Okay, I don't want to give too much away, but I will say this: it is a Post Breaking Dawn, some characters might be a bit OOC, this is not meant to be taken seriously in any way because it is just for my enjoyment and yours, and finally, this might be a short story or it could turn into a novel-type thing if my mood doesn't get in the way.
Disclaimer: I own nothing that has anything to do with Twilight, that's all SM. ...but a girl can wish...

The Academy
Chapter 1: Why, Alice, Why?
"BELLA, YOU BETTER GET YOUR SORRY EXCUSE FOR A VAMPIRE ASS DOWN HERE IN THIRTY SECONDS OR I'M GONNA RAID YOUR CLOSET! THAT MEANS YOU, TOO, EDWARD!" Did I ever say that you do NOT want to get on Alice's bad side? Well, if I didn't I'm saying it now!
"Calm down, Alice. We're here already," Edward said as we ran down the stairs.
Alice hmph'ed, crossed her arms, and laid back against Jasper. She closed her eyes and Jasper started rubbing her shoulder, a clear sign that she was pissed.
Alice opened her eyes as Edward and I made our way to her and smiled. What the hell? Not two seconds ago she was ready to rip my head off and now she's smiling? I swear, this girl has ADD or something! (A/N: No offense to people who have ADD. My friend has ADD and she's AWESOME so it's clearly not an insult.)
"You look nice, Bella. Very... businesslike, cliche in a way," Alice complemented.
If my body was still capable of such a thing, I would have blushed. But this vampire life had given me control over how to control my emotions and facial expressions, so my face remained thoughtful. I smiled at Alice and said, "I do what I can with the uniform, Alice."
Yes, you heard... uhm... read right, I said uniforms. Technically this is all Alice's fault, but what can I do?
It all started two months ago in a day like any other...
Two Months Ago in the Cullen Household (A/N: Imagine that TV guy saying, you know the one I'm talking about ;).)
"... I say orange!" Emmett screamed.
"Orange?! You've got to be kidding me! It just HAS to be blue!" Jasper argued back.
"No way! Orange!" Emmett shouted.
"Blue!!" Okay, Jasper was getting angry now.
"Orange!!!"
"BLUE!!!!"
"ORANGE!!!!!"
"BLUUEEE!!!!!"
"OOORAAAAANGE!!!!!"
"BLUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"
"Why you little--" Emmett was interrupted be none other than Alice.
"I'm ba-ack!" she sang. She looked at her husband and brother's defensive crouches and raised an eyebrow. "What are you two fighting about now?" she asked, annoyance clear in her tone.
Emmett and Jasper looked at each other, confused. It took a while but finally Emmett just gave up. "I honestly can't remember. Can you Jaz?" Emmett asked.
"Can't remember anything besides the colors orange and blue."
Alice sighed and rolled her eyes. "Men," she muttered. "Alright, I'm calling a family meeting! To the Meeting Room!" Alice shouted.
Okay, honestly, we don't have a Meeting Room, it's just the dining room that Jacob and occasionally Nessie use. Everyone gathered around the table, each person with their respective spouse: Carlisle at the head of the table with Esme at his left side; Edward next to Esme and me next to him; Jasper, on Carlisle's right side, and Alice next to him; Jacob next to me and Nessie next to him (A/N: Yes, they're married, but I'll explain all the details later.); and Emmett next to Rosalie at the end of the table.
"Alright, Alice," Carlisle started, getting right down to business. "What is the news?"
Alice stood up. "Well, as you all know, we've spent four years here; all of us graduating high school and Carlisle finding a good medical stand-point. I think it's time we move on; people are starting to notice the age thing." Alice looked around the table as each of us nodded, acknowledging the fact she was right. "Good. Besides I already found this really great school and hospital for Carlisle!" And the gushing begins... now. "You guys will love it! The school is a little bigger than what we're used to, but it's great! It has a park, its own store, the forest surrounding the area! Its a private school, so its pretty secluded. And they have the cutest uniforms and these nice, large dormitories--"
"WHAT?!" Rosalie, Nessie, and I screamed simultaneously, cutting Alice off.
