This chapter contained a lot of precious moments. The joke on Emmett in the garage and the swimming excursion exposing her tattoo to the guys were funny Cullen family moments. It also showed sweet sentimental moments that I loved like the death of the truck and purchase of the new car. This is a chapter that should go into the Best of the List. Great story development and characterization.

I love this story so much.  This chapter proves that while Edward and Bella learned how to care for each other physically, they also learned how to care for each other emotionally as well.  It's nice to see Edward seek Bella's opinion and to give her the opportunity to express her feelings openly with fear of him being upset.  They've grown so much while they've completed the items on the list.  Great job!

Loved it

I totally agree with you on the car thing -- it never ceases to annoy me the emphasis on Bella's clumsiness and how everybody seems to jump up and down on that.  That is as bad as Frodo falling down every 15 minutes which positively got on my last nerve. 

Well done on the chappie -- your characters are honest, in the moment, and interact with one another amazingly.  That in and of itself requires quite a feat of imagination on your part as the writer and it is much admired.  I also like the way you've taken this story and really just run with it, not going completely so far out there that it would be ridiculous. 

Looking forward to the next installment -- do you think Edward could Bella a pet dog and name it Jake?  (Just kiddin!  I swear.). 

I love this story sooooooooooo much. Such good writting.

Everyone chuckled.  "For a solid week, every time Rose was, um, interested, I made him start crying," Jasper said with a smile. I laughed out loud! I can see him crying - lol!

Three cheers for road head!  Now THAT was definitely a sentence I never thought I'd type, haha!

How freaking sexy would it be for Edward to dress in some Gothic-looking get-up and stalk after me?

Oh, hells yes!  That would be so hot.  And I'm glad you put the Edward sundae on there too. 

I'm sad Bella's truck died...there's a lot you can do in a truck bed (or so I've been told)!   And I completely agree with you about the Guardian and the Ferrari.  It's like you're in my head!  Which would explain the voices I hear...

Your review made me laugh!  There might be a send-off for the poor old truck in the next chapter!

Another amazing update.My favorite parts:

The revenge scene w/ Emmett:

Of course the scene in the Volvo!:

The Edward ice cream sundae-mmmmm

I like your version of the whole car thing MUCH more than the original-I thought it was way too over the top and obnoxious.

Oh, and I like that yoiur chapters are nice and long.Please update soon!

All the updates I've been reading lately have had really short chapters, so thank you thank you for a lengthy one.

I liked the idea of Bella getting a new car. I think it's time, and that you did it really well.

Totally loved the end of the weekend. Hot stuff!

Can't wait for the Emmett payback!  And it's going to be hilarious reading about the two upcoming weeks.
