Author's Note: Twilight, its characters and its plot do not belong to me. Only Anastasia does. Please like, and leave a review :-)

"I knew it! See, I told you guys that this would happen." Alice cried out happily as the rest of the Cullens watched in fascination at the interaction between their brother and Anastasia.

"Excuse me? Yours? I am nobody's property!" Ana stubbornly said as she crossed her arms and stared at the bronze-haired god like guy before her. Of course, she wasn't gonna let him know that.

The next thing she realized, she was in the arms of said guy and he was running through the forests.

"Hey, where are you taking me? Please put me down and take me back to school!" She said as she watched the scenery blur by them. He said nothing until they reached a cliff with a breath-taking view down below.

"Wow. This is amazing." Ana whispered to herself as she walked closer to edge to get a better view of things. A cold hand reached out and pulled her to a firm chest.

"That's as far as you can go, princess. I don't want you to hurt yourself." The guy said as he wrapped his arms around Ana and pulled her to his embrace.

"Uhm, not that I don't find you attractive and all but I don't even know you. Will you please let go of me?" Ana said as she tried to unwrap his arms that were around her. He didn't budge though so she just huffed in annoyance and pouted.

No one said anything for a while until Ana felt herself being turned to face the guy. She just stood there staring at the ground until she felt his cold hands lift her chin upwards to look him in the eye. She just stood still and didn't say a thing until the guy said one word.

"Remember."

All of a sudden, Ana closed her eyes as she felt like her head was about to burst as memories she knew weren't from this life, unlocked and invaded her mind. After a few moments, she opened her eyes and looked at the guy she now recognized.

"Xander? Is it really you?" She asked as she stepped closer and gently placed a hand on his cheek as if afraid he really wasn't there and was only a figment of her imagination. Xander just closed his eyes and felt her touch that he greatly missed.

"It's me princess. I've missed you. You don't know how long I have waited to find you again." He said as he pulled her closer to him and pressed his forehead against hers.

"I'm guessing your power worked, then? You really made my soul reincarnate?" Ana asked him in wonder and he just nodded.

"I have waited years for you to come back to me." He said as he kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes and replayed the new memories she just unlocked of her past life. Memories of being human, of Alexander, of the other Cullens, and of dying from a tragic accident before she could be changed into a vampire.

"I'm home." Was all she said as they basked in the moment of their reunion. A little while later, Ana stepped away from his arms and grinned.

"So that's why Emmett and Rosalie were so friendly towards me. And I heard Alice say she saw me coming back?" She said as she looked out towards the edge of the cliff again.

Alexander stepped beside her and nodded as he placed his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to his side. Ana poked his side and ducked from under his arms.

"You do know that this doesn't mean I'm automatically your girlfriend again, right?" She said with an innocent smile.

"What?"

WITH BELLA

Bella walked to the lunchroom and met up with Jessica and they fell in line and grabbed their food. Mike joined them as they made their way to a table.

"Hey, Mikey. You met my home girl, Bella?" Eric asked as he put his arm around her when she sat down.

"Your home girl?" Mike replied as if in unbelief to what Eric told him.

"Yeah." Eric confirmed.

"That's my girl." Was all Bella heard before she felt someone kiss her cheek and Mike's chair get pulled which caused him to fall to the floor.

"Sorry I had to mess up your game, Mike." That person said as Mike gave chase to him around the cafeteria.

"Tyler." Eric said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, my God. It's like first Grade all over again. You're the shiny new toy." Jessica stated with underlying jealousy in her tone.

"Smile." Another girl said as she took a photo of an unsuspecting Bella.

"Okay." Bella awkwardly said as she looked down, shocked by the bright flash.

"Sorry. I needed a candid for the feature. Do you know where your sister is?" She stated as she took a seat at the table.

"The feature's dead, Angela. Don't bring it up again." Eric told Angela in a scolding manner.

"It's okay, I just…" Bella tried to say to avoid making Angela feel bad.

"I got your back, baby." Eric patted her shoulder as he walked to where Mike and Tyler were.

"Guess we'll just run another editorial on teen drinking." Angela said sadly.

