Hi my Beautiful People!

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's a little sneak peak to how our two comrades return to the land of Vamps!

Hope You like it!

A big hug to all my reviewers!

Her hair was longer, I thought idly as there was silence on both sides of the door.

Isabella Marie Swan, my best friend in the Twilight World had only slightly changed. Not that I was expecting any changes, duh, I mean, I didn't even think for a second I was ever going to see her again but the sight of her did make me take a look quickly.

She was looking pastier, her dark hair and eyes, so similar to mine, if not a little less bright had clearly not been exposed much to the sun. Her back length hair now hung to her waist and she was wearing her usual full sleeved t-shirts and a pair of sweats and socks. In contrast, I was sure Stephen and I looked hilarious.

She was the poster child of Sunless Sorrows while we both were tanned and looking very, very thunderstruck…from the marketing lands of Sunny lane.

She was still gaping at us when Stephen spoke up, in his dry voice. "If neither of you are going to speak, I'm going home." He said.

I shot him a quick look.

Bella blinked furiously then threw her arms around me. "Oh god, here I thought I was never going to see you again! Dad, Dad, look who finally decided to come home!"

I had wrapped my arms around her, purely to keep myself from falling off but I still cringed when she said 'come home'.

There was a shuffle of footsteps and then I was in the firm and manly grasp of Chief Charlie Swan.

"You should've called. We would've picked you up." He grumbled, which was his way of saying he was very glad to see me. I looked over his shoulder to see Bella press her lips to Stephen's who was still looking like he wasn't very sure of his place in the world. I didn't blame him.

Stephen and I were carted into the living room and soon we were busy making up stories of how we got there…with a few discrepancies.

"I saw him -,"

"I was waving like mad, she just wouldn't look."

Stephen and I both stopped at that, looking at each other with varying measures of exasperation and embarrassment. It was clear he couldn't lie properly, at least not when he was still shell shocked. "I'll let you tell it then," he said sheepishly. I cleared my throat and carried on, weaving a seamless yarn of a fake meeting at the airport, a spontaneous decision to surprise everyone and I ended it with an emotional 'so happy to be back'.

Charlie and Bella didn't look like they suspected anything so they just nodded along.

"This is amazing; you're back before Prom…now I won't have to sulk at home and Edward won't mope!"

Stephen and I both choked at that.

"Come again…?" I asked, my eyes watering.

Bella looked at me slowly then enunciated. "Prom…I mean, I knew you were a junkie and I knew you would be back but still, I'm just glad you won't be missing Prom. You'll have to help me though. I have no clue what to do,"

I squinted at her. "Bell…since when did you become a party-gofer?" I asked.

"Well," she cast a shy look at Charlie and Stephen, "I took a leaf out of your book. I don't want you to sit at home because of me, like you did at the Spring Dance." She said.

"That wasn't…" I caught Stephen's imperceptible move and shut up quickly, not bothering to correct her. Instead, I put on a huge grin. "That's awesome, Bells. We'll knock their socks off."

I didn't have to look at my Partner in Crime to know it would be anything but awesome.

My room hadn't changed. Correction – my room looked like it had been memorialized. It didn't seem like any one had even wandered into the room during the time I was gone. I didn't know what to feel about that. Even the clothes, I'd left draped on my desk chair were there. I was swiping them off when I caught Bella walking Stephen to the end of the driveway. His hands were back in the pockets and so were Bella's. It looked like the awkwardness of seeing each other after six months of no contact had finally caught up.

"How do you feel about school tomorrow?" I turned to see Charlie leaning in the doorway.

"Oh, you know…I'll be fine." I said lamely.

"Well, just so you know, you might just face a mob, if what Bella tells me is true, your friends missed you," he said.

I nodded. "I missed them too." I said, meaning it. I did miss Angela and Lauren…I wasn't so sure about Jessica, Mike and Eric and of course, there were the Cullens to consider.

"Charlie, what's…up…with the…you know, Cullens?" I asked, haltingly. I didn't know what I wanted him to answer. I just knew I couldn't handle 'I think they left,' or 'T, Edward's moved on,'

"They're still here. I expect, they'll be the most surprised when they see you tomorrow. Edward really watched out for Bella the first couple of months when you and Garrison left." He said before waving a goodnight.

I just stood there, wringing out the sash of my bathrobe.

Bella and I were walking through the school hallways.

Nothing had changed, except maybe the dirty looks I was getting thrown from people I had never even spoken to.

"She's back…? OMG, she's got guts, after what she did…" I caught one blond girl saying behind her hand and frowned, looking down and hurrying after Bella. The surprising this was that she was basking in the attention. "Hey, Bella," "Hi Bella," were echoing all around us and she lapped it all up.

What was happening?

"Hey, you don't look so good. Do you want to go home?" Bella said, looking back at me with a concerned expression.

"No," I said, watching people watch me.

Why were they being so hostile? What had I done? Ok…maybe, I'd ruined the Twilight love story, but…what did they know about it?

"So, she's back, is she?" I quickly looked over my shoulder to see Alice and Rosalie with Jasper and Emmett looking at me with cold looks on their faces as they swarmed around Bella. "Yeah, she is," she smiled at me and hers was the only look that contained even a shred of warmth.

"Too bad," Alice sneered while Rosalie twirled Bella's hair and Jasper and Emmett gave me stony looks.

"Alice, be nice, let's not ruin her first day back."

I froze. No, I completely stilled, my world stopped spinning as I saw the tall figure emerge from the Cullen's midst. He had on a smile too but it was nowhere near the smiles he used to give me. It was purely friendly, like I meant nothing to him but the just a girl he knew in school.

I stared as he wrapped an arm around Bella's shoulders and plastered a kiss all over her face. I gasped, falling back as they kept kissing, while the Cullens watched me triumphantly. "See…they're finally together. Good riddance from you," Rosalie snapped at me.

"Stop it, you're not real!" I yelled and they broke apart before looking at each other then Bella stepped up to me, making me take a step back.

Her skin was pale white, her eyes a luminous golden and her movements weren't jerky and unsure but nimble and graceful.

"We're sorry, Tulika. It's only fair. You took his from me once; but you know he belongs with me, don't you?"

"Go to hell," I snarled but her face didn't change, she still had that condescending look on her face.

"Give up, T. You can't have him."

I spun around, trying to get away from them but I was surrounded. All around me were familiar and unfamiliar faces. Charlie, Billy, Jacob, Stephen, Mike, Jess, Angela, Lauren…all of them, circled me and chanted like a sick cult: Give him up, give him up, give him up…

"No, please," I whispered as I sunk to the ground, clutching my bag to my chest.

So...?

Please Tell me if I should continue!

Love you all and red roses for all the readers who review for this.
