Hello! So the last thing I needed to do in my life was start a whole new story. I have more than a few that are begging to be updated but I couldn't ignore my hand at trying out a Bella/Alice fic. This will definitely be a first for me because I am adventuring in some sort of unfamiliar territory. Vampire, werewolves, humans and how they mesh together... not exactly my strong point. However, don't let that discourage you - try this on for size! I'll do my best in bringing this all together.

Stephenie Meyer owns all the characters, her creative mind is epic. The story line as it progresses will be branched from my amateur creative mind.

In Any Other World

Chapter One – Forks Welcomes You

Brown eyes peered over the bus window, taking in the boring scenery as she passed through the first few seconds of Forks, Washington. Isabella Swan looked forward to spending two weeks with her father, Charlie, every summer. She enjoyed his company at most times and even made a few friends that she looked forward to seeing while she was there as well.

However, the bus she was on wasn't just taking her to Forks for a two week summer vacation. That bus was taking her to a whole boring school year because she felt guilt tripped into spending more time with her father while her mother moved away from her hometown in Phoenix, to be with her new husband.

It wasn't like Bella had minded that her mother remarried. Phil had been in the family for well over six years of her life. She just hated that his career as a major league baseball player took Renée away from her.

The bus driver had announced that they were now stopping and Bella was quick to get off of it. She stumbled slightly down the stairs and grabbed her luggage from its spot beside the bus.

"I'm sure I can help you with that," a deep voice had said from behind her. She turned around to find a tall six foot four, Jacob Black staring back at her with a cheesy smile. "Hey Bells!"

"Jake!" Bella smiled widely and wrapped herself around his warm body. "Oh my God, I didn't know you'd be meeting me."

Jacob chuckled a little and nodded, easily picking up her larger than large suitcase. "Charlie had to work a little late and I offered to swing by. You could've told me you were coming in your emails." He scolded a little.

"I wanted it to be a surprise. I figured I'd show up at your door tomorrow morning and watch you make that fishy mouth look you get when you're all shocked." Bella teased and looped her small arm around his. "Jesus, you've been eating your vegetables haven't you?"

"What?" He laughed as they made their way out to his red truck.

"You've shot up in size since I saw you a few months ago," she raised an eyebrow. "Not doing drugs I hope."

Jacob only laughed and pulled on the collar of his shirt smugly. "So hey, I was thinking maybe we could catch a movie in Port Angeles this weekend before school starts?"

Bella nodded and smiled. "That'd be fun."

The ride to Bella's house was like every other ride with Jacob, fun and relaxing. She felt safe with him and truly valued the friendship they built since she had gotten to know him when she was nine.

"Charlie's home." Jacob cut the engine when he pulled up behind the police cruiser. "Are you excited about living here for the school year?"

Bella managed to shrug but kept a small smile on her face. "My dad's pretty quiet with his excitement but I know it means the world to him that I decided to stay here without a fight. So as long as he's happy, I'm happy."

"Yeah," Jacob grinned, "he pretty much bought you a whole bedroom set. I talked him out of getting anything pink related."

"Thank you." Bella gasped and laughed at the thought of her father scrounging around the stores for the perfect coloured room for her. "Even if he did, it'd be the thought that counted."

"I wouldn't be caught dead in your room with the amount of pink he was talkin' Bells." Jacob laughed and rubbed his arm a bit where the brunette punched him.

The front screen door opened and Bella turned to see Charlie standing there with a shy and awkward smile on his face. "Good to see you, Bella." He greeted her as she made her way up the driveway.

Bella hugged her father and pulled back, placing a kiss on his cheek. "I just left like three months ago, dad."

"I know," he sheepishly shrugged, "but I have you for a whole year. I'm a little worried I won't live up to your memories of me."

Bella frowned slightly at the memories she did have with Charlie and Renée living under the same roof. Sighing, she wrapped Charlie in a quick hug. "We're here to build new ones, how about that?"

Charlie nodded and cleared his throat. "Jake." He greeted the teenager politely and held the screen door open for them. "Thank you for picking Bells up for me. I had a few things to tie up at the station and I ran into an old friend, got tied up with him."

"No problem sir, I didn't mind." Jacob smiled and followed Bella up to her bedroom. They opened the door together while holding their breath. No pink had appeared anywhere. "You're welcome," he whispered into Bella's ear before walking in behind her and placing her suitcase down.

Bella smiled at the dark blues and greens that covered her room. Charlie did an outstanding job at making her the perfect bedroom for her stay. "It's perfect," she smiled softly at her father, who stood in the doorway nervously.

