This was it. Bella had arrived in Tel Aviv as a doll and she would be leaving with Alice and me as a person, a living and breathing human girl. Human. I'd never thought about what would happen when she returned home with us. What would I do? Would she even want to become…like us?

I stared down at her and she looked up having felt my gaze and smiled, making me lose my train of thought. If I think she's beautiful now as a doll how great will she look as a human? I stifled a laugh thinking of how happy Alice will be to have a new person to dress up.

I was startled from my thoughts by Bella's voice. I immediately felt terror before remembering she could move and talk in front of Alice. "I'm sorry. Repeat that. I wasn't paying attention." Bella just rolled her eyes before repeating herself.

"I said we're close. I can feel it. I can't explain but it's kind of like a tug and it's pulling me," she pointed further into the trees, "that way."

"We'll be going over water. I can hear it." I said to no one in particular. We began our trek and Alice decided to entertain us by singing "Over the River and Through the Woods" because that's what I wanted to hear on the way to the witch that turned my…girlfriend?...into a doll.

Over the river, and through the wood,

To Grandfather's house we go;

The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh

through the white and drifted snow.

Over the river, and through the wood—

Oh, how the wind does blow!

It stings the toes and bites the nose

As over the ground we go.

Over the river, and through the wood,

To have a first-rate play.

Hear the bells ring, "Ting-a-ling-ding",

Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river, and…

I interrupted her before she could keep going. "Alice seriously. I think we get it."

"I was just trying to provide some entertainment." Alice said sulkily. I had no doubt that that was what she was trying to do, but it truly was not needed.

We finally made it to the river and just as I was about to jump Alice flung her hand out stopping me.

"Aviv said she was going swimming."

"Umm okay? What does this have to do with us?" She rolled her eyes at me before explaining.

"This river is the only water around. If she was going swimming she would be in here. And if you listen for once in your life you would be able to hear her." I heard a faint chuckle in the distance but there was no way for me to know who it belonged too. "Alice you're the only one that has heard her voice or seen her. I wouldn't know who she was if she stood under my nose and yelled in my ear."

I heard a slight gasp and looked down…to find a short woman staring up at me expectantly. I jumped back in surprise.

"Are you sure you won't know who I am Edward Cullen?" Her voice was melodic and her face was kind and teasing.

"I take back my last statement."

The woman, Aviv, nodded her head, pleased with my answer, before turning to Alice.

"Alice it's so great to finally meet you! Well to meet you physically." She gathered Alice up in a hug before turning back to me.

"And you. I've been waiting to meet you for so long. I know you probably aren't too happy with me after all I've put you through but look at the positive side of this. You met these two wonderful vampires." I flinched before remembering she was a witch so we weren't that far off.

"But I'm sure you're ready to become a human again and I'm here rambling on." Aviv chuckled at herself before bringing her eyes up to meet mine. "Now Edward I know you're probably a little skeptical but if you could just let her down we can begin."

"Begin what?" I was confused. I thought all we had to do was find Aviv and everything would be settled.

"My test." Bella said quietly from my arms. I'd forgotten about this test business. Couldn't Aviv see that Bella was different. She was probably the best person in this group. She was caring, unselfish, humble, understanding, and so much more.

I felt a slight tugging on my arm. Bella was trying to get my attention. She looked pointedly at the ground and I realized I still hadn't let her go. I bent down and set her on the ground gently before backing up.

BPOV

I pulled my head up and straightened my back. "Hello Aviv." I was trying to make them believe I wasn't scared, nervous and feeling like I was going to implode from the pressure I was feeling to pass whatever test Aviv had planned for me.

She settled herself on the ground and sat opposite me. "Hello Isabella. You don't have to feel nervous. If you have truly changed for the better you have nothing to worry about."

I decided to just tell her exactly what I was feeling and my reasons for feeling this way so that maybe somehow she could understand and not hold my feelings against me in her decision.

"I am nervous about whether you'll change me back or not but that's not the predominant reason I'm nervous." I looked over at Edward and offered up a small smile. "I'm nervous because your decision decides my fate and could make me lose the love of my life and my best friend." I said looking over at Alice.

" I know the first thing I would do if I could see my parents again is apologize, because I know I made their lives infinitely harder then it really had to be, and I feel horrible for it. But while I regret my actions back then I don't regret being turned into a doll."

"I've learned so much and I've become a better person because of it. I just hope you can see that and don't make the wrong assumption." I smiled and nodded at her, indicating that I was done with my impromptu speech.

Aviv stared at me and I stared back. We sat there for a long moment before her pretty face erupted into a huge smile.

"Oh Bella I'm so happy! I was so nervous. This is great and it went so much faster then I planned. At this rate I can fit in a mud bath before my seaweed wrap." Aviv was practically flying with excitement, and after taking a closer look I was surprised to see she actually was elevated off of the ground a couple inches. I shook my head and focused back on what she was saying.

