A/N:This has got to be my quickest update ever- thanks to my great reviews! Ok, so that chapter was really short. So to make for it, here's a longer one.

Disclaimer: Now really. If I owned Twilight, would I be here,telling this story to everyone? No. Instead, I'd be celebrating the fact that I could write such a great story.

Jasper had opened his small bag...which contained...

"Cameras !" my jaw dropped disbelievingly.

Edward looked down at me. "To take pictures with, Bella," he patiently explained.

I scowled. "I know what cameras do. I just..." I shook my head. "So how many are there?"

"8. One for each of us." Now he sounded like he was talking to a 3-year old, voice teasingly patronizing.

My scowl became more pronounced. "That was a rhetorical question." I glared at him.

He just smirked. Oooh, over-confident, handsome vampires really got on my nerves...

Jasper grinned widely at everybody's shocked reactions, and began to toss a camera at everyone. Of course, me being Bella Swan, I fumbled with the one he'd thrown to me, and proceeded to drop it. Before it could hit the floor, however, a pale hand flashed out and caught it.

Of course that hand belonged to Edward Cullen.

He smiled his breathtaking crooked smile, which naturally took my breath away, and carefully handed the camera back to me, placing it square in my hands so I couldn't drop it so easily.

"Thanks," I beamed, all annoyance forgotten. Then I asked reprovingly, "We're not allowed to have these, are we?"

His grin widened, showing all his perfectly white teeth. "Nope. But no one else needs to know about them. In fact, noe one even knows about us having these cameras right now."

I looked back over my shoulder. Indeed, no one had seemed to notice Jasper's audacious camera-tossing. But I guess I wasn't that surprised. Vampires.

Edward continued, "And as long as no one uses flash, we'll be perfectly --"

He stopped abruptly, and I instantly knew why. To my far left, I'd seen a flash of light go off somewhere...

Emmett cursed. "What the ----! I thought I turned flash off!" he growled, fiddling with the buttons on the camera. I sighed. Things could get hectic with him around.

"Put it down!" Edward and Rosalie hissed together, seeing Emmett's camera high in the air as he attempted to fix it. Then Alice added, "The security guard's coming! Hand your cameras to Rosalie!"

I was puzzled. "Rosalie? Why Rosalie ? But no one answered. Instead, Edward yanked the camera from my hands, and rapidly passed it down the row to his sister.

In one short second, Rosalie had collected all 8 cameras. She then hid them somewhere I couldn't see, just before the burly guard came around.

"Excuse me, but I happened to notice a flash around here. Are any of you phtographing this event? If so, then we'll have to confiscate your camera for later--"

Rosalie interrupted him. "None of my family has cameras with them." Her voice was intentionally smooth and silky, and I now understood why she had been the one to hide the cameras. "We didn't notice any flashes. I'm sure you're looking in the wrong direction." She casually flicked her hair back.

The guard seemed dazed, but to his credit, persisted, saying, "Miss, I believe we have several witnesses..."

Rosalie cut him off again. "Sir, I assure you, we don't have any cameras with us."

With that, the guard seemed thoroughly convinced, and muttered, "Huh. Guess you're right. Must've been somewhere else..." as he stumbled away, tripping as he did so.

As soon as he was gone and we were done laughing, the cameras reappeared from their mysterious hiding place. This time, Esme warned us to turn off flash before taking any pictures.

I had no idea how to turn it off. I asked Edward beside me, who directed me into pushing certain buttons, but I only ended up taking several unidentifiable pictures of my feet. Then finally, after watching my pathetic performance with deep amusement and suppressed laughter, he sighed and retreived the gadget from me. With one push of a button, there was a beep, and the words "Flash Off" showed up on the LCD screen. I blushed at my obvious lack of skills around cameras, while he handed mine back to me and gave me a small kiss. I turned a new shade a red, while he smirked again at his dazzling abilities.

