Ciao Normality
~Running Away~

Miranda followed behind her twin and Bella Swan, her mouth curled up into a frown. Her body and mind screamed that she needed to run. "You know full well that Bella Swan's personality is not the kind that you would want to deal with.. She is overly self centered and only thinks about herself, just as she is doing now. She doesn't care if the two of you get in trouble."

A soft drizzle began to fall upon the girls shoulders as they walked across the sidewalk. They stopped in front of the bus stop just before the rain begin to pour down outside the small unit. All three sat down on the bench, Bella Swan in the middle and Michele on the right with a huge smile upon her face. The younger twin opened her mouth to say something, only to find herself interrupted by her idol.

"Don't the two of you have a car?" Bella's eyelids were lowered in disdain.

"We're only fourteen! We don't even have a driver's license!" Miranda snapped the words out. She then turned to her younger twin. "Look, Michelle, we need to call mom and dad. They are going to be worried about us."

"We can't get to a pay phone." The younger twin spoke up, her eyes wide and her mouth still in a smile. "Plus, this is fun! We get to meet Bella Swan of all people!"

"Why exactly are you excited to meet me?" The older teen let out a deep sigh, leaning against the bench and sliding down.

"Because! I told you, there are four books written about you! There would have been five, but..." Michelle found herself quickly interrupted by the moody teen.

"You already told me that. I honestly find it hard to believe that there is an entire book series about me." Bella snorted air out of her nose. "Also, I have to wonder how I am going to get to Forks when I don't have a car to get there."

Miranda folded her arms across her chest. "If we had a car and let her drive herself to Forks, there is no chance of us getting the car back. It is bad enough we'll have to think of some way to explain this to our parents. There is no way they'll believe that Bella Swan showed up. Well, Michelle can tell them that Bella Swan showed up and I'll tell them I went with her because I didn't want her getting into trouble."

A bus suddenly pulled up and the door open. Bella stood up along with Michelle and got onto the bus, some of the water pouring down onto their shoulders. Miranda hurried after them. Michelle spoke up with a smile on her face. "How do we get to Forks?"

"Forks, what is Forks?" The man asked.

"It is a little town in Washington. I'm supposed to be going there to meet my dad. They're helping me." Bella stated.

"I see." The bus driver shook his head. "First, you'll have to go to the main bus terminal and then you'll have to get the bus to Seattle Washington. From there you can get one going to Forks Washington." The man continued. "This bus route doesn't connect with the main terminal." He then explained which routes to use to get to the main terminal. The girls went over to a section of seats after Michelle payed for their tickets out of their cash allowance.

Miranda found herself fuming about the situation. "There is no way we can afford tickets all the way to Forks let alone Seattle. Not to mention I don't understand why the bus driver didn't ask us more questions. I mean, we have no luggage and I would think that our behavior was suspicious. He seemed rather indifferent about the whole thing. And I thought everybody knew about the Twilight fad."

The rain continued to pour down outside and Miranda shivered as the top of her clothing was soaking wet. Her bra chafed against the top of her shoulders while her arms pulled close trying to warm up. "I want to believe that this is all just a dream. I mean, Bella Swan isn't a real person, so she shouldn't have popped up like that."

"I like, think it is so awesome that you get to be with your soul mate in the books and get to have your dream come true and the most awesome baby and the vampires are..." Michelle blurted out.

"Vampires? Are you really trying to pull my name now? Supernatural stuff doesn't exist." Bella grumbled at the two girls.

"How do you explain how you got from the plane ride to the movie theater." Miranda responded in like kind.

"I'm dreaming a very bad dream."

Miranda let out a sigh. "Shouldn't I be the one worried about bad dreams?"

"Well... I think like supernatural stuff exists because you did show up here, which means Edward exists." Michelle batted her eye. "He is so handsome. And..."

"Could you just shut up." Bella muttered. "I am not a very sociable person."

Miranda listened to her sister as she leaned over. "She isn't very much like the Bella Swan from the books. She's kind of mean."

The older twin rolled her eyes. "She is acting exactly like Bella Swan from the books. You don't realize that she is acting like Bella Swan because you only see the stuff you like in the books."

Eventually it came time to switch stops and the three teenagers got their clothes doused again. The only positive thing about what was going on was the fact Michelle had shut up when it came to the movie they had just watched. Normally her sister would be chatting her ear off about how amazing the movie was, but Bella Swan's comment had dampened her sister's spunk.

She could feel herself nodding off as the next bus traveled, despite the fact her body felt cold. Her head snapped up though when her sister tugged on her sleeve. "We're at that main thingy... thingy."

The girls got up and they went inside the building. Michelle walked up to the ticket kiosk. "I need three tickets to... what was it?"

"Seattle." Bella spoke up, letting out a sigh.

"One ticket from Los Angeles, California to Seattle, Washington will cost four-hundred and fifty-three dollars."

Michelle's face suddenly fell. "How about one ticket?"

"That would be one-hundred and fifty-one dollars."

"We don't have that kind of money."

"Hun... do your parents known where you are?" The woman sighed.

"Well... no."

"Are you running away?" The ticket woman asked.

"We just want to take a trip to Forks, Washington." Michelle frowned, her mood becoming more depressed then it had before.

"Forks, Washington? You mean that place in the Twilight books?"

"Yes! You know it!"

"I know that girls your age should get their parents permission before going on a trip." The woman stated.

Bella suddenly pushed forward. "But I do have my parents permission to go there! I am going to Forks Washington because I am going to live with my dad. I happen to have gotten off at the wrong stop."

"Next thing I know, you're going to tell me you're Bella Swan from the books." The woman shook her head. "What is it with girls not being able to tell reality from fiction? Now be gone with you. Call your real parents up to come and pick you girls up."

The fictional character suddenly stormed off to one of the benches. She folded her arms across her chest. "You've got to be kidding me. How did I end up in this mess? I mean... come on."

"We'll think of something." Michelle stated, a smile on her face.

"Well, you two had better. I honestly get the feeling I'm in this situation because of you two."
