Leah: YAY! ANOTHER STORY!!
Rose: This is a great one! I just know it
Leah: So let's get started.
Rose: We own nothing from this Twilight Saga. Only Heather, Lynn, Fay, and anyone you don't recognize.
Leah: And this is Alternate Universe, meaning that everyone is human.
Rose: And if you want to know who Lynn, Fay and Heather are, read the story that is under the Twilight Section on my part of the profile.
"___" Speaking '___' Sign Language '____" Both
I always knew my life was different from everyone else in my family. One, I was in a wheelchair. Two, I'm deaf. My brother, Edward, is also deaf. He was born deaf, I'm gradually becoming completely deaf. I am a twin, my twin is my sister, Lynn. Despite being in a wheelchair and being deaf, me and my sister are identical, I just ended up with bad ears, and being in an accident didn't help. I did physical therapy, but it was a lost cause. My bedroom was on the first floor, since wheelchairs are not designed to go upstairs, I've been drawing up some figures, but me and Edward decided they were both inconclusive, meaning, won't work, in layman's terms. I was wheeling out of my room when my big bear of a brother, Emmett, came running past me, I screamed. I heard my scream, I can hear loud sounds(Like fireworks, sirens, my own scream), but I am put down medically deaf.
"Sorry, Heather. Mom and Dad are coming home." He said/signed.
"OK, get outta here ya big grizzly bear!" I started wheeling my chair toward him, and he jumped out of the way. I rolled past the stairs and stopped, I heard someone stomp down them, my pig-headed sister(Adopted) Rosalie Hale, was mumbling something I couldn't hear. She passed by me, still mumbling, and walking over to Emmett. I looked up the stairs to see my color-blind twin, Lynn. She needed Fay, our younger sister, for Lynn, colors were a mystery. She saw the world like old Stooge episodes (black and white). She couldn't do any coloring assignments. But man could she sing, thankfully, the guy who invented music writing, wrote them in black and white, so she could sing to her hearts content. Then Fay. who was basically a clone of Alice,(Twins are clones, but clones aren't twins. I learned that a while ago.) was the normal one of us. I heard someone trip, I looked up and saw Edward, he tripped on a few stairs, I wheeled as close as I could to the stairs and held my arms out, he grabbed them and he slowly pushed with his legs and we backed up. When he was stable he hugged me.
'Thank you.' he signed.
'Anytime, hey have you figured out how you see colors when you play or hear music?'
'Not yet, hopefully Dad will help.' Our father was a doctor. Dr. Cullen to be exact. He was with his wife, our mother, Esme, on a second honeymoon, and were coming home today. Alice ran down the stairs with her boyfriend, Jasper Hale, Rosalie's twin. Having two sets of twins in the house was great! The door set off a low beep only I could hear, and only Edward could "see" I turned and saw the door open halfway. I wanted to go over there and help open the door, but my chair would get in the way. Our father opened the door all the way, and I wheeled over as fast as I could.
"Dad!" He bent over and hugged me as tight as he could.
"I missed you!" He said, loud for everyone to hear, and it was also right in my eardrum. I let go and hugged my mom. After a few minutes of getting greeted by parents, and learning the news, turns out Chief Swan's daughter was coming over from Phoenix, Arizona. I was suddenly pushed by Jasper to the kitchen, turns out I didn't hear anyone go into the kitchen. I started crying, because I never heard them leave. Edward saw me and he walked over.
'I'll take her Jasper.' He took my chair and moved it next to his at the table, it was dinner time, one of my favorite meals of the day, my favorite being lunch! Today we had steak, mashed potato's, peas, corn-off-the-cob, apple sauce, biscuits and butter, it looked like Christmas, only without the songs and crazy lights that drive me and Edward, mostly Edward, off the wall.
