Bella sat in the passenger seat of one of the Cullen cars as Edward drove the way to the Forks High School Reunion for the Class of 2011. It was almost surreal that five years had already passed but it felt as if only months had passed. Time moved differently when you were immortal. She sat there focused and concentrating in the silence. Raise shoulders as if you're breathing, fidget, don't sit straight, blink, clumsy Bella as they all remembered her to be. So much to remember really, but she could do this she had to. He pulled up to the hotel that it was being hosted at and the Valet took their keys. Standing on the steps to the hotel, she leaned against the large white pillar where Edward came join her with his hands in his pockets. They promised to wait for Jasper and Alice to all enter together.

Edward did not need to hear Bella's thoughts about how she was feeling as he could see it in her body, he cast glances at her as he continued to drive, watching her go over some of the 'human refreshers' that she had been taught; fidgeting, breathing and blinking her eyes several times. He remembered when Carlisle and Esme had taught him those very same lessons many years ago. As the hotel came into sight where the reunion would be attended, a part of him dreaded tonight, but he knew that he had to keep his worries too himself. As he parked the car, he and Bella waited by the entrance to the hotel and waited for Alice and Jasper to arrive, knowing that his sister always liked to make an entrance.
He could see Bella's uneasiness as he turned to her and whispered in her ear "Everything will be fine, trust me Bella" as he caught the sound of a familiar engine of Alice and Jasper's car coming into the parking lot.

-I was excited. Well. For parts of the night anyway. Jazz and I had driven in silence mostly, our hearts were tune so speaking wasn't always necessary with us. As Jazz deftly maneuvered our car into a spot near Bella and Edward, I quietly murmured to him that Bella might need him tonight..to calm her down. So to be ready. She was so anxious already, it frazzled in the air around us. He nodded, picked up my hand and kissed it before we both got out into the cool crisp night air. The high pitched "beep beep" of the car alarm key chain in his hand went off before he slid them into his pants pocket. Mmmm...my Jazz sure did clean up well. Moving up to my brother and sister law, my face split in a huge smile-Now or never, guys. Ready? -looking around the parking lot at the number of cars, people still arriving. And..I had to say it..we WERE the best dressed-

~they had gotten ready relatively quickly, both of them looking their absolute best for the reunion tonight. She had on a new dress, Emmett was wearing a nice suit; he had even bought her a corsage that matched her dress. They looked absolutely amazing if she did say so herself.~ Do you really think that everything will go okay tonight? ~she asked him for what had to be the fiftieth time. She had been nervous about going; she knew that everyone was going to realize that they hadn't changed in the few years they had been out of school. She had dyed her hair to make herself look a wee bit older, not wearing too much make-up as to not be too showy. But she still couldn't help but worry.~ ~he told her, yet again, to not worry and that everything would be fine, as they slipped into the car and took off towards the reunion~

*Convincing Rosalie to go to the reunion proved to be challenging at first. One, she had not wanted to leave Ryder behind but Carlisle and Esme insisted they'd care for him. Second, she was not thrilled to be going to a reunion of a class they did not attend. Once he told her the reasoning, she nodded in understanding and reluctantly agreed. She purchased a new dress and was ready in no time. Jasper and Edward knew they were going to show up but the others did not. Pulling up right behind Jasper, he handed his keys to the valet and led Rosalie up the stairs to meet them.*
"Going to the party without us?"
*He grinned and placed his hands in his pockets. They all asked why he was there and he told them he was going to remain incognito and just be there if needed. Alice insisted they go inside and grabbed Jasper by the hand leading him inside. Bella gave him a look and he chuckled, Edward placing his hand on her back and leading her inside. Looking to the side at Rose he grinned.*
"Let's go party."

Mike finished helping Jessica with the last bit of decorations, sighing at Eric's excitement to see everyone. Angela had her camera ready to go, some things never changed. People began to gather inside the main ballroom of the hotel and he watched as they all entered, signing their names and grabbing 'Hi my name is...' tags. "Mike! Mike!" He turned and looked up at Jessica who was hanging balloons. "Hand me the balloon please." He reached up and handed her the next set, then helped her from the ladder. "Are we done yet?" She sighed and pat his arm with a nod.
That's when he saw her, Bella Swan...er, Cullen. She was...she was breath-taking. And...on the arm of Edward Cullen. They were, unfortunately still together. Damn.

~Angela was now his wife and they had one beautiful little boy together, who was being watched by his in-laws. Nothing made him more happier than coming to the class reunion and seeing all the familiar faces. He was looking forward to seeing Edward and Bella and how they'd grown. Waving at Alice and Jasper he went over with Angela to catch up.~
"Hey guys, glad you came. Great to see you, Alice you look stunning. Jasper, you clean up well."

