Info~Girl, for one thing. No one ever mentions that on their pages..... Anyway, yeah. I'm a girl, and this is my Twilight story. September started, and so did the auditions for the play. Little did I know that this was the beginning of a road to Twilight. I auditioned, and yay me!, got the leading female role. This was where I met my group of friends; Gen, (pronounced like Jen) Theresa, Victoria, *what a coincidence* Kyle, and Ryan. Now, my friends are all bookworm-y type people, so we share a common love. ^_^ Our school has a "Lunch Bunch" program, where kids who love reading and books can come to the library for discussions while eating lunch. THis was where everything started. At every Lunch Bunch, and during/after the play, V, T, R, and K would talk endlessly about Twilight. I had seen people reading it, and had seen Eclipse at the local Waldenbooks, but never read it. And when I found out it was a vampire book, my first thought was, mistakenly, about coffin-sleeping vampires. Then, Gen and I were in class one day, and she says to me, "How about we try reading Twilight?" I agreed, and we put our names down on the list for it. She got her copy first, then I got mine. And my Twi-hard side became known. I couldn't-literally couldn't-put it down. I had heard about books people couldn't put down, and I thought, "Oh, yeah, right!" But I found out it was true. For the whole time while reading it, I walked around in a highly pleasant, Twilight-induced fog. The only thing on my mind was what had happened in the book; my other senses, such as seeing and hearing what was going on in reality, were destroyed beyond measure, and I could only see and hear what was happening in this fantastical book. Only when people talked to me did I, very unwillingly, snap to my senses. Floating along in this dreamy-like state, I continued to read...and read...and read. After finishing Breaking Dawn, my grandmother came over for the day. Now, she was going to California on her yearly trip, and had a 6-hour flight to look forward to. I, having recently purchased my own copy of Twilight, gave it to her, saying, "Read it. Best book EVER. You won't regret it." And thus, another Twi-hard maniac was introduced. After buying New Moon and giving it to said grandmother, I gave Twilight to my own mother, repeating what I had said to Grandma. And.... oh, look, now Mom's hooked too. Now Grandma dashed to the store to get Eclipse, and Mom's cracking open New Moon with a smile on her face. And here I am, thinking smugly to myself, "This is why people should listen to me more....."

Title: Chapter 17: Breaking up is Hard to Do!
That was absolutely brilliant. *stands up and applauds vjgm* It was hilarious all the way through. The best *and extremely clever, too, I laughed when i read it* part was Stephenie, the secretary, who had the apple and the dream about the Cullens! Because, *hehe* you know, it came to her in a dream, and the apple....and vampires...*trails off realizing i sound like a prattling idiot* Well, anyway, hysterical. Can't wait for another story!

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
<I> Oh my gosh! </i> I have been reading this but just now took the time to review! This reminds me of what I said to my friend one day...."Is it bad if I want Bella and Edward to be together, but wouldn't complain if Jacob went with Bella, and also if Alice and Jasper broke up I'd want Bella to be with Jasper, but I'm also Team Switzerland because whoever she chooses would be fine for me?" I honestly have no idea what team I am...I've always been a fan of unlikely love, like 'Why, Elizabeth, instead of choosing Will, can't you pick Jack? He's a PIRATE! ARRR! You guys have so much more chemistry, and I'm sick of Cinderella happy endings! Plus I saw the kiss at the end of Dead Man's Chest, so don't argue with me, missy! You clearly love him more! SO THERE.' Anyway....this has turned into a rant. Love it, and need more! C ya!

Title: Chapter 1: The Angel Illusion
Oh my gosh.... I've always wondered if Edward missed Bella as much as she missed him. (I know he did, but New Moon never said the extent of his sadness, in detail.) And this was beautiful. It was perfect detail, and this fits perfectly with what he said when he came back. Having Edward be in pain like that is a mirror to what Bella is feeling; which I thought was absolutely brilliant. Well done. *stands up and applauds* Author's Response: Ooh, an online standing ovation! Never seen that one before, thanks!
Summary:
Fifteen year old Elisa was once an everyday Twilight fangirl, but now, inexplicably, she's become a part of Edward and Bella's world. Her struggle to fit into her new life, however, may become a fight just to survive at all as a betrayal turns a frightening premonition into a grim reality and the Cullens discover that even their best efforts may not be enough to keep either Bella or Elisa safe...
AU version of Breaking Dawn.

