"Don't stop, make it pop,

DJ blow my speakers up,

Tonight, I'mma fight,

Til we see the sunslight,

Tick tock, on the clock,

But the party don't stop no."

Kesha - Tik Tok

"Don't stop, make it pop DJ blow my speakers up tooonight.........." It was a few days after the bonfire, and Leah was dancing around her kitchen fixing herself some toast. She had the volume on her Mp3 turned up so loud that if Seth stood in the doorway he would be able to hear the buzz of music even without his sensitive wolf hearing. Speaking of Seth, he was over at the Cullens' house like he usually was. Sam's pack wasn't exactly happy about it, but Seth believed the Cullens were good people, and that was all that mattered to him. Besides, Leah herself had experienced first-hand Esme's amazing cooking skills. So that was why, on a sunny wednesday morning, Leah was singing along to her music while dancing between the fridge, the toaster and the cupboards in black and white cow-pattern pajamas. Sue was out at Charlie's, and she had the house to herself. Sue had left a feather duster on the kitchen table to remind Leah that she needed to dust the ornaments at some point that day, but Leah couldn't be bothered at the minute. "I'mma fight til we see the sunlight, tick tock on the clock but the party don't stop no..." The toast popped out of the toaster with a Ding! and Leah scooted over to put it on her plate.

XXXXXXX

The first thing Jake heard as he approached the Clearwaters' house was Leah singing along to "I Gotta Feeling" and the clatter of cutlery going into the sink. His curiousity got the better of him and he peeked through a window before climbing the porch steps. The window happened to give him a clear view into the kitchen, and when he saw Leah in her pajamas acting hyperactive he almost burst out laughing. Leah being hyper was so not something any of the werewolves got to see very often. He let himself in the front door and found himself in the living room. The door that led through into the kitchen was ajar, so he pushed it slowly open. Leah chose that moment to turn around with her breakfast in her hand and almost dropped it when she saw Jacob standing in the doorway.

"Shit, Jake!" she said, one hand clutching her chest. "You almost killed me there!" Jake laughed.

"Sorry, but I couldn't miss your dance routine." Instead of blushing Leah surprised herself by just sticking her tongue out.

"You're just jealous because I have cow pajamas and you don't."

"Yeah. Totally. My life is incomplete without cow pajamas." She raised her eyebrows.

"Jacob, was that sarcasm I heard there?" Jake laughed and Leah shook her head, putting her plate on the kitchen counter. "Someone really is on the road to recovery." She picked up one half of her toast and took a bite. "So, what brings you to my humble abode?" Jacob shrugged, making a grab for the other half of the toast.

"I was just wondering what you were doing today. I got nothing on my schedule."

"I was planning on a lazy day," Leah mumbled with her mouth full. "Seth's out at the Cullens' so I have free reign of the TV. Reruns of 'Friends' are on all morning."

"Sounds good," Jake said. "Mind if I join you?" Leah shook her head.

"Nope, as long as you stop nicking my breakfast." Jacob grinned.

"I'm not making any promises." With a roll of her eyes, Leah turned back to the toaster.

"And I thought Seth had an appetite."

XXXXXXX

"I don't get it."

"Don't get what?"

"Why's he dressed like that at Christmas?"

"Jake, he's the Holiday Armadillo. The costume's just like...a disguise kinda thing."

"Oh...right." They were sitting at one end of the two-seat sofa, like they'd been doing for the last hour. It was almost midday, and Leah expected that Seth would stay at the Cullens' for lunch as well as breakfast. Nevermind. She had absolutely no intention of moving from her comfy position on the sofa, laughing at Joey and Chandler and the rest of the 'Friends' gang. Okay, so maybe she'd have to move in a little while to fix herself and Jake some lunch, but that was all the moving she was gonna do. At least, that was what she planned for until the phone rang. Leah sighed as Jake chuckled. The cordless phone was in its stand on a small table behind the sofa, so Leah stretched her arm over the back of the sofa, grabbed the phone and put it to her ear while motioning to Jake to turn the volume of the TV down.

"Hello?"

"Leah?"

"Sam?" Jacob turned and looked at her. The look of surprise on her face mirrored the one on his own as they exchanged glances. "What's up?"

"Is Seth there?"

"No...he's at the Cullens' again, and before you ask, no, he doesn't have his phone with him."

"Ah. Um..in that case. Could you do me a favour?" Jacob raised an eyebrow when he heard that. Sam was asking Leah for a favour? Considering that they didn't know of her Let's-Show-The-World-The-Real-Leah-Clearwater plan, he must be feeling pretty brave. Either brave, or stupid, as Paul would have said.

