Yay, I reached 27 reviews, keep going!!! It's storming here now so my INTERNET sucks today so sorry for the delay. Sorry for any typos I still don't have a beta.

This is for SisterCat144 who had her birthday yesterday. Happy birthday!!!

Thanks to everyone who has added my story to their Alert or Favorite, but mostly thanks to my reviewers!!!

I started to wonder if I was beautiful.

Alice pulled me up the stairs to her bedroom, and then made me turn back to face the door.

"Alice," I began, "How am I supposed to look at myself in a door? You have a gigantic mirror in your bathroom you know."

"I know that silly Bella, but I don't want the first time you see yourself to be full of forest, and buck." she said as she pulled a green lead out of my hair.

"Oh," was all I said, but that was all Alice needed.

She set to work beautifying me all the while talking to herself. Sometimes she would scold me saying, tsk tsk, couldn't you two just wait until we got home. I have so little time, and almost no good clothes to work with for you, and then I would giggle, and she would give my a little slap on my arm as she tugged a brush through my hair getting the leaves out.

"Finally. Oh Bella, you look absolutely beautiful!" Alice exclaimed as she spun me around to face her. I was nervous. It had only taken Alice about 5 minutes to change me, and work on my hair. Thankfully she didn't plaster any makeup except for a sheer lip gloss on me.

She led me to her bathroom door, and we walked into it together. I gasped at what I saw in the mirror.

The creature staring back at me through the mirror was absolutely gorgeous. I wanted to doubt that it was me, but when I moved the figure in the mirror moved. I slowly touched my cheek marveling at how graceful and smooth my movements seemed.

Alice had been merciful to me. She had left my hair down so it fell around my face in soft natural bouncy wave like curls that I never knew I had. She had also made me wear a denim skirt that came about mid thigh with a tight dark blue v neck shirt showing just a little bit of the small cleavage that I had.

Alice really did know how to make a person look good. I felt stylish and sexy at the same time, and while the clothes were different from my usual I still felt comfortable.

I wasn't used to the shortness of the skirt, or the tightness of my shirt, but I wondered briefly if Edward would like it.

"C'mon Bella, it's time for us to go."

On the Flight to Colorado BPOV

We were in first class of course, but it still didn't help the assault of senses that were being thrown at me. When we stepped into the cab, I was absolutely petrified, but Edward held my hand the whole time, and Carlisle told me to stop breathing so I did.

Alice just sat there smiling the whole time. Giving me the sense that she felt we were acting over the top since she had already seen that it would be fine.

But it didn't matter that Alice had seen it. Carlisle was in awe at my control. Edward was freaking out that I would hurt myself, or worse do something that I would punish myself for. Alice was anxious to get out of Forks, and me....

Well, I was absolutely petrified.

What if I made a split decision to kill. That wouldn't register with Alice until I had decided it. I was worried. I normally would never bet against anything Alice said, but I was new to this, and this just all seemed to be happening so fast.

I held my breathe the entire time in the cab, and I continued to hold it as we walked through the airport.

It was uncomfortable, but I didn't want to give myself the chance to make any rash decisions that I would regret.

As we walked, people stared. I had always realized that when I was a human. That everywhere any of the Cullens went people would stop and start to gawk at them because of their unnatural beauty.

And while I had intended to become a vampire one day, I had not anticipated the major amount of staring and whispering that I was receiving.

Thankfully, nobody seemed to notice that I wasn't really breathing. They were too busy trying to act like they were just going about their business instead of actually watching us.

Edward tightened his hold around me as we passed a couple of rowdy looking college boys that were cat calling after Alice and me. I assumes that the flight attendant had probably given them too many little bottles of alcohol from their flight.

We boarded the plane, and I sat as close to the window as I could. I wanted any fresh air that came in to be by me.

I couldn't help the little bit of pride that surged through me. I had already passed through at least 1,000 humans, and while the smells were tempting I still remained in control of myself. I smiled at the thought.

I could hopefully pull through this. It was only a 3 hour flight.

Edward and me sat in the front row closest to the cock pit, and Carlisle and Alice were directly across the aisle from us. Luckily, nobody was in the row behind us, so when the attendant closed the thick gray curtain we were separated from the rest of the plane.

The flight took off, and we stayed silent and still until the Seatbelt On sign flashed off.

"Try to take a breath Bella," Carlisle stated. "You need to give yourself small doses to help build your tolerance."

I nodded at him. "Edward, get a tight hold on me please. I don't want to suddenly decide to run and attack anyone."

He quickly moved so that he was hovering over me slightly with his arms tightly pressed against my shoulders holding me still.

Edward kissed my forehead lightly telling me, "I got you Bella. I promise I won't let you do anything that you'll regret."

I looked into his eyes, and let my mind focus. I opened my mouth slightly, and took in a small breath.

