Chapter 1: New Comers
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, and Twilight does not own me ;)
Hello readers!
I have a new story out as you can tell. I apologize to be starting a new one, since I have about five or seven others I still need to work on, but I wanted to get this idea down and started before I did anything else! Sometimes I accidently try to work other ideas into my current stories and that ends up just being a huge mess! My bad there. I hope you enjoy this story!

Nothing ever happens here. It's the town of boredom, they should add that onto the sign when entering Forks, just above the 'Welcome to Forks, population of 375! Enjoy the lameness!' I think it would fit well.
"Edward, dear?" Old lady Newton was talking me. She is the manager of the grocery store here, she has owned the place for god knows how long.
"Yes, Mrs. Newton?" I say, glancing at her once while I am packing cereals on the shelves.
"Dear would you mind running the cash register? There isn't anyone here at the moment but I need to take care of an order." She says rolling her eyes.
I laugh nodding. They always manage to back order every one of our orders without fail. Good thing Mrs. Newtown always orders them a week prior to when she needs the stuff.
I go up front, already bored out of my mind, at least while on the floor I can do something, here I have nothing to do at all.
The door chimes then, and someone one comes in signing. Weirdo, "I love you! A bushel and a peck! A bushel and a peck-"
"Bella!" I look up then to see the most beautiful girl I'd ever laid my eyes on with a little girl on her back. The little girl is whining but she is smiling, while, I assume, her big sister sings beautifully aloud some more. I can't bring myself to tell her to shut up.
"-And a hug around the neck" the girl, Bella, keeps singing hugging the little girls arms around her neck, "a hug around the neck and a barrel in a heap!-"
"Bella! You made your point!" The little girl moans loudly as Bella grabs a cart.
"A barrel and a heap! And I'm talking in my sleep-"And she swings the little girl around and into her arms hugging her, "-about you!" as she places her into the basket of the cart.
"Okay! Okay!" the little girl shouts.
Bella smiles wickedly then, "You surrender then?!"
The little girl huffs, "Yes."
"Say it then."
"No."
"Say it!"
"NO!"
"Sunday, Monday, happy days!-"
"Okay! Okay!" The little girl huffs and crosses her arms, "You are the master singer and dancer."
Bella jumps up and down, I have to control where my eyes wonder as she does that, "Yes! Victory is mine!" She turns and looks over at me smiling, "And there was someone to witness that! Tell my good sir! Did you hear what she said?!"
I cracked a smile, "I'm pretty sure everyone but China heard."
She laughed, "Aw darn, and here I thought I'd succeed." She proceed to pout. Then smiles, "Oh well as long as I have one witness to forever put Ronnie in shame," the little girl, Ronnie, sticks her tongue out at her while Bella blows her a kiss, then looks back at me, "Then I am good."
I tried to hide my smile. This girl is a riot.
"Okay Ronald Donald! Get your grocery list out." I look over at them confused as they both take out their own grocery lists.
"Did you grab mommies list, Bells?" Ronnie asked her.
Bella smiled down at her, "As a matter of fact-" She moved her hands around reached up then to the side, and slide her hand behind her sisters ear and pulled out a piece of paper, "I put it in a place that I knew was safe keeping."
Ronnie giggled! "Bella you have to teach me how you do that!"
She winked, "Magicians code." And they started off into the aisles. Though to say the least not quietly at all. Clearly she is her older sister. I wonder how much older.
About ten minutes later while I'm fixing up the front Mrs. Newton comes up to the front shaking her head smiling,
"I just met two of the sweetest girls just now, aw they are too precious." She said gushing, "Did you see them come in?" She doesn't wait for me to answer as she goes on, "Ronnie and Bella, they're sisters aw poor things just moved here with their mother. Apparently they just got here not more than twenty minutes ago with the moving truck!" She says shaking her head in astonishment. "Can you believe it? Brave young girls going on their own like that. In a place they've never been before? Bright, intelligent. They're mother is raising them right!" She nods at me.
