A/N: Hello my lovely readers! I had a day where I was like "OMG! I have ideas finally!" So, because of that, you guys get a two chapter weekend. Well, the next chapter may not be posted until Monday, but it IS written, for the record.

Thanks to Alice, Madi for some of the ideas, and Siob for helping when I wasn't sure who's POV to switch to.

Madi edited for me, as usual. Her story (This One Time at Band Camp) is favorited for any of you wondering. I recommend all of her stories, though. Not just this one. =)

Disclaimer: You think between chapters it has changed, and suddenly I'm Stephenie Meyer? Ha ha, that's funny.

Chapter 12

APOV

Buzz, buzz, buzz. I could hear my phone vibrating... but where was it? I checked my dresser, my nightstand, my bed, the charger, my bag, and was now looking through my purses and handbags. This could take a while. It took three more bags, but I finally found the little cell phone in my black Chanel bag. One missed call from Jasper. My heart kicked up a speed. I missed him so much. It had only been a week, but I hadn't talked to him at all, other than the texts saying goodnight. I quickly hit send, and called him back.

"Hello, Alice," he said. I hadn't realized how much I missed the sound of his voice.

"Hey, you called?" I asked.

"Yep, Rosalie and I were talking this morning…and well, when do you finish finals?" He asked. I wondered why he wanted to know, but then again, I probably didn't have to think very hard.

Flashback- yesterday

"I miss Edward," Bella whined.

"And I miss Jasper, but you don't hear me complaining," I said.

"Ah…Rosalie," Emmett sighed.

Bella and I grinned at each other, and looked at Emmett.

He looked confused.

"Nothing, Emmett. We're just glad to see you're finally over... her," I wasn't sure if I should say her name.

"Rosalie makes me forget all about her," he said.

Bella's smile got bigger, and I'm sure mine did too.

"How did we get so lucky?" Bella asked.

I sighed. "I have no idea, but I'm sure glad we are."

"You know what?" Emmett asked us.

"What?" We said in unison.

"We should make plans with them this weekend."

"We totally should!" Bella said.

"OH! I have an idea," I said.

They looked at me, waiting for me to continue.

"Well, I've always wanted to go rock climbing... and that sports equipment store just put up one of those climbing walls. We could go out to eat after."

Emmett's face lit up. No doubt he was thinking about how he could impress Rosalie. I assumed he liked the idea.

"Bella, what do you think?" I asked, knowing Emmett would agree.

She thought for a moment before nodding her head yes. "I guess I'll go..."

Emmett was practically jumping in his seat.

"Jeez, Emmett, take a chill pill," I said.

We had called the store, and made sure they had an opening for the six of us this weekend.

End Flashback.

"Hello, Alice, you there?" Jasper asked.

"What? Oh, sorry. I'm here."

"Okay, so when do you finish finals?"

"Today's my last one," I smiled.

I heard him repeat that to someone, and I laughed. I knew exactly what they were doing.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Making plans, are you?"

He chuckled. "How'd you know?"

"We did too."

"What do you mean...?" He asked, nervously.

"Don't worry; the plans involve the three of you."

I heard him sigh in relief. "Okay, so what are we doing?"

Bella, Emmett, and I had decided to keep it a secret. We wanted our plans to be a surprise. "You'll see."

"Oh, come on. You can tell me," he purred.

"Nope! I promised." I grinned as I said this, knowing he would want to know even more now.

"Not even a hint?"

"Not unless you consider dressing casual a hint."

"Damn. When are we going?"

"Well, we plan on eating beforehand, so we'll leave around noon."

"Do I at least get to know where we are eating?"

"Nope!" This was becoming a fun game for me. I grinned.

"Please?"

"Jasper, relax. We don't know where we're going for lunch yet, silly," I told him.

"Fine, can I talk to Emmett?" He asked. Now why in the world would he want to talk to Emmett?

"I guess," I said.

I went into the living room where Emmett was sitting. "Here, Jasper wants to talk to you," I said, holding out the phone to him.

He took the phone, looking a bit confused.

