::Team Twilight:: Story Teller Saturday

May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart, and warmed by the smiles of the people you love. And if you find you're in need of a little bit of green to keep from getting pinched, come to the door at the back of the shack, it’s been painted green just for today, knock your favorite Celtic tune and the password is "Ireland". Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bella was right, I thought to myself as I sat staring out the window. This place is really green. Of course, being that it was going to be a St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the green was fitting and made me wonder if there really were any leprechaun’s out there in the forest. All that moss would camouflage them quite well assuming they were wearing all green.

Giggling from my musings, I heard the door swiftly open and close. I turned toward the door, expecting to see one of my usual visitors, but was surprised to find three complete strangers standing in my lab.

“Oh, Hello!” I exclaimed. “Is there something I can do for you?” I rose to walk toward them and they likewise turned in my direction. The two tallest of them both had dark hair while the smallest one had hair the color of fire, as I got closer I saw their eyes, all three were red.

With a gasp, I froze; my heart beating out of my chest. The tall dark haired woman moved with purpose toward me, stretching out her hand and smiling. “Well, I’m Siobhan, this is Liam and Maggie. Are you, Andi?”

“Yes.” I squeaked out without taking a breath.

“Carlisle said it would be alright if we visited ya while we were here for the Irish holiday that Alice has planned.” She said in a rush and I let out my breath in a whoosh and attempted a smile.

“Then welcome, I guess,” I said with a nervous giggle and shook her hand.

“No boher blade,” Liam said as he joined his mate. “Take her handy.”

“What?” I asked a little confused.

Maggie giggled and then explained, “He was thankin’ ya fer the welcome and sayin ya had nutin to worry o’er. I love yer author, so creative! I just ne’er see any Irish ones, are ye none?”

“You know Maggie, I’ve never looked before. If you don’t have to hurry off, we could take a look and see what we find.” I offered. “I’d love the help.”

Maggie started jumping up and down excitedly and looked to Siobhan, “Bang on! Mind?”

“Nah, that’d be fine.” Siobhan said and they all looked to me.

“Excellent!” I said and turned back to my desk. “Let me grab a few laptops and I’ll get you guys set up.”

I could hear them muttering to each other behind me while I ran around the lab, but it was far too fast for me to understand a single word. I took a deep breath still trying to get my frantic heart to slow as three monitors flickered to life.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was fun to have foreign visitors in the lab for a little while and I hope the tales they helped me find are ones you’ll enjoy because they all have a little bit of Ireland in them.

This first yarn I have to deal ya is one that’s simply delicious called “This Life” by CaraNo The year is 2010, but ye old traditions are still upheld, especially in those small communities. Boys ask permission to start a courtin’ a girl and marriages are arranged for power or money instead of love. Of course when the boys that come around are the infamous Irish Cullen brothers, Edward and Emmett, there’s a mighty bit of wooing even though the girls have no other choice. That’s not the only thing because they’ll have to come to terms with the very real Cullen lifestyle.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6861614

This second deal is a bit of a lick and a promise titled “What Fills The Eye Fills the Heart” by TwoTwiMoms. One would think that as an erotic romance novelist, Bella would find her roommate’s animalistic “romps” more inspirational than annoying, but she just can’t take it any longer. With laptop in hand, Bella heads out to a local pub to find the inspiration she needs. At the pub, she meets a sexy, Irish bartender named Edward, who unknowingly drives her to a delicious distraction. Will this be a romance to last longer than a single chapter?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6956775

This third little bit is as short as the mythical creature in it, but won’t leave you wanting, called “A Real Boy” by Saritadreaming. It’s St. Patties day and while Alice and Emmett are busy getting the house ready for a very green celebration, Edward’s getting into a “little” trouble of his own, as he goes in search of a Leprechaun. Yes, they do exist. He just doesn’t realize the consequences of the wish he’s about to make.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5872364

My final deal will take you back an age and it’s titled, “She Was His First” by LJ Summers. This is a Mythical Celtic tale set in 500 B.C. and Edward is The Emrys - the Immortal. The blood-drinker's legend is well known amongst the people and even though he’s had many wives during his existence, he’s never been drawn to lay with any of them. They’ve simply been companions, but at the encouragement of one girl he brought back from the brink of death, he now seeks a true mate and takes Isa as his bride. Can he love her without killing her, keeping his promise?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6329517

To go along with all these Irish yarns, I think I’d recommend this drink called a “Celtic Twilight”