Title: Chapter 3: The Best Day Ever
Heyyyy.....Me again. ^_^ You're so lucky you have RENT! I heard 'Seasons of Love' on American Idol, liked it, and bought it off iTunes. And the album was listed as "RENT: Music from the Motion Picture." So, when I went to the vid store with my brother, I saw RENT, and rented it.
You're so right.....Angel broke my heart watching it. I cried when she *or he* died.....It was so sad, but such a beautiful storyline.....My fave scene is where they're dancing on the table, and Maureen and JoAnn are dancing and she's like, "Hey, mister, she's my sister!" to Benny, and he says, "Sisters?" "We're close." ^_^
I yelled at the TV when Meme disappeared, *'NO! YOU AND ROGER ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER! COME BACK!'*
Well, this turned into a musical-based rant. Sawee. :( But, I'm ur constant, so get used to me. ^_^

Title: Chapter 2: Random Acts
Hey Avalonia! I don't think I reviewed Extraordinary before, but I read all of it and I adored it, without a doubt! I was waiting for somebody to post a story like that here, and finally there was one *yours* and it was beautiful and wonderful! So, I heard this was the sequel and *of course* I just had to read it! I can't believe Elisa got shot.....or did she? Boy, that girl has bad luck; being run over and now shot? But she's like me; we both have our heads in the clouds. *see username-'iliveinfantasies'* I'm always daydreaming about Harry Potter or Twilight or something, and right now for me reality is paled by daydreams.....until I get a clue.... ;) Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to review and I am SO happy you liked it! Elisa does have some truly awful 'Bella-like' bad luck sometimes...poor girl is in for a tough time but I think down the road life's going to get a lot better for her. Hehehe...like you and Elisa, I also always have my head in the clouds...probably why I bump into so much stuff...

Sorry, I'm bored. ^_^ But that's not why I'm reviewing. (deep innermost thought)---> *Or is it?*
I have RENT songs running thru my head. *FYI, RENT is a musical; if you haven't read it you should seriously go and, er, rent RENT. You won't regret it, I swear on Edward, and THAT, Avalonia, is a promise I do NOT make lightly. *starts Tango-ing with nobody* "Feel like going insane, got a fire in your brain, and you're thinking of drinking gasoline/As a matter of fact/Honey, I know this act. It's called The Tango Maureen!"
*slash {/} = different person talking*
Um....how about this. I end this ridiculous rant, and you, Avalonia, go to your local movie place and rent RENT.
~Ciao! ilif (iliveinfantasies)
Author's Response: Rent RENT?! Oh, no need! :D I am the proud owner of my very own shiny and well played RENT dvd and the soundtrack which I have completely memorized. I wish I could have seen it live but the movie version is fabulousness itself. Even if Angel breaks my heart each and every time I watch it.

I SOSOSOSOSO can't wait to see what happens, and Eliza is suffering so much...... :`( I would suffer too, if it was me..... I hope she finds her happily ever after, no matter where it is.

Hey, Avalonia. Remember what I said about Rent? Well, I bought more Rent songs off iTunes, and one in particular I'm listening to..."How we gonna pay, how we gonna pay,how we gonna pay, last year's rent?" ^_^
I'm so sorry.....am I annoying you with commenting? I mean, if I am, you can tell me to back off and I'l review once each chapter, but if I'm not, then full speed ahead on this gravy train! Or is it gravy boat.....?