"Hello?" He grinned. "Nope." He paused. "Not a chance." Pause again. "Why would I tell you?"

From his answers, I could tell Jasper was trying to get Emmett to tell him too.

"You're just going to have to wait." He paused. "Wait. No. Good-bye, Jasper." He flipped my phone shut, and handed it back to me.

"Jasper really wants to know where we are taking them tomorrow," I said.

Emmett laughed. "I can tell."

"He tried to get it out of me first."

"He doesn't realize how stubborn you are, does he?"

"No, he realizes it. He's just equally as determined."

My phone started buzzing again, and I looked at the caller ID. It was Rose this time.

"Jasper again?" Emmett laughed.

"No, actually it's Rosalie," I said.

His eyes lit up.

"Not so fast, she called ME. If she asks to talk to you, I'll give you the phone. Got it?"

"Fine," he said.

I flipped the phone open again, and hit send. "Hello?"

"Hey, Alice. It's about Saturday."

I couldn't help but laugh. "Jasper tell you to call me, to try and get it out of me?"

"Um, no, actually. It about something else."

"Oh, okay. What would that be?"

"Okay, I'll tell you, but you can't tell Emmett. He'll be pissed, and I really don't want to worry about me. I handled the situation already."

"Uh, alright. One second." I was curious what she was talking about, and I didn't know if my side of the conversation would let Emmett know anything Rosalie didn't want him to know. I figured it was safest to go into my room.

"'Kay, spill."

"Well, it's mostly about my jacket. Some guy was ripped it off me, don't even ask. Well, anyways, I was wondering if I brought it to you on Saturday, that maybe you could fix it?"

"Depends what's wrong with it."

"Some of the buttons got ripped off. I think I got them all, so I have all the buttons and the jacket. It cost me $400, and I'm NOT about to let that go down the toilet."

"Right. I'll see what I can do. I think I can fix it."

She squealed. "Thank you, Alice. You're the best."

"No problem. I know you said not to ask, but why'd he rip it off?"

"God only knows," she answered. "Don't worry. I took care of him."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

She laughed. "I punched him in the face... I think I broke his nose."

I laughed too.

"Okay, well, I have to go. Thanks again, I'll see you Saturday."

"Alright, bye, you too." With that, I hung up the phone again.

EmPOV

Later at the restaurant...

"Jeez, Emmett, you're such a pig," Bella told me after I ordered a massive burger with fries.

I grinned. "I can't help it, I like to eat."

The waiter looked to Rosalie. "Is there anything I can get you, ma'am?" I did NOT like the way he said anything. He implied much more than he said.

Rosalie looked at me, completely oblivious to the flirting waiter. I smiled. "Rose, you have to tell him what you want."

She laughed. "Right, I'll have the grilled chicken Caesar salad."

"That sounds good! I'll get that too," Alice said, setting down her menu. I wonder if Jasper noticed how the waiter smiled at her. Could this guy not tell that they were with us?

Jasper glared at the guy, and he looked down at his notepad. "I'll have the half order of the ribs."

I wondered what Edward would do. I turned to watch the show that would happen next. Edward was whispering to Bella, and pointing to the menu. She pointed to something, he asked her a question, and she nodded. The waiter was watching them.

I cleared my throat. I didn't need for this guy to be here longer than necessary.

Edward looked up. "Okay, we're ready to order now. I'll have the same burger as him," he pointed to me. "And she'll have the regular burger, only she doesn't want all the fixings, just ketchup and pickles."

"No mustard, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, any of that stuff?" I asked. How could she eat the burger plain? Gross.

She just shook him head.

"Is that it?" The waiter asked.

"I think so," Alice told him.

The waiter nodded and headed off toward the kitchen.

JPOV

The waiter had just set down our food. Emmett and Edward's burgers were a little smaller than Frisbees. Bella's, on the other hand, was your average sized hamburger.

We finished eating, and while Edward, Emmett, and I stood in line to pay (after much argument) the girls went to get the car. They said they weren't going to just stand around, and we weren't about to argue.

