"Well here you go Bella; this is your room for the summer. I hope you like it, I spent some time re-doing it, fixing it up for a girl" Esme smiled. It was pretty, it was a light pink and crème, large windows over looked the back of the kingdom which was mountains. It was mainly the same as her room, but it was different to the point where it was still exciting for Bella.

Bella and the Cullens left the servants to unpack all her belonging and they went down the stairs and out on the back oversized balcony. It could fit an entire ballroom of people it seemed like. "Well, why don't we let you and Edward get to know each other and play for a while" Esme and Carlisle left Bella and Edward to glare at each other. Suddenly Edward leaned forward and pinched Bella then ran away.

Bella ran after him and they chased each other all day. The whole summer was filled with nagging, fighting, bruising, and generally rough housing. By the end of the summer Bella Swan and Edward Cullen despised each other.

Bella stuck her tongue out and she and her father rode away in the carriage back to home.

The next summer came around and then the summer after that. Edward and Bella's distaste for each other didn't change, if nothing it increased.

Every summer was the same struggle for the parents of Edward and Bella.

The summer that mattered most had finally arrived for Edward and Bella. Bella was combing her hair through as she sat on her bed, dreading what was to come. "Ms. Bella, the time of the year as arrived again" Lacey said. Bella sighed. "This is torture; nothing shall ever happen between us, why do they keep trying to push this horrid union on us" Bella only used impressive vocabulary around her elders; she wouldn't normally use it around her friends.

"Bella I know this is hard, but look at it this way, you get to get out of this place for a while, away from your father" Lacey knew her father and her weren't getting along at the moment. It seemed like there were so many things to argue about lately. Marriage, schooling, behavior, the list went on and on. "I suppose, Lacey you always get me to go though how do you do it!?" Lacey smiled. "I know you too well" she said. Bella smiled also. "Here, I made a new dress for the meeting, it's laid out over there" she nodded towards Bella's sitting room.

The dress was pretty; she always loved white dresses the most. It was cinched at the waste making the dress flare out just a little, it was scooped neck. Lacey had always made the prettiest dresses for her. Lacey had come by her side. "Do you like it?" she smiled. "No, I love it!" Bell have her a hug, which might have been uncommon amongst servants and princess but not for Bella and Lacey. "Well, why don't you get dressed, the carriage is waiting" Lacey said with a somber voice, showing sympathy.

Bella walked up in her brand new dress, servants with her trunks trailing behind her. "Hello my dear Bella" Her father said as she approached him. "Hello Father" she smiled as he helped her into the cab. The ride wasn't as long as she had ever remembered it; maybe it was because she was soaking up the time until she had to see Edward again. They arrived at the nice kingdom, it was almost exactly as she had remembered it.

Getting closer and closer to the main entry way with the grand entrance she could see Edward and the King and Queen, Carlisle and Esme, standing there.

The carriage stopped, Bella took a deep breath and she arrived out into the warmth of the sunny day. A servant helped her down and she walked towards the awaiting family. She took a deep breath and Edward and she stepped towards each other. It was something they had to do every summer and it was dreaded. Edward had gotten way cuter over the last year, or at least it seemed.

His hair was in disarray but he had become more muscled, something about him looked more mature. Edward lightly took Bella's hand and kissed it. Bella stomach knotted up and Edward looked up to her giving her the strangest of looks.

She pulled her hand away. Everyone awkwardly stood around them not knowing what to do next. "Well Bella, why don't you two go up and get settled in and catch up" Esme suggested breaking the silence. Bella and Edward both nodded their heads as they walked in the huge doors with the servants following.

Edward and Bella were left in the room that had been pretty much hers for the past ten years. "How was your year?" Edward said, his voice was soft, unlike the way he had spoken in the past. There seemed to be a peace between them at the moment, who knows how long that would last though. "Uhh, I had fun, you?" She didn't really know what to say. Edward nodded and smiled "Yeah, look, let's just get along this summer. I don't want any more broken body parts, black eyes, or near death experiences" Bella laughed a little remembering the time she had "accidently" pushed Edward into the river when he told her she was a stupid girl.

