Thanks for another great chapter! I love the slow building connection between Betta and Edward. I hope she breaks it off with Jake asap.
Author's Response:
Hi zanyzay!
Glad you enjoyed chapter 8. The connection between Edward and Bella will be slow to build...but the tension will increase quickly. ;) I just love a slow burn. And I think for the places their lives are...it would be silly for them to rush into anything. It certainly has more lasting potential if they take things slowly and let the relationship develop. Glad you see things my way. And Jake...he sure doesn't seem like he's going to be around too much longer, right?
Thanks for taking the time to review and share your thoughts.

Actually u will hear from me now
I'm closer to bella's age group in fact, I am in collage currently and I text like any Normal collage girl so I really should know what bb means lol. :) oh and when I said husband a few reviews ago technically he is my "fiancé"
Author's Response:
Hi again bbbbbbbbbbbbb! ;)
LOL It's funny, writing and getting reviews from readers it is so hard to gauge someone's age. Sometimes I am right on, other times way off base. I think that's funny. And I'm sure my readers would flip if they knew just how many decades I've racked up. (5+!) Your reviews do read a little older than college age to me. Which just means that you come off as mature. I think it's great that women who might not have a whole lot in common with each other find that we do, indeed, have a lot in common when it comes to our hearts and the way we look at romance. This Twilight thing has become a real sisterhood, you know?
Thanks for the reply. Do you have a wedding date set? We just celebrated our 25th anniversary on December 21st. And his name really is Edward...and he really did give me orange roses...not red...without knowing transfer Edward did the same. ;)

I think bb just means "baby." I could be wrong. I should probably just ask my younger and so much cooler daughter. ;) But my regular reviewers who write a little more than the average couple of lines of a review are my bb's to me. ;)

"locking the door behind us" hmmmmm it seems that whenever he does that god things follow? ;)
lol
And your right there is something strangely familiar about E&B the shower.............. but I just can't put my finger on what it is .......hmmmmmm Well I girl can only wonder
Speaking of wonder I can't help but thinking that your sapling......(you know the one of a certin "citrus variety").......will reach it's next stage of life and ......dare I say it .........bloom?...???....in the shower because you know saplings need a lot of water ;) Hmmm.... so much to wonder about.....
Well great as always bb
Lovin' it
Author's Response:
Hi again, Wascas!
So after I responded to your bb question I got to wondering to what age group you belong? Closer to mine or closer to Bella's? ;)
And I would say "locking the door" can only be a good thing, right? And showertime fun for B & E...they were rudely interrupted last time by Jasper bursting in on them in the dorm. Wonder if they'll be interrupted this time?
And I truly believe if you throw a little water on a fire you'll definitely get something steamy. At least a little steamy. Don't forget, they want to take things slowly. It's a more delicious read that way anyhow...I love a slow burn, a steamy burn. And who knows? That sapling may like that steamy, quasi-tropical environment and begin to flourish. ;)
Thanks for the review, bb, and of course, the love! Hear from you in a couple of days!

Hey bb
how's it hangin'? Lol
Perhaps "straight as an arrow" ?
"No, you idiot, not ‘praise the Lord’! More like… damnation! Eternal damnation!!!
But it’s just a harmless little blue bikini!"
It may be harmless but it demands ..................? Attention perhaps? Or something else? Either way it WILL BE EDWRDS DEMISE...... .............hopefully ;)
I laughed out loud at “Somehow I don’t think Edward will be titillated so much as he will be cock-elated.I blushed furiously and Alice rolled her eyes. “Rose, you spend waaaaay to much time in conversation with Emmett. I would say ‘He’s beginning to rub off on you,” but I know that would just lead us down a road we really don’t want to take. So, puh-leez, just don’t say anymore.”
Then My husband looked at me like I was crazy (hmmm.......a pattern perhaps?) and when I tried to explain he looked at me like I was totally crazy but that's ok because he's crazy 2 ;)
Lol
Any way, thanks for all the wonderful chapters so far, this awesome chapter, and of corse for all the amazing lemon filled chapters to come!
Love it bb,
bye 4 now
Author's Response:
Hi Wascas!!
Loved that last review of yours. And if you're asking me, "How's it hangin'?" it might actually be more gender-correct to ask, "How're THEY hangin'?" Age and gravity and all considered, you know? I'm no longer the perky, nubile waif I never realized I was until that era was over. ;)
Glad to see you were able to laugh at Edward's internal struggle regarding Bella wearing the Peacock Blue Postage Stampkini. Surely the mere name of the color must have given away and foreshadowed some of the coming torment for our dear boy. Perhaps his balls matched the color of that suit at some point that morning.
And you liked Alice's take on Rose and her perverted mind. Now we get a little glimpse into what Rose and Emmett must share. ;)
Sorry that your reading this is helping your crazy husband to focus on the fact that the woman he married is crazy and is reading crazy fanfics written by similarly crazy women. We're all in this together.
Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you are enjoying the read. I'm enjoying your reviews. Now...I'm just going to go and post the next chapter... Hear from you soon, I hope.

