Erin's POV

Things were going crazy at my house. For one we were about to move, once again. Two; things were becoming so tense that Emmett, Jasper, Andie and I had been playing probably more pranks than necessary.

I slid down the banister and landed in front of Esme and started begging with my hands clasped, "Please Esme!"

She shook her head. Alice and I have been having strange visions about East Lansing Michigan for no reason, and it was also close to the time when we were moving, that's why we decided that we should go there this time, but Esme always had to hear both sides of the argument first.

"Erin you know it's not my decision… well not completely," she sighed and continued to arrange the flowers in the crystal pots.

"Come on, Mom!" I continued, using the key word "Mom" to fight for my cause, I never called her mom, it just never felt right. "Moving to Michigan would be good for us! Instead of moving to England." Stupid Edward was arguing against me by trying to get Carlisle to let us move to England because we haven't lived there in decades.

"Sweetie," she said a little more convinced, "I want to go to England as much as you do. If you can convince the majority of the family to go to Michigan, then we can go."

I pouted, thinking about how long it would take for them to get home. I checked the clock… three hours. Oh boy, I'm going to die! Alice, Jasper, Edward, Bella, Emmett, Rosalie and Andie were still at school.

I unceremoniously sat myself down on the leather couch in the living room, with my arms crossed. Then my adorable niece came running up from the basement we turned into a game room a few years ago.

She sat in my lap and asked me in her high voice, "Auntie Erin! Can you French Braid my hair?" Her brown eyes were wide and her bronze curls were all over the place; one hell of a bad hair day, that was the only bad part of being a sleeping, half vampire.

"Do you have two hair ties?" I asked, she looked into her hands, she shook her head and soared up the stairs as fast as her little legs could carry her. Smiling I became happy that there was some form of a time waster for me. I chuckled as she was back with two blue hair ties to match her cute shirt.

"Ok," I said crossing my legs so she could sit more comfortably. I took my time combing my fingers through her hair, and then starting the braid on one side of her head. Taking my time was a necessity because the last time she asked me to help her, I was in a rush, so I tried to braid her hair with all the speed I possessed. I ended up getting my hands caught in her hair, we couldn't get undone till Alice and Rosalie got home to help undo the knots that secured my hands in her hair… Edward almost killed me!

When I was finished she had two long braids going to the center of her back, she smiled and kissed me on the cheek and ran back downstairs. To play the Wii most likely in the game room.

I looked at the clock and I had about another hour. I groaned. But then my eyes went out of focus and I had a brilliant vision, Edward was going to open the door when they got home from school today!

I got up seizing the chance while it was still there and shielded my mind as I set up my prank I had been waiting patently to put into action.

It took about thirty minutes to put together and about five to get Esme away from the scene. I smiled as I looked at my handy work. I had a big - and when I say big I mean huge! – bucket hanging over the door, I had a rope on its handle that attached to a hook on the ceiling which that held the bucket up, then the rope attached to the door knob. And in the bucket was… well there was green slime – green slime from my private prank stash, and by slime I mean rotten egg smelling slime that took weeks to get the smell off of you!

I was barely able to keep my laughter from bursting out in surprise, because they were on their way to the door. Edward was still in front acting as the ring leader when he so obviously wasn't. I sighed and waited in anticipation, the door knob twisted and the door opened. I broke into a huge grin when I watched Edward get doused in bright green slime!

We all paused, the sight in front of us still processing in our minds, but that quick second was over and we were all on the ground laughing! Emmett was clutching his stomach in pain, while Andie's eyes seemed to be bulging out of her head!

Then Nessie made it worse by gracefully skipping up the stairs and pausing staring at her Dad who was fuming in the door way and she said, "Daddy…? Why… are you covered in… green slime…?" she had the cutest confused look on her face.

Edward pointed one slime covered finger at me and growled, spitting the gunk out of his mouth as he said, "Ask. Aunt. Erin."

That was when the laughing ended. I froze then jumped to my feet and started to sprint out of the house while he chased me. I didn't know what I was doing till I figured out I was headed towards the boundary line. Hey Seth! I called into my imprints mind using my power of telepathy, Meet me at the boundary line… Eddie's mad at me again! I heard a quick reply and I suddenly saw him in his sandy brown wolf form right across the line.