Ingredients:
1oz Frangelico
1oz Irish Cream
1oz Irish Whiskey

Mixing Instructions:
Mix together with crushed ice in a glass and garnish with mint leaves

The deal has been made. ;)

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday

"My hands, they're strong but my knees were far too weak." Oh, how my knees grow weak at the very thought of my muses and the more I read the more I crave. But thankfully, there's plenty to feed my addiction, so as we burn together Lab Tech Andi will always try to help fight back the flames. Following the sounds floating through the forest to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the heart-breaking beat of "Set Fire to the Rain" as sung by Adele and the password is "Burning". Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was still at least a mile away from the shack, but even with my very human ears, I could make out the faint wailing of a female voice. The closer I got, the wailing turned into indistinct words, and then eventually into a clear melody. I parked my car when I finally made it all the way to the little building in the middle of the woods and got out.

I could visibly see the rattling of the windows from the loud music that was fighting to escape the confines of the shack. With a great deal of caution, I approached the door and pushed it open, the music nearly knocking me over. In front of the still open door, I dropped everything I had in my heads, throwing them over my ears in a vain attempt to block out any of the noise and made my way toward the source of this torture. I gathered up all the strength I had in me and swiftly shot out my right hand, extending my index fingers and pressing the power button, ceasing all sound.

Silence.

The music had been so loud, that once I'd turned it off, I couldn't hear anything. Not the birds, or crickets, or the sound of footsteps behind me, so when I felt a hand come to land on my shoulder, it all but stopped my heart completely.

I turned to see a much taller Nessie standing behind me and I could see her mouth moving, but I couldn't hear a single word. "What?" I yelled in her direction. And she looked at me confused, and then held up a single finger signaling me to wait. I stood still as she walked to stand directly in front of me and placing her palm on the side of my face, stealing my vision.

Suddenly, I was standing there looking at the both of us like we were on a TV screen.

"You turned off my music." Nessie stated very clearly.

"IT WAS TOO LOUD," I shouted back at her, still trying to compensate for my hearing loss. In the vision, my mouth didn't move though and I started to laugh. She frowned a little, so I calmed my laughter and attempted to talk to her in a normal tone. "Nessie, it was way too loud. Why are you listening to it in here anyway?"

"Jake got me Adele's album a few weeks ago and I really love it," she explained, a smile replacing her frown. "But the songs make Mom and Dad sad, so they won't let me play it. Then I remembered that no one would be here for a while, so came here." She looked down as if she was ashamed and dropped her hand.

I experienced a little bit of vertigo as my vision returned, slamming me back into my own body and I grabbed the counter. "O.K. then! I'll make a deal with you," I explained and she nodded her head to let me know she understood. "You can play your music here so long as you play it at a reasonable level. Deal?"

She squealing and hugged me quickly, then dashed around me to turn down the volume. She pressed play and the next thing I heard is Adele's voice belt out "I let it fall, my heart..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Surrounded by Nessie's latest obsessions, I found it interesting at the number of fics I found with the same title. Therefore, all the dealings this week have been inspired by one song and all three are completely different, which I found absolutely fascinating. Enjoy!

This first version of “Set Fire to the Rain” is by the ever talented One Brave Lamb. In this alternate New Moon canon tale, Bella was broken after Edward left her. She’s wallowed in misery, until a startling revelation changed everything. "He left me. He lied. He broke my heart and acted as if he simply didn't care. But, simply stated, I let him." Now, whether they can hear her or not, she’s going to tell the Cullen’s exactly how much they hurt her. What she never expected, was for Alice to show up before she could press send. This fic has some interesting twists in it as it plays with the original story line.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6836434

This next inspired version of “Set Fire To The Rain” is by the lovely LoveRob. In her amazing fic Bella loves Edward, of course. In fact, she’s loved him since they were fuck buddies years earlier. Now they work in the same place and he makes it quite obvious that he hates her being there. He even goes so far as to stop any chances for career opportunities. Is he for real? How will they cope? This fic has some amazing unexpected turns and travels all over the world. Don’t be surprised if your want to smack this Edward a time or two though.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7299286

Lastly, this wonderful version of “Set Fire to the Rain” is by the amazing SunshineGal3. This fic was a beautiful tale about, Bella, a woman whose job is to bring people back from the brink of self-destruction. She loves her job, but today she was given the file for an alcoholic with so very little information, she doesn’t know how to help him. That is unless she meets him and vows that she will not give up on him, she will find a way to reach him, if it’s the last thing she does. My favorite thing about this fic is that it didn’t rush into Bella and Edward falling in love. Bella is a confident character and her kindness really shines through.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7056954

Keeping with this burning theme, I think we should have a fiery drink, called a “Burning Sky”. Drink with caution, you set this drink on fire!

