Memo: I'm SO sorry it took me so long to update, this story really has got me all confused lately. I have no idea of where to take it from here- I actually had this idea for awhile, but I wasn't sure on what your initial reactions would be, and so don't assume or dump this story, lol, until the next chapter!


Answer: Angel, in that scene with Faith!! Do any of you guys remember? It used to be a REALLY hit show and all, but ended less than two years ago! The reruns ended recently as well, but oh well- that's the answer.


Disclaimer: These are quite fun to write actually…even though there's no point to it- since I'm not posting anything of copyrighting (Stephenie Meyer can't sue a minor!- well at least anyone under eighteen, lol!)


Edward's View-


I watched her the whole time. Japan was definitely someplace I knew she hadn't

suspected- but it had been in my mind for so long. I had been waiting for this moment for what seemed like eternity- to me of all people at least.

It seemed to be my life mission now, to make her happy. To do what I could, to do what I couldn't- anything at all to see her laugh.

We went around for hours, the ferris wheel seeming to be her favorite ride- apparently she still enjoyed cotton candy. Not having it for two years, even when to me it tasted like dirt, still stood for something I could imagine.

"Edward," she squealed, gripping my hand harder, "let's go on it again!"

"Isn't three times in a row enough for you," I chuckled, pocketing the ring in my hand instinctively. It wasn't time for it just yet…

"Stop fooling around," she pounced, "the line only keeps getting longer!"

"Let's go somewhere else first," I suggested lightly. I didn't want to discourage her- but I didn't want to do the opposite as well, and encourage her repeatedly until she was sick of it, and it would be too late.

She turned to stare at me then, shock written across her face. This was the first time I had objected to anything tonight with her. "Oh," she stuttered, lost for words- and then began laughing lightly. "I was wondering when you'd say something Edward. I was beginning to think that you'd lost all of those opinions you once seemed to be so fond of."

"You wish," I snorted, and dragged her beside me, laughing.

"Where are we going anyway?" she asked, noticing how we were walking past most of the fun apparently.

"You'll see," I told her, looking behind and smiling. I knew she wouldn't like it…right now. So I didn't tell her.

"Edward Cullen," she stage-hissed, "I swear to you, if you're doing anything that involves the following of- getting thrown at with any variety of beverage, snack, meal or food, for any type of person, I swear that you're going to-"

But she stopped once she saw where we were, and began to bite her lip hesitantly. I smiled at the fact that she was too preoccupied with her rant to see the signs…

"And that must be the Mrs.," the man said, dressed in a water, fire and dust proof tux.

"Miss," she corrected, squeaking- staring at the boat swans running adrift in the river…I froze though, when I saw her initial reaction. I didn't expect it to register to her just yet, and then again- so late. The Miss part definitely was something I intended on changing…tonight as well.

"Oops," the man sighed, "my mistake. You two just looked so…" he trailed off, searching for words.

"Close?" I tried.

"Yes," he agreed, slightly smiling. I was glad she couldn't read minds…For a reason OTHER than the attraction one...you make sense of that one!

"Well you have to be to come on here," I agreed. He had no idea how right that was.

"Edward," Bella squeaked, her hand shaking in my own. "The ferris wheel could have been better you know, if you-"

"Bella," I stared at her, smiling crookedly, "I haven't talked to you in the past two years, do you believe I'm going to let an opportunity to do so again slip away from me just because you want to spot what type of cotton candy some boy has a mile off?"

"Shut up,' she giggled nervously.

I smiled as she stepped on. This was going to be fun.


Bella's View-

I had no idea what he was planning. We had already had one of those sessions in the car, and we knew that we couldn't relive it again here. We couldn't talk freely because of the man here as well, and so that would be a problem.

And I had no clue whatsoever of what Edward was planning. I mean, I had none before- but now I just found myself stared stiff. I wasn't ready to get so deep in a relationship just yet…

"How long is this?" I gulped, and asked the man who was rowing- quite slowly too I gaped in horror.

"About three and a half miles," he answered calmly, smiling to himself.

"Three and a half miles?" I repeated, trying to confirm. "At the speed of hour per mile too?" I was going to fly into hysterics…

"Not quite,' he chuckled, and then shut up. I wanted to wipe that smug smile he'd had since we had come here right off his face…

"Why are we on here?" I asked, turning my head around and pinching Edward. I was so happy that at last it would actually hurt him- after a year of being together with someone – the last two years now only were a distant memory- about three years ago, you really don't forget how angry they had made you, and how powerless you were. The memories in my mind of that were still fresh- it was that which had haunted me hourly everyday for the past two years.

"Bella," he rolled his eyes, "please don't be difficult. I've been on all your rides for the past hour. Can we please just enjoy this one for once?"

