All day today Bella had been excited. I felt no different than I did any other day. Although, part of that may have been that I already knew the secret that was about to be revealed to her. The man they had chosen to play my part did resemble me… if you had the description from the books in your hand. Face to face we looked very different. That was of no matter, though. Even if I cared, there was nothing I could do about it. No matter what any of my family members thought, the movie would be different.

I took my time driving Bella from school to my home. I knew that her reaction today was going to be the bigger one. She cared too much about the actors who were to portray us.

"Edward?" Bella asked. I looked at her, directly into her beautiful brown eyes. They wouldn't be brown for much longer now. Her time was running out.

"Yes, love?" I asked her. Her gaze moved to the road for a moment. She was still uncomfortable with my keeping my eyes away from the road.

"Could you maybe…" She delayed the rest of the sentence. "Oh, I'm never going to live this down, but could you maybe go a bit faster?" She blushed as my eyebrows rose.

"You want me to speed up?" I asked, disbelievingly. She pleaded with her eyes. I smiled and faked hesitancy. "I don't know about that. Any faster and I'd be speeding."

"Oh, come on. You already know. It's not fair! The suspense is killing me here!" she complained. Then she got a glint in her eye.

"Please?" she asked quietly. I saw where this was going. "Please, will you do just this one thing?" She touched my face with her fingers.

My mind was distracted by the beauty that was Bella and I didn't notice as my hand, the one on the steering wheel, moved. The car started to turn, and Bella snatched her hand back. "Maybe it's best if you try not to distract me while we're in the car," I suggested as I sped up. She nodded, a small smile on her face. She really had no idea of the effect she had on me. None at all.

When we arrived at my house, she was so quick to get out of the car that I had barely enough time to get the door open before she grabbed the handle herself. She allowed me to pull her out of the car and then sprinted for the door. I walked alongside her, which she didn't fail to notice.

"Showoff," she muttered. I grinned at her. It was in fact what I had been doing.

Alice already had her laptop set up in the living room, with the Twilight Lexicon open. Bella dashed towards it, but her foot caught the cord, and both she and the computer went flying. I snagged her before she could hit her head on the table, but the laptop was not so lucky. It smashed against the wall with a surprising amount of force.

"Ohhh…" Bella moaned. "I'm so sorry Edward." She tried to reassemble the computer but I grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to me.

"It's nothing."

"But it looks… looked… really expensive, and-"

"Nothing," I repeated, trying to get my point across.

Of course, at that moment, Alice finally came down to see what the crash had been.

"Is Bella okay? We heard the crash. I never saw it coming-oh man, my computer!" For a second, she didn't look too happy.

Bella nearly fell over her own feet again as she walked towards Alice, apologizing the whole time. Alice waved it away with one hand. "It's nothing. I'll just go get one of my other ones."

"Other ones?" Bella asked, astounded. "You had more than one laptop?" She blinked, realizing something. "You still have more than one laptop?"

Alice merely smiled at her. Bella can be so funny sometimes, she thought.

I rolled my eyes and put an arm around Bella's waist. She was so soft, so warm..

"What happened to 'the suspense is killing me'?" I asked her.

She stiffened slightly, remembering her purpose here.

"Here we go," Alice said, descending the stairs with another laptop in hand. Bella blinked, looking from where my sister had been a few moments ago, to where she was now.

"Why do they always have to be so fast?" she muttered to herself. Alice and I exchanged grins.

I sat down on a chair, pulling my love into my lap, as Alice opened the website.

"Oh, you are kidding me." Bella said. "You have got to be kidding me!" She blinked a couple of times, as if the picture would change to something else while they were closed.

"They picked Cedric Diggory. Why? WHY would they pick Cedric Diggory? I can't even look at it." She buried her face in my chest.

"Bella, give the poor guy a chance," Alice told her. "You've got to let go, and see how other people might see it."

"No." The word was muffled.

She'll come around. Alice had directed the thought to me.

She was probably right. Besides, who was I to bet against Alice?