It was just all miscommunication...She didn't want to tell him everything because she thought it would bother him...instead he was bothered because he saw something and didn't really know what he'd seen, but things sure LOOKED bad.

Can't wait for that to happen! I probably won't manage to read everything at once, but I will read everything! Sucking all in like a sponge....or something else.. =) lmao See what you do to me?! I hardly manage three sentences without an innuendo!!! ^^ Something's.. I mean somebody is rubbing off on me...^^ (And apparently, it gets worse by the second...or word in this case ^^ )
Awwww... das war so ein geiles chapter! I really couldn't tell what I liked best! I loved the way B and E were making out of course! It as so cute how Edward tried to think with the head that's connected with his shoulders and not just give in and rush into things, but kinda failed ^^ Oh well, it's the thought that counts ^^ Also I loved the Cullen-Hale Inquisition /Entourage! God, they are so damn funny! Ooooh, and Emmet's Mediterranean Brownies..that's something that could happen to me too ;D Though I probably wouldn't brag about it =) OMG and I nearly peed my pants at the last part and the imaginary/fake guy-love incident ^^ Thanks for the mental image of Jasper (wearing a skilt) and Edward(flipping his hair) walking down the streets while holding hands =)

I was so happy to hear from you Liebe Sue! So you were flipping out at my update of chapter 37 and meanwhile I'm up to 41. Ream me when you get the chance. I know how it goes. And I'm really just refining things as I go, so that's why I'm speedy. Just keep in touch as you read and suck things up, you little sponge-like-sucker! (Just keep your damn hands off my Edward...no sucking going on there, girlfriend!)
Glad you enjoyed the Spanish Inquisition and the Mediterranean Brownies. The brownies were actually made by my daughter when she was about eleven years old and I wasn't home. She took out the brownie mix, went to use the vegetable oil, discovered it was about empty, shrugged her little not-so-knowledgeable-shoulders and used the olive oil instead. Gag!
And the fake guy-love...I think I'll dabble in that a bit if I ever get to doing outtakes. That would be a scene worth writing about---Edward and Jasper---just to make the girls around them cringe and be wistful. ;)

Thank you so much for the Chapterlove for chapter 25. I LOVED that chapter myself. It came about due to a reader pondering what Mike would have thought and said about the shower scene. Once I started thinking about it I just could barely write fast enough. It just rolled out of my head. It was as if those characters were all there behaving completely in-character and saying exactly the kinds of things you would expect of them.

It's also posted on Twilighted and on fanfic in my profile page. Thank you again for the wonderful job!

Hi t!
Sorry this review reply is a few days late. So...yeah...Jake. Always just so annoying. Couldn't he have found a different night to get into an automobile accident? And you are right on the money about your worries. You're not the only one worrying about her spending time with Jake. I'll post chapter 35 in a few minutes. Hope you enjoy it.

OK omg. They don't even need to worry about the brakes because outside circumstances do it for them. I really hope we get a good uninterrupted time for them soon.
Aside from that, I look forward to how you tie everything for the upcoming weekend in together.
Author's Response:
Hi pixie!
Sorry this is a few days late. But to your review of chapter 34...you are right about the brakes for E & B---no need to worry about them because outside circumstances are keeping them apart. There will be some uninterrupted time soon. You're anxious for some and so are they. But first we have to get through the Jake ordeal.

