Bella smiled and shook her head as Emmett and Edward went off to hunt, but she knew it was more or less to talk. They hadn't really spent much time together in a while and brotherly time would do them both well. It had been a few weeks since she went into town to check their P.O box so she dressed and grabbed her keys, a day in town may be what she needed. Maybe a stop by the police department to see her father. Drumming her fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of the song on the radio, she smiled and remembered all the drives from her home to Edward's she used to make. Stopping at the post office first she went in and turned the key in the slot, seeing a pile of mail. Mainly junk, but then an envelope caught her eye. The intricate designs on the outside were nice, addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cullen. Was someone getting married? Sliding a finger under the seal, she opened the envelope and pulled the invitation out.  Wow, had the time flown by. It was just yesterday she remembered Jessica giving her graduation speech. Five years...already. Tapping it against her palm, she thought about it for a moment. |

She turned her head and had to do a double take. "Bella?? Bella Swan??" Her eyes wide as saucers, she skipped over to her side and looked her up and down. She looked so different. Sickeningly beautiful and her eyes had changed from the dull brown to a beautiful golden. Her breath left her mouth in an awed gasp. "Omigod! It is you! How-how are you? I mean, you look...great. Are you and Edward still together? Well, *scoff* Duh you are, I sent that invite out. Are you coming...please tell me you guys will come!"

She heard her name and turned to see Jessica standing there with a package in her hands, a smile but awed look. Act human...she thought over and over. Giving her a nervous smile as she always had and tried to fidget with her hair. Jessica stepped closer and she braced herself. She laughed slightly and shook her head, "Well, you know I really don't know. I'd have to check with Edward...um, but we can try."

"Oh you have to come! We have to catch up and all that. Everyone would be thrilled to see you again." She looked down and shifted the box in her hand. "He finally proposed..." She beamed and showed off the engagement ring Mike had given her that past Thanksgiving. "I never thought that would happen, but here we are! Say you'll come!"

"Congratulations. That's--that's really great, so happy for you." She never mentioned a name but she figured it might be Mike Newton. Good for her, she deserved happiness. She did want to see all of her high school classmates again, but was weary on the reaction she'd get on her new "look". "Okay, I can't promise but we'll plan to come. Deal?" She smiled and Jessica seemed to accept that answer, giving her a hug and saying she had to run to finish the plans for the reunion. She was apparently hosting it. Alice would show her up on party planning skills, a smile came to her face at the thought.
She didn't make it to the station, needing to get home and talk to the family and Edward about the encounter with Jessica. If she got an invite, surely the others had as well.
Bella looked down at the invitation and read over it a few thousand times as she waited for Edward to return.

Edward and Emmett had gone their seperate ways after their hunt, he knew that his brother was rushing off to find Rosalie and Ryder knowing that he hated to be away from them both for so long. Edward was talking a little longer on his route back to the house. Feeling the warm breeze wash over his granite like skin that shone like diamonds when the rays of sun-light reflected on his skin. Edward climbed the steps to the house, listening for the sound of movement in the house.
"Bella?" he called out as he scanned around for her "Bella?"

Hearing his voice she smiled and looked up. "In here." She called out from the foyer where she stood in the center of the room. Smelling his scent before she saw him, she closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of his shoes hitting the hard wood floor. Her back was to the door but she felt him.
"Have a nice hunt?" She asked as she listened to his footsteps and kept her eyes closed.

"In here."
Edward followed the softness of her angelic voice as he climbed the stairs to the foyer of the house and found her by the window. He crossed the short distance to stand in front of her, a smile creeping across his face.
"It was...proactive. You know Emmett. Everything is a race, a competition" he grinned "How are things here?" he asked as he placed a kiss on her cheek.

Finally opening her eyes to look up and meet his, she touched his cheek and smiled. Closing the space between then, tilting her head back to reach up and kiss his lips, still tasting the lion blood on his lips. Pulling back and licking them she nodded. "Emmett and his competitions. I missed you."
She looked down at her hands and remembered, "Oh, I went into town today. We got this in." Handing him the invitation she sighed, "And I ran into Jessica. She really wants us to go, like...bad. What do you think?"

"Ah Jessica, i can see that she had not changed one bit since high school" he laughed a little "I missed you to...always" he whispered as he wrapped his arms around her as she produced an invitation. He took it into his hand and quickly scanned over it.
He and his family before Bella had never stayed in one place long enough for a reunion, this would be his first. "Would you like to go?" he asked Bella.

She shrugged, not really sure if she wanted to or not. Part of her did but part of her feared that it would cause too much talk. "I wonder if Alice and Jasper got one too. They were in the same class as us. Are they going?" She knew if Alice was going, she'd be dragged off right along with her best friend. Alice being there wasn't so bad, and if Edward was there that wouldn't be bad at all. "I'll go if they go. Why not, right?"

"Oh Alice will be going, it will be an excuse for a shopping trip. You know Alice....and besides this will be all of our first reunion....We never stayed in one place too long to attend one, it saved all the idle gossip" he smirked as he kissed Bella gently on her nose. "But if you would like to go, then we will" Although silently Edward was skeptical about the whole thing, he would not voice his concerns.

She nodded and smiled. "Then I guess we have a reunion to go to. I'm gonna go call Alice, I'm sure she's already planned what I'm wearing....three times." Shaking her head with a laugh, she'd become accustomed to Alice dressing her like a life size barbie doll. She did however, have great taste and Bella had slowly come to love it. The clothes didn't itch as badly anymore. She reached up and kissed him once more, this time deeply and passionately.
