Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews! I will try to work on my writing Stevie! Thnks for the pointers!

Bethany, thanks!

For al, of the rest of you, you will just have to wait and see what I have planned!

Disclaimer: I have come to a decision. I have accepted that Twilight does not belong to me but, luckily, I am a positive person. The voices have told me that if I was to do everything that they say Twilight will finally be mine! Mwah ha ha ha!

"Hey Jazz!" Emmett and I said simultaneously as our friend climbed into the back of my beautiful silver Volvo.

"Hey guys," he replied in a sullen tone. Me and Emmett looked at each other, and groaned. We hate the days when Jasper's upset, not because we care about him and can't stand to see our friend in pain, which is also true of course, but because whatever mood he's in always ends up rubbing off on everyone. I sighed. I guess we're going to have to fix it. I hate this part. I leaned over and switched off my music. Oh the things we do for those we love.

"So Jasper," I began glancing back at him, "What's up?" He stared out the window and shrugged his shoulders. Crap, this is going to be more difficult than I thought. "Rosalie annoying you again?" I tried. Please answer, please answer....

"Yeah," he said, finally making eye contact. Wow, that was exhausting! It almost took a full minute to find out what was wrong! But Jasper has never been one to bare his soul without a fight.

"Our cousin Bella has come to live with us for a while and I think Rose might try to bring her over to the dark side." Emmett and I flinched. Ouch. We all know what it's like to lose people to those..... things.

"Anyway we can help?" Emmett asked sympathetically.

"No, I pretty sure she's a goner, but if by some miracle she does leave their side for even a second, please try to save her!"

"Will do," we said, our voices completely serious. Hey, don't judge us! You don't know what they're like!

"Thanks," Jasper said as he relaxed and leaned back into his chair. "So, did you catch 'big bang theory' last night?"

(a.n/ If you haven't watched it shame on you!)

"Yes! It was hilar....." I blanked out as Emmett and Jasper to discuss the show. I wanted to join in but I just wasn't in the mood. Something felt wrong. I just couldn't shake off the feeling that things were about to change.

I'm exhausted! I had only been in the car with Alice for five minutes and she had already talked me to the brink of insanity!

Now that I think about though, I really should be listening. Time to tune myself back into the 'normal' world.

"..... and Tyler's got this new haircut, I mean if you can call it that. According to Tanya, who heard it from Lauren he has like completely shaven his head, I mean he is like so totally bald, isn't that just creepy?"

Wow. Alice can talk a lot.

"Yeah! What on earth was he thinking? I mean he really did need to get rid of the whole 'long hair' thing he had going, but shaving it all off? What a weirdo!" Rose replied. Huh, who knew that anyone actually cared about that sort of thing?

I sighed, preparing to sink back into my own little world when Alice suddenly seemed to remember I was there.

"Oh, sorry Bella! I forgot that you didn't know anyone here! That must have been pretty boring for you."

Why would it matter if I knew the people or not you idiot?! You were talking about their hair! Of course, Alice never needed to know that.

I shrugged, not really wanting to get my butt kicked by a 4"11 pixie.

"Relax," she said, apparently satisfied by my lack of an answer, "you'll settle in in no time! Just remember not to be yourself."

Oh those timeless words! Everything will turn out wonderfully if you just be you.... Wait a second! Remember not to be?!

Rosalie, realising that I was confused, swooped in to my rescue.

"Sorry Bella, but this is high school. You're old school in phoenix was so big that you probably managed to escape the natural order of things, but it's different here. If you want to survive you have change your identity, adapt to your surroundings, because if you don't, you end up like our brothers."

Ok, now I'm creeped out.

"What do you mean? 'Like our brothers'?" I asked.

"At the bottom!" Alice chirped in. "Anyone who tries to break the....... um...... I couldn't say status quo, could I Rose? That's probably too High School Musicalish, but you know what I mean! Anyone who tries to mess things up, end up at the bottom of the food chain! Our brothers are like antelope. We're lionesses, and you my friend have to potential to join us at the top."

Now I'm totally creeped out. What was with the animal metaphors?

"Soooooo," I said. "What if I don't want to be either? What if I want to be.... uhhhh.... an elephant or something?" Damn! They've got me doing it to!

They both laughed at me.

"Silly Bella!" Rosalie said. "You're so innocent! Trust me on this, you don't want to be an elephant. You may think that they are neutral territory but have you ever watched animal planet? The weakest members of the herd get cornered and destroyed, and when they all stampede..... let's just say that the antelopes won't be too fond of you either."

Okaaaaaay..... I am now actually shaking in my converse.

"Hakuna matata Bella!" Alice said, noticing my worried expression. "It'll all seem like second nature to you in a couple of days! Just stick with us and everything will be okay!"

I smiled, pretending that I was fine.

What kind of a jungle was I about to enter?
