(A/N) Don't remind me how awful I am. I know I haven't updated in a while. *sob* I'm so sorry! *sob* The truth is, I have been doing a lot of work this week so I am really lucky I have this oppurtunity to update now. I felt so bad, i added alot more to this chapter. It was only really meant to be about 1000 words, but I felt so guilty I had to write more, just to please you guys.

On a brighter note, I am in double figures in reviews! Yay me! And thank you, Cletus, who is a living testament to two things, a) I don't mind anonymous reviews, and b) Your reviews don't have to be completely positive. I actually took Cletus' review to heart and I am going to try and make my story more flowing from now on. (And about the legs thing, I didn't go into it, make up your own story)

Okay, Enjoy.


Chapter Ten- Surprise

The whole family, minus Nessie and Jacob, were crowded around me. Their auras were excited.

I sighed. It was five in the morning, on my big day. I knew what was coming. It was inevitable. And, even though I loved fuss, I just wanted to do some last hour preparation for my job.

But Alice was having none of it.

She told Jasper to cover my eyes, because she couldn't reach. Jasper obliged, possibly because a sad Alice was not one you would ever want to see in your existence.

'Don't open your eyes, not yet anyway!' Esme shrieked. I sighed. And I heard Edward absentmindedly whisper a kind warning.

'Be nice.'

I heard a door open. A new waft of air crashed against my face. I breathed in the new scent. It smelt quite homey and comfortable. It reminded me of - I gulped- Justin. His scent had a unique flavour, like two conflicting scents battling each other. His scent was mint and sweet peppers. A unique, yet very appealing scent...to me.

And my new room had two conflicting scents, not the same ones Justin had, but still really appealing to me. This scent was chocolate... and soft cheeses. I stood there, letting the scents waft through my nostrils, and into my body, letting it refresh my soul.

Alice cleared her throat. 'Come on!' she sang impatiently. Jasper pushed me forward, indicating for me to walk through. I noticed the different flooring, soft, and cushiony. Just the way I liked it.

I heard a quick movement in the air around me, and Jasper released me, giving me my sight back. I looked around me. I smiled genuinely at Alice, and acknowledged all the features in my new room.

The room was in an octagonal shape. The first thing I noticed was a beautiful car, in that baby lilac colour I loved, sat on a large pedestal. It was intricately decorated with pink, lilac and fuchsia sequins, in a lovely wave-like formation. There must have been more than a million sequins stuck on the body. I wondered how long it would have taken to stick each individual sequin on, in that perfect pattern.

Edward snapped me out of my thoughts. 'There's more to the car,' he beamed. I looked behind me at him, and he produced a key from his pocket. He pressed a button on the keys, and the roof of my car started folding into the boot. Then I noticed from the corner of my eyes, Emmett flicking a switch on the wall. The pedestal started rotating, revolving, and allowing me to see more angles of my beautiful car.

Damn it, they knew I loved to be a show off.

I saw the license plate. McCu113N. I felt pangs in my eyes again, and I ran and jumped into the leather seat. That was when I noticed the lilac garage door, and a ramp which would allow me to drive my car off its pedestal. I pressed a few buttons, and got quite a shock when the radio blared out a fast tempo tune, accompanied by hydraulics.

'I absolutely love you guys!' I screamed above the music. I heard some movement from directly above me. I disregarded it, too happy to care.

'There's more to the room than the car, you know...' Esme hinted. I gasped and jumped out of the car a fluid movement. I removed my seven inch heels to feel the cushioning on my feet. I noticed a king-sized bed, but it was trivial, compared to the desk, and a pink laptop resting on it.

As soon as I ventured towards it, the pink casing changed, to a picture of me. I gasped in realization; Alice had taken me to a photo shoot, I just thought we dressed up and took pictures for fun. But I recognised each picture, as ones I had looked over with Alice and proclaimed my approval of. My eyes wandered to the area around the desk- I saw a complete office with sufficient space on the shelves for me to place all the files of every student in Forks High.

Then I noticed a cute mobile phone, in lilac casing and with sequins that matched my car.

My eyes drifted to another wall of my room. A full, proper office suite, with a monster photocopier and a brilliant home suite computer. It had a massive screen, which right on cue started displaying some of my favourite pictures from our fashion shoot.

Then, I saw the minor things that made my room so complete. A thermostat, so I can adjust the temperature in my room. A wardrobe circular rack that rotated, just like my car pedestal did. A complete wall shelf loaded with some awesome shoes. A SODA DISPENSER! And a machine that could carbonate any beverage. And a packaging unit. I can make my own soda if I wanted.

I turned back to face my family, and to my surprise Renesmee was there, with Jacob, rubbing her eyes.

'How did you get there?' I asked. She sighed, angrily.

