T – Target: "We shouldn't be doing this." The words were a whisper on the female vampires lips, but her attempts to distance herself from the male vampire, who was using his body to keep her trapped between him and the brick wall behind her, were extremely limited, if not entirely nonexistent. "If he finds out, you'll become his next target and I can't let that happen. We just found each other; I'm not ready to let you go yet."
Edward ran his lips up from her collarbone until they were a mere half-inch from the shell of her left ear. "Do you really think I'm afraid of him? I could care less about how he'll react should he find out. There's no way I'm letting you go, now that I've finally found you. Victoria, I cannot let you walk away simply because you are worried about my well-being. We'll handle this together, and we'll win because we have each other. Nothing is going to tear us apart, especially not James. You have my word."
U – Uakari. "I want a pet." Victoria appeared out of thin air and stood in front of her husband with both of her hands on her hips. "I've never really had a pet before – farm animals don't count in my book – so I think we should get one. If you say 'yes', I'll let you choose what animal."
"Alright, you have yourself a deal," he replied with a smirk while rubbing his hands together in excitement. Usually Edward wasn't a big fan of pets, but this time it was different because he would get to choose and already he knew what he wanted. "I think we should get a Uakari, which is a type of rare monkey. They're extremely rare, and the only breed of monkey with a short tail. I thought our pet should be rare, so that it fits in with our family."
The redhead let out a long sigh, but she was grinning to let him know that she loved the idea. "I suppose we can do that, but I;m not going to be responsible for cleaning up after it. I'll do the fun stuff, and you can do the harder stuff. You wanted a monkey; you clean up after it."
V – Varsovienne. For the first dance at their wedding, Edward and Victoria wanted to do something unique, and the red-haired bride suggested a Polish dance called Varsovienne. Everyone at the wedding was so impressed it was talked about for years to come.
W – Wicked. Even though Victoria no longer consumed humans, there were times when her mind-reading husband saw her get this glint in her eye – the very same glint she'd always had when she was sucking on a human's neck. She got it mostly when she was teasing him – a playful and teasing look, but with slight hints of wickedness in it. Oddly enough, it did not bother her husband; in fact, he found it rather sexy, and often times he found himself doing things to get her wicked side to come out and play for a little. Edward loved this woman and all parts of her – even her dark side.
X – Xystus. One afternoon when Edward came home from hunting with Jasper and Emmett, he found his fiancée and two sisters in the xystus, which had been built so the girls could do their daily exercises without having to worry about Emmett walking by and making comments. It was actually Edward's idea to have it built, because if he had to deal with his biggest brothers suggestive comments about Victoria for the rest of eternity, Rosalie would have ended up a widow.
"I knew I'd find three of my favorite girls in here," he greeted them with a large grin before making his way over to his fiancée. He leaned down to kiss her cheek. "You should have waited for me to get back from the hunt to exercise. You know how much I enjoy watching you stretch and flex."
"Ew!" Rosalie cried, jumping to her feet and grabbing Alice by the arm, yanking her up. "Come on Alice, we should leave the lovebirds alone for a while – unless, of course, you want to test the theory on vampires not being able to throw up."
Y – Yarn. When one lives forever, one needs to think of different ways to entertain oneself so as to keep life interesting. For Emmett, it was playing pranks. On a cold winter day, he pulled the best prank he had ever pulled – in his opinion, of course – without getting caught. All he had to do was wait for Victoria to come home. She was hanging out with Leah Clearwater, who, oddly enough, was a werewolf that hated all 'leeches' – as she called them – minus Victoria, for some odd reason. It was a good thing, though, because Leah was pretty cool, and when she came to visit Victoria, she would always offer to help the Hulk-sized vampire with whatever scheme he had going on. On this day, when she heard what Emmett was planning to do, she offered to keep the redheaded vampire busy for a couple of hours.
"Edward, honey? I'm back, and I have the latest La Push gossip!" Victoria called when she got home later that day. She frowned when he did not reply right away – it was so unlike him. "Baby, where are you?"
Setting down the bag Alice made her take everywhere, she focused on hearing any sign indicating where Edward was. She knew he was home, she could smell him, and so she followed his trail. It did not take her very long to trace him to his bedroom, and when she found him, she began laughing so hard her body vibrated like she was a werewolf on the verge of shifting. Her boyfriend was wrapped in endless amounts of different colored yarn, with tape covering his mouth, and he was glued to the wall. It made her wish she had a camera to capture the moment, but she settled for being grateful that she had photographic memory.
"I take it this is Emmett's handy work," she said, very highly amused, after she'd finished laughing. She ripped off the tape covering his mouth. "You're a vampire for goodness sake! Why didn't you just tear through the yarn?"
"I did!" he told her with a growl behind each word, though it was not directed at her. "And he just kept tying me back up again! I broke free eleven times before I decided I would just put up with it and wait for you to get home. I have all the time in the world and if Emmett puts his mind to something, it's better to just go with it so he doesn't drag it along. Now can you please help me get out of this mess? I have yarn and glue in all the wrong places."
Victoria pretended to think about it before teasingly answering him. She grinned at him. "I was thinking of leaving you there for a while, but because I love you, I'll play hero and rescue you this once." She shook her head, still grinning, before tearing through the yarn. "But you owe me."
The one good thing about being a part of the Cullen clan was the fact she would never get bored.
Z – Zappy. Alice had always been the zappy one in the family. She never could sit still or quell her energetic and enthusiastic nature. Edward had always been calm and collected, but his wife had changed all of that. When she came in to his life, he found a new passion for life. The mind-reader wanted to live, he wanted to experience everything with Victoria, because when he was with her, everything was a thousand times better than it could have been. Victoria Cullen had brought out the zappy side of her husband that nobody had known even existed, and in return, he had done the same thing for her. The love they shared gave the couple a new outlook on life; they had saved each other.
The End!