Alice looked at us, confused. "I don't get it," she muttered. "What's wrong?"
"WHAT'S WRONG?!" Rosalie shouted. "Alice, I mean, come on! Uniforms?! You know I like my clothes, why are you doing this Alice?"
"Now Rosalie," Alice scolded, "you know, I like my clothes, too, and you know I wouldn't even consider this school if it had ugly uniforms. You're just gonna have to deal with it!" Alice crossed her arms over her chest, a sign to say that you better shut up now or Alice was gonna rip your head off. Never bet against Alice.
"But Alice," I interjected. "It's not so much about the clothes that's bothering me." I heard Rosalie gasp in shock, but I ignored it. "There is that word you used. Dormitories? What is that supposed to mean?"
"Oh, silly Bella, I thought you would know," Alice chastised me. "It means we'll be living on-campus."
Nessie, Rosalie, and I glowered at Alice; our eyes wide with shock.
I couldn't believe it! Living on-campus? Where did this come from? The boys didn't even look unfazed.
Emmett shrugged. "Seems like something interesting to do. I'm up for it."
Edward nodded at my side. "Me, too."
Jasper nodded and shrugged. "Me, too, I guess."
"Whatever you guys agree on," Jacob said.
"It should be an interesting experience," Calisle added. "Something different than the normal arrangements."
Esme nodded at Carlisle's side. "It should be fun for you kids."
"Hah!" Alice cheered. "Majority rules! Sorry guys you'll just have to live with it."
I crossed my arms and glared at the table. In my peripheral vision I caught Nessie and Rosalie in similar positions, only they had their husbands comforting the--
Arms wrapped their way around my waist. Oops, spoke too soon. (A/N: In case you didn't get it: Bella was going to say that their husbands were comforting them and then Edward started comforting Bella....)
I sighed and asked the only logical question I could think of. "When?"
Alice laughed at my tone and expression. "Honestly, Bella, it won't be that bad. And if you must know: Two months..."
Present Day in the Cullen Household (A/N: Remember the TV announcer voice....)
"Is everyone packed?" Esme asked from the kitchen.
"Yes," everyone said.
I didn't have that much to pack anyway. It was just a good number of uniforms and some pants and shirts. Since we would be living on-campus, it was simple: Wear uniform Monday-Friday and wear whatever Alice tells me to on the weekends. Simple.
"Everyone knows the story, right?" Alice asked as we gathered our schedules and dorm/room numbers.
"Yes," Emmet groaned. Alice had always picked on him because a few years ago he totally messed the story up and it took weeks for people to believe us again on the original story. "You, Edward, and Nessie are Cullen; Edward and Nessie being twins. Jasper and Rosalie are Hale and twins. Bella and I are Swan. And Jacob is Black." He sighed, getting tired of repeating the same story over and over again. "Jasper, Rosalie, Jacob, and I are Juniors (A/N: That's third year for all of my over-seas readers.) and you, Edward, Bella, and Nessie are Sophomores (A/N: Second-year.)."
"Good," Alice complemented. "Now... to the cars!" She pointed her finger in the direction of the garage, took Jasper's waiting hand, and started walking toward the garage at a human pace.
Considering we would be living in the school, each couple had decided to take their own car. (A/N: Okay, I know squat about cars so I'm taking advantage of the fact that this is in the future and I can name cars whatever I want. Ha, ha, take that evil gas companies, these cars are electricity powered! I would have said solar powered, but remember there is no sun.) Jacob and Nessie took Jacob's black Turbo, a birthday present if you want to know. Alice and Jasper took Alice's Bolt. Rosalie and Emmett took Rosalie's red Jaguar. (A/N: I don't know if that's a real car symbol?) And Edward and I took our midnight blue Knight.
The car ride was silent and I took that time to reminisce in the past...
