As you notice, everything in this fanfic is derived from every scene that Kim has lines/appears in, so I apologize if you find it messy.
I've quiet adjusted to Edward, but the fingers still scare me.
Jim, my other friend, and I are walking down the street, looking at all the changes Edward has made in this town. You wouldn't see a single giant bush that isn't shaped up. "I think they look weird. They give me the creeps." And my friend agrees with me and says "You should see the clown in front of Mrs. Peter's yard." We look around, observing the newly designed bushes which makes our town look like a crazy museum of designed plants, and all of a sudden I hear someone say "Kim!" and it sounded like he was desperate for attention. I look at where the voice was coming from, and… it's Edward. "Oh no." , I said.
My friend says in shock "Is that him?" and in a teasingly way Jim says, "He's calling you, Kim." I get annoyed and I tell him to stop it. Edward looks at me his blank face. Then our neighbor, Margie, tells him "Edward! You forgot your cookies." He looks at Margie, but then looks back at me longing for an answer, longing for me to come to him. It seemed like those cookies didn't matter to him at all because I was there.
All of a sudden, Jim lifts me with his annoying ways pretending to go to Edward, and he shouts "Don't worry, Eddie. She's waiting for you!" I try to do something to make him stop it, but finally he puts me down and my friend says "Lets go!" I start walking, feeling awkward that Edward called me, and I feel him staring at me as I walk away.
Dinner time….
Tonight, we're having dinner with my Suzanne, Jim, my family…. And Edward. He's the one slicing food for us tonight. Mom says that Edward told her that he had lunch with Jackie today. Looks like someone's getting along with these people. I listen to Jim brag about his house (which I'm used to already), and at the same time I watch the way that Edward cuts the food, and I also eat. Edward offers the sliced steak to my friend, but she doesn't accept it because she thinks its "unsanitary" and Edward puts the piece of steak towards me, I accept it, but instead it lands on my lap… how clumsy can he get. I hear a laugh, and all I just want to do is to get rid of Edward.
A few days later….
Recently I've been seeing all the women in town with… unusual hairstyles. I even see dogs with also unusual grooms! Is this a new discovery of what Edward's "hands" could do?
I arrive at home, from school, and I say "I'm home!" I couldn't find mom, but I knew she'd be in her room and I went there, but I found mom on the phone and Edward sitting there beside her with his hair clipped up so it wouldn't go to his face. I think they were going to have those scar sessions again. I take a look again at mom and… what did she do with her hair? She also has that unusual hairstyle. I say "Hi!... What did you do with your hair?"
"Edward cut it, isn't it wild?"
Edward shapes bushes and trees, slices food, and now he cuts… hair? Actually if you come to think of it, Edward did add light and smiles to our town. It was all so quite before, no one really minded us, but now people are being more friendly to us… especially Edward. I think I've realized that he's been so nice to me, I didn't even notice. I have to make up for that. I'll start to try being nicer to him, and maybe we'll be friends in no time.
The next day…
Jim, my friends, and I just went out and now we're in the house. Jim and I walk towards the house, we try to open the door and… oh no. Its locked. I don't have the key.
"You got it?" says Jim.
"No… I can't believe this." I scan through my bag and I see Edward arriving from somewhere. Maybe he has the key. I ask Edward if he has the key and he says "No." Oh my, what're we going to do? I open my bag again and say "I could've sworn I placed it somewhere here." And Jim says " Well, we're stranded."
Surprisingly, Edward uses one of his fingers to unlock it, and after unlocking it, he looks at me and I say "Wow! Thanks." And I head towards my room with Jim following me.
The next day…
Well, Edward is getting local fame. He's been really helpful and kind. I'm starting to care for him, unlike before. So right now, Edward is on TV with mom and I'm watching with Jim and Kevin. He's finally wearing something that fits him. He has a poodle with well-groomed fur beside him (I suppose he was responsible for the way the fur was cut). I'm starting to realize that actually, the bushes that he shaped are amazing. I quite regret saying that they give me the creeps.
Its clear that the audience was pleased with his presence. Now it's the question and answer part of his guesting on this show.
"What's the best part of your new life here in town?" then he answers "The friends I've made." The interviewer asks for more questions, and the other question is "Have you ever thought of having corrective surgery or prosthetics? I know a doctor friend who could help you." And he says "I'd like to meet him." Another question is "But if you had hands you'd be like everyone else." His hands are what makes him unique, that's true. He replies "Yes, I know." He's not the kind of person who would talk a lot, I noticed that. And another one "Then no one would think you're special, like you wouldn't be on TV or anything." Edward keeps quite and my mom says "No matter what, Edward will always be special." And she gives Edward a re-assuring look.
Someone gives him a suggestion on starting a salon, and now comes a question I hoped they wouldn't ask. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Because of this question, Jim starts messing around again and says "Sure, he does. Right, kim?" and Kevin imitates him and they both stop laughing. I become stern and say "Now you got him started." Then Jim and Kevin have a short argument.
"How about it? Is there some special lady in your life?" then Edward stares in to the camera with his subtle and unexplainable eyes, as if he was really staring at me. My heart is beating so fast. Those jet black, longing, lonely, loving, and purely innocent eyes. I was dying to know what he was going to say. He was approaching the microphone and… all of a sudden it exploded because of his fingers. Oh no! I feel bad for him! Now Kevin & Jim are laughing at Edward. That is so mean.
"Why are you laughing? He got hurt!" is what I said, and Jim replies saying "It was just a little shock!" Just a little shock? He fell backwards! I wonder how Edward is right now. I hope he's okay. That question will always be in my mind, and forever I will be wondering if he was going to say that the "special lady in his life" was me, if its not too bold to think he was.