Lynn's POV
I smelled all the great food and smiled. All I saw was black and white but the aroma was just like seeing colors. A little information on myself. I have been color blind ever since I was 5. I remember colors, red, brown, black, green, I remember them all. But my eyesight got worse over the course of a year. By the time I was 7 I was completely color blind. Mom and Dad tried everything to keep my sight from losing it's color, but nothing worked. Surgeries were failers, all of them. The one thing I keep close to me and hope I never lose is singing. Edward loves my voice, even though he's completely deaf, he can see colors, and he says (or signs) that my voice is the color of blue. I checked online and blue is the color of calm and peace, and Edward always told me that I calm him down.
"How was your vacation Mom?" I asked, signing so Edward could understand. I saw Heather poke Edward so he could see what we were talking about.
"The vacation was great! Esme Island was just as beautiful as last time. Edward you would have loved the local music. Carlisle recorded it and will play it after dinner."
'I look forward to it.' Edward signed and continued eating. Rosalie sighed and looked at her watch and gasped.
"I'm late!!" Rosalie yelled. Edward looked up and looked at Rosalie.
"Late for what?" Edward asked. I felt bad for him, he didn't know what he sounded like to the world but we all could understand him.
"Drama Club! The play we're doing is Macbeth." Heather and Edward smiled and their eyes started glowing...well I can't see changes in shades that well but their gray faces brightened.
"We'll be there!" They both said, Rosalie smiled, kissed Emmett, and ran out the door.
Edward's POV
I looked at the door as a white flash hit my eyes. Heather was looking at me.
'What?'
'Nothing. I love you, brother.'
'I love you too, sister.' We both went back to eating, she looked like she was having a hard time cutting her steak. I took the fork and knife from her and cut it for her.
'Thanks.' And she went back to eating. After dinner we all went to our separate rooms. Tonight, I didn't feel like sleeping alone, so I followed Heather to her room. She put on her pajamas and I helped her into bed. Then I pulled the hide-a-bed out from under hers and got into it.
"Good night, Heather." I hoped to say.
'Good night, Edward, and you said my name perfectly.' She rubbed my head, which I hated, and we both fell asleep.
The next morning we both woke up to the sound of Emmett pounding on our door. Heather signed that Emmett had told Heather that we would be late for school, so we both got up, got dressed, and I helped Heather into her wheelchair. I opened the door before I hooked her backpack onto the back of her chair, then I saw a dark flash, Rosalie was honking the horn on the big jeep. I walked over to my Volvo, and helped Heather in before putting her chair in the trunk. Then we drove off to school.
Heather's POV
The way Edward drives is kinda crazy, but we are all used to it. As he pulled into the parking lot, we saw a rusted red truck. I poked him, and pointed.
'Must be the new girls,' he signed. He got out and pulled out my chair. I still got shocked looks when Eddie pulls out my whee chair, but hey, I was used to it... and running over Mike Newton when he acts like I'm retarded. Edward started lifting me out of the car when he jerked. Turns out my seat belt was still locked.
'Oops.' I signed and unbuckled. He lifted me out and into my chair. He then pushed me to our first class. I was basically his translator, sitting next to him. translating when the actuall translator was sick, but when the translator wasn't we were able to learn. He pushed me in and the teacher greeted us.
'Good morning you two.' He signed, luckily this teacher minored in sign language in collage. So we were good here.
'Good morning, Mr. Mason.' I signed back. Edward put me in my place and he sat next to me. We waited until the bell rang. Mr. Mason told us the bell rang and we nodded. He started signing the lesson. Me and Edward took notes. The rest of the class was just notes, no homework. The bell rang an hour later and we packed up our stuff. Edward wheeled us to our next class. Today the translator was sick. Damn, Edward kissed the top of my head and walked to his seat. I was in the front of the class, translating, seeing Edward writing notes for me and himself. I was glad that he was ambidextrous. The teacher gave us the homework and me and Edward finished in a few minutes. Geometry was easy, if you had Edward as a brother. OH, I forgot, we are sophomores, while Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett were juniors. The bell rang and he wheeled me to gym. I could do the mile in five minutes... in a straight line. I tried turning, but I couldn't do that... yet, I'm training. Today I tried doing the curves. On the last lap I fell. Edward ran over and helped me up. He sensed Mike laughing and he punched his nuts. Mike fell over like a ton of bricks. I smiled at Edward and he hugged me. The teacher ran over. He didn't need an explanation.