Your dog and I are both so disappointed about you laughing at poor Dateward's "predickament" during the course of his date with Bella in her hot little Miss Fire Bomb dress.

Emmett---he's such a loveable big lug, isn't he? It's easy to see why Rose loves him sometimes. Such a big kid...but sometimes we get to see his mature side. He'd be a fun dad.
James is indeed a dangerous guy and does need to be beaten to a pulp.

So...chapter 30, you knew the dress and heels would be Edward's unravelling...just like Alice predicted. ;) Alice can only influence Bella's choices at this point. Edward is keeping a tight lip on the whole date thing. He wants to prove how romantic he can be. AND HE CAN BE ROMANTIC!

a second review for Ch 31:
"fuck" is such a versatile word: fuck, fucking, fuckin', fuckers, fucked, fuckit, fuckety-fuck, fuckem (fuck Em!), fuckedup; perhaps an endless list
How many emotions can you express using the word "fuck" or a variation?
Author's Response:
Oops!
Somehow I missed this assignment. All I can come up with is "Fucking Pan-Emotional" That would cover every emotion, I believe. So this turned out to be a relatively short assignment. ;)

No, you misunderstood my little song at the end of the chapter. Edward is obviously NOT a tool in the least! He is a dream come true for Bella and every single one of us that frequents these sites! (We leave the tool-being up to Mike Newton and Jake!) I meant that I am the tool...that Edward would comment "What a tool!" at me for creating that little song to make readers review. :)

You were a busy little reader today! I myself was a busy little writer, working on my other story.
I know...the poor girl in the store, thinking "so near and yet so far." Personally, I'd love to see Edward skip, just to throw off a few girls. ;)
I love what you said about Bella: "Bella better get use to the idea that she will be doing everything they do she is part of them now." You are so right on the money. It's funny how the girl that will be right for Edward has to be right for the entire gang.

Can't wait for the actual date, so much planning is going into it.
Author's Response:
OMG, pixie!
I just always have the image of Jasper listening seriously and intently to some piece of secret information, promising that the secret will go no further and even as he's crossing his heart and hoping to die and sticking a needle or finger in his eye...he is thinking about whom to run off to and tell first! ;) Glad you got a good laugh at that.

English Lit assignment:
How many ways can you use 'Edward' and 'tool'... in the same sentence?
Author's Response:
Okay, BellaRoseBelikov...I take my homework seriously. So here are the results using "Edward" and "tool" in the same sentence:
1. I'll admit I'd fondly fondle fabulous fanfic Edward's tremendously touchable tool. (alliteration!)
2. Thoughts of Edward and his tool make me drool just like a fool. (assonance!)
3. Edward's tool is a drill and I am gladly his screw. (metaphor!)
4. When it sparkles like a jewel, Edward's tool makes my juices pool. (simile!)
5. Edward's tool can fix anything! (hyperbole!)

Good chapter with some fluffy goodness.
I could totally see the gang just getting together to knock like crazy on Edward and Jasper's door.
I think my favorite part was Alice pretending Edward was gay. I cracked up big time. That and the thought of Emmett's Mediterranean brownies.
It'll be interesting to see what Edward and Bella choose to make for a dessert... I expect extra fun times in the kitchen preparing Esme's dinner.
Author's Response:
Hi pixie!
You know they sit around and come up with ideas to harrass Edward...especially now that he's "got girl."
The shopping trip was fun, wasn't it? I like the idea of an outtake of Jasper, Alice and Edward out together, with too much attention from other women forcing them to pull the gay-lovers stunt.
I think you'll like the dessert that E & B make for the party. And yes...fun times in the kitchen is right!

