Hello everyone!! So ever since I saw the "movie" option, I was wondering what was all that different between the Twilight movie and the Twilight book. The first thing I got was the addition of the Cullen crest. I love the crest, and think it adds so much to the family as a whole. Anyway, that got me thinking, so I decided to write out a little one-shot for each Cullen about how/when they got their crest. They are all really short, and really rough. I really hope you enjoy them, seeing as I'm having so much fun writing them! I begin with a short introduction, to kind of tie it in to the movie. I guess this would take place before prom, in that span of time that Bella is healing.

Prologue: Gang Signs

"I mean, it's like some sort of gang." I wasn't listening to Jessica before she said that. Suddenly my head snapped around, and I raised any eyebrow.

"What do you mean, gang?" A gang in Forks sounded ridiculous enough, but from Jessica's pretty mouth, it sounded impossible.

"The Cullens." She muttered. The entire lunch table glanced over at them for a moment, then returned when Jasper looked back at us. I tried not to smile, knowing he had felt the sudden thrill of fear from my classmates. I'm sure he was laughing about it right now.

"They're not a gang." I said, shaking my head. "They're a family."

"No, shut up Bella." Jess was not being patient today. "They are creepy. I mean, I understand that family sticks together and whatever Disney crap you want to tell me, but honestly, what's up with the logo?"

"Jess, that's the family crest." Angela said, laughing slightly. "Most old families have one. I bet there's a Stanley crest out there."

"Yeah, but I'm not wearing it around my neck like a billboard, am I?" She asked, glaring at Rosalie, who glared back. "And who says it's the actual Cullen crest? We don't know where it came from. It could be a fake. I'm telling you, it's weird! They all wear it, all the time. What's with that?"

"You're reading too much into it." I rolled my eyes at her, picking at my lunch.

"Seriously, Jess, chill." Mike managed to choke out around a mouthful of…something.

"You guys can say what you want now." She warned, taking a sip from her Diet Pepsi. "But just wait. When they are all on the news for having some underground drug ring, I'll be able to say 'I told you so'."

I laughed with everyone else, but didn't join in on the Jessica bashing that followed. She got me thinking, only unlike her, I knew where to get my answers.

"Jessica thinks you are all part of a gang." I informed Edward as I slid into the Volvo, even though he already knew.

"So I've heard." He said slyly. "We need to think of a way to thank Angela for setting her straight."

"But she's right." I said suddenly. Edward looked at me sharply, and I could feel his frustration. "I don't know where it came from." I clarified.

"Oh." He sighed with relief, smiling again. "So you want to know the story."

"Yes." I nodded firmly. He shrugged.

"There really isn't one." He caught my outraged expression, and continued. "There isn't. It started, like everything about our family, with Carlisle. It was his family crest, but he knew that with his disappearance, it would die out. So he kept it."

"There's more." I hissed. There had to be more. The Cullens never had a short story.

"I suppose you could ask everyone when they first got it." He shrugged. "But really, it isn't much of a story."

"I will." I warned him. He just chuckled, turning up the road to his home.
