Things That Might Have Happened

by pinfeather

A look at the many missed possibilities of the Twilight Saga. What if Bella spent more time with her human friends? What do vampires like the Cullens do with all of their free time? What if the people of Forks aren't as oblivious as they seem? What kinds of things does Edward keep in his backpack? What's the average rainfall of the Amazon basin?

3. If Bella Went on a Date with Mike Newton

Edward paced back and forth.

"Will you stop pacing?" said Rosalie, peering over the back of the couch at him. "It's getting really annoying."

Next to her, Emmett was playing Skyward Sword.

"I can't get her out of my mind," said Edward. "I must go to her! Heaven knows what that awful Mike Newton is planning!"

"I think he's planning to go on a date with Bella," said Alice.

"Yes, but he might order pizza! Pizza is not healthy for her!" In his frustration, Edward seized his hair and pulled. "And then . . . and then he might try to – hold her hand! Or worse! I have to stop him!"

He made a break for the door.

"Jasper," said Emmett, "sit on him."

Jasper tackled Edward six inches from the door and sat on him.

"Okay, I'm in the Silent Realm," said Emmett.

"Hurry up and find the tear," said Alice.

"Don't go near the water!" said Rosalie.

"Hurry up!" said Alice. "One of the glowing things is coming after you in - no no no, run!"

"AAAHHH!" said Rosalie. "Run! Run! Grab it! Why aren't you getting it?"

"Oh, come on!" yelled Alice. "Ten seconds!"

"Why isn't this remote working?" screamed Emmett, pounding buttons like mad.

"I don't know," said Rosalie, taking the remote from him and dangling it between two fingers. It sparked slightly. "Maybe because you smashed it."

"Here's another one," said Alice, opening the cabinet full of spare video game controllers. "Plug it in fast!"

"No one understands me," moaned Edward.
