Only the OC's belong to me, the rest belong to Stephenie Meyer. Thanks for the Reviews.

The city came into view,or its lights did. Lights were usually magical and exciting, in the depths of night. Here there was more a theme of rococo kitch; it was a style all its own.

They drove down a street in the dead of night, which was lit up enough to make it seem day, and she outshone the lot. He slipped his arm around her and asked her "Are you sure? Not just doing this with me... but like this?" he said softly to her

Rose rolled her eyes, "Its the only way I am getting a shag tonight, right?" she said almost retorically.

"My resolve has almost slipped a few times.." he said

"Good job we had tissues in the car" she quipped, he shot her a look

"As, I was saying, I think its important" he said

"Born in a different era, and dont we know it" Rose said, teasingly "Actually I think its, romantic, in its own twisted way" she chuckled, she pulled him close and kissed him. "So the drive through or the Elvis theme?" she asked

"Not the drive through, I want you to dress up for me" he said

"Kinky" she chuckled

"I didnt mean it like that, and you know it... well not yet at least" he replied. She raised an eyebrow, and smiled a little.

"Well, well, isn't this a whole new side to the pure Edward Cullen, and one I think I am rather going to like." she said with a smile on her lips

"I do hope that I don't disappoint..." he said a little nervously. Rose leaned close so her breath warmed his neck.

"Oh I know you wont" she said.. as they reached a hotel, they checked in and the details were all to easy to arrange. This was vegas after all. Edward always thought marriage was vital, solemn and sacred, standing in vegas in a tacky wedding chapel, with a person dressed as Elvis conducting the ceremony, and strangers as witnesses, might seem as if it would be the opposite of everything he thought marriage was, but he found it wasn't. All that mattered was that he was saying these words to Rose, and she, was miraculously saying them back. He couldn't stop smiling, she looked so beautiful, in white lace. Then in an instant it was done, she was his, and he was more hers than he could have ever thought possible. He felt alive, and saved and quite lost in something so much bigger and more epic than himself; he was lost in 'them'. Before the minister could say to kiss her their lips were one. Then they were in the Honeymoon suite, and never had not needing sleep been such a blessing.

They didnt leave the room for four days.. It was an education Edward would never forget, and was passion, and wildness that neither had ever known before, they became seared together as one, not just in physical abandon and passion... though there was that in shapes... hearts.. diamonds.. to stretch the metaphor to breaking point, or should that be taking a club to it... But they talked, soon realizing they had talked to no one else that way before, and on thinking that one neon lit evening, they suddenly were just looking into each others eyes, and realizing what this had turned into.

Eventually though they had to leave Vegas, everyone has to, its not a place to stay, and stay sane. So they packed up their few things, a few more things than they arrived with and without speaking about where they were going, just naturally were soon driving back to the mountains to feed, and walk in the familiar woods around Fork, they sat in a secret meadow, Rose in Edwards arms, "I think we should go to the family lawyer, and get new identities, and go on a long honeymoon, I mean we would have to move on even without the family rifts.. " Rose said

Edward looked thoughtful "Well... we could, of course, the family probably will come around soon, you know" he said, almost hopefully. Rose looked at him in wonder, how had he remained so niave for so long, she pondered, it could be infuriating, she was sure, Edward and his absolutes, but just now, in this instant, she rather liked it. After all it was all based on how, he so sincerely believed what they had was so right and irresistable. She was so flattered by that, against her will she might add, that she completely changed her mind of slapping his arm, for being so wet about the other Cullens. He smiled at her, knowing that too.

He blamed it on her distracting him and habit, but he was thinking her, warm against him as they drove, to realize that he had driven home, well to the Cullen house, instead of the family lawyers.

He felt a dull ache of homsesickness as he looked at the place, all white and glass, as if it had nothing to hide. That was a lie, but one of the many in there. It wasn't really home anymore either. He was a little surprised to hear movement inside, the Cullen's it seemed were back in residence, and he could hear Alice's thoughts. She was worrying, a lot.

He let out an unhappy groan, he didn't want to get sucked into this, but Alice had seen something big in her visions. "We should have stayed in Vegas" he said to Rose, he looked over at her questioning look "Or at least exited it in the opposite direction, coming back here... Alice sees people dying." he informed her.

To his surprise Rose let out a derisory snort, "Alice always sees people dying... thats what people do, eventually." she said matter of factly. She shifted so she wasn't leaning against his body so distractingly. "Ok, I know, Mr Decent, always doing the right thing! we will go in and hear them, and this vision out, but I am commiting to no more than that" she seemed to reluctantly conceed. "But don't forget I know there is the other Edward Cullen, the one you even pretend to yourself there isn't, the Edward Cullen that runs off to Vegas, and rebels against things... I rather like that Edward Cullen, you know" she said planting a kiss on his lips, "So don't think I am going to let you become the vampire equivelent of a doormat, without me kicking you in the head!" she warned

"If I am a doormat, surely my head is ideally positioned for that?" he quipped. She shot him a look, that he knew he should take note off.

"Yes, I guess it would be, so would other parts of your anatomy.. well in theory, though if you willingly lie down, I suspect those things would be already lacking." she teased

"I have them" He said, in mockingly offended toned. Rose moved her hand to his crotch, as if to check that statement.

"Oh so you do." she chuckled "Lets both remember that." she said as they linked arms and walked back into the Cullen house. When they saw Carlise and Alice's faces they knew things were going to be very bad indeed...
