Not All Things are Faerytales

Disclaimer: Gah, I hate these.. But I don't own Twilight. If I did, well… I'd be in it and the Cullens and the pack would get glomped many many times. And I don't own Naruto either, since I'd make it totally yaoi-ified XD

BTW: It's kinda slow at the start and a little weird, but.. The first fight (sucky-ish, sorry!) is in chapter three... It gets better from there on, IMO ;

Boxes. Boxes everywhere. The large, open house that is usually neatly chaotic is filled with boxes, all the large furniture being outside in moving vans. The crimson, mustard yellow and light green walls were bare of their normal pictures. In general, the house was filled with the chaos of moving day. In the middle of it all, two people stood looking around the house they were leaving, and most likely never going to see again. 15-year-old Maeda Miki ((A/N: She's Japanese, so last name first.)) was comforting her adopted mother, 26-year-old Magenta "Maggie" Brandon.

"Why oh why did Andy have to leave so early! Not even coming back for a few days to help us start moving!" Maggie said, exasperated.

"Mags—" Miki rolled her eyes.

"How many times have I told you to call me mom?" Maggie scolded.

Miki rolled her eyes again. "Fine, mom – you know I'm not comfortable calling you that, by the way – seriously, our neighbors are helping us move, remember? So we have help. And don't even start saying that Andy – fine, dad, don't like calling him that either – didn't take anything with, since he did pack the trailer with all his stuff, the fragile crap, game systems and our desktop computers."

Maggie sighed sadly. "But a four…"

"Four day drive if we stop a lot. I'm not in the mood to be a tourist for the next few days, since I kinda want to get to Forks and stay." Miki shifted her weight, silently wishing that her friends could come and wish her goodbye – her farewell party got interrupted by her friend Taz's mom going into labor, so everyone went to the hospital to see the baby.

Maggie looked up at the balcony and the new half-wall that replaced the old railing, then outside to the deck. "All the work we've done… Half-wall, painting the whole house, new deck, new kitchen, three new bathrooms out of four, wood floor, tile entry, new windows… All of it finally done, then just to get notice that we have to move. What the fuck is up with that?!"

"Duno." Miki shrugged, then left to go help move her books from the front room/library/her office. Maggie went to help move the stuff from the storage room in the basement.

"We have WAY too much crap…" Both women muttered.

By about 4PM, everything that was not being shipped over later was packed in the two moving vans and Maggie's silver minivan. The duo was saying goodbye and thank you for helping them pack, Miki sad that her friends were not able to show up.

She tuned the neighbors out and started thinking about the good times she's had with her group of friends in the two years since she had moved to Lake Orion. After a few minutes, her mind drifted to what Forks would be like, and then what her friends reactions to her moving there were.

"Forks? That's supposed to be an utensil, not a town…" Nicole had mused.

"Is there a Sporks too? If there is, I wanna move there!" Carson giggled. Toni rolled her eyes at her sisters weirdness.

"I saw it on The Weather Channel a few days ago… Which confused me, since isn't Port Angeles bigger than Forks?" Taz asked.

Miki nodded, then looked over at the drawing Lina, the reading Buck, and eating Sammi, Nicole and Tina. An announcement came over the PA in the commons ((A/N: The commons are the lunch room/ place to meet people before or after school or during passing time)), but the voices of the 500-odd students in D lunch drowned it out. "I can't believe it's the last day I'm going to be in Lake Orion…" She sighed sadly. "I'm going to miss everything…"

All of her friends stopped what they were doing, eating lunch for most of them, and looked at Miki as she said this. None of them were happy that one of the newest non-freshman addition to their group was sad. Just as Miki started to cry, everyone at the table, minus the guys, looked at each other, nodded, then got up and hugged Miki.

"Cheer up! We all have webcams now so we can still see each other and have virtual sleepovers and stuff!" Sammi grinned.

Miki laughed slightly. It was hard to stay sad when her friends, especially Sammi, were there. "True, so true. I think we should have our first virtual sleepover the day after I get there.. A week from today."

