So after laughing and gazing at the reminder of how we all became basically brother and sisters. We all started chomping on gum and then I realized something. Even though we were on the way to Quil and Embry we're missing the girl we met in fourth grade who was so sweet and shy around every one even shyer than I am. I know crazy huh? So Yeah, we're missing Alexianna Morales. Or as we call her 'Lex' or just 'Lexi'. She was so smart and always ready for any academical challenge to be thrown at her. But she also had a wild side that made us fall in love with her she was wild and crazy when she wasn't doing school work or tutoring someone. She's probably visiting her big brother she loves him so much. We met im once when we were in elementary school he was visiting her and he was just like her. She was pure Puerto Rican. Her brother was tall and funny but she was more level headed and she thought things through more than any of us. She was the one brain in the sea of morons and we wouldn't have it any other way.

"Hey Al?"

"Yeah B."

"Well Uh . . . where is Lex I mean nobody's mentioned her and this morning in the car Charlie dodged my question about her is everything alright with her?" Alice looked down and had a sad look on her face.

"Well Bella I think I know why everyone's been dodging that question." She looked at Jake questioningly. He nodded. Oh yeah forgot to mention she's Jake's little cousin. We (meaning everyone but Jacob) met her in fourth grade but he knew her his entire life but then she moved here. "Well, you remember her brother Alexander?" I nodded. She sighed. "Well she had to go live with him some kind of family emergency. It was sad really we were all crying they wouldn't even let her say goodbye to us we just call and text and email her almost every day so we can keep in touch. But it still hurts knowing that we might not see her for a long time. It was the same with you but at least we got to say goodbye and see off to the plane. We just talked to her one day. Laughing at Jake when a water balloon we were using to prank my cousin popped in his face. And Jake didn't even get to see her go." She sniffled I knew she was close to tears. I hugged her. We all comforted Alice. "It was just so *sniffle* hard." She sniffled again and hopped out of our hands and wiped her face.

"Now that, that's over with lets go get Quil and Embry they really miss you B."

"Okay Let's go."

Out of nowhere we started skipping arm-in-arm and singing . . .

"We're off to see the wizard

The wonderful wizard of Oz."

We all started laughing. "Okay we sound like tone-deaf cats let's stop before we have to make a stop at ER for ear problems."

"True *giggle* true, true, true." Rose said between giggles. We have now reached the next destination of mission "Locate The Home-Skillets". We are on 112th street. We walked into the building. Apartment 3B. I rang the doorbell. "Who is it." That was Quil's voice I'd know it anywhere. He must've just woken up he's still groggy.

"Dominoes Pizza." I hear snickering behind then I heard Quil mumbling behind the door.

"I swear to God if this is that little third grader Arnold I'm gonna punch him in his face." He mumbled.

He swung the door open and let me tell this was a sight to see. He had a shower cap lopsided on his hair and his towel hung low on his waist. His hazel eyes almost popped out of his head when he looked down and saw me. He grabbed me in a big hug and kissed my cheek a million times. He swung me around and then the un thinkable happened. His. Towel. Dropped. I felt something poking my leg. Then I didn't realize I was hugging a naked teenager with out best friends laughing there asses off at the situation. I looked down and saw IT. And I mean IT wasn't a bad sight to see but at this moment It was disturbing I jumped off him and covered my eyes I almost tripped over a gasping for air from laughing Rosalie and a tearing up holding her sides Alice and Quil's cheeks turned a fire red color as he dipped to get his towel back around his waist.

"Quil!" I yelled. Still facing the other way and laughing.

"Yeah. Bella?"

"GO put some fu- *cough* clothes on so we can get Embry and your cheeks don't burn from the blood rush."

"You ain't gotta tell me twice." And with that he bolted from his door and we saw him go in his room he came out with black high top converse, blue jeans, and a t-shirt that said 'KILL THE MESSENGER' and on the back it said 'I AM THE MESSENGER'. And he let his hair fall at his sides. We walked out to the elevator and pressed 'L' and in the elevator the jokes rolled in.

"So Quil, you feelin' a little stiff." Jake asked. Snickering.

"Yeah, you wanna rub it?" Quil said to Jake shutting him up as he demolished his joke. We finally got to the lobby while Rosalie was imitating My face when I looked down at Quil's waist. And laughing as she did so. As soon as we got out side Quil took out his sidekick LX the 2009 version. Did I mention we all have the same phone so we can text each other easier. And when I say the same phone I mean the same phone even the same color: onyx black. And the sidekick is sleek and shiny and lightweight so it's easier to text in class. He sent a text to Embry to meet us at the park. This will be my second time going there today. Embry came out there sitting at the water fountain his eyes bulged when he saw me. He ran at lightning speed and hugged tackling me to the ground. I'm glad we aren't on concrete or that would've meant one thing for me. Concussion. He helped me up and we dusted off our clothes.

"Sorry 'bout that Bella, I'm just so happy to see you."

"I'm happy to see you too Em."

"So, s-so how long you stayin'?" He asked twirling his right foot looking at his shoe. I'm not staying, I'm moving back."

"Really!!!"

"Yes really."

"Well Then let's go to Central Park and scare some tourists."

"Embry that's mean."

"Yeah, but it's fun." He replied.

"True." Me, Jake, Rose, Ally, Quil, Maddie, and Manny said at the same time.

"Just let me tell Charlie and I'll have to call you know he can't text. To save his life."

"Oh and I gotta call Billy he text like three words per decade." He laughed at his own joke. We both took out our 'kicks and flipped them I dialed my dad.

"Hello?"

"Hey Daddy"

"Hey sweetie you havin' fun with your friends?"

"Yes Daddy. Just wondering. I have money on me for the bus so can we go to Central Park. Well preferably 96th street Central Park?"

"I don't see why not, Just you and Jake and all your friends be home at, uh let's say ten thirty?"

"That's great Daddy thank you."

"No problem tell them I said 'hi'.

"K Bye."

"G'Bye"

I flipped it closed. And Jake just got off the phone with Billy.

"So did you get a Yes?"

"Yes. I got a Yes!!"

We ran to the bus put our metro cards in and went off to Central Park. We hopped off the bus and I went to get a hot dog, so did everybody else Jake got three and so did Quil and Embry. I swear I don't know where Jacob puts it. Probably in those gorgeous russet biceps. Don't you just wanna touch them Bella? Shut up inner thoughts. As we finished eating we walked around pranking and bothering tourists for no reason. Yeah, some might say were rotten but I just say we're bored and the people we got were so . . . I don't you they just had the look where you wanna pick on 'em. It was pretty fun though. Then out of nowhere we saw a little family. And they were nice looking.

I tapped Jake's shoulder he seemed to know them.

"Hey Jake who are they?"

He rolled his eyes and laughed. "They're the Cullen family."
