I want to correct something before anything; in chapter fifteen I somehow forgot that vampires don't have beating hearts, lol, so I had to go back and set that straight—I mentioned Alice's 'heart' fluttering while Jasper spoke to her, which we all know isn't possible, but it's fixed now. I also want to apologize beforehand for the turn my story is soon going to take—please don't hate me—with Nessie. Yes, she is Jake's imprint, however, as you've read thus far, there is an obvious attraction between her and Oliver…I'll leave it at that, just wanted to give you fair warning. Now, before you all slit my throat (mmm, blood), let me also remind you that the Volturri are involved in this story and there is a reason for the probable hook-up. If you want the bottom line, though, Jacob is not going to suffer all the way till the end, so yay! You just need to be patient…like Jacob,lol, well anyway here's the next chapter.

Oh and of course thank you for reviewing! They're my writing fuel.

The brilliance is all Stephanie Meyers, I only own the plot and some new faces.

***************************Oliver***********************************

I woke up with a high this morning. I was excited; we were finally going to get to hang out with Nessie! Ever since she and Jacob had 'made up' we'd seen less of her. I understood, of course, she didn't make it a secret that he was her best friend, but I couldn't control the knot that twisted my stomach every time I saw them together.

It was stupid, really, to even consider that maybe she'd choose us instead of him. I mean, she was his imprint after all, but still…the few times I had seen them together, I couldn't help noticing how different their relationship was than the other love birds I'd seen in our pack. Nessie didn't see Jacob that way. As a matter of fact, I could swear she considered him more like family, like a brother even. I could only imagine how difficult it must be for Jacob; then again, maybe he was ok with it too. That's how the imprint thing worked; WE catered to THEM, so maybe Jacob was whatever Nessie wanted him to be.

Then again…I remembered his warning, his threat of the chance I even looked at her in the wrong way…but that had been before I realized what Nessie really was…

This is where the problem started. I tried convincing myself that both Tom and I missed her, that we wanted her to hang out with us every chance we got…but I knew better…Tom did miss her, of course, but not nearly as much as I missed her…

It had started out small, the attraction I felt towards her. She was the coolest friend I'd ever had, at first, but then…well for one, I realized she wasn't exactly a boy, and then something else happened.

I starting seeing her, I mean really seeing her. Not only was she easygoing, funny, and the fastest twelve year old I knew; she was also caring, considerate, loyal, and all that other good stuff that boys deny even knowing about.

Oh and did I mention she was also the most beautiful creature I had ever set eyes on?

Of course I knew she had always been pretty, but I hadn't really considered it. She grew fast, of that I was aware, but I'm not entirely sure that's exactly what opened my eyes either…she wasn't the only one changing.

At first I didn't notice anything different, I mean, I saw my twin every day and he didn't look any different, so of course I knew I wasn't any different.

Then one day our shoes didn't fit, like, from one day to the next...a week after that the same thing happened with our clothes, and it wasn't because we were getting fat either—though I'm not sure how we avoided that considering we eat quite a bit—as a matter of fact, our bodies were doing the exact opposite…

By the following week, I had a six pack! Now, don't get me wrong, getting a six pack without exercising, it was pretty awesome, but aside from our bodies changing, even weirder things started happening in my brain.

I started noticing things, little things that would have never caught my attention. I noticed how my mom would sigh every time my dad left in the morning, as if him being gone for the day was a sad thing. I noticed how everyday our teacher, Mr. Stolls, walked over to Mrs. Hayes at exactly 10:31, and how she seemed eager every time. I even noticed how the hand lotion my mom had given me really did make my palms baby butt smooth…

But the one thing I really noticed, the one person…was Renesmee.

I noticed how she bit her lip and tilted her head when she was thinking, how by the end of the day her ponytail had fallen halfway out and she'd constantly have to tuck loose hairs behind her ear. I noticed the tender way in which she talked about her family, even Jacob, and how they meant everything to her. I noticed how everything seemed to light up when she smiled; already she had dazzled me on several occasions, I simply hadn't known it at the time.

And even though I knew she was Jacob's imprint, I couldn't help but wonder if there was any chance she could want me…Her indifference to Jacob in that area, despite the unfortunate dilemma it was for him, gave me undeserved hope, hope that by some miracle she could choose me…

Like I said, it was stupid, completely and absolutely stupid. Even if Nessie didn't like Jacob right now, why would she like me? She hadn't even noticed our sudden body changes—mind you they were sudden, but we still weren't even remotely as big as any of our pack brothers.