Miki was jolted out of her memories by her iPhone going off. Looking at the caller ID, she smiled seeing Taz's face on the screen.

"Hey T. What's up? Glad someone's calling me today!" Miki laughed.

She could hear Taz laughing too. "Yeah, sorry about that. We got a project in English that's due tomorrow, so we're all cramming. It sucks that we had to do it on your last day here, but oh well… We're almost done now."

"Tell Mr. Weber he's evil for me, will you?" Miki said, still smiling.

"But hey, go to the back of your house, under the deck." Taz said. Miki thought she heard other voices, but she couldn't be sure since she was around people.



"Why?"

"Just get back there." Taz said, then hung up. Miki sighed and put her iPone back in her pocket, excused herself from the house, then walked around to under the desk. She squealed when she saw all her good friends there.

"You guys! I thought you forgot about me!" Miki squealed.

Lina, the artist. Tina, the writer. Sammi, the peppy best friend. Nicole, the quiet bookworm. Buck, the fellow Gundam fam. Carson, the crazy anime fan. Toni, the music lover. And of course Taz, the best friend a girl could ever have.

"Like we'd do that to you!" Buck said, a huge grin across his face.

"Yeah, after your party got cut short, we owe you." Toni smiled.

"Sadly, we really do have that project, so we can't stay…" Taz sighed.

Lina nodded in the direction of the front yard, where the teens could hear the moving trucks starting. "Looks like you can't either…"

"But we just wanted to say goodbye to you in person." Nicole and Sammi nodded, as did everyone else.

Miki smiled, trying not to cry. When she heard Maggie call for her to go up front and get in the car, she frowned, and gave all her friends a huge hug. "I'll talk to you guys later… Maggie said we'd stop around 9 every day, so I can talk on IM after then. I just wish Jacob had been able to stay too…"

All of her friends smiled knowingly. Everyone but Jacob and Miki thought that Miki had a HUGE crush on the Quileute boy. Of course, if Miki knew what they thought, she would deny it – after all, it's not Jacob she has a crush on, it's one of his friends that she's talked to over MySpace.

A few minutes later, Miki and Maggie were leaving the neighborhood.

"It feels weird knowing this is the last time we're going to go this exact route…" Maggie sighed.

Miki nodded in agreement, already fiddling with the satellite radio. "I guess I should be listening to 96.3 or something, but oh well… That's what the cellular internet card is for."

Maggie laughed, "Yeah. That's true."

Four Days Later- June 12 2008

"Well, here we are! Forks, Washington." Maggie yawned. It was 11.30 at night, on their last day of travelling. "Five more minutes till the house.."

"Good, I don't want you to fall asleep…" Miki said. She yawned, then both of them laughed.



In a few minutes, the duo arrived at a average-sized Victorian-style house. Neither of them could see details in the dim light of the headlights, but they knew from Andrew that it was a little bit of a fixer-upper, especially on the outside- Andrew had worked on getting the main living areas (bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen) livable. The outdoor light had been left on, and as soon as the car had stopped, Andrew was outside and opening Maggie's door.

"Hey, Hey, Andy, wait to tell her hello until you get in your guys' room!" Miki laughed, then hugged him. "I'm going to go to my room and sleep.. PLEASE sleep tonight!"

Miki grabbed her overnight bag and her giant teddy bear, Zest, then walked inside. Okay. Tour later. Bed now. She thought, holding back a yawn. When she went upstairs, she walked into the room at the end of the hall in the corner of the house, and grinned. It was the room that had part of the tower in it, and her queen-sized canopy bed was up in the tower. The rest of the room had boxes and furniture scattered around, waiting for her to organize it. "I think I like this place already."

Okay, there might be some inconsistancies in this, but that's because I changed the guy and the time of year XP; So sorry if you get confused!

Reviews greatly welcomed :D

And please no flames? I'm just getting back into writing and I know it sucks and makes no sense sometimes, but that's just me and my thought process being written out…
