Well, the results of the hottness contest is as follows (from my short conversation with Kute Anime Kitty) Edward is hotter then Sasuke (from Naruto), but Edward isn't as hot as Edward Elric (from Fullmetal Alchemist). Also, a fight between Edward and Edward would be awesome to see, yes, Alchemy versus Vampire... really, I think Envy should go against Edward so it'd be Humonculi vs Vampire, no humans in the mix, only immortals...

Haha, but still, I think Reno (from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children) is hotter then all of them, and Train Heartnet (from Black Cat) pwns all and is a total cutie . haha, I sound like a freak, don't I?

Her stiff body jolted slightly as she pushed it upwards. The blankets slid off of her head, revealing her disheveled self to the light. A blurry figure stood over her, silhouetted. She squinted, trying to see through her sleepy daze. Shifting, she blinked.

"Heh, good morning to you too" the silhouette mumbled, moving her legs slightly so he could sit down. "Edward?" she whispered, her voice hoarse and scratchy.

A nod and her vision slowly doubled. The two Edwards moved away from each other without actually moving. Seemingly floating, they came together to form one perfect god. The one before her.

His eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "How do you know my name?" She blinked in response, then gasped. "Ah, I'm so s--"

He cut her off, smirking. "It's fine, Alice told you, didn't she?"

Bella nodded, mouth now covered by his hand. His hand slowly dropped from her face, going to the food in his lap. Picking up some on the fork, he popped it into her mouth that was open in slight awe.

She gasped slightly, swallowing it without chewing.

"Good girl" he mumbled.

A bullet whizzed past Lauren's face, grazing her cheek. She gasped, flinching backwards as blood dripped from the small wound it caused. A man approached her and Eric, chuckling darkly.

"I am James of La Cosa Nostra"

They all froze as the sentence left his mouth. A woman with fiery red hair came up, latching herself upon his arm that wasn't holding the gun. A sinister sneer came upon her face, making Lauren scowl, despite her shaking. Eric's eyes darted continuously from the pair in front of them to the hole in the back of the truck.

Charlie fumbled with the magazine, loading his gun cautiously. He held it up quickly at eye level, hiding behind the corner of the truck. Looking with precision through the sights, he fired.

The sound of the safety clicking off, and the trigger being pulled resounded through the still, frantic air. This caught James's attention, causing him to turn to a now horror struck Charlie.

He stared wide eyed at the gun. 'The magazine' his voice was ragged, tearing at the walls of his mind. 'I loaded the magazine wrong'

It jammed.

His eyes darted up towards James to see him smirking.

A jammed gun... Timing is everything...
