I do not own Twilight. I own Tiffani and Lexi.
Story Start
"Tiffani, slow down. What do you mean about a trip to go visit distant relatives?" Lexi asked through her cell phone.
"Mom just told me that I have a distant cousin, like I don't have a ton of those already that I don't know about, that is having some troubles and her dad wants me to go out there and cheer her up. I don't know how much I can cheer up a random relative that I don't know but I was wondering if you wanted to go too," Tiffani said using speakerphone on her cell phone as she packed some clothes into a suitcase. "We'll be staying there a few months and we'll have to go to the high school there if that is alright with your family," she said and laughed when she grabbed a rubber chicken. "I can find some reason to prank somebody with this," she thought and threw it into her carry-on bag of pranks. "Oh, I'm also going to see if I want to live out there after high school," she said and then grabbed her house shoes.
"Well this is out of nowhere, but I'm free for a while and I think it'd be fun to experience a new high school. I'll go but how much is the plane ticket?" Lexi asked already walking over to her closet and thinking of what to tell her family.
"Oh, don't worry about that. Isabella's dad already paid for two tickets because he thought my mom would want to come out there and visit for a while but she is too busy at work to go. I hope he can live with three women in his house though," Tiffani answered with a laugh and threw a blanket and small pillow in her carry-on bag.
"Sweet, well I'll let you talk to my mom while I pack because if I ask then I'm getting a definite no," Lexi said and then paused in her step. "Wait, when we will register for being a student at the high school there?" she asked and sat down on her bed again.
"Oh, I called Charlie before I called you and he is registering for both of us right now," Tiffani answered before checking on the status of her car, which was being shipped to Washington right now.
"You told him to register me when you didn't even know if I was going?" Lexi asked before shaking her head. "I'll let you talk to my mom. She seems to get a good laugh when you two talk," she said and she could just picture her friend pouting.
"Be nice," was all Lexi heard before she gave her mom the phone and rushed to her room to pack. She waited for a few minutes and smiled in relief when her mom said yes, which was only because Lexi would be living with Tiffani's relative and that relative was also the sheriff of the town.
"What is the town called?" Lexi asked her mom knowing that Tiffani would have told her.
"Forks," Lexi's mom answered and both women laughed. "You get to live in a town named after silverware," she said and helped Lexi pack her suitcase and carry-on bag.
"Tiffani will make as many jokes about that as she can," Lexi thought and she was correct because later that day she had to listen to Tiffani say jokes about the name of the town through the whole plane ride.
"Stop making jokes about Forks," Lexi said when the two exited the plane when they landed at the Seattle airport.
"You're just lucky that the county is not called Spoons," Tiffani smirked before the girls looked for a sign that said their first names.
"Hey, Uncle Charlie," Tiffani yelled when she saw a man wearing a sheriff's uniform. The man looked up and the girls walked in his direction while he threw away the sign. Lexi had wondered earlier how Tiffani would find the man, but Tiffani had let her know that Charlie had sent a picture of himself so she would know.
"Hey Tiffani, nice to meet you and it is nice to meet you too, Lexi," he said and went to shake their hands, but he was attacked by a hug from Tiffani and a wave from Lexi.
"You looked like you needed a hug," Tiffani said as explanation and the man gave a sigh before smiling.
"Thanks, well let's get your luggage and I can tell you girls about Bella, your cousin," Charlie said walking towards luggage pickup and said the last part to Tiffani.
"I bet it's about a boy," Lexi said and Tiffani rolled her eyes.
"Yay, drama," Tiffani muttered back so Charlie could not hear.
"It'll be worth it. We'll get to explore, drive new people crazy that do not know about our pranks, and you get a chance to take tons of pictures," Lexi said and a bright smile lit up her friend's face.
"Good thinking," her friend answered and the two grabbed their suitcases and carried them along with their carry-on bags to Charlie's police car.
"You're in the back," Lexi immediately said and a smirk lit up her friend's face.
"Can I wear the handcuffs?" Tiffani asked and Charlie started sputtering in shock before he laughed and shook his head.
"Maybe another time, but you will get to sit in the back," he said and laughed again when his niece dove into the car. He was surprised at how seventeen year olds that were in their last year of high school were acting. He thought back to his own daughter who was just a sophomore and he shook his head. "She needs to be like these two and just enjoy life and her friends," he thought before scowling when the image of that Cullen boy entered his mind.
"So what is going on with my cousin?" Tiffani asked later on down the road. It would take two hours to get to Forks, which still caused Tiffani to snicker whenever she heard someone say the name of the town.
"Well she was dating a Cullen boy, good family but I'm not on good terms with Edward, Bella's used to be boyfriend. She was head over heels for him in an obsessive way and he left her. She ran into the woods and we searched for her for hours before a friend found her. She had gotten sick out there and now she is catatonic. She stares out her bedroom window or just cries about Edward. She won't even talk to me," Charlie ranted and the girls let him. They knew he needed to get this out if it bothered him this much.
"I just want my little girl back," he said and took a few breaths to try to become calm.
"Well you might not like all my methods but I will definitely snap her out of her dependence on a butt hole and wake her up from her catatonic state," Tiffani said with a devious smirk that Charlie did not see because she flashed him a sweet caring smile when he looked at her. When he smiled and focused on the road, Tiffani smirked at Lexi and Lexi gave a cold shiver.
"This girl has no idea what is coming her way," she thought towards Bella.
The rest of the car ride was spent with Charlie explaining about Forks and how the girls can ride with Bella to school until Tiffani's car arrives. Lexi had not known that Tiffani had shipped her car but she was happy to hear it. Charlie talked about his love for fishing and Lexi was quick to ask if they could join him and his fishing friend one day. Charlie was ecstatic when he heard that. The last topic for discussion was about the Cullen family, who had disappeared shortly after Bella's boyfriend disappeared.
"Welcome to your temporary home for a while," he said when he pulled up into the driveway of a nice two story house. "I hope you girls don't mind but you will have to share a room," he said and the girls looked at each other.
"It's alright. The worst we can do is kill each other," Tiffani said with a shrug and Lexi just smiled at him when he was once again sputtering.
"If that's not allowed then I'll just go to the couch when we have our disputes," Tiffani said and laughed when he gave a relieved sigh.
"Well time to get settled and then I'll introduce you to Bella. Um, do you girls want to order a pizza?" he asked as he parked the car and they all got out grabbing the luggage.
"Cheese or pepperoni, please," Lexi said when they entered the house.