Carlisle and Edward stared at me with wide eyes, and Alice just kept staring out the window trying to hide the smile on her face. It amused her that we just didn't take her word without hesitation.

I smiled then too, and took a deeper breath. It felt natural, and the fire lit in my throat, but it was nothing compared to when I let my instincts go when I hunted for the buck.

"Bella," Edward spoke gently. "Are you okay?"

"I feel alright Edward. It does burn, but it is just like the itch I felt before except slightly more irritating. I definitely don't feel as thirsty as I did when I let go and went after the buck."

"Hmmm, this is so interesting and different." was all Carlisle said, but he turned his head away to go back to his own thoughts.

Edward still looked at me apprehensively, but he let go of my shoulders sliding back into his seat next to me, but keeping a firm hold on my hand which was now entwined with his.

I looked at our hands, and sighed. I had actually thought that I would never see this again. That we would never get to be together even though I knew that my heart would always belong to him. We still had a long way to go before I was totally okay with all of the pain that was inside of me, but now wasn't the time.

Right now I just wanted to enjoy the peace and joy that being with him brought to me. I wanted to take advantage of our newfound intimacy, and my new and durable body.

If this was a dream or a short mental lapse of some sort that I was experiencing than I didn't want to pass anything up.

I would deal with the pain later when I knew that he wasn't going to disappear.

Halfway through our flight I noticed that the flight attendant named Anna kept coming by us asking if we wanted pillows. She never spoke to Alice or Carlisle or even me. She would ask Edward, and he would shake his head no not even bothering to look up at her face, and then she would frown and walk away.

She was an attractive human. She had pretty curly blond hair, and she seemed to purposely sway her hips as she walked trying to make people realize her body. I couldn't blame her too much, she did have a good body.

As she started to make her 8th pass to Edward during the flight, I felt a twinge of jealously and anger light inside me blocking out the irritating itch in my throat.

I looked at Alice, and she winked at me. I took that as a sign that it would all be okay.

Here she came, "Hi again sir, I was wondering if I could get you a pillow or blanket?"

Edward shook his head mumbling a no thanks.

She acted as if she couldn't hear him so she not so casually placed one hand on his shoulder and the other on the armrest and leaned down to get closer to his face.

She was bent over so that her cleavage was fully exposed to Edward if he wished to look.

This lady had no shame!!! I was ready to jump her, as I felt a growl building in my chest, Edward squeezed my hand to calm me.

It silenced my growl, but I was fuming. I bit my lip in anger, but she continued to talk.

"Please sir, there must be something that I can do for you. Anything at all?" she spoke softly as if she was trying to sound innocent and sweet.

This was just too much! Then Edward spoke firmly without even looking up at her. His voice sounded slightly scary due to the lack of emotion he spoke with to her.

"Listen, I think my girlfriend and I would very much appreciate you removing your hand from my shoulder."

I could see the blood rush into her cheeks, and Edward gripped my hand so tightly that it almost hurt me, but I was far away from the fire in my throat.

She could obviously tell we were together since we were holding hands, and kissing every now and then. "What is she thinking Edward? Tell me now" I muttered so fast that I knew she would never hear me. My lips barely moved.

She was still leaning over Edward with her mouth slightly open. Probably trying to think of a smooth excuse to remove herself from the situation.

Edward's reply was as quick as mine, but his sounded tense like he was afraid that the knowledge would not sit well with me. "She is persistent, and thinks she can get me to leave you. She wants me in the bathroom to, um join the mile high club. She isn't used to rejection. Bella....don't be rash"

This woman wasn't even going to back off!

Now I was angry.

This blond suck up was trying to seduce my Edward, and I could only imagine what her thoughts were about him. I wanted to make her jealous and upset that she couldn't have him, couldn't touch him without aggravating him.

Edward was mine, so I figured I could play if I wanted to.

Just then Alice let out a giggle that was out of place in the tense atmosphere between the thick curtain and the pilots cock pit. She had seen my plan.

The giggle was enough to distract Anna, and she whipped her head around to see, and I crashed my mouth against Edward's lips without hesitation.

She wanted to think dirty thoughts about him, well now she could watch the painful realization that it was me taking her place in her fantasies.

He slowly moved his hands into my hair as he moved his lips with mine. I slowly placed my hand on his inner thigh moving my fingers in little circles on his thigh, and I could hear his unneeded breath catch in his throat.

I could hear the twist of her skin as she turned her head back to us, and I could hear her gasp, and then I heard her walk away silently, and then Alice and Carlisle busted out laughing.

I knew that now would be the appropriate time to stop making out with Edward on the plane, and join in with Alice and Carlisle's laughter, but I couldn't.

Edward's tongue was in my mouth, and his hands were tangled in my hair pulling me to him, and all I could think about was him.