"Well Jake said pink would make you scream and run for the hills. I couldn't take that risk." Charlie chuckled. "I already took the liberty of registering you in school, Bella. I hope you don't mind. You start Monday."

The brunette groaned and flopped back in her bed. "I hate school."

Jacob laughed. "At least it'll be your last year. I still have to go next year."

"You still go to school in La Push?" Bella asked her friend.

"Yeah," Jacob nodded, "it's customary. I live there so I have to be educated there." He shrugged like it was no big deal.

"Great. I won't know anyone!" Bella cried dramatically and tried to smother herself with the pillow. She only had a few friends in Forks and they were all in La Push.

"Well this'll make you happy," Charlie piped up from the doorway, "I ran into an old friend, Carlisle Cullen. He and his family just moved here from Pennsylvania and he has a few kids starting at Forks High on Monday as well. They're all around your age."

"What does he have, triplets?" Bella raised an eyebrow and smiled at the sound of Charlie's laughter.

"None of them are actually his biologically. He adopted them, him and his wife. He's a doctor here in Forks. I swear that man never ages." Charlie frowned in thought before smiling and taking off downstairs.

"Forks just keeps getting bigger and bigger." Jacob mumbled with a childish grin.

"Aw, you're just afraid I'll make new friends and stop playing with you and the others." Bella teased. "No worries Jacob boy, you'll always have me."

Jacob's smile was more than a mile wide as he studied the girl next to him on the bed. "Ditto." He whispered.

The weekend was quite eventful for Bella. She'd spent most of her time in La Push with her old friends. Leah Clearwater was more than thrilled to hear that her only 'non La Push' friend would be sticking around for more than two weeks. She even offered her a place to stay when she wanted to get away from the boring side of Forks.

Bella made herself at home quickly at Jacob's place. Billy Black, Jacob's father, welcomed her in with opened arms since she was nine.

"So I talked it over with Charlie," Jacob led Bella to the small garage at the end of his property, "and he said as long as you're safe, you can ride this."

The small door opened and Bella watched her friend hunch down in the smaller space. Gasping in shock, she grasped Jacob's arm and stared at the motorcycle sitting shiny and pretty in front of her. "Jake!" She squealed. "You actually built me a bike!"

Jacob promised her he would if she managed to stay in Forks longer than two weeks. When he found out from Billy that she'd be moving for the year, he didn't hesitate to start on it. "A promise is a promise."

"Charlie really gave the okay?!" Bella squealed again and circled the motorcycle, her shaky fingers trailing over the handle bars.

"Well yes, on one condition," he grinned, "you can only ride it on our land where traffic is slow."

"Damn." She muttered. How cool would it have been to ride up to her new school on that thing?

"However," Jacob tossed her a set of keys and was surprised at her unusually fast reflex. "My truck is yours."

"What? Jake, no." Bella shook her head but before she could give him the keys back, he was right in front her, his large fingers pressed against her lips.

"It's really okay Bells," he spoke softly. "Your dad was looking for an old beat up car for you anyway and since I was already fixing this up to sell it, I thought it'd be nice for you to get around in. Plus you can come see me with no excuses." His boyish grin sent Bella's lips into a full blown smile.

"Thank you." Her arms were thrown around his broad shoulders and her face pressed against his neck.

Jacob wrapped his arms around her small frame and held her tight. "Anything for you," he murmured into her hair.

Bella instantly pulled back and smiled a little, running her hands through her hair. "So uh, how much do I owe you for this?"

"I'd like visitation rights." The young man teased and opened up the driver side door for her. "And nothing at all," he said in a serious tone. "Just please tell me you know how to drive stick?"

"Huh," Bella chuckled at that and shook her head. "Phil drives stick and he taught me a little bit. Good thing Forks lacks hills or I'd be in trouble."

Jacob laughed and checked his watch. "So I told Sam and Emily I'd eat with them tonight, you're more than welcome to tag."

"Actually Charlie wanted to spend time with me tonight anyway so I should get going." Bella hopped into the driver's seat, taking in her surroundings. Her eyes fell upon the boy standing next to where she was sitting, leaning against the door of the truck. "Thank you Jake, this means the world to me."

Jacob blushed slightly and shrugged like it was no big deal. "Anything for you Isabella Swan."

Bella leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek before pulling back. "You're awesome, you know that?"

"Yea well I try." Jacob laughed and closed the door. "Drive safe and come visit me this weekend!"

Bella nodded and started up the truck, waving one last time to her friend before pulling out of the garage. She wished she could go to school in La Push; at least she'd have friends she could hang out with on her first day.

She didn't know what her first day would be like at Forks High and she wasn't that excited to find out.

Unfortunately, Bella had no other choice.
