SORRY!! It's been so long since I've updated! I've just been so busy with school and graduation and stuff!! Please REVIEW!! I love hearing what people think about my writing! Now enjoy!

Edward POV

As soon as Jasper finished reading the note out loud I was panicking. Alice didn't see either of the siblings getting hurt but her reassurances did nothing to calm my nerves. How could Ana be so stupid! It's dangerous out there! The rest of my family was relatively relaxed and excited about the game.

Carlisle was slightly worried about the unknown vampires headed our way but Alice didn't see them coming near us. Perhaps they were just curious about the scent and would leave soon. They better because nothing was going to happen to Ana. I wonder if she's told Marcus that I'm a vampire yet? And when are they going to get back!

I started pacing in the driveway while everyone else went inside. I don't think anyone will mind, it's not like we're going to raid the fridge and sleep in their beds or anything. I heard the T.V click on in the living room and then Emmett was yelling at me. He wanted me to quit pacing because it was distracting him from a show about grizzly bears. I really want to punch him sometimes…

Ana POV

Marcus had a small wreck in the woods but it was nothing serious. He wasn't paying enough attention to where he was going and ended up in a brush pile under a tree. Supposedly he had hit a root with his front tire, went over the handlebars, hit the tree and landed in a brush pile several feet away. How he did it the world will never know but I couldn't help but laugh. The look on his face was priceless! If only I had had a camera…ahhh…

Anyhow we decided to head back to the house and this is when I mentioned to Marcus that I was going to a baseball game tonight. Luckily he was leading so he couldn't glare at me and he was too busy concentrating now to really grasp what I said. I wonder if Edward is at the house yet? I hope not but at the same time I hope he is. The note I left was very creative and I bet Edward's family found it hilarious especially combined with the look I know would appear on his face. It's so much fun torturing people…

When we arrived home I saw Edward pacing near the garage. The look of rage would have been more comedic if I didn't know that the anger was centered on me. Still I gathered my courage and ran up to him all grins.

"Hi Edward! You're here early…" I tried to sound as cheerful as possible and proceeded to store my bike in the garage behind Edward. He pinched the bridge of his nose between two of his fingers and took a deep calming breath. I hadn't realized how worried he had been. I'll have to remind him that I can take care of myself for brief periods of time. I've been doing pretty well since I learned to crawl. Out of nowhere his ice cold arms wrapped around my waist and his mouth was at my ear. My heart thumped loudly in my chest.

"Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again." Well that's pretty succinct. However there's a small, tiny problem with it.

"But I enjoy mountain biking. And I can't leave my brother to defend for himself, that would just be cruel." His only response was to turn me around so I was facing him and then glaring at me. After several seconds of ineffectiveness the glare softened to a look of pleading. Wow. He had been REALLY worried about me!

"Please then at least tell me ahead of time. I was so worried. I can't even imagine you on a bike, aren't your balance problems even worse?" I think I'm forgiven but I better proceed with caution just in case. And what did he mean about my balance problems! So I can't walk twenty steps without tripping over something, what's his point! My face turned red at his comment and I huffed before going inside. I needed a shower and some food before I watched vampires play ball.

Of course I hadn't realized that we had guests. As soon as I opened the door something came out of nowhere and attacked. Or I should say someone. I squeaked as Emmett came flying out of nowhere, knocked me to the ground (not letting me hit the floor of course, just pretty much gently setting me down at the last second), then promptly sitting on me. He made sure not to put too much weight on me but I wasn't able to get up. Edward came in trying his hardest not to laugh but in the end utterly failing.

