OK. Not such a long delay for this chapter. You can thank the most awesomest (I know it's not a real word, but work with me here) beta in the world, MaitresseSaint for not letting me slack off. She's a slave driver. Really. Honestly. Ok, not really, but she is really good at begging and demanding. Ha! She knows I love her.

Disclaimer: The begging, pleading, crying and bribing hasn't ceased yet. But SM has Twilight in a headlock and won't let go. Maybe if I offer her up some of the hot hockey players for our local team? Think that will work? Nah… I didn't think so either.

Everyone looked so excited at Jasper's suggestion. Alice was bouncing in her seat because she had already seen the fun we would have. Edward saw what her visions had shown and what Jasper had seen on the website. Emmett was just excited for a new adventure. Rose looked excited too, but I could see that she felt a little out of the loop. I looked over and gave her a wink.

"It looks like so much fun, Rose. Come over and see what Jazz found on the site."

She untangled herself from Em's grasp and plopped down on the couch between Jasper and me. As she scrolled through the site, looking at the pictures, maps and descriptions, I could see the wheels turning in her head. She really looked happy. The guys got up and went out back, but not before we got a quick kiss first. Alice pranced over to sit with us and nudged Rose with her elbow.

"You need to fill her in on the pink leotard before the guys get back in here. Emmett will never let you finish the story."

Rose looked between the two of us, with a huge smile and evil glint showing in her eyes, she took a deep breath and began.

"It was in the eighties. I don't remember when, but you and Jazz were traveling God knows where, Edward and Alice were at school, Carlisle was at work and Esme was working out in the garden. I was bored and wanted to see what the big deal was about those aerobic shows that Emmett was always watching on TV. I mean, come on… I never change. I don't have to worry about my ass spreading, getting wrinkles, boobs sagging, or any of that shit. He was just so damn interested. I couldn't pry him away from the TV for those first few hours in the morning no matter what I wore. I tried teddies, leather, the most killer bikini, even my auto-work outfits. NOTHING! It was really pissing me off."

Rose was really pissed off. She was remembering it like it was just yesterday or something. Alice giggled and motioned Rose on with a wave of her hand. The last thing we needed was Rose going off on a tangent before finishing up.

"Right, well everyone was doing their own thing and I snuck into the living room to see what kept him so interested. I came around the corner and my jaw dropped to the floor. Emmett *gasp* was standing there *giggle* in a pink *snort and gasp* leotard *giggle* and bright green leg warmers *groan and laugh* mimicking the moves *snort* on the television. I could NOT believe it."

We were all laughing so hard we were falling off of the couch. Rose was holding onto the cushions for dear life. Alice was holding onto her sides as she rocked back and forth trying to gain composure. I was leaning over with both hands on the coffee table to try and stabilize myself. I looked at both of them and the hysterics started all over again. I finally found a moment of calm and sighed.

"You mean to tell me that Emmett was exercising to the aerobics shows on TV?"

They both nodded their heads furiously. I would have thought their heads would have fallen off and rolled across the floor.

"Emmett? Our Emmett? Really?"

They both laughed out a big, "YES!!!!"

I snorted again before continuing, "I would have thought that he would be ogling the women, watching them bounce, drooling like a pervert or something more manly. I wouldn't have thought he would be exercising? He doesn't even need to exercise!"

Alice slapped her hand over her mouth to try and muffle the roar or laughter. Rose looked at me and smirked. Before she lost it again she answered, "That's exactly what I thought. I never in a million years expected him to be doing that, especially in those clothes! It took weeks to get that out of my head."

This was priceless. I can't believe I missed this. Wait a second. HOW did I miss this?

"Rose, where in the hell was I when this happened?"

Alice answered first, "You and Jazz were off somewhere. I don't remember. But that was when you guys were out and about for a year or two."

Rose joined in, "I really wanted to tell you, but every time you called Emmett wouldn't let me near the phone. Then I was trying to push it out of my mind. I thought Edward was going to be sick whenever he was in the room with me. Then by the time you got home I just kind of forgot. I'm sorry, Bella."

I gave her a big hug and said, "Don't be! It was funny hearing it now. Just next time get that shit on video!"

That sent us into another fit of laughter. Esme and Carlisle had long disappeared upstairs, so it was just us three acting like complete fools. It felt good though; we really did have a good time when we were together.

CRASH!!! BOOM!!!

We all stopped mid-roll and looked to see what the commotion was.

"ROSIE!!! I can't believe you told her. WHY did you do that?"

Rose got up and walked over to him. She hugged him and patted his back, trying to hold in the giggles.

"Babe, she wanted to know. It's not a big deal."

He was full blown whining now, "Yes it is. I was just trying to stay sexy for you and you're making fun of me."

Jasper walked in, water rolling down his bare chest from the pool and said, "Em! You're a vampire. You don't need to try and stay sexy. You're never going to change."