My hand was slowly and unconsciously trailing up his thigh to the button on his pants that would allow me access to what I wanted. I didn't care that we were in an airplane. I forgot that we weren't alone.

Anna was in the back of my mind as a reminder that women wanted Edward, but I was the only one that would have him.

If he was going to join the mile high club, then it was going to be with me.

"Bella!" Alice yelled at me. "Stop it you two, our flight lands in 2 minutes, you don't even have enough time."

I groaned in frustration pulling away from Edward's lips. I pulled my hand back into my own lap, and looked at Edward who still had his hands in my hair.

He sighed loudly and kissed my forehead. "Don't worry love, eventually we will get her back for continuously popping our happy bubble." I couldn't help but laugh. Eventually, I would get Alice back for interrupting my time with Edward twice in a row now.

Despite her yelling, she still looked way to amused at what had transpired just minutes ago. Even Carlisle still looked amused.

We landed and made our way through the airport. The others were waiting for us back at the house which was according to Alice built into the side of the mountains. It was isolate, and very hard to get too, but it was huge.

We would be using a rental car to reach our home. Surprisingly enough the car wasn't ostentatious at all. It was a new gray Chevrolet Malibu. I liked it, it was a simple car, and pretty enough.

Edward smirked at me as I relaxed into the heated seats enjoying the little warmth it brought to me.

"What?" I joked, "I can't enjoy the simple things that cost less than $50,000?"

He just kept smirking at me in that adorable way. Argh, I wish that we could just be alone together.

I sighed, knowing I would miss Forks and all of it's greenery and rain, but even I had to admit that Colorado was beautiful.

There were a lot of woods here so it gave me a small part of Forks to keep with me in my new home, and it was all beautiful. Instead of the depressing rain that constantly fell and lingered in the air back in Forks was replaced with a slightly chilly blanket of snowflakes.

Each mountain top and hill was covered with a white dusting, with thick pine tress poking up all along the tops. Each flake that fell was absolutely gorgeous because they each had their own little intricate design to them that swirled them around in little patterns that I didn't think could exist in such a small proportion.

Even the road that led to our new home was surrounded with beauty. It twisted and turned around the mountain, and in some areas the pine trees seemed to arch over from the weight of the snow creating glistening snow covered arches that we traveled under.

We stopped in a long drive way by a huge garage. I had already expected this. A huge garage was a necessity with all of the Cullen's vehicles, and Rosalie's love for the automobile.

"Where's the house?" I asked a little eager. Alice replied, "It's just up the road that way. We parked here because it's easier to run from here than drive since the road narrows, plus there's less risk of damaging the cars."

"So nobody can even drive though?" wow, this was more inaccessible than Alice had let on.

Alice explained then, "Of course people can drive through if they really wanted to, but up here so close to the edge and on such a narrow road, there are very few people who would want to risk it. If we constantly drove our cars up and down the path with ease, then people would began to think we were either extremely skilled drivers or the luckiest people alive."

I understood then. They didn't want to draw any unwanted attention towards them, but then how would people think they reached the house.

Just as I opened my mouth to ask Edward gestured towards a section of the garage. I looked in and smiled. There in the corner of the huge garage sat 8 snowmobiles. Two were red, two were blue, two were gray, and the other two were yellow.

"What's with the colors?" I asked. Carlisle's smile grew then as he replied. "Rosalie and Emmett hated sharing their snowmobiles so we found it easier to color code them so that there would be no fighting."

I couldn't help but laugh. Poor Carlisle and Esme. It seemed that they would always have to treat all of us as children for the rest of eternity no matter how long that was.

He continued talking but he couldn't hide the smirk on his face seeming to remember how childish his children were despite their true ages that basically averaged at 100 years of age.

"Esme and I use the gray, Rose and Emmett have the red ones, and Jasper and Alice have the yellow."

Edward smiled at me. "Ours are the blue snowmobiles love, Esme had it ordered before they left for here so that it would be ready for us."

I was eager to see my new home so I asked, "Are we using those to go to the house today, or..?"

Alice shook her head. "Let's walk today Bella. I want you to see how beautiful Colorado is."

While, all of these things were beautiful it was the view that captivated me the most as we reached the edge. It dropped off into a clear spotless blue that had a white haze swirling in it. It was beautiful enough that it took my breath away. There was no sun, but everything was clear as it was bathed in the blue white glow created from the lakes, snowflakes, and cold.

I felt at peace instantly, and I knew that this would be an amazing place to start recreating my life.

I knew this was a place I could easily call home.

As if to accentuate that point, it was at that moment that Emmett thundered towards me pulling me into a intense bear hug that would have definitely crushed me if I had been human.

"You have no idea how long I have been waiting to do that Bells!" he exclaimed.

Yes, I was definitely home.
