Like I promised, here's another chapter. This could possibly be the end, I don't know. I don't really plan the story out. I have a vague idea what I want to happen and when, and the other stuff just falls into place, with a little tweaking. I have a lot of time today, because at school we had a half day. And now, on to the story!

I heard the screams, and I ran to them, frightened. As I entered the clearing, Rosalie's sour voice reached me. "Don't worry, Edward. Your girlfriend's not hurt." She and Jasper stood next to Emmett, who was spitting and rubbing his tongue in the dirt.

I glanced quizzically at them, and Rosalie hissed," She made him eat a pickle." I remembered hearing Bella scream something or other about pickles.

"Alice?" I asked. As if in answer to my question, Alice staggered through the brush. Her clothes were torn and dirty, and her face was murderous. I saw what had occurred in her mind and winced.

We sat in the clearing, feeling dejected. Bella had severely trounced us, and the shame of having our butts kicked by a human was overwhelming. Right now, we didn't have the heart to go after Bella.

"We better get back to the house now," Emmett managed at last. We all agreed, and sped back to the house. Exhausted, we tramped through the kitchen. A small creak made us turn. Bella stood in framed in the doorway. Her face was pale, and her pajamas had dried and were dirt streaked.

"Edward," she murmured. The others jumped behind my back, peeking at her warily. I watched her fearfully. She stumbled towards me, and the others leapt back. She stumbled? She yawned.

"Edward," she whispered in a hoarse voice. "What happened? I'm exhausted." I remembered what her father had told us. This must be the crashing part. I lunged forward and hugged her.

"Ed, what are you doing? She could be faking!" I heard the urgent voices of my family, but I could tell that she wasn't. My beautiful angel was back. I looked outside, where dawn was creeping over the world, warming everything with its warm glow.

Slowly, my siblings realized that the storm was over. "Thank God," Alice whispered fervently, before plopping into an armchair. Emmett sagged with relief.

"Oh, Bella, I'm so glad you're back!" Rosalie cried. She ran forward to hug Bella, then stopped, a muscle twitching in her neck.

I saw her thoughts, and flung myself in front of Bella as Rosalie lunged for her. "You little brat! You wrecked my convertible!" Rosalie screamed, thrashing as Emmett grabbed her waist. I swept Bella into my arms, and carried her away from Rosalie's shrieks. She looked at me, bewildered.

"What did I do?" She whispered from the cradle of my arms.

I kissed her forehead as I laid her on the bed upstairs. "Nothing, love. It wasn't your fault. Sleep." She nodded, and relaxed.

As her eyes drifted closed, she whispered sincerely, "I love you, Edward." Then she slept.

I was astonished when I woke up, and the others told me what I did. Ashamed, too. How could I have done those awful things? But they forgave me, even Rosalie. The rest of the weekend passed without any special events, and the house was back to normal by the time Carlisle and Esme retuned on Sunday evening.

"You poor baby," Esme cried when she saw me."Emmett, shame on you!" The others had called their parents while I was asleep.

I smiled. "That's alright, Esme. I'm so sorry about the house."

Esme and Carlisle assured me it wasn't my fault, while looking pointedly at their children. I had to bite my lip to stop from laughing, they were so much like ordinary parents scolding a misbehaved child. We talked for a little more, before the treacherous clock hands told us that it was time for me to go home.

I reached for the doorknob as Edward and Alice screamed "No!" The lights switched off, and purple paint sprayed over me, as a glow-in-the-dark clown head swung down, nearly scaring my pants off. Emmett's laughter faded from my ears as a red haze washed over my eyes…..

So it did turn out to be the end after all. Thank you so much for reading! My next story will be a more serious one, with possibly two sequels. I'm pretty much satisfied with this story, and I hope you like it!
