A/N Hey Everyone!!! This is my first fanfic, so I hope you all enjoy it! I've seen a couple of stories with a similar plotline, but I came up with the idea before I found them. And I promise that it'll be different from any other one like it. It was inspired by one of my favorite Twilight quotes from Eclipse. You can probably all guess which one it is. Well, without further ado here's my story!!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight characters. They belong to the wonderfully amazing Stephenie Meyer. There. I admitted it. *Sigh*

Chapter 1: I Must Be Crazy

Bella's Point of View

"Bella! Bella!" Alice yelled from across the store. She ran over to me, at human speed, looking as if she was having trouble containing her excitement. "You have to try these on!" she squealed, shoving a handful of shirts and dresses in my face. I sighed, but took the pile of clothes and started walking towards the dressing rooms. Alice followed me, grabbing two pairs of jeans, a sparkly gold shirt, and a pair of brown sequin ballet flats on the way there. She ushered me into a dressing room and shut the door behind me. I heard her knock on the next door over.

"Nessie! I have another outfit for you!" Alice announced enthusiastically. In the room next to me, I heard Renesmee sigh. I couldn't help but smile. She hated playing Alice's dress up games just as much as I did.

"Aunt Alice…" Renesmee complained, "This must be the hundredth outfit you've made me try on today! Are we almost done? I want to eat!" Alice just walked away muttering something about how no one appreciated fashion anymore. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud, and I heard Renesmee giggling in the next room. Renesmee acted so much like me that we were practically twins. The only reason she had agreed to fo on this shopping trip was because she wanted a new wardrobe when we started school the next week. We were all going to start at Fairbanks High School the next Tuesday, and Renesmee was especially nervous. She wanted to make new friends, and she was afraid of not fitting in. It was her first time in high school, and although she appeared to be around seventeen years old, she was technically only nine. She had reached maturity two years back.

We had been moving around the past year, trying to decide on a place to settle down. We had to move from Forks because we were tired of having to avoid being in public because of our unchanging appearances and the fact that we were supposed to be in college. People had started to get suspicious of Carlisle's age when Renesmee turned five years old. He had started working out of state, but it was a bit of an inconvenience because of the long drive. When Renesmee had decided that she wanted to try to go to high school, we decided that it was time to move. We eventually chose Fairbanks because it was close to Tanya's family, and it was close enough to Forks that Renesmee, Edward, and I could visit Charlie on the weekends. Carlisle easily got a job at the local hospital, and we were set to start school at the beginning of September, which was now just a week away. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Rose's footsteps entering the dressing room.

"Bella? Nessie?" Rose called

"Yes?" We both answered at the same time. That sent us into a fit of giggles. I could sense Rosalie's eye roll. At first, our family thought it was cute when we did that, but after awhile, everyone just thought we were crazy.

"I convinced Alice to take a break," Rose informed us, "but she's not very happy about it. Nessie, would you like to go to the food court?"

"Finally! Someone who acknowledges my needs!" Renesmee exclaimed jokingly. Rosalie laughed. I smiled at Nessie as we both exited the dressing room.

"So Nessie," Rose asked, "What do your new outfits look like?" Renesmee smiled and went to hold Rose's hand, effectively showing her all of the outfits she'd tried on. And they started to leave the dressing room. I followed behind them, smiling at a sour-faced Alice, who was waiting impatiently in line to pay for our piles of clothes. She grimaced in my direction, but I just laughed and kept walking.

We walked to the food court, where Renesmee ordered a slice of pizza, a coke, and an ice cream cone. Renesmee preferred blood over human food, but if she had to eat human food, it was usually all junk. She had quite the sweet tooth. We sat down at a table at the edge of the food court, so we had a perfect view of everyone, while no one would pay attention to us. We sat there for a good half hour looking around the food court and trying to determine which humans in the crowd were going to be our future classmates.

"Look at that guy!" Renesmee exclaimed, "He's kinda cute."

I laughed. "Ness, you know you're father thinks your too young to be looking at guys. I don't mind, but be sure to watch your thoughts."

"Momma, he's so overprotective! It's completely unfair." Renesmee complained. She held my in hers, almost absentmindedly, and I could see in her thoughts that she blamed herself. She figured she had done something wrong and Edward thought she was irresponsible.

"Renesmee…" I whispered, "it's only because he loves you." Rose smiled at her, understanding where her thoughts were headed. Rose was very close to Renesmee, although their relationship could never match the one Ness and I have.

"If you think he's overprotective now," Rose began, "you should've seen him when your mother was still human. He was a big worried mess '24/7'" She added air quotes around the last part. Renesmee giggled. She had picked up that phrase a while back when she had gone to the park one day, and had added it to the end of every sentence for a whole week. Rose always teased her about it. Renesmee's train of thought changed as she began to think about what it had been like when I was still human, despite the fact that she had heard all of the stories so many times that she knew them by heart. She remembered then that she was holding my hand, and she silently begged me to tell her the stories again tonight. I smiled.

"Of course, Renesmee."

"Thank you momma." Renesmee smiled back. Rose looked at as questioningly, but before we could explain ourselves, we heard the sound of a fight stirring across the room from us.

"Why are you staring at them?" A girl of average height with short, blonde hair demanded of the boy sitting across the table from her. "Can't you pay attention to me? We're supposed to be on a date!"

"Huh? What were you saying Lindsay?" the boy in question shyly turned his attention back to the girl Lindsay when we caught him staring at us. I tried to tune them out after that. We hadn't even started school yet and we were already going to be a subject of gossip. Great. I hated the spotlight.

Rose just laughed at the two of them. They were such typical teenagers. In fact the girl was starting to remind me of a certain Lauren Mallory from Forks that I hadn't particularly liked. I would make sure to avoid her when school started. Renesmee just looked confused. Since she had never been to high school, she didn't really know what normal high school kids were like, especially considering the fact that the people she had grown up around couldn't exactly be considered "normal". Renesmee had grabbed Rose's hand to show her something, so I absentmindedly scanned the area.

Something, no someone, caught my eye. She looked vaguely familiar. Almost like a slightly older version of… no, that couldn't be right. The girl glanced at Rose and Renesmee, seeming a but shock. Then she looked me in the eye and glanced back towards the food court entrance, where I could hear Alice entering. She gasped as her eyes locked with mine again. We both stared for a minute until she broke our gaze and glanced around her, as if she was checking to see if anyone was watching her. I blinked quickly to make sure I wasn't dreaming, but in that brief second when my eyes were closed, she had… disappeared. I stared at the spot where she had vanished until I hear Alice approach the table.

"Sometimes walking at a human pace can be so infuriating! And all those people in the checkout lines can't just be prepared with their wallets open…" Alice began to complain.

"Shh!" I nearly yelled at her. She looked surprised. Ironically, she hadn't seen that one coming. "Did you see that girl? The one who disappeared?" Alice, Rose, and Nessie just stared at me like I was crazy. "She was there and then she was gone! She just disappeared! And she looked so much like…" I stopped there, realizing that Renesmee was starting to look worried.

"Momma, are you okay?" Nessie asked, as if she was concerned about my sanity.

"Alice, didn't you see that coming?" I asked of my nearly omniscient sister. I should have guessed that if she hadn't seen my sudden outburst, she wouldn't have seen the disappearing girl either.

"No, I was checking up on Jasper." She explained. "Bella, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I must have just been seeing things…" I said. I probably was just imagining things or hallucinating or something. It wasn't the first time I'd been delusional. But it had looked just… no, that's impossible. I must be crazy.