"Very funny now, GET OFF ME!!" I'm used to being attacked on a daily basis by my friends but I mean come on this is overkill!! Emmett got up and helped me to my feet a huge grin spread across his face the whole time. I decided to just stick my tongue out at him and skipped over to Edward. I needed to make sure I was forgiven for earlier. After several seconds of studying me he sighed and ruffled my hair. Why do people always do that? What is their fascination with my hair? Sure it's long and silky but so is the hair of at least twenty other girls at school, yet I never see anyone playing with THEIR hair. One of these days I'm just going to chop it really short and see what happens. Hehehehe…

I flew through the shower and began to have doubts that there would be a thunderstorm. Alice told me there was going to be a HUGE storm but the clouds didn't seem very thundery to me…but I'm not sure I have the best judgment about these things either. I grew up in sunny, hot Arizona.

I took one last look at my outfit before heading downstairs to be mauled by another vampire. I have a feeling Emmett's going to enjoy scaring me…just a feeling. Edward stared at me and I became very self conscious. I had on some blue jeans, oh how I long for shorts, and a long sleeved black shirt that hugged my curves nicely. Slung over an arm was my rain jacket. Now I was informed that I wouldn't need it but this is Forks, rainiest town in the USA. Leaving behind my rain coat would just be tempting fate a little too much, with my luck as soon as we got to wherever we're going a downpour would start. Now that I thought about it some more I still wasn't entirely sure of where we were going. I don't think Forks has a baseball diamond and why would vampires use it if there was one?

I was about to ask Edward when Emmett made an interesting comment.

"Rose will meet us there but are you planning on running the whole way or do you need my awesomely cool jeep?" It was directed at Edward. I don't understand the context. Why run? I hate to break it to Edward but I'm not much of a hiker. I wonder what kind of jeep Emmett has. I can only imagine what kind of a car he would enjoy, definitely not like Edward's small, tiny fast Volvo. I looked at Edward, eyebrows raised, to hear his answer.

He became very self conscious and before answering he glared at his brother. I started tapping my foot impatiently. Edward lucked out because at that moment Carlisle decided that we needed to get going. Marcus said bye and I hurried out to the car. Now the issue was going to be getting everyone in the car all at once. Hmmm….five seats and let's see how many vampires. Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Carlisle and Esme plus me. That's seven people. I'm guessing Edward is driving since it's his car but how in the world did they get over here?

Shortly after I decided that the answer to how they all got to my house is hormones. Alice sat on Jasper's lap, Carlisle and Esme sat together in the back while I was tortured by Emmett. Occasionally Edward intervened when he thought Emmett was being too inappropriate but otherwise I had fun. One note about Emmett, he is HUGE. I ended up sitting in his lap for the ride to the Cullen's house and he probably could've wrapped his arms around my waist twice! I wonder if Rosalie will mind that I sat in her husband's lap for all of five minutes. There wasn't anything sexual about the situation but it was either Emmett's lap or Carlisle's and I would've felt even weirder sitting in the doctor's lap. Of course if Marcus had seen this he would've had a heart attack but I felt perfectly safe the whole time. Other than the whole they want to suck my blood part, being with vampires is the safest place in the world for a klutz like me. Klutz's need constant care and attention to insure we don't injure ourselves too badly.

When we finally arrived at the Cullen's house everyone except Edward and I disappeared. I assumed they were all getting ready for the game but who knows? Edward led me around to the garage and I gasped. Sitting inside was a giant yellow jeep. It was monstrous! I can only assume it's Emmett's, it definitely suits him. Edward opened the passenger door for me but I looked up warily. If I jumped then maybe I could make it…I let out a sudden squeak as I was lifted into the jeep. Edward laughed behind me and then before I knew it he was in the driver's seat buckling me in. I noticed that he didn't wear a seat belt. Lucky vampire. I never got a chance to voice a complaint though because we were going through the woods and it was bumpy.

I sensed a change in Edward. He was all smiles and laughs today. I think he's all geeked up about the baseball game but I've never seen him like this before. Sure he's laughed and smiled at me before now but not with so much abandon. He's always been somewhat reserved before. I like this, I hope it never ends. I'm not that lucky.