"…I guess I should stop rambling on and just give you what you want shouldn't I?" She said laughing happily.

"Yes that would be nice." Edward said rudely. I shot him a look that said "Shut up or you might be the one in doll form next."

"My, my Edward you should work on your patience. It is a virtue you know." Aviv stared at him speculatively. Her lips began moving frantically but there were no sounds coming out.

I knew what was going to happen and I had to stop it before it got too far and it was too late. Aviv couldn't do this to Edward! She couldn't! But before I could say anything there was a loud sound that made me tremble from my head to the tip of my toes.

Before I could scream for Edward everything went black.

A/N Don't worry I'm not cruel enough to have you guys waiting so long and leave a cliffie. That would be pure evil. Keep Reading!

Part II

BPOV

I don't know how long I was passed out but I felt heavy so I assumed a long time. I jerked up suddenly remembering the reason behind my passing out.

I jerked up awkwardly feeling out of sorts before I stopped short and let out a small astonished gasp. I was standing above the ground. Far above the ground. I slowly brought my hand to my face and marveled at the feel of skin on skin as well as the heat.

The heat. I emitted heat. I had skin that was soft and pliable. I brought my hand down, only to kick out my leg. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the dress I'd had on before had in fact grown with me. Well that saved me some embarrassment. I didn't want to have to pull an Adam and Eve and deck myself out in leaves. I let out a small laugh at what Edward's expression would be like if I came to him dressed in only leaves.

Edward and Alice!

How quickly I could revert to my old ways. I was already being selfish and uncaring. I was so caught up in myself that I couldn't focus on anybody else. What kind of person am I?

"Edward? Alice? Where are you guys?" Not even a millisecond passed before I heard Edwards frantic voice responding to me.

"Bella! Keep talking we're on our way to you." I was ready to sigh in relief until I heard Alice.

"Wait Edward!" They were practically screaming and I heard every word.

"What, Alice?" He sounded frustrated and I giggled quietly.

"Bella! Did your dress stay intact?" My quiet giggles turned into full out guffaws with that. "Yes Alice. I'm clothed."

"Oh good. Go ahead Edward." She didn't sound like she thought the fact that my clothes grew with me was a good thing. I had a feeling we would be shopping together sooner rather then later.

He was by my side in less then a minute and I was wrapped in his arms almost as soon as he appeared. "Oh Edward!" I didn't even have to feel to know that I was crying. For the first time in a long time I was able to produce tears and I was ecstatic that they were tears of happiness.

"Bella! Bella? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?" I couldn't answer him because I was full out sobbing now. "Bella talk to me. Tell me what's wrong!" I just shook my head. I was starting to have trouble breathing. "Breathe with me Bella." He placed my head on his chest and breathed in deeply before exhaling. After a couple minutes I had my breathing under control and my sobs had been reduced to a slight sniffle.

"Okay Bella. Tell me what's wrong?" His voice was border-line hysterical.

"Nothing Edward. I'm fine. I thought something had happened to you and then when you came I was so happy and I just started crying. I guess I need to get back used to my body reacting to my emotions."

He just stared at me before laughing loudly. "God Bella. I thought you were hurt or something!" I responded by hugging him tightly, breathing him in and getting used to the feel of him with my new hands.

He wrapped his arm around me as well and we stood like that for who knows how long. It was then that I realized Alice was no where to be found.

"Edward where is Alice?"

"She liked the idea of a seaweed wrap and figured that was a good way of giving us some alone time."

I laughed, "Of course." Then something occurred to me. We were alone. I was human. It wouldn't be weird at all to kiss him now would it? "Edward?" I asked quietly.

"Hmm?" His face was inches from mine, studying my face the same way I was doing his. "I want to try something."

He must have known what I wanted to do by the look on my face and I saw his Adam's Apple move as he gulped and then he smiled at me and I took that as confirmation that he wanted it too.

Slowly, hesitantly I leaned forward and he did the same. It seemed to be taking forever until finally our lips connected and it was…I couldn't describe it. Beautiful? Incredible? Phenomenal? None of them fit. It was just…Edward.

There were explosions, tingles, and just this mind-blowing clarity. Like everything in my life was right for once. As our lips molded together I knew this was going to be something to remember for the rest of my life and I knew that this moment. This beautiful, fantastical moment would be hard to beat. But I had a feeling that with Edward, it would be topped.

"I love you." He whispered as our lips withdrew from each other.

I answered in the only way I could.

"Everything is perfect."

A/N There ya go! Bella is human again! And they got their first kiss!!! One more chapter! This is so sad. I really might cry when I end this. Anyway review and let me know if you liked it. Thanks to those who have stuck with me. I really love you guys 3