Ingredients

1/2 oz. Amaretto
1 oz. Irish Cream (Bailey's)
1 oz. Curacao, blue
1/2 oz. Rum, overproof/151 proof
1/2 oz. Sambuca

Mixing Instructions

In a cocktail glass pour the Sambuca, Amaretto, and 151. In a highball glass pour the blue Curacao and Bailey's. Light the contents of the cocktail glass on fire, add the contents of the highball glass. Drink through a straw, and don't catch yourself on fire.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” You need a distraction?  Heaven knows I need a distraction, so who better to distract you than a few tales Lab Tech Andi’s mixed together with a dash of Dr. Seuss.  Feel free to skip (I promise we won’t laugh) to the blue door behind the shack, knock the rockin’ guitar beat of “You’re a Mean One, My Grinch” as played by Gary Hoey and the password is “Green Ham”.  Be Safe!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“It’s a very special day! Do you know why? Can you guess?” Alice stood there before me with her hair all a mess.

“What’s the matter, Alice? You never look this way!  What could possibly be so special about this cold and rainy day?” I ran to get her a towel and a brush for her hair.  She finished with them quickly then through them in a chair.

“It’s Dr. Seuss’s Birthday! He’d be a hundred and eight today!” She giggled as she continued, “Did you know I met him once, by the way?”
“You met Dr. Seuss?” I asked quite surprised.

“Oh, yes! He was funny and called me pint-sized.”

“Everyone calls you that, just because you’re so small, but we’d love you just the same even if you were ten feet tall.”  She looked very excited as we sat down together, then I decided to ask, “So what brings you out in this weather?”

She fidgeted a little then looked at me with glee, “I had to ask so that you might come and see ‘The Lorax’ with me.”

“Sure, Alice! You know I can’t pass up a cartoon! But why not take Nessie, or Bella, or Emmett, the buffoon?”

“Nessie thinks it’s stupid. The rhyming drives her crazy.  Then the futures for Bella and Emmett are hazy.  They must be hanging out with Jacob and the pack.  Or maybe they just went out to get a little snack.  But I hate going to the movies all alone,” she explained quite clearly in her soothing bell tone.

“Ok, well I have a treat for you! There’s a Dr. Seuss version of Twilight, I bet you never knew.”

“Oh! How exciting!” she bounced in her seat. “Will you tell me? Can I see it?” So, I got to my feet.

“Here it was posted as a comment on this page.  For what if Twilight was written by authors of an older age?”

Twilight, by Dr. Seuss (Unicycle really)
Jake likes a girl. Her name is Bella.
Bella likes a different fella.

See this vamp? This is Ed.
Ed is pale. Ed is dead.

Ed saved Bella from a van.
Ed must be a special man.

Ed won't kill boys. He won't kill girls.
Ed gets fed on deer and squirrels.

This is James. He's a tracker.
He's a sort of vamp attacker.

James hunts Bella for a thrill.
Will Ed kill him? Yes, he will.

But James gave her a little bite.
Will she be a vamp? She might!

Edward fixes Bella's cut.
She won't be a vampire.
But...

She becomes one. Read some more.
She's a vampire in book 4.

“I really liked that one! Are there any more?” Alice asked me animatedly as I looked towards the floor.

“I’ve only found one other tale that has that Seussical rhyme, so I think I’ll pimp it here in this little post of mine.”

“Perfect!” Alice shouted which startled me just a bit.  “If you hurry up, I’m certain we be able to make it!”

“Make what?” I asked Alice just a little confused.

“The movie, silly Andi!” and she looked quite amused.

“If you help me, I know we’ll quickly get this knocked out.”

Then she stood with a wink, “Then let’s stop messing about.”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

So, Alice helped me pick out all of my stories and the writers below deserve all of the glories for putting in so much time for their work, reading them all was just a small perk.

