As promised, my next chapter. It took a little longer than expected, but I'm really trying to extend this story, as opposed to rushing through it. Please continue with your encouragement, and keep sending names in!

Bella's arrival at SIAMC!!! SO EXCITING! I received a review saying it was a little Harry Potter-esque, and I apologize if anyone takes offense. I wasn't trying to make it like Hogwarts, it just came out that way.

Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight, would I be here right now? Yeah, didn't think so.

Bella

Here I am.

At the Sea-tac.

It's now or never.

I left Charlie behind as I entered the huge airport. Despite it being 6am, it was jammed with people arriving and departing, huge lineups and a sea of luggage being ported via large carts.

I pulled the instructions out of my pocket, along with my airplane tickets.

After arriving at the Seattle-Tacoma International airport through the main doors, look to your left. There will be a washroom and two doors to the right of it, both of which say maintenance.

Why do I need to know that? Geez, this is some weird school.

Enter the washroom. To your immediate right there will be a stall saying 'Out of Order'.

Surely enough, as I entered the stingy washroom, to my immediate right, the first washroom had a sign saying 'Out of Order'. Okay…freaky.

I turned my attention back to the instructions.

Enter the stall and close the door behind you, turning in a full circle twice to face the toilet.

Now that is just stupid! But, I did it anyways, against my pride.

When you face the toilet again, the water should be a glowing purple.

Okay, maybe this is real. The water in the toilet suddenly glowed a vibrant, violet color.

"Okay, just read the instructions…" I told myself calmly in a hushed tone.

Now, place the airplane tickets into the water and flush. Once the water color has returned to normal, exit the washroom.

This is officially the strangest thing I have ever done in my life. But I complied and watched as my tickets to another world swirled in the glowing water.

As the nasty toilet water became clear again, I looked back to the instructions.

After exiting the washroom, you will notice a third door to your right saying electrical maintenance room. Enter with all of your luggage.

I left the bathroom and, sure enough, there was a new door on the end. So, do they magically transport me back to the school or something? I was really starting to believe in magic.

I entered the room labeled 'Electrical Maintenance,' dragging the trolly carrying my suitcase and Sam in his kennel and was shocked at the inside. It was almost exactly what I pictured a magical airport would look like.

It was bright and sunny, unlike the weather had been outside, with all forms of creatures scurrying here and there looking for their flight gate.

There was a vendor to my side selling Angels Cakes (not to be confused with Angel Food Cake), and an enchanted book store just past called Sariyas Spells.

I entered the bookstore, seeing as I had about a half hour before my flight, and was looking for the fiction section when a small figure bumped into me with a quiet 'oof'

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I should have watched where I was going, let me help you up!" I apologized profusely and extended my hand to the tiny girl of the floor, surrounded by magazines.

She was very pretty. She had black hair, delicately spiked all over, a body that was thin in the extreme, but still healthy, and small, delicate features.

She looked up, her hazel eyes flashing with recognition, and I was almost knocked over by the force of her embrace.

"Bella!" her voice chimed, a glorious soprano, "I was wondering when you would show up!"

"Do I know you?" I know I didn't, seeing as I had no experience in the magical world. Maybe I was being robbed…

"Oh sorry Bella! I guess I got carried away! I'm Alice, and we're going to be great friends! Trust me!" And strangely, looking at Alice, I did trust her.

"You're leaving for SIAMC at the same time as me, let's sit together!" She was just so happy and exuberant that I couldn't refuse.

"Sure Alice, I'd like that. So, umm…what…what exactly a-are you?" I felt embarrassed for having to ask.

"I'm a pixie, of course…OH RIGHT! I forgot that you're new! Sorry, again!" She blushed a bit at the end, the centre of her ivory cheeks becoming an adorable pink. Why can't I do that, instead of just looking like a boiled lobster?

"That's fine Alice, I was the one who asked. So, have you gone to SIAMC before?" I was nervous and hoped she could tell me about the school. I really like Alice, even though I just met her.

"Oh sure, I've been going since I was ten, since I was the only pixie in my village to develop a special ability." She said it like it was so natural. I was amazed.

"What kind of special ability?"

"I can see the future, but only once it has been decided. That's how I knew you! I saw you meeting me yesterday, and I saw us as best friends this year!" No wonder. She was just so sure of everything. Alice seemed like my opposite.

"So Bella," I was brought out of my haze, only to notice we were boarding the plane, my luggage being loaded into the cargo hold, Sam on a leash walking along beside me, as if this were all completely normal. "Have you noticed any of your abilities yet?"

"Umm, no. I honestly don't even think I'm supposed to be here." Sam looked up at me and growled, as if to say "of course you belong here!"

"Sam's got it!" Alice laughed. I laughed with her, and we entered the plane.

We were seated together right behind this huge guy. And I do mean huge. This guy was massive, but not in the tall way.

Okay, so he was tall too, but only about 6'6", not too abnormal. But he was ripped! This guy was covered with bulging muscles, even his chestnut hair was muscular. Okay, so I don't know that, but it very well could be.

He turned around then, his eyes following what looked to me like a fairy, but our size, when he saw us staring.