Meanwhile, the show had half-stopped. Numerous people were leaned forward in their seats, watching the Cullens and I (luckily, we were in the front row, and our cameras were in our lap, so no one saw them), with interest, while the magician tried to vain to regain (that rhymes!) their attention. It didn't work, so he finally gave up and continued with the show.

Fortuantely, not much had happened during our lack of attention. Overall, the whole camera/guard interruption had been brief, and with the Wizard trying to get the audience's attnetion, the show had slowed. I snickered at the thought that only the Cullens could distract people and stop and whole show so easily.

However, the crowd eventually shifted their attention back to the magician, and he brightened as he noticed this. Striding over to the center of the stage, he declared in an important tone, "The next several tricks will be solo mini-tricks. However short they are, they are extremely difficult to master."

My eyebrows went up. His self-promotion wasn't impressive.

But what was impressive was that, a few moments later, he began to pull flags from his mouth! My chin hit the floor. Geez, that string of flags must've been at least 5 feet by now! I scrutinized him, searching for the factor that was making this seem so real, but I didn't find one. Pulling red, green, and blue flags out of his mouth, he kept going for a while.

Click click click. I became aware of the sound of many rapid clickings. Looking left, I saw Alice, Rosalie, and Esme all taking pictures on their cameras, pushing the photo button at an almost inhuman speed! They were totally awestruck. However, the men only looked slightly amused- slightly amused at their wives' sudden photo obession, not at the trick itself.

Except Edward. At the moment, he was staring intensely straight ahead, and nodding. I shrugged. He was obviously "talking" to one of his family members. I didn't want to disturb him, though I was curious to know whom he was conversing with. But then, I saw Carlisle raise and eyebrows and let out a small chuckle, and I knew.

Then as the Wizard pulled the last triangular piece of plastic out, the crowd burst into thunderous applause. He bowed deeply, and again, the only thing I could think of was wondering how his hat stayed on his head and didn't fall off.

"Edward," I nudged him when he was done talking. "Why isn't that hat falling off when he bows?"

He laughed outright, then answered more seriously, "I'm not quite sure Bella. But perhaps we'll find out soon enough." He winked playfully.

"What --," I began to ask, baffled at what he'd just said, but then the audience grew silent as the next trick started, so I decided to ask him later.

The Wizard continued on with several "mini-tricks", from producing a bouquet of flowers out of nowhere, to floating a glass vase in midair (hey that rhymes too!). With each new stunt, I became more and more amazed, and I'm sure it was evident on my face, because Edward leaned in and softly murmured in my ear, "Bella, you can't honestly be that drawn in? Tricks have a way of repeating themselves. Even I've seen some of these a few times."

I glared up at him, then instantly lost my train of thought as I looked into his golden eyes. Luckily, he wasn't breathing on me, at least, so I was finally able to come up with a coherent sentence. "I've never been to a magic show before," I explained. "This is the first time I've ever seen these stunts, so of course I'm drawn in."

Edward's eyes widened in surprise. "This is really your first time seeing all these?" As I nodded, he suddenly grinned wickedly. "Well then, I guess we'll have to make this a memorable experience for you."

I gulped. The Cullens and the phrase "memorable experience" made me more than a little nervous. I didn't want to think about what plan he had in mind.

It was lucky I didn't, for I couldn't have guessed what he and the others did do anyway.

Then the magician, through with his first tricks, announced, "I'm now going to do some different kinds of tricks...but I'll need assistants for these! Now, who would like to be first?"

Immediatly, hands shot up everywhere. People were standing up and moving around all over the place, hoping to be noticed and picked.

However, the Wizard's gaze fell to the first row.

"Why don't you come up?" he gestured...

...to Alice.

Edward was right. This certainly was going to be a memorable experience.

However, if I thought that just Alice going up was a "memorable experience"...then that day, I had several memories to carry home with me.

A/N: Hurray for quick updates! But I have bad news: I can't really update much after this chapter. I need to pack, and clean the house, and all that stuff, before I leave tomorrow. So the next few chapters...will have to wait. :( Sorry. Please review though! They totally make my day:)

Wish me luck in Hong Kong!