This first deal of mine carries my Seussical theme, with the title of “Couplet Adventures” by BEtwilightLOVE that’s simply a dream.  This is little oneshot holds several short tales, to rhyme each line not a single one fails. There is humour, suspense, and romance, too. So peek inside, you might like the view!
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4772216/

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.” ~Dr. Seuss

In my second little deal, the characters have lots of questions.  In this tale titled “Leave the Pieces” by heather dawn it has lots of suggestions.  When Edward Masen enlisted in the U.S. Army at age eighteen, he had no idea that he would meet the love of his life before he got out. Tragedy strikes and Edward will be faced with a decision. Fight for his Country or fight for her heart?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5651526/

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” ~Dr. Seuss

In my final little deal, has time finally run out?  In this tale called “Too Little, Too Late” by capitalab, love take a different route.  After high school graduation, Edward takes advantage of Bella. Five years later, she struggles as a single mom with little help from Edward. But when Edward sees Bella moving on, how far will he go to save his relationship with his son? With Bella?
http://w.fanfiction.net/s/6766438/

Continuing with my Seussy like post I think, we must have a Dr. Seussy like drink.  Look here! Look here! See what I found! “Green eggs” all around!

Ingredients
    1 shot Irish Cream (Bailey's)
    1/2 shot Creme de Menthe, green
    1 shot Vodka

"No man knows till he experiences it, what it is like to feel his own life-blood drawn away into the woman he loves."  What is it about the words that draw us in? Makes us want? I know you want too and Lab Tech Andi’s found tales you’ll crave.  So walk with much caution to the blue door at the back of the shack, pound the heavy beat of “Bring me to Life” by Evanescence and the password is “Undead”.  Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was curled up in a mountain of pillows, not blinking.  I heard a masculine voice behind me whisper, “Is she okay?”

There was a tap tap tapping filling the space that was absent of all other sounds.  A female voice answered, “Oh she’s fine.”

“But she’s not blinking or moving.  Hell, she’s barely breathing and I hear her whimper every once in a while.  Have you checked her?”

“Listen to her pulse, she’s perfectly fine.”  Then I heard a chair scrape across the floor followed by an exasperated sigh, “it’s that story she’s reading.  She’s been like that since yesterday. ”

There was now a different tapping, one of light footsteps crossing the room and then a door opened and closed.  A slight breeze rustled through my hair breaking my concentration.  I looked up to find a bottle of water dangling in front of my face.  “Oh! Thanks Alice!” I said taking the bottle from her and tipping it back.

“You’re welcome” she replied then I heard her walk back over to the desk.

“That’s so weird!” I heard the voice again and turned my head to see Emmett staring at me like a lab rat.  I raised my hand and waved to him then turned back to my story.

“It’s usually the smutty vamp tales that make her like that,” Alice told Emmett.  “She’ll be back to normal tomorrow.”

“Hmmm,” Emmett thought aloud, “maybe this is a story I should get Rose to read.”

Another breeze whooshed passed me and the room was once again filled with the tap tap tapping from a keyboard.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I’m usually so wrapped up in human tales that I have a hard time finding vampire tales I like, so I thought I’d bring you a few really fun and wonderful alternate universe vampire fics.  Enjoy!

The first tale is one that will really take a bite out of you called “The Singer and The Sorrow” by MG2112.  There are some tortures so evil that one lifetime of suffering is just not enough.  If there is one person who knows this, it’s Edward Cullen.  As if simply being a monster was not enough, he’s been cursed, making it impossible for him to be reunited with his soul.  But this time it’s different, this time she’s different.  This time he can talk to her, this time she knows him and this time instead of him trying to find her, she’s spent her whole life trying to find him.  Maybe this will change everything.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5924138

My next vampire was found in a light hearted tale titled “The Red Eye” by badjujube.  Edward had declared that there’s no way he’s go through high school again, so since vampires never have to sleep and are very observant, he’s going into business as a private eye.  In this line of work it's important to maintain a good relationship with local law enforcement and its representatives. Therefore, the Cullen’s have always been cooperative and polite with Chief Swan.  But now that the chief’s daughter has returned he’ll have to work extra hard to be on his best behavior and try not to drink her blood not matter how enticing she smells.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6496106

Finally, I found an excellent vampire alternate universe tale titled “The Meteor” by BixieR.  Aro has grown bored and wants the Denali clan to come for a visit, but there’s a small problem, they’ve added a gifted member that they don’t want the Volturi to know about just yet and they don’t want to leave her alone.  So what the Cullen’s once thought was going to be an ordinary day turns into some entirely different.  What they find is a young girl with the control of a much older vampire who has closed herself off to everything that this new world holds.  What’s keeping her from embracing this new life?  Will Edward be able to help her recover from her own mind?  Will the Denali’s be able to keep their secret from Aro?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5799255

To go along with all these biting stories, I’ll think we need something with a little bite of its own an “Irritable Grizzly”

½ oz Cinnamon Schnapps
1 oz Raspberry Vodka
6-8 oz Ginger Ale
Splash of Rose’s Grenadine for color

Pour everything into a collins glass. Stir gently. Fill with ice and garnish with a cherry.