"Uh..sure. What is it?" Leah smiled at her Alpha, and he smiled back. She was doing bloody great with this whole thing.

"We need to organise a meeting with the bloo - I mean, the Cullens. It's about a group of vamps that Seth said the small Cullen saw coming this way."

"Oh. And you want me to go over there and ask them to meet up with you?" Leah asked, a little distracted by the mischeivous grin forming on Jake's face.

"Well..yeah. I mean, if it's a problem or anything, I can get Embry to go, but they know you better."

"No, there's no problem. Of course I'll go - " Leah's sentence was cut off by her own shriek. Jacob had used the split second that Leah looked away to his advantage, and grabbed Sue's feather duster off the coffee table and attacked his Beta with it.

"Leah!? Are you okay!?" came Sam's concerned voice from the other end of the line, while Leah had retreated to the other end of the sofa in a failed attempt to get away.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just - JAKE! GET OFF!!!"

"What the hell?"

"Sorry, Sam, Jake's just being an ass." She screamed again as the feather duster reached her neck. "NO, NOT THERE!! JACOB!!! GET OFF ME!!!" She put out one hand to keep the feather duster at bay and pressed the phone closer to her ear with the other. "O..okay Sam, w..we'll g..go ask the C..Cullens," she managed to get out inbetween bouts of breathless laughter. "Damn it, Jake, I'M ON THE BLOODY PHONE!!!"

With that she pressed the "End Call" button and put the phone on the coffee table as Jacob finally scooted over to let her sit back up. Leah snatched the feather duster from his hands and hit him around the head with it. "What the hell was that for?" she asked, rolling her eyes but unable to hide a grin.

"Payback," Jake replied, sticking out his tongue. "For making me go to the Cullens'."

"I'm not making you go. If you don't wanna come then you can stay here." Jake shrugged.

"I have to face the music sometime, I guess. Besides, Ed-weird will be able to read my thoughts and know that I don't like Bella in that way anymore." Leah smiled.

"See? It won't be so hard. You'll get used to her....vampireness eventually, just give it time." Jacob nodded, and looked at the clock.

"What time are we leaving then?"

"Just as soon as I get changed," Leah replied, jumping off the sofa and heading for the doorway. "Be right back, one minute." For any other girl apart from Leah Clearwater, that would have translated into: 'Be right back, one hour...maybe two..." Jake remembered all too well the days when his sisters had hogged the bathroom for hours. Leah seemed to have the gift of managing to look really nice, really quickly. Shaking his head, Jacob turned his attention back to the TV, smiling. Damn, he was glad Leah didn't want to kill him anymore.

XXXXXX

"Damn it, Jake, I'M ON THE BLOODY PHONE!!!" Sam held the phone away from his ear as Leah yelled at her Alpha on the other end. There was another fit of laughter from her and the phone went dead. Still holding the phone in his hand, Sam turned to face Emily. She was standing at the kitchen sink, with a plate in one hand and a drying cloth in the other, staring at the phone.

"Did I imagine that, or was Leah really laughing?" she asked quietly, stunned. Sam nodded as he set the phone back in its cradle on the wall.

"Yeah. She was laughing."

"It really must be the end of the world."

"She's been acting really weird the last few days. Like, really strange," he continued, more to himself than Emily. "At the bonfire, she offered to play frisbee with us, and suggested we call the game a draw. And, Paul ran into her and they fell over, but she just laughed....and when Jacob threw her into the sea she got up and pushed him in...." He shook his head. "Seth thinks her mind's been reprogrammed by aliens. Something's definately happened. She's acting like...well...like the Leah she used to be." Emily nodded.

"Well, whatever it is that's happening to her, I don't care, as long as it's making her happy. She deserves it, after everything she's been through."

"Jake's been acting different too. Happier. More himself. The really scary thing is that him and Leah are getting along. And we both know that was Jake at her house just now." Emily shrugged, hiding the small smile that had formed on her lips.

"Isn't it a good thing that they're getting along? Maybe they're looking past whatever it was that made them fight all the time."

"Still...I think something's up."

Everyone in La Push and Forks knew that the Cullen family were rich. Very rich. So if you were a first-time visitor to the Cullen household, the huge manor house nestled in a clearing in a nearby forest wouldn't be too surprising. It was beautiful, in a modern way. Jacob, Leah and Seth had spent weeks at that house, taking turns patrolling the perimeter to stop any of Sam's pack from attacking Renesmee. Even though it was only days after Jake left Sam's pack and began his own that his former Alpha came to his senses, and dropped the decision to kill Bella and Edward's vampire-human hybrid child, Jake's new pack had stayed for a while. And then Alice had a vision of the Volturi coming, and they had to stay even longer. The usual sickly-sweet vampire's scent didn't hit Leah quite as hard as it had done at first. She was growing accustomed to it, and she found herself wondering if Seth even noticed the smell anymore. She was so distracted that it wasn't until she walked straight into Jake that she realised he'd stopped walking. "Jake? What's wrong." Jacob was looking worried, glancing up at the windows of the manor.

