A/N: Wow, I got those 3 reviews fast! Sorry I didn't post right away, needed to get this beta'd. This seems like a good moment to thank my awesome beta, R.M.J. Lennixx.

Disclaimer: Sorry, I know it would be awesome if I was Stephenie Meyer, but I'm not. Besides, if I was, don't you think my writing would be just a little bit better? So if you recognize any characters, that's her. Plus if you recognize anything from the show The Bachelorette, I didn't think of that either. I know, it's depressing. All that I own is the plot.

Chapter 3- The Limos, Part 1

(Bella and Angela have just finished their conversation. Fade to front garden.)

A: "Okay, Bella, here they come now. After the first 10 mean are inside, I'll come back so we talk about them a little. Good luck!"

B: "Thanks!"

(They hug, and Angela walks out of view.)

Announcer: Here's the first limo pulling up now. The men must be excited to meet Bella! Let's see how it goes.

(A man gets out of the limo. He is very tall, about 6' 4", muscular, and handsome, with dark hair and eyes. He strides confidently up to Bella and shakes her hand enthusiastically.)

Emmett: "Hi, how are you?"

Bella: "I'm good, thanks, and you…?"

(She trails off, obviously looking for a name.)

E: "Emmett, Emmett McCarty. I'm great. It's terrific to meet you, and may I just say you look absolutely stunning tonight."

B: "Why thank you! It's nice to meet you too. So, where are you from?"

E: "I'm from right near here, actually, in L.A."

B: "Well, I'm looking forward to learning more about you. I'll see you inside!"

(Emmett kisses her on the cheek and heads inside. The next man approaches. He too is very handsome, tanned with dark hair and surprisingly light hazel eyes, but isn't as tall or muscular as Emmett.)

Nahuel: "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Nahuel."

(He says this with a hint of an accent.)

B: "Bella."

(She shakes his hand while introducing herself.)

B: "May I ask where you're from? That's an interesting accent."

N: "I'm from Brazil. I'm working on a project in the rainforest there."

B: "Wow, that sounds fascinating! Remind me to ask you about that inside."

(She smiles at him, and turns back towards the limo. The next man is significantly shorter than the first two, but still a couple inches taller than Bella. He is stocky, and obviously Native American.)

Quil: "Hey, beautiful. I'm Quil."

(He says this in a cocky manner. Bella giggles at his bold flirting.)

B: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

(She speaks demurely, this fact made more obvious by the difference in their tones.)

B: "Where are you from?"

Q: "Phoenix, Arizona."

B: "No way! So am I!"

(She squeals these words, flushing with excitement and pleasant surprise.)

Q: "Well, I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about inside over drinks."

(With one last hug and a wink, he heads inside. Next is another tall and muscular man, though not as good-looking as the others. He has dark wavy hair reaching nearly to his chin, and blue-gray eyes darting all over, seeming to take in every detail of their surroundings, before coming to rest of Bella.)

Dmitri: "Hallo. I'm Dmitri."

(He speaks with a thick Russian accent.)

B: "Hi, thanks for coming tonight."

D: "Eet ees my play-shur."

B: "You've got quite an accent! Are you from Russia?"

D: "Yess, ju are very goood! I move here doo yea-ar ago. I vork as policeman in Las Vegass."

B: "You'll have to tell me all about that inside."

(She smiles politely, but as soon as he's gone, she giggles, and talks quietly to herself.)

"How am I supposed to choose him when I can barely even understand what he's saying?"

(The last man from that limo steps out. He's about the same height as Bella, and not very muscular, but with a sold build. He has blond hair, neatly slicked back, and cloudy blue eyes. He is carrying something, which she realizes is a cane. As he walks closer, she pieces it all together and figures out that he's blind. She quickly walks towards him, and grabs his arm, helping him the rest of the way to the path.)

B: "There you go."

Alec: "Thank you. I'm Alec, by the way."

B: "No problem, and I'm Bella. So, where have you traveled from?"

A: "Actually, Italy."

(She gasps in shock.)

B: "Wow, that's a long trip."

(He laughs good-naturedly.)

A: "Yes, but I love trying new things. I mean, I'm a blind chef!"

(She chuckles at his joke.)

B: "Oh, well here's the next limo coming. Do you need any help getting inside?"

A: "No, I'm fine, but thanks for the offer."

B: "Okay, see you later."

(She calls these last words after him as he heads inside, tapping his cane in front of him as he walks.)

Announcer: Limo number 2 is arriving. What will Bella think of this second set of Bachelors? Find out after the break.

*Commercial*

Announcer: "And we're back! The first man is approaching now."

(He struts up to Bella confidently, despite the fact that he's a little pudgy and not very handsome. He has the boyish, All-American good looks, with blond hair gelled in the front and soft blue eyes. He smiles genuinely at Bella.)