“I hope you've got enough sleep these last 18 years 'cause you won't be getting anymore for a while.” If you’re even half as excited, I know you won’t be getting any sleep either. But just in case you’ll actually be waiting a few days to see the movie Lab Tech Andi has picked out a few Valentine’s for you to enjoy while you wait. So skip or bounce, if you must, to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the energetic beat of “I’m so excited” by The Pointer Sisters and the password is “It’s Time”. Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“It’s here!! It’s FINALLY HERE!!”

“What’s here?”

“The DVD RELEASE DAY!! IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!” I was literally bouncing off the walls with excitement. Emmett just laughed at me.

“Wow Alice, She’s like a human version of you, only taller.” Emmett laughed while Alice glared back at him.

“There’s no way I’m that bad! What did she do? Eat an entire bag of coffee beans?” Alice shook her head.

“I thought she was going to help us plan something for Valentine’s Day, but Andi looks like she needs a sedative.”

Alice moved to stand in front of me and grabbed my arms to stop me from jumping, “Stop it, you’re making me tired and I don’t get tired.”

“But it’s here, Alice!!” I yelled at her.

“Technically, it’s not until tomorrow, so you need to calm yourself down woman! There’s a post to put out!” Alice tried to reason with me. It really wasn’t any use though.

“Semantics, Alice! Soon, I’ll have my DVD and I’ll be watching that for 2 days straight, so stop being Debbie Downer, I’m too excited!!!” I started bouncing again the second she let go and again she shook her head at me.

“Well, do you have any stories to recommend this week? I mean it is Friday.”

“Yes, Alice. I have stooooorrrrriiieeeeessssss!” I sang to her.

Emmett laughed again and then asked, “And are you going to help me with my Valentine plans for Rose?”

I jumped over in his direction, “Yep!” Then tapped his nose with my finger; he laughed again.

“It’s like she’s high.” He said to Alice ignoring me.

“I think she’ll get it all done if we just leave her alone. Let’s go,” Alice said turning toward the door.

“But what if she does something funny?” Emmett asked following Alice.

“She won’t, trust me.” Then they shut the door behind them and left me to my jumping.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ok, I realize that it’s the weekend before Valentine’s Day and with the DVD release of Breaking Dawn coming out, you’re time will be limited, so all my deals this week are light and short, but not all are lemon free. Enjoy!!

My first little valentine is a spicy little tale called “Boycotting Valentine's Day” by jennlynnfs. As Valentine's Day approaches, Bella’s choosing to hang out with her best friend Alice instead of trying to settle on any of the morons that cross her path on a day to day basis. Together they decide to boycott Valentine's Day and Non-Valentine's Day activities are planned, including no boys. But what if Alice's brothers, Edward and Emmett, come along. They don’t count, right?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5681116

My next little valentine is a fluffy oneshot tale called “Be Mine, Miss Valentine?” by Raptured Ignorance. In this all human tale, Valentine’s Day at Forks High School isn't usually this fun and Bella isn’t one for the romantic stuff. But roses mean everything, and a special note leaves Miss Bella Swan breathless. This is such a cute fic and parts of it will make you wonder if it’s really AU.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4804962

My third little valentine is a jaded tale called “Love and Other Lies” by BookWorm4Life17. Bella’s a cynical writer who’s attempting to pen a novel on what "really" happens when people fall in love, but considering she’s never really been in love, spends her time people watching at her favorite café. Edward, her best friend's British cousin and a romantic, is amused at her negative view of love. He befriends the young writer in attempt to change her mind. Will his efforts pay off?
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6121340

My final little valentine comes in the form of this short story titled “My Personal Valentine” by ronOReds. Forks High is running a special Personal Ad column in their newspaper right before Valentine’s Day. Will advertising for a date help Bella, Alice, and Rosalie find their special someone in time for Valentine’s Day!
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3922925