"I don't know if I can do this. Now she's a vampire, it feels like she's not Bella anymore." Leah stepped in front of him to catch his gaze.

"Jacob, listen to me. As much as I dislike Bella for what she's done to you - messed you around and then turned you into the sad hermit - she's still the same on the inside. Unfortunately. You'll be fine. You - or rather, we, can do this. Right?" She took his hand, and smiled at him. After a few seconds Jake nodded.

"Yeah. Right. Okay. Let's do this."

The front door was opened before they had even reached the porch steps. Edward stepped out, some of the sunlight catching him even where he stood under the porch roof and making him sparkle. "Jacob, Leah," he said, nodding his head curtly to the two werewolves.

"Hey, Edward," said Leah, maintaining her smile. Edward's expression didn't change, but Jake new that some part of him had to be surprised. Leah was never nice to the Cullens.

"I'm afraid you're right about that, Jacob," said Edward, smiling slightly. "What can we do for you."

"We need to speak to Carlisle, if that's okay? It's kind of important." She ran through the entire conversation with Sam in her head, and soon Edward nodded.

"Sure. Come in. Seth's upstairs with Emmett, on the XBox." Jake and Leah walked the last few feet up the porch steps and through the front door, Leah leading Jake by his hand. He followed, feeling increasingly apprehensive. Alice immediately flew into the room, dancing around as usual like a mini tornado.

"Leah, Jake!" she cried, and twirled over to hug them with a broad smile.

"Hey, Alice," Leah said as Alice flung her arms around her neck. "Nice to see you too." She and her Alpha missed the surprised and confused look that Alice and Edward exchanged with her brother over Leah's shoulder.

Carlisle and Esme drifted over, Esme smiling warmly. "Hey Carlisle, Esme," said Leah.

"Hello Leah, dear," Esme replied while Carlisle smiled.

"Carlisle, Sam sent us to ask you if it was possible to arrange a meeting with your family and his pack?"

"I'm sure we can sort something out. In the clearing where we last met, I presume?"

"Yeah, that would be good." Carlisle crossed the room in seconds to a pen and notepad sitting by the phone on a small table, scribbled something down, and then whizzed back.

"Here," he said, holding out a neatly folded piece of paper to Leah. "Take my number, and tell him to call me when he decides on a day."

"Thanks, I will."

"Lee! Jake! What are you doing here?" Seth and Emmett came down the stairs. Emmett instantly grinned at Leah and punched her playfully on the arm.

"Hey, the she-wolf is back! This is gonna rock."

"I'm gonna get you for the spider in my shoe, Em. Seriously. I will."

"Oh, you haven't seen anything yet." Everyone chuckled, and Jake began to feel more relaxed. Maybe coming here wasn't such a bad idea after all.

"Hey, Jake." Jake's smiled disappeared the moment Bella came into view. Her porcelain skin was flawless, and her eyes were a beautiful golden colour, like honey. But she was too graceful, too perfect. The Bella Swan who'd been his best friend had changed, and he missed her.

"Hey Bells......" Oh dear. Oh crap. Oh bollocks. Trust Bella to walk into the room as soon as Jake started to feel better, Leah thought. She gave Jake's hand a reassuring squeeze. A split second later Bella's eyes flickered to their joined hands, and then met Leah's gaze. Quit staring at me, Bella. I don't want to be a bitch anymore, but I still don't like you. Oops. Husband in the room....sorry Edward. Okay. Let's think about something else. Um...happy thoughts. Well....at least these jeans don't make me look fat. Crap, there's a bloody hole in the knee! Argh, I need to go shopping asap, my wardrobe is shameful......She looked up when she heard Edward laugh, and something clicked in her mind.

"Alice..."
EDWARD. Don't you dare!

"Leah needs to go shopping." Leah groaned when Alice immediately squealed excitedly and started jumping up and down.

"Oh, Leah, this is gonna be so cool....I haven't been shopping in forever! Ohmigod, we can take the porsche!"

Oh, shit.

Hehe :P Alice is awesome, isn't she? Let me know what you thought of it, I read every review I get and they're always appreciated :) xx
