If you have any ideas for questions at the end of chapters, please let me know. I can only make so many good ones!
So, no one thinks Alice could win in a fight against Edward? Most of you said it would be a tie; the rest said Edward would win. Well, the winning answer is from Queen of Cuetys with It would be a stalemate. Neither one could win. Edward would know every move Alice thought about and Alice would see every move he would make, and then he would see what she saw and it would be an endless standstill like the chess game. Chapter four is dedicated to you! A lot of people gave great answers though!
And now, here's Leaving Forks. Enjoy!

The next few weeks went pretty quickly. I knew that soon, I'd have to start packing to "go to college". Because the wedding's around Christmas, Edward, Alice, and I have to pretend to go to college for a couple of months before it comes. Our plan is to go live in North Dakota until we can return to Forks. Then, we'll go to Antarctica, and Edward will…bite me. Alice wants to come, too. I'm pretty sure it's mainly to make sure Edward will be all right; she's been having a lot of visions about him lately, and after the vision, she generally looks worried. Edward and Alice both assure me it's nothing, but I can't help wondering if he's going to back down, suck out the poison like he did after James bit me, or what's going to happen.

Bella, Alice, and I are done loading the car with all of our college supplies. Bella is on the phone with her mom who is telling Bella to have a safe flight and that she loves her for the two hundredth time. Charlie is driving Bella in his cruiser while Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and I, as well as all of our bags, are going in Carlisle's car. Jasper is holding Alice while Emmett and Rosalie are checking the car's engine; Rosalie must be more upset than she's letting on. I look over to see Bella wipe away a couple of tears as she hangs up with her mother.
"What's wrong, Bella?" I ask, worried.
"Nothing. It's just- I just realized that I'll get to see my mom at the wedding and then most likely never again," she answered with a fresh set of tears running down her flushed face.
I hold her until I hear her father's police cruiser turn off into our three-mile long driveway. I warn Bella so she can pull herself together and remind my family that we'll see them in a few months and that they'll see Alice a couple of times between now and the wedding so she can make arrangements. Bella and I are going to come back to Forks a couple weeks before any human expects us and hide out here to help with the final details.
Despite my attempts, Esme runs over to Bella and me to envelop us both in a bone-crushing hug. I put my body behind Bella so I can at least try to protect her from my mother's arms.
"I can't believe you're leaving!" Esme dry sobs as I try to keep her arms from crushing my beloved.
""Mmished onmy fmor a coumple weems," Bella tries to say attempting to comfort Esme though she is so tightly clutched to Esme's chest that it comes out like mush.
"It's only for a couple weeks," I translate, watching Bella to make sure she is getting enough air in Esme's death grip. "Besides, Alice and I have gone off to college before, even if we aren't exactly going off to college this time."
"You're right. But now I have to give up Bella, too!" she wails. "All my babies gone; my nest is empty!"
I can see Alice rolling her eyes and smiling at Esme's dramatics. Charlie is pulling in now. He is hoping that he won't be expected to act like Esme when he says goodbye to Bella.
After prying Bella loose of Esme, followed by a soft kiss, I escort Bella to her dad's car and help her in.
Not the most interesting chapter, I know. But I wanted to put it in anyway. So, there!
By the way, Edward goes behind Bella to stop Esme from crushing her so he can control Esme's arms. I just thought I should explain that in case anyone got confused. Here's question 4!
Question 4: How long do you think Edward will try to procrastinate so as not to change Bella?
