Ali gasped. "Is that – "

"Jacob Black?" Olivia finished.

I shook my head no. It couldn't be. Jacob Black wasn't real. Taylor Lautner was, but what would he be doing in La Push? And in my cousin's house?

"Taylor Lautner!" I shrieked. He didn't look up.

Jennifer took my hand and yanked me over to who must be Sam. He looked just like the Sam in New Moon. "I'd like you to meet my cousin, Nicole, and her friends, Ali and Olivia," she told him.

He smiled and we shook hands. "I'm Sam Uley."

My heart dropped.

"Now no offense, I need to speak with Jacob in private. Emily, take the girls somewhere else for a few minutes."

WHAT?! Did he just call her Emily? No, her name was Jennifer! My cousin! Maybe that was a nickname he came up with…? Maybe that boy's name was Jacob and he looked a little like Taylor Lautner…? Maybe Uley was a common last name…? I thought, trying to calm myself down.

"I'll take my friends down to the beach," I assured Jennifer – no, Emily. Even if I hadn't been here in three years, I still knew the way around here.

Ali and Olivia followed me as I raced down to a part of the beach where I was sure no one else was. It was far down the reservation where people rarely went, so we could yell all we wanted, because that was surely what I felt like doing at the moment.

"OH! MY! GOD!" we screamed.

"That's Jacob Black, and your cousin is Emily, and she's married to Sam, for sure," Ali said.

"No, it isn't! My cousin's name is Jennifer!"

"Then what? Do think this is all a coincidence? That seems really unlikely to me. Plus, he even called her Emily."

I sighed. I knew that Ali was being completely logical. How had I not seen the resemblance between my cousin and the actress who had played Emily in New Moon?

"Does the plane have something to do with it?" Olivia wondered.

"Maybe…" My voice trailed off. I had tried to believe that that had been all a dream. "Somebody pinch me," I ordered.

Ali grasped my skin with her long manicured nails.

"Ow!" I cried.

She shrugged. "You wanted me to, Nicole. Besides, this isn't a dream."

Olivia spoke up. "We must've gone through a vortex of some sort on the plane. I don't know why, though, it's all that I can come up with…" Of course that was what she would think of. Olivia was the smartest person I knew.

"Impossible," I mumbled.

Ali ignored me. "What part of the Twilight series are we in?"

"Let's go find out," Olivia decided.

"No! Stop! I'm the one who invited you here in the first place!" But Olivia and Ali were already sprinting up the beach. I had no choice but to follow them.

"Where's her house again?" I heard Ali say. They both skidded to a stop, which let me catch up to them.

"Wait up!" I panted. They had gone really far in the wrong direction. We were nowhere near Emily's house.

"Here, follow me, Emily's house is this way." I led them the opposite way that they were facing. Ali and Olivia were fantasizing about which of the four books we were in.

A car came speeding from around the corner straight at us.

"Ahhhhh! Look out!" I screamed. I jumped out of the way, but Ali and Olivia's reflexes were obviously slower than mine. Their parents would kill me if Olivia and Ali got hit by a car. But then again, did their parents even exist in this world?

Luckily the car screeched to a stop. It was about a millimeter away from gently bumping into Ali. A huge, muscular boy hopped out, which I instantly recognized as Embry.

His eyes flickered to Ali. "Are you Emily's cousin?" he asked her. Was he crazy? Ali had straight dark blonde hair, while Emily had dark waves, like me. She couldn't possibly be related to Emily.

But then I saw why. He was gazing at Ali, like a blind man looking at the sun for the first time.
