Leah placed the phone on the receiver slowly as her mind raced through what just happened. Emily stood by a happy smile plastered on her face. It had been such a happy surprise to find Leah at her front door. After so long that her favorite cousin hating her, it was a dream to have her come see her.

"What happened?" Emily asked as she approached Leah slowly. It was a well-known fact that Leah's temper was almost as bad as Paul's now a days. Leah may have come to Emily for advice but that might not mean she wasn't angry with her.

"I...have a date" Leah answered with a look between confusion and glee. Janet had said yes to a date with her and Leah was happy about it. This was all so weird to Leah that she didn't know how to feel at all.

"That's great, right?" Emily asked and sat down beside Leah who was staring at the floor as if it was the greatest mystery in the world.

"Yeah I guess but...where am I going to take her? Where do you take a vampire on a date to?" Leah asked and threw her head back against the couch they sat on. How had she let Emily talk her into asking Janet out to get to know each other better?

"Well you say she likes different cultures and societies. Why not take her to the bon fire?" Emily suggested as the first thing popped into her head. She was remembering all the fun she has had in the past at the pack bon fires.

"The pack would eat her alive Emily you know that." Leah got up and began to pace back and forth.

"Where else can I take her? Besides there won't be a bonfire for a while because of that army. Oh my God! What was I thinking asking her out in the middle of a battle like this?" Leah ranted as she raked her hands through her hair.

"Take her to your place" Emily suggested from her seat on the couch.

"Are you crazy? My mother would have a heart attack" Leah spun around to stare at Emily like she grew a second head.

"Not your house, your secret place by the cliffs. It should be a clear night so it'll be romantic and private" Emily clarified with a slow smile gracing her face.

"That's not…" Leah began to protest but then paused as she really thought about it.

"Not what?" Emily asked with a sly smirk on her face.

"Not a bad idea" Leah finished without noticing Emily's smug look. She had some things to do before she went to pick Janet up.

"Where are you going?" Emily asked as she followed Leah to the front door.

"I have somethings to prepare. Meet me at my house in an hour." Leah declared as she quickly jogged out of Emily's house and into the woods.

"That crazy girl" Emily sighed as she watched her cousin disappear.

Janet was jumping and twirling around the room. Everyone watched her with smiles on their faces. Jasper couldn't help but smile at the joy that seeped from his daughter. He had never seen her so happy.

"Where is she taking you?" Esme asked from her seat next to Carlisle.

Janet froze and her eyes went wide as she realized something.

"OH MY GOD! I have a date. My first date. I don't know anything about dating. What do I do? What do I wear?" While she ranted, Janet didn't notice everyone but Alice and Jasper left. They all realized what this meant for Alice and Janet's relationship.

Janet whirled around about to ask her aunt Rose but everyone was gone. Her eyes met her father's and he tilted his head in Alice's direction. Alice toned her smile down so as not to scare Janet away as Janet turned towards her.

The silence that followed felt like an eternity but in reality only lasted a few seconds. Janet was tempted to just take her chances but the look on Alice's face and her father's possible reprimand made her stop and think. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad, after all this was Alice's favorite thing to do.

"Uh…Alice do you think…I mean would you help me?" Janet asked nervously to a practically vibrating Alice.

"Of course!" Alice gushed and skipped over to Janet's side.

"Thanks" Janet said with a small smile on her face.

"Come on, we have a lot to do" Alice declared and rushed to her and Jasper's room.

"Thank you, Darling" Jasper thanked Janet as he kissed her temple on his way out of the living room.

"Maybe it'll be fun" Janet said more to herself than her father

"That's my girl"

"Okay, now remember don't see her as s vampire but as your imprint" Emily reminded Leah as she straightened Leah's hair.

"What does that even mean?" Leah asked irritated at how nervous she was.

"Don't be afraid to be yourself around her. Remember she has to love you for who you are not what you are" Alice advised as she applied a layer of eyeliner to Janet's face.

"Be yourself?" Janet asked as she thought about Alice's advice

"Oh! Yeah don't forget to be extra polite to Jasper" Emily said while helping Leah pick out a jacket.

"Why?" Leah asked in disgust as she thought about the vampire.

"Because he is Janet's father" Emily answered in a tone that said 'duh'.

"Right I forgot" Leah groaned and tilted her head back in irritation.

"Yeah, and if you want this to go smoothly than you have to get in his good graces. There's nothing more over-protective than a single father with an only daughter." Emily stated matter-of-factly not noticing Leah's worried look behind her.

"Now remember whatever happens just enjoy yourself but don't jump into anything. Slow and steady wins the race as they say or your father will probably have a heart attack if you don't slowly ease him into this." Alice reminded Janet from her perch on her bed as Janet looked in the full length mirror.

"Yeah, he would probably lock me in a tower for the rest of my life." Janet laughed and gave a little spin and a nod of approval.

"Janet…" Alice began and waited for Janet to turn and look at her, "I know you have never wanted me to take the role of mother to you but maybe you would allow me to be your friend and talk to me whenever you needed any sort of help." Alice said with her hands clasped tightly in her lap.

"There are some things I can't talk to papa about," Janet began causing Alice to quickly look up, "and I guess I could use some help with getting him use to Leah." Janet finished with a small smile on her face that mirrored Alice's.
