LalalalalaLOVE the reviews I get! They make me smile so much! I brag to my friends about my amazing reviewers. I'm in a very good mood, so this chapter may be a tad fluffy. But then again, you all should know how much I love my fluff. ;]

The next day was the first of November, and it was luckily a weekend. Thank goodness. I had plans to spend the entire day with Jake and his friends at a bonfire for the beginning of the month. It was tradition to celebrate the tribe's long past. I washed the remnants of the previous night's make-up off, not being able to get all of the gold powder and black mascara off. I brushed my hair and then looked in my closet for something that'd be warm for me, but pretty for Jake. I settled on a pair of dark jeans and a thin v-neck violet sweater that would give me some warmth, but didn't completely hide me. I added a pair of black ballet flats, and went to my truck.

Charlie was already out fishing with Billy for the bonfire, but had plans later tonight to investigate some small crimes that had been occurring around our area of the state. As I was in the truck, I grew slightly irritated at every red light that deterred me from losing any time with my Jacob. I got there soon enough though, so that was good at least. As I arrived in the driveway, the house door was already being opened by Jake, and by the time I had unbuckled my seatbelt, he had opened my door for me, and scooped me up in his arms. He cradled me to his chest.

"Hey baby," he said softly, his eyes warm and affectionate. I melted in his arms and snuggled up next to him and laid my head on his shoulder.

"Hey sweetie. Why so eager to see me hon? You just saw me last night." He nuzzled his face in my hair.

"I practically get to spend the entire day with you. What's not to be eager about? By the way, you look pretty. I like that color on you." I smiled

"Thank you babe." I reached up for a kiss, and he gave it to me, and after, he carried me inside of his house. "You really don't have to carry me everywhere, you know," I teased "I'm a big girl you know." He shook his head.

"How many times do I have to explain this to you? I love having you in my arms." He sighed, as if he had just had to explain quantum physics to me.

"You're silly."

"So are you." I stuck my tongue out at him, and he laughed. "The bonfire starts at 6:30, so do you want to leave around 6?" I nodded.

"So what are we going to do for, say 8 hours?" He furrowed his brow.

"Not quite sure. Any ideas?" I smiled.

"Shall we…go to the movies? And maybe get lunch and go bowling with your friends?" He smiled.

"Sounds good. Just got some money for chopping firewood for the bonfire, so I can pay." I looked at him.

"You are not paying for me. I can pay for myself." He shook his head.

"Oh no you don't, Miss Swan. You are my girlfriend. I am allowed." I looked up at him.

"I am allowed to pay for myself." He smiled and leaned down and whispered in my ear.

"My town, my rules." I shivered a bit from the husky sound of his voice.

"Fine, fine," I said, trying to rush away the blush that had erupted on my face, and trying not to see the smirk on his face. We looked up movie times in the paper, and rushed to the first showing of a new horror movie that had come out. Being the wimp I was, I jumped at any dead person that leaped up, and squirmed at any murder that occurred. Jake had his arm around me, and squeezed my shoulder gently whenever I jumped. I leaned my head on his shoulder and turned my head to his chest whenever something gruesome came on the screen. Sometimes it was better not to see those kinds of things, even if they were computer animated or whatnot.

We went to a little quiet restaurant about a mile away from the movie theater. Upon walking in, the server looked Jake up and down with a mischievous smile.

"Why hello there," she said, her eyes focused on Jake. "Table for two?" He nodded, and put his arm around my waist. "Follow me," she said, throwing in a wink at the end. I glared at her, but Jake just gently kissed my forehead. She pouted slightly, but got us to our table. "Feel free to call me if there's anything you need," she purred. "My name's Abby." She left, with an obvious exaggerated sway of her hips. Jake rolled his eyes.

"Jeez. Some girls just don't know when to quit. Can't she see I've already got a perfect girl?" I smiled up at him, and held his hand. He smiled back at me. We looked at our menus, and tried to find something for each of us. When our server arrived, thankfully a different, quieter girl that was not Abby, we ordered for ourselves. I ordered lemon chicken with a side of fries, and Jake got a hamburger with fries. We each got sodas along with it, and talked from across the table until our food came. We played tic-tac-toe on the napkins, and then had thumb wars. We were so silly at times, but I loved how we were together. I couldn't really imagine it any other way.

We ate our food; and it was delicious. As we walked out of the restaurant after paying, we went back to Jake's house and called Quil and Embry. By this time, it was around 2, so I went to their houses to pick them up so we could go bowling in Port Angeles. It was ridiculous. They insisted on not using bumpers, so I repeatedly got gutter balls, while because they were werewolves and had increased coordination, they kept getting strikes and pairs. I got the lowest score of all. Quil and Embry found this hilarious, while I just rolled my eyes. The most competitive in the group was Quil and Jake though. Embry and I found it hysterical when they finally tied at the end of the game.

We played two more games after that, and as soon as we had finished, it was around 6. After getting mixed up directions, we eventually arrived at the bonfire, where some of the tribe was already there. There was Paul, along with a lot more teenage boys, Billy, other old men, and some teenage girls.

Jake held my hand as we walked toward the fire circle, while Quil and Embry raced ahead. I rolled my eyes as they got there at the same time and then argued as to who had arrived first. Jake and I sat down on a bench near the fire, and to my left was a young looking boy who was much taller than me. I always felt short in this town.

"Hi, I'm Seth Clearwater," he said eagerly, offering me his hand to shake. I took it.

"Hi Seth, I'm Bella Swan." I said a little awkwardly

"Oh I know," he said, "everyone knows about you! Jake talks about you all the-" Jake cut him off by clapping a hand over his mouth.

"That's enough little man. Why don't you find some more people to meet Bells?" Seth nodded.

"I'll get Leah first." Seth went off and Jake groaned.

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly. "Do you not like her or something?" He looked up to the sky.

"It's not that I don't like her, it's just that she doesn't exactly have the most stellar personality." Before I could ask what he meant, Seth had returned, with a girl with waist length black hair. She was shorter than him, but taller than me, with an intimidating presence. She had sharp angles in her face, and her eyes but she was still very pretty.

"Hello, Bella." She said, cautiously, not giving away any emotion in her words.

"Hi Leah." I said waving slightly. I didn't know how to react to this odd girl. She sat where Seth had been, and he took his place besides her.

"I'm Seth's sister, and Jake's friend. We've heard a lot about you." She said, a gentle smile starting to appear on her face.

"I'm sorry that I haven't heard much about you," I said sincerely. She laughed.

"Oh it's fine. Me and Jake aren't the closest, so I wouldn't expect you to really know who I am. If you ever want to hang out with a friend besides Jake and his two stooges though, call Seth and me to come over." She smiled, "We'll have fun, plus my little brother here is always pestering Jake to hang out." Seth looked up indignantly."I don't pester him, do I Jake?" Jake laughed.

"Nah Seth, you're just eager to hang out. We'll all hang out sometime when Bella's here, okay?" Seth's face lit up.

"Okay!" Leah smiled. Just then, the fire grew suddenly, as one of the older boys threw some small driftwood pieces covered in sea salt to add different colors to the flames. It went up high, and when it came back down to it's normal height, Billy spoke.

"I am so glad to see so many familiar faces here at the first November bonfire." He smiled. "Is everyone comfortable?" there were several murmured 'yes's and he spoke again. "Then the stories of the Quileute tribe shall begin," he said, his voice taking on a majestic tone before he started to tell the tales of the tribe. I leaned my head on Jake's shoulder, and prepared myself to hear a range of magical stories. He leaned his head on top of mine, and put his arm around my waist, and pulling me closer to him.
