"SAVE THE FRICKING WORLD?" I was in disbelief. This is no comic book or movie. I'm not Wonder Woman!

"Your kidding right? We are mutant bird kids and you want to turn us into the flying circus that saves the world?" I stood gaping at Edward and his marvelous idea. This was crazy! No normal person would have to save the world. God why me!

"There is no way I'm gonna do this no way." I stammered as I backed up shaking my head back and forth. During my very subtle escape backwards, I tripped.

"BELLA!" I heard three voices shout as I fell backwards down a steep slope that had magically appeared behind me. I shut my eyes tight and used my hands to cover my face, when I felt warm arms wrap around me.

When I felt solid ground beneath me I planed to open my eyes. Ok, ok here we go. As I peeled one eye open I came to find myself on top of Edward on the ground.

What the hell is it with me ending up, either on top of or underneath guys! I scrambled to my feet and jumped off of him. Then I realized that I had just landed on this man and I am not exactly light as a feather, so I scrambled back over to him.

"Edward. Hey EDWARD!" I shook him violently and continued shouting his name.

"God you are so heavy." I heard him manage to gasp out.

"Oh thank god I thought I killed you." I said holding his head up as he spoke.

"Yeah with how much you weigh you could have." That's it. I dropped his head back on the ground and stood up.

"OUCH! God, what happened to caring about almost killing me?" I sneezed. "What's up with you?"

"I'm so sorry I'm allergic to bull shit. Because its bull shit that I care about you." I made a face at him and turned away. God Bella, smooth real smooth.

"Ok well we need to find a way to get back up there." He said looking up the slope we ever so gracefully tumbled down. "Well we're not going up that way." He sighed. "Onward into the forest."

I stood there for a second and took this all in. I am going to be lost in the woods with Edward for like a day maybe all alone. Oh GOD! Oh I can see the headlines now, and so the police found a girl who died of a heart attack at and early age… in the forest…with a guy. Greeeaaate. So I stumbled along after him.

-8 hours later-

"I think its safe to say your navigational skills suck." I stated after passing the tree that looks like a kitten for the 5th time.

"What and you would have done any better." He breathed.

"Uh no not really… once I got lost… in an L shaped building." I paused waiting for the laughter. When I turned around, Edward was limping behind me this pained expression on his face.

"Oh for the love of all that is holy we are going to stop for the night." I said slumping to the ground by a tree. After a few minutes of silence that lasted like, forever, he spoke again.

"Why don't you want to save the world?" Oh goodie 20 questions. Well at least its not strip poker.

I sighed and started drawing in the dirt with a stick.

"Why should I do anything for the country I live in when they have done nothing for me. I mean my dad always told me, "No man ever won a war by dying for his country, but by making the other poor bastard die for his."

"That's a stupid reason." He said eyeing me suspiciously. "Now whats the real reason?"

"I don't want to put myself in danger and risk dying." I mumbled looking at the floor. Edward looked up at me with disbelief pooling in his eyes. I looked up and met his gaze.

"Come with me." He said limping his way into a standing position. He extended his hand out and gestured for me to take it. Sliding my palm to his I stood as well. He led me over to the ledge.

"Stand there on that rock overlooking the cliff." He instructed. I did as he said and looked over the edge.

"I don't see anything." Really I didn't see a damned thing. He pushed me closer to the edge and stood on the rock with me.

God this is like a friggin' scene from Titanic. Hold on a sec I think I see an iceberg in the distance. I felt his arm around my waist; I was about to protest when he turned my head to look out over the edge.

My eyes where engulfed with the sight of moonlight bouncing off the trees and casting enormous shadows beneath us. The moon could be seen on the lake rippling ever so slightly. The scene took my breath away and I was lost in the beautiful world that was the middle of nowhere.

"See you are so close to impending doom yet, the beauty makes you feel safe and at ease. You shouldn't let stupid things like fear stop you Bella. So will you do it? Will you come with me and help us save the world?" He looked at me with pleading eyes as he stepped off the rock and held out his hand.

Ok why was it so important that he knew there was nothing between Jacob and I? Why did I blush when he touched my hand? Why did I feel so safe standing near a ledge with him holding me even though I am as scared of heights as a lawyer is scared of the truth?

I looked at his pleading eyes and found the answer. I jumped off the rock and into his arms, smashing my lips to his. My heart set off fireworks like the 4th of July as our lips began to move with each others. Some how his tongue made its way into my mouth and I melted as our tongues danced together.

THUNK I ignored it and kept kissing Edward with deep passion. Sadly this was my first kiss and I had 17 years of pent up teen angst. THUNK Still ignoring it. THUD DAMN THAT LIKE A MOTH- I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw two acorns and a brick lying on the ground. I snapped my head around to see Jacob, Jasper, and the leg-humping chipmunk staring at us with disgusted expressions. Needless to say we found our way back to camp.

Edward and I jumped apart, blushing furiously.

"Bella you do not want to know what was going on in his head. Someone's gonna have wet dreams tonight." Jasper sing-songed. A vein appeared on Edwards' neck. He was showing signs of enormous self-control. H sighed and clenched his fist.

"Well we are all up for the Save the World plan, a.k.a. Mission Impossible." Edward nailed Jasper with a mean right hook, making him drop to the floor groaning in pain. " So lets go."

-30 minutes and 2 tissue boxes later-

"Why did you have to punch me Edward? It hurt." Jasper whined making puppy dog faces at Edward. I didn't see what more that would get him; I mean he was already riding on Edward's back.

"How long have we been walking and where are we going?" It was my turn to whine now.

"We are going to the giant Hollywood sigh. That's where we can get into Dr. Grant's facility, its underground." Jacob hissed making daggers at Edward. They hadn't spoken to each other since our little kissing expedition. "And Bella its only been 20 minutes."

"And were here!" Jasper yelled like a little kid. We all looked up at the same time. Damn the kid was right.

"Well…" Jacob started.

"Here…" Edward added.

"We…" Jasper continued.

"Are…" I finished. I held my fist out and smirked. "Idiots unite!" I yelled. We all knocked our fists together and turned towards the Hollywood sign.

"Well how the hell do we get in?" Jacob pondered aloud. He had a point, there was no door or anything.

"Oh found it." I said pointing to a small wooden door on the Y in Hollywood.

"Wow how did I miss that?" Edward said turning his head to the side a little. We all timidly approached the door and slowly creaked it open slightly.

There was nothing. Nothing. We all pilled inside and cowered in the dark.

-FLASH-

A flash of light blinded us all and sent us tumbling back out the door into the… snow? I stood up and my eyes grew to the size of softballs. SNOW? I got to my knees and stared out into the white artic of the Himalayan Mountains.

"Oh you're kidding me right?" I shouted out into the snow.

"Hmm seems as though he connected a flux capacitor to the deregulator capsule and made a transponder transporter that sent us here." Jacob said.

"Huh? Wait since when do you speak geek?" I mean come on he seems like the type of guy who works on motorcycles and watches freakishly weird movies like Face Punch.

"Hey I can keep up in physics." He retorted.

"Go work on a motorcycle or something!" I shouted. "Please!"

"Guys we have bigger problems than Jacob's lack of manliness." Edward's jaw dropped to the floor. " We only have 12 days to make it from India back to California if we're gonna stop Dr. Grant and well we don't have much money for transportation."

Yes we are screwed. Really screwed. And yes I am aware that we have issues.
