He put released me from his huge arms. A Grinch-ly grin slowly spread on his face. "Let's go out to celebrate!" he said, once again getting all excited. It got to be a bit much when he started jumping up and down, practically making the house shake.

I suddenly remembered something of me and Edward's childhood. "Edward? Whatever happened to Tanya?" I asked.

He smiled a little. "She 'mysteriously' ran away," he said, being as innocent as possible with a guilty smile on his face.

"So it's set then," Alice said. I looked over at her.

"What's set?" I asked.

"Where we're celebrating you coming back silly!" she said. "Thanks for the distraction, Edward."

"No problem?" he said, but it came out as a question.

"Everyone into their cars! Me and Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, and Edward and Bella." Alice said, rushing out the door with Jasper in tow.

"You kids go, I have work early in the morning," Charlie said, walking out the door, "Have a nice time, Bells!"

"Bye Dad!" I shouted after him, as I walked out the door with Edward in tow. I stopped, and let him walk ahead of me, since I don't know where we're going. He led me to a silver, shiny, Volvo. I looked in amazement.

"Oooo! Shiny!" I said, reaching to touch it.

"Don't touch it!" Edward said quickly. My hand was inches from the car as he said that.

I pulled my hand back slowly. "Sorry. I like shiny things." I said as I climbed in the Volvo. He nodded, a grin on his face. "So, where we going?" I asked, after a few minutes.

"I don't really know, I'm just following Alice." he said. He looked at me for a minute with a sarcastic grin. "You had to go and be Miss Chatty-Pants and make me miss everything."

"Speaking of which, what did you mean by 'mysteriously'?" I asked.

"The day when you came over, and she bit you, after you went home, I kicked her outside without a second thought." he said.

"Oh," I said, not sure of how to respond. Just then, Alice decided to pull into a parking spot. Guess we're here, wherever 'here' is. Edward opened my door for me, and we walked into a little restaurant called La Bella Italia. Alice led us to a big booth in the back. We took our seats, and talked about what happened in the last 9 years.

"Bellaaaa!" Alice said, dragging my name out, "you need to go shopping with Me and Rose."

"It'd be my pleasure. I don't want to ever wear a school uniform again. It'll be nice to get some new clothes. Except for anything plaid! Ugh!" I said. Apparently Alice liked plaid, because she huffed and made a disapproved face.

Just then, a russet colored waiter with black hair came to ask us our drinks. He was very tall and built. He looked vaguely familiar. No, it can't be him. Must I re-meet everyone today?

You all know who it is.


I Luv you guys so much!