I find it so cute and refreshing the way they act together. A lot of people stay true to Stephanie's Edward who has no problem "putting the brakes on", as you say it. So it's nice to see it in reverse.
I loved how Jasper came in and told them exactly why he was there. So funny! At least Alice didn't fight that one. It'll be fun to see what happens next.
Keep up the good writing!
Author's Response:
Hi pixie!
I'm glad you find it cute and refreshing. I think it's a pretty innocent romance--at least that's what I'm going for. And I want it to be believable and maybe even a little "familiar" to readers? I think we all love that "falling in love" uncertainty, when you are just getting to know someone. That intrigues me...and the butterflies, I love the butterflies in the stomach kind of thing.
I know the canon Edward is more angsty and reserved and in a lot of fics he's also rather domineering if not downright "dominant," but I loved the "falling in love" aspect of Edward. I guess that would be Midnight Sun Edward. I loved him and his honesty about his feelings. So I tried to make an all-human Edward a little like that Edward.
Jasper is a great foil for Edward's more serious somewhat uptight side. There's nothing like a boy in a kilt. Or a woman's skirt...or maybe it's a "SKILT"!
Thanks for the very nice review. Loved it. Hope you like the next chapter. You'll get to see the very elusive silly side of Edward. :)

Eeeeehm....I'm sorry Mrs. Bannersay, but I'm still undecided as to which topic to choose for my essay...is it possible to get a bit more time to write it? It's just that I could basically write one for all the topic choices...and I'd have to rate the pro's and con'r for each of them to eventually decide for the most suitable...I want to pass this course after all! Do you think some extra time could be granted?! ;D LMAO ^^
Damn it woman, you are driving me nuts with your awesome crazyness! First off all, I need to get one of those rain protestion thingy's for my laptop screen, since I - again, I might add- spit my coffee on it! And YOU are the one to blame!!! Seriously, what were you thinking... 'I'm BD. The author of Twilight is SM. If she and I melded into one person, we'd be BDSM. Sit and think about that for a moment. No infringement or spankings intended.' - I laughed my ass of at that! Oh, and I nearly coughed and choked to death..but that's just secondary... ;) That was probably one of the best things I've ever heard! I kinda wish my initials were BD, too... :( LOL
Ooooooo... I think my love for the Cullen/Hale family grown with every chapter! Now that Carlisle and Esme made a semi- appearance, too. I think I'm a lost case...( Yes, I know...I was totally smitten with them all from the very beginning...^^) OMG- poor Edward, getting THE TALK from his parents at 21... I think he summed it all up quite eloquently...what was it that he said.. oh yeah...'for fuck's sake!' ;D Gotta love them all
Again,, I loved the bantering and teasing they all have going on all the time with each other! Ed and Jazz making fun of Emmet and the whole shower thing...LMAO! Yep- definitely love them all! And then Edwward suggested that Jasper has to put the kilt on before going and distract Alice from torturing Bella! OMG- that cracked me up once again! Kilt Powers For The Win! ;D ;D ;D That shit seriously is way too good! ;D ;D ;D
And of course, Edward made my heart meld, my knees go weak, my hear beating faster and my saliva flow increasing, with all his effing cute/sexy/adorableness!
"Well,” I shrugged, “we’ll always have a great story to tell about how we first met. I couldn’t avoid you. And you didn't come into my life gently, did you? You came hurtling into my life; you and you…our…damn cart. Whether I thought I wanted you or not, you were on a collision course with my whole world." I smiled at the look of dismay on her face - Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....! <3
I chuckled, gathering her in my arms and pulling her down against my chest. "Okay, so no meteoroids or asteroids. How about we think of you as my falling star? It sounds less aggressive. You tripped, fell on me in the shower and now here we are." I trailed my fingers through her hair. - *Sigh*
I smiled. Understatement. "No, I'm not disappointed at all. No complaints here. I'm really happy. I found something I didn't even know I was looking for. I think I've just been going through the motions these past few years. You've come along and woken me back up from some kind of static trance. It’s a nice feeling to wake up in the morning and feel happy instantly." - *Swoooooooooon*
Mannomann....der Typ macht mich echt fertig! ;D I can't believe I actually caught up with the chapters already!! What the hell am I supposed to do now?! Mist! Can't wait to read the next one! Dave to assume that Bella'S going to meet the parents soon, huh?!?! ;) Absolutely loved it all!

