Disclaimer: I have this obsession with Australia all thanks to Dave(the youth minister), Jacey(the platypus fanatic), and kangaroos! So I officially declare Australia to be mine. Muahahahahaaa! I am also Stephenie Meyer! And Johnny Depp! Don't forget that I'm a blue dodo named Pedro! And... I also own the Twilight series! ... In other words, I don't own squat.

-2 Months Later-

"Bella?" Edward's soft voice asked.

"Hmm?"I replied, too caught up in the moment to even try talking coherently.

"We have to go back. It's getting dark." He motioned to the sky. "We can watch the sunset, if you'd like," he added.

"Okay," I answered and grabbed his leading hand. Without it, I'd get lost in the thick forest.

Within minutes, we were at the outskirts of a pond, one Alice had mentioned when I had just arrived.

He sat down and I followed. He then lay down with his arms behind his head, gazing at the stars that would gradually appear. I just sat, watching the horizon until the sun hid beneath the land.

I let my upper body fall, landing with my head on Edward's chest, the rise and fall of his breathing relaxing me.

He grabbed a stray lock of hair and twirled it around his fingers. The moment was so serene, so utterly perfect, that it was a surprise that nothing happened.

I watched the swaying cattails at the pond's edge, the ripples in the pond as a fish broke the still water's surface, and the hues of the twilight.

"Bella?" Edward asked.

"Yes?"

He hesitated before closing the space between us and pressing his lips to mine. However, he pulled away quickly.

"Why did you do that?" I asked playfully.

"You never know how much time we have together, and I want to take advantage of the time we do have," he answered in a slightly grave voice.

I nodded. With the recent war going on, we had no clue who would be attacked next. James had taken over the decisions for the time being, more experienced in battle and strategy. Charlie had let me stay here because the city had much more protection than our little village. We keep in contact though, sending letters weekly and keeping ourselves posted on what was happening.

"Wow, you sure know how to kill the moment," I teased.

He merely chuckled, and stared into the distance.

I heard a faint voice calling us, our cue to get inside.

He placed his hand in mine, radiating warmth and comfort, and we continued our way back to the main doors.

However, Esme stopped me before I was inside.

"James wants to see you," she stated.

I gave a nod, in shock. I was most likely why the war started. Only anger could be in store for me.

I walked with my head held low. The average sulking position. Walking towards the unknown. Utter joy.

A/N Thanks to my reviewers! Sorry I couldn't get it out sooner. My English teacher must think we are robots or something because, honestly, who finishes an essay and three workpages in one night. Twilight came out! I'm probably not gonna see it until it comes out in cheap theaters or I get invited to go with a buddy, but it's out!
