I don't know if I'd consider this a pointless chapter, but at least it's something. I've been a little preoccupied and I haven't been able to write something I feel is upload worthy. I got sucked into the Harry Potter side of FFN and then into the Pitch Perfect side again. I even started writing an OC Centric fic for Pitch Perfect. It's Triple Treble and OCxStacie with some possible BenjixJesse. I don't know if I should upload it or not, but just wanted to let you all know what I'll be working on (Also working on an original story, but need the plot skeleton first). All of my other stories will probably go on a temporary hiatus because I seriously can't think of anything else to write for them. If anyone has any suggestions or if you wanna help me out with ideas, I'd be more than happy to talk with you about them.

Oh and a special thanks to TargeTPsY for the Candle to Sun and Moon analogy I used towards the end. I really like that and I think I'm gonna refer to Rosalie as Bella's Sun and Alice as the Moon in my stories from now on.

3rd Person POV

Bella and Tanya spend nearly all day walking around Port Angeles and Seattle, having fun and getting to know each other. If they noticed Rose and Alice following them halfway into their trip, they don't address it. Bella gets really excited when they pass by a bookstore and practically drags Tanya into it, knowing the vampire is humoring her because there's no way she could move a vampire even if she used all of her strength. Browsing the bookstore for a good half hour to an hour, Tanya throwing out book suggestions and looking fondly at a few of them, Bella finds a few that she wants to buy but then remembers that she didn't bring her wallet.

"Shit, I forgot my wallet." Letting out a sigh, Bella starts to make her way back to the shelves when Tanya catches her arm.

Raising an eyebrow, Bella silently prompts her to speak up. "I'll pay for them."

Shaking her head, Bella tries to protest, but Tanya isn't having it. She takes the books from Bella with a look that says "I'm treating you and that's final" before making her way to the counter and paying for the books. When she comes back with the bag of books, Bella smiles and kisses her cheek in thanks. The action almost makes Rose and Alice blow their covers by running out and forcibly separating the two.

Bella and Tanya walk out of the bookstore and start walking around Port Angeles a little. A few wolf whistles sound every so often directed towards Tanya and to keep people at bay, she grabs Bella's hand. Looking at the brunette for permission, Bella entwines their fingers as an answer. Grateful, Tanya gently squeezes her hand and they continue walking.

Rose and Alice, on the other hand, can practically feel their inner vampires clawing their way out of their bodies, screaming at them to go out there and take back their mate. Staying back and observing gets harder and harder as Tanya and Bella never let go of each other's hands and the brunette seems to be having a blast with the blonde. The two vampires have to wonder whether or not that could be them had they not kept being mates from their third piece. Looking back on it, they regret it immensely and have literally no idea why they did it but they've come to terms that they'll just have to work harder and deal with the consequences.

"Tanya, I'm getting kinda hungry. Do you think we could stop and get some french fries and/or ice cream or something?" Bella asks, looking over at her blonde companion.

Raising a perfect eyebrow, Tanya lets out an amused chuckle. "That sounds like a pregnancy craving or something. Are you not telling me something?"

Laughing at the slight jab, Bella shakes her head. "No, it's just something I've acquired a taste for. Same with pickles and chocolate syrup."

Seeing the look on Tanya's face, Bella can't help but laugh again at the way her nose scrunches up like she smelled something unpleasant. Then again, she probably did considering she's a vampire. Walking into a little café on the street, Bella waits in line while Tanya has a hand over her mouth and doesn't seem to be breathing. "You know, you didn't have to come in with me. I just want to get some ice cream cause I doubt they have french fries here."

Shaking her head, Tanya moves her hand but still doesn't breathe in. "No, it's fine. I've been around long enough to have gotten used to the smell of food so it doesn't bother me as much as it does other vampires. Besides, if you're not here next to me, I'd probably find some poor unfortunate soul to satisfy my sexual appetite."

Nodding, Bella lets go of Tanya's hand long enough to tell the guy at the counter what she wants (A Dark Chocolate Mint cappuccino with a shot of espresso and a chocolate ice cream). When she finishes her order, Tanya's hand finds hers again before paying the guy and they take a seat while the guy fixes Bella's order. About 5 minutes later, Bella's cappuccino and ice cream are ready and they walk out; Tanya holding Bella's coffee while Bella demolishes her ice cream.

"You've got a little..." Shaking slightly with silent laughter, Tanya moves her thumb up to Bella's face to get some of the ice cream from the corner of her mouth that started dripping down.

Once she got it, her hand stays on Bella's face; Bella leaning into her touch slightly. Caught up in the moment, forgetting completely that she has mates, Tanya starts leaning in. Bella's mind goes blank for a second before the painful tug in her chest makes her wince and she turns her head, Tanya's lips landing on her cheek. Clearing her throat, Bella looks back at Tanya, oblivious to her two mates listening in. "You're very beautiful Tanya and maybe in another life, we could end up together...but in this life, you're a candle to me. You're beautiful and luminous, but ultimately unnecessary when I have the sun and the moon lighting up my life...I'm sorry."

A small smile spreads across Tanya's face, sad but understanding, and she nods. "I understand, Isabella. However, I think we should get you home. You sun and your moon must be having a panic attack because I've kept you so long."

Giggling, Bella nods and takes her coffee from Tanya, entwining their fingers again. She's glad Tanya understands and she's relieved that their friendship is still intact, indicated by the gentle squeeze Tanya gives her hand. They don't notice Rose or Alice speeding back to the house, eyes glassy and a huge burden lifted from their shoulders at Bella's confession.

Not really much to add that I didn't cover in the top A/N, so I'm just gonna end it by reminding you to review/PM me ideas or suggestions for any one of my stories and that my stories are gonna be on a temporary hiatus. Hope you're all doing great and having a nice day/night and I hope to hear from you.
