Actually, it didn't take me all that long to decide at all. Here you go- The pre-date and date for Mizu and Nessie chapter, aka, Chapter 9 of TATT. As long as the story goes how my very, very fuzzy mental outline goes, this should be the last chapter that focuses mostly on their relationship, with the exception of maybe a few scattered ones here and there, which also means the POV will be Dragon's or Alice's more often than Nessie's, so get ready for the changes, because it is coming!

Anyway, my lovelies, enjoy!

Renesmee's POV 4:00 P.M

I expected the day to pass extremely slowly after that, but, surprisingly, it didn't. Maybe it had something to do with Mizu's admitted inability to stop smiling at me, or the way we were almost constantly in physical contact in some small way, or Dragon's surprising lack of either comment or any true sign of displeasure, though she was rather spacy the entire day. But oh well, I can mention it to Mizu later and she or we can deal with it tomorrow or on Monday, if it's even a sign of a problem at all. Call me selfish, but I really don't want anything to spoil our night and I may not have a sister, but I'm pretty sure that fighting with or worrying about your twin is a quick way to put a pretty significant damper on the evening.

I didn't mention the date to any of my family until I got home, and the first one I mentioned it to was Jessica, though I knew full well as I told her that I was also informing the rest of my family as well.

"Hey Jessica?" I asked as soon as I got home, practically running at a human speed into the house and up to my bedroom.

"Yeah?" She followed me up to my room as I began to rapidly dig through my closet.

"Can you help me get ready?" I asked, slightly nervous, not at her reaction, but at the reaction of some of my other Aunts/Uncles/Whatever They Are, mostly Rosalie's since I figured that she would be the only one who might have a problem with it with my dad gone to Denali.

"Ready for what-" She asked and them stopped for a moment as a knowing smirk made it's way onto her face. "You're going on a date tonight, aren't you?"

"Yeah. Yeah I am." I blushed a little, but couldn't keep the grin off of my face. Jessica just laughed and threw an arm around my shoulder. And I relaxed after a second as I realised that no one was coming up the stairs to pitch a fit about it.

"That's my girl. It's really too bad Alice isn't here, she'd have a ball with this. Now, when is your date, is your fair lady love coming to pick you up or vise versa and how nice do you need to dress?"

"She said she'll pick me up around six... And I'm not actually sure. I guess I should ask where we're going." I admitted as I pulled out my phone and quickly sent a text to the number Mizu had given me.

"Six? It's only just barely four! How about you go downstairs, have a snack, I'm sure Esme'll want to gossip about it and Emmett will want to tease you to death, and we can regroup and start looking in an hour or so, okay?" I sighed.

"You're probably right. I'm just not sure I can wait a whole hour!" I moaned, hanging up the sweater I had been critically examining. She just laughed again and patted me on the back.

"Don't worry Nessie, it's only an hour." She ruffled my hair before she left the room, and I followed quickly behind. When I was about halfway down the stairs, my phone buzzed, and when I checked the message, it was unsurpringly from Mizu, essentially saying jeans and a cute shirt. I grinned and happily informed Jessica of the fact as I practically skipped down the stairs.

ThereWillBeABitOfMeanWhileBackAtTheRanchingInThis,BTW

Dragon's POV 4:00 P.M

The trip home was slightly tense and silent except for the Korean death metal that I decided to put on instead of my regular JRock. The fact that she didn't even comment on my choice or the volume was either shocking or completely expected, I couldn't quite decide which.

When we finally arrived at our home, she immediately wanted to start getting ready, and I couldn't tell if it was because she was that excited for the date or if she just wasn't sure what to say to me. Probably both. I followed her to our room and watched her as she pointedly dug through the clothes that we mostly shared, obviously trying to find the best thing she could possibly wear to dinner and a movie. After a moment, I decided to be the one to try to relieve the tension and I put on a smirk that felt stiff as I walked closer.

"Didn't you say six? You know it's only four right? I mean, I know you want to impress your lady love, but two hours might be a little overkill, especially since there's two of us to make you look drop-dead gorgeous. She grinned at that, albeit a little less brightly than usual and replied, though she didn't stop digging through our closet.

"Maybe just a little. And who says you get to help? For all I know, you might just decide to make me look like a clown on purpose." I gasped dramatically and put a hand to my chest.