They pulled up Emmett's Jeep around to the front of the restaurant. We paid then headed to the car. Bella got out of the drivers seat and went to sit in the back. Rosalie had shot-gun. I climbed in the back too, and sat next to Alice.

"Are you going to tell us where we're going yet?"

Alice grinned, and shook her head. She leaned in to whisper in my ear. "It's a surprise, silly."

I kissed her cheek, and whispered back, pouting just a little. "Even for me?"

I was distracted momentarily by the sound of someone gagging. Emmett, of course.

"You guys need to get a room. The whole CAR can hear your little conversation."

Alice blushed, but I smiled. "We did nothing wrong."

"Yet," Bella added. I rolled my eyes, and leaned my head back on the seat.

I didn't push the subject more until I realized Emmett was pulling into the parking lot of a sports equipment store. I looked at Alice, who was smiling wider now.

"You can't possibly be serious. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for sports stores... but you, Bella, and Rosalie can't possibly have fun here."

She shook her head. "You really haven't figured it out?"

"No....figured what out? That we're at a sports store?"

Bella shook her head and pointed to the store. I examined the signs hung up, and it hit me.

"New rock climbing wall, now open," I read aloud.

Edward looked at Bella, smiling. "This is what you guys have been planning?"

"YES! For God's sake! Yes!" Emmett yelled. "Let's GO!" He was obviously more than a little excited for this.

"Oh, crap," Rosalie said, smacking her forehead. We all looked at Rose. "I forgot the…um...jacket, Alice," she said it reluctantly, but I didn't see what was so bad about forgetting a jacket. I was, however, confused why she said 'Alice'. It's not like Rosalie's jacket would fit Alice, or vise versa. I thought about it for a minute, and I figured out what she was talking about. She was probably talking about the jacket that jerk had ruined. Alice was probably going to see if she could fix it. Why was Rosalie so hesitant to say that though? I was about to ask Alice, when she elbowed me in my stomach.

"It fine, Rosalie. We can just go to your place and pick it up," Alice said.

Edward coughed.

"Okay, fine. Yours, Edward's, AND Jasper's place," she glared at him. "Happy?"

He nodded.

"Okay! Can we GO now?!" Emmett was really impatient.

BPOV

"Yes, Em, hold your horses," I said. I opened the door, and carefully stepped down, not wanting to slip. The snow covered the ice, so I was being extra careful lately. Edward laughed under his breath at my caution. He hopped out, not even worrying about falling. He put it arm around my waist, and shut the car door.

Emmett was already out of the car, and at Rosalie's door before any of us were out of the car. You'd think he was a little kid about to go into a candy store, the way he was acting. He grabbed Rose's hand, practically picking her up and running to the door.

Jasper and Alice were walking to the door, hands interlaced, following Rosalie and Emmett. Edward and I joined in too. I picked up my pace a bit, more confident about not falling with his hand around my waist.

When we got inside the building, you could clearly see the climbing wall in the back of the store. No one was on it, at least, not that we could see from here. We headed in the direction of the wall.

It was separated from the store by a glass wall, with a door in the center. The wall didn't stretch to the tall ceiling. It was only a bit taller than the door, leaving the space open between the climbing wall, and the store, but still separate.

Emmett pushed open the door, and stepped in. He walked over to a man sitting at a desk.

"We're here to rock-climb!" he said excitedly.

"Sorry, the place is rented out until five. Private party." His voice was cold, harsh.

The look on Emmett's face was priceless. He looked so depressed, I couldn't help but laugh. He thought that we'd have to leave.

"Move, stupid," Alice said. She pushed him over so she could get to the desk. "Hello, I'm Alice Brandon. I'm the one who has it rented out until five."

"Oh, okay. Well, why didn't you say that in the first place?" The man was much cheerier now.

"I was about to, but the big mouth over there is over-excited and didn't let me talk," Alice responded.

Emmett moved behind Rosalie, embarrassed by his mistake. It was funny that he thought her tiny figure could hide him.

