Swan House
Harley's Room - Morning

Harley's bright blue eyes snap open, a wide smile forming onto her face. She quickly jumps up from her light blue bed and runs out of her room - having moved to the spare room after the incident - and into Bella's, jumping onto her purple bed and squishing her. Bella snaps her eyes open at the weight on her chest and groans out in pain.

"Harley!"

She laughs and waves off her sister's glare. "Happy Birthday to us!"

Bella sighs in annoyance. A chuckle is heard at the door and both girls snap their heads towards it. Harley's smile blooming when she sees him holding two present's, one wrapped and one not.

"Happy birthday, Harley. Bells."

Harley hops off Bella's bed and wraps Charlie into a hug. "Thanks Daddy."

He chuckles, Bella rolls her eyes. "Dad, we agreed, no gifts."

He scoffs, a smirk on his face. "At least mine's not wrapped." He hands it to her. It's a digital camera. Bella's pleased, despite herself. Harley 'ohhs' at it.

"Pretty."

"Okay, this is actually kind of great. Thanks, Dad." A small genuine smile on her face.

He hands her the wrapped gift. "Goes with this one from your mum. We coordinated - well, she coordinated me." Bella opens the wrapped gift to reveal a scrapbook. "To put your pictures in, record your senior year - man, senior year. How'd you guys get so old so fast?"

Harley smirks and wiggle her fingers at him. "Magic."

Bella mumbles, eyes narrowed at her dad and Harley. "Not that old."

"I don't know. Is that a wrinkle?" Bella races to the mirror, searches her face.

Harley laughs, her arm clutching her stomach as Charlie chuckle. "I was kidding."

Harley continues to laugh, now pointing at her. "You should have seen your face!"

Bella glares at them "So not funny, Dad. Harley."

Charlie grabs Harley's shaking shoulder and drags her out of the room, Harley finally stops and looks to him with sparkling eyes. Charlie smirks and nods his head to her room. "There in your room."

She squeals and runs to her room, Charlie's laugh floating behind her.

Forks High School
Parking Lot

Bella and Harley climb out of the truck, shouldering their book bags. Bella looks around the parking lot, seeking Edward while Harley looks at the new bat she was given, thinking of ways to decorate it.

"Wherefore art thou, Harley? Bella?" Both girls turn as Mike, Eric, Angela and Jessica approach. Harley skips to Angela and gives her a hug, Angela whispering 'Happy Birthday' into her ear knowing Bella didn't want the others to know. 

"You both finish the Shakespeare assignment?" Mike asks, a smirk adorning his lips.

"He means will you finish his assignment?" Jessica corrects, an innocent expression going onto her face when he looks to her with a mock glare.

"No, I don't -- okay I do."

Harley looks over to him, as she was just showing Angela her new bat, and smiles cheerfully. "Nope." She says, popping the 'P' when she says this. He chuckles.

"I can help you with it, but first -" Bella pulls out her camera. "I need a picture. My mum's expecting a scrapbook full of memories."

Angela holds up her own camera. "I take 'em, I don't pose for 'em."

Harley pushes her to the others as she chuckles. "Now you do Muffin." The group arrange themselves.

"You'll Photoshop my nose if it looks big, right?" Jessica asks, worried.

Eric smirks. "Don't worry, I'm in the picture, no one will be looking at you guys." Jessica scoffs, Angela points her camera at Bella, Mike and Eric joust, and Harley leans on her bat with hands on hips. Bella aims at them and takes a shot, their faces fun, delightfully carefree... but when the camera lowers, their playfulness has disappeared as they see someone behind Bella. She turns to see Edward climbing out of his silver Volvo.

Harley lets out a huff, still upset with him about the whole 'falling down the staircase' thing. She had gotten Emmett to tell her about the incident when Bella or Edward didn't say anything.

"Oh good. Cullen's here." Mike says drily. Annoyed at him for coming over.

"Yay." Jessica says enthusiastically. The friends, uncomfortable, move off. Angela looks to Harley in question.

"Did you want to come Harley?"

She nods quickly and skips to her, looping arms. "Let's go Muffin."

Hallway

Harley is putting books away into her locker when something crashes into her, she looks down to see Alice hugging her tightly. "Pixie!" She hugs back.

Alice pulls back and holds out a present. "Happy Birthday!"

Harley squeals, hugs her again and takes the present. "Thank you!"

Alice smiles brightly. "I saw you open it, and you loved it. Wear it tonight for the party."