"You'll get this right soon, Heather." Edward said into my ear. I nodded. The teacher checked me out, said I was good, gave me a bandage for my forehead, and he dismissed me and Edward.
"Why do the retards get special treatment?" Asked Mike. I wheeled around with Edward.
"We may be retards." Edward said, "But at least our IQ's excel yours." And we turned around and left the gym. We waited for the family at the lunchroom. Alice ran up and hugged me, sensing something had happened. We entered the lunchroom and sat at the table with the big blue and white picture of a person in a wheelchair on it. When we sat down, Edward asked me what I wanted.
'Give me a... cheeseburger, french fries, and... a coke!' He nodded and walked away to get our food. I sat there alone, waiting for my family. Fay was still in middle school, 7th grade. Edward came back with his tray and mine. I thanked him and bit into the cheeseburger. After a few minutes it was in my stomach, and I started on the fries, when I saw Edward looking at something. I looked up.
"Is that the new girl?" Edward asked, Rosalie nodded.
"I wonder if she's in any of your classes." Alice said, I translated and me and Edward shook our heads 'no' for now. We ate our lunch in peace after that. When the bell rang, me and Edward headed to Biology. When we entered I took my seat at the side of the desk, on his left, then the new girl came in. She asked if the seat was taken, I could faintly hear her.
"No, go ahead." My voice sounded strained.
"I'm Bella." She held out her hand, I shook it.
"Heather, this is my brother, Edward, may I warn you before hand-" I coughed, "We don't speak very well."
"Why?"
"We're deaf." She looked a little shocked. But then she smiled.
"That's OK. I don't mind. Plus I've always wanted to learn sign language." I smiled and translated to Edward, he smiled and turned to Bella and held out his hand. She shook it and the bell rang. Edward turned his attention to the translator. Even though this teacher gave us the notes, we still felt comfortable with the translator. The whole period, Edward kept looking at Bella.
'She's nice?' He asked.
'Seems like it. I like her.'
'Me too. Not like like, but...'
'I know.' The bell rang and Edward helped clean up and we walked out of the class room. We had to leave early that day because our hearing tests were today. We groaned. Dad was there, Mom drove the Volvo home, we had extra keys. He helped me into the big van, and we drove off to the hospital.
Edward POV
'Dad, why do we have to go to the hospital?'
'Hearing test.' Dad signed back.
'But I don't hear anything.' I was frustrated.
'Yes, but it has been since 5th grade that you two had the test. Who knows, maybe your hearing got better with out you knowing.' That always filled us with false hope. We got there, and Dad checked our ears and gave Heather a mobility test. Once he let her go she fell, her legs useless. Dad told her that her legs were probably useless forever, but she still wanted the testing. She cried a little, but Dad cheered her up. Nothing cheered Heather up more then drawing supplies. She hugged him and he helped her back into her chair.
'Your next.' He said as he tickled me, I laughed and then he put head phones on both of our ears, taking off the hearing aids, which didn't help me at all. He told us to raise our hands when we hear the beep. Heather raised her hand every now and then, all I saw were different colors.
"Dad... I see colors still." Carlisle explained that in some instances, deaf people, when they hear something, they see a color. I nodded. He took off the headphones and gave me a new C.D. It was the music he was talking about at dinner last night. I hugged him and showed Heather the C.D. She nodded, wanting to put her hands to the speakers, and feel the vibrations of the beats. We usually do that with Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Louis Armstrong, and with country, such as Kenny Chensy, Brad Paisley, and Rodney Atkins. When we got home, Heather was anxious to get out so she opened the door and threw her chair out of the door. My father yelled something, and signed to her not to throw the chair. When she signed back, his eyes widened and he put her into the chair and wheeled her into the house.