He smiled one of those shit-eating grins, showing two dimples, brown eyes twinkling.

"Hello Alice. Who is your new friend?" He said in a smooth, quiet voice. I'd have never expected this guy to be quiet.

"Emmett!" Alice gave him a quick hug before motioning to me. "Bella, this is Emmett, my best friend and all around teddy bear, Emmett, this is Bella, she's new. I just know you guys are going to be tight like siblings!"

"So Bella," he began, his voice a little less smooth, more relaxed. "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what are you?" Alice and I laughed a bit at his question.

"Well Emmett, as far as I know, human." The plane suddenly got very quiet.

"What do you mean?" He looked concerned and a little scared.

"I have no idea what I am. I just got the letter asking if I would attend."

It was now dead silent, everyone on the plane wanting to know this piece of juicy gossip, I suppose.

"Don't worry, Em. She's one of us, I've seen it." Alice was all perky smiles, and there was a tangible sigh throughout the atmosphere.

"If you two magical people don't mind, I'm going to take a nap. I was up way too early this morning!" they both laughed a bit.

The plane had finally taken off, so I reclined my seat and was asleep within seconds.

Through the shield of my closed eyelids I could see it was dark, but there were hushed giggles coming from beside and in front of me, and then the comforting sound of Sam snoring, his mid sized form curled up on my lap.

I cracked an eye open to see that it was Alice and Emmett who were laughing. They looked like they were going to pee themselves any second.

"Hey guys," I whispered, being conscious of the other passengers, "what's so funny?"

At this they were laughing even harder, and you could see the effort to keep it hushed.

"You.." laugh laugh laugh, "you were.." laugh, "t-talking," giggle, "in your sleep," laugh laugh, "about…" laugh snort, "d-donuts!"

I could feel my cheeks flushing. It had been a while since I've been told that I sleep talk, and having these two confirm it made it even worse.

"It's really not that funny you two, I haven't eaten since 4:30 this morning!" I whisper-yelled at them.

They finally calmed down enough to speak calmly.

"Sorry, Bella, but you should have heard yourself. You seriously said 'Come here you rascally donut!'" and they exploded into snickers again.

"Well I'm sorry that you two can't have as amazing dreams as me!" I pulled out my iPod and leaned back in my chair, cranking the music a bit louder than usual.

I relaxed as Monsoon by Tokio Hotel came on, soothing me.

I was almost asleep when a small hand grasped mine. I looked to see Alice's pale hand on mine, covering about one third of my equally pale hand.

I pulled out my earplugs and looked her in the eye.

"Sorry Bella," she said quietly. "I didn't mean to make you embarrassed. Honestly, I'm a bit hungry too. Would you like to get some lunch with me?"

"Sure Alice." Her smile was blinding. "But, where? I mean, we're in an airplane, miles from any food place."

"Oh right, at the back of the plane, there's a cafeteria, sort of. You can get food, it's all provided for free from Dr. Cullen." Wow, swanky.

"Okay then. Will there be donuts?" We both laughed a bit at that and set off to the back of the plane.

Sure enough, after the last row of sleeping students, there were double doors leading to a very cafeteria like venue. I immediately noticed a Tim Hortons (a Canadian donut place, best food ever) and dragged Alice there with me.

"What's this?"

"You poor, deprived pixie. This is the most wonderful fast food breakfast experience north of the border!" I asked how she liked her coffee and ordered two medium coffees, a marble chocolate donut for me, and a cinnamon sugar donut for her. I had a feeling she liked cinnamon.

I handed Alice her brown bag and coffee. "How did you know I like cinnamon?"

"Lucky guess I guess!" We walked back to our seats, sipping our coffees and being as quit as we could.

I noticed when we got back to our seats that Emmett was out like a light, snoring loudly. He had even woken Sam up, and that's quite an accomplishment.

"Do you want to prank him?" Alice whispered. I giggled and nodded. She pulled some lipstick out of her purse, a blood red that she clearly didn't use. She smothered it all over Emmetts mouth, and we laughed into our hands, trying to stay quiet.

After that, we ate our donuts and finished our coffees, but I was still tired. We still had twelve hours before we get there.

"Hey Alice, if I start talking, wake me up, okay?"

"Sure thing, Bella. Night"

And I was out. Again

I wrote eight whole pages for you guys, AND Bella met Alice and Emmett. As characters are introduced, I'm going to tell you what creature they are and what special abilities they have.

Alice: Pixie

Pixies are pale, child-like faries usually with red hair, up-turned noses, and pointed ears. They can be mean to humans, but they will help out humans who befriend them. Pixies are excellent metal workers. The dust that their metal working produces is magical, and is commonly called "pixie dust" by humans. Pixies are drawn to blooming flowers, and like to live under toadstools.

Alice has the power of ESP and can see the future once it has been decided. She is also fashionably gifted.

Emmett: Behemoth

The Behemoth is a creature as old as time itself. He is one of the strongest things ever to exist.

Despite being unnaturally strong and burly, Emmett is a teddy bear and very gentle.

Okay! That's all you guys get today, but hey that was eight whole pages on word! Okay, you know what to do!

Loves,

Iris

P.S. Now it is nine pages, but you get the idea!
