Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Twilight, just this plot. I like to play with Stephenie Meyer's dolls.


Previously:

"Is that Jasper you're texting with?" Edward asked.

"Nope, It's Rosalie," I told him.

"That's good, too. Will you tell her that tomorrow they have to be ready to go 11.15 on the dot?"

I laughed. "I hope you don't expect she really will be ready then?"

Edward laughed, too. "Don't think I'm stupid, Bella Swan. I know where the swimming pool is where Alice wants to go and the ride is only half an hour."

"Okay, I'll tell her they have to be ready 11 AM."

Yes, we R wlkin 2his car rite now. Edward sais B ready at 11AM! AM Rose, so not 11PM :)! Xo Bells

We had reached Edwards car and of course, Edward held the door open for me.

I smiled. "Thanks" It was an automatic response. Hey, Edward wasn't the only proper raised person present.

Rosalie had send me a text, again.

Talk 4 urself, Ms Fuckin Barbie Princess. Xo

Rosalie is lunatic. There is nothing more to say about that.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"ROSE! Are you finally ready? It's already 11.30!" I yelled the next day at the bottom from the stairs to my sister. Jasper, Edward and me were already watching SpongeBob for half an hour. "We're going to be fucking late!"

Rosalie yelled back to me. "Bella, don't be an idiot. The ride is only half an hour, I may be pretty, but I am not stupid."

"Shut. Up!" I almost screeched. "That's why we have to leave now!" She was so not going to ruin our day, just because she cared more about her appearance. "What could possibly make you take so long to get dressed to go for a swim?"

I heard Edward and Jasper chuckle in the living room.

"Calm down, I'm already done." Rosalie was walking down the stairs in the most ridiculous outfit you could pick when you went to the swimming pool. "See?" she smiled.

"For God's sake, Rose, How in hell are you going to take that dress of in one of those little cubicles?" I raised my eyebrow and shook my head.

She waved it away. "Don't be ridiculous, I'll manage."

Edward and Jasper appeared out of the living room. I couldn't hear Spongebob talking anymore, so I guessed they had turned the TV off.

"You ready to go, Rose?" Asked Edward.

"Just give me a minute." She vanished to her room again. All three of us sighed, deeply.

I looked over at Edward. He was so hot just while he leaned against the side of the stairs. He was wearing a simple tee and jeans, but on him, they looked like they had been made to fit him exactly, and make him even more delicious. His reddish-brown hair was messy as always, and his pink lips were full and tempting.

I didn't dare to look at his eyes. Maybe he'd discover I was practically undressing him with my eyes. This sort of moments, when he'd stare in the depth, busily thinking, belonged to my favorite sort.

I would read him, and wondering what he was thinking. I could marvel at his beauty without Edward self knowing, and smile at everything that made him Edward. His slightly crooked nose, the ever mysteriousness of his green eyes, his dazzling smile and his amazing sense of humor were only just the very top of the mountain of perfection named Edward Cullen.

I pretended I was playing with my phone, while I was ogling Edward. He was talking and joking with Jasper. Right now the conversation was about some car brand I didn't knew. Edward was laughing, while thoughtless a little playing with the keys in his hands. I peeked at his fingers. Even those looked perfect.

"Rose! You done?" Jasper now yelled in the direction of Rose her room. I jumped 5 feet in the sky whereby he and Edward looked at me as if I was crazy. I never claimed I wasn't.

"5 Seconds!" She told us. I silently prayed Rose meant 5 seconds on the clock rather than 5 seconds in her imaginary world.

Weird enough, within 20 seconds she actually already walked down the stairs. I sighed. Finally.

"Rose, why are you walking as if the world will stop turning and wait for you to go on again till you're actually lying in the pool?" I had to ask. I mean, my father's grandma could order a pizza faster. And she was dead.

Sure enough, Rose rolled her eyes. Furthermore, she ignored me. Probably for the best, because I was right, she was slow. What was she going to say to me? Your head's like a monkey's ass? Well, that would really hurt me..

"Bye mum," I yelled really hard. "Love you."

Rose raised her eyebrow at me – I don't get why she does that so often lately.. it's my thing! – and covered demonstrative her ears with her hands.

My mother's voice came from somewhere in the house, probably my parents study. "Goodbye, my darlings! Be sure one of you has a key, I might be at the mall when you come back." I rolled my eyes. "Love y'all," she called in an okie twang.

I laughed. Maybe we weren't by blood related, Sue was just as crazy as I was.

In the car, I rumbled between Edward's CD's. I knew exactly what I wanted. Sure enough, Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown was the last CD I pulled out the CD box. I asked Edward why that was, half just so I could hear his voice.

"We listened it only a week ago." I told him.

