AN: Sorry guys for the insanely late update. School goes back soon, so I've pretty much been catching up on my sleep. I had a massive writers block so I re-wrote the first chapter. Its quite different, but it'll make it a lot easier to write. Its pretty much the same plot. The second chapter will be up in the next few days hopefully. Please review and tell me if you liked this chapter or not, hopefully you will. It also makes a lot more sense. Ill have some images in my profile soon so you can put faces to the names. Thanks so much for the previous reviews, sorry I didnt reply to them but after this month I will start replying.

Enjoy!

Disclamer for the whole story: I DONT OWN TWILIGHT, sadly.

Chapter one

A simple Wish

What I'd give to be Bella. I envy her to the moon and back. For one, she's pretty, pretty enough to have Tyler, Mike and Eric chasing after her. Two, she has Edward, no explanation needed there. And three, she's a vampire, 19 forever. But unfortunately Twilight isn't real, and neither are vampires.

Bella, italian for beautiful. Claudia, pretty sure my name has nothing to do with beauty. A few people have told me im pretty, guess I just don't see myself clearly.

I live in Australia with my workaholic mother. My dad left us about 15 years ago, when I was 2 years old, and my older brother Tristan was 8. Dont get me wrong, I love my mum but I never get to see her, work is more important to her than spending time with me. As for my dad, I don't remember him at all, apparently he moved to America.

--------

Mum left to go to work early again this morning. Tristan woke me up, music blasting from his room. This was obviously going to be a normal Sunday for me. I scrambled out of bed, put my fluffy slippers on, and headed to the kitchen. The clock read 7:00, I badly needed a sleep in today, but thanks to Tristan I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. I sat down at the old kitchen table and had my coco pops, wondering what I'd do today. Deciding to have a much needed study day, I placed my dishes in the sink and headed back to my bedroom.

My desk was a mess as usual so I just threw everything on the floor. What did it matter, mum wouldn't make me clean it up. I grabbed my biology text book off the floor and started reading through what we were currently studying, trying to soak it all in for the test in 2 weeks. We were studying the human body, which honestly made me sick, ever since I was a little kid the body grossed me out, but mum still made me take biology.

"Tristan, turn your bloody music down", I yelled. It was getting hard to concentrate.

"Why?", he yelled back.

"I'm trying to study and I cant concentrate with your stupid music blaring in the background"

"Fineee, but you so owe me"

"I don't owe you anything", with that I got back to studying.

The functions of the kidney was really starting to make me queezy, I closed my book and went out for some fresh air. Jasper, my cat, came up to me as soon as I walked outside. I picked him up and went and sat down at the garden bench. Finished my studying for the day, I ducked inside and retrieved my Twilight book. My eyes started to droop as I lay on the bench reading my favourite chapter, finally my sleepiness took over.

"Claudia, dude why are you sleeping out here?"

Tristan was hovering over me as I lay on the bench. The sun had set and my book was laying in the dirt, adding to the damage already inflicted from reading it too much.

"Ohh crap, whats the time?", I asked back.

"6.30, and mum called, she's been held back in a meeting, so she wont be home until later"

"Wow what a surprise, she may aswell live there"

"Claud, you know mum trys her hardest, she only works this much for us"

"I'd much rather if she was actually home sometimes than have all this money"

"I know, I do too, but shes only doing what she feels best for us"

"Damn, why cant life be like a fairytale"

"Life wasn't meant to be a fairytale, we just have to try our best"

"Try our best at what Tristan?, going to school everyday and getting bitched about behind your back? Living everyday in the same routine? I just want something interesting to happen, a change in my sad, boring life."

"Claudia, I know your life isn't great at the moment, but it'll get better with time, I promise"

"Im 17 Tristan, and nothings improved for quite some time"

"I know, not much has improved for me either, life sucks; then you die"

"So true"

I slid down next to Tristan on the cold, fresh grass and starred up at the cloudless sky. All the stars were out tonight, it was quite stunning. I saw the southern cross glittering off at my left. It was hard to think how far away the stars really are.

"Look Claud", Tritan exclaimed quickly, as a bright shooting star shot across the dark sky.

"Make a wish", I replied.

We both closed our eyes and made a wish before the star vanished.

"See Claud, exciting things do happen"

"What did you wish for?"

"Cant tell you, it wont come true, everybody knows that"

With that we got up and watched TV together for a few hours. Mum came home at 10, only to say a quick hello and head straight to bed.

Tristan and I headed for bed shortly after. It took me quite a while to fall asleep, my head filled with thoughts about my conversation with Tristan, and hoping that my wish would come true.

--------

I woke up to Tristans rock music filling the whole house. Once again, I scrambled out of bed, put on my slippers and had a bowl of coco pops. The bus came in about 2 hours, so I fetched my towel and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

I placed my towel next to the sink and turned on the shower, giving the water time to heat up, before turning around to face the mirror.

