First of all, like the summary said, there are major changes in Edward's and Bella's personality. (It's just for fun.) Edward's going to be all flirty with the girls in school, but he always breaks up with them, leaving them hanging by a thread. Surprisingly, nobody hates him. He's just this charismatic guy who always has his way. Whereas, Bella is now this cheerful and happy girl, who makes friends easily. It all appears hilarious in my mind, I just hope it's the same for you. Reviews muchly appreciated. :D

Chapter One.
"Okay, Mum. I really have to go now. Don't worry too much!" Bella said, as she tried freeing herself from her mother's tight embrace. Renee stepped back, eyes bright with tears, and nodded. "Email me about your life regularly, okay? Remember to drink water and take care! If you can't adapt to life there, you know you're always welcomed to return to Phoenix, right?" Renee sniffled a little and glanced at her daughter, already missing her.
"Oh, Mum! Don't cry! You're going to make me cry too." Bella hugged her mother one last time. "I'll say hi to Charlie for you."
Renee nodded and gave Bella a small push towards the departure gates. "Go on, don't miss your flight." Bella smiled, and then pulling her luggage along, walked briskly towards the gates which would bring her towards Forks, a town which she detested.
"Wait up, Bella!" Bella's mouth twitched, recognizing that voice almost immediately. She dropped her luggage and turned around, shrieking, "Andrea!" A petite girl hurled herself into Bella's arms and both of them laughed, while hugging each other tightly. "How'd you know? I didn't tell anyone." Andrea moved slightly, only to reveal Renee smiling sheepishly. Bella laughed, "I should have guessed!"
"I got you a little something as a farewell gift. Maybe it'll help in remembering me while in Forks?" Andrea fished a small box out of her handbag and passed it to Bella. "You shouldn't!" Bella looked at the box in her hands with a lip quivering. Andrea grinned on and Bella hugged Andrea again. "Boo you! You're making this so difficult for me! Oh, Andrea, you know I won't forget you."
"I don't want to break you girls up, but if Bella doesn't go now, she's really going to miss her flight." Renee laid a hand on Bella's back gently.
Bella sighed, then stepped back and retrieved her luggage. She gave a small wave, and then, set off for the gates once again. Only this time, she didn't turn back, not once.
But that was because there were tears streaming down her cheeks.
After the long journey, alone and bored, she reached the airport. She stumbled off the plane and looked around for Charlie. "Over here, Bella!" Charlie raised his voice and she turned around to face Charlie. "Oh, hello, Char- Dad!" Bella greeted him and gave him a bear hug.
"Hi," Charlie awkwardly hugged Bella back, then asked. "How was your flight?" Bella pulled a face and replied dramatically, "It was boring! All alone, no one to talk to or play with. I almost died!" Charlie laughed and said, "I see you haven't changed much since the last time I saw you. Come on, let's go, you must be tired." He led Bella to his cruiser and rode all the way back to Forks. They chatted about practically everything, but mostly Bella going on and on, though. Charlie, unlike Renee, isn't very sociable. It's quite obvious that Bella didn't get her cheerful genes from Charlie.
"Oh, Bella, you mentioned something about a car, right? I got you one. A 1953 Chevrolet Pickup Truck." Charlie said suddenly, as if it only just occurred to him. "Oh cool! Thank you, dad. I was going to get one myself, but I guess I don't have to go through that fuss myself now. How much is it?" I asked. "I bought it for you already. It's sort of like a welcoming gift." Bella grinned and thought to herself, Wow. Free. "Thanks, dad!" she thanked him again after deciding against hugging him while he was driving.
It seemed like the ride to Forks was so short, because it wasn't very long till Charlie slowed the cruiser down. "We're here! Welcome to my humble abode." He did a stiff gesture towards the small house. Bella jumped out of the car and rushed to the door, where Charlie was slowly unlocking it.
The first thing that Bella did when she entered the house was, obviously, run up to her room. Everything was almost the same, except that Charlie had exchanged the old cot with a newer bed. There was a computer installed too. She quickly unpacked and then flopped on the bed, feeling a little homesick. She dwelled in that homesickness for a little while, before pushing it away. She turned the computer on to see how well it works. It was pretty good, although internet connection was worse than the on back in Phoenix.
To thank Charlie for everything, she prepared dinner and when it was finally done, she clapped her hands in glee and called out, "Dad! Dinner's ready!" Charlie came down the stairs and widened his eyes at the feast laid out on his small dining table. "Wow, Bella! When did you learn how to cook like that?" Bella smiled. "There was this course which I took up in school, and sort of found another of my passion." Charlie laughed, and then took a seat. "In any case, this is impressive. Thanks." Bella's smile grew wider as she pushed a plate of vegetables towards Charlie eagerly. "Try!"
Very soon, Bella and Charlie finished up every single dish on the table. Charlie rubbed his stomach contentedly as he commented, "You know, if this keeps up, I really think I'm going to get fat." Bella giggled as she stood up, collecting the dishes. Charlie stood up abruptly and snatched the plates from her. "No, no. Let me do the dishes. I don't want your mom to complain how I'm treating you like my personal maid. Go on, have an early night. School starts tomorrow, if I'm not wrong."
Bella looked up in surprise. Charlie continued, "Yes, I'm sorry it starts so soon, but I couldn't get you a few more days to rest. The school suggested that you start school as soon as possible because they were afraid you wouldn't be able to catch up. I'm sure you'd like school, considering how friendly you are."
Bella smiled inwardly as she noticed how much Charlie had spoke. That night was really quite the talkative side of Charlie at work. "I don't mind a bit, dad. Don't worry about me." She removed her apron and walked out of the kitchen. "I'd be in my room!" Very quickly, she went up the steps carefully for she didn't want an injury. She bathed and then propped her pillows out, such that she could look out of the windows.
Her eyes slowly drooped, probably from the jetlag, but her heart was still quite reluctant for tomorrow to arrive. No matter how much she forced her eyes open, she fell asleep in no time at all. The last thing she saw before entering Dreamland was the pretty stars smiling down on her.
