We drove…and drove…and drove….
"Edward, WHERE are WE going?" I asked exasperated for the millionth time. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose with his thumb and pointer fingers.
"Bella, I really like you, but you are annoying the hell out of me. I'll let you know where we are when we get there. I want it to be a surprise. Please can you do that for me…you are my best friend." He pouted. I couldn't resist that sexy pout, or those green eyes.
"Fine." I huffed crossing my arms over my chest.
This had to be the weirdest time of my life. Just hours ago I was mad at Edward and now, here we are as best friends.
Apparently Edward was thinking the same thing because we both said…
"Life sucks." And then we burst out laughing.
"Wow, I never thought it would be this easy to be around someone I have only known for 3 weeks." Whispered Edward. I agreed.
"You know, we really don't know a lot about each other, so how about we play 20 questions to get to know each other." I suggested.
"Fine and I'll start." I was about to argue with him, but he asked his first question.
"I'll start out easy and then go deeper. What's your favorite color?" I thought about that for a moment and looked out my window.
"Come on it can't take that long to tell me your favorite color." He teased.
"…..maybe I started out too hard." He muttered loud enough for me to hear. I growled at him and hit him on the arm.
"Hey, careful, I'm driving." I looked out my window again and my eyes lit up.
"Brown."
"Brown?"
"Brown." I confirmed.
"Interesting choice and may I ask why?" I glared at him.
"Hey, only one question per turn." He held up one hand in surrender, well because he was driving. I smirked at his innocent face and put one finger under his chin.
"Aww…poor baby." I cooed and he blushed. I gasped and wasn't able to hold in the laughter that I was keeping inside of me.
"EDWARD MASEN BLUSHES! What is the world coming to?" I gasped in horror. His cheeks go redder.
"I thought we were only asking questions, not teasing me." He pouted. I still had my finger under his chin so I leaned in closer to him. I saw his eyes dart to the windshield and back every few seconds.
I leaned in until our lips were centimeters away.
"That's exactly what we're doing." I breathed. Edward's breathing picked up and he was getting nervous.
I pulled back abruptly and crossed my arms over my chest again and continued looking out the window.
"What…… was…..that?" Edward gaped. I had to admit, even though I told Edward I wanted to keep our relationship at a friendship base, I really want him to be more. I was flirting, and wasn't ashamed about it.
"Nothing. So what's your favorite color?" The question caught Edward off guard and I had to repeat it, this time I held my laughter in.
"Mine is blue and I'll explain why." He looked at me grinning.
"Blue looks wonderfully on you." I gave him a questioning look and then my eyes widened. The first day I met him in the dance studio. I blushed this time.
"See, I'm not the only one who blushes!" he explained, clearly proud of himself.
"Well I blush all the time, you don't." I concluded. This was going to be fun.
We got through at least 40 questions each before we made it to our destination.
"Ok, so on the way back, we get to each ask one question and that's it." Edward proposed. He held out his hand for me to shake and I shook it, agreeing with his terms.
After the agreement, Edward entwined our hands together. I felt the electric shock again, but I ignored it. He smiled at me and then led me to a building. I gave him a questioning look, but he ignored me.
He opened the door and motioned me to go first. I stepped in and looked at everything in awe.
The room was a dance studio, but it didn't look like a normal one that Edward and I practice in. The room had red walls and on the walls there were thousands of decorations. The decorations looked like children's drawings. Hanging from the ceilings were huge circular lanterns. In the center of the room were children dancing. Not bouncing up and down, but really dancing. Their backs were facing away from us.
"What are we here?" I whispered to Edward, not wanting to disturb the children. Edward signaled me to be quiet.
"Do you guys miss me?" Edward shouted. The kids jumped and turned around. They started squealing and rushed over to Edward.
"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, EDWARD!" they each screeched at different times. I giggled at the innocent faces while Edward was trying to explain why he was late.
"I just had a slight complication, nothing to worry you guys." He soothed and eventually then just let it go.
"Everyone, this is Bella, my dance partner on Dancing with the Stars." Every kid in the room looked over at me and I felt a little self-conscious of myself.
"She's so pretty." Murmured a little girl in front.
"She is." Edward agreed with her. One kid ran up to me with their mouth hanging open. He looked about 13.
"You're Bella Dwyer! The amazing singer! I LOVE YOUR SONGS!" squealed the little boy. I laughed.
"Yup, that's me."
"Ok everyone, let's leave Bella alone and begin practicing for the finals. Maybe if you do a good job, Bella can help you with the singing portion of the routine." Edward added and the kids ran and began to practice with Edward in front, showing them all the moves, while I continued to look around the room.
The room seems so familiar, but I couldn't put my mind on it. I sighed and sat down on the closest chair and watched the routine.
"Wow, look at this place." Exclaimed a 7 year old girl, as her 13 year old brother, rolled his eyes.
"Bella it's just a dance studio." He said. She gasped and stared at him in horror.
"Twilight Song and Dance Studio is the greatest place for people who want to be singers and dancers. Legends were discovered here!" she yelled at her brother and he put up 2 hands in surrender.
"Fine, let's go inside and see where these so called "legends" came from." He teased. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Funny." Sneered the boy.
They entered the building. The little girl was bouncing up and down in excitement. The boy was reaching out to reach the door knob. When he saw his sister's excitement he immediately thought of something.
He kept his hand up, but very slowly reached for the knob. The little girl's excitement wore off.
"COME ON AND OPEN THE DOOR!" The boy didn't listen and she pushed him out of the way. He grunted and stood behind her. She swung the door open and her eyes lit up.
"The beginning to an amazing life." She murmured as she walked over and stroked the wall. Her brother behind her was in awe too.
"Wow, Mom and Dad were right about this place. It's amazing." He whispered to himself and he watched his sister admire the room.
She bounced back over to her brother.
"Can I sign up? Can I….CAN I." she pouted.
"Well that's what Mom and Dad sent us here for, to sign you up." She squealed and hugged her brother tightly.
"YES!"

