I fell asleep peacefully, but my dreams weren't.

~Bella's Dream~

It was the championships, and Edward and I were performing our routine. He was wearing a puffy white shirt, tucked into tan pants, and I was wearing a white dress with ruffles.

He was gorgeous, and I had to admit I didn't look half-bad either.

Everything was going great, up until the Falling Leaf. He held my waist, and I spun away from him unwillingly. I made a Split Falling Leaf and glided back into his arms.

The crowd cheered, but the one judge didn't. He shouted something incoherent, and held up a big, fat zero.

The judge was Charlie.

The music ended, and Edward guided me to the walkway off the ice. Charlie stomped over, red-faced and angry. He snapped his fingers, and Edward turned to dust.

I gasped, and his empty beer bottle came down on my head.

~End Of Dream~

My eyes snapped open.

I looked over to Edward, who was still asleep, facing the wall. Freezing cold beads of sweat dripped down my forehead, and I wiped them away quickly.

The clock in the corner read 4:10. I tried to fall back asleep, but Charlie's leering face haunted my mind.

I got up and snuck out the door. The hallway was dark, the only light was the moon's glow pouring in through the glass wall.

It provided enough light for me to tiptoe across the hall and knock on a door. It was the door of the only person I wanted to talk to right now.

"What is it, Bella?" Alice asked.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I asked quietly.

"Sure. I'll go get Rosalie. Take a seat." I sat on the edge of her bed as Alice padded out in her fuzzy slippers. She came back in with Rosalie a moment later.

"What's up?" Rosalie asked sleepily.

"I can come back in the morning, if you want." I was suddenly apologetic about waking them.

"No, no, it's fine." Alice said quickly, sitting on the head of the bed. Rosalie sat next to her.

"Okay." I said, taking a deep breath.

"I'm worried about championships, and what Charlie's going to do when he sees me skating with Edward. I had a dream, and if he tries to do something to-" I stopped when I looked behind me.

They were under the covers, sleeping.

"Thanks for the help." I whispered to myself, and went back to Edward's room, only to find him sitting in bed staring at me.

"Did I wake you?" I shifted the weight from my left leg to my right, giving him an apologetic look.

"No. I woke up and saw you gone, it scared the hell out of me." He said softly, crossing his legs.

"Oh. Sorry." I said, sitting on my makeshift bed.

"Where'd you go?" He asked after a few minutes.

"To talk to Rosalie and Alice." I answered.

"Why?" He asked.

I didn't want to worry him even more by telling him about my dream, so I scrambled for an excuse.

"I just wanted to ask a question." I said, laying back down.

"Oh. Goodnight, then." He said, and he fell asleep instantly. I just lay on my side, staring out the window until I finally fell asleep.

~8:00 A.M.~

"Good morning, love." Edward said when he saw my eyes flutter open.

"Morning." I mumbled, wiping the sleep out of my eyes.

"Hey, Bella!" Rosalie and Alice came in, plopping down next to me.

"Hey, Sleeping Beauties." I answered sleepily.

"What?" They asked at the same time.

"Nothing." I laughed. They shrugged.

"Are you ready for breakfast?" Edward asked from the doorway.

"Definitely!" We all said at the same time, following him downstairs.

"Good morning, girls." Esme greeted us, setting three loaded plates in front of us. I grabbed a fork and ate. And ate. And ate. And ate.

"Bella, slow down! You eat like you haven't eaten in weeks." Rosalie laughed. I stopped and stared at them all.

"Oooooohhh." She said, understanding immediately.

I sat back, full. Wow. I hadn't felt full in a long time. Not around Charlie, at least.

"What do you want to do now?" Alice asked when we finished.

"I think me and Edward should practice the routine. The championships are in a week, you know." I answered, looking at Edward.

"Sure. I'm up for some practice. Let's go."

We said goodbye, and drove to the rink. He went and peeked inside to make sure Charlie wasn't there before we went inside.

"See you in a minute." Edward kissed my cheek, and we split up, going to the separate locker rooms.

I walked in the girls' locker room, but froze when Jessica and Lauren stood in front of me, their arms crossed.

"Hey, Swan. What are you doing with Edward today?" Lauren asked.

"We're practicing for the championships." I tried to step around them, but they stepped in front of me again.

"He's not skating with you in the championships. Not unless he wants to lose." Jessica sneered.

"Goodbye, Jessica. Lauren." I walked around them, but they shoved me on the floor.