"Yeah" Bella laughed "Maybe we should try to keep the peace, but what do we do? I mean no offenses I don't want to marry you" Edward laughed, thankfully, "I agree, don't worry but I don't know how we're going to do that, our parents are basically making our wedding arrangements." He had a good point, this was basically decided every since they were both seven years old. "You can find someone else! Just say that you're not feeling the chemistry and you would to find someone that can truly support you" Bella was just making this up as she went but it actually sounded like a good idea.

"That's actually not that half bad, I think I'll have to initiate that plan, but for now… do you want to take a walk or something?" Edward said. Bella shrugged, what the worst that could happen, Edward knew how to swim now. "Sure" she smiled and discarded the luggage for the servants to put away. Edward used a hand to guide her out to door. They made their way out on the back of the kingdom overlooking the mountains. "How do you want to get down to the trail?" Edward asked. There were many ways, some more dangerous than others. She gave him a devilish grin as she started running and jumped off the balcony with ease. Bella pointed herself downward as she sliced through the water… whoops she was wearing a white dress… screw it.

Edward quickly followed after her as he made a big splash in the water. Bella laughed for real, not just a fake one. It has possibly been one of the first times in all her summers here where she had fun. "Remember the last time we did this? I had to pull you out of the water because you landed on your head" Edward laughed at the memory of Bella forgetting who she was for about a day.

Bella laughed too. "Why do you think we're getting along so well?" Bella asked Edward as they lied on the sand by the lake. "I think we're more mature, or just the fact that we're working towards a common goal" he laughed and Bella joined in as the sun was bursting onto her face. "Did you parents let you see anyone during the winter" Edward asked. Bella groaned "I wish!" "Same" Edward said. "It's like they think I'm already engaged or something, didn't really stop me though" He smiled sneakily. "Me neither" she said on the contrary.

Edward and Bella smiled at each other; for once they felt peace towards one another. "There you two are… Queen Esme is calling you two to lunch" A servant said looking down on them from where she was standing. "Okay" Bella said quietly embarrassed of the situation. "I think I'll get cleaned up before attending to lunch." Bella walked past Edward as he got up from the sand and followed her back up the path to the castle. "Be sure to go in through the service door so you don't track mud!" A servant yelled down the pathway. "Alright" Edward and Bella said on synchronize.

Bella cleaned up for lunch, putting on a soft pink dress that was synched just below the chest. It had an off white patterned ribbon around the synched area; it was perfect for any kind of lunch- in. Bella walked down to the formal dining room. Lunch wasn't set up though; Edward came down from the opposite set of stairs having the same confused look.

Just then Esme walked in with an oversized picnic basket. "I thought you two could go out and have a picnic since the weather is so nice" She smiled. Edward took the basket and they walked out to the balcony that over looked the lake that they had just previously dived into. "How about we go into the woods or something I feel like every eye is watching us" Edward suggested. "Yes please!" And they were off.

"Where are we going" Bella asked after what seemed like hours of walking through the woods with no trail. "We're almost there, I promise" He said and before she knew it they stumbled into the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. It was a meadow filled with wild flowers everywhere. In the corner was a tiny stream with a little waterfall, the stream flowed to the other side of the meadow and out of sight.

"This is beautiful" Bella said "Why haven't I ever seen this before? She walked around the meadow exploring it more. "I hated you! Did you really think I was going to show you my hiding spot where you would be able to find me when you were getting annoying" Edward laughed as he laid out the blanket. "Good point" She sat down as he laid out the food. "This looks amazing, I love your mother" Bella continued. "Yeah, she is pretty great" They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, while they both ate. "Do you come here often?" Bella asked while eating her brownie. "More often than not" Was all Edward said. Bella propped herself on her elbows as she looked up at the sun, this what summer was truly supposed to be about.

Edward and Bella stayed there for a little while longer but Edward suggested that if they wanted to get back to the kingdom before dark they better start to get a move on.

"Thanks Edward, I had a really good time" "Me too" he smiled and with that Bella went into her room and went to bed, after all she was exhausted.