"You know, my sister was on the school paper once. She gave me lots of ideas. You can always go for eating disorders or speedo padding on the swim team." Bella told her to make her feel better.

"Actually, that's a good one." Angela commented on the last idea.

"Kirk. Right? That's exactly what I thought." Jessica added her two cents in.

However, Bella zoomed out that moment as some figures from outside the window caught her attention.

"Who are they?" She asked the two girls who looked back to see who she was talking about.

"The Cullens." Angela replied first.

"They're Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. They moved down here from Alaska, like, a few years ago." Jessica added in a low voice.

"They kind of keep to themselves." Angela informed.

"Yeah, 'cause they're all together. Like, together, together." Jessica said, scandalously.

"The blonde girl, that's Rosalie, and the big dark-haired guy, Emmett, they're, like, a thing. I'm not even sure that's legal." Jessica was obviously one of the gossip-girls of the school.

"Jess, they're not actually related." Angela defended them.

"Yeah, but they live together. It's weird." Jess contradicted before she continued.

"And, okay, the little dark-haired girl's Alice. She's really weird, and she's with Jasper, the blonde one who looks like he's in pain." She pointed out the other two people who were currently walking to a table in the corner of the cafeteria.

"Dr. Cullen's like this foster dad/matchmaker." Jess stated with a smile.

"Maybe he'll adopt me." Angela jokingly said but Bella's eyes were on another figure who just entered the room.

"Who's he?" She asked them as she stared at the god-like figure looking so mysterious and cool.

"That's Edward Cullen. He's totally gorgeous, obviously, but apparently, nobody here's good enough for him. Like I care, you know?" She said but it sounded as if she was a bit bitter towards him.

"So, yeah. Seriously, like, don't waste your time." Jessica said as she saw Bella still looking towards the Cullen's table.

"I wasn't planning on it." Bella said as she looked back towards her table and laughed awkwardly. The group just sat there eating until 10 minutes later, the door the Cullens came through opened once more and Ana entered and skipped her way to Bella's table.

"Hey, Bells. Hey, Bella's friends. I don't think we've officially met. I'm Anastasia but you can call me Ana." She said with a friendly smile to the two girls seated with her sister.

"Hey, Ana. I'm Angela and this is Jessica. You're welcome to join us if you want." Angela politely informed her as Jessica stared at Ana's midnight blue hair which fell down her back in beautiful waves.

"Sorry, ladies, but she already promised she's sit with my siblings and I." A voice said from behind Ana and Xander stepped forward beside Ana.

"Bells, this is Alexander Cullen. Xander, this is Isabella Swan, my twin sister." Ana introduced the two of them to each other.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Isabella." Alex nodded in her direction.

"Just Bella. It's nice to meet you too." She replied.

"Now, if you all would excuse us, I need to make sure she gets to eat her lunch. Ladies." Alex said as he led Ana away from them and to the Cullen table.

The three girls watched as Alexander pulled out a chair for Ana before sitting down close to her as Rosalie handed her a tray full of food.

"Oh, my gosh! How does your sister know the Cullens?!" Jessica excitedly whispered as they watched the table with interest. Jasper and Alice were in their own little world, Rosalie and Emmett were talking about something while playing with an apple, Alexander was talking to Ana who answered after she finished chewing her food and Edward was brooding until his and Bella's eyes met. He looked confused for a moment before Ana playfully hit him at the shoulder which shook him out of his mood and prompted him to join their conversation.

"Your sister is one lucky girl." Jessica commented and somehow, Bella couldn't help but agree.

- TIMESKIP: (BIOLOGY LAB) -

Bella was laughing and smiling with Mike as she entered the Biology classroom.

"Oh, yes. The other Miss Swan." Mr. Molina said as read the seating chart to know where Bella should sit. Bella looked around the classroom and saw Ana sitting beside Alexander near the back. They were playing the hand slapping game. Her eyes roamed once more before they landed on Edward at the exact time the fan blew in his direction and he went rigidly still while covering his nose and mouth like he just smelt a foul odor and was trying not to throw up.