"You can say 'goodbye' to Edward. He's skating with me for the championships. I'll just take that." Jessica snatched the routine from my hand and skipped out of the locker room, Lauren close behind.

I changed into my routine outfit and plopped down on the bench with my face in my hands. Until I heard Jessica talking to Edward. I stood up and peeked my head outside the door.

"Edward, I think you'd much rather do this routine with me. The Dork On Ice won't take you to the Olympics." She popped her gum loudly.

"No thanks. And that 'Dork On Ice' is my girlfriend. Goodbye, Jessica." Edward spoke quickly and curtly, walking over to me.

"Ready?" He asked, holding out his hand. I smiled and took it. We went on the ice and started our routine.

When it came time for my solo, I moved over to the side of the ice where Jessica and Lauren stood. Jessica was still frozen with her mouth open from when Edward said I was his girlfriend.

I did an Illusion Spin, making sure my hair whacked them in the face. Edward and I laughed when they made disgusted faces. I spun back into his arms.

"I'm your girlfriend?" I asked.

"If you want to be." He smiled.

I leaned on my tiptoes and kissed him. Jessica and Lauren screamed behind me, but I ignored them.

When I pulled back, we started the routine again, and Jessica and Lauren crossed their arms and pouted.

We came to the last move, a Throw Axel. Edward threw me in the air, and I spun. Jessica screamed when the blade of my left skate almost hit her.

Edward congratulated me, and I congratulated him. I took his hand as Jessica glided over to us.

"Now it's time for me and Lauren's routine. Move." She said, standing close to me. She glared at me as Edward and I took their spots on the sidelines.

They started off with a Pair Spin, Jessica spun around too quickly, and slid across the ice. Me and Edward struggled to hold back laughter when she crossed her arms and pouted.

She got back up and did a few Ballet Jumps and Russian Splits.

The rest of the routine was horrible, they could hardly stay up for more than a few minutes without falling.

And the only moves they did were basic; Crossfoots and Ballet Jumps mostly. The most advanced move was the Russian Split, and they couldn't even land it.

"Oh, like you could do any better, Swan." Lauren said defensively when she saw me laughing at her failed Broken Leg Spin. I'm surprised she could even fail it without a broken leg.

"Yes, she can. She could beat you on the ice any day, Mallory." Edward defended me.

"Wow. You're a real lion." I said, punching his arm playfully.

"You're not such a lamb yourself." He did the same. I smiled and skated to the center of the ice.

"Is that a bet?" Lauren asked, smiling.

"What do you think it is? Yes it's a bet. Let's go, Blondie." I turned on my heel.

"I'll go first." I gave them a fake smile as they skated next to Edward, still trying to hit on him.

I started fast, doing a Stag Jump. Edward clapped, grinning.

The clapping made me wink at him and do a Waltz Jump. I finished off with a Stretch Spin and a Spiral, landing perfectly next to Edward.

"Well done, Bella. Where'd you learn that?" He asked.

"I know a guy." I winked at him.

"Show off." Jessica whispered, stomping off to the center of the ice with Lauren on her heels.

"Let's show 'em, Jess." Lauren said, and they started their "performance".

Jessica started off with a Bunny Hop, and ended with a Toe Loop. Lauren did the same, only she did an Axel Jump behind the Toe Loop.

They stood in front of me with their arms crossed, smiling smugly.

"That's it?" I asked.

"Yes. That's all you'll get for today." Jessica grinned proudly.

"You hardly did anything. We learned that in the first skating lesson years ago." I said.

"So? At least we can look good in our costumes. We use sparkles! That's all the judges care about, anyways, is how good you look." Lauren snapped.

"Where'd you buy your costume, Swan?" Jessica asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"I bought it from my trip to the Olympics last year." I said proudly.

Last year, there was a contest within Forks, whoever could skate the best got free tickets to the figure skating portion of the Olympics in Beijing.

Jessica and Lauren thought they were a shoe-in, but I beat them by a landslide.

"We had ours made personally by famous designers in Paris. This is real silk." Jessica bragged.

"Wow. And I missed out on this? What'd they do, feel bad that your faces would lose you the championships by themselves?" I asked, fake pouting.

"Ugh! I'll be waiting to crush you at the championships, Swan. Bye, Edward!" Jessica sneered, winking at Edward at the end.

"Nice job, Bella." Edward said, right before his cell phone rang.

"Hello? Okay, see you soon." He hung up and stuck the silver phone in his pocket.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"Alice has a surprise for you."
