Chapter Four:

"Flight 226, Chile to Port Angeles, Washington, first class passengers now boarding," (A/N: I'm not sure if airplanes go from Chile to P.A. but this is my story!) A voice with a thick accent came through over the intercom.

"God? Is that you?" Emmett asked looking at the ceiling. We looked all looked at him but decided to do nothing about it. It just wasn't worth it. So we got up and went to stand in line. "Hey! Wait for me!"

We got to the airport about an hour and a half ago. And in that hour and a half I have had fourteen close encounters with water. All of which were not pleasant. The latest was about ten minutes ago when we were sitting in the waiting area to board the plane. There was a creepy dude sitting next to me who fell a sleep with an open water bottle in his hands. The water bottle was tilting slowly and Edward pulled me into his lap right before the water spilled out onto the seat. You never really know how much water is involved in your day until you have to fear it.

I was now sitting in my first class seat next to Edward who was trying to get me to go to sleep. I didn't want to sleep. I had to many questions about my mermaidness on my mind to sleep.

"Bella, it's almost eleven o' clock and we have a five hour plane ride. If you don't sleep your going to give your self a headache."

"Fine, I'll sleep, but first I have to get these questions out," I reasoned with him.

"Okay, what question?"

"First: How in the world am I supposed to dodge water in public in the rainy town of Forks, Washington?" I asked. He chuckled.

"That's a good one. I suppose vampire speed will come in handy, won't it." He helped me put on my seatbelt while he answered. We were about to take off.

"It sure will. But you can't run off with me if I get wet in the cafeteria."

"Well, we'll think of something. Tomorrow is Saturday so we'll have time to think," He said and laced his fingers through mine. "What else do you have?"

"Do you think there are other mermaids. Like real, full time mermaids?"

"That would be a question for Carlisle when he gets his hands on that book," he answered. I laughed.

"Yeah, he's really excited about that," I said.

"That book contains good information that we could really use right now. Maybe it will answer some of your questions," I heard from Carlisle behind me. I giggled and Edward flashed me that crooked smile of his.

"See? I think all your answers are at home. Why don't you try to get some sleep," He said. But I had a question that I knew wasn't in that book.

"I'm pretty sure this answer isn't in your book. Humans aren't supposed to know about vampires existing. Since I'm no longer fully human, does that still apply to me? Jacob is only half human. It's not bad if he knows." I looked at Edward and he had question and wonder and… worry? written all over face.

"That is an excellent question Bella! It's true. She is now part of the mythical world. It's okay if other mythical creatures know…" Carlisle kept rambling on to himself while Edward and I just stared at each other. Finally, Edward spoke.

"I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see," He said.

I heard a 'ding' go off and I looked up. Oh good, we ca-

"HOLY CRAP!" Emmet shot up from his seat and hit his head on the ceiling. "What was that!"

"Emmet you idiot! That was the 'it's okay to take off your seatbelt signal!" Rose yelled at him. Alice, Jasper, Edward and I were all laughing our heads off.

"Well it's a good thing I don't need mine, 'cause this one is broken now." He held up a detached, frayed seat belt. This made us laugh harder. When Jasper finally calmed down he spoke.

"Hey Emmet, is 'holy crap', like, your catchphrase now? I have heard that come out of your mouth much more that necessary in the past 24 hours."

"COOL! I have a catchphrase! I'm like a super hero!" Emmet stood in the isle making odd and some suggestive poses.

"Ya, 'Crappy Man'" I said under my breath. Alice started giggling and Rosalie snorted at my comment.

I let out a huge a yawn. I then unbuckled myself and put up the arm rest. I climbed in Edwards lap getting comfy for sleep.

In my dream, I was swimming through the ocean with Edward at my side. We swam through little mermaid villages. Mermaid life was all around. We went out to the coral reefs and admired all the colorful fish and undersea plants.

"Bella, wake up," Edward said in my dream.

"I'm not asleep," I told him. He chuckled.

"Yes you are Bella. But you need to wake up. We've landed."

The next thing I saw was the plane ceiling. That's kind of a downer from my last view.

"Come on, love. It's time to get off the plane," Edward helped me up a kept a firm arm around my waist to prevent my self from falling. I was still half a sleep.

All of a sudden I was in Edward's Volvo.

"Edward?" I said, still groggy from sleep.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty."

"Actually Edward, the correct Disney princess would be the Little Mermaid." I heard a soprano voice from the back seat and saw Alice, Jasper, and a multitude of bags when I turned. "Hi Bella!"

"Hi. What time is it?" I asked.

"It's 4:20 am. You can go back to sleep. We still have a 45 minute drive to Charlie's." Edward answered.

I gladly let sleep over take me again.

...

"Bella! Wake up!" Ugh would these stupid people stop waking me up?

"Alice! Not so loud!" I heard another voice quietly hiss.

"But Edward, we are trying to wake her up. We need volume."

"Yes, but gently. Bella, We're back at Charlie's, time to wake up," oh, that was Edward. I groaned but opened my eyes.

"Hi," I whispered. Edward chuckled and helped me out of the car.

Edward grabbed my suitcase and walked me up to the house. I saw the door open and Charlie step out side.

"Hey guys! Welcome back!" He hugged me but I was to tired to hug back. I heard Edward chuckle. "Did you guys have fun?"

"Yeah. Hurry up. The faster we get all this stuff up the faster I can get back to sleep," I demanded.

They both laughed. Charlie grabbed my suitcase and Edward picked me up to carry me to my room, earning a scowl from Charlie. When we were in my bedroom Edward kissed me goodbye *que growl from dad* then turned around to go back to his house.

"So, what did you do at this island?" Charlie asked. Well I found this magical necklace that has some how made me turn into a mermaid whenever I touch water. I also have water powers. I'm not sure that would go over so well.

"Stuff."

"What kind of stuff?" Why is he still talking to me. I'm about to pass out from exhaustion.

"Dad, can we do this in the morning, I'm really tired."

"Yeah, sure. G'night" he said and left my room. I put my pajamas on and fell asleep for the fourth time that night.

this isn't one of my favorites... but she needed to get those questions in.

peace, love, Twilight,
katie!