Jessica watched his eyes go from her to Bella and sighed. "Really? Stick your tongue back in your mouth will you?" She was still fuming over their last fight about him coming tonight. Finally he'd proposed and still acted like a pompous ass most of the time. She had the ring, but Bella had his attention. The tight red dress she wore did not make him budge at all, only getting a "you look good" compliment. Edward.Cullen. Dear god he was so sexy in that suit. How had Bella managed to win his heart she still wondered, but they looked like supermodels and her jealousy grew. Throwing on a fake smile she skipped over to Bella and hugged her, making sure to say loudly. "How are the married couple!? What have you been up to? Do tell!"

Angela smiled and clicked a few pictures of those arriving, everyone looking great. Five years had done them well, she however had not changed much. Okay, maybe she outgrew the nerd stage and filled in a bit, the looks of some of the old jocks made her grin but she was here with Eric. What can she say, cliche' as it is...she fell in love. Hugging Alice and Jasper she stepped back and took a photo of them, then turning to take one of Jessica and Mike talking to Bella and Edward. Woah...lowering her camera she gawked at them. <Do they model now or something?> She asked still looking at them. They hadn't changed at all. Bella was stunning! Then Rosalie and Emmett entered and she furrowed her brows. <Why are they here?> Turning to Alice in wonderment.

Immediately she felt the heat of a million eyes on her. Alice and Jasper were greeted by Angela and Eric who looked really great together. Angela lost the glasses and gained a lot of hotness. She was happy for the girl who she considered a friend. Emmett and Rose entered behind them and she heard the whispers of concern already. Vampire hearing sucked sometimes. Jessica ran up to her and hugged her eagerly as Mike's eyes raked over her dress. She shifted nervously and looked up at Edward, wrapping an arm around his waist. "Well, I'm going to college to be a teacher. Took a break for family...stuff." She nodded and kept it vague, remember the story. Esme had given her many details she could use, she raised her shoulders as if to breathe and blinked.

Edward felt his head starting to hummer with the invading thoughts of everyone around him, he had been so used to not having to block others out as he had mainly only been around the Pack and Charlie but they had all been withdrawn from society as they entered the grand hall, after collecting his name tag 'Hi my name is Edward' like they really needed name tags to know who they all were. He pushed all thoughts aside as they were greeted by Eric, Angela, Jessica...and Mike Newton.
How things had not changed, he could hear from Angela that she was worrying about her son that she had with Eric. From what Edward could hear, he was the splitting image of Eric. And the occasional lingering glances from Jessica he knew that she was trying to keep herself in check.
"I am musician, piano" he smiled which was not a lie. Catching a smirk from his brother Emmett as he tried to block out his thoughts.

-so...this is what it was all about? The fuss and all? It seemed to be just barely more than our prom had been. I mingled, Jazz close to me, one eye on Bella, Edward and Mike. Jessica...ugh. I don't generally try and judge people but if she were any more plastic, she'd be a Barbie. It was good though to see Angela and Eric once more, I'd really enjoyed their company before. Nice to catch up and for anyone who asked what I'd been "doing all this time", I'd sweetly murmur how I was about to try and open my own boutique of fashion designs, how I'd attended college and received my masters in fashion design. It was amazing how easily it came to me...and then I realised, why not? Perhaps I'd talk to Jasper later about it..maybe buying our own shop..somewhere. Hmmm..yes. Forcing my attention back to the milling crowds, I was proud of Bella, I was. She was doing so good! Rolling my eyes at Rose, the disdain in her eyes so visible as she moved around. She never had been ...coy. Sliding my hand into Jasper's once more and giving it a gentle squeeze, I met Edward's eyes and smiled.-

*Smiling at our old classmates and answering questions, I held onto Alice and kept an eye on Bella. I mentioned to Eric that I had been to college and was working at a law firm, while furthering my education to become a lawyer. I could feel the unease working up in Bella and I immediately diminished it, hoping to get her through this. I bent down and kissed Alice on the temple, pulling her into the main ballroom. Alice was excited and chatty the whole time. I loved her like this, I could tell she was having so much fun. I could also feel her disdain for some, looking over at Jessica, I smiled. Could she be any more phony?*
*Leaning down to murmur in Alice's ear, but loud enough to be heard by the humans*
"Would you like something to drink, my love?"

~she hadn't said a word since they got into the building. Her eyes just glanced over everyone, she smiled occasionally and she sat at a table with her legs crossed elegantly as Emmett paced around. They both kept their eyes on Bella and the others~
~there was no way to put it other than she really, really did not want to be there. As Alice looked at her, and rolled her eyes, she smirked and fought the urge to shake her head.~
Is there a law that says we can't come to say hi to our old, younger, classmates? ~she said in response to the question that Angela asked Alice.~

*He grinned* "Oh yeah, growing like a weed." {She doesn't even look like she had a kid!} *Emmett chuckled and took his wallet back that he showed one of the jocks who had always pestered him in high school about joining the team.* "That's my Rose." *Hearing the compliments of how perfect Ryder was made him smile and move back over to the table Rosalie sat at.
"What's the matter Angela, not happy to see us? We won't crash the party just came to say hi." *He grinned and pulled his wallet out* "Have I showed you a picture of our son?"