You wrote a lovely essay. I'm going to hang it on the classroom wall so all the other students of The Transfer can see it and marvel over your abilities! Dankeschoen!
I'm sorry about your laptop...my suggestion is, wear a plastic bag over your head---but remember to poke a few air holes in the top and make sure it's not an opaque one...you still want to be able to read while you are protecting your computer from Kaffeespritzen. (My apologies about the whole BD SM thing...just couldn't help myself.)
With Dr Carlisle Cullen as his dad, I'm sure poor Edward got "the talk" at an earlier stage of life, but you know, his parents were probably wondering if he needed maybe a "refresher course" now that his "dry spell" with the ladies has apparently come to an end. lol (God...I sound like Mike Newton. Kill me quick!) I'd like to imagine Edward's reaction if his phone had been on speaker and Bella had gotten an earful of that convo with the parents. ;)
I love the boys being boys and giving each other shit for stupid stuff...like poor Emmett, probably trying pepper spray on Rose and getting freaky in the shower. And the kilt...you know those boys suspect that kilt has super powers when it comes to Alice. There's just so much fun stuff to mine between the three of them, especially between Edward and Emmett given their relationship and age difference and personality traits.
I'm glad Edward got you swoooooooning. He's definitely swoonworthy! Er macht uns alle echt fertig! Sorry I'm kind of doing these reviews of your out of order. I'll get back to the other ones in a bit. And yes...there is a trip to Port Angeles in the near future.
Danke fuer die Fic-liebe! Bis bald!
Deine,

Whatthefreakinghellwasthat? OMG!!! Thanks so much for the free, all-inclusive roundtrip to Wackoville!!! What a bunch of nutjobs! ;)
Ungh...thanks also for the little insight into the fantastic and over the top delusional brain that belongs to none other than the King of Freaks (and this time- I#m not talking about a good freak like the skirt/kilt wearing Jasper..I mean freak-freak!!), Mike Newton! WTF?! That guy is sooo wrong in soooo many ways!!! The only Freakazoid there is him! Ungh...amazing how he passed his words if wisdom in regards to get into a girls panties to his little minion Crowley....that cracked me up...hmmm...forget about romance...play Monoploy instead!!! FREAKSHOW!!! ;) ;) And the news of B and E in the shower spreading like a wildfire...LMAO!
Oh, bb that was soooo good! I swear, you are crazy! But I love it and wouldn't have it any other way! Thanks for making my day (and my face hurt a little more!! Can you actually get muscle ache in the face?!?! ) with your crazyness! ;D

Halli Hallo!
Thank you for riding with us on the bullet train to Wackoville! Please don't make eye contact with the residents! So yes...a dorm filled with crazies and generally speaking everyone is flipping out because the world has tilted on its axis and has begun spinning in the opposite direction, oh and the seasons are now going in reverse...because untouchable and aloof Edward Cullen was hooking up with FREAKIN BELLA SWAN!!! OMG!!!
At least Newton took it upon himself to delve into the evidence on behalf of the masses, so he could present his little view of the truth. :) And he and Tyler...now we see just what kind of numb nuts these two are.
That chapter was so much fun to write, although I have no desire to do various POVs like that again.
Thank you for reviewing again, bb!

Awwwww....that was just soooo damn cute! ^^ *sigh* I werde richtig neidisch...*pout* No wonder they can't keep their hands- well, actually mouths- from each other...! ;)
OMG- the Spanish Inquisition- Cullen/Hale Edition was absolutely hilarious! My face actually hurts from all the grinning and laughing! The swagger/strut comment was the best! I almost peed my pants at that part! ;D And O loved how Bella handled them! ;D
And don't even get me started on the whole laundry part! Loved that too! Oh, and don't forget about their silly bantering!^^ ;)
Like always, effing awesome chapter! You rock,bb!! ;)
Auf zum nächsten Kapitel! ^^

Author's Response:
Hallo BB~!
You know, if you must do laundry, doing laundry with Edward would be the way to go. I would enjoy it then. I bet vaccuuming and cleaning toilets with Edward would be fun and sexy too.
Glad you liked the way Bella came to E's rescue in front of the Spanish Inquisition. ;) Emmett---er ist ja so doof! And don't you agree---Edward walked in with Bell in more of a swagger than a strut? I think Jasper was pretty dead-on with his observation. It makes me think of the parking lot scene in Twilight (the film) when Angela has spotted them and they get out of the Volvo on display for the first time. ;D ;D ;D ;D
thanks for the love you give so freely und freilich.