'Bathroom.' I thought as I took her art supplies and my C.D. inside.
Heather POV
"Thanks Dad." I said as I wheeled out of the bathroom.
'You're welcome.' He rubbed my head and he pushed me into the kitchen. Edward saw me and threw an apple in my direction, Granny Smith. I smiled and bit into it, then let go.
"I hate braces." I muttered and made a smaller bite. Edward was eating a red one. When we finished our snack we went to my room and he put the C.D. into my stereo, I grabbed my sketchpad and my new utensils and started drawing what the vibrations were giving me. I sensed peace, tranquility, security. Edward's eyes were closed, his hands on the stereo. I put my hand on top of his. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He smiled. Then Emmett came bursting thought the door.
"Why are you two in here listening to music when a hockey game is on?" I smacked Emmett, he got the message, I apologized for slapping him, and he kissed my head and left. I rubbed my ponytail back into place and adjusted the gloves I was wearing. When the song was over, I had shown Edward my drawing. He signed that the colors were of those he saw in his eyes. I smiled and we both finished our homework to the sound of the music. The next day was weird. Bella greeted us, which wasn't the weird part, but when we reached our lockers.... Me and Edward were shell-shocked. Our lockers were vandalized, spray painted with the word "RETARDS" on our lockers. I started crying, Lynn ran over, greeted herself to Bella, and said she wanted to kill whoever was responsible. I hesitatingly opened my locker and gasped, my picture of me and Edward, when I was out of the hospital after my accident, was ruined. My books were torn, graffiti'ed, and Edward's was no better. His was exactly the same.
"Edward?" Bella asked. He never moved, even if he could have heard. His eyes started tearing as he grabbed a crumpled mess. I gasped. It was the wolf I made him last year. I grabbed it, 'I can fix it!' He shook his head.
"We.... need....evidence..... Bella..... can you.... take pictures?" He asked, hesitantly. She nodded and started taking pictures with her phone, and she sent them to Chief Swan. We all ran(or in my case, wheeled) our way to the Principles' office, showing him the pictures. He said that he was sorry this had to happen to us, and suggested we go home. Lynn gave me a picture, it was of all of us, the whole family. She was telling us that we would get through this. I started crying again, and Edward hugged me, letting a few of his tears shed as we walked to our car. We drove back to the house, the radio un-touched. When we entered through the door, Esme hugged us.
'I know what happened at school, oh I am so sorry, my poor babies.' She hugged us again.
'Me and Heather are going to my room.' He signed, picked me up from my chair, and walked upstairs, he put me in a chair and ran down to grab my chair, then we were walking to his room. I loved his room, full glass wall overlooking the mountains, forest, and river. I was glad. He then put me in his lap on the bed, and I was then reminded of why we were home early. We started crying until we fell asleep. I woke up when I felt something move. I looked up and saw Jasper walking out of the room, I looked down. He put a blanket over us, I smiled and fell back asleep.
Lynn's POV
"I'll MURDER whoever did that!!" I yelled, seeing the graffiti and vandalism again. Bella was in my English 2 class and she nodded.
"I know, whoever did that is just terrible!" Bella said. "My dad is looking at the handwriting and type of paint that was used. He'll be here later when schools done. Do you have any idea who did it?" I nodded.
"That's where I'm going. MIKE NEWTON!!!" I yelled across the hall. He looked at me and his eyes went wide. "YOU DID THAT TO MY FAMILY'S LOCKERS!! I may be color blind but I can see slime a mile away!! YOU DID THAT!!" I drew my hand back for a punch but I felt a larger hand hold it. I looked behind me and saw Emmett and Alice. I started crying and looked at Mike. "You are so damn lucky that I didn't punch you, but watch out for my brother Emmett." I sang. I heard Bella gasp and I smiled and started walking to Algebra 2 with Emmett...Yes I was in Junior classes. After school we drove home in Emmett's big jeep, why did he drive it to school today? Anyway, we got home and I jumped out of the car and ran inside. Jasper was watching "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" Subtitles on and everything. I sighed, since I couldn't see the colors of the movie, I remember them though, all bright and lively. They were at the part after the jail, with the Pharaoh singing his song, about his dream. It was funny. Edward laughed when Joseph checked the Bible for anything about what was happening. Heather was laughing at the lyrics.