"Sister dearest, you wound me! I would never do anything to ruin your big first date. What kind of villian do you take me for?"I pretended to pout as I slid past her into the closet and began searching through the clothes on the other end.

"The kind that thinks it's funny to ruin their sister's first date." She deadpanned. I laughed and admitted that she had a point, but since she had caught me, she had my word that I would only make her look slightly clown-like. Despite our continued teasing and acting as if nothing was different, the tension from the subtle elephant in the room was only partially lightened.

"Here, how about this one?" I handed her a dark purple, somewhat kimono style shirt that, normally, only I wore since it is kind of one of my favorites and I like to dress up a bit more while she liked to dress down just a little if she can. She took it, examined it and held it up, then grinned and put back all of the other shirts, since it had apparently been deemed better than any of the rest for this occasion. I smiled and moved down to look through the jeans, pretty positive that that was the shirt she would be wearing.

Meanwhile,BackatTheCullen'sHouse

Renesmee's POV- 4:15 P.M.

"So, I hear you're going on a date." Esme smiled knowingly as I ate a light snack, practically unable to sit still with anticipation.

"Yup. Mizu asked me this morning and I said yes, and now I just can't wait, too hours feels way too long!" I physically forced myself to calm down, though I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. Esme just smiled at me.

"Well, it's not exactly unexpected. But I am glad for you. Too bad Alice isn't here, she'd love to use you as a dress up doll." We both laughed and I continued eating.

BackToTheTwins

Dragon's POV- 4:45 P.M.

"Come on Mizu, you've tried on seventeen different pairs, we don't have any more! Just wear the black ones." I whined.

"Which ones, all of them are black! Why on earth do we have so many pairs of black jeans anyway?" She called from the closet, changing once again.

"Because I like them and we share. I don't know, what shoes are you wearing?" And the tedious decision making continued.

Cullens

Renesmee's POV- 5:05 P.M.

"Jessica, it's already past five o'clock, come on!" I was very aware that I was whining, I simply didn't care.

"Yeah, but we could get you ready in ten minutes if we had to and besides, wouldn't it be better to wait now, rather than get ready way to early and have to wait half an hour before she arrived?" Jessica replied as she continued to read some novel or the other that I didn't even care to know the name of. I sighed and sat heavily next to her, waiting for her to get to somewhere that she deemed an acceptable stopping point.

"Nessie." It was Esme.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know what Dragon is doing?" My may-as-well-be grandmother asked,

"No, why?" I replied boredly.

"Well, how about you text your girlfriend," The woman winked conspiratorially at me and I saw Jessica grin out of the corner of my eye, "And ask if her sister would like to come over and have dinner with us and stay for a while. Maybe she can actually tell me how to improve my cooking some." Code words for "I don't mind company and she doesn't really seem used to being by herself, so I would be happy to have her over so that she's not alone, since her blood won't bother anyone like a human's would." Only Esme could ever be that thoughtful.

"Alright, I'll text her and see."

Twins

Dragon's POV 5:06 P.M.

I heard a buzzing sound coming from the still occupied closet as I laid on the bed, absolutely bored by now. After a second of silence, I heard my sister call out my name.

"Yeah?" I asked boredly, waiting to be shown the same pair of pants for a third time as she gushed about the keeper of her heart.

"Nessie says that Esme wants to know if you want to come over, have dinner and hang out for a little while." Huh.

"Meh. Sure, why not." I wouldn't mind spending the evening with that too-sweet woman and her awesome cooking and it would be nice not to spend the entire night brooding alone.

StillTwins,Later

Still Dragon's POV- 5.35 P.M.

"And... perfect. A masterpiece, if I do say so myself." I called with one last dramatic flourish of the mascara.

"It better be, because I won't have time to fix it if it's clown-esque." She teased as she checked the time before looking into a mirror. "Looks good. Ready to go?" She was going to drop me off at the Cullen house as she picked Renesmee up.

"Yup. Let's go lover-girl."

BackToTheCullens

Renesmee's POV- 6:00 P.M.

I wanted to get up and rush to the door as soon as I heard the car pull into the driveway but I held myself back, staying seated on the couch until the pairs of footsteps made it up to the front door. Of course, I opened the door the split-second the bell rang. On the other side of the door were the twins, Dragon in a plain black T-Shirt with an equally plain pair of black sweatpants. Mizu was absolutely stunning, dressed up in a pair of fitting black jeans, a dark purple kimono-like shirt and some black boots, wearing just little bit of makeup, though she really needed any. It took me a second to force myself to stop drooling.