BB!!!
OMG- I can't believe I'm four chapters behind (well, one is down- three mor to go now! ^^ Whoooop! ) The last few days were kinda crazy and pretty busy! Some stuff happened in rl, i started posting the first chapters of RITD over on ff.net and I tried to finish/ write/ edit my next chapter for said story since I'm pretty late with my update, but it just doesn't work out...so yeah, sorry it took me so long!
I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED OUT ON THAT!!! WTH?!?!?! *kreisch* Bella attacked Edward with pepper spray!!! Poor baby!!! I mean yeah, following her as she took her run really wasn't such a good idea...even though his intentions were good....but then again, I highly doubt that he regrets his little stunt since it lead to some shower stall 101...
With that being said... OMG!!! OMFG! Eff me sideways!!! THAT WAS SOOOOOOO DAMN GOOD!!!! As soon as I got your Edward after winning the auction (don't even pretend that any other of your reader would stand a chance! I sooooo called dibs ever since he made an appearance in chapter one! He.Is.Mine!!! ), that's soooo what he and I gonna do first! ;) Mwahahaha!!! Argh! They finally did it! Yeah, well not it - aber ist doch schonmal ein guter Anfang! Und was für einer.... hmmm...barely covered Edward, soaking wet...THANKS FOR THE MENTAL IMAGE, BB!!!! SHIT.EATING.GRIN.- that's all I have to say! Ooooh, and it was just too funny how he got a boner when Bella straddled him even though his eyes were burning like a mother from the pepper spray!!! Only Edward... ;D So, I guess it's pretty safe to say that your assumption that I'd like their first kiss we more than confirmed!!! ;)
I can't believe that freaky Jazzy actually got bashful and slightly disturbed by seeing them together! ;D He is such an adorable little...freak! ;D I loved his rambling! ^^ I may gonna bid for him in that auction as well....ooooh, kinky!!! ;D LMAO
Superduperawesome chapter!!! Loved it- up to the next one now ^^ Oh, and we sooo have to start that little game of yours! ;D I may gonna cheat though... ^^

Ich bin's! (schon wieder)
You did a good job of catching up today. I know how RL can get busy and crazy! For some reason fanfiction is glitching. I've been trying to post over there and have been having problems all day today. I'm glad if you post your story there. I can read stories from fanfic on my Kindle--but for some reason I can't get the stories from TWCS to upload. I usually read from my Kindle so that is one reason why I haven't continued with your story. I don't like sitting in front of the computer screen reading...that's when I begin playing with my own stories and checking for updates and checking for reviews and replying to reviews...I'm so easily distractable!
THE PEPPER SPRAY!!! Why has no one else thought to make pepper spray an important factor in their stories? It was one of the first things I thought of when I decided to try writing a story. ;) I know, I know...I'm nuts! Totally loved "Shower Stall 101" ;)
So yes...they finally kissed. Pretty decent for a first kill. When Edward comes out of his 3-year funk he comes out BANGIN'! Poor Mike Newton...he thought E needed his help and advice. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Dipshit!
Glad to know you apparently liked Showerstallward and Wetward and Pepperspray/Bonerward. And Firstkissward. I thought that would go over well. ;)
Poor little freaky Jasper...so confused and disoriented and random. He's a cute little kinky Kiltsper!

Author's Response:

I think Bella and Jake are ment to be freinds and once they figured that out the rest of there time together was good tuff but good. I love the non date and the sweet little kiss
Author's Response:
Hi t!
Gosh! I'm so far behind. I think you are right about Bella and Jake---they are meant to be friends...great friends...and though it was tough, their time was up. I think that is how they were able to still be together that day. I'm sure Bella couldn't have turned Jake around and sent him packing in all good conscience...he needed to come down off the ledge once he knew it was over. She would never have forgiven herself if something had happened to him on that drive back.
Glad you liked the non-date---not very "non," but we'll let them call it what they want. :)
Thanks for the reviews.

