The road flew by in only slight blurs of discolored nothingness. The window of the passenger side was cracked, letting the full scents of anything and everything fill the car. He was hoping that he could catch a scent of possibly Alice.

Maybe he could --even though his hopeful side was telling him that he shouldn't-- even catch her scent...

What caught him by surprise was the scent that he actually caught. A rotting like scent he had never smelled before. Decaying fur? Yes, probably. That was odd...

-------------------------

She hiked up the trail slowly, knowing that Alice ahead might finally get impatient and give it all up. That was unlikely though, she was more likely to come over and pick the poor girl up.

"Hurry up!" Alice's voice chimed in an unbelievably musical voice. Momentarily, Bella felt jealousy. She was no prettier (which she believed was not very pretty) then in her original form, and her voice only sounded slightly different. Though, it was amusement that overwhelmed that odd sensation. It never occurred to her as possible for a bell to sound... whiny?

A smile played at her lips, quickly stretching into a smirk upon seeing Alice's huffing. "You're cute like that... I must say, I should take a picture for Jasper"

"And would you give it to him in person?"

Bella caught the insinuation and smiled innocently. "Nope! It's my present for him through you!"

A frown tipped the sides of her mouth downward once again and Alice turned, huffing, back to the path. She danced upwards while Bella tripped slightly, gracefully catching herself. Yes, she had recently mastered and defined the art of graceful falling. This, my dear friends, would put her name down in history as something amazing.

She hit the top of the trail, then turned to go towards the cliff. Alice dashed from the tree line to the edge, jumping and doing something she only imagined Emmett ever doing. Her legs curled up to her chest, arms slipping around them in a cannonball.

"CANNONBALL!!!!" Her voice cheered in a notch lower then Bella had ever heard it.

Giggling, Bella dropped the stuff Alice made her bring --back up makeup and clothes for when the fun was over. Then Alice would have a ball torturing her. It was, now that she thought about it, slightly sadistic.

A smile played upon her lips at the thought. She really missed Alice, no matter how much she was trying to deny it.

----------------------------

Pushing just past the barrier of what he would get in trouble for, Edward sped up the car. La Push was a dangerous area, but he had to check. After all, Alice wasn't completely sane when it came down to it.

His morbid thoughts were confirmed when he found himself inhaling his sister's scent slightly shrouded by salt. There was another scent.

'Salty cherry blossoms?'

------------------------------

Alice's form made a wall of water spray upwards as she was enveloped by the water. Bella got ready, being about two steps back. Taking a deep breath, she bent her knees.

"Bella?"

Her eyes widened at the voice, the voice that had been echoing through her mind during the last hour. Turning around to face him, she could only stare. "Edward?"

He took a step towards her and she took a step backwards. He repeated this process and she found herself at the edge, swaying backwards slightly.

Gravity won the battle, pulling her downwards off the cliff. His eyes went wide as he watched her almost in slow motion fall down the side of the cliff, hair flying upwards.

The only thing she could think about was the wind rushing across her back. This experience was the most like flying she had ever had. The flying sensation was so nice; she barely heard her subconscious screaming her name. It was wonderful, like going to heaven almost, his voice produced by her mind, calling out to her.

Or...

Was it actually him?

Even the famed Cherry Blossoms last for a short lifetime, you must cherish them while they are there…
