Hey, guys! I got the next chapter up quicker than I expected. I love summer! So much more time to write! Lol.

Anyway, it came to my attention that I never mentioned that Bella is, in fact, a vampire. I'll get around to her story soon, hopefully the next chapter. Thanks!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Don't mention it, please... :(

Chapter 2: The Concert

BELLA

I stood behind stage with Kenzie and Joshua -our manager. "Are you girls ready?" Joshua asked. We nodded as if it were obvious. Joshua laughed. Kenzie looked at me.

"You sure?" she asked. "This is Port Angeles… awfully close to -"

"Yeah, Kenz, I know. Close to Forks. I'll be fine," I assured her, grateful for her sisterly concern. Mackenzie was always there. I appreciated it dearly.

"Come on!" Joshua called quietly. "Show time!" Mackenzie and I squealed softly, hurrying onto the stage.

"HEY, GUYS!" Kenzie hollered into her microphone, making us hiss slightly at the noise. Luckily, no humans could hear that. They just screamed out in an unintelligible mass. Nice. "HOW ARE YOU?! WE'RE SOOOO HAPPY TO BE HERE! SO CLOSE TO OUR LITTLE HOME TOWN OF FORKS!" The crowd screamed some more. Our golden eyes scanned the crowd, smiling at all the fans and signs.

"Well, if that's the case… let's get this show on the road!" I called, quieter than Kenzie had. She smirked at me, mouthing 'what, can't take the noise?'. "Onto our first new song of the night, 'Fearless'! I hope you guys enjoy this!"

I sang the first stanza, and Kenzie sang the second. We both sang the Chorus, right on time, never missing a beat. Both of us danced lightly around the stage throughout the song, as we did for most songs. Luckily, our mics allowed that, being chord-less and all. After 'Fearless' was over, we sang 'Last Words', 'Picture to Burn', 'Untouched', 'Over my Head', and 'White Horse' -a song that we never danced to. Actually, for that one, we either stood still, or sat down.

"Alright, now it's time for a few of the songs Izzy wrote all on her own," Kenzie said softly. She knew how much White Horse usually got to me. It reminded me all too much of Edward and I.

"Yay!" I squealed into the mic, jumping up from where I sat, trying to cheer the mood on stage. It worked; both the band and the audience laughed. "'Kay, this first song is called 'Heels over Head'" I knew that Johnny, our drummer, especially liked helping with this song. I nearly gasped when I met seven pairs of shimmering golden eyes, but I was a professional, so I managed to act like nothing was wrong.

"What's the next song, Iz?" Kenzie asked.

"Hmmm… how about we take a little break real quick?" I asked. She shrugged, and then turned back to her mic.

"We're going to take a little break real quick, and we'll be back soon!" Kenzie called into the mic, to a bunch of sad fans.

"Real quick!" I added. "Like, two minutes! You can count down for us, 'kay? 120 seconds, 119..." the crowd laughed, but kept track anyway.

"What's wrong?" Kenzie demanded.

"They're here! The Cullen's, Mac. They're here." besides the crowd's faithful '92, 91, 90...' all I heard was silence.

EDWARD

She knew we were here; during her last song, 'Heels over Head', she'd caught my eyes, as well as the eyes of my family. Oh, great. Yeah… we did say we were going to L.A, didn't we? I hated to think that one of her songs was based on us leaving, but it just seemed so… likely. Especially with the expression her face took when she sang about California bound, that time she caught our eyes.

Finally, after a little less than two minutes, the girls came back on stage. I guessed that she'd been telling Kenzie about us being here. "Okay, guys, great work! What are we at now?"

"28!" the crowd roared. 'Izzy' grinned.

"Sweet! We did good then, eh, Kenzie?" Kenzie grinned as well and nodded back. "Anywho… our next song is called 'Free to be me'!" My entire family laughed -hard- when she talked about being clumsy on her own.

"Next song, Iz?" Kenzie asked the mic.

"How about our last new song, 'Leave out all the rest', and then my last singly-written song, 'I'm only me when I'm with you'?" Kenzie grinned again, nodding.

"NIFTY! Wait… isn't that last one dedicated to someone?" Kenzie had a sly grin on her face. Izzy scowled. "you wouldn't dare!" she hissed, so low that only a vampire could hear her. Kenzie sighed. "Fine. Gosh, Iz, I was just joking!… BUT THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE!!!!! EEK!!!!" Izzy was currently glaring at Kenzie, before her expression became one of utter innocence.

"Why do you look so scared, sis?" she chirped. "Should I tell them who Ultimate is dedicated to?" The last part was, once again, at vampire speed. Through the entire next song, Kenzie was cautious, but during the last song, she was more at ease, sure that her 'sister' wouldn't try anything in front of the crowd. Well, until that line came… 'I'm only up when you're not down…' during that line, both crowd and Kenzie got a shock. Kenzie moved to step forward, and Izzy innocently stuck her heeled foot out - causing Kenzie to trip. Lucky her, Izzy caught her dress before she could fall completely, but it still phased her. Izzy, not the tiniest bit. She just kept singing perfectly throughout the entire song while Kenzie huffed and puffed for a moment. I never did understand how a vampire could be caught so off-guard.

Alice led us backstage, dancing with delight. We caught the last line of the 'sisters'' conversation. "IZZY!" Kenzie wailed. "What was that for?!"

"What? I'm only tryin' to let you know that what I feel is true…," 'Izzy' sang, skipping in circles while Kenzie followed her. My family laughed. The man who I guessed to be their manager coughed politely.

"Uhm, ladies… your backstage pass guests are here," he said slowly. They both stopped, turning to face us slowly.