Edward looked at the CD in my hands. "Erm, yeah, I took them all out this morning. I replaced the CD's I rarely ever listen to with new ones."

"Okay," I smiled. "You mind if I put this one on?"

Edward never minded, but like you know, I'm raised to ask so. He shook his head and gave me his crooked smile. I almost forgot what I wanted to do with the CD before I did so. I took care the first song was skipped, because I thought it was annoying. At the first tones of the next song made my day better all over again. Jasper, Edward and I sang along with the CD the whole ride long. Only Rose didn't, apparently she was too busy with texting Emmett.

Then one of my favorite songs from the CD was played, and I forgot I was irritated with her. I didn't know why I liked it so much, it made me sad.

Do you know what's worth fighting for
When it's not worth dying for
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating

I guess I sort of liked it, because it made me think of life, and love. Maybe that sounds weird, but it makes sense, in a way. Although I think love is worth it to die for. Well, real love.

Does the pain weighs out all the pride
And you look for a place to hide
Did someone break your heart inside
You're in ruins

I listened a lot to this song when I had broken up with Jake. Of course, I was the one who told the other it was over, but it was still difficult for me. I had trusted him, I had loved him, and most important, I had given him my heart, and when he threw it back at me, it had a hole in it.

Time had healed it, but the place where the wound had been was still sensitive. And I'd rather not test it again.

Suddenly I wanted to listen to something else. I searched for the Eclipse Soundtrack CD I'd put between Edward's CD's ones and was glad when I found it almost immediately.

"I'm sorry guys, I just want to listen to one song, since we're almost at the pool."

" 'S okay," Edward replied. "Watcha gonna listen?"

"You'll see," I smiled mischievously, I knew everyone in the car liked this song.

I turned the volume up. Everyone acknowledged the song immediately. I began the first line.

"After tonight, who'll knows where we'll be tomorrow"

Edward completed my sentence.

"What if we'll never hear again"

Jasper grinned and continued.

"After tonight, this will be a lifetime ago"

Rose sighed and rolled with her eyes, but decided to act like a normal person (Or at least as normal as a Swan can be.) She sang.

"So let's stay up until the sky bleeds red"

We grinned like we were idiots but sang the rest of the song just together.

And we'll stop stop stop the world from moving
Stop stop stop the clocks from turning
Stop this night from fading away

This time is ours
If I could hold this moment in my hands
I'd stop the world from moving
I'd stop the clocks form turning

This time is ours
Inside a frozen memory of us
And we are motionless, motionless

I knew what the text for the next stanza was, and I glanced to Edward. Our eyes met, but when I felt my cheeks burn I acted as if the car before us had really interesting wheels, while I tried to cover my left cheek with my hair. My curls were stubborn, though, and they didn't want to hang for my cheek. Well, it would've looked weird, anyway.

You're like a dream
That I have just awoken from
Fading away, just out of reach
And we are here
But I already miss you
Even as you're l
aying next to me

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

My plan was certainly not to wait till Rose was done dress-wrestling, so I quickly took my baby-doll dress – a simple sun dress is easy when you're going to do something where you have to take you clothes off – off and got as fast as I could to the pool, before she could ask me to wait for her. Luckily, I had been smart enough to wear my swimwear under my dress. If Rose would ask where I had been, I'd tell her that I was under the impression she was already done and gone because I'd taken much time myself.

I practically ran to the showers and almost bumped into Jasper, who walked in the opposite direction.

"What are you going to do at the cubicles?" I asked. "Did you forget something in your locker?"

Jasper told me something we both knew already fourteen years. "You really have to know everything, huh."

So I raised my eyebrow.

"If you want to know, I forgot Edward. He gave his bracelet to me for a sec, because forgot something in his car. At least, that's what I think. But I have the thing still, and I think he might need his locker."

The plastic-or-something bracelet they gave you at the entrance, was the only thing you could use to open your locker. Jasper waved at this moment with Edwards bracelet to me.

"I can give it to him. I still have to grab an elastic for my hair, anyway." I lied smoothly.

" 'Kay," my brother told me. Jeez, so much for a simple 'thanks'. Well, actually, I should thank him, but he didn't have to know that.

With a big smile on my face I ran towards the lockers and cubicles. "Edward? Where are you?"

With a grin on his face he stepped out of a cubicle close to my left. I hadn't expected he was so close and I frightened.

"Are we a little jumpy today?" He laughed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know we were playing hide-and-seek."

I screwed my face up and mumbled to the floor. "I thought you might need your bracelet."

"My what?" he looked at the plastic strap in my hand. "Oh, yeah, thank you."

I smiled and held it up for him. When he wanted to take it, I let it fall, accidentally. But he was fast and grabbed it before it reached the ground. Too bad I wanted to do the same thing, and we bumped with our heads against each other. Ow, that was going to leave a mark.