To go along with all these lovey dovey tales, I’d recommend a “Toasted Marshmallow Amore”

Ingredients
3/4 oz Kahula
3/4 oz Ameretto
3/4 oz Bailey's
1-1/4 oz Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
2 oz Ice Cream

Mixing directions

Been experiencing any déjà vu lately?  Feeling like you’re in a runt?  Never fear, Lab Tech Andi’s been researching fresh deals to brush off the blah blah of the everyday routine.  So, skip down the path to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the upbeat tune of the “Pennsylvania Polka” and the password is “New Day”.  Be Safe!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.”
“It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?”
“Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.”
“That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here's the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a "big blizzard thing!"
“Yessss, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today is especially exciting.”
“Especially cold!”
“Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips... “
“On their chapped lips...”
“On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?”
“Punxsutawney Phil!”
“That's right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's...”
“GROUNDHOG DAY!”

Ok, it was funny the first time.  It was even funny the second and third time, but when Emmett restarted that moronic movie for the 18th time I’d had it.

“Emmett! It’s not even Groundhog’s Day anymore!!! Can’t you watch something else?” I begged.

“But Rose won’t let me watch it over there!”

“I’m beginning to agree with her.”

This whole thing started yesterday morning when Emmett burst into the lab yelling “GROUNDHOG DAY” waving a disc in the air.  I recognized the movie right away and since I’d always thought it was funny, I agreed to let him play it.  Of course that was before I realized he was going to torture with it.

The first time through, I couldn’t even concentrate are Emmett and I laughed ourselves sick.

The second time, he recited all the lines along with the movie.

The sixth time, Jasper came over and they actually played out the scene where Phil runs into Ned on the sidewalk every time it played on the screen.  Alright, I must admit that was actually sort of funny.

After the eighth time, I was getting tired and Emmett started throwing snowballs at me when the characters started to do that in the movie.  And I started to yell at him, at which point Alice actually saved me for a few hours to get some sleep.  Then he woke me up this morning by playing it again and the first few times through I was able to tune it out, but now I was starting to lose my mind.

“Please Emmett! I just can’t take it! I’m losing my mind!” I began to bang my head on the table.

“Fine,” he sighed as he started to dig around in a cabinet. “Hey, here’s a copy of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, wanna watch that?” He came over and waved the movie in front of my face.

“Just so I don’t have to hear about a weather predicting rodent.”
So he headed over to the player and slipped the disc in.  Ah, finally something new.

How a vampire with perfect recall can find enjoyment out of watching a movie that many times is beyond me, but since I had my own repeating event, all my deals this week have a repeating theme, but I’ll spare you the same torture.

Funny how the past tends to repeat itself, like it does in this little tale called “The New Kids” by A.Ash.  It’s been 7 years since Renesmee’s birth and the Cullen family has decided it’s time to relocate and start high school again.  For Nessie, this will be the first time she’ll be surrounded by a normal human existence, which is making the rest of the family nervous, but she couldn’t be more excited.  However, she’s been keeping Jacob at a distance only acknowledging his friendship and overlooking his desire for more.  Will she learn to love Jacob the way he wants her to? Or will she meet someone at school and repeat the history that brought her Mom and Dad together?  This is a very innocent story and the humor in it will have you rolling.  It’s so very cute to see Nessie grow up.

Sometimes, doing the same thing over and over again only gives you the same thing, unless you’re willing to make a few changes like the characters in this story called “The Appointment” by BadJuJuBoo.  Bella and Edward have the perfect life, a beautiful home, a successful career, every need fulfilled.  Or is it?  Things are not always what they appear to be because they hide what’s really wrong.  Bella hides behind her personal indiscretions, while Edward hides behind his work, but when the pieces start to fall away, Edward decides therapy is the way to go.  As I said before, things are not always what they appear to be… Be warned, this story is hot and the lemons are graphic, but they have purpose, which is rare for a tale requiring so many cold showers.

It’s the little things in life like in this tale titled “The Butterfly Effect” by LyricalKris.  Edward's fall from grace destroyed not only his life, but the lives of those he loved the most. When he passes out teetering on the edge of total destruction and wakes up 17 again, how many times will he have to repeat the same day to set things right?  My favorite thing about this story was Edward’s realization of his geekiness.  Aren’t all teenage boys kinda geeky and clueless?  Maybe going back with the memory of his future will help out this time, of course maybe not.

