This is my first Twilight fanfiction piece, but I had this idea awhile ago and I can't seem to let it go, so I figured I'd write it down. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. Too bad, huh?

Chapter 1 – You've got to Be Kidding Me?! (BPOV)

"They want me to do what?!" I screeched.

"You've become so popular with your books, they felt that you would be a good choice," Angela responded simply.

"But, haven't they seen me when I'm in public? I can't walk in a straight line without tripping over my own feet! How could they think that I would ever be a good choice for this?" I continued.

"Bella, come on! This is such a great opportunity for you and your books. Think of all the people who may never have heard of you who will now get the chance because of this. Besides, you really need to live a little."

"Hey, I live plenty, thank you very much."

"Yeah, inside that head of yours. The only time I really see you come alive is when you are writing your stories and that's only because you are living them through your characters in their world. You need to come back to your world and really live."

I knew Angela was right. It's sad, but very true. I get so absorbed into writing that I really think those things are happening and that my real life was the fictitious one. I wish it were that way. In my head, even the plain girls, like myself, can get noticed by gods and can find love. Too bad that it really did only happen in books.

"Besides," Angela continued. "Think of all the new people you'll get the chance to meet. It's such an interesting collaboration of personalities and professions."

"Oh yeah, like who?" Now, I was actually curious who else would do this.

"Well, they didn't tell me names, because like you, they are still trying to get confirmations, but they did tell me that they have asked a pro football player, a race car driver, some software and computer tycoon and some kind of reporter. Just think Bella. Where else will you get to meet such a wide range of people?!"

"A place where we can all make fools of ourselves, that's where!" I retorted.

If I was being honest with myself, I knew Angela would break me down and make me do this. She was a good assistant. She made even the worst situations seem like wine and roses. That's why I kept her around. That, and because we had been friends forever. We had met and gone to school together long before I made the best seller list.

Right now, I wanted to be stubborn and tell her no, but I knew that look in her eyes. She knew she was winning, and she was. I was intrigued now, and even though I knew this could be more detrimental to my body or someone else's body more than my reputation and career, I had a feeling a wouldn't be able to say no to Angela.

"Please, Bella. I really think this will be good for you," Angela spoke sincerely.

"Ugh, alright. You know I can't say no to you," I said with a smile, but deep down I was cringing.

"This is so wonderful! I think you're going to be great! And besides, you never know what can happen. You may even be able to use this experience for one of your future books!"

She walked away extremely pleased with herself, and I guess me as well for being able to put myself out on a limb to do this. I heard her begin to talk on her cell phone. Crap! I guess it really is happening.

I, Isabella Swan, will be one of the new contestants on Dancing with the Stars.

Oh, Lord, what have I gotten myself into?!