"See, sis, I told you you look amazing." Dragon teased, snapping me out of my oggling as Mizu blushed lightly and smacked her sister on the back of the head, as was customary.

"Ignore her. You look amazing. Ready to go?" Mizu asked, but before I could answer, Esme swept into the room.

"No, don't leave yet. I want to take a few pictures." Esme smiled sweetly as she held up a camera and motioned the two inside. I groaned and sighed as she position the two of us for the picture, then took it, then positioned us again and took another, rinse and repeat. Thankfully, she didn't go too terribly overboard, but it did seem like a short eternity.

"Alright, I think I'm done, you two can go." Esme finally declared. Interestingly enough, our retreat was interupted again.

"Wait!" Dragon called. "Nessie, come with me to the car, I have something for you!" Dragon waved for me to follow her.

"Okay, you can just come with us to the car, give it to her, and then come back inside." Mizu interupted, clearly suspicious of whatever Dragon was doing. Dragon floundered for a second, then locked eyes with Jessica.

"Actually," Jessica stepped in, seemingly out of the blue, "Mizu, I think you left something here earlier, it's in my room, come with me." She grabbed Mizu's arm and led her up the stairs, effectively seperating us as Dragon pulled me outside. By now, I had a pretty decent idea of what they were doing. Dragon threw an arm carelessly over my shoulder as we were walking.

"Now," She started casually, "I know because of the whole mates thing that I probably don't really need to tell you this, but I'm going to just for the sake having it there on the off chance that I end up needing it. If you ever do anything to hurt my sister or put her in danger in any way, not all of the vamps in the world will be able to save you from my wrath, cool chiz?" I nodded, amused and only slightly frightened, "Good. Now-" Took her arm back, opened the door of the car, reached in and pulled out a CD. "Here, this is The Gazette, the same artist and album we were listening to a couple days ago. Listen to it. Feel it. Love it. Tell me how much you liked it on Monday." She nonchalantly slammed the car door and turned to walk back inside as if the quirky conversation had never occured.

Mizu, Jessica and Rosalie were just coming down the stairs as we entered the house again. Interestingly enough, Mizu had nothing in her hands- Imagine that.

"Alright, ready to go now?" I asked as I set the case down on a small table, not wanting to take the time to run it up to my room and risk having another interuption.

"Yes, let's go. Don't want to be late to our dinner date, after all." Mizu grabbed my hand and we hurried out of the house with only a hasty goodbye thrown over our shoulders. We were silent for the few moments it took to get in the car and start driving away, but the second we were out of earshot of my family, we burst into laughter.

"Your sister gave me the 'You hurt my sister, I hurt you' talk, I hope you know." I told her after we calmed down a little.

"I figured that's what she was doing. Jessica and Rosalie gave me the same thing- Do you think they planned it together before hand?" She joked.

"Seems like something that they would do." I shook my head. "So, now that we're on the road, will you tell me where we're going?" She rolled her eyes at my impatience.

"Well, you said you like Italian, so we're going to that Italian place in Port Angeles, you know, the one next to the fountain." I grinned excited.

"No way! That's my favorite restaurant!"

"Really, but I though McDonalds was your favorite."

"Oh, hahaha, you're so funny."

AaaaandBackToTheCullen'sHouse

Dragon's POV

"That was brilliant. Job well done." I high fived Jessica the second I was sure neither my sister nor her mate could hear us.

"It's lucky we both decided to do it the same night, it was a pretty lucky coincidence." Jessica acknowledged.

"Great minds think alike, eh?" I winked.

AaaaaandI'mDone.

Yup, That's chapter nine. Will I go through Nessie and Mizu's date? Probably not. I might, but probably not, or if I do, it'll be switching back and forth between them and the Cullen's house in Dragon's POV, mostly in Dragon's POV, but there's not much I can accomplish at the Cullen house as of right now, I'm mostly just trying to get through to a certain point a few hours later, but I'm not sure when to skip to, exactly. Oh well, I'll figure it out.

I hope you enjoyed and, as always, I will hopefully see in the next update. Goodbye for now, my lovelies!
