A/N: Two reviews? sigh I really don't want to feel disappointed, but I work so hard on these chapters, and all these people read it, but I only get two or three reviews for all my hard work? They really do help me write faster, guys. sigh Oh well, I'm grateful for what I have.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T FREAKING OWN IT.

Emmett

"OK, who dares to challenge me?!" I called, looking around the room. Leila came out of her fort of pillows.

"I will." she offered, grabbing the guitar from me.

"I can't believe it." I gasped, sitting on the couch. Rosalie sat beside me, patting my shoulder. Something similar was going on beside us as Jasper comforted Amber. I looked toward Leila, who was sitting on the floor, looking dazed.

"I never win anything." she whispered. Jasper chuckled to himself, but stopped when Amber glared at him.

Bella

I ran with Angela to Ebony's stall.

"So what happened?" I gasped, trying to catch up with her without falling.

"She was just eating, then some hay got in her eye, then she choked on the hay she was eating." Angela told me, not slowing down. I groaned softly to myself. We soon arrived at her stall, and I rushed in to help Angela.

Where's Edward? I thought, needing him to be there for the first time in my life.

Edward

The traffic started moving about fifteen minutes ago. I drove at nearly 90 miles and hour, hoping that I wouldn't get caught.

I rushed to Ebony's stall, and I saw Angela and Bella in there. I forced the door open and pushed it behind me as I went to help. Ebony looked fine, but I guess that Angela and Bella had been working for a while.

"What can I do?" I demanded, crouching down to Angela's level.

"You and Bella can refill her water. I'm almost done here." she told me. I nodded and led Bella out.

"You came." she simply said.

"Yes, I did. I may seem like a soulless demon to you, but I do occasionally care about my horse." I replied sarcastically. She blushed, but tired to stay tough.

"Yes, because the world would just come to an end if your wonderful expensive pony had her feelings hurt. I, on the other hand, am just a worthless human being, so it doesn't matter if someone's being a complete jerk to me." she ranted, face now flushed from anger. She looked kinda cute.

Back up, did I seriously just think that?

I'm losing my mind!

Jasper

"I've got plans for us, Jasper." Amber said slyly, holding something behind her back.

"Really?" I asked, pretending to be confused.

"Yep." she drew her arm out from behind her and held out...a package of cookie dough.

"Wow!" I gasped, feigning shock.

"Wanna make cookies?" she asked, pouting in a way that made her look adorable.

I pretended to think it through. "Well...okay. But only because you brought my favorite."

Twenty minutes later, we were snuggled on the couch, a plate of cookies on the coffee table. I pressed play, and the movie began.

"I love this movie." Amber sighed, resting her head on my chest.

"The Wedding Singer is your favorite movie?" I chuckled, running my fingers through her hair.

"I love the song." she told me in the same tone as before.

"You always did have an odd love for extensive cursing." I agreed, making her laugh. As I watched her stare intently at the TV screen, I couldn't help but remember the first time we met...

I stood in the laundromat, my clothes all loaded. It was only then that I realized that I was out of fabric softener.

"Excuse me." I said, turning to the person next to me. "Do you have any fabric softener?"

"Sure." she said, turning to me. It was a weird feeling. She had a t-shirt that said 'Rabid Jasper Fan.' on it, with jeans and brown hair in a ponytail. She handed me the container.

"Hey, what's your shirt mean?" I asked.

"Wanna go see a movie?" she questioned at the same time. I stared at her.

"S-sure." I replied.

"You never did tell me what your shirt meant." I said to her as the song ended.

She understood what I meant. "It's just from a series of books I like. You probably wouldn't like them, they're really girly."

"If it's something that you enjoy reading, how bad can it be?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She giggled.

"Fine, I'll let you borrow them." she said to me. "But if you don't like them, don't blame me."

Bella

Edward seemed to struggle with word for a second. "I-you-" he stuttered. "C'mon, let's get some water." he finally commanded, looking dazed. He ran his fingers through his hair, and I couldn't help but stare. Wait, what am I thinking? Am I turning into those other girls who stare at him all day and sigh at the sound of his voice?

I mean sure, I was glad to see him, but that was just because his horse was in trouble.

Right?

I groaned softly to myself. Edward didn't seem to notice. What in the world is he thinking about? I wondered, watching him out of the corner of my eye as we filled some buckets of water.

Edward

I was in some kind of haze, caught up in my own thoughts. I heard her groan faintly as we walked, and I wondered what she was thinking. I could never quite figure her out...

I began filling a bucket with water, and I was aware of the fact that she was watching me out of the corner of her eye. And for some reason, it didn't bother me.

"Edward!" her voice suddenly broke through. She waved her hand in front of my face. "Your bucket's overflowing!!"

I snapped back to reality and looked down. I quickly shut of the water and lifted the bucket. To some it would be heavy, but it was fine for me. Bella, however, was struggling with hers. I held out my free hand, but she shook her head. Stubborn.

She giggled to herself as we walked back—presumably because of the water—and, unlike most girls, her giggle was not annoying, but kind of cute, in her own way.

What's wrong with me?!

A/N: This chapter is a bit shorter than the others, but I've just hit a dead end. The cookies/flashback were requested by Marci. Did anyone figure out what books Amber reads? XP Okay, guys, I'll strike a deal. You beat the review count (two) and you get the next chapter on Monday, or even tomorrow if you can beat the count and I can get a chapter out in time. pleasepleaseplease. And the seating chart from the last chapter is up on my profile now. And do you guys think that I need a beta? It's very important for me to know.