I sat up from under the bunk bed—Tom had beat me in a race to get the top bunk—so fast that I hit my head.

"Argh!" I muttered, as I lowered my head to get out. Wait, I've never had to lower my head before…

I peered up…no wait, not exactly up…at Tom; he was still under the covers, with his big feet hanging over…lazy, I thought. I went over to the bathroom to shower, stopping in front of the mirror to wash my face first. I almost doubled over when I saw my reflection.

I was at least a foot taller.

(An hour and a half later)

We were waiting in front of the Cullen's house, Renesmee was taking a bit longer for some reason. I looked around for Jacob but didn't see him anywhere. Good, I thought. If he saw how big we were, he might consider letting us do wolf stuff—several weeks ago I would've been ecstatic with the offer, but with my recent 'Renesmee' revelation, the less time I spent as a wolf, at least aside from the cave, the better. I was pretty good at hiding thoughts, but still, one slip and Jacob would have me for breakfast.

She suddenly came out, didn't spot us and ran right into me. I picked her up before she actually hit the ground full force.

"Oh sorry Renesmee," I said. She looked at me and her eyes widened.

"What happened to you guys?" she mused. We all took off at the same time. She continued gawking at us, "You got…bigger!"

Finally she noticed! I flashed a smile at her, and before thinking about what I was saying, said the first dumb thing that came to me.

"I wouldn't be talking if I were you."

And much to my satisfaction, she turned scarlet.

***********************Nessie************************************

I propelled myself to the front, anything to hide my flushed face. How had they gotten so big overnight? I could hear their breathing behind me; I pushed forward, I didn't want Oliver to catch me blushing again. We ran this way all the way to Port Angeles, and after having been going at top speed, I figured it was a good excuse as any to be red in the face.

"Wow, Renesmee," said Tom, breathing in deep, "you're getting faster girl!"

Oliver smiled at me, a sparkle in his eye, "Yeah, are you ok? You seem a little red in the face?"

I narrowed my eyes, don't get me wrong, of the two, Oliver probably is my favorite, but I didn't appreciate him teasing me that way.

"You noticed that did you?" I asked him sharply. His face fell, like I'd slapped him. I immediately felt bad. "I'm just a bit tired," I smiled at him, another vegetable turner; it worked, I'd dazzled him back into happiness.

Tom looked between the two of us and suddenly grinned mischievously. "Alright, let's get this party started," he said. We followed him into the theatre.

As we made our way to our seats, I was very aware of the order in which we went. I was in the front, Tom behind me, and Oliver at the back. I don't know why, but a small part of me was disappointed with this seating arrangement. We filed into the topmost row and I chose a center seat. Tom sat to my right and I expected Oliver to sit next to him, but instead, he etched his way past our knees to sit on my left. I felt a shiver run from my knees to the top of my spine as he slid past me.

"Sorry," he mumbled, his form too big for comfortable 'sliding by.'

"It's ok," I heard myself say, only it sounded like, "zzzkay."

What was going on with me? Certainly my little morning growth couldn't be related to my sudden incoherence?

Oliver sat down and leaned back; even sitting down he looked bigger. I couldn't help it, I asked.

"So, when did you guys start taking steroids?" I asked in a low voice. Oliver just grinned at me. Tom motioned for me to lean in.

"We've been growing steadily these past several weeks, Renesmee, you just haven't noticed," he said.

I thought about that for a moment; I'd neglected them that much that I didn't even notice?

I nodded my head, "But I just saw you guys yesterday, you were definitely a head shorter."

This time Oliver leaned in towards me. "Well, that is weird, but I think you know what it feels like," he gestured with his hand towards the length of my body, "don't take this the wrong way, but just the way you've been growing, I think something similar happened to us this morning."

"Yeah, like it just snuck up on us," continued Tom, but I was only barely listening; Oliver was still leaning over me to be part of the conversation, and my already hotter than average body temperature seemed to be increasing.

"Renesmee?" Tom asked, "You ok? You're sweating…"

"I'll be right back," I said, swiftly getting up. I made my way to the girls restroom and splashed my face.

What was going on with me?

Alright, so what do you think? More is going to happen on this day of fun, I hope I'm not ruining anyone's anticipations, but there's only one way to find out. Review! Let me know what you think. Thanks.
