SCHOOL ENDED TODAY! I'm so happy. Yay :)
I made a mistake yesterday, first I posted Chapter 19 twice (whoops), and then I accidentally wrote Renesmee's POV when it was supposed to be Edward's POV. I corrected it, thanks to the people who pointed it out to me.
So, the world was supposed to end today...well, I'm here so I'm guessing people were wrong. Just because the Aztecs stopped writing the calendar when they got to 21/12/12.
Maybe their hands just got tired from writing on those huge wheel of theirs. Or they got bored and thought 'I wander what would happen if we just stopped here...'.
WE'RE UP TO 219 REVIEWS! I love you guys to the moon and back... a billion times! That's like...8 billion days! Wow. Thanks to BrtAg1209 for being my 200th reviewer! I am still having trouble believing that I have this many reviews...:)
My goal is now 225 (which we'll definitely hit) - 250 (which is slightly less unlikely). Keep reviewing! You seriously have no idea how much it means to me.

Chapter Twenty-One
Wizards and Winning
Renesmee's POV
"Renesmee!" I heard mommy scream from upstairs. I hurtled towards the sound of her voice.
I ran into to mom's room and saw her kneeling on the floor, praying (lifting both her arms up and down).
"Uh, mommy. What are you doing?" I sat down beside her.
"I won," she turned around to grin at me.
"Won what?!" I said, excitedly.
"2 tickets to-drum roll please." I hit myself repeatedly on my thighs. "the Wizard of Oz!"
I screamed and jumped in the air. The Wizard of Oz is my favourite movie EVER! "Oh my god!" I was still jumping up and down. Mommy got up, grabbed both of my hands and jumped with me. "When is it?"
Mommy stopped jumping and walked over to her computer. She read the email on her screen for a second, then turned back to me. "Today!"
"How is that possible? Wouldn't they have told you beforehand?" What sort of company tells people who have won tickets to musicals, the day of the show? Not a very good one.
"No, um..." mommy trailed off. I narrowed my eyes.
"What did you do?"
"The email was sent one month ago..." she grinned sheepishly.
"You didn't check your email for a month?!" I screeched.
Her eyes darted around the room, trying to come up with an excuse. "Why are we standing around talking about this? We need to get to New York!"
"New York?!" I pulled at my hair.
"It's okay," mommy was running around the room, throwing stuff into a bag. "We can run. It won't take that long."
"What time is the show?"
"Seven thirty." mommy threw herself down on the bed, closed her eyes and put her hands over them.
"Come on then!" I pulled at her arm. "We need to get to the big Apple!"
"What's this about Apples?" daddy walked into the room looking puzzled. He took in mommy's still form on the bed, and sat down beside her.
"We're going to New York!" I squealed excitedly.
"We are?" daddy raised his eyebrows.
"Not you." mommy mumbled, and sat up. "Just me and Ness. I won a contest."
"And you only just found out about the tickets? Are you sure the show is today?" He was confused, that could be seen from his face.
"Yeah, I forgot to check my email again." she said quietly.
Daddy rolled his eyes, and punched mommy's shoulder playfully.
Mommy suddenly disappeared. There was a yell from the kitchen. "I need some more of those brownies again for the trip! Ness is going to need food!" Daddy chuckled.
We heard more footsteps hurtling downstairs.
"I'm on it!" Esme yelled. We both chuckled this time.
An hour later, my backpack was full of brownies, crisps, cereal bars, my rubix cube, pyjamas (the show ends late) and my new pumps from my advent calendar (link in profile). I was wearing trainers to run, in case it was muddy. But, of course, I couldn't wear trainers to the theatre.
Daddy appeared at the bottom of the stairs. I ran to him and he enveloped me into a hug. "Keep safe." he mumbled into my shoulder.
"Of course I will, daddy. Mommy will be there." I smiled.
He pulled away, kissed my cheek and stood up. He walked up to mommy, and kissed her tenderly on the lips. I turned away in disgust, wrinkling my nose. Daddy's acting like we're going for weeks. It's a few hours!
"Overreaction!" I sung.
"Oh, shh." mommy turned around to look at me. She kissed daddy one last time, and I pulled my backpack on. I ran over to mommy, grabbed her hand and we both waved to our family. Daddy, grandma, grandpa, Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett were all here to see us off. Jake was at some tribe meeting. He'd find out soon enough that I wasn't in Forks. I hope daddy tapes his reaction...ha.
"Be careful!" daddy warned us. "The world is supposed to end today." I giggled and we took off running.
After about half an hour, I let go of mommy's hand and took off my backpack (still running). I unzipped it, fumbled about for a bit and finally found the tub of brownies. Mommy was at my side, and she held out her hand for the backpack so I could open the tub. We were doing all of this while running, it's second nature to us (as daddy says). I handed her my bag, opened the tub and pulled out a gooey brownie. I put the lid back on, and reached out for my bag. I stuffed the tub back in, and threw it on to my back.
We carried on sprinting to New York. Every so often, I would select something else from my bag to eat. Yum.
A few hours later, we were strolling through the streets of New York.
"This place is awesome!" I breathed. "I can't believe daddy's missing this."
"He's been here many a time." mommy laughed.
We rounded a corner, and we saw a huge sign that read 'Wizard of Oz'.
"There it is!" I screeched, and pointed towards it.
"Right, it's only five, so we can go and get you some dinner, then go to the theatre. We'll pick a restaurant near here." mommy said.
We ended up eating at Pizza Express. I love pepperoni, pineapple and sweet-corn pizza.
It was seven by the time I finished (I also had pudding, and we were in no hurry).
We arrived at the theatre once again, and people were already queuing up for the show.
When we managed to get in, mommy bought me a programme, a mug and a top. I changed into it in the bathroom. When I came out, mommy was flicking through the programme, looking at the cast list.
"This looks really good." she grinned. "I can't wait!
"Me neither." I slipped my hand into hers. Just then, a voice rang through the theatre:
"The seven-thirty showing will be starting in ten minutes. Please make your way to your seats."
"That's our cue." mom smiled, and led me up to the dress circle.
The performance was absolutely amazing. As I thought it would be. Nobody hit even one bum note.
By the time the lights came up for intermission, I was bouncing up and down in my seat.
"This is so good!" I grabbed mommy's hand. "Thanks so much for taking me!"
"My pleasure honey." mommy smiled.
Once the performance had ended, it was ten at night: way past my bed-time. I barely registered the run home. Mommy carried me like a baby the whole way.
However, I was slipping in and out of consciousness, so when we arrived home, I heard mom and dad's conversation. Daddy was waiting in the lounge.
"Bella." I heard daddy whisper.
"Renesmee is asleep."
"I'll take her up to bed. Hang on a second." I vaguely registered myself being transferred to my daddy. He ran smoothly up the stairs, placed me on my bed and slipped me out of my socks, shoes and coat. Mommy had thought ahead, and I got dressed in my pyjamas in the theatre bathroom before we left. Good thing, because I would definitely have to wake up if I had to change.
"Goodnight ,my darling." daddy kissed me on my forehead, and I slipped into a deep slumber: finally succumbing to the sleep that was pulling me in.
I hope you enjoyed! I watched Arthur Christmas for the first time today: awesome!
It is so nearly Christmas! I can't believe I have nearly completed a second story. :) Yay!
I'll see you guys tomorrow! I'm off to my grannies house for a gingerbread house making contest. I'm going to OWN it. Wish me luck.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Please, please review and get me up to 250 before Christmas day.
Much love (you get some of Esme's amazing brownies if you do! Maybe...)