It had been seventy-five years since the Volturi visit, Renesmee's birth, and my becoming a vampire and I don't look a day over eighteen! After the Volturi fight, life had quieted down and seven years came and went. I'll spare you all the weird details of Renesmee's childhood and adolescence and jump into her final growing year. She grew out of her beautiful baby-face to the face of a strong and powerful young woman. Now one of the scary things for me and Edward as her parents were that her mind was advanced. Very advanced. She looked seventeen so she thought like a seventeen-year-old. I'm going to spare you all the gruesome details, but lets just say she wasn't a child when it came to Jacob.
They were dating and they were happy, meant to be. But I couldn't help but feel a bit saddened by the idea of my baby girl living her life to another while she was only seven. So it was a natural response that when Jacob came to ask for our blessing to propose and marry Nessie, I said no. Okay, it wasn't a firm no, I just asked for time. Edward, Jacob, and I agreed that he could propose to her, but he could only marry her when she was officially eighteen. And with that, he had our blessing.
Of course, Nessie said yes and the years were ticking down to her eighteenth birthday. Throughout the years, I had been able to take care of my "mom" moments that I wanted so when the day came for Edward to walk our little girl down the ail, there was a smile plastered over my face. However, I didn't realize Edward was not as willing to give our little girl away. When the time came for him to hand-off Renesmee to Jacob, he wouldn't let go! After a while, I had to stand up and take Edward away from our daughter. Let me tell you, Emmett had fun with that one!
But I think the hardest time for Edward was when Jacob and Nessie came home after their honeymoon. Their thoughts were so... so love filled, that Edward couldn't take it and they had to be under my shield for months!
"Love?" Edward's voice broke through my train of thought.
"Yes?" I asked, kind of embarrassed about being distracted.
"We're here," he said as he turned the car off.
Did I ever mention how much I love this man? I mean, who wouldn't? He's just so sweet and honest and selfless. Not to mention beautiful. Who cares about the getting to wear whatever you want when I get to see Edward in his uniform! It was custom, I guess, but no one would be able to pull it off except a family of inhumanly beautiful vampires. It was made of cotton and a deep midnight blue color; it was tux-ish with the jacket, tie, and white button-up shirt. I don't know how to describe it. (A/N: I do! You know how those Japanese uniforms in manga and anime are, right? Well, think of that for what they're wearing. And no, it isn't with shorts and high socks, that would just be gross! It kinda does look like a tux.)
"Did I mention you look beautiful in your uniform?" Edward whispered in my ear. Did his voice have to be so seductive?
I retained a shiver and looked down at myself. A plain white button-up tucked in with a too-short-for-school midnight blue skirt? (A/N: Again, Japanese manga/anime reference. You can add a little tie if it helps the imagination.) Alice had made me wear heels to add to my height, but other than that I looked a stereotypical version of a schoolgirl. I shrugged. "If you say so," I muttered.
Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered into my neck. "Like I've said many times before, you don't see yourself clearly for who you are." I held back a shiver as he kissed my neck and sighed contently.
We met up with the others at the entrance of our new school/home.
"Alright, then." Alice broke the silence. "That sign at the top of the school says 'Welcome to the Academy' so I say that we are welcomed. Here we come 'The Academy', here we come."
As Alice took the first steps toward our new school, I couldn't help but feel this was going to be different than the other high school experiences that I had gone through. That this might actually be fun.
But then again I've been wrong before...
I shook my head slightly to banish any bad thoughts and held my luggage closer to me as I took the first steps to what was sure to be something... different.
Well, there you go. My attempt to make a short story has begun. I hope you guys liked it and review. I can take flames if you want to give me some, but they do get me depressed so if you don't mind hurting my self-esteem, go ahead!
Okay, I can't come up with any place that doesn't have sunlight and I can't find a good enough name for a school so there are two options: 1.) You leave it as is and I have to name the town "City" or something along those lines or 2.) You could give me the name of a place and I'll place my story there. Whatever it is, know that this will NOT affect the story except for those details. I'll leave you to it.
And as always... REVIEW!!!
