I am going away, so I decided to post before I leave. That means this isn't edited by anyone other then me. So if anything is totally bogus, feel free to point it out to me. And after reading the reviews (and responding to half before getting distracted) I decided to write a prologue. And no, I will not be doing a sequel. Not now, or ever. Celebrity Crushes (which I have to change the name of) is completely done. So last note: leave any suggestions for better names, and then answer the poll I will have for best name for this story.
Disclaimer: Don't own characters, setting, or the Oscars. Basically, don't own anything.

I stared at my sweating hands, clasped in my lap. Without warning, a long and pale had reached over to grab one of mine. I looked up at Edward with a small smile. He was beaming back at me, looking positively handsome in his black suit. His messy bronze hair had been somewhat tamed, but still looked perfect. And he was mine.
"Don't worry," he whispered in his velvet voice, "It is all going to be great. And you look amazing, you'll outshine everyone at the event."
Edward glanced down at my outfit, a gorgeous silver Oscar de la Renta masterpeice that Alice and Rosalie had forced me to buy. Speaking of the devils, they sat across from me in the luxurious limo, sitting with their respective partners. Rosalie was stunning in green antique gown by Dior. Her usual beauty was nothing compared to how she looked in the dress. And Alice was utterly adorable in her red floor length Barneys dress. All three of the girls looked up at the same time, met each other's eyes, and grinned.
Rosalie smiled so widely that her shocklingly white teeth gleamed, "Ladies, its nothing to worry about. Its just a silly little event; the after parties are the real excitment."
Alice's eyes went wide, "Just a silly little event? Um, Rosalie, its the Oscars! With all those famous celebrities, and singers, and actresses, and beautiful gowns that cost more then the average family makes per year."
This was such a surprise coming from Alice, who normally never got worked up about meeting famous people or expensive clothes, that everyone chuckled. Alice pouted at us all, until she broke out in laughter too. By the time the limo stopped, all six of us were shaking with laughter. Then the driver opened the door, and it seemed like a million flashes of light were in my eyes. This way it.
Edward grasped my hand, and then slipped an arm around my waist when I climbed out. We walked past his screaming fans, past the paparazzi, and down the red carpet. Our friends followed us in a similar pattern, smiling to everyone and trying to make sure the cameras got the best angle of them. I was just trying not to trip in my silver pumps so that I wouldn't embarrase myself in front of all the people. To my amazement, I made it past nearly all of the people before there was a slight snag in the carpet and my feet slipped back. However, I never met the floor because Edward caught me around the waist while everyone applauded him. We then hurried through to the main building, where even more people spilled about. I spotted several people I had only seen on television, and almost everyone came over to Edward and I. They were all really nice; shaking hands with Edward and congradulating him on his nomination while introducing themselves to me. But as great as it all was, I felt better when we met back up with all our friends and Alice started her rambling about all the outfits she had seen. Emmett complained that all the waiters serving alcohol had asked to see his i.d, while stopping all the people with carrying trays around to eat their hors d'oeuvres. Jasper and Rosalie looked thoroughly entertained to see their dates so excited. They had been to enough events like this to be used to it. Then we were all called to our seats in that huge room you see on television that hosts the Oscars. Rosalie and Jasper introduced us to their mother, who had taken a break from touring to see her children. Edward introduced us all to his mother but he told us his father was too busy managing the company to come. I could see the toll his parent's lack of relationship took on Edward, but he never complained.
And then, it started. Actually, it was incredibly boring. There were countless nominations I had never even heard of and certainly didn't care about. There was entertainment that I could have done without. There was a long wait in an uncomfortable chair. But mostly, I wasn't paying much attention to it all because I was too occupied playing footsies with Edward. He was nervous, I could tell, because on a normal day he would never play footsies. But he was an actor, so the only one who saw his nerves was me.
Finally, we got to the interesting stuff. The nomination for best supporting actor was called, and Jasper was one of the nominies. Alice hugged him tightly as they waited for the name to be called. The announcer guy, some comedian I had never heard of, opened the envelope.
"And the winner is..." we all held our breath, "James!"
Our entire room cursed silently and watched as the other guy got up to accept his award. However, Jasper didn't seem too fazed on account of the fact that Alice was squeazing him and kissed him as a distraction. Ah, my sweet little pixie friend.
The next time my attention was captured was when the best actress was called. Of course Rosalie was a nominee and she looked amazing in the clip they showed. It was of her screaming and fake crying while she supposed 'taken back in time'. We all gave her encouraging smiles but Rose only winked at us all. No matter what happened, her self-confidence wouldn't take a hit.
The announcer giggled as she read the name, "No surprise here. Rosalie Hale is the best actress, her second Oscar award in three years!" we all screamed out for her and Rose sauntered forward to accept her award.
She gave the usual thank you speech, and then added, "Oh, and I don't know if this is the best time to tell you all, but no matter what happened tonight, I would still be the happiest woman alive. Because just last night, I got engaged to the love of my life, Emmett!" Rose flashed a dazzling diamond ring.
Alice and I squealed for our friend, and the boys patted Emmett on the back while the camera zommed up on him. He let loose a boisterous laugh and blew a kiss to the stage. Rosalie accepted the kiss, and hopped off, holding her award in her hand.
And finally, Edward's category was announced. He was in a clip that of course showed off his famous looks and radiated his personality. And yet, I preferred him without all the makeup and changes in the movie, because the Edward sitting next to me was already perfect.
"And the award for best Actor goes to Edward Masen." the announcer, who unfortunately had to be Tanya, said.
Edward ignored her as he took the stage and leaned into the microphone, "I know that right now I should be thanking everyone. Well, I do have alot of people to thank, but there is one person who means the world to me and I can only think of one way to thank her. Isabella Swan, I love you and I never want to move away from you, so I have decided to quit acting. That is all I have to say. Thank you." the crowd went wild with his statement but mind mind wasn't functioning.
Edward was quitting acting? For me? The angel himself made his way back and kissed me more passionately then ever before.
"Don't quit." I murmured, "I'm not worth it. Think of all the oscars you could win if you stayed in acting"
He shook his head, "Thats where you are wrong. I would take you over acting any day You are my award." and with that, he kissed me once more.

I was kissing Jasper while feeling sad that he didn't win, and joyed that he didn't care, when I suddenly got a strange feeling. I knew it was a vision, even if I hadn't had one in a long time. I saw myself standing at the edge of the forest near my home in Forks, hand in hand with Jasper. Behind us stood Emmett and Rosalie, and Edward and Bella. The differences were that we all looked several years older, and every single one of us girls was wearing a ring on our left hand.