Title: Chapter 8: Forever
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!ONE!!!!11!!!ELEVEN!!!
FI-NAH-LEE!! I've been waiting for something like that to happen! In Breaking Dawn, or any of the other books, I wish she'd have told him that, "And you're really so sure that I don't understand what I'm doing? That I haven't thought this out? Edward, at some point you have to give me a little credit here. You can't read my mind, so stop assuming that you know what I have and have not considered. I know exactly what I'm giving up. My parents, my human future, children, growing old,...and if you don't think that I understand how precious those things are then you've seriously underestimated me. What you don't understand is that I want you and I want eternity to spend at your side more. I don't ever want to have to be without you, Edward...it would make everything else meaningless. Everything." TOTALLY MY SENTIMENTS!! Can you read minds, too? Because that was EXACTLY to a T what I was thinking, and it's about time he realized that......I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE, NO, ADORE, EDWARD CULLEN, but he needs to stop thinking she doesn't know what she's giving up. But I still love him anywayz ^_^
LOL, my fave line was "With my crazy luck, the first time I went to King's Cross Station I'd stumble, hit my head, and wake up at Hogwarts. Just imagine all the trouble I could cause with a wand..." Funny, because people are always comparing the two, asking the Eternal Question: "Which is better, Twilight or Harry Potter? Vampires or wizards?" Plus, the mental image of Elisa running into Ron, Hermione, and Harry, brandishing a wand.....*gigglesnort!* She's probably Avada Kedavra them......*gigglesnorts again and tries not to choke on pink lemonade* That would be an excellent idea for a spin-off.....they all take a trip to London, she actually wakes up at Hogwarts, hiliarity ensues, she makes it back to the Cullens and stays with them fo'evah and eva.
*cricket, cricket*
Well, a girl can dream, can't she?
Author's Response: I am really glad you liked that conversation. Two things that bothered me had always been, first of all, that Edward was so reluctant to make Bella a vampire, and two, that she was so willing to force him to do it anyway, knowing how strongly he felt that it was wrong. This was my way to try and put those issues to bed - they can't be completely resolved with one conversation but I needed them to make their peace with it. LOL, Elisa at Hogwarts...the thought boggles my mind. It would be funny though. No, I think she's pretty good where she's at plus I have all this drama planned.... :p Thanks again for your review! :D

Title: Chapter 15: Wedding Daze
Oh, HUZZAH!! FINALLY, ALL ROADBLOCKS ARE GONE, and they can finally get hitched, tie the knot, et cetera, et cetera.
That, my friend, THAT was what I imagined Tanya to be--a skanky, hooker-type, motherf-- *gets hand slapped over mouth*
And, finally....the day we were all waiting for. The wedding, huzzah, hurray, yippee, et cetera!!!
I hope there's not any more bad things on the way--because I already know what I'll say if bad things happen: "Dangit, Jim!" Yeah, my friend *let's just call her 'B.'* says "Dangit, Jim!" when nothing goes right and it rubbed off......my vocabulary is weird that way. I say stuff like kerr (means cool) dangit jim, gack, (means ahh!) your mom (when someone says something like 'who called?') and OMJ (oh my Jonas). Yep. And that chapter was OMJ-worthy. I just hope this peace lasts long enough.....
But seriously, Tanya not loving Edward, just wanting him as a, pardon my French, "bang buddy," was exactly what I thought she was like. Imagine my disappointment when she was nice. Blech.
P.S. When I read the top, you know, "Thank you to any that are reading this and special thanks to iliveinfantasies and sideadde for your feedback - it always makes me smile. :)" I was like 'iliveinfantasies.....wait, that's me! Yay!' ^_^
Author's Response: *chuckles* Did I make her sound that bad? Really? I actually like Tanya (I mean, my vision of her.) I always figured she wasn't really a villain; I mean the only thing she ever did 'wrong' was like Edward, and we're all guilty of that. OK, so she tried to wreck the wedding, but still... :D She really does love Edward, but not in 'that way'. Her actions were motivated more out of loneliness than a desire to be malicious. Anyway, I'm just trying to give her some layers here and there. I wrote this chapter before Breaking Dawn came out and I'm glad I did because although I don't think of her as evil, I don't think of her as too nice either, or sitting around wringing her hands waiting for a husband to come along, which is the impression I got of her in BD. I hope you like the next chapter; see, I told you it would lighten up. :p

