"So long ago, I don't remember when

That's when they say I lost my only friend"

One Headlight - The Wallflowers

*************************

I love that group!  We know that Edward is a wallflower but is Bella to or rather would she like to be?  She seemed none to impressed with Mike's offer to hang with him.

So what piece of the puzzle did we get with this chapter?  We know that mom and dad want Edward to hang with his popular cousins, Emmett and Alice Cullen. 

Emmett dates Rosalie with pretty blue eyes and great tits.  He's good looking.  Rosalie is tolerant of Edward because he is part of Emmett's family.

Alice is best friends with Bella.  And she played dress up Ken with Edward.  In the makeover process she purchased an acne product. 

Bella lives with her dad in Forks.  She spent the summer in Florida with her mom.  Mom wants her to live there.  She rescues Edward from Mike the first day of school.  She is upset with her class schedule.  We have to wait for an update to find out why.

Edward is smitten with Bella.  He is having trouble controlling The Big Little Guy.

*************************

I am liking this Edward faults and all.  It would appear that he has found a friend in Bella and with that confidence.   Let's just hope when he becomes the swan that he remembers those that were there for him.

This is an amazing perceptive review.  You're picking out exactly the pieces of the puzzle you need to!  And Tammy's choice of song is so appropos (she does it again in a later chapter!). 

Edward is a misfit new kid rescued by the semi-popular feisty girl, with back-up from his popular cousins.  Bella lives with her dad full time, with only visitation with mum in the summers.  Edward and Bella both are drawn to each other, although to what extent neither we, nor they, know. 

But you will...

I'm so glad you're enjoying our story so far.  We're so smitten by these characters that we couldn't help but writing them, despite the heavy schedules of NLT and RM!

Thanks so much for reviewing!

Ohmygod I love this!!! Ohhh- I cannot wait to see their falling-out and reconnection. I'm sure you guys have something fantastic planned out! Hope updates will be coming frequently! But, you know, no pressure.....

Author's Response:

LOL!  We plan to update once a week from this point on!  We already have the first 9 chapters written and you'll get to see it all, both beautiful and painful!

So glad you're enjoying it!  Thanks so much for reviewing!

I like it so far...seems like it'll be a really great story!

Author's Response:

Author's Response:

Thank you, we will be updating at least once per week for you!

Ahh, I super love it! It's no surprise you got a good reception, this story is great so far. Looking forward to the next chapter ^_^

Author's Response:

=) aw shucks you are too kind!  Thank you so much!

Oooh, ladies....off to such a good start...I'm sooo curious to see just what went down with them all those ago....

Loooving it so far!!!!

Author's Response:

Oh, and you'll definitely find out.  As well as why it affected them as deeply as it did.

Thanks so much for coming to try our new fic!

Great start to the story. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Author's Response:

Awww, thanks so much for your review, we are glad you are enjoying it.

AWW they are so cute together.

i liked that Bella stuck up for Edward with Mike, she so bad ass lol.

Author's Response:

Our Bella is a little more confident than canon Bella, but we like her that way.  Glad you approve!

"I was Dr. Edward Cullen, resident womanizer of Forks." Hmmmm.....After growing up the chubby misfit.....I guess he feels like he has something to prove. I hope he is able to stop chasing other women, and be with Bella...

Author's Response:

Oh, he has a lot of reasons for turning out the way he does, but there's one thing he wants more than proving everyone else was wrong...

Hmmm... I wonder.....

I never did like Mike, even less now!  Love going back in time to get to know what started it all, really good story, like the way its heading!

Author's Response:

Mike's a big bully!  He doesn't get any better in this story!

Thanks so much for giving our little venture a try!

I LOVE it!  I of course am a huge fan of both NLT and Rescue Me, so it comes as no surprise that you both are doing a bang up job on this story!  I am super nervous to see what happens after the prologue, but I loved this flash back.  I also love that Bella and Edward have that unexplained pull towards each other, even when he isn't this super, beautiful man!  I love your Bella, so sweet and yet so fistey! Mike is a douche...of course and the girls with him can just drop dead as far as I am concerned! ;)  I can't wait for BPOV next chapter because it should be interesting to see what happened with moving to Florida or staying in Forks!

I am a bit sad to know that there is going to be a big blow up between Edward and Bella, because they seem so effortless right now! :)  Holding my breath! :)

Hey, Kari! 

Thanks so much for giving this story a chance!

The whole beginning of this story will be "flashbacks".  The first 10 chapters are mostly set in the past as we want to show you why what happened at the end of this time would affect them as profoundly as it does.  We need to show you the how and why before the what happened.

In this version, Charlie has primary custoday and Bella grew up in Forks.  She has summer visitations with Renee.  More on that later.

Hang in there!  We're going to give you lots of good stuff before we drop an anvil on you!