WTF!!

Who was that?

I reached up and touched my face, the stranger in the mirror mimicking me exacly. My head started spinning and I started to feel queezy, and then everything started to blur.

--------

A warm grip was pulling my shoulders up off the ground and placing me up against the cupboard. I warily opened my eyes to see Tristan starring at me.

"Umm hi", he said.

"Tristan, what happened?"

"Uhh, how do you know my name?"

"What do you mean how do I know your name?"

"I mean, how do you know my name when Ive never seen you before?"

"Dont be stupid, of course you've seen me before"

"Who are you?"

"Stop being an idiot Tristan, it's not funny, now why am I on the bathroom floor?"

"I'm not sure, I just heard a bump, umm are you one of Claudia's friends?"

"I am Claudia, doofus"

"Sure you are, and you think I'm being stupid"

"Tristan, what the hell are you smoking?"

"OK, if you're really Claudia, prove it? And for your information, I quit smoking a month ago"

"Alright, Tinkerbell", this was Tristans nickname when he was toilet training, he refused to stand like a man. Plus nobody outside the family knew about it.

"Wha-, How-, Claud?"

"Of course, why on earth didn't you think it was me?"

"Uhh, you might want to look in the mirror"

Tristan helped me up and swung me around towards the mirror. I remembered now why I passed out. No wonder Tristan thought I was some random, this couldn't be me.

I was too shocked to speak. The girl starring back at me had dull brown eyes, long, wavy brown hair, a thin athletic body, and a completely different face to me. This girl looked so ordinary, yet pretty at the same time. I had short blonde hair, crystal blue eyes and a curvy body.

After staring at myself for what seemed like hours, it hit me like a brick.

"My wish", I murmured.

"Claudia, what wish?", Tristan asked frantically.

"Oh my god, the wish I made last night, how-, why didn't I realise this earli-", I was cut off my Tristan.

"What did you wish for Claudia?", again he asked frantically.

"I wished... I was Bella"

"Who's Bella"

"Bella Swan, Twilight Bella"

"Whats the heck's Twilight?"

I rushed back into my bedroom. My twilight books were gone, and my posters of Edward and Bella had vanished off the walls.

Tristan was close behind me, probably thinking I was insane.

"What happend to all my Twilight stuff?"

"Again, what's with this Twilight?"

"OK, so you don't know anything about a series of books called Twilight, about a girl called Bella and a vampire called Edward who fall in love, eventually getting married, having a kid, and then Bella becoming a vampire?"

"Slow down Claudia, I've got no idea what your talking about, I've never heard of Twilight...and I'd think it best you didnt go to school today, you know looking totally different, and going mad and all"

I slowly sat down on the bed and starred at the blank wall.

"Hey, if your wish came true maybe mine did too", Tristan raced back to his room with a smile on his face.

He gave an excited girly shreak before returning to my room with his wallet in hand.

"Wow thats some lucky star, take a look at this". He opened up his wallet revealing more money than I'd ever seen in my life.

"Great, now you've got enough to have me committed". There was heavy scarcasim in my voice.

"I don't think your'e going crazy, you don't joke around a lot either, seriously, you changed into a different person overnight, on the outside anyway, obviously anything's possible, I mean, take a look at my wallet".

He was right, obviously my wish came true. I was Bella. On the outside anyway, maybe I didnt change on the inside because my personality was already quite a bit like hers. Only instead of being content with being an outsider, I hated it.

The only thing was, if I was Bella, and Twilight was reality, why was I here? Shoudln't I be in Forks? And where was Edward?

Then again, I only wished to be Bella, not to have her life. Now Twilight dissappearing suddenly made sense, it wasnt just fiction anymore.

Maybe I had to make it all happen myself. Maybe I had to go to Forks. Maybe I still had to meet Edward. Which makes even more sense since I'm still human and not a vampire.

"Claudia?"

"Tristan, what are you planning to spend that money on?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't thought about it yet. Why?"

"Would you mind if I borrowed some?"

"Sure, how much do you need?, and no need to borrow it, your'e my sister, you can keep it"

"I need to leave. I need to fly to Seattle. I need to go to Forks. I need to see if the Cullens are real"

"Explain further?"

"Look, it's really complicated, but I really need to try this. I'll come home straightaway if it doesn't work out"

"Alright, I trust you. I may not have any idea what you're on about, but I know you're not crazy. Just be sure to keep in contact with me. I'll take care of mum"

"Thank you so much, Tristan, I really do owe you"

"Hey, you dont owe me anything, I'll always be there for you Claudia, and so will my money", we both laughed, I was going to miss his stupid jokes.
