It was supposed to be nothing but a fun weekend, but it turned out to be so much more! When Edward Cullen awakes with a mind-numbing headache he knows that he must have had a wild night. Once his vision starts to normalize and he sits in the bathroom, waiting for the vomiting to begin, a few memories come back to him. He remembers, for example, that his cousin Emmett came up with the idea to spend an impromptu-weekend in Las Vegas - only four weeks before Edward would graduate from college. So while that actually might not have been the best idea, Edward nonetheless agrees to join the trip when he hears that Emmett's friend and Edward's long-time crush, Bella Swan, will be there as well.

Imagine his surprise when he finds said Bella Swan lying in his bed! And if that wouldn't be confusing enough, Edward also notices a white wedding band on his ring finger. Panicking he grabs some clothes, leaves the room, and runs straight over to the suite of Emmett and Rosalie. And they confirm his worst nightmare: Edward had married Bella yesterday evening. Apparently, both had been absolutely wasted and no matter how often their friends had tried to prevent the worst from happening, the two insisted on a chapel wedding in Vegas. So what now? While Edward studies in Boston, Bella has her life in Tennessee. They soon realize that they have feelings for each other but are unsure whether it's enough to stay married and not file for divorce instead. And worst of all, how will the parents react? To hell with 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!'!

Ony Hazy Night is a very well written short-story that you will most likely read in one sitting! Though the plot centers around an often used cliché - waking up married in Las Vegas - the characters deal rather realistically with the whole situation. That they are both wearing wedding bands now does not mean that Edward and Bella suddenly realize their true feelings for each other, far from it. While Bella is pretty sure she'd like to see where this thing with Edward is going, he is a lot more skeptical and only reluctantly agrees to give it a try. Interestingly enough, in the end, it will be the long distance between them that will get them closer! An angst-free short story with a nice lemon in the end and a few funny moments in between!

One Hazy Night consists of 11 chapters and 18,977 words. The story is rated M for description of sexual situations and profanities.
