Aquila was concentrating on arranging her salad when Edward appeared beside her.

"Edible art," Edward said, startling Aquila and knocking off an apple from the bowl beside her. Edward caught the apple with his foot then bounced it back into his hand.

"Stop doing that! You startled me, Snow White." Aquila shot him a playful glare.

Emmett was trying to stop himself from laughing after hearing what Aquila called Edward. Rosalie rolled her eyes as she ate the bloodpop Jasper handed her.

"I can't help it when it comes to you. You look cute when you're startled." Edward said pinching her nose. Aquila slapped his hands away.

"Cute is a word commonly describing a puppy. A female puppy can grow and become a female dog. A female dog is called a bitch. So are you saying I'm a bitch?" Aquila asked with a confused expression on the verge of feeling insulted.

Edward's eyes widened and was about to explain himself, completely falling for Aquila's trick. But then Bella Swan inserted herself in between Edward and Aquila. Bella was facing Aquila while attempting to lean on Edward.

"Yes. He knows you're a bitch, cousin. Now get lost." Bella sneered. But her expression switched to a sweet and innocent one when she faced Edward. "Hi babe." She was about to trace her finger on his chest when he uncomfortably stepped back.

"Now this is entertaining." Rosalie smirked.

"Don't say things you'll regret. I mean we are cousins so if I'm a female dog then so are you. Unless you're not part of the family of course." Aquila shrugged.

"Are you calling me a bitch?" Bella asked exasperatedly

"Yes. And a basic bitch at that. Now fuck off." Aquila said pushing Bella out of her way and away from her salad as Edward shook his head in admiration for his best friend.

"Fawk awf." Edward said immitating Aquila's accent which earned him a hit from the shorter girl. They made their way at the Cullens table and ate while gossiping.

"I heard Mike and the others are going to La Push. Are you coming with them?" Alice asked Aquila.

"Hard pass. I'm in the phase where I hate bodies of water. Plus Edward and I are hanging out that day anyway." More like she's still traumatized about the cave and Dumbledore.

"Don't you have better things to do than spend time with my brother?" Now it was Rosalie who asked her.

"Yes. I do." Edward frowned at Aquila's answer. "I could spend time with you." Aquila flirted playfully a she sent a shocked Rosalie a wink. Damn Sirius Black's genes.

"Hey! That's my girlfriend!" Emmett protested.

"I could be a better boyfriend than him." Aquila whispered at Rosalie which Emmett heard. But it was her intention to do so anyway. Rosalie's lip twitched upward.

"Edward! Get your girl away from my girl!" Emmett shouted which earned them a lot of gasps all around the cafeteria.

Edward and Aquila looked at each other as they shouted together, "We're just friends!" But then the statement sounded a little too defensive for their liking.

Bella headed out to come with Jessica, Mike and the others to La Push. Aquila on the other hand was waiting for Edward in the living room with Charlie.

"Edward would be here any minute." Aquila said. Charlie raised his brow at her.

"Are you going on a date?"

"Wha- no! We're just friends. I'm not even riding with him. I'm taking the bike." Aquila said, dangling her keys in front of her uncle.

"Don't do any funny business, young lady or I'll tell the other adults. Don't want another red letter,yes?" Charlie quipped which Aquila nods at.

"Want me to make an unbreakable vow?" Aquila asked. They were interrupted by the knock on the door.

Charlie opened the door which revealed Edward Cullen. The teenager smiled at Charlie politely.

"Good morning, Chief Swan. I was hoping I could borrow Aquila for the day? We're just going to hangout. I'll take her home at five thirty."

Charlie sized him up and nodded in appreciation. "Are you sure it isn't a date?"

"Not yet sir. I'd rather ask your permission and maybe some tips first before I ask her out on our first date."

Charlie narrowed his eyes at Edward, then he relented. "Star gazing would be the best option for a perfect date. Or take her to a place with a lot of flowers." He stated before calling Aquila and telling her that Edward's here.

Edward was surprised that Charlie would say something like that like it was nothing. But little did he know, the older Swan was having a Deja Vu.

"Oh stop it, C! We're just friends!" Luna said, swatting her brother in the head.

"Don't do any funny business, young lady or I'll tell the adults." He said with both his arms crossed in front of him.

"Want me to make an unbreakable vow?"

Before Charlie could answer, there was a knock on the front door.

"Good day, mate. Is this the Swan residence? I was hoping I could borrow Luna Rosier for the day? We're just going to hangout." Sirius Black asked trying to be as polite as he can.

Charlie sized him up and nodded in appreciation. "Are you sure it isn't a date?"

"No! Of course not! I wouldn't want my moon's first date with me to be playing quidditch all day! But if I do, I'd totally ask for your assistance to make sure it's perfect." Sirius said panicking.

"What would I get in return?" Charlie asked.

"Chocolate frog?"

"Deal."

To say that Aquila was surprised was an understatement. Rosalie and Emmett joined them. Emmett was on his Jeep, Rosalie on her convertible, Edward riding in his Volvo and Aquila with her motorcycle. They told her since it wasn't a 'date' then they'd like to hang out with Aquila and Edward too. So they decided to race.

It was a tag team. Rosalie and Aquila against Emmett and Edward. If you ask the people that saw them enter a convenient store, they'd think the teens were on a double date. This made Edward smile.

He'll ask her out. Soon...very soon.

Unbeknownst to the happy teens, Isabella Swan was able to talk to Jacob Black about the treaty existing between Cold Ones and Quileut shifters as Bella tries to seduce the information out of the oblivious boy.

And it isn't the only bad thing that happened that day. Waylon Forge was attacked by three nomads.
