A//N: Hi people. I've been thinking about this a bit, and although some of you disagreed with starting this story, most of you liked the idea, so here's the 1st chapter. Depending on the feedback, I may or may not continue.

Oh, there's a new character. I think… Yeah, there's a new charrie, called Melissa, shortened to Mel. Mel is a random girl at Bella's school who can't find anyone else to go with her to the stable. She's surprised/smug when Edward, Emmett, and Alice come with her and Bella.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bella sourly waited for the coach to tell the gym class to switch stations.

A tap on her shoulder made her turn to see who it was.

Mel looked down at her.

"Hi Bella. Um, I know that we don't know each other well, but how would you like to come to the stable with me and help me with a few of my horses?"

Bella blinked. It might be fun, and if she was careful, she shouldn't get hurt too badly. Although the downside was that she wouldn't see Edward for a few hours…

"Er, sure Mel, it will be fun. I'll drive by there after I drop my stuff off, ok?"

Eagerly, Mel nodded, happy that she had found someone who would come with her who could call 9-1-1 if her sweet horse just-so-happened to break her arm or foot or something.

-------------------After school, after tossing her junk on the table…-------------------------

"Where are you going?" Edward asked, springing up from beside the table, making the human trip over a chair.

"I have to go to that stable at the edge of Forks to help Mel." She replied, slipping on a pair of worn gym shoes after Edward put her back on her feet.

"I'm coming with you then." He announced.

Bella just shrugged. At least this way she had a better chance of not getting injured.

Twelve minutes later, they arrived at the stable. Bella looked around, wondering where the entrance to the barn was.

Edward started walking towards one of the doors, and Bella ran to catch up with him. As they stepped through the door, they were greeted by a whinny from a small grey horse next to the door.

Bella grinned and glanced down one of the aisles, looking for Mel.

"Over this way." Edward said, already having located the other human.

They walked down towards Mel, who was brushing down a medium sized grey mare in the crossties.

"Hi Bella, Edward. Thanks for coming. Um, do you want to brush Tizzarra?" Mel asked after blinking at Edward.

Bella shook her head and looked at the horses around the aisle.

Edward, however, picked up a brush.

Yahoo, Buck, Aly, Queen… Bella halted as she came to the stall that read Numinior. A bay gelding peered out at her. The horse put his nose over the door and sniffed her hands, before snorting, satisfied.

Bella let out a squeak, which made Edward glance quickly over at her, before smiling at the horse.

Hesitantly, she put a hand to the horse's face, and petted him.

"That's one of mine." Mel called, startling Bella.

"He's very pretty." She replied.

"Thanks! Nuninior's a big quarter horse; about 16.2hh."

"Is that big for a horse?" Bella asked, confused by what she meant by 'hands'.

"For a quarter horse, although some are a lot bigger. This grey mare right here, Tizzarra, is about 16hh, which is about average for her breed."

Bella nodded and went back to admiring Numinior.
