A/N:
Friday again! And we need to find out what will happen with Bella's reaction!
Most of you understood she got a whiff of Edward's scent while some of you thought they were at school and she heard a thought.
To clarify, they're still standing outside the Swan house here :) They'll get to school in time ;-)

Summary: Freaky Friday with a Twilight Twist. New Moon AU.
As much as Bella and Edward love each other, they can't possibly understand what the other's life is like.
On Bella's 18th birthday, instead of a paper cut, a switch is about to make Forks even weirder.
How will Bella cope with suddenly being a 104-year-old mind-reading vampire in love with her singer? And how will Edward cope with being a human in love with a vampire?

Chapter 10
The outside air had diluted his scent until the moment Bella stepped closer, and when it hit her, she didn't know what to do except lock every muscle into place and refuse to move another inch.
It was deliciously sweet, and her senses were immediately flooded with an all-consuming need to taste it again because her tongue remembered it from months before when it had been Edward broken almost beyond repair on the floor in that Phoenix dance studio. How blissful his blood on her tongue had made her feel.
A tucked away memory burst forth and she saw their disastrous first meeting from a predator's perspective as opposed to when she'd been the prey without truly knowing it.
It had been a perilously close call.
"Bella?"
Edward's voice sounded far away, but she still gravitated toward it and looked at him. He was doing his best to hide his neck as he carefully attempted to bring her back.
"I know it's hard to focus right now, but you have my memories, so you know how to fight it," he encouraged.
Of course he understood what her body language meant. He knew it better than anyone. And now she understood what he was going through every time she carelessly got closer and searched out intimacy.
She clenched her jaws hard and only allowed for the smallest parting of her lips so she still could talk. "I'm so sorry," she said, truly meaning it for the first time. "I had no idea this was how I smelled to you."
He gave her a small smile, and she was so happy to see it was still crooked. She had always suspected it wasn't just his vampirism that made him beautiful. Edward as a human was equally as stunning with his exquisite green eyes and hints of stubble on his chin.
"Being with you is worth the pain," he said, and she melted all over again because she felt the truth in her very bones. In this life, she as a vampire would do the same sacrifice and burn a thousand times over if it meant she could be with him.
A/N:
And let us all let out a collective 'aaaaaw'!
They're still a long way from understanding each other fully, but this is an excellent start!
I didn't leave you with a mean cliffhanger since now you have to wait until Monday again!
Until then,
Stay Awesome!