'YOU woke me and Jake up with all the heavy music. Excuse the pun, but have a heart. We're trying to get some SLEEP!' She ranted. She had a lot of frustration bubbling inside her. I switched the music off, letting her continue.

'God! You fullies gotta have more freaking respect for us halfies!' she screamed. Fullies? Halfies? I wondered what she meant.

Renesmee continued, and I probed her. She was my favourite person to probe. She was open, as usual, and I felt her tiredness, without having to probe much. But I remembered that Edward had sent her and Jacob to bed early last night. Hmmmm.

Nessie ran out of steam, and then ran out of my room, leaving poor Jacob to trail after her.

What the hell was that? I thought to Edward.

'A tired Nessie is not a happy Nessie. And don't forget, she is forever hormonal.' He said in a knowing tone. I nodded.

My family watched me as I looked round the rest of my room, pretty much in silence.

'What was that about fullies and halfies?' I asked, after letting my curiosity drive me crazy. The family laughed. I pouted, not liking to be on the outside of an inside joke. Jasper spoke up.

'When Nessie was 'twelve',' he began, using air quotes, 'She, Jacob and Nahuel, another half vampire, were playing in the forest, and Rosalie wanted to play with them. Nessie didn't want Rosalie to play, so she just said to her 'This is a halfies game! No fullies allowed!' And when we asked her what she meant, she told us that halfies were the hybrids, including Jacob, who is half human, half wolf. And fullies are full vampires and full humans.' The family kept on laughing.

I nodded, understanding. But I was still curious. Why was it so funny?

'Because, she hasn't said it since she was twelve, and while she was saying it, she lost her concentration and tripped over a squirrel!' Edward said in between chuckles. 'We were laughing at the memory.' He concluded, still laughing.

'It's kind of hard to imagine Nessie trip over a squirrel...' I said, catching the infectious laughter.

'I know, right?' Alice chimed, unable to stop laughing. Jasper immediately laughed harder at the sound of his wife in a helpless state of laughter.

'Uh, oh,' Edward suddenly muttered. The family stopped laughing.

The silence made it even easier for me to hear another shuffling directly above us. Emmett cocked his head forward in Edward's direction. He replied with one word: 'Nessie.'

I fought back a smile as Nessie appeared at the door again. Her left eye was twitching madly and she stood in an offensive stance. I almost burst out laughing at the sight of her; she was so small and weak yet she threatened us with her body language.

'It is five thirty in the morning. It is a big day today. My eyes are puffy. I. Need. Sleep.' She said, while trying to keep her sanity. I was almost afraid she would turn into a wolf. 'Why must you take away the one thing I really need? Just be quiet, and nobody gets hurt.'

I noticed a role-reversal when Jacob appeared and started rubbing Nessie's arm, whispering 'shhhh,' into her ear. He coaxed her outside, and with one final glare, Nessie and Jacob left.

'She's been watching the classic reruns of 'The Godfather' again, hasn't she?' Bella asked, with a knowing tone.

Emmett tensed, then relaxed.

'It was you, wasn't it, Emmett?' Bella accused. Emmett ran to his own defence.

'She's nearly ninety five years old! She can watch what she likes!' He said, quickly.

'But you know how easily swayed she is! Did you hear that language and hostility coming out of her mouth? And I still haven't forgotten the fact that you let her watch 'True Blood' when she was physically ten!' Bella was on fire. I could read it easily from her aura. I suddenly read a calm emotion from her and realized Jasper was 'helping' the situation.

'This conversation is not over.' Bella threatened to Emmett once she realized she couldn't get angry with Emmett at that moment. Bella left my room, making Edward trail out after her.

'Okay, let's leave you to your room,' Esme said. Everybody but Alice left. I took another final glance around my room and Alice spoke up. There is one final thing you have to see!' she trilled. To my surprise she walked me to the door of my room. She closed us out, and told me to say my new name into a digital box near the door.

'Faye McCullen,' I said proudly. The door opened automatically. I stared in amazement. Alice closed the door again. She pushed me away from the door, and started to talk into the door.

'Faye McCullen.' She said in an almost perfect impression of my voice. The door opened again. What was the point of using voice recognition in a house full of vampires?

'I had to use voice recognition to keep a certain person out of this room.' She told me. 'Do you know how long it took for me to get that scent perfect?' She added.

I smiled. Jacob would really stink up my room. It was just like Alice to think of that.

I entered my room, breathing in the scent. I had lost track of time, and I had a lot of last- hour work to do. I was going to my first job as a vampire.

And I couldn't wait.


(A/N) Chocolate and Cheese! (sorry, private joke.) Anyway, I am so sorry. You (and I) were (probably) expecting the first day of school in this chapter. But the room thing got drawn out and I didnt want to cut it short because I had a feeling it would be important. So I added some bits.

Next chapter will be the first day of school. I promise.

Now review like you know you should (please?).