"Hi. Can I have the pass? Thank you. Welcome to the class. Here's your stuff, okay? And I got a seat for you right here, so come on over. Just follow along till you catch up." Mr. Molina instructed as he gave Bella her books and materials and pointed her to the seat beside Edward.

Bella pulled the chair as close to the edge and farther away from Edward as possible because she didn't know why he was so disgusted by her. Mr. Molina placed a petri dish in front of them and Edward pushed one over to her trying hard not to drain her dry in front of the entire class. Bella, still feeling conscious, tried to smell her clothes to see if she smelt bad but found no unusual smell. She looked at Edward who looked back with dark eyes as he started to glare at her the whole period.

MEANWHILE WITH ANA

Ana was watching the whole exchange from her seat two rows behind Bella. Her brows furrowed as she watched Edward glare at her poor unsuspecting sister.

"Uhm, what the hell is Eddie doing, glaring at my sister like that?" She asked Alexander, starting to get protective of Bella.

Xander looked at them and immediately knew what was wrong.

"Uh oh. It looks like my brother found his singer." He told her as he carefully assessed the situation on whether to get Edward out of there or not.

"You mean, he's trying hard not to kill her right now?" Ana asked alarmed as she started to think of ways to get Bella away from harm.

"Don't worry. He's got it in control for now." Alex told her with a smile which did nothing to calm the nerves in Ana.

"For now? What about for later? This is not good, not good at all." She said as she continued to watch them all throughout the class.

It was two seconds before the bell rang when Edward stood up and started to make his way out the classroom, leaving Bella there. Ana decided to approach her sister.

"I'm gonna go make sure he's okay." Xander told her and she nodded as she made her way to Bella's table.

"Hey, Bells. Are you okay?" She asked just to make sure.

"I'm fine." Bella replied in her usual way and Ana just nodded.

"I'll see you outside the office after last period, okay?" Ana told her and Bella just nodded as they made their way out of the classroom and went their separate ways.

- TIMESKIP (AFTER LAST PERIOD) -

Bella made her way to the Administrative Office and saw Ana already there waiting for her with Alexander. Ana saw her sister and beckoned her to hurry and enter the office already. Once they did, they saw Edward talking to the secretary.

"There must be something open. Physics? Biochem?" He sopek, apparently trying to get his schedule changed.

"No, every class is full. Just a minute, dears." The secretary replied as she looked at where Ana and Bella were standing by the door.

"I'm afraid you'll have to stay in Biology." Were her last words to him.

"Fine. Just… I'll just have to endure it. Anastasia." He stated and nodded to Ana as he walked out.

Bella was hurt and humiliated that he tried to transfer classes just because he was disgusted by her. Was it her smell? Was it her voice? Was it her face? So many questions she had no answers to and she willed herself not to get emotional in public. Both girls approached the secretary as she called them over.

"How did your first days go, dears?" She asked with a smile.

"It was fun!" Ana replied with a cheerful smile.

"Fine." Bella lied, her voice weak. It really was anything but fine.

Once they gave their passes with their teacher's signatures on them, they were free to go. The twins walked out of school together.

"Don't forget, we're having dinner with dad at Carver's Café, Bells." Ana reminded her sister who looked like her mind was someplace else.

"Yeah, I remembered." Bella replied as they both got into the truck and Bella drove them both to the diner.

Once they got there, they saw Charlie seated in a table by the window. They took their seats beside him.

"I hope you don't mind, but, I already ordered for you guys. A garden burger for you, Bells and a steak for you, Annie." Their dad informed them after they said their hellos.

"Thanks dad. You always seem to know exactly what I want." Ana said with a grin and Bella just smiled half-heartedly while echoing her sister's thanks.

Pretty soon, the waitress came over with their food. Cora was a pretty African-American woman who was one of dad's friends in Forks.

"I still can't get over how grown up you girls are. And, so gorgeous." Cora stated as she placed their orders down in front of them. The twins just smiled politely at her. While a man came over to their table.

"Hey Ana, hey Bella. You remember me?" He asked them as if they should remember who he was.