I rubbed my head. "I'm sorry," I looked at Edward with big eyes, afraid that he was hurt as well. Darn it, how clumsy can you possibly be? Every time Edward was around me, I made him hurt. Translation: by now, he had to be almost as black and blue as I normally was.

Luckily, he laughed. I hoped he wouldn't get a bump out of it. "It's okay Bella, don't look at me as if you just shoot me accidentally. I should be used to your clumsiness by now, shouldn't I?"

I turned one corner of my mouth up, but realizing it would rather make me look like a idiot than make me look as hot as it made Edward, I turned the other corner up, too, and laughed happily at him.

Then Edward looked at the rest of my body and whistled approvingly at what he saw. I was glad I had found a nice monokini. It was baby blue with a red sort of pattern, I thought it was cute. Apparently Edward thought so, too. That made me even happier. I didn't know what I should say, so I just giggled.

The elastics for my hair long forgotten, we walked towards the showers and after that we jumped in the recreation bathe. Alice immediately swum to me and whispered.

"Omigod! Where were you all? Where is Rose? Look at Embry and Leah! " she chirped.

"Alice," I begged her. "Breath."

"Yeah, yeah, sure, but have you seen Embry and Leah?" she turned my head to the right and I could see Embry and the beautiful tanned girl somewhere in a corner from the pool, very cozy indeed.

I grinned. "I don't think he'll talk much with anyone besides Leah today." I was so happy for him. Leah was smart, pretty and very nice. I hoped it would work out.

On that moment we saw Emmett walking to the lockers and cubicles. What was he going to do there? I voiced my question.

"Emmett said he had to go to the toilet." Jasper said. I hadn't even noticed he'd swum to us, too.

"But the toilet's that way." I pointed to what was practically the opposite direction.

"Emmett knows that," Alice told me. "He's going to Rose, obviously."

"Ooh." I grinned. "Well, let's not disturb them, shall we?"

Alice grinned wickedly.

"Well, I see we'll have to entertain ourselves, because the others seem to be busy," Edward declared.

"Yeah, where's Angela, anyway?" I asked Alice, since she'd said in her text that Angela would ride with Emmett and her.

"Ow, uhm, Ben is sick, and Angela is going to sit the whole day beside his bed or something," Alice rolled her eyes. Yeah, that really sounded like something Angela would do. On the other side, Now I knew Edward, I didn't think I would've had much fun if he wouldn't be able to make it. So I got her point.

I decided to change the subject. We weren't here to gossip about our friends, so I chose safe over sorry and called: "Who wants to go down the water slide!"

Alice yelled. "Yeah! Let's go down the water slide!"

I laughed to her ridiculous behavior. Then I called: "The last one pays chips for us four!," and pushed Edward underwater. I swam to the water slide as fast as I could. Fortunately, I could swim the fastest of all my friends. I only didn't know how fast Edward could swim. When I reached the edge of the pool, I scrambled on the side and run as fast but careful as I could to the slide.

Of course I slipped. I prepared myself to land on the slippery floor, but two hands grabbed me by my waist and put me with my foot on the floor again. I turned around to thank Edward, but he grinned and ran away. I startled, but saw Jasper and Alice right behind me and started to chase Edward.

Of course, I couldn't get a hold of him after that. But I was second. Alice got a lead on Jasper by pretending she fell. She would hang to his neck and arm as if she'd stumbled and when he turned around to ask if she was okay, she pulled him down and chased me, as fast as she could.

That's how Jasper bought us chips.

We really had a fun time and we indeed, just as Alice and Edward had said, didn't saw much from Emmett, Rosalie, Embry and Leah, but we hadn't less fun because of it.

"You coming with me in the sauna?" Edward asked suddenly when we were alone for a couple of minutes.

I tried to dispel the image of a hot, sweating Edward, together with me alone, in the sauna… "Yeah, sure." I smiled before I swam away when I felt my cheeks burn. Edward caught up with me and pulled my leg back when I almost swam past the little stairs that lead to the side.

I laughed, but got a gulp chlorine water in. Yuk. I spat it out and made myself long, with stretched legs and arms, so I would lower to the bottom of the pool. Edward was already on the little stairs-thingy. In my way down, I pulled Edwards legs with me. At least, that was the plan. But I definitely shocked when I grabbed the pipes of Edwards swimming trunks. I let go of them, but it was already too late. Edward was showing his whole butt to everyone in the pool, not to mention his thingamabob to everyone not in the pool. Was I mentally ill? For god sakes, why the heck did I have to give this utterly hot boy a trauma?

"I'm s-so sorry," I whispered.


OMG OMG OMG :| xD
