Project H: Twilight

By Panicattack/ Project H

Part 2

*La Push, it's French for 'The Push'*

Jacob: Hi Bella, remember me? We used to meet up out the front of your house. I'd present you with a truck, and then we'd make mud pies

Angela: Good thing you're here, Bella's date bailed

Jessica: He made bail? Good for him, I knew those stalking charges wouldn't hold up

Angela: She invited Edward

Sam: The Cullens don't come here!

Bella: What did your friend mean about the Cullens not coming here?

Jacob: You caught that, huh?

Bella: Yes, he yelled it at me about 5 seconds ago

Jacob: I'm not supposed to say anything about it. My family are descended from wolves and the Cullens are from an enemy clan that drink blood

Bella: Is the reason you're not supposed to talk about it because everyone will laugh at you family's ridiculous stories?

*Pier*

Waylon singing: My mama said I didn't know how to make a kitten meow…

Vampires: *Kill Waylon*

James: My mama said I didn't know how to kill a man and drain him of his blood. Clearly she was wrong

***

*School yard*

Bella: It sure is hot. Why isn't Edward here? Doesn't he only like hot things?

Jessica: Clearly not if he's interested in you

Angela: I just asked Eric to the prom. Just like a strong, independent woman

Bella: Not so much if you immediately come and seek approval from your friends

Angela: Sure you can't come?

Bella: Yeah sorry, I can't. I've got a weird family thing

Jessica: Sounds sexy

Angela: Wanna come watch us try on dresses just so you know how much fun you're missing out on?

Bella: You bet!

***

*Dress shop*

Jessica: This one's nice, do you reckon they have it in brother-love blue

Shop assistant: I keep telling you that's not a real colour

Guy walking past: Looking good, baby!

Jessica: Dear God, it's like you can't get changed in front of a large window that looks out onto the street without the possibility of a stranger seeing you

Bella: Some world

*Quileute bookstore*

Cashier: Here's your book. Would you like to join our email list? We'll keep you updated if any member of our tribe finds a new animal they think they're related to. If you ask me, my ex-wife comes from a family of pigs. Hi-yo!

*Outside*

Guy: Hey baby, wanna hang out with us?

Bella: Behind the dog

You'll find a ball

Raise your knee

Watch him fall

*knees guy in groin*

Boy 2: Ooh, I love assaults that rhyme

We're not that tough

We're actually wussy

Drop your pants

I'll grab your-

Edward: *Speeds around corner*

Don't be fooled by the perm

Or the poncy coats

Get out of here

Or I'll rip out your throats

***

*In the car*

Edward: You should have heard the horrible things they were thinking

Bella: I'm pretty sure one of them was thinking "Oh God, my groin!"

Edward: That would have been me. The car-lock was still on the seat when I sat down

*Restaurant*

Jessica: Bella, where were you? We waited, but eventually they waiter got fed up with me insisting that he call me 'auntie' and rub my leg

Edward: Sorry I kept Bella from dinner. We ran into each other, started talking, Bella was nearly raped, and we totally lost track of the time

Jessica: That's exactly how my parents met. Except it ended with my dad sitting on a car-lock. The doctor said it would damage his sperm and could screw up his kids, but my seriously sexy dad totally proved them wrong

Edward: I should make sure Bella get something to eat

Jessica: I wouldn't mind a little something to nibble myself

*Inside the restaurant*

Waitress: So that's a mushroom ravioli for the girl, and a lingering flirtatious smile for the boy

Edward: I didn't order that

Waitress: It's on the house

Guy at other table: I think I'd like one of those

Waitress: Uh, they're off the menu

Bella: You gotta give me some answers

Edward: Yes, no, to get to the other side, 42, one of its legs is both the same, because Jessica was raised in an abusive household, 13 inches, 1.77245…

Bella: I don't want to know what the square root of…wait, what did you say before that?

Edward: Never mind

Bella: How did you know where I was?

Edward: I took the square root of pi and carried the 1

Bella: *Starts leaving*

Edward: No, I'm sorry. I was just speeding dangerously around the local area and happened to find you

Bella: So more stalking, huh?

Edward: When I heard what those low-lives were thinking I-

Bella: Wait, you heard what they were thinking?