'Donny Osmond is great, but he needs a haircut in this movie.' Heather signed.
'I like the Pharaoh.' Edward said.
'Why?'
'No idea, he's one of my favorite characters.'
'Yeah... maybe because you see Elvis's colors.' The movie had the Pharaoh yelling at one part.
'How the ladies flocked to him.' Heather sarcastically signed, her hands making dramatic movements.
The movie cut to the brothers, and a French number, called "Those Canaan days."
'Hahaha, he ate a bug!' Heather said.
'Well he was hungry.' Edward said, 'And their French accents are atrocious, the colors are dull!'
'Look, they're fighting over her drumstick!' After the French number, they had Joseph and his brothers, with a fight, then the number, called, "Benjamin Calypso" played, and Heather, if she could, bounced in her seat. Then the reprise, and the credits.
'I love that movie.' Edward signed.
'Me too. Come on, let's go see Jacob.' Heather signed, grabbing her wheelchair, and hopped in. Edward opened the door and Heather went outside.
"Where are you going?" Asked Mom from the kitchen.
"Jacob." Edward said,
'Be home soon.' Dad signed. They nodded and they left.
Jacob's POV
I was tuning my car when I heard a familiar car horn, so I dropped my tools and ran to the front yard. Billy rolled out to the front door.
"Edward and Heather are coming over, if you didn't hear the horn." He said sarcasticlly.
"YES!" I ran and saw a familiar Volvo drive up. I waved and Heather waved back. I helped Heather into her chair and hugged her, then Edward jumped on me from behind. I laughed and walked a few steps before we started wrestling. Heather started rolling to us.
"AHH!!" Me and Edward yelled and started running toward the house. Billy saw Heather and waved her over. In my house, Heather felt normal, she didn't feel like an outcast like she did in her house. She told me once. "How's school you two?" Billy asked. Heather thought for a minute, then shook her head as she got what he said.
"Someone vandalized our lockers." She said.
'What? who would do that?' I asked.
'I'm thinking it was Mike Newton, but I could be wrong...not!' Edward said back. Heather also said they ruined the wolf she made for Edward. That made us mad, wolves were quite revered in my tribe for many many many years, even if artwork is ruined we go a little crazy.
'I'll murder him!" I signed and said.
"Jacob, don't go jumping to conclusions, Edward said 'think', who knows who did it."
"Emmett...said...Mike...Newton." Edward said.
"OK, that's it, I'm going to kill him." Heather looked at me, silently saying, "Stay out of this, we don't want you to get hurt, he may be a sophomore, but he has been in that high school since we were in 6th grade." He and his girlfriend, Jessica, who has been on and off, so far off, have been in that high school a little too long. They should be in college.
"Do you guys want to look at my car? I'm almost finished."
'Yeah, c'mon Edward, his car's almost done.' Heather allowed me to push her to the shed in the back. When I opened the door, their jaws dropped.
"Wow." They both said.
'This is almost finished? It looks finished to me.' Heather said.
'I said almost because it needs a paint job and some tires, so far it's sitting on cement blocks.' We talked for a bit, me working on the car while Edward sat inside it, and Heather in her chair. Soon it was 9:00.
"JACOB! HEATHER AND EDWARD NEED TO GO HOME NOW!" my dad yelled.
"OK!'Sorry guys, it's time for you to go.'"
'It's OK, we had fun!' Edward said, he hugged me again and Heather hugged me too.