Edward came over, scooped up the pixie and answered as he walked back out, "Before you say it, we know! The girls on TV brainwashed you into thinking you were fat, your spouse would leave you and that you'd be alone forever if you didn't work out. Still doesn't explain the outfit."

With that Edward took off towards the backdoor again. Before anyone could say another word we heard a loud shriek.

"EDWARD CULLEN, DON'T YOU DARE. IF YOU THROW ME IN THAT POOL I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR DICK OFF AND FEED IT TO THE SHARKS!"

SPLASH!!!

I guess it's feeding time.

I stalked over to Bella and watched the emotions change in her eyes. Scared. Excited. Leery. Worry. Lust. I leaned over her and gave her that sexy smirk she loves so much. I held my hand out to her to help her up. When she was standing I pulled her into my arms and then picked her up. I started to walk towards the pool with her wrapped in my arms, her legs secured behind my back. Just as she was about to say something she stopped. I jumped into the pool with her in my arms.

She broke through the surface of the water and saw me laughing at her. She splashed me in the face and scolded, "That wasn't funny, Cowboy! I would have liked to have changed first."

"Sorry, Darlin'. I just couldn't help myself."

She took a moment to look around and noticed that the electronic hurricane shutters had been lowered, effectively blocking the view from the other neighbors. Understanding washed over her face as she turned back to me.

"You know I'm safe, Darlin'. I wouldn't put us in a bad situation. We have too many things to do without drawing the attention of the Volturi."

She jumped into my arms and kissed me soundly. I loved how free-spirited she was. She didn't care who was around or what was going on. If she wanted to do something, then she did it. End of story. She pulled back, looked into my eyes and spoke, "Very true. You still have to take me home, Cowboy. I miss it."

"I know, Sugar. We'll go soon, just you and me. It will be like how it was in the beginning."

"Minus the war, both human and vampire of course."

"Of course."

Everyone had joined us in the pool and we spent a few hours just relaxing, playing and enjoying each other's company. Slowly everyone made their way indoors and paired off into their separate rooms. We all wanted to enjoy a little down time before the fun began.

Bella and I soaked in the Jacuzzi tub, just talking about what we wanted to do when we made it to our real home. We cuddled and joked and just remembered. We slowly made it to the bed where we snuggled up and read more of Gone with the Wind.

After a few more hours we could hear the others start to stir. We untangled our limbs and got dressed as well. I was wearing a pair of loose, faded jeans that hung a little low on my hips. I had on a tight, white t-shirt with an open button down shirt over it. I had on my scuffed up cowboy boots and a baseball cap. Comfortable, casual and sure to blend in.

I turned to look at what my girl was wearing. She had on a pair of hip-hugging, dark flare jeans. She was wearing a black tank top with black sneakers. She pulled her hair up into a messy bun and turned around. I stalked over to her, placing my hands on her hips and leaned down to kiss along her exposed neck. I started walking her backwards towards the closet. I moved my kisses along her throat, chin and then crashed my lips down to hers. She wound her hands around my neck, fisting my hair between her fingers. She was standing on her toes, leaning into me. I pushed her back gently with my chest as I reached into the closet. I pulled one arm from around my neck and then the other. My arms slide down the sides of her body and rested on her hips. I kissed her with even more passion and slowly brought my hands back up her sides. They moved of their own accord; over her shoulders, up her neck and finally resting with my palms on both of her cheeks. She pushed herself closer to me and purred into my mouth. I felt something strange then. She suddenly gasped and pulled back quickly. She looked at me with a bit of confusion in her eyes.

"What is it, Darlin'?"

"I felt something weird. It was... I don't know how to explain it."

"Can you try?"

"Were you projecting just now?"

"I'm sure I was. You had me a bit worked up."

She started pacing and pulled her bottom lip between her thumb and forefinger while she thought. Damn that woman and her lip. We'll never make it to Orlando if she keeps that up.

She stopped and turned to me.

"Babe, I've felt you projecting before and this wasn't it."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I felt your love, lust, want and desire, but it was different. It was like I felt this pull in my chest and other places."

"That's not how it normally feels. You usually feel it all over like you were feeling it yourself or you think it."

"I know, but this was like I was feeling it, but physically. Like I was drawn to you, wanted to claim you, wanted to mark you and didn't want to let you go."

"That's how I feel everyday, Darlin'."

"Jazz, can you explain it? I mean how you feel personally, not that mushy 'you're my mate and I love you and would walk the Earth for you shit'."

I raised a questioning eyebrow to her and she huffed.

"You know what I mean. I love your romantic shit, but I just want the dirty details on this one!"

I began to describe it to her and while I was working through things a light bulb went off in my head.

"Wait! What you're describing to me is exactly what I was trying to tell you all those years ago on the roof. Do you remember?"

