1. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

Bella seemed a little shy, but not really nervous as in afraid of him. And Edward was definitaly more open, but I still could tell he was...omitting things.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?

I'm not sure...that's why we need Midnight Sun (Hint, Hint, Stephenie)
I think he got upset about how little Bella said to Jessica, and that she thought she cared for for him.

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?

I found the Lexicon and Stephenie Meyers website long after I read the book, so I really didn't know much about vampire venom and all that. Thinking of it now, it seems Edward was too distracted by Bella's conversation with Jessica to really pay attention to what she ate.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

That was one of my favorite parts in the book. Arguing over who cares more. I think that they care for each other equally, though Edward is a little more up front about it. (odd for a guy)

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

Rabbit. No, I'm just kidding. Do you mean out of bears or mountain lions, or out of every animal?
Actually, either way, I have no idea. I guess I'll have to wait till Bella gets changed to find out. Now which book will that be in...?

1. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

I think Edward does seem more open. Now that she knows his secret...there's not that much he can hide from her. He realizes he has to let her know the truth now. She's allready too far in. I didn't think Bella was any more nervous than she usually is when she is around him.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?

Pleased...and frustrated. Pleased because she likes him...alot! That's good news for the guy who likes her back. Frustrated because she shouldn't like him...and she likes him a whole lot.

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?

He probably didn't really think about it. They always get caught up in their own little world...and he was in deep thought about what she had said in her earlier convorsation with Jessica.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

I think its hard to say who "cares more" about the other. I think they both care about eachother equally...just in different ways.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

Hm...I don't really know! Something that is similar to her style of hunting...but it's hard to think of her hunting right now...guess I'll just have to wait til the book comes out!

1. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

It seemed like Bella was trying so hard to be normal that she just made her awkwardness more pronounced, pretty much the way any girl would be with a guy that she really likes but isn't sure whether they're past the "more than friends, less than lovers" stage.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?

Meh...Pretty much exactly the way he said he felt. I didn't really read too much into it.

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?

Well at this point, he wants her to know as little about the transformation from human to vampire. If he all of the sudden started freaking out because she took a bite of pizza, she would ask questions and come to her own conclusions, which is definitely not what Edward would want.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

Equality is key in a relationship.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

Squirrels, lol. Actually, I don't know. I'd think something elegant, and if Edward's preference hadn't been the lion, I would have said that, but I really don't know.

1. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?
Of Course Bella was too nervous! What do you expect! Edward... in some ways he was more open, in others as annoying as ever!

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?
He cared more about what Bella had to say as he let on, and was probably releved to know how she felt. Or more upset because she was not supposed to like him! But still...

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?
Yes! I would have thought that he would absoluty refuse to let her eat it like that. I've always seen him as kind of paranoid when it comes to Bella.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?
I think they are pretty even on that standard, but Bella is a bit more open about it.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?For some reason, Bella relates to a deer to me, so that might be what she would prefer.

1. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?
Bella was confused, and quite honestly she had a right to be. We all know how Edward can have those mood swings of his, and I think Bella was afraid that if she brought something up from the night before it might make him angry. Edward seemed very open about things. More open than I expected.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?
I honestly don't know how to answer this question. Edward is so unpredictable that I can't imagine what was going through his mind as he listened to their conversation.

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?
The first few times I read the book it hadn't even crossed my mind that she'd swallowed venom. But after I realized that she did, I was surprised that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite. He seems very overprotective to me, so I would have expected him to stop her, even though it didn't harm her to swallow it.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?
I think that they care for eachother equally. It's hard to determine who cares more, because they have very different ways of showing it.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?
To this question, all I have to say is, I hope we find out in a book later in the series!!

. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

I don't think either was too..anything I just think Bella seemed a little shy.. I guess.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?

I think Edward was pleased to know Bella really cared for him but mad that she didn't realize how much he cared for her.

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?

I think that he knew the venom wouldn't get in her bloodstream and that he didn't want to freak her out over something that probably wouldn't harm her.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

I think Edward cares more, because he has to resist her blood, and he could have ANY girl he wanted, he's gotta love her.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

I think Bella will prefer Deer. haha she reminds me of one.

1. How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

Bella seemed a tiny bit more nervous, but Edward had a strangely guarded air about him for a while. They both opened up in the end.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?

Sad that she really doensn't have a clue when it comes to his feelings.

3. Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?

No. He didn't want her finding out about the venom, which might intrigue her more and/or scare her.

4. They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

For once, I think they care for each other equally, but in very different ways.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

Something really wild, like wolves. Or maybe she'll just do whatever Edward does and swing towards mountain lions.

1. How do you think Edward and Bella did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

I was really surprised that Edward told Bella a lot about him being a vampire. I thought that he would want to hide it or pretend to be normal. I was also amazed that Bella was so comfortable with him being a vampire and lusting for her blood, so they seemed really open to me.

2. How do you think Edward really felt about Bella conversation with Jessica?

I think he was still frustrated in the fact that he couldnt hear her thoughts. I also think that he was a little disappointed that she thinks that she cares for him more than he cares for her.

3. Della took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didnt stop her from taking a bite or that he didnt react to it in any way?

Looking back now and seeing how protective he was of her, then yes, it is a bit strange that he didnt tell her about the venom. Maybe he didnt think that it would leave a residue. I personally think that she was "dazzling" him too much for him to think about it. But maybe a part of him wants her to be a vampire like him. Who knows? (Stephenie Meyer and company)

4.They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

They equally care for eachother at this point. Edwards was a more love thing that was more pure at the begining I think. Bellas started out as a crush but then it became or evolved into a more pure love and concern for him.

5. Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Were Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

Okay, this is going to sound really really weird but I think she would prefer a swan. Swan are white just like her skin and beautiful like her. The only thing that doesnt fit is that Bella isnt graceful at all. haha

How do you think Edward and Bella both did in trying to behave naturally around each other on the "morning after?" Was Bella too nervous or shy? Did Edward seem more open?

Bella was definitely not nervous. Edward did seem more open... now that the big secret was brought to the surface.

How do you think Edward really felt about Bella's conversation with Jessica?

I think he was amused mostly, but also concerned about what kind of position they were getting into by liking each other so much. I think he was also surprised about what Bella said about liking him more than she thought he liked her.

Bella took a bite of pizza after Edward. Stephenie has told us that in that moment, Bella consumed a very small amount of venom. Does it surprise you that Edward didn't stop her from taking a bite or that he didn't react to it in any way?

No. Wasn't there something said about the venom being unable to affect a person when it was injested? I think there was. But when I first read it, I didn't think anything of it.

They argue about who cares for whom more all throughout lunch. In your opinion, which one really does care for the other more?

I think it's equal. Though, Edward has waited considerably longer for someone like Bella to come around. But Bella has gone through most of her life just as isolated as Edward. But like I said before, and despite the amount of years under their belts, I think that the intensity is the same.

Emmett prefers bears, Edward prefers mountain lions. Where Bella ever to become a vampire, what animal do you think she would prefer?

Ha, I pick a pine marten. I dunno... it's just the first thing that ran through my mind. Weird, right?
