worry that she would be mad.
"Bella, love, why are you so wonderful to me, I don't know how I ever deserved you", He said looking into her beautiful eyes as he pulled her into a warm embrace.
"I don't know, I guess I was having a lapse in judgment when I said yes the first time you asked me out on a real date" she said as she thought about the happiest day of her life. The day Edward finally asked her out brought her so much joy, she couldn't believe it. She honestly thought he only seen her as one of the guys.
"Love, let's get going to the beach. I love watching you in the moonlight". He said sweeping his lips across hers. She giggled, and turned to walk towards his car with her fingers intertwined with his. When they arrived at the beach, everyone else was there. They already had the bonfire already going.
Bella ran over to Rosie and Alice and started chatting with them. Edward stayed back a little and just watched in amazement in how she had this beautiful glow. He couldn't believe that in less than twenty four hours she would officially be his fiancée. His thoughts went back to a week ago when he was over at Bella's house with her parents. Bella had gone out with Alice and Rosie, and this was his chance to have a heart to heart with her parents. He was completely nervous because he knew that it would take a lot of convincing to get them to allow them to marry before college. He knew that they approved of their relationship and was happy that they had finally decided to date, but this was definitely going to test their trust in Edward. He was shocked at how well the conversation and went. Bella's mom Renee was grinning from ear to ear when she said 'oh my, Edward, you really are going to be my son in law". Charlie was a little less excited at first, but after Edward explained how much he loved Bella and couldn't be apart from her even if it only meant separate dorms. Bella was very accident prone, and he wanted to be there to protect her at all times, although that wasn't his only motivation. He knew that he would never love another; Bella was it for him, his best friend, his love, and his soul mate. He didn't want to wait for her to be his wife and for them to start their lives together. Charlie finally consented, and gave Edward his seal of approval.
"Um, earth to Edward, are you in there" Jasper said in a worried tone. Edward snapped out of it and looked at Jasper. "Oh, hey man, how's it going". Edward said.
"We were just wondering if you were planning on joining us sometime this evening" Jasper giggled as he patted Edward on the shoulder before pulling him over the bonfire.
The rest of the night was a blur to Edward. It was a typical night at the beach. Alice and Jasper were always the first to leave, because Alice always preferred to be alone with Jasper. Rosie and Emmett left next, only because Rosie demanded on getting her beauty rest so she could be most beautiful Juliet at the Halloween party the next night. Bella just sat down on the sand, and stared up at the moon. Edward sat down next to her and pulled her back to lay with him. "Bella, love, don't you think we should be heading home. It's getting late, and I have a feeling it's going to start raining soon". Bella looked up at him and sat up. But before Edward could sit up, she rolled on top of his and straddled his legs. "Edward, I love you so much, I wish we never had to go home" she said. He looked into her beautiful eyes, almost tempted to ask her for her hand in marriage tonight, but restrained because he knew Halloween night was the perfect night for that question. He sat up resting on his elbows. He leaned into her and kissed her passionately. "Love, no worries we will be like this forever soon enough". She kissed him harder, and then got up. She offered her arm to him to help him up and he took it.
In the car on the way home, they stared silently out the windows. The only touching was their fingers intertwined in his lap. As he pulled up to Bella's house, he parked the car and turned the ignition off. He turned to her and leaned in to give her a kiss tonight. She smiled at him and leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the lips. As she turned to get out of the car, he put his hand on her shoulder and halted her movements. She turned around and gave him a look that he didn't understand. He hadn't seen that one before. "Edward, are you ok love?" Bella said. "Love, I'm fine, I just wanted to tell you that I love you". "I love you too Edward Masen Cullen…with all my heart". She through her arms around his neck and pulled him into a warm passionate kiss that seemed to last forever, even though it was only a few seconds. He nodded back at her, and with that she got out of the car and ran up to her house, before disappearing behind the door.
As he drove back to his house, he felt his phone vibrate. He looked at it and it read one new text message. He flipped his phone open to see that it was from Bella. He grinned from ear to ear when he read the message. "Edward Cullen, tomorrow is going to be the best night of both of our lives. I love you so much, sweet dreams".
Yes tomorrow was going to be the best night of both of their lives. And he was excited to know that Bella had no idea at exactly how wonderful it was going to be.
