Odds and Ends

These are just little ficlets and drabbles which don't merit posting individually, but which I'd like to share anyway.

I make no proprietary claim to Twilight or any of its characters. Just playing around.


Alice and Bella

"What did you first see," Bella asked, "When I came to Forks?"

They were spending the day together at Bella's house, just talking and watching movies like any two normal girls, and Bella was taking the opportunity to ask something she'd always wondered about. What future had been in store for her, and how had her future changed?

Alice grinned. "I saw a lot of things, Bella. The first was just a simple moment – you kissed Edward, and when you pulled away, I saw that you were a vampire. That's how I knew what you were meant for. But I saw other things. I saw this moment. I saw far into the future, saw us going to different places and schools…Edward's going to drag you to Harvard one day, you know."

Bella groaned. "Harvard? I can't handle Harvard."

Alice laughed. "You can when you don't need sleep and you've taken high school five times. Besides, I see you having the time of your life. You're majoring in literature."

"That does sound fun," she admitted.

"Oh!" Alice exclaimed. "We should watch Legally Blonde next!"

Bella rolled her eyes and groaned. "Alice, really, I thought you vampires had better taste."

"Legally Blonde is a cult classic!" Alice argued. "And it is a wonderful parody of American society."

Bella laughed. "Okay, whatever you say."
