Things between Paul and I have become less awkward, thankfully. We're talking more and have been finding more interesting things to talk about, somehow. I think it's a miracle. Anyways, Shay has started to let the boys do their own thing. It seems like they've finally settled into the house and have gotten really comfortable around everyone. Shay told me about them calling her Mom for the first time since they've been here and I'm happy for her.

So, I'm sitting outside of the Cullen house on the porch, reading a book, right? Nothing out of the ordinary. It's been a pretty slow day so far. The kids were in school, Shay was baking cupcakes, Carlisle was at work, Sparkles, Bella, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Esme were off doing their own things. Okay, I'm sitting here reading, minding my own business. When all of the sudden, Benji and Dorian show up out of nowhere. I mean, literally nowhere. I didn't hear them running up to me or walking up to me, nothing. They were just suddenly there, standing right next to me on the porch. I dropped my book, losing my place as I did, in surprise. "Benji, Dorian? How did you guys get here?" I asked the two, wide-eyed. "Aren't you supposed to be napping?" Dorian looked at me wide-eyed.

"Twouble?" I shook my head.

"No, you're not in trouble. I just want to know how you got here so fast."

"We don't know." Benji muttered, shyly.

"We were playing and then we're outside." Dorian said shrugging. Hm... they couldn't have just teleported, could they?

"What's going on?" Shay asked joining us. She had an apron on and it was covered in flour. She was shocked to see Dorian and Benji out here. "I thought you two were in your room..."

"Twouble?" Dorian asked pouting. She smiled.

"No, Mommy's just surprised is all." She and I shared a look.

"Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" I asked her grinning. She gave me a weird look, before nodding.

"Yeah, we'll have to talk to Carlisle when he gets home." She said sighing. Just another abnormality to add to our 'normal' family. If they really did teleport, then it may be the reason why I feel so connected to them. But I don't understand how that works exactly... Maybe Carlisle will know.

Anyways, so after all of that craziness, Shay put the two down for a nap and I was left to looking for my spot in my book that I had dropped. I was getting a little frustrated when I couldn't find it, so I eventually just gave up on it. I eventually got around to stealing a cupcake from Shay while she was distracted with the oven before planting my butt in front of the TV. Since no one is watching it and I'm bored out of my mind, I guess I'll see what's on. Knowing my luck, there won't be anything I'm interested in. Just as I knew it would, I couldn't find anything to watch on TV, so I tried Netflix. By the time I started getting settled into Supernatural, Sparkles walked into the room. He snorted. "You actually watch that?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I? Just because it's fake, it doesn't mean it's not entertaining." He rolled his eyes.

"So I heard about the boys 'appearing' outside earlier."

"Yeah, it was almost as if they teleported." I said sighing and pausing the episode.

"Do you think that's why you feel so connected to them?"

"I don't know. It doesn't really make any sense. They're human..."

"Yes, but it has been reported that some humans can possess abilities like those." Sparkles said thoughtfully.

"I guess so," I said frowning. "I mean, I'll definitely keep myself open-minded." He shrugged.

"Where's Punk?"

"She was in the kitchen making cupcakes, but I think she went up to check on Benji and Dorian." He nodded, before going up the stairs. I turned back to the TV and hit play. About two hours later, after watching two episodes, I was interrupted again. Only this time, it was Shay coming in with Jade. Is it that time already?

"Can I have a cupcake, Mommy?" Jade asked eagerly.

"No, those are for your classmates. I have some sandwich stuff in the fridge if you want it." She pouted.

"Okay, I'll have a sandwich." Wow, I'm surprised she didn't throw a fit about it. 'What's her deal?' I mouthed to Shay. She shrugged and followed her daughter into the kitchen. Jasper walked down the stairs, with Dorian and Benji in each arm.

"Kitchen," I said before he could ask.

"Thank you,"

"No prob, Bob." He just gave me a weird look before shaking his head and going into the kitchen. Finally, I was so bored, I decided to text Paul and see what he was up to.

Do you have any plans tonight? I text him.

No, what are we doing tonight? I grinned.

What we do every night, Pinky! Try and take over the world!

Okay?

Want to go have some dinner or something?

Sure, but I'm a little low on cash.

It's no problem! I can cover you. You can decide where to eat then. It took him a few minutes before he text me back.

Well, there's this Italian restaurant in Port Angeles that I've been wanting to try out.

Sounds good to me! Does 6:30 sound okay to you?

Yeah, I'll come pick you up at 6:30.

Okay, see you at 6:30! ;)

I love you. I blinked. I wasn't expecting that. I mean I know he imprinted on me and everything and the more time I've spent with him, my feelings for him has grown. And yet, I still didn't expect that...

I love you too. I felt proud of myself to actually tell him that. I know I just texted him that and it's probably harder to say it out loud, but for me to text him those words, that's like a major accomplishment. I don't think I've ever said them to Emmett and now that I think about it, I kind of feel a little bad about it. But, I also realized that I didn't really like him as much as I thought I did and that makes me feel worse. Way to go, Pyper! Making yourself feel horrible about something that happened over two weeks ago and you don't even feel much hurt from it because you got imprinted on by a gray fluff ball.

"Having fun scolding yourself?" Sparkles asked looking amused as he entered the living room.

"Yes, because that's how I like to enjoy my days." I said rolling my eyes. He chuckled.

"Well, I'm glad to see you've finally found something to do. I don't think I would've been able to stand hearing that show any longer." He said rolling his eyes.

"Well, I've got some time before I need to be getting ready. So, instead of watching Supernatural, I'll watch Animaniacs instead." I said smirking.

"And what in the world is that?" He asked, looking like he really didn't want to know.

"Oh, just a cartoon about some zany to the max characters." I said grinning. I can't wait to get the theme song stuck in my head. He glared at me.

"You better not,"

"Sorry, Sparkles, but I can't make any promises. The tune is just so catchy, that I can't help but sing along with it." He groaned. I started humming it as I flipped through Netflix to find it. When I finally found it, I couldn't help but giggle a little to myself. Despite the fact that I'm slightly more mature now than I was before, I still enjoy a good cartoon. After about an hour of this, I had to get up and get ready for Paul and I's date. That was a weird thought. Oh well. Sparkles had left ten minutes into the first episode of Animaniacs and I had already gotten the theme song stuck in my head, like I knew I would. It didn't help that I knew all the words to it too. Anyways, I decided to wear my Slytherin Quidditch shirt, a pair of nice jeans, and my black converse. Yep, that's how I dress up to go out on a date. At the last minute though, I decided to change my shirt and put on a nicer shirt. It was just a plain blue tee shirt, though. I have a feeling that if Shay or Alice saw me leaving with my Slytherin Quidditch shirt, then they'd force me to change my shirt anyways. I kept humming the Animaniacs theme song until Paul got here.
