The TV? I didn't know Bella had been on TV. She certainly was pretty enough for it.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Bella said to her.

Tanya ignored her, however.

"Didn't your whole family die in that freak car crash?" She asked.

I saw Bella flex her fists, but there was a smile on her face.

"Nope, not me." She said.

I had the sneaking suspicion she was lying. But why would Bella need to lie about something like that? There was nothing wrong with her parent's dying in a car crash. It was sad, but wasn't anything uncommon.

"I know it's you! Isabella Spencer… no… Singer… it's an 'S' name… Swan! Isabella Swan!" Tanya exclaimed. "I remember watching the news and thinking you were so weird. And what your parent's were into-"

She didn't get a chance to finish, because all of a sudden Nessie was on my lap and Bella was wrapping her hands around Tanya's neck.

"No!" Jasper bellowed, reaching over Alice to grab Bella.

"You don't know anything you stupid skank!" Bella was yelling.

Tanya was screaming and trying to pry Bella's hands away from her neck, but she wasn't strong enough.

"Stop it, both of you! Stop! You can't fight like this on the raft!" Jasper yelled.

Poor Alice was just trying to get away from the apparent fight. As I watched Bella going at it, I reddened, realizing with much embarrassment that it was turning me on.

Hair was pulled, people were choked, and nails scratched skin until Jasper was able to pull Bella away from Tanya, securing her with his arms around her.

Jealously flared inside me. I wanted to do that. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and hold her to me, even it was because I was holding her back from Tanya.

"Calm down!" Jasper yelled at her.

"Just throw her overboard or something!" Bella yelled back.

"Oh! Throw me overboard? Who's raft was this before I let you on it?" Tanya screeched.

"I'm pretty sure it says 'Property of Eclipse Cruises' on it! Not 'Property of Fire Crotch'!" Bella snarled back.

I couldn't help but laugh, but when all four of them shot me a look, I quickly shut up.

Tanya growled and made a move for Bella, but Alice moved between the three of them.

"We all just need to take a minute and calm down!" She announced, trying to defuse the situation. "The two of you cannot fight like this on the raft. You'll tip it over, or damage it in some way that none of us can afford. This isn't like back home, okay? Out here, this is about survival. We're going to have to put away our petty thoughts, or whatever the hell this, and work together to live!"

All of us were silent after that.

Jasper released Bella and she crawled back over to her spot beside me. Tanya glared at each of us one by one, but shrunk back into her corner, arms folded across her chest.

"Alice is right." Bella admitted after a while. "But, if you mention my parents one more time, I will throw you overboard."