Hi avid!
OMG! I am so late on replies to reviews. Wanted to tell you---you won the prize for review number 100! I'm sending Edward over later tonight to entertain you. Do with him as you wish! ;)
I love parent torture too...and I am a parent...of young-20's kids. I don't bother them much anymore---the damage is done by now. :)
And...you will get to see Carlisle and Esme in a future chapter. Just so you know.

This chapter was so full of goodies. I like the study session in the swanky fort and how the went over how the met again.
Edward's talk with his parents was hilarious. I could just picture him banging his head against something solid, such as a wall or desk.
I do like how you ended it though. With Jasper acting as the decoy to save Bella from Edward's evil twin. Any chance we get the Bella POV on that to see Alice's reaction?
Good chapter. Love this story...obviously I can't wait for more.
Author's Response:
Hi pixie!
I'm glad you enjoyed all the "goodies" in this last chapter. I'd give anything to hang out in the swanky fort with Edward. :) I'd even pretend to study while there, though I'd really be studying Edward.
Poor Edward having to real with the 'rents on the phone. How embarrassing...and like you said...so easy to picture him banging his head against something hard like a wall or a desk. ;) It could have been worse: he wasn't on speaker phone with Emmett nearby. That could have been the end of his world as he knew it.
Glad you liked the decoy--the Boy Wonder and his WonderKilt. And you will get a little of Alice's reaction and Jasper's reaction to Alice's reaction. :)
Thanks for the Storylove. Glad you enjoyed that chapter. More soon.

It was entertaining to see how it all pieced together and spread so fast. I think Jasper's POV was my fave tho.
Author's Response:
Hi pixie!
Chapter 25, with all the various POVs from all the characters regarding the hooking up of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen was a lot of fun to write. I felt like all those characters were in my head. I had fun trying to decide who would pass what kind of information to whom next. Jasper was pretty cute, wasn't he?
Thanks for the review.

OMG that was so funny...I just loved the way you rolled from one pov to the other....was so funny hearing each one and their shock. The funniest though was Newton's and his detective skills, what a nob! Just loved this chapter.
Author's Response:
Hi kissyredback!
Glad you liked the fast-paced hilarity of chapter 25 with everyone's POV regarding what exactly went down between Edward and Bella in that shower. ;) That was one of the fast chapters I've ever written...it kind of told itself and I felt like I could just hear each of those different characters in my head and knew just what they would say about such a turn of events. :) Newton is the ultimate nob, isn't he? Glad you loved the chapter. It's one of my favorites.
I've posted chapter 26 and will post 27 very soon. Hope you are enjoying the read. Thanks for the review.

I love how Bella handled Emmett and the entire situation. I almost wish Edward had convinced her to go out just to see what they would have done to make that worse, but it was a fun chapter overall.
Love the ending btw... I'm thinking Alice and Jasper walk in to serve as their cold water, buzzer, blocker thing...just a guess.
Author's Response:
Hi piXie!
Bella sure did put Emmett in his place. She's not as proprietary as Rose, so she won't slap Emmett upside the head...but in a way she just did, by simply saying the things she said :) And Edward is no longer on his own team alone...he's got a teammate! Glad you liked the chapter and the ending...you're pretty perceptive. However...the next chapter takes a slight detour...but you should keep your thoughts in mind. :)
Thank you for the review. Hope you like the next chapter.

Just as long as Charlie doesn't find out what it lead to, he'll be ecstatic. They are finally getting closer to being a couple. So excited. Can't wait to see how they handle Jasper and Alice.
BTW, Jasper walking- just perfect. Absolutely hilarious that he was at a loss for words.

Yes...what Charlie doesn't know won't hurt him. :) And B & E are beginning to be a couple. Wait til "tomorrow," when they go public! So far they've only been spotted by Jasper, Mike, Tyler and Alice. LOL
Poor Jasper...completely at a loss upon witnessing such an unexpected sight! He might not have too many words for them...but you'll get to see all his thoughts next chapter.
