My brothers and I were headed for the edge of the cliff when several rangers approached us saying that this spot was closed, due to a missing persons report.
"Oh, wow. Is everything alright, have they found the person?" My brother Jasper was sensitive and always was concerned about others.

"Wow that's unlucky. What happened?" My brother Emmett was also concerned, but I could also tell that he was slightly bummed that he would not be going down the 'hill of doom' as he called it.

"I'm sorry; I can't give you any information." The ranger turned continuing on his mission to keep the mountain closed.

My brothers and I had come to Alaska to have a vacation from our tedious jobs. Emmett was large; there was no other word for it, but a giant teddy bear. He was also twenty- five years old and the next in line to receive the family business, medicine, which he wasn't looking forward to, but knuckled down and kept his complaining to a minimum.

Jasper was twenty- three and tall with a lanky structure. As I said he is the sensitive one and seems to know how you're feeling before you do yourself. He was going into the other family business of weaponry, as a military weapons specialist.

As for me, I was the youngest, age twenty-one, not a bad looking guy, with this messy hair that would never do what I wanted it to, even though it seemed to attract the ladies. I was going into music; as the baby I didn't have a business plan already laid out for me, so I planned to do with my life what I choose.

We were the Cullen brothers, three of the hottest guys in the state of Washington and were ready to take on the world. That was until our eyes caught site of three gorgeous women on snow-mobiles, heading back up the mountain. One had four giant dogs attached to the back of her tow. Her brown hair was billowing out behind her and she was staring right at us! So were the other two, the short one on a yellow snowmobile threw her head back in a laugh. They turned their heads back in the direction and tore off, snow falling behind them in their wake.

Ooh man were we in trouble now!

I put the dogs back on the snowmobile, having a little trouble because they clearly would have rather played, when my two sisters showed up on their own snowmobiles, with worried expressions. I smiled, informing them without words that everything was okay.

They pulled alongside me and pounced for details. While we successfully reined in the dogs I told them about the successful rescue of the little girl. They too had trouble sleeping sometimes with Alex always on the back of our minds.

We got on and headed back around the mountain, when Alice paged us, (we had something similar to walkie-talkies on the side of our helmets, so we could talk easily) she wanted coffee. We turned slightly and began our ascent up the mountain instead.

Rose called out suddenly, "Ooo- la-la, look at the hunks at ten o'clock" Alice and I glanced over. Three tall guys in ski masks toting snowboards were standing behind the red tape that blocked the mountain.

One was huge in a black and green ski suit holding a matching snowboard, the one in the middle was tall wearing a yellow and black suit, however his board was white, and the other one had this messy mat of bronze colored hair that went in all directions on the top of his head. He was in a blue and black ski suit, with a snow board that blue.

"Ooh yummy," was Alice's reply, "I call the tall blonde," she yelled. "Alice don't yell!" she repremanded. "Well I get the big hunk of a man on the left. I guess that leaves Bells with the bronze haired boy." Alice and Rose started laughing and raced to the top, leaving me behind with the dogs. That was fine; I doubted that guy would give me the time of day anyways. I kicked up a gear and raced after the girls.

Nestled at the top were a sporting goods store, the ski lift exit, and a Starbucks. We got off the ski-doos, making sure that they were locked and secure, not really needed to do so because of the protective dogs that were attached to the back.

Entering the Starbucks we began taking off some of the gear, waiting in line behind many others, not needing to decide what we wanted, as we were regulars and hardly ever veared from what we liked- only on special occasions. Or maybe because this place was so packed all the time it was just easier to know what you wanted before you got to the counter.

After standing in line for about ten minutes, I noticed that the three guys from the top of the mountain had entered as well. I nudged my sisters and nodded to the entrance. I was covered because we weren't the only ones checking out the three-some entrance, so was every other girl in the place and there were a lot of girls.

The place was rather small so the close packed quarters was starting to get to me, noticing the quickly filling coffee shop Rose went over to grab a table before the were gone. This was the only restraunt on the top of the hill, so it was normaly packed- but I guess that kept up busines. Alice went to the side counter and got straws, napkins and the like, while I approached the counter and ordered our typical drink orders. As workers on the mountain and regulars, we came to know the workers well; we also happened to know the owner to the shop- an old friend of the family named Billy.

"Hey Billy,"

"Let me guess, hot chocolate, de-cafe nonfat late, and an espresso?!" he joked.

"You know us so well," I laughed as I dug through my wallet for the right amount.

"No need its on the house. Attention ladies and gents, I would like to give a toast and a hand to the Hale girls for another search and rescue mission completed!" he shouted to the room, my face went ten shades of red and I smiled shyly as applause went out to my sisters and I. I grabbed our drinks and headed to our table, receiving 'congratulations' and 'great jobs' along the way.

As I got to the table Alice turned and went, "My goodness word travels fast!" Noticing my face she added, "Calm down Bells, you do this every time Billy announces 'congrats'."

"I know, you'd think I would be used to it, but it's not about the glory for me,"

"Bella it's not about that for us either, but you don't have to get embarrassed for doing your job." Rose stated logically.
"I know, that doesn't mean it wont happen again though," at this my sisters laughed, agreeing wholeheartedly.

We chatted about the search, about shopping, and the mysterious men on the mountain, when out of no where they turned up, standing before us in all their manly glory.