Just then Bella and Ronnie came up to register, Bella smirk winking at Ms. Newton, "Are you gossiping about us already Mrs. Newton, we're here half an hour and already we're the talk of the town." Bella said smiling lovingly at Ronnie who just laughed.
Mrs. Newton laughs taking Bella's hand at the counter, "Oh I could never gossip about you two sweet girls, just spreading wonderful news that you two beautiful girls are going to be living in our small town."
Bella laughs, "Very nice save." She starts putting the stuff on the counter. Most of it consists of candy, ice cream, carbs, and meat, not even the healthy kind, like chicken nuggets and pepperoni and bologna. Damn! How the hell are these two so skinny?! This can't be what they eat all the time. They even have six frozen pizzas!
Mrs. Newton frowns at this, "Oh dear, were you not able to find the vegetables? You should of told me I would of grabbed them for you."
Ronnie giggles then, while Bella smiles bashfully, "Oh no, we saw them, we, uh, don't really eat any of that stuff. We survive on the main three food groups in our house-", Bella was cut off by Ronnie.
"Carbs, Meat, and sugar!" She says smiling, and Bella laughs nodding.
To say my eyes and Mrs. Newton's eyes are wide as quarters is an understatement. But Mrs. Newton smiled, "It is a good thing I live two doors down from you girls now, I will bring you over some dishes to put in the freezers and-" She leans over by the apples and oranges and some other fruit, "here, on the house to say welcome to Forks."
Bella looks shocked, "Oh Mrs. Newton, no we couldn't!" Her face becomes flushed, probably overwhelmed by Mrs. Newton's kindness. What she doesn't know is Mrs. Newton is only kind to a handful of people around here. Genuine people. If Mrs. Newton approves then they are true good seeds. Which means no fooling around with Bella over here. Fun.
Mrs. Newton smiles, "Oh pish posh, don't tell me no young lady! I want to do something nice for my neighbors and that's what I am going to do!" Bella smiled and gave in saying thank you, "Oh no need for those thanks needed sweetheart, you two a growing girls you need to eat healthy. Edward be a dear and start ringing them up." I hadn't realized I stopped and nodded continuing.
Bella smirks at me, "You wouldn't happen to be the famous allusive Edward Cullen would you?" I raise my eyebrows at her smirking right back.
"And if I am?" I say leaning forward a little towards her as Ronnie hands me the boxes of fruit rollups.
Ronnie holds onto the box looking me dead in the eye, "Well then you would be the woman eater, like Mrs. Stanley said." My eyes went wide once more and Bella broke out laughing.
"Ron! It was womanizer and it is not nice to call people names!" She said still giggling but trying to scold her but she was biting her lip from smiling, "We don't judge books by their covers or the labels they're given remember?" Mrs. Newton beams at the words Bella says to her little sister and look at me as if to say 'told ya so'.
Ronnie's face scrunched up looking over at me confused then looked back at Bella, "But Bella, Mrs. Stanley said we could trust her and you said grownups usually don't lie."
Bella looked like she was caught in between a rock and a hard place when Mrs. Newton came in to save her, "Ronnie dear, I am going to tell you something very important. Sometimes in life they're are people you can trust, and people you can't. And if you would like I can give a list of people in this town who are the ones who aren't liars." Ronnie nodded vigorously taking out a notepad and a pencil from Bella's bag. "But you have to promise, if I help you here, you will make sure to see if people are telling the truth on their own."
Ronnie looked slightly confused but she nodded her head anyway, "I promise Mrs. Newton."
Mrs. Newton smiled, "Okay. Here we go. Myself and my husband, Mr. and Mrs. Newton." Ronnie nodded writing it down, "And we live two doors down from you." Ronnie wrote that down too, "The Cullen family, which is Edwards family." Ronnie's eyes went wide looked at me then smiled so wide and wrote that down, "And they live six houses down from you to your right. Then you have Chief Swan who lives to the left of you guys."
