A/N: Remember that this is a year after thanksgiving of their first year of college. Well almost. That means it's almost election time.

I sat in an ugly chair at a horrible dining table staring at the president that I had heard people bitch about since I was only 11. He looked at me quizzically as Edward involuntarily winced at the smell of the food then apologized and told him he was sure it was wonderful. Surely he was wondering why I wasn't repulsed by the smell of the spaghetti. I did however find it odd that the president would be serving spaghetti and meat sauce, judging by the overpowering smell of tomato sauce with a hint of browned ground beef.

"I hope you guys like spaghetti I told him to make something you'd like" he said, speaking for the first time since the introductions.

That explained the spaghetti. He thought it was kid-friendly. Obviously he didn't know that our kids would eat anything you put in front of them. They'd eat a shoe. I'm not kidding either Matt was once found eating a kid's shoe. Sure it was on a dare but it didn't seem to faze him.

"Thank you Mr. President but really we're not very picky" Maddie smiled that cute little smile of her with dimples that you could fill with a cup of water.

"You'll be eating too is that right Mrs. Cullen" he asked politely in that annoying accent of his.

"Bella, please, and yes, I will be eating" I tried not to look uncomfortable.

"Mr. President would it be rude of me to ask where the first lady is tonight?" Matt asked.

He laughed "She's in Tennessee."

"Sir I'm quite confused as to why we are here. Is there a problem?" Edward tried to word the question as best he could.

"Not at all. I'm just curious. How old did you say you were?"

"107" Edward said calmly. Maddie giggled.

"Interesting. You, Bella, how old are you?"

"20."

"Hmmm" he nods for seemingly no reason. For a minute I'm almost afraid of facing charges for statutory rape before I remember that I'm no longer a minor.

"How old does it say you are on your driver's license?"

"21." Edward remained completely calm.

"So fraud had to have played a role in your life." Now I'm afraid we've somehow committed a completely different crime.

"Yes sir but really it was not safe to …"

"Do you pay taxes?"

"Yes sir."

He nodded and Matt cracked up laughing and excused himself. I have to admit it was rather funny. Edward just admitted to committing a crime and he got away with it simply because he still pays taxes.

"How long have you been the leader" he looks at me.

"About a year." I smiled as sweetly as I possibly can.

"Before you?"

"I'm the first."

"So before you there was no form of government among your kind is that correct?"

"Yes sir."

"So they were free to do whatever they pleased."

"Sir, if you're thinking about prosecuting them, please don't. They've all undergone tests and won't revert back to their old ways I can assure you of that." Edward spoke up again.

"Of course," he nodded and then looked at Maddie.

"I understand you had a hard time a while back." He laughed as if it was funny, making me want to fling myself over the table and strangle him. I didn't simply because it will hurt the progress we've made.

"Her parents died, she thought it was her fault, and was in an almost catatonic state. What part of that is funny?" Matt defended his sister as he walked back into the room. For a minute this threw him.

"Sir" Matt adds at the last minute.

"You're right. I apologize." He looked down at the salad in front of him.

Matt blinks several times after recovering. He sipped his coke and ate a little bit of the salad. He swallowed without chewing and smiled before putting his fork down. Maddie's was gone. I'm always glad she's such a good eater when it comes to vegetables. Matt can't not do something his baby sister can. He quickly scoffed down the salad then wrinkled his nose in Maddie's direction. She gave him a look that clearly said you've just made a fool out of yourself. The president laughed. Everyone stared at him as if he just grew a second head then started laughing too. The laughing stopped when spaghetti is brought to the dining room.

"How did you first here about them?" Maddie asked.

"I saw them on the news."

"You have time to watch the news?" Maddie's eyes grew wide.

"Well um you see there are certain times when I need to… yes I have time." He struggled to find an answer. Once again Matt had to be excused for a laughing fit.

"I'm going to go see if he's ok" Maddie stood up and skipped off to follow him.

"So, Bella, how did you come across this vampire world?"

"Well a few years ago I moved to Forks, Washington…"

"Where's that?"

"It's not too far from Port Angeles."

"Where's that?"

"A couple hours away from Seattle."

"Oh right. Continue."

"When I moved there I attended Forks High where I met Edward." I smiled.

"What was it some kind of love at first sight kind of thing?"

"Oh no. Edward couldn't stand her at first and Bella thought he was cute but kind of rude." Maddie walked in followed by Matt and they both took their seats.

"Then once he realized she wasn't just like all of the other children at school he was ok with her." The look on Edward's face told me he wanted to tell the rest of the story we had but he didn't. I didn't think it would have been bad. He never did bite me but the Mr. Prez already seemed a little squirmy. I think telling him about the intensity of blood lust might just throw him out of his chair.

"Can you turn into a bat?"

"No."

"Anyone ready for desert" he clapped his hands almost like Johnny Depp did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

"Maddie can't" Matt pumped his fist in the air. Maddie gave him the look I've decided to call "the fool" look again.

"Why's that?" I asked.

"We made a bet that she can't go a week without sweets."

"What do you get if she loses?"

"50 bucks" Matt smirked proudly. Maddie slouched and pouted.

"You know it's technically illegal for minors to bet so…"

"Do you have chocolate?" She jumped up in her seat.

"Why don't you follow her," he pointed to someone I assumed to be a maid or something, "and she'll show you. Bring something for your mom too."

Matt and Maddie were out of that room at almost vampire speed. After a desert of Ben and Jerry's Dublin mudslide ice cream we left.

Soon, we were back at the hotel and Maddie was asleep with her head on Matt's stomach. The phone rang around midnight. I reached over Edward and grabbed the phone.

"Hello."

"Mrs. Cullen it's Taylor is Matt there?" she asked too politely.

"Aren't you a little old for him?"

"I believe that question could apply to you and Edward in the reverse. Besides I have Bobby. Matt is just a good friend."

Edward had been mouthing whatever she said to Matt. He started shaking his head.

"He's here but I don't think he wants to talk to you."

"He knows what I said" her voice got lower.

"Apparently you're the master of teasing" I joked.

"I didn't mean to give him the wrong idea."

"I think he really…" Matt lunged for the phone. He grabbed it then flipped off the bed and thankfully landed on the comforter.

"Hey Taylor how's it going" he asked.

"Are you ok? You seem a little out of breath."

"Yeah I just came from the gym."

"In the middle of the night?"

"What can I say? I love the night. I'm practically nocturnal."

"Right of course. Bobby and I are going night swimming. You'll come right?"

"Yeah I'll be there in five," he said after I nodded. I pointed to the now wide awake Maddie and he groaned. "Is it ok if I bring my sister?" After they were done Edward laughed at me.

"What?"

"You are the master of teasing. Isn't that a little hypocritical coming from the girl who withheld sex for the first 3 months of our marriage?"
