A/N: so thanks to all y'all who reviewedâ glad
that you like it.
this chapter does have some of my random dream
elements to itâ you'll see..
And I still do not own Edwardâ but I did watch the movie todayâ if that helps
On with the show!
Grams's house was much smaller than the one Edward was used to. In fact, there weren't even any stairs. Grams led him to a room down the hall. "Tabie usually sleeps here" she said, commenting on the Donny Osmond poster over the bed.
Edward didn't mind. As he slept that night, he could smell her on the pillow
"Tabs what is the big secret?!" Katherine whined. Tabie had picked her up and they were driving to Tabie's house.
The girls trampled up the stairs to Tabie's room.
It was filled with dresses; all styles and colors.
"OH MYâ You got a date?!?!" Katherine shrieked. More surprised than excited. "who is he? Do I know him? Is he cute?!?!"
Tabie smiled. She liked this. Finally she had the power. "well yes, I have a date. His name is Edward. You don't know him; I met him last summerâ when I stayed with Grams when my parents were out of townâ and here" Tabie said handing Katherine a picture of her and Edward from last summerâ no hands.
"he's cute, a little paleâ bad dresser, but cute. I guessâ not as cute as Kyle" Kat said in a dreamy tone. She and Kyle had been dating for almost 2 yearsnoone was as perfect as "Kyle" but Tabie was confident that her best friend would really like Edward.
"there's something else Kat, ummmâ well 1) I don't think that that leather thing comes offâ you see.. he's not umâ wellâ he's not"
"What not human??!?!" Kat chided.
"well"
"OMG Tabieâ is he some sort of random robot?! You're so desperate you're taking some sort of fantasy creature to prom?!"
"NO! he IS Human! He has a heart and a brainâ and FEELINGS!!! He bleeds and cries, he talksâ he just" Tabie took a deep breath and mumbled, "hasscissorsforhands"
"What? You're mumbling Tabitha" Kat said, in a mock motherly tone.
"He has scissors where his hands should be! Now will you please just watch me model my prom dress like a good best friend?!?!?!?!" Tabie had tried to remain calm, but something Katherine's ignorance just pissed her off.
Katherine looked hurt, but she was stranded. So she avoided her best friend's face by staring at the plethora of dresses in the room. She'd pick one out and Tabie would make a comment like "my shoulder's would get cut" or "Edward wouldn't like it so low cut"
Why the HELL does she have them then? Katherine wondered.
Tabie chose her dress. Long sleeved, puffy shoulders (like Snow White's) high neck and back. Ugliest dress you'll ever see, but it was the safest.
Meanwhile back at Grams's
Edward was confused. There were shoeprints on the floor, but noone to make them, they were much smaller than his feet and much to bit to be Grams's.
"They're for you to learn to dance!" The old woman explained, putting a record on.
"123â123â123" The record repeated.
"I can't" Edward said, looking down. He was useless. He didn't know that you had to dance at a prom! Grams pitied the boy. He knew that he was different. And in some things he didn't let that stop him, but it othersâ he didn't even try.
She smiled. They decided to try slow slow dancing. She grabbed his wrist and placed in on the small of her back (blades facing out). The other one she held.
"just move to the music." She said.
After a few songs she realized that Edward was actually very good! In fact, he was as good as (or better than) Rhemus.
"Will Tabie like this?" Edward said looking at Grams.
"if I know my granddaughterâ she will LOVE it!"
love. Edward had heard of that before. His father had tried to explain it to him. It was better than likeâ he thought. Edward liked gardeningâ so he loved his father. The question filled his brain: "What was love?"
That's all for now! Does Edward "love" Tabie? Or is she shrubbery to him? How the teenidol will they hold hands?!
And just to clarify: the ugly dress—from my dreamâ as is the roomful of dresses and myâ I mean Tabie's reason for choosing the ugly one.
So tune in next time!
Reveiws make the chapters come faster!!!!!!!!