I looked behind me and saw Edward about ten feet away from me! I could've screamed -even though he wouldn't hurt me, he would come pretty close –but I dug my feet into the earth and pounced over the invisible line.

"Hey, Sethy!" I called happily using some kind of pet name, as Edward stopped dead in his tracks right before he crossed the line. Seth seemed to try to smile at me before he ran off into the woods to phase back into a human. Thank god Edward still can't cross the boundary line… If someone gives him permission I am so dead. I thought.

The rest of the family gathered around the line, Andie tried to calm Edward down when Jasper's attempts seemed useless. Emmett was still slightly chuckling, while Rosalie looked as bored as ever.

I smiled and gave Seth a hug as he came back from behind the bushes in human form, wearing only basketball shorts. I heard my brothers gag.

"Whatever!" I called.

"Erin! You know we're making the final decision today!" Alice called trying to get me back, "We can't fight for our area with our other leader going all goo-goo eyed with Seth."

I sighed and gave Seth a good bye kiss and he reluctantly let me go back to my family. I wisely avoided Edward, putting everyone else in between me and him. Depressingly I knew that he wouldn't want to leave La Push, so I didn't make him. We both would see each other soon, no matter what happens.

Andie's POV

I sighed as we ran back to the house, Erin keeping her distance from Edward. A very good choice on her behalf. I tried to send some peaceful images to Edward, trying to get him to calm down. It sort of worked… his fists unclenched. But that was about it.

We all filed into the dining room and settled around the table, Erin, Alice, Jasper and I wanted to move to Michigan, so we sat on the right side of the antique table, while Edward, Bella, and Rosalie were sitting on the left; they wanted to move to London… but strangely enough, Emmett sat on the far end of the table; he fought for Fiji. Esme and Carlisle were sitting on the other end of the table, waiting patently for the scream fest to begin, getting ready to let us solve our issues on our own, they liked us to resolve our own issues… no matter how long it would take. I sat back in my chair, not really caring for the 'political' fight.

It started off when Alice just said out of the blue, "Michigan," but that was it, she had a determined look on her face. She glared at Edward across the table, just daring him to speak up.

"NO!" whined Emmett loudly, apparently Jasper hadn't seen this coming, because instead of the usual calm emotions he tried to project, hescared everyone with the sudden change of emotion, because we all jumped from Jaspers new and sudden emotion. "Fiji," he said simply shrugging his shoulders. I just had to stare at him. This was probably one of the most random out bursts he's had in about a year. Then the fighting really broke out. Everyone was shouting at the same time, I would only intervene when I had to, or there was a open spot for me to talk. But I wasn't much of a fighter.

"Calm down! Jasper, can you - " Carlisle was shouting, trying to get us to sit down and have order. The sense of calmness emanating from Jasper washed over me, even though I was already calm. I watched as my siblings faces relaxed. Sighing I waited for Carlisle to let us talk.

"Can you all just calm down?" Carlisle asked. Erin mumbled something I couldn't quite catch next to me. Edward then turned to glare at her, "Now, if you can just be calm. We'll go in order, Erin why don't you start us off." He looked at her and plopped back down in his chair.

"We should go to Michigan," Erin began. "Don't you think it's strange that Alice and I are having so many random visions about that place? And Michigan's weather is almost completely cloudy… and the schools start so early we can dodge the sun. The high school will also allow us to avoid sunlight, because there are so many different ways to get around, and if we have to we can skip a few classes if we have to. I'll also be able to go to school there." She paused. "And me and Alice have found the most perfect house for us online! It's secluded and big, enough rooms for all of us! Oh and for Nessie, they have a few elementary schools, one is actually really close to the high school."

She sat down and Alice high fived her but Edward got up and we all slumped in our chairs, not eager to hear Edward ramble on about the joys of England, none of us really wanted to listen, knowing that he would just bore us to death. Even Rosalie and Bella slumped down, having heard his speech plenty of times before.

"We should go to London, because we haven't been there in decades, no one would know us, and there is plenty of open space for us to hunt. The days are very cloudy, and there is an excellent school system. And it would be great for us to go back." He sat down.

"Hey, did you know that deer are over populated in Michigan? And that we've never been to Michigan?" Alice spoke the way someone would if talking to a two year old, "So that means we can hunt all we want and we won't be recognized."

