Fork's high school gym graduation ceremony. The students in caps in gowns and family with teachers ready hearing a speech. Amir sitting with Charlie and Mina.
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up... Our answers were things like astronaut, president or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked again and we answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!" Jessica said proudly. Loud hoots and hollers from the audience, in which we find Bella with some Cullens. Jessica's words are sinking in.
"This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, it's the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent... So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be... we won't have to guess. We'll know"
Everyone cheers standing up. Some throwing diploma hats. The school pose graduation ceremony, Charlie, Mina, Amir Bella walks away, Bella awkwardly shouldering out of her gown and mortarboard. Ad-libbed "see you at the party's" with various students including the usual suspects if possible.
"Bella congratulations" Mina said smiling.
"Thank you, Mina. I want to say thank you for staying with Charlie. He a lot happier now" Bella said looking at her.
"Of course. I love him" Mina looks over to Charlie smiling.
Charlie wraps an arm around Bella's shoulder, emotional. "I'm so proud of you, Bells. I can't wait to see what you do next. You're my biggest accomplishment"
"Dad, that's not true" Bella said.
"Yeah, it is. And it's... well, you'll see, when you have kids" Charlie said.

At the Cullens house graduation night party. It's wall to wall with teenagers. Dancing, celebrating. Alice has transformed the place into a magical nightclub. Bella and Amir enter, immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.
She weaves her way through the throngs, searching for Edward. She finally spots him. Edward is deep in consultation with Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper. Their mood is intense. Bella and Amir heads toward them but Jessica and Angela swoop in.
"You've made it. Nice to see you again Amir" Angela said. "Nice to see you as well"
"Hey. What'd you think of my speech? Too easy-breezy, too self-helpful? You may admit it" Jessica asked wanting an honest opinion.
"No, you pretty much nailed it" Bella said. "Yeah? It's like I was born to lead, right?"
"Oh, great. I love this song, let's go" Angela said as she pulls Bella to the dance floor where Eric and Mike find them. Mike and Eric start a robot battle. They laughed. Amir walks over to Jasper who is dressed great not being able to find Jane and Alec.
"Hi Jasper" Amir said. Jasper looks to him and gives a small smile.
"Hi Amir. You like the party so far?"
"Yea, Alice did a great Job" Amir said. "She always does"
"Where is she right now?" Amir asked.
"Not exactly sure, but I'm sure we will see her soon" Jasper said with his southern accent.
There celebratory mood is in striking contrast to the atmosphere in the kitchen. Jacob enters, calm, confident. Quil and Embry flank him. Leah is right behind them with Seth. Leah looks for Amir first and walks to him with Seth.
Jacob looking tense, eyes darting around the room.