Ronnie smiles, "We already have met Chief Swan! He asked us to call him Charlie."
Bella laughed, "Yeah he came over and helped us bring in our couch and right now he is helping mom to figure out the stove. We've never used on before." She smiled over at Mrs. Newton, "He had the same reaction to our grocery lists as you did."
Mrs. Newton laughed, "Oh Chief Swan is a good man, isn't he?" They nodded smiling, "Okay next is the Weber family who lie-" And she went on to tell them five over families which Ronnie wrote down each and every one of them and where they lived. This kid was too cute.
I smiled over at Bella who was smiling lovingly at her sister. Usually siblings with such an age difference don't get along. But seeing Bella and Ronnie, they act like they're siblings and friends.
Looking at Ronnie smiling she asked her, "And what is your last name dear?"
Ronnie looked up handing me the last things in the cart of sugary cereal boxes saying, "Dwyer."
Bella smiled nodding to Mrs. Newton, "Yup, that's us."
Mrs. Newton smiled, "Well then you have one more family to add to that list, the Dwyer family." Ronnie giggled at her, Mrs. Newton teasing her to write it down before she forgot.
After all the bags are back in the cart, Bella starts paying when Mrs. Newton asks, "Now where is your fa-" Bella's eyes went wide and she does the hand across the throat gesture, and Mrs. Newton sputters, "I mean where did you girls drive from? Far away or close?"
Ronnie smiles and says, "We came from Orlando, Florida." Looking at Bella to make sure she got the name right and Bella smiled nodding.
"Wow! That's a big climate change, do you guys like it here?" I asked Ronnie.
She beamed at me, excited I guess that I was paying attention "Yeah! It's so cool so far! But we didn't exactly come from Florida. We were only there three months, before that we were in New York, then before that Delaware and then Maine." Ronnie said nodding matter of fact-ly. "Right Bella?"
She smiled, "Right, and before that when this little one was born, we were in Indiana." Nodding messing up Ronnie's hair.
"Oh that is so good for you girls, traveling young. It is good to strength the mind!" Mrs. Newton said smiling. "Oh Edward help them bring out their bags."
I nod my head and Bella pulls Ronnie out of the cart, letting me push it over to their car. I help them load up, Bella puts Ronnie in her carseat.
Bella comes back over to help me, "So how old is Ronnie?" I ask her.
She looks up surprised, "She is turning 8 in a few weeks."
I smile at her, "Wow, I would think she is older, she seems so smart. What grade is she going into?"
Bella smiles nodding, "Yeah she is real smart kid. My mom always challenges our minds so it helps, she is actually going into the fourth grade, and she skipped two grades." Looking at me proud.
I laugh, "Wow! That is impressive." I look her up and down again and say, "And uh, how about you Bella how old are you?" She raises her eyebrow at me and I realize my mistake, "I mean shit don't ask a woman her age right, what grade are you going in?"
She laughs at my fidgeting. This never happens around other chicks, "I turn 17 in December, and I am going to be a senior."
I look at her surprised, "Wow looks like Ronnie takes after her older sister, that's impressive. I'm a senior as well. But I am already 18." Smirking at her.
Bella rolls her eyes at me, "Well what a coincidence." Laughing to herself.
"One last question before you hit the road?" I say as she closes the trunk. She rolls her eyes again but nods, "Where were you born?"
Bella looks at me surprised again "I have never met someone who asks the most randomness things." She says laughing, "I was born in Phoenix."
I smirk at her, "Well that makes sense," I look at her up and down once more. God she has a rocking body, "It is rather… hot there." I say winking at her.
She laughs, "Okay now Mr. Casanova save your lame pickup lines for another day." Bella continues to laugh over to the driver's side.
Anything to have her laugh. Her laugh is so beautiful. I head back inside smiling and laughing the whole way.