"We're doing absolutely nothing," I pointed out. "And unless you plan on pushing me in the water- which you better not do because I'm wearing silk- is it that you-"

But he had started laughing- and right in the middle of my threat as well. I stopped to glare at him- but noticed that he was simply laughing not with me- but with the boat rower as well.

I wanted to knock both of them in the water.

"Edward Cullen," I threatened, pinching him again, "don't do that again. I mean it. I-"

"Relax Bella," he sighed, trying to shush me. "It's already been an hour."

"A what?" I asked, glancing down at my wrist- which was now empty- "It's been more like five minutes," I bewildered. Obviously he was messed up.

"What time is it?" I asked, instantly suspicious.

"Bella," he sighed again, "I took both of our watches and put them in the car, remember?"

Sadly for me, I did. I just hadn't remembered it. Perhaps my first date with Edward was fun after all…I could only hope it ended this way as well.

"Bella I love you," he said suddenly, and looked at me- his eyes highly amused I could easily see. I didn't understand that either… "And I'd never do anything to hurt you, you understand that right?" he asked.

"You already did," I reminded him. I didn't want to think about that again. "Back then, when you…"I trailed off. Saying it would conjure up memories.

"Do you trust me Bella," he asked, reaching for my other hand- an anxious expression in his eyes – "Do you?"

I froze in terror. He wasn't doing this, I gasped. He couldn't be doing this, we'd just gotten back together after all!

"Edward," I said, my breath coming in ragged gasps, "whatever you want to say, can you-'

"Just answer the question Bella," he interrupted, the tone in his voice urgent. "Now."

"Okay," I sighed, "I do. Now-"

But I didn't get an opportunity to say anything more after that…the boat went catapulting off the river at that point- and into a pool.

Apparently that was never his plan- to push me in the water. He was going to let gravity do that for him.

I could swear that I heard him chuckling all the way down. The tower seemed to be doing the same- still in the swan somehow, up the falls.

"I'm going to kill you," I screeched at him- my face turning dangerously red I knew. "I swear to god to you Edward that I'm going to-"

But I stopped and glared at him again. We still weren't all the way down- and yet he was still laughing, not listening to a word I was saying.

"Relax," he crooned, and eloquently put himself into a dive like position and gracefully sank to the bottom. I wasn't all that fortunate however, and fell in flailing my arms- never mind the screaming part.

"What is this?" I growled at him, once I was treading water. "You ruined my top!"

"And you accused me of ruining the fun," he sang, ignoring me.

"I hate you," I snarled dangerously at him.

"You never answered the question though," he said, turning away and swimming back to shore.

"Do you love me?"

"I already answered that," I pointed out. "In the car!"

"But there's always a chance you changed your mind," I could hear his voice echo. "That you thought it through and that-"

"Edward," this time it was me laughing. "I'll always love you, and there's nothing you can do about it."

"Really?" he asked, and suddenly was in front of me. "You're sure about that?"

"Yeah," I whispered. "Positive."

He was searching his pockets for something then, both of us still in the water.

"What is it?" I asked, slightly breathless.

"Just one second," he replied, a hint of frustration in his tone. "Got it," he exclaimed.

"What," I asked curious, and tried to see what he was holding.

"Will you marry me Bella?" he asked. "For once and for all?"

He looked so hopeful, so determined…so set of this plan. I didn't want to see him like this- not when I was going to break his heart.

"Edward," I began, the throb in my heart I knew was visible in my voice. "I don't…I don't think we're ready for that just yet. I-"

"Don't you love me?" he tried again, desperate.

"I do Edward. But I- Edward I need a chance to clear my mind. Okay? I need to-"

"Please Bella," he begged, taking one of my hands in his. "For me. For us."

"I don't think I can," I whispered, and swam away. I got out of the pool, not bothering to take a glance behind me. I knew he was still there- wondering why I had turned him down.

But I wasn't ready. I didn't know what to do. I ran away- crying all the way. I wasn't over India just yet…but he'd find me there I knew.

I couldn't do this. I couldn't get my heart mangled up all over again. Perhaps he'd leave me at the altar or something...just as I would begin to hope. Just as I had finally developed the courage too as well- I knew he would probably leave. Remember that I wanted him dead. Had sworn to that today as well…

I ran away crying, not caring where I went. Anywhere would be better than here.


Note: Oooh!! Hoping you guys enjoyed! There was quite a bit of fluff in here, I know, but seriously- I know people like that, but now of course- two chapters of fluff and that's pretty much it for a bit.

Okay, new question- do you want me to keep them together, or separate them?


I'm leaving it in your hands, all though I'm really leaning towards the second one and probably WILL do just that if I don't get enough people wanting me to put them together.

Tell me what you think, what your answer to that is, and please REVIEW!!

Hope you enjoyed by the way!