Harley nods, smile wide showing off her white teeth. "I definitely will." A chuckle pops out behind her and she quickly turns to see Jasper, she hugs him quickly then let's go. "Hiya Major!"

He tips his head at her. "Hello Ma'am." He smirks. "I was gonna make you agree to the party but it doesn't look like I need to with you." She smirks back.

"I'm not Bella, Major. I actually love to party."

Alice chuckle's and skips around her. "Well, we will leave you to get your books for class. Bye Harley." They walk away as Harley waves.

"See ya guys later!"

Cullen House
Night

Emmett kisses Harley passionately, he pulls back and sees her staring wide eyed with a daze expression. He and Rosalie chuckle at this.

"Happy Birthday, Buttercup!"

Rosalie gives her a kiss, less passionate than his, and smiles at her. "Happy Birthday."

Harley shakes out of her daze and smiles at them brightly. "Thanks Pumpkin, Puddin!"

Rosalie grabs her hand and pulls her down to the Living Room, Emmett's arm thrown over her shoulder. They look down into the room. Hundreds of pink candles and rose-filled crystal bowls can be seen. Bella and Edward already down there with Esme, Carlisle, Jasper and Alice, who held Bella's new camera. They all look up at polygamous, happy for them. Bella hides her disgust, still finding it weird and wrong. Carlisle and Esme hug Harley warmly.

Carlisle smiles at her. "Happy Birthday Harley."

Esme gives her squeeze before letting go. "Happy Birthday Hun."

'FLASH!' Harley blinks repeatedly and looks around to see Alice holding the camera up and aimed at them. "Found it in Bella's bag. Mind?" She shakes her head.

"I don't mind Pixie!"

Rosalie steps up to Bella and shoves a silver package at her. "It's a necklace. Alice picked it out." She turns to Harley with a soft look and gives her a purple package. "Here you go Hun." Harley kisses her cheek.

"Thanks Pumpkin."

Alice aims the camera at the girls. "Show me the love!" Rosalie kisses Harley's head, Harley's eyes looking up at her lovingly. 'Flash!'

"For your empty picture frame. Now open your presents!" Alice drags Bella and Harley over to a table piled with elaborately wrapped gifts, a huge cake and a tall stack of china plates.

"Alice, We're the only ones who even eats cake. That thing could feed fifty." Bella says shocked. Harley squeals.

"This cake looks amazing!"

Alice smiles at Harley happily before giving Bella a teasing look. "Hope you're hungry. Here, this one's from Emmett." The others crowd around... Jasper somewhat away. Both girls grab their presents from her and opened it together. Bella holds an empty radio box with confusion while Harley stares adoringly at the red and black mallet.

"Um... thanks?"

Emmett answers her. "Already installed it in your truck."

Edward sighs. "Finally, a decent sound system in that piece of -"

"No hating on the truck. Thank you, Emmett."

Harley gently lowers the mallet next a seat and jumps into Emmett's arms, kissing him strongly. His eyes go wide in shock but quickly snaps out of it and kisses back. She pulls away, breathing deeply. "I loved it Puddin!"

He smirks. "If that's the reaction i'm gonna get every time I give you a weapon, then sign me up." She lets out a laugh and jumps down. The others, beside Bella, laugh at the display.

"Open mine." Alice hands Bella a box. She starts to open it, but -

"Ouch - paper cut." A single drop of deep red blood appears. Bella thinks little of it, but then hears a disturbing, grisly snarl -- both girls look up just as Jasper lunges toward Bella. Emmett quickly passes Harley to Rosalie. Edward flings Bella behind his own body, causing her to crash into the table, plates shattering as Jasper slams into Edward, sounds like boulders colliding. Edward pushes him, hard and Jasper sails backward, hitting the wall. But he ricochets off it and comes back at Bella. Emmett and Carlisle tackle Jasper from the side, dragging him to the ground. Rosalie keeps Harley behind her, eyes black.  Alice helps hold him down.

"Jaz... shh -"  But she stops, her head suddenly jerking toward Bella. Then everybody's eyes snap toward Bella as they catch the overwhelming scent. Harley looks from behind Rosalie to see Bella lying amid the shards of broken china. She looks at her arm, seeing it slashed by the plate shards, bright red blood pulses out of her, pooling. Harley's eyes follow, the voices getting louder at the sight of it.

She shuts her eyes tight and leans against Rose's back, the voices coming at full force.