Mike: "It's so great to finally meet you. I'm Mike. And don't take this the wrong way, but I definitely wasn't expecting someone like you! I mean, how are you even still single?"

(She laughs and blushes, obviously flattered by his praise.)

B: "I don't know, but I'm hoping to solve that here."

M: "Well, I hope I can help."

(He smiles at her again, and walks inside. Before she can decide what to think of Mike, another man steps out of the limo and she's floored. The only other man so far who even came close to his good looks was Emmett. But this man is the opposite. He's also very tall, and somewhat muscular, but that's where the similarities end. This man has wavy, honey-blonde hair and blue-green eyes. He's graceful and lean, and he seems to glide right up to Bella. He kisses her hand like a true gentleman.)

Jasper: "Good evening, Miss. I'm Jasper Whitlock. It truly is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

(She giggles.)

B: "Well, if that isn't the sweetest accent I've ever heard."

(He grins shyly.)

J: "I'm from down South, in Texas."

B: "That's so cool! You have to tell me all about it. I grew up in Arizona- all the heat of the south, but none of the great stories."

J: "Aw, shucks, I bet you have plenty of great tales."

B: "I suppose I do. Maybe I'll tell you a couple, but only if you start."

(He grins again in agreement, then nods before heading inside. Yet another man steps out of the limo. He is very tall, at least 6' 6'' and muscular in a wiry sort of way. He's very handsome, with short black hair and dark brown eyes. He lopes up to Bella, towering over her by almost a foot. She seems not to be intimidated by his size though, and smiles cheerfully up at him and shakes his hand.)

B: "Hi, I'm Bela."

Embry: "Embry. It's great to meet you."

(He smiles back and blushes slightly. He's clearly a little bit shy.)

B: "So, where are you from?"

E: "North Carolina, I work as a vet."

B: "Oh, that's so sweet! I love animals. Okay, well, I'll see you inside, but you have to tell me about your work!"

(He kisses her cheek before going inside. The next man is strikingly different. He is extremely pale, with long, straight, white-blond hair that reaches past his shoulders. He also has the palest grey eyes imaginable. He is surprisingly petite, especially for a man, and is barely Bella's height.)

Peter: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."

(He speaks with a soft voice proportionate to his size, and seems nervous.)

B: "The pleasure is all mine…"

P: "Peter."

B: "Well, Peter, what do you do?"

P: "I'm an author."

B: "Oh, I'm an English teacher, so I expect we'll get along well. See you inside!"

(The fifth and final man steps out of the limo. He is African American, with very dark skin. He has long dreadlocks, but they don't make him look scruffy- on the contrary, he looks quite hygienic. He shows his rows of perfectly straight teeth as he beams at Bella.)

Laurent: "It's so great to meet you, just absolutely terrific."

(He is quite enthusiastic and has a deep and charismatic voice.)

B: "Thank you. I'm Bella."

(He pumps her hand energetically.)

L: "I'm Laurent, Laurent DeMorgeran. Actually, I'm a professional singer, so I wrote a song about coming here. Hopefully I can sing it for you later?"

(He is babbling away. He is very talkative and friendly, and Bella looks a bit taken aback, but also seems to find him interesting. At his last statement, her face lights up.)

B: "Certainly! That sounds great."

(As he walks inside, Angela comes back into view.)

A: "So, Bella, what do you think of the fist 10 guys?"

B: "I must say, I'm very impressed. One already wrote a song for me."

(Both laugh. Bella seems excited and Angela looks impressed, and almost a bit jealous.)

A: "But any specific thoughts?"

B: "Hmm…I really liked the first guy Emmett, he seemed really funny. And Jasper was very polite- I was quite impressed with his manners. Oh, and I liked Mike, he was friendly. But I haven't really felt an extraordinary connection yet."

A: "Don't worry, there's still 15 more guys. Besides, love usually takes time to form. Oh, and remember, you'll have to hand out a first impression rose to one man at some point before the rose ceremony. It's pretty self- explanatory. Whichever guy makes the best first impression gets the rose. Hey! There's the next limo."

(Sure enough, the limo's headlights are visible through the darkening twilight as it drives up.)

A: "We'll chat again right before you go inside."

(She turns around to leave again, but Bella catches her arm.)

B: "Do you have any advice Ang? You know, as a friend, not as the host."

A: "Just be yourself Bells, be yourself. You're doing great so far."

(Angela hurries away, and as Bella turns back towards the limo, the screen fades to black and goes to commercial.)

A/N: Yeah, it's kind of weird that I talk about the commercials, but I really want this to seem like a TV show. Plus, it makes this a better place to stop. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Next will be the rest of the limos. This time I'll post after 4 reviews. After a couple more chapters, I won't put review quotas, but for now I just want to know that people actually like this story and want to read more.
