I just realized that in the book they arrive in Italy on St. Marcus's Day. They don't here because it was the meadow scene that led to this. Is it sad that I said all of Aro's lines out loud in his voice after I read them the first time? And then I went over the origional scene from the movie in my head, with the voices and the movements... "Goodbye, my young friends!" -RPW

Great continuation of the story, I love Adam and Sarah.  Now to get on to the next story!

  Emmet.  Right.  So not good to give him fuel for his jokes! :)

  Bella still slight traumatized with Edward desertion, I see. :-/

  Ah, finally Leia will have her motorcycle ride! :)

  A ride that didn't end so well.  *shakes head to Alice*

  Hmm, with Leia's help, maybe Bella accepts Edward's ring sooner. :)

  Becky, I love your Leia-spiced version of Twilight.  I will read the next story soon.  Thank you! ;)

  You know, I don't understand Rose.  For someone that never really wanted to be a vampire, who would supposedly give anything to be human again, she is the one in the family wich most despises them, specially Bella.  "I didn't know he would react like that. Over a human!"  Frankly, doesn't fit. :-|

  "I resisted the urge to slap my forehead and groan at Bella’s words."  I know the feeling. :)

  Leia intends not to tell Bella about what happened in Volterra?  Good luck with that. :)

  Ah, I wish the scene on the plane, with Alice promising Bella she would turn her herself, and in Leia's POV, was fully presented. :)

  Well, at least the plasma in the other room was spared this time.  :)

  Interesting.  Bella took the initiative about talking Edward to be the one this time. :)

  Eight years? I thought it was ten.

  Nice as always.  I mean, I always liked the Vote's scene.  Leia's influence and the preceding scenes just add up to that. :)

  You misled us!  She didn't feed!

  I know she will be forever haunted by the memory of what she was forced to do, but I believe she followed the best possible option.  She is awesome!  :-)

  Leia really gives good advice.  She said everything we all wanted to tell him when he was being a moron.  Will Edward really listen? :-/

  Well, time to face the family.  But I don't think Carlisle will disappoint. :-|

  Heh, heh!  Funny Leia. :)

  Hmm, it almost degenerated in a fight!  Good thing Aro snapped Jane out of it.

  Ouch!  Sorry Leia got her share, too.  Good thing this pain is just illusory! :-{

  I imagined the collector in Aro would be interested in Leia.  A blind vampire would be a interesting oddity in his 'shelf', if not particularly useful strategically. :)

  Funny Leia again.  I love her thought-comments! :)

  Heidi's return?  Blast!  I was hoping that the altered timing of their arrival in Volterra would spare Bella of THIS memory!  And, I suppose, Leia and the others too. :-{

  Leia waiting till Heidi returns?  With her 'fishing'?  Dinner-time entertainment? Crap!!!

  Oops!  Wolf-Adam in the picture! Our hero! :)

  Well, Sam continues to be prejudiced, but at least they didn't turn against Leia. :-|

  Oh, great, if it's not the cliff diving...

  But its always Rosalie that make the mess! |:(

  And, of course, Bella don't believe what Leia said about Edward.  Must think she just want prevent her from doing something final. :(

  Hmm, this time it will be only Leia and Bella?  Oh, no, no, no, this is not good!

  Whoa!  How didn't Leia see that happening?  Wasn't she looking through Adam's or Bella's eyes?  Well, sure not through his. :)

  He seems to be...enticed.  Am I seeing a new star-crossed affair in the horizon?   :-D

  Adam becoming a Wolf?  Hmm, that would make things even more interesting. X-D

  Leia stretching?  Just part of the charade, of course. :)

  Why is Bella in panic?

  Oh, right, the CD have Edward's music.  Too much for the poor thing! :(

  What?? She is disclosing things to Adam? :-o

  Oh, so this is why.  Well, except that he already figured it out. :)

  Werewolf problem?  What is she talking about exactly that made her reveal herself?

  No romance between then? *sigh* Oh, well, good thing this series isn't over yet, right? ;)

As I said, Leia there, Bella in heaven. :)

  Well, Jacob came around after all.  Good thing Leia seems to be fine hanging with him.  And Jacob too.  I wonder if getting acquainted with Leia will make him a bit softer later, at least toward her.

  Whaaat?  Jacob have a girlfriend?  How did this happen?  Just because Leia stopped Bella from going to La Push with the bikes?  Hmm, I wonder if she will be Jacob's new imprint or if she will be just hurt later, when you-know-who arrives. :-)

  Uh-oh!  Leia made a serious slip with that armload of parts. :-|

  Sarah's brother, huh?  Well, looks like they made a new friend.  I wonder if he will bust Leia.  He seems to believe the legends more than Jacob.  :)

  I wonder how fine Bella really is.  Leia's presence sure makes her happier, and help her to cope, but she is not Edward.  I wonder if she believed Leia's assurances of his love for Bella. :-/

  I was asking myself how Leia did fare in that unfortunate party.  She is so young, after all.  Blessed Carlisle!  :-|

  One year tops?  A fairly accurate guess.  Edward, in New Moon, confessed to Bella he was about to go back to her, before the cliff dive.  Leia really knows him well. :)

  Yes, it's one of Edward's greatest flaws.  He always underestimated Bella.  At least until New Moon.

  New York?  Is the weather there suitable for them?

  Leia.  I love this girl!  Can't wait for her to begin to make the difference against Edward's foolish plan. :)

 

this is one of the best series i have read so far!!! 3 cheers for Liea going against edard and looking after bella :)