Edward: I can read every mind in this room, except for yours and the guy in the corner with the tinfoil hat. *Starts motioning towards others* Money, sex, money, sex, cat, paying money for sex with a cat. Oh, I see the tinfoil guy has taken off his hat. Everyone's mind except yours

Bella: Is there something wrong with me? And yes, I realise that's an odd question to ask someone who thinks hair like that actually looks good and clearly plucks his eyebrows

Edward: I have considered that. You might just be incredibly thick, although that hasn't stopped me from reading Jessica's mind

Bella: Charming. It's a wonder you've never been able to find a girlfriend

Edward: I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore

Bella: Anymore? You come up to me every day and say we shouldn't hand out, then you hang around me saying how dangerous it is and now today I take a trip out of town and you follow me and then insist we have dinner! What strength? I haven't spent a minute away from you since I got to Forks, you creepy psychopathic freak!

Edward:…what?

Bella: You can Google it

***

*Car*

Bella: OK, I think I'm warm enough *goes to turn off heater and touches Edward's hand*. Your hand is so cold. I thought you didn't like cold, wet things

Edward: I don't

Bella: So you don't like your own hands? You have no girlfriend and you don't like your own hands? No wonder you're so uptight

*They drive past the police station*

Bella: That's my dad's car, can you pull in?

Edward: My dad's car too

Carlisle: Hey guys. The fisherman Waylon was attacked by an animal. There were two bite marks in his neck, he was drained of his blood and there was a note on the body reading "Yes, he was killed by vampires". Naturally, the police are suspecting a bear, or possibly a rabid parrot. Bella, you should go inside

Bella: *Goes inside*

Edward: Fishing, huh? How come you never take me fishing?

Carlisle: I thought you hated water

Edward: Well maybe I wouldn't hate it if you took me fishing! *Starts sobbing*

***

*Forest*

Bella: You're impossibly fast and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change colour, you have little to no personality, and a weird obsession with Google. How old are you?

Edward: 17

Bella: How long have you been 17?

Edward: A while

Bella: When you say a while, do you mean like, 11 months?

Edward: No. I mean like, many years

Bella: Do you mean dog years?

Edward: No

Bella: I know what you are

Edward: Say it. Out loud

Bella: Leprechaun

Edward: No

Bella: Frankenstein

Edward: Not quite

Bella: Zombie, mummy, mermaid

Edward: No. We're not in Egypt. I don't have fins

Bella: Chupacabra, banshee, werewolf

Edward: No, but keep the last one in the back of your mind

Bella: Umm…

Edward: Think about it. Cold skin, no sunlight…

Bella: Leprechaun

Edward: Vampire!

Bella: That was my next guess

Edward: Are you afraid?

Bella: Yes. I think this forest has snakes

Edward: Of me?

Bella: No. You can protect me from the snakes

Edward: Ask me the most basic question: What do we eat?

Bella: Snakes?

Edward: *Walks into sunlight*

Bella: No! You'll burst into flames!

Edward: Not quite. I sparkle like diamonds

Bella: Wuss. I almost wish you were a leprechaun. It's like Dracula and a disco ball had a baby

Edward: I'm a killer

Bella: Not with the ladies, obviously

Edward: An actual killer

Bella: Did you bore them to death with your conversation skills? Or did they die of laughter when they saw you sparkle?

Edward: I wanted to kill you. Your scent is like a drug to me. Like my own personal brand of heroin. I call it Edward's Choice, and one day I hope to wake up in a gutter with you all over my face and no idea of how I got there

Bella: You have such a magical way with words

Edward: You don't know how long I've waited for you

Bella: 11 months?

Edward: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb

Bella: What a stupid lamb

Edward: What a sick, masochistic lion

Bella: Isn't that some sort of bestiality

Edward: There are no laws in the jungle

Bella: Well how old is the lamb? It might be paedophilia

Edward:…what a stupid lamb

Bella: Wait a minute, how old are you?

Edward: Over 100

Bella: I'm only 17. Dear God, you're a paedophile

Edward: No no, it's not paedophilia if I look young

Bella: The prosecution rests, your honour

***

Bella thinking: About three things I was absolutely positive: First, Edward was a stalker. Second, Edward was a paedophile. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. And why not, he was clearly the perfect man