'Bye Jake!' Heather waved as Edward ran her back to the car. I walked into my house and waved from the front door.
Heather's POV
'Jake was fun today.' I signed, trying to make small talk.
'He was. I want to go back soon.'
'How soon?'
'Next week?'
'OK, I'll ask Dad and see if he can drive us.' As we drove, a car was following us, 'Ummm, Eddie?'
'Yeah?'
"Step on it! Newton car 6 o'clock!" I yelled, Edward looked in his mirror, sensing something was wrong, and drove faster, until we reached the house. As we drove through the long drive through the woods to our house, we both breathed a sigh of relief. When we pulled into the garage, Fay was waiting for us,
'Hey Fay!' I said.
"Hey Fay, nothing, Mom's worried." She said. Edward walked into the house.
"We're home!" I yelled.
"There you are!"
'We were at Jacob's lost track of time don't get mad!' Edward signed so fast, *I* couldn't keep up.
"It's OK, just call us next time you plan to stay at Jacob's the rest of the day.' Dad said as he entered the room.
"OK." Edward said, and he wheeled me to my room, we both entered, apparently he was staying there again.
"OK, you can stay." I said as he gave me the puppy dog eyes, He smiled and he jumped into his bed. I rolled onto mine.
'Is today Friday?' he asked.
'Ummmm....Yeah.'
'Good, I need a break.' He said as he leaned into his pillow. I smiled and put on Louis Armstrong, and we fell asleep listening to 'What a Wonderful World', how ironic.
Edward's POV
I woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, and waffles. Being deaf also means that my other senses are heightened. I can see twenty-twenty. So can Heather. We both got out of bed and I helped a sleepy Heather into her chair. When she almost wheeled herself into the door, I grabbed her chair and pushed her to the kitchen. We were the second ones up besides Mom and Dad. We waved as they turned around. I put Heather at her usual spot, next to me.
'Did you sleep well?' Asked Dad.
'Yep.' I was awake, but Heather ended up falling asleep in her chair. I shook her awake and she jumped a little.
'Sorry, I was up late last night.'
'What did you do?' Mom asked.
'I drew this.' She turned and pulled something out of her chair's pocket, and unfolded it. It was a drawing of the Animaniacs, to be more precise, the Warner Brothers, and their sister, Dot.
'Wow, that's really good.' The house shook, 'Emmett's awake, put that back before he gets syrup on it.' Mom said. She did. A little fact on my parents, Carlisle is from England, Mom, here in America. They met, fell in love and had their first child, Emmett. Then Alice, then me, then the twins, Heather and Lynn a year later,(we are in the same grade, but they are 15, going on 16, I'm 16, soon to be 17(I was born too late to be a junior in high school)) Then last they had Fay, the youngest, three years later. Mom broke me out of my trance when she rubbed my bed-head, which wasn't that bad. I looked down and saw my breakfast. I smiled and started eating. Heather was halfway done with her waffle!
'Do you have to eat that fast?' I asked.
'Yes. Yes I do.' She answered and went right back to eating. I sighed and started eating my bacon when Emmett came down, I saw a bright yellow flash, he yelled.
'Morning Emmett." I said, and went back to my breakfast. Soon the whole family was downstairs, since me and Heather ate already, we sat back and waited. The floor vibrated, and Heather started rolling a little bit. She grabbed her brakes and pulled them tighter. I ran and looked outside the window, "Mom..." She ran to the window and gasped. She ran outside and the big bulldozer stopped. The driver got out and talked to her, she pointed to the house and the sign in the front yard, it had a warning, saying two deaf children were in the neighbor hood, we also had one just outside the driveway. The driver looked confused. I walked outside with Heather.
'Edward, this man says that the house has been abandoned. Which it isn't." She said. I looked at the driver.
"Who told you to do this..." I asked, and I coughed.
Heather's POV
"A man by the name of... Newton." The driver said, and Edward growled.