She snorted and gave me a look full of sarcasm and disbelief.

"The night I made out with more than half the family? How could I fucking forget?"

"Maybe I can do to you, what you do to me with your power. I mean its possible right?"

"I suppose it could be."

I walked over to her and pulled her to sit on the bed with me. I looked at her and smiled.

"You have a variation of my power because I'm your sire. If we add in the soul mates part I'm sure it could develop into more."

"But why now? Why didn't it happen sooner?"

"Who knows, Darlin'. I guess the time was right."

I gave her another deep kiss while placing both of my palms on her cheeks again. This time she was prepared and did the same to me. Oh my fucking… The feelings… The emotions… Fuck I'm hard.

Suddenly we heard Edward's voice calling to us.

"Get your horny asses down here and let's go! We got shit to do and we don't have all night to wait for you guys. You can do that later."

Oh I plan to, Ed. In every fucking place I can find tonight.

"Game on! Bring it. We'll see who wins tonight."

Suddenly Emmett jumped in.

"What game? I wanna play too! Tell me damn it!"

Bella grabbed me by the arm and started to lead me out of the room. I called downstairs to answer Emmett.

"We'll talk about it in the car, Em."

This seemed to appease him because I heard them shuffling out of the door and towards the car. We were passing the mirror and Bella stopped dead in her tracks. I wasn't paying attention and bumped right into her. She spun around to me and pushed her beautiful finger into my chest.

"What the fuck, Cowboy?"

I gave a sexy smirk and just looked at her.

"Don't even start that sexy shit, it won't be working tonight. What is with the clothes change, Jazz?"

"It's not a change, it's just a jacket."

"No! It's your jacket that is twice my size. Why?"

"You were too sexy for your own good, Babe. I couldn't help myself."

She stalked a little closer to me, running her finger up and down my chest. She pulled herself up my body and wound her hands behind my neck, fisting my hair in her hand. With a swift jerk back on my head she looked into my eyes. Fuck me sideways. She is hot, but I'm so dead.

"Next time you want to cover up the goods, ask. Don't assume. You'll be sorry mister."

With that she snapped her fingers and caused purple fire to erupt from her palm.

"Only it won't be with this fire. Got it?"

I took a loud gulp and just nodded my head furiously in agreement. She gave me a dip kiss and the spun on her heel. She pulled me downstairs and into the car with her. Carlisle and Esme just stood at the door waving good-bye to us like the wonderful, perfect parents they were.

This is going to be a fun night.

We jumped in the truck and sped off. Edward was driving with Alice in the front with him. Rose and Em had jumped into the third row of the SUV and Jasper and I took the second row. Emmett was bouncing in his seat, looking just like Alice. Rose just rolled her eyes and pretended to watch the scenery as we drove. Jasper chuckled and I looked at him to see what was so funny.

"You're throwing off a lot of lust up there, Alice. What gives?"

"I've seen your little contest tonight and I can't wait."

She rubbed Edward's thigh and I saw him wink at her in the rearview mirror.

Emmett practically jumped into the second row with us, hollering and trying to get answers. I swear he's going to pop someone's ear drum one of these days. Edward decided he would be the one to talk about this contest, or whatever it was.

"Emmett, calm down and I'll tell you."

We all turned to look at him and waited.

"Well when we were in the house, Jazz-man over here had some pretty racy thoughts going through his head. Needless to say we would never have gotten on the road anytime soon. Anyway, he thought it would be fun to get freaky all over the park tonight."

I looked at him, my jaw practically resting on my chest and quirked an eyebrow. Not that it wouldn't be fun, but come on with the sharing that shit with Mister Nosey.

"Get over it, Bella. It wasn't like I heard him on purpose. So I challenged him. Basically I think that we should each have our own fun tonight. Besides all of the normal stuff I think we should see who can have sex in the most outrageous place."

"What an awesome idea, Eddie. I'm game."

"Of course you are, Emmett. There's a catch though. You have to have proof."

"Alright! Pictures!"

"Eww, no Em. Not pictures of the deed. I was thinking more along the lines of the location, not porn pictures, dude."

"You're no fun. Really!"

I had to jump in on this one.

"Couldn't you just check read their thoughts or couldn't Alice just see if it was true?"

"Darlin', while that's a good idea, they are on the same team. I say the pictures will help keep it fair."

He had a point. I just nodded my head and agreed. Alice joined in this time.

"Just so you know, I can't tell who will win. To keep it fair make your minds up at the last minute. I'll stay out of everyone's futures and Edward will stay out of your minds. That way we won't try to one up everyone. Does that sound fair?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Emmett slipped back in his chair, threw his arm around Rose and sat back.

"We are so going to win."

"You bet we are, Monkeyman."

After that it we all just talked, joked and enjoyed each other's company on the way to the park.

This is going to be a fun night.