Bella just looked towards Charlie as if asking him to help her remember while Ana was trying to rack her memories to put a name to the familiar man.

"I played Santa one year." He added helpfully as both girls tried to recall.

"Yeah, Waylon, Bella hasn't had a Christmas here since she was four." Charlie said while looking at Bella.

"I bet I made an impression though, didn't I?" He asked both girls.

"I doubt Bella remembers, but I do. You're butt-crack Santa!" Ana happily said which earned a laugh from the adults.

"Hey, kids love those little bottles though." Waylon stated before Cora intervened.

"All right, let the girls eat their food, Waylon. As soon as you girls are done, I will bring each of you your favorite. Berry cobbler for Bella, and oreo cheesecake for Ana, remember? Your dad still has berry cobbler every Thursday and oreo cheesecake every Friday." She said with an excited smile.

"Thank you. That'd be great." Bella smiled at the thought of her favorite dessert and Ana just started eating faster.

Bella and Charlie started reaching for the condiments at the same time.

"Here." Charlie said while handing his daughter the ketchup and picking up the sauce for the steak.

"Thanks." Bella replied awkwardly and Ana just shook her head at the two interacting.

- TIMESKIP (AT HOME) -

Bella and Ana were talking to their mom over the phone on loudspeaker.

"Hey, babies. So, listen, if spring training goes well, we could be moving to Florida." Renee informed her two daughters.

"Please insert $1.25 for an additional three minutes." A voice spoke over the phone, it made Ana laugh out loud.

"Mom, where's your cell?" She asked as she controlled her laughter.

"Okay, I didn't lose my power cord. It ran away. Screaming. I literally repel technology now." Their mom explained, a bit embarrassed as the girls just shook their heads amusedly.

"We miss you." Bella told her.

"Oh, babies, I miss you girls, too. But tell me more about your school. Now, what are the kids like? Are there any cute guys? Are they being nice to you?" Renee fired off questions.

"Well, they're all very welcoming. And Ana seems to have caught a guy's attention. I mean, they were pretty close." Bella said and teased her sister a bit.

"Annie! Tell me about it." Renee said, wanting to know all the details.

"Mom, he was a pen pal before Bells and I moved here and it was the first time we saw each other." Ana defended as she blushed a little, thinking of Alexander.

"What about you, Bells?" Renee asked her other daughter to share.

"It doesn't even matter." Bella said dismissively.

"Yes, it does, honey." Renee countered.

"We have homework to do. We'll talk to you later." Bella replied, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

"Okay, I love you." Renee said.

"We love you too, mama." Ana stated as they said their goodbyes before hanging up. She turned to her sister.

"So, Edward Cullen has your panties in a twist, huh?" She asked.

"That's not… I didn't even… I just… I swear, I just wanna know what his problem was, glaring at me like he was angry about something I did and looking like he smelt something repulsive when I sat by him." Bella said exasperated as she couldn't get Edward's glaring face out of her mind.

"Boys are confusing, I know." Ana nodded, agreeing with her sister.

"What about you, huh? I never heard you talking about being pen pals with anyone up until now. Care to explain?" Bella asked Ana who only smiled at her.

"It's embarrassing, okay. Over the past year, I kind of started liking the guy and I couldn't tell you because we've never seen what the other looks like and he could have been a 30-year old man for all I knew." Ana said, reciting the lie that both she and Alexander came up with.

Bella just nodded in understanding before sighing and falling back down in bed, still thinking about the day's events.

"Can't get it out of your mind, huh? Well, you could always ask him about it next time you see him." Ana tried giving her sister advice.

"You know, I may be older but you definitely are wiser." Bella told her as she sat up again to which Ana replied by sticking her tongue out.

"Well, I do have homework to finish, and so do you. So, I'll leave you alone so you can concentrate." Ana said as she made her way out the door of Bella's room.

"Good night, Annie." Bella said as she watched her sister stand by the doorway.

"Good night, Bells. Sleep tight." Ana said as she blew her sister a kiss before stepping out and closing the door behind her.

Bella sighed as she continued doing her homework and tried to think of what to say to Edward Cullen.
