A/N: alright y'all here's the deal. I dreamt this. Well names changed to protect the innocent. But this is a short fic based on my dream. If anything doesn't make sense... blame my random dreams...
oh and this is set before the movie. I was thinking 1976... the inventor is still alive...
so on we go.... Blah blah I don't own Edward.... Blah blah.

"so what do you think? Isn't it pretty?" Katherine Rollins twirled again. Showing off her turquoise prom dress. Her best friend Tabie was sitting on the bed. Leafing through a Seventeen.
"yeah Kat," Tabie replied not even removing her eyes from the magazine.

Truth was, Tabie was the only person in her entire high school without a date to the prom. It was unnerving...

Tabie Clark wasn't an ugly girl. Far from it. She was average height. Had shoulder length blonde hair. Was a little on the chunky side, but nothing that a little diet and exercise couldn't fix. She was on the school newspaper and sang in the highest choir at school. But...Tabie was shy.

"So... Tabs, who are you going to prom with?" her best friend elbowed her. Lunch was always an interesting time of day. The time when the two could catch up... and when Tabie felt the worst.

"c'mon, Kat, you know I'm not going..." Tabie replied trying not to sound so self pitying.

"well that's not true... there could always be some sort of exchange student or something.." Katherine laughed, throwing her long brown hair over her shoulder. Katherine was the type of girl that any guy would want. Not that she was prettier than Tabie. She was short, had long brown hair, big eyes... and a bigger personality. With Katherine, you didn't have to talk much. She talked enough for the both of you. She was outgoing and photogentic.

"yeah maybe..." Tabie said dreamily, she knew who she wanted to go with. But there was no chance that he'd go with her.

God. Tabie thought if only I could get there... see him. But what would I say? "Hey Edward, remember me? Wanna go to prom?"

Edward. He wasn't a "normal" boy. More like... well long story short.... Edward lived with his father... inventor. In this huge old house... Tabie had gone there the previous summer... with her Grandmother. Grams had gone to school with Rhemus... they had dated, but nothing serious.

When Tabie went to visit. It seemed natural.

Oh, but you want to know about Edward? He was your normal boy. Looked about 18 or 19. wore a really random leather suit all the time. He had this adorable black hair. And pale skin. But what made Tabie fall in love was his eyes. Edward had these intense brown eyes. You could drown yourself in them...

The only thing that would separate him from the other boys at the prom?

He had scissors where his hands should be. Not that big of a deal though, right?

In the next chapter....Edward and my random observations from my dream... and let me know what you think. If you like the story... hate the story. If you think any character is annoying... whatever floats yer boat. I'll keep writing b/c my dream is too random not to share w/ all y'all.