Edward POV

I'm so excited to be out playing baseball again. I can't believe it's been so long since I've participated. What's even more exciting is that Ana will be able to see how my family relaxes and plays. Maybe this demonstration will finally scare some sense into her.

As I was driving to a spot in the woods to park I mused about my families reactions. I hadn't been prepared for how much they loved her. I had expected them to be cautious and reserved but instead they were taken with her from the moment she walked in the door. The only exception was Rosalie. I understand that she wants to protect me and that she's worried for me, but I think she's over doing it. This must be what Ana feels like with an overprotective brother and boyfriend. I need to work on that.

When we reached a small clearing I cut the engine. We weren't near the baseball clearing yet but I can't wait to run there. I helped Ana out of the jeep and watched as she looked around skeptically.

"I thought we were going to a baseball game. This looks a little cramped…" She has no idea what's in store for her. Running is one of my passions. I love the feel of the wind blowing through my hair and seeing the trees fly by. The speed is intoxicating and I've missed it so much. Now I get to share something from my world with Ana. Hopefully she does better than Bella did; I was so scared that first time when I thought she was going to pass out. The thought brought a faint smile to my lips.

Ana is not a very patient person. She seemed to be fed up with my silence and with a huff started randomly walking off. One of these days she's going to get herself killed! We're in the middle of a forest for crying out loud! I swiftly grabbed her arm to keep her from going any farther. I was extremely careful but Ana decided to be playful. She made a face of pain and pretended that I had ripped her arm off. Or that's what I thought she was acting out, it was hard to be a hundred percent certain. When I didn't laugh she stood up and pouted.

I kissed her cheek and proceeded to swing her onto my back. Now the fun begins.

Ana POV

So maybe it was mean to pretend my arm was being ripped off but I found it pretty funny. My friends back in Phoenix and I used to do stuff like that all the time to each other. Edward didn't laugh but instead kissed me and then did something totally unexpected. He swung me onto his back. I let out a small shriek. I couldn't help it what did he think he was doing! His arms locked around my thighs so I couldn't try to run the opposite direction. His only instruction was for me to hold on. Since I trust him I looped my arms around his neck as he let go of his hold on my legs and before I could say anything we were off.

It felt like we were flying. The trees blurred together into a constant blotch of green and brown with no definition. My hair was blown back and around my face, I'm sure it will be a mess when we stop. Edward's pace was steady, his breathing smooth and it seemed like he could run like this forever. I felt exhilaration as Edward let me glimpse a piece of his world that I could have only guessed at before. I kept my eyes open the whole time gazing at the blurs and at the back of Edward's neck. I definitely don't want to puke anytime soon.

Finally Edward stopped and it took me a couple of seconds to realize it. His breathing had never changed and the speed change was so smooth that I hadn't noticed. I climbed down a little stiff. Edward was all grins. He was practically glowing from happiness. I was so engrossed in staring at him that I never saw it coming.

In a flash Emmett was crushing me in a hug. I swear he came out of nowhere! I have a gut feeling that his new game is going to be 'Scare the crap out of Ana every available chance.' I know, I need to get him a cat collar with a little bell for Christmas! That way I can hear him coming! Well to say the least I yelled in surprise and Emmett just laughed. When Edward started laughing too I gave him my most vicious glare imaginable. His laughing died off fairly quickly but he never tried to help me out of Emmett's crushing embrace. Finally Carlisle took pity on me and reprimanded Emmett slightly, very, extremely slightly. After I was released Esme came over and escorted me to the playing field.

It was huge! The bases were at least twice the distance of a normal field and there was lots of green. Have I mentioned how much I hate green? I will never be able to look at that color the same ever again. The Cullen's picked teams and started warming up. Edward was slightly reluctant to leave my side but I was very clear about my age. I can take care of myself thank you very much. Once Esme finished explaining the teams and the strengths and weaknesses of both, the game began.

You know you want to review...press the cute little button!!! Also until I take over the world i don't own Twilight but i do own all four books and a giant poster of Edward!! ^_^