"Hello. You must be Isabella Swan. It nice to have you here." Said the owner of Twilight Dance and Song Studio. Bella smiled shyly with her hands behind her back.
"You can go and dance to whatever song, or play any instrument while you wait for everyone else to arrive." Bella jumped and walked over to the microphones. She tested it out by holding a note. She jumped when she heard her voice. It sounded like a chipmunk.
"Whoa, what was that Bella?" asked her brother. Bella shrugged and looked at the microphone curiously.
"Hey why don't you grab the other one and we'll sing together, bro." suggested Bella and her brother wasn't going to refuse.
Bella looked around and saw a piece of paper on a table. She walked over and read it.
Sun goes down,
I'm just getting' up,
I'm headed for the city of lights.
Radio blasting',
All the way to the club,
gonna rock this town tonight.
All of a sudden she heard music and looked up to see where it was coming from. Her brother had a sheepish look on his face.
"I found the radio." He was about to turn it off when Bella shouted.
"No, reset it back to the beginning. I found the lyrics." He complied and then they began singing together. They also danced some moves until they were synchronized.
Sun goes down,
I'm just getting' up,
I'm headed for the city of lights.

All the way to the club,

Bella began singing alone. She heard some voices in the background and turned to find 2 girls, a short, black haired one and a tall blonde one singing back up for her. They bother winked at Bella and she winked back.
You're living in a man's world,
They tell us.
But we ain't gonna buy it.
The thing's they're trying' to sell us, now.
Cause we're the girls of rock and roll
(Oooo!)
Yeah we're the girls of rock and roll.
Rock and roll.
Her brother took over and began dancing and singing. He had 2 backup singers also. A bronze haired boy and a blonde haired boy. They both smiled at Bella when they caught her looking at them.
Curtain's up,
And I'm ready to go,
My guitar is in my hand.
There's nothing' more that I'd rather do,
Than play in a rock and roll band.
What we have is what we will believe in,
Heading' for the top!
Don't you know?
We'll never stop believe in'!
Cause we're the boys of rock and roll,
(You better believe it, yeah~)
We're the boys or rock and roll.
Yeah, we're the boys of rock and roll.
They continued singing and dancing when they heard applause.
"Magnificent! These 2 are stars! And their related!" the owner said in awe.
"Isabella Swan and….what's your name boy?" Her brother answered.
"Emmett Swan….."
"Well you two will be a hit in the future."
I gasped and looked around. I knew where I was now and exactly what that dream was about. No, it wasn't a dream, it was a flashback. How come I never remembered it before?
I look up and met Edward's eyes and he held concern for me, but didn't come over to ask me what's wrong. He kept teaching the kids.
The other was….was that I never had a brother or else I would be contacting him because in the flashback it looked like we were pretty close.
Emmett…..apparently my brother's name was Emmett.
I remembered the day when Emmett found me in the park and I asked him if I was his sister, only he wasn't there anymore.
I had to get more evidence to be sure.
Just like I said before, I was a woman on a mission. This time I know what I'm looking for.
So I will give you guys time to read and review if you'd like and I will post the next chapter tomorrow since I'm still working on it. I PROMISE IT WILL BE OUT TOMORROW! Hope you enjoyed it! About the flashback (the italics)- Bella was remembering something from her past which will lead us to how she became a singer and how she finds out if Emmett is her brother or not. The flashback was also in Argentina where Bella and Edward currently are. That's why it looks so familiar to her. Next chapter- The double elimination round. UNFINISHED SECRETS! (You know the drill) REVIEW! (I accept annonymous!) *All you people who are being invisible right now show yourselves and review! It would be nice to see who is reading my story!
