My vision for Breaking Dawn

themadpokerOh my God, do you know what I want to see in Breaking Dawn? Which is never going to happen but I want it anyways?
Charlie finds out Edward's a vampire. Don't know how, it's not particularly important to me. Perhaps he witnesses Edward leaning over a dying deer, face bloody. Perhaps Edward admits it in a fit of self-sacrificial I-can-not-let-Bella-go-through-with-this-becoming-a-vampire-ness. Perhaps Jacob tells him in a last-ditch desperate effort to get Bella and Edward apart. The point is he finds out.
He freaks. His daughter is dating a vampire. A vampire, the freaky bloodsuckers of Dracula legend. Charlie is getting Bella away from Edward and he's getting her away fast.
He packs their bags. Tells Bella they're just taking a vacation because 1. He saw what happened the last time Bella thought she was going to lose Edward forever and 2. A VAMPIRE. There's absolutely no way Bella's going to believe him and he's not going to waste the time trying to convince her. Bella gives in fairly quickly because she's feeling sad and guilty about the thought that she's going to lose Charlie forever once she turns vamp and she wants as much quality father-daughter time as possible.
So they've gone off. California, Toronto, Paris, s'all good (though I've got a natural preference for Toronto of course). They get to the date Charlie told Bella they'd be going home and Charlie says something about something going wrong with their flight and hey, why not extend their vacation a week or two? Bella's getting a weird vibe and she says okay but calls the airport later. She finds out 1) that there was nothing wrong with the flight and 2) no one under the name of Swann registered for any flights to Forks anyways.
So now Bella's feeling awfully suspicious of her Dad. She starts mentioning how much she's looking forward to going home all the time and suggest maybe they take a train or drive, something reliable in case of plane failure again. Charlie is kind of like 'oh noes' and eventually tells Bella that he likes their new place alot and he'd like to stay there permanently. Bella freaks, how could he do this without asking her? Much badgering, Charlie comes clean, warns Bella her boyfriend is a dangerous vampire and explains that's why they can't return to Forks.
Bella realizes she's going to have to do some damage control. Tries to convince Charlie he's got to be wrong. When that doesn't work she tells all. Events of Twilight through Eclipse, with a very pro-Edward bias of course.
Charlie is horrified. Bella's going on about how wonderful Edward is of course but what's this singer business? And Bella nearly dying? Those Cullens are BAD BUSINESS and there's absolutely no way they are returning, no, capital N O.
Bella is not going to take that. Be separated from Edward? Love of her life, addictive drug, the eclipse to Jacob's sun? NUH UH.
Cue Bella plotting. Attempts to call the Cullens, letters sent to her friends with instructions to give to Edward, all sorts. Charlie is keeping a very watchful eye on her and averts all these measures.
Bella's going to have to do something drastic then. She acts as though she's given up, gets a job, puts on every appearance of having adjusted to her new life and getting over Edward. All the while she is secretly making arrangements for a trip home.
Lucky break. One of Bella's co-workers is part of a band who has decided that it is IMPERATIVE they play in Forks. Imperative, you get that? Bella hitches a ride, and lets out a long sigh of relief. It was going to take forever to save up enough for a plane ticket home and while she was willing to hitch rides or use a train if necessary, she far prefers the safety of traveling in a group. All she has to do now is contribute to gas money which is so not even a problem.
Road trip! There are mad hijinks, an incident over vanilla pudding, and the saving of some adorable ducklings. Bella has fun, gets to know her vanmates and whaddyaknow, starts forming some meaningful non-romantic relationships. I cheer loudly.
That's all I've got. Mostly I just want to see some of Bella asserting her independance in Breaking Dawn, really.

Date: 2008-03-14 02:13 am (UTC)Well you don't actually have to worry about spoilers, because what I want is pretty much completely offbase from anything likely to happen in the series and thus doesn't really reference Eclipse. xD