"Thatboy vandalized our lockers at school, AND he thinks disability students shouldn't be here at all, he's like Hitler, only at a smaller scale." I said. The man nodded and told Esme he was sorry, he called someone and a huge truck came and picked it up. They drove away, but not after giving us the money Newton gave him to bulldoze our house. The rest of the weekend was OK, nothing bad happened, but when we went to school on Monday, Newton was surprised. When I gave him the money I said, "It's gonna take a lot more to get rid of us. Good always wins against Evil." I threw something at him, he unfurled it. It had a picture of him against the Nazi symbol. It was posted all over school, saying he wanted to get rid of kids with disabilities. Soon, all of the Special Ed kids, kids with IEP's in normal classes, started running toward him. He ran out of the school yard, the principle had seen the signs and asked who would do such a thing, we said we put up the signs, but we also said that was what Newton was like in the eyes of the school...well, OUR percentage of the school. The rest of the school saw him as the cool guy. The princeple was going to give us detention, which we wanted, but then he decided that getting teased and our lockers vandalized was bad enough. We looked at each other as the principle walked away, and groaned. We walked to our second period class, and took notes again. At lunch, Bella sat with us, to Edward's enjoyment. I was happy to see my brother like that. They had conversations, me translateing what Bella said, and Edward sometimes said things out loud.
"What's your favorite movie?" She asked.
"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Me and Heather can't stop watching it." Edward said.
"Except this one time where we watched it too much and we didn't get back into it until we saw an updated version of the play." I said, then we both to a drink of water at the same time, we stopped at the same time and started laughing.
"That's my favorite too!" We smiled.
'Who is your favorite character?" Asked Edward.
"Um..... the Pharaoh."
'Mine too!' I smiled, he had a lot in common with Bella. When we asked her why she was in Forks, she said her mother got re-married and Bella decided to move to her father's house.
Lynn's POV
I looked around the lunchroom and saw Mike Newton eating with Jessica.
"I'll be right back." I stood up and I walked over to Mike Newton. He looked up at me and smirked.
"What do you want Dog Eyes?" I growled at him.
"Listen here Bub. Dogs see colors, they just switch them, and I have a little proposition for you."
"Proposition?"
"A contest dummy. We all know you're the best male vocalist in this school, and I'm the best female vocalist." I grabbed a bottle of water and threw it across the room. It hit the wall and exploded over everyone. They all looked at me and I smiled. "I, Lynn Cullen, challenge you, Mike Newton, to a singing contest. Whoever wins gets complete control over the school. Loser must leave the school, forever." I heard Heather scream and I saw her translating for Edward. He looked at me with the 'ARE YOU INSANE?!' look and signed it. "I'm completely sane. The contest is in three months, at Turnabout. Don't be cocky Mr. Newton, I've been in voice lessons since I was six, I know what it takes to win one of these things. You're a stupid boy who got lucky. The music has to be Broadway, from any musical, and it has to be a solo. No duets changed to a solo but you can have a singer sing with you, she won't count against your score, can change the key to fit your voice placement, and it must be perfect. One flub and you lose." I felt Heather hit me with her wheels. I tipped Mike Newton's soda into his lap and walked over to my family.
"I KNOW THE PERFECT SONG!!" Heather yelled. The lunch room went back to talking, only now it was about the contest I just created.
"Sign it so Edward and only people at this table understand." Heather nodded and started signing.
'Any Dream Will Do by Andrew Loyd Webber, sung by Donny Osmond.' I told Bella what Heather suggested and she nodded.
"It's perfect. But who's going to transfer it into soprano."
"Second soprano, and Edward can do it. He can write the music to match the blue. It will take a while to get it right but he can do it." Bella looked confused. Edward started signing and speaking.
"I can see colors when people sing or I hear music. Lynn's voice is blue." Edward said. Bella nodded and Heather banged onto the table and groaned. 'What Heather?'
'I have a nasty feeling this is gonna backfire.'