Ingredients
2 oz. Whiskey, straight grain
5 oz. 7-up
1 wedge Lemon

Mixing Instructions
A classic whiskey recipe. Use a highball glass, and fill it with cubed ice. Add the whiskey and 7-up, stir slightly, and garnish with a lemon wedge.

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday

“Out on your own, Cold and alone again. Can this be what you really wanted, baby?” If you just don’t want to be alone tonight, Lab Tech Andi will always be here for you! Just grab something comfy and head to the blue door at the back of the shack, knock the rhythm of “Lacrymosa” by Evanescence and the password is “Amadeus”. Be Safe!

I hit play on my iPod and the room immediately filled with the sound of violins. I curled up on one end of couch, letting the music drowned out all the other sounds in the lab and continued reading my story. The combination of the music and the story I was reading made me completely oblivious to anything going on around me. So you can imagine my shock when my music was suddenly cut off.

“HEY! I was listening to that!” I turned in the direction of my stereo and saw Edward holding my iPod and scrolling through my music files.

“No you weren’t, no one really listens to that crap! Mozart was an imbecile, and I refuse to let anyone be fooled his odd fame!” he explained and then mumbled. “There must be some Bach or Chopin on here! Don’t these humans know anything about GOOD classical music?”

Knowing that I didn’t have to actually speak, I got up and glared as I walked toward him. For your information, I happen to like Mozart. Put it back! As I raised my hand to take it from him he flashed to the other side of the room, still scrolling through my files.

“EDWARD! This is my lab! It happens to be Mozart’s Birthday today and I’m listening to my music! NOW PUT IT BACK!!!” I yelled knowing there was no way I’d be able to catch him if he decided to run all over the lab. He glared at me from across the room and that’s when Alice’s tinkling laugh floated through the opening door.

“I’m so glad I didn’t get here earlier,” she skipped over to Edward plucking the device from his fingers and danced over handing it back to me. “That was way too funny! Come on, Edward. Let’s leave the humans to their music.”

“But it’s horrid and I can hear it for miles!” he exclaimed following after her.

“Hm,” she paused briefly, appearing to be looking for something. “Jazzy’s getting out his guitar, want to play something worthwhile?”

“Oh, anything to be away from here before she turns that noise back on.” And they sped off into the forest.

As quickly as I could, I plunked it back in the dock, turning it all the way up. That will teach him, I thought and giggled to myself. That brought me to all my dealings for today, whether Edward likes the songs or not, they all have a little music in them, which I hope you’ll enjoy.

In this classically canon story titled “Music Lessons” by locqua, Edward and Bella explore the many magical qualities of music and the ways that it can be quite an aphrodisiac, even for vampires. When Edward shares his passion for classical music with Bella, they discover a whole new world together just weeks before their nuptials. The first half of this tale is a multiple chapter missing moment tale with the remaining chapters just fun and sexy one-shots. I always forget how much I really miss the playfulness that existed in the books between Bella and Edward until I find an author that gets it and reminds me that their book personas are so much less angsty. You’ll love reading through this just as much as I did.

Here is an adorably innocent tale called “For You I Will” by Xo-SARCASTIC-oX. For several years, Edward Cullen has been helping his mother teach music to young kids in their family garage, but if he has to struggle with one more reluctant 8 year-old he’s going to lose his mind. In an attempt to find music students more his age, Edward decides to put up a few flyers around school, but he’s been nearly invisible walking the halls, so his expectations are pretty low. Imagine his surprise when the girl of his dreams, the ‘IT’ girls notices his flyer and takes down his number. This is a quick read and it’s very cute. I love geeky Edward stories.

You’ll not want to miss a single note of this beautiful and heartbreakingly sweet tale titled “Music of the Heart” by wmr1601. From a very early age, music has been Bella’s sanctuary and the only thing that has brought love into her life in return. However, when she finally draws up the courage to escape her crumbling marriage, she’ll be forced to leave all her music and those she loves behind. But when she hears the music again, is it really fate showing her the way? Has her past really let her go to let her be happy? My favorite thing about this story is that the Charlie is a complete opposite; he owns a restaurant and knows how to cook!! You’ll love it!

And finally, a little Mozart inspired tale called, “A Little Night Music” by katinki. Bella, once broken and scared, finds her only comfort in a rented sound studio playing the piano late into the night. Across the hall a kindred spirit plays along and calls out to its mate. Will these two be able to handle the attraction that pulls them towards one another? Will they burn up in the flames of their pasts?
