. . . . . Hi!

Well, I'm alive! I now have my new computer so I don't have to steal Bear's laptop anymore. Hahaha. But, anways, new computer is here, so YESSSSS!

I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry that's it's taken so long to get my computer back and everything, but I'm here now, and I just want to say thank you guys so much for being with me through all of this stuff. I really mean it, thank you. I love you guys so much, and I'm serious, you guys are the reason I'm sitting here at midnight trying to update as much as I can. Really. THANK YOU GUYS! LOVE YOU ALL! There are no words to describe how much I love/need you guys, and as I've said so many times before, if I could ever give you guys a trophy, I really would, but all I can go is give you all a huge Internet hug.

Still sick. Ew. Am hating every minutes of it.

Alright, THIS IS IMPORTANT! I'm running low on ideas for this story, so I'm turning to . . . YOU! Yes, the reviewers/readers that I love! If there is any ideas that YOU guys can come up with, please just review them and I will see if I can make the idea into a chapter! Funny ones, serious ones, filler ones, I don't care! Okay? So, IDEAS ARE NEEDED MUCHLY!

Wait, is muchly a word? O.o

But, anyhoo, other then my thank yous, my love, my news of no ideas, and my new computer, nothing cool has really happened to me. I'm struggling a little bit in school, but shhhh, don't tell my mum. She'll kill me. o.o Oh, well, we're starting chemistry in school right now and our teacher was like, "We're gonna BLOW SHIT UP! Oh my, don't tell anyone I just said that." It was so funny.

So, before we go to the chapter, I AGAIN, just want to thank you all. Really. THANK YOUUU. For reviewing, for reading, for laughing, for breathing, for just being you guys. Thanks, and love you guys.

98 reviews? -falls over dead- I LOVE YOU GUYSSSS!

Hope you guys like this one! It might be a little lazy/bad because I haven't written anything on this story in what seems like forever, so I'm SORRY if it sucks. The next one will be better!

Oh, and a quick thank you to my chemistry teacher Mrs. E, who inspired this chapter with her insane way of being able to make a gummy bear blow up. o.o

The Only Exception - Paramore
Don't Let Me Get Me - P!nk

I slowly began to walk up the beach, Seth beside me, nattering cheerily about who was all going to be there. There was going to be Sam and Emily and Jared and his girlfriend Kim and his sister, Leah. That worried me a little bit, since he started to babble about how she was kind of a shrew and everything, but I pretended not to notice as Ivy, Embry, Nikki and Paul were out of sight. Seth grabbed my forearm carefully as he began to jog, but I had to sprint to keep up with his easy jog. The sand crunched under our shoes, and the sun sent glimmering beams of golden light across the gray waters. The clouds were starting to disperse and become lighter, and the sun slipped under the horizon, making all of the red-orange beams disappear, being replaced with the dark shadows of night.

We started to go closer to the edge of trees that seemed to rim the crescent shaped beach, and as we neared closer, I began to see where Nikki and the rest of them had gone. Nested right by the edge of the trees, only feet away from the water's edge, was a large bon-fire pit, with flames reaching toward the heavens, licking the blackened surface of the rocks that contained it. Around the fire, were four people I didn't know; the male from before, who had helped calm Paul down, and Jared, who was teasing Nikki about the milk in her hair, along with a thin-haired girl in his lap as they sat on the cold ground. Beside Sam, was a woman with three long scars that reached along from her hair line to her chin line, but gave her the look of wild untamed beauty. The last girl had a very short pixie cut, her russet skin gleaming like silk in the fire light.

Ivy was between Embry and the older male, Embry handing her a can of pop, her cheeks the color of tomatoes as she whispered thank you. Nikki was seated between Paul and Jared, and she was fighting with Paul over who got the first hot dog. It seemed as if they hadn't introduced themselves yet.

"Hey, Sam, Emily, Leah, Kim, uh," Seth seemed to be stumbling over the words, "This is Renny, and her friends, Ivy and Nikki."

I waved tentatively, not sure who was who.

Nikki seemed to have no problem with that. "Yuppers, that's us!" Her red hair was even redder in the light of the flames, and her eyes sparkled impishly.

Ivy just waved innocently.

"That's Sam," Seth said, motioning to the wise-looking male. Then she motioned to the lady with the scars. "And that's Emily."

Sam smiled, and Emily's face warmed. "It's very nice to meet you girls," she said. She seemed very motherly, kind and sweet, someone you could count on when you needed too. Sam was a bit intimidating, but all of the guys were, though Sam seemed . . . bigger.

"And you know Jared," Paul laughed.

Jared waved, well the girl girl in his lap was silent, seemingly shy.

"Then we've got Kim," Embry motioned to the thin-haired girl, "and Leah." Embry looked at Leah, who was glaring daggers at me, raising a lean black eyebrow. Seth's facial features and Leah's matched almost, which I knew, that this was the "shrew" Leah that Seth had warned me about before.

Nikki glared at Leah, raised one eyebrow, just like Embry, and went to go stand up, he jaw taunt. Paul placed a hand on her shoulder and kept her down, his eyes locked on hers, as if he were trying to telepathically communicate with her to not start anything.

Seth and I weasled our way in between Nikki and Jared, so that Nikki was beside me, and Seth was beside Jared, and Embry chucked a red pop can over the fire, Seth catching it easily, right side up, as if Embry had just handed it to him. Embry then chucked another red one in my direction, and I managed to catch it before it went flying into Nikki's head.

The time seemed to fly by like seconds as countless hotdogs were consumed, mainly by the males and Nikki-Jared was at twelve, and Nikki was at an amazing ten-and I began to learn more about the Quileutes that were around me; Kim and Jared were dating, I had found out, and Sam and Emily were happily married and were planning to stay happily together. Leah was Seth's older sister, and she kept glaring at me through out the first two hours-ish before she began to warm up to me and eventually we were talking. Nikki and Kim seemed to get along great, and Ivy was seemingly getting along with Emily. Before I knew it, it was pure darkness, the only light coming from the roaring bonfire, flaring bright and huge in the sky. Our voices drifted quietly now, as Ivy began to yawn, Kim and Emily were blinking, still trying to stay awake, and Nikki was past out, leaning against my shoulder, lips parted.

"We should go," Ivy whispered, stifling another yawn.

I nodded in agreement, smiling delicately.

Embry grinned, and motioned for Ivy to follow him, waving at the rest of the Quileutes.

I started to get up, supporting Nikki, who was slowly starting to wake up. "Hmm? I'm wake, I'm . . . wake. No, I dun have a test today . . . Jena, no, that's mineeee. . . ." She was mumbling like some sort of drunkard as I shook her shoulders.

"I've got her," Paul said quietly as he slowly took Nikki, holding her up. He threw his arm around the backs of her knees, and caught her with his other arm so that she was comfortably against his chest.

Ivy, Embry, Seth, Paul and I all said our goodbye's, and we began to walk back up the beach, the sand black in the moonlight, the waves crashing loudly compared to our almost silent breathing. The only thing we could hear was Nikki babbling to herself, still half a sleep.

"Ywesh, mummy, I do it . . . No, no, I'm not sleepy . . . Lilly, Kate, Madison, no, dat's mine!"

Okay, it's a bit shorter then intended, but hey, it's here.

I'm sorry if it's crappy, I really am. I promise the next one will be better.

Thanks for reading! Love you all!

C'mon, guys, please review with your guy's ideas! PLEASEEEE!

Thanks again!

BAI!