The man showed us how to latch on the harnesses that would attach to the wires, which would be there if we fell. Alice had picked for us to do the self-course. We would hoist ourselves up, and use our ropes to let ourselves down. Of course, the employees would be there if we needed help, but we would pretty much be on our own.

After we had our harnesses on correctly, our gloves on to prevent rope-burn, and our ropes looped in, we each picked a spot to climb and started up. Emmett was the first to begin climbing. He was up about ten feet already.

"My monkey man," Rosalie said. He looked down, and realized none of us were even on the wall yet.

"What are you guys afraid?" he asked, lowering himself a couple feet.

"Nope," I answered.

"We're just waiting for you to fall," Jasper added. Edward laughed, and nodded his head. Emmett shook his head.

"Come on, baby," he said, extending a hand to Rosalie.

She laughed, and took his hand. He pulled her up, gently, until she was at the same height he was.

"Race you up!" she said. A wide smirk spread on his face.

He was climbing up fast, not missing a beat. She hadn't even realized he started up yet.

"Hey, you, cheater, at the top!" she called up to him.

He looked down from the top, grinning. "I win!"

She shook her head. "Cheaters never win."

"That's so not true. Cheaters win all the time. Just watch poker games!"

I couldn't help but laugh at them.

"Ready to climb, love?" Edward asked me.

I nodded. I walked up to my wall, and placed my fingers in a crack. I hoisted myself up. I reached up for another one, pulling myself higher. I put my foot in the crack my hand started off in, and turned to Edward, smiling. He was still at the bottom, watching me.

"Well, what are you waiting for?"

"Nothing," he said, and started climbing too. I watched the muscles in his arms flex as he pulled himself up the wall. He had a lot of upper body strength, and was able to pull himself up much faster than I was. Thankfully, though, he didn't seem to mind my slowness.

Alice and Jasper were climbing too, Alice giggling when he let her get higher than he was. He would pretend not to have a place for his hand, giving her a chance to get up a little higher. Emmett and Rosalie were back at the ground, starting another race. I could hear Rose saying something about it being 'fair' this time.

I was about halfway up when I slipped. I went to put my foot into a crevice my hand was in earlier, but my foot couldn't find the spot. I slipped, and started to fall. I didn't fall more than a foot, when I was stopped. The harness rode up my butt, but it was better than my butt smacking the ground. I looked up at Edward, who had my rope in one hand, his rope in the other. I smiled sheepishly.

"You better hold on tight, spider monkey," he told me. I giggled at his random nickname.

I took my rope back in my hand, and hoisted myself up again. Once I was at his eye level, I moved closer to him.

"Thank you. Although I have a major wedgie, I appreciate not falling," I said. Then I realized I had just told him that I had a major wedgie, and I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. I blushed, and he smiled.

"It was no trouble, really," he said. "I just don't want to see you fall."

"I've missed you," I said.

"I missed you, too."

"Oh did you?" I asked, playfully.

"You have no idea," he said.

"Don't I?"

"No..." he murmured. He leaned forward to kiss me. I pulled myself up higher again and laughed when he pouted.

"Up for a race?" I asked. Not waiting for his answer, I started climbing again.

He chuckled, pulling himself up.

Even with my head start, he beat me to the top. It was close. I was only about three feet behind me. It took me two pulls to get where he was.

My personal favorite part was letting myself down. I bounced against the wall, letting out a bit of my rope as I went. I'd seen it on TV, but it was much more fun to do for yourself. Even though Edward had got to the top first, I got down first.

We climbed for another hour or so, when the man at the desk announced our time was almost up. By the time everyone was down, and we'd taken off our harnesses and ropes, our time was up. We paid for the day, and headed to the car.

"Emmett, let Jasper drive. We're going to his apartment so Rosalie can get something for me," Alice said.

Emmett sighed, and handed the keys to Jasper.

A/N: Yep, that's the chapter. Don't hate me for the almost kiss, please. I didn't feel Bella could handle not falling if she was distracted like that. xD

I know you're all dying to know what their apartment looks like. You'll find out, be patient.
