Where's your TV?' Bella choked, burying her head in her hands to stem the flow of the tears. Jacob chuckled, then tossing the remote to the ground, put his arms round her. Her eyes were puffy already, and he tenderly wiped a tear away from them. She tore away from his warm hug. 'Jacob, tell me what's going on. Now.'

He sighed, staring towards the heavens. Bella snuck a look at Mike, who was staring at the ground, expressionless. The pack had picked up the remote and were eagerly fiddling with it, occasionally breaking out in peals of laughter. Jacob's dark eyes were full of guilt. 'It's… hard to explain Bells. Just wait. What you must know is what I did was not out of how much I hated Edward. It was to help you. I need you to know that before I start.'

Now Bella was interested. She lifted her eyes up to him, and the sunlight radiating through the forest. Patterns danced over the grassy floor, dark intertwining with light like lovers. Her hair momentarily shone with a streak of sunlight, and that, Jacob decided, was nothing but sexy. He reached out and grabbed her hand, and she sat up. She wiped her eyes with her T-shirt, and sniffed, controlling herself.

Jacob began. 'Well, it all began when I first met Quil and Embry. We were just little kids, having imaginary battles and discoveries, only in Year 4. You know, eating paste, belching alphabet, that kinda thing. One of our favorite games was to pretend we had our own personal robots, and they'd do everything for us. Like our homework and stuff. Only, as we got older, we really started to think about that. We used our knowledge of cars, engines, motorbikes, and developed a few designs. When we found we were werewolves, it actually helped a lot. We'd go into wolf form and sometimes take a few parts away from cars and bikes, stuff we needed. We finally made a prototype about a year ago.'

Bella frowned. 'That would have taken ages. Every time I saw you, you were always working on the Rabbit. And you were always talking about it. You sounded like you actually knew about it.'

He nodded, and stretched slightly. 'The Rabbit didn't need any work, matter of fact. It was absolutely fine. But we needed to hide our work, and the perfect place was underneath the car. Every time, I was just re-developing the robot.'

She covered her mouth, which was hanging open. 'Are you saying…?'

'Yep.' Jacob said. He snatched the remote off Sam, and pointed it at Mike. A short bleep and Mike stood up, head hanging. Another button pushed, and Mike's arm shot out, catching Embry in the face. He stumbled back, blood suddenly oozing from his nose. Paul went to help, as it dawned on Bella the entire truth. Jacob tossed the remote back to Sam, who caught it with one hand. He turned back to Bella, and recounted his last few days with his robot.

'When I met you I totally forgot about the prototype. Quil and Embry kept carrying out the experiments in secret though. Then when Edward hurt you and you went off with him again… I knew I had to do something. So when you called about the game, I knew everything was going to be perfect. We managed to make our robot here look almost exactly like your ex Mike… thanks to getting him to dunk his face in a LOT of wax.' Jacob chuckled at this fond memory, remembering Mike's reaction when he discovered how hot the wax really was. The real Mike was in hospital for wax burns right now, but he declined to tell this to Bella.

She listened avidly to every single word. 'But… how did you know that I was going to go because I was hungry?'

Jacob beamed once more. 'I didn't. My original plan was for M.I.K.E- that's what we call, stands for Machine Intel Kilobyte Experiment. It was for M.I. K.E to stumble into the playing field and promptly kiss you, acting like your boyfriend. Embry would melt into the trees, and still control the robot. See, when you speak into this microphone, it sounds like M.I.K.E is saying it.'

On cue, Sam muttered into the remote, and the robot moved his lips to mimic his words. Bella laughed weakly at the words, some of them rude. Jacob was delighted.

'You stumbled upon where we were going to deactivate him. We realized this because we'd been following the vampires, knowing they were tracking your blood scent, and knew exactly where you were. Lucky we had the remote, and the trap was set. But I'm so sorry Bella… I just wanted him to leave you alone. He would have devastated you, and I couldn't stand that. He's already hurt you more than once. Please forgive me, or I'll never forgive myself.'

She was silent for a long time, toying with her hair. Her eyes were lowered, and Jacob sighed. He knew that whatever she said now, could affect his whole life. The silence was humbling, and even the pack were still.

Then Bella's clear voice cut through the icy silence. 'And you got the whole pack into this?'

He nodded vigorously, smiling weakly. 'They all wanted to help, especially as it was for you, Bells. We got the work done twice as quickly. It was for you, and nothing else.'

She was silent again, her face troubled. Emotions swirled round her head, and she was torn between being angry, sad, or just plain loving Jacob like she'd always done. Bella wanted to cry again thinking of Edward, but then again, she remembered his angry face, his vile temper. She winced, and then made her final decision.

She jumped up, surprising him. A painted nail poked him in the chest. 'Jacob Black, you're a very bad boyfriend, you know that?'

He gulped, his heart sinking. 'Uh… yeah.'

'You tricked Edward so you could have me, you made a robot to steal him away from me, and you've obviously got jealousy issues. And you know what?'

He looked deep into her eyes, but saw nothing. They were cold, and bloodshot from spent tears. He blinked hard, waiting for what could and would come next. 'What?'

'I love you all the same.' These words came out in a rush as Bella threw herself at him, and held his head to hers. The pack breathed a long 'Awwwwww' as they kissed, again loving, all anger and disappointment forgotten. Bella felt her emotions melt away in a warm oblivion of love. Jacob's heart skipped and did somersaults around his chest. They broke apart, stared into one another's eyes, and then suddenly, he announced in a grand voice 'Let's get married!'

Bella stared at him, and her jaw practically dropped open. Her hands flew to her mouth, and she screamed like a little girl. 'YES! YES! YES! I WISH EDWARD COULD HEAR THIS!' she shrieked, and once again, kissed Jacob with a pure happiness and content that no-one could ever replicate. The moment was true. Both were the most joyous they had ever been, and as Jacob grasped Bella's hands, the moment overcame her in a dead heat and she fainted.
