It's a Wonderful Existence
It's a Wonderful Life meets Twilight
Merry Christmas!
This is my holiday rerun of this story.
This is based on the movie; It's a Wonderful Life starring Jimmy Steward. This is my version starring Rosalie.
The underlined words are borrowed from the movie script.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or It's a Wonderful Life, but because of Him I have one.
Chapter 1
"Father, please help my daughter. She seems so lost this season. I don't know what to do for her."
"God, Grandda says you listen. Please help my auntie, she's so sad and I know it's because of me. So help her, if you will, not to be so sad."
"If you're there God, please help my sister."
"Please! Someone help my wife!"
"Hello, Joseph," said a deep kind gentle voice.
"Trouble?" another voice, Joseph, asked.
"Looks like we'll have to send someone down." The gentle voice answered. "A father asking for help."
"Who?" Joseph asked.
"Carlisle Cullen," the voice told him.
"The vampire?" Joseph questioned, surprised.
"Yes."
"But we're never help one before." Said Joseph, confused
"Because one has not asked for help before."
"But a…" Joseph began then stopped his protest.
"He is faithful. That's all I need."
"Yes, sir." Joseph agreed.
"It's his daughter he prays for."
"Which one, sir?" Joseph asked.
"Rosalie."
"Oh, Rosalie," Joseph said understandingly. "She has reached her crucial night. You're right."
"We'll have to send someone down immediately. Clarence."
"Clarence? Sir?" questioned Joseph, shocked.
"Yes, Clarence is just what this girl needs."
"Are you sure, sir?" Joseph asked still surprise by the choice. "He's only had that one success."
"Yes, with George Bailey, I know – he'll do just fine, doing that again."
"Are you sure, sir?" Joseph question again. "Because, you know, sir, he's got the I.Q. of a rabbit."
"Yes, but the faith of a child."
"Yes, sir." Joseph finally agreed to the choice.
"Joseph, send for Clarence."
"You sent for me, sir." Another voice joined a soft, sweet, almost child-like but that of an older adult voice.
"Yes, Clarence." The gentle voice answered.
"Oh! Sir!" Clarence cried.
"A young woman down on earth needs our help. I wish for you to do what you do best."
"Oh sir, yes sir!" Clarence promised.
"Good," the voice approved. "I'll leave Joseph to explain."
"Splendid!" Clarence said then asked "Is she sick?".
"No. worse. She is discouraged." Joseph began.
"Oh, dear."
"She is now debating whether to continue as is or going to the Volturi to throw away God's greatest gift."
"Oh, dear, dear! Her life! I don't have time to dress. What are they wearing now?"
"You have time to get acquainted with Rosalie Hale Cullen." Joseph interrupted Clarence's babbling.
"Rosalie Hale!" Clarence exclaimed. "Isn't she a –"
"Yes."
"So that's why she would go to the Volturi to end her life. – But she's not alive!"
"She exist, Clarence." Joseph told him. "And He wants her continued existence."
"Yes, yes. Of course, of course."
"Good, now watch."
"Watch?"
"If you're going to help the child, you want to know something about her, don't you?"
"Well, naturally, of course, I…" Clarence stuttered.
"Well, keep your eyes open…" Joseph began. "See the town?"
"Where? I…I don't see a thing." Clarence cried, worried. "Oh, there. Now I see."
"Good!" Joseph told him.
"Thank-you." Clarence said, pleased at the praise.
"Pay Attention."
A/N: If you do not know It's a Wonderful Life became a Christmas classic after many years when it began to be shown on television. For a while there, there wasn't a night or day that passed that it wasn't air. I remember it being on three different channels at three different times one night. Now it is owned by NBC, I think, and they only show it once or twice during the Christmas season. I, however, will be following the old tradition and rerunning this story once it is all posted many times.