Title: Chapter 16: Dare You To Move
Ohmygawd...... I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner but I was gone the whole weekend on vacation, but this was delightful to come back to......
First off, I love the song choice. 'Dare You To Move' is one of my all-time favorite songs, and it's on constant rotation on my iPod.
Second, this is what it should have been like in Breaking Dawn. This is how I imagined the wedding, but ti didn't go so beautifully as this.
Third, I love the 'every step I took, I said goodbye' idea. How she says goodbye to Renee, Charlie, her friends...... It's such a beautiful thought and should have been included in BD.
These passages is especially my favorite.....
" Most of all, goodbye to me, Bella from Phoenix, Bella of Forks, human, clumsy, insecure Bella Swan. I'd learned all I could from the me I was right then. Now I was choosing to let her go, to metamorphasis, not just into a vampire, but into an adult, a lover, a fighter, and a wife. Everything was going to change. I wondered what this new Bella would be like. I hoped that I could be proud of her. I hoped that she would be someone who deserved to be as lucky as I knew I was (.....) The time for goodbyes was past now. My future was waiting, and on steady legs and with a soaring heart, I walked forward to meet it. "
How beautiful is that?! This is exactly what I imagined in BD, but all it said was Rosalie doing her hair, walking down the way, saying vows. I'm not saying it was bad/boring, but this is beautiful and should have been what happened. How Bella feels on this--all the terror yet happiness--you convey so beautifully. You definitely have a future in writing, my friend, and I hope the rest is as wonderful as this!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really loved writing this chapter. I was always a very vocal member of Team Bella Gets Vamped back when we didn't know whether it would happen or not, but there's a certain amount of grief and loss in that life path too. She really is giving up an incredible amount, and she's walking away from a lot of good people. I wanted to acknowledge that. I am so glad you got what I was trying to convey; that means I didn't go too far off track. Thanks again for your reviews!

Title: Chapter 17: Bittersweet Symphony
Woohoo! That, my friend, was, as I said before, exactly to a T what should have happened in Breaking Dawn!! I loved the whole "You've already forgot me," "In a different world you and me together," dialogue between Jakey and El *hope you don't mind--nicknames are soo fun!*
LOL, I LOVE delves into the mind of Edward, because his thoughts are so awesome!! I also love watching *or reading....?* him be nervous, because in everything he's so unnervingly, upsettingly, infuriatingly CALM AND COLLECTED AND UNSWERVED BY EVERY LITTLE THING!! I mean, for God's sakes the vampire HAS to get nervous sometimes, and when he does, it's fun to watch-slash-read. Hehe, can't wait to read the wedding night chapter, not because of smut *ugh, gag me with a spoon!* but because I can't wait to read the dialogue. Edward nervous while Bella is perfectly calm is a refreshing change of pace we need to see more of. Well, bye!
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I think the Jacob/Elisa scenes were some of my favorite ever to write. I also love writing Edward - it's fun getting in his head.

Title: Chapter 18: The Storm
This review is a sign of how dedicated I am to this story, because I am 5 hours away from my house and must use my grandparents' computer.
But that's beside the point. Anyway, what I signed in to type was: Wowza, that was perfect. Crystal clear enough that it was apparant what was happening and the feelings at the time, yet vague enough that it wasn't a disgustingly smutty piece of work. In short, it was perfectly clear, yet also perfectly vague, if that makes any sense, and I loved it. Just more testament to how incredibly descriptive and creative you are, my friend. Please keep going on this!!
Author's Response: I missed responding to this one! I'm so sorry. Thank you so much for your comments - it was such a hard chapter to write and I'm so happy you liked it.

Title: Chapter 19: Miles To Go
.........................................
What happened?!?!?! WHY DID EVERYTHINGGOSWIRLYVORTEXISHANDELISASAWTHINGS?!IT'SLIKEONTHEDISCOVERYCHANNELORLIKE SYLVIA BROWN!! AND THE EXCERPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE!!!EXCERPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS FINALLY HERE!!! THE HUNKY CANADA DREAM BOY I'VE BEEN HOPING EXISTED ARRIVED RIGHT ON TIME!!!!!! And the way you wrote it....the way you WROTE IT, Avalonia!! Is there any end to the perfection that is your writing?! I absolutely have to repeat it, HAVE to!!
"Poetry? He wrote poetry? Could it be...a boy that was both pretty and deep? OK, I was definitely riding the train into Crushville now and it was with no small amount of relief. Goodbye, Edward. So long, Jacob Black. It was about damn time I got to crush on someone who hadn't been branded by Bella first."
That is so SO Elisa, saying stuff like 'about time I got to crush on somebody who hadn't been branded by Bella first.' That, my dear friend, that one glorious, yet humourous sentence is enough on its own, coupled wih the fact that my DREAMY CANADIAN BOY WHO I'VE BEEN BEGGING YOU TO CREATE IS NOW FINALLY HERE AND I HOPE HE IS THE PERFECTION OF MY--I mean, Elisa's--DREAMS!!
Author's Response: Hahaha, I think you'll enjoy the next part of the chapter - it's been fun to write, anyway. One Canadian Boy, coming right up! Thanks so much for continuing to read and review!