Now almost everyone was just silent, Emmett was just sitting in his chair humming and ignoring everything that had been going on for the past hour. I pulled a section of my strawberry blonde hair and started to braid it. The silence drove on, no one knew what else to say, even though almost everyone hungered for an argument.

"Ok… I think we might want to go with Michigan… there are more reasons for us to be there, and it would be a stable place to live… how about if we don't like it there after a month we can move to London?" Carlisle spoke up, breaking the uncomfortable silence. No one spoke up, but our side was smiling. Or was it more like smirking? Apparently Carlisle took our reactions for a yes, but Edward, Rosalie, and Bella's for a 'fine whatever'. Emmett apparently wasn't being counted for his lack of seriousness.

We started cheering when he basically said we were moving to Michigan! Happy and content except for Edward, Bella, Rosalie, and Emmett. We all moved out to go pack most of us joyfully.

"What about Fiji?" Emmett would mumble every few steps. I sighed and patted him on the back.

"Next time Emmett," I comforted him. He smiled and walked normally back to his room. When I got to mine, I frowned as I saw all of the boxes already labeled. Most were 'clothes' and only a select few were 'books' or, 'CD's' I found it strange. I started to quickly fold my flow and flowery out fits and stack them in the boxes, when I heard a shrill scream next door.

"What!" I exclaimed dashing in the room. Erin was throwing a tantrum while Emmett seemed shocked, "What did you do!" I walked over to Erin, her room was fully packed and she was still steaming with anger.

"I just told her that her walls won't look the same when we move!" Emmett squealed.

"They will! I promise you that!" Erin screamed, I looked at her multiple colored walls, one was green, another blue, orange, and purple. Each wall had different specks of the opposite wall color covering them, a colorful and crazy design Erin loved and she would never want that design to change.

"Erin… you won't have it exactly the same…" I started slowly, "At least one speck of color will be off on your new walls… and you might have a bigger room." I was trying to ease her into a calm state, and it wasn't too easy without Jasper in the room.

She seemed like she was considering it, "Okay," she said and she jumped out the window. I shook my head and went back to my packing.

Erin's POV

The glorious day! We were moving. But the strangest thing that had happened yet was the fact that Emmett and Jasper just happened to get their hands on two moving trucks. And by moving trucks, I mean huge moving trucks. Rosalie was also able to fix up the motors so they went about as fast as a European sports cars. I wasn't sure that it was safe, but it sure seemed fun!

We'd piled up the boxes in each truck, plus a few cars, Jasper's motorcycle, my baby blue porch, and Emmett's jeep. Emmett and Rosalie were in Rose's red convertible, Carlisle and Esme were in Carlisle's Mercedes, Bella, Edward and Nessie were driving the Volvo while Jasper and Alice were in Alice's yellow porch.

Me and Andie got the awesome task of driving each of the trucks! I was in the back of our little, car line up. I honked the horn impatiently, and was blown away from the sound of it, my sensitive ears ringing. We started to head out, leaving the old white house… we might be able to come back in a few decades… but not till then.

I turned up the volume to full blast on my IPod and started singing along with the lyrics of, 'Mean'.

A few- as in, ten to twelve- boring, unentertaining hours later, we were about an hour from our house, in Detroit, and I was getting antsy. My ADHD acting up, I sighed and started drumming my fingers on the wheel. I decided to mess with Edward. I focused on the shiny Volvo in front of me, and I sent a mental image of Emmett in boxer-briefs and only that. The car stopped so suddenly I almost crashed into it! I started laughing, I could see Bella and Nessie looking at Edward strangely. Next to me Andie was laughing her head off, sending me a thumbs up signal, I looked in front of her and figured out that she'd sent a real picture of the same thing I did to Edward but of him to Emmett. I loved Andie for this... special reason, she can project images to other people with out any contact.

When we got to the house, my first thought was DAMN! I was in awe. I smiled as I took it all in, then I jumped out of the truck, and screamed before anyone else could, "I GET FIRST PICK OF ROOM!" They all swore under their breath, Bella covering Nessie's ears, trying to at least muffle the sound of all the swears our siblings muttered.

I sprinted towards the house, laughing and my wish to explore the new house became obliged.
