Nikki woke up with a happy smile the next morning. The sun was shining in through her little bedroom window, and tiny happy birds were flittring about among the branches of the big tree her house was a part of. (Kind of like Winnie the Pooh's house.) She pushed the dogs down from her bed and went to have a cup of apple tea in the kitchen. After getting dressed, she headed down to the lake to catch some fish for breakfast.

Dumbledore was over at the Cullens' house and talking about what they were going to do catch Snape while Edward was on holidays.

"He will always return to the scene of the crime," Dumbledore resonnated wisemanly. "Because it was his future self that unleashed this tragedy in our recent past."

"Does he lose his wizard powers when he became a vampire?" asked Carlisle. "Or does he just become more mowerful?"

"He increased his might as both a wizard and a vumpire," Dumbledore reflected. "Just like Edward became a more powerful vampire when he was turned wizard."

"That is not good news," said Carlisle worried.

"Indeed," said Gandalf. "Now we need to establish what personal victory he could have for this crime. And then we can stop him in the future from making the trip back to that fateful day."

"But it already happened," said Esme. "So how can we stop the past from happening by stopping the future."

"When we stop him from exploding the nuclear power station, we get a new past where it didn't happen," Dumbledore explained with teaspoons. "We'll all be transported over into a parallell universe where we take up residence within our happier selves, and we forget this ever happened."

"OWWWWWWW my ass!" Edward shouted from the bathroom.

"That sounds like a lovely perception," Carlisle intervened. "But what about this Vaughn bloke?"

"The Doctor will deal with him," said Dumbledore.

Out in the yard, Dimitri was busy taking apart Peter's pick-up. There had been a funny sound in it, and Dimitri was worried the car had been rigged. It was now in 897907 pieces all over the neatly cropped lawn. Suddenly a big black dog came running. It became Jacob, and he was naked.

"What are you doing?" Dimitri asked suspiciously. "I don't think Bella will take you back just because you're parading around her home with your penis on display."

"Put this in their car!" Jacob hissed and handed Dimitri a bug. (The kind spies use, not an insect.)

"What are you playing at, mate?" Dimitri asked. "This here is just Peter's truck. He uses it to take produce to the market. I'm not going to help you spy on him just because he likes Bella."

"No, you twerp!" Jacob said impatiently. "THEIR car! You know! The tour bus!"

"I can't do that!" Dimitri replied. He was a bit amused by the knowledge that Jacob kept returning to get his ass in trouble. "It's illegal, and I can only take orders from Harry Pearce and Lucas."

"Fine, I'll do it myself then!" said Jacob and turned back into dog.

Nikki came by riding on Raven. Esme let her have the horse at the castle, so Uncle Goober couldn't hurt her. It had been a real relief.

"Hi, sexy," she said, as she dismounted and walked over to Dimitri.

"Hi yourself!" he replied in his sexy London accent. "How's life?"

"Good!" said Nikki. "Listen... The Doctor came over to talk to Dad yesterday, and he wants us to follow Vaughn's band in the Tardis. We're going to time travel to each of their concerts and see what has happened. Then we go back and use the information to try and catch Spane, or get Vaughn red handed."

"Awesome!" said Dimitri. "I'm in!"

They looked at each other in silence for a moment, and it was about to get awkward when Dimitri pulled her closer. They shared their first kiss in the radiating summer sun, as the roses bloomed and the waves rolled lazily against the shores of Loch Ness.

"Now we're official, I guess," said Dimitri.

"I think we should keep it secret for a little while," said Nikki. "Because we may not be allowed to go in the Tardis together if Harry and Dad knows."

Suddenly there was an awful commotion in the other end of the garden. Everyone ran there to see Emmett dragging Jacob out of the garage by his

"Haven't I told you to stay away from Bella and my little brother?" Emmett growled like the grizzly bears that made up most of his diet (But in Scotland he had to eat fish).

"Oww, let me go!" Jacob growled as he was being dragged along the pebble. "I've just been in a coma, show some respect, Cullen!"

"Piss off, werewolf!" gnarled Emmett.

ankles. Jacob turned back into a wolf and ran into the forest snarling. He turned to growl at Emmett a couple of times.

"He's going to be a problem," said Nikki.

"Nah, I'll deal with him," said Emmett self-confidencely. "I'm coming along as body guard."

Meanwhile Bella was giving Edward pity-sex to sooth his pain. She was faking it sensually, and Edward was exessively gratificated. Edward had sound-proofed the room and installed sooted windows so that nobody else could watch them screw.

The next morning they were off, heading towards their first venue which was Glasgow.