"Oh…" Kenzie said. "Uhm… ok? Let them in, I guess?" Bella nodded, shrugging.

"Why not? I mean, they did pay for the backstage passes, to see our awesome selves, so why let them down? Right, Joshua?" Joshua shook his head, walking off, muttering something about 'oh, no, not full of themselves at all…' Jasper and Alice coughed to hide their laughter, but Emmett's loud guffaw was probably heard in Forks. Maybe even La Push.

"He's the one who's full of himself," Bella muttered under her breath. "He can't understand sarcasm, but he sure does seem to think that being our manager should reap him more benefits -and money- than we get," Kenzie nodded in total agreement.

"BELLA!" Alice cried, unable to take it any longer, rushing towards her. A loud crash, a small oof, and a little laughter later, the two were on the ground. "Oh, Bella, I missed you soooooo much!" Kenzie, snorting in the corner, was messing with her eye. Oh, yeah -they had both put in contacts. How else to explain the different colored eyes?

"Hey, Kenz, mind putting me back to normal?" Bella called. Kenzie nodded, turning to face her, and concentrated for a moment. Bella's brown hair darkened drastically to a inky black, and her brown eyes turned golden. Kenzie's eyes turned golden, as well, and her dark brown hair turned lighter, almost honey-brown. Both girls' skin turned into that same, vampire pale.

"That's not normal…," Rosalie muttered. "You have brown hair." Bella shook her head, gently trying to get up while not unlocking Alice's arms from her waist.

"Actually, somehow it darkened when I became a vampire," she muttered. "And trust me, I can see the doubt in your eyes - this is what I really look like. One of Kenzie's powers is to make you look like you did as a human… or what you look like as a vampire again," she added softly.

"Your hair shortened when you became a vampire, as well?" Rose asked. Bella shook her head.

"No. I cut it as a human." It was now about shoulder-length.

"One of Kenzie's powers?" Carlisle asked softly. Bella grinned, as did Kenzie.

"Kenzie has a lot of powers - she's as old as you are, and she's a sponge," she explained.

BELLA

I watched the various expressions in their eyes. "You look good, Bella," Alice said after a moment. I smiled at her.

"Thanks, Al," Alice smiled nostalgically at the nickname I'd given her so long ago. "You do, too… all of you do. No change in style, I see," Alice sighed, shaking her head while looking at Bella's outfit. Her eyes brightened.

"You have, though… are those high-heels? On Bella Swan?" I grinned.

"That's all Kenzie's doing! Granted, it's a lot easier as a vampire," I admitted. "Fashion is, too, I guess…" Alice nodded in a smug way. "Anyway… we need to get changed, Kenz, before they see us," Kenzie nodded, and we hurried to the bathroom. Kenzie tossed me a bag of clothes, and I grabbed it, hurrying into one of the extremely nice stalls.

I came out with a yellow bow in my straight black hair, a yellow dress with a black ribbon around the bust, black flats, yellow hoop earrings, and some black bracelets.

Kenzie came out a minute later in a black and white tube top, dark jeans, a red necklace, red shoes, and some black and silver bracelets. Nobody would recognize us. Alice smiled when she saw our outfits. "Not bad. Did you guys each choose your own?" we nodded. Alice grinned at me. "Wow," was all she had to say.

Joshua ran by us as we exited into the hallway. "Have you guys seen the Hansen twins?" he asked breathlessly. Kenzie and I shook our heads. We were used to this. "Hey- you guys look familiar… do I know you?" I flashed him a grin.

"No," Kenzie murmured, trying to act shy. "I don't think so,"

"Well, I mean, we just have those kind of faces… who are you exactly?" Joshua's eyes widened before narrowing in dislike.

"I'm the girls' manager!" he cried. "How do you not know?" I shrugged.

"We don't get out much, I guess,"

"I would guess so! What are your names?" Kenzie and I flashed a vampire-quick smile at each other before…

"Mac and Bee," Kenzie said 'shyly' at the same time I said;

"Cam and Eeb." he looked between us, confused.

"Excuse me?" Behind us, I could hear Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Edward snickering. I stood a little straighter. So immature… okay, it's true, compared to me and Mac, nobody's immature, but still…

"Cam and Eeb." Kenzie said at the same time I said;

"Mac and Bee." This only confused Joshua more.

"Cam and Bee?" he asked. I shook my head. "Mac and Eeb?" I shook my head again. "Oh, whatever, I give up…" with that, he walked off, muttering something about how he needed a good drink. Changing my voice to sound like 'Izzy' again, I called

"Bye, Joshua - and don't you dare drink!" Joshua spun around.

"Did you guys-? Did you just - ?" Mine and Kenzie's eyes were wide as we stared out the doors.

"Dude, that was Izzy and Kenzie Hansen!" I gasped.

"Yeah, I know! Cool! And we've got all the inside scoop - their manager drinks! Is that even legal?" I shook my head in fake innocence, and grabbed my phone out of my purse, pretending to eagerly text a friend. Joshua moaned, putting his head in his hands as he rushed past us to find the 'Hansen twins'.

"My friend Jessica says that to tell them hi!" I called after him.

"And my friend Hannah says to ask for their autograph and put it on TV just for her!" Kenzie added.

"Oh, shut up!" Joshua yelled back. The moment he was around the corner, we all burst out laughing.

"He's not going to hear the end of that one, is he?" Kenzie asked. I shook my head, my body shaking. The others were behind us rolling their eyes and laughing quietly at our childishness.

"Never!" I agreed, the two of us bumping fists. All was good.

What did you guys think? I think the last chapter flowed a bit better, but this one's okay, too. Longer. Too long? Nah. It's only 2,114 words. Not too terribly long.

Read and Review, please!

Thanks!
