A/N: If you don't like the characters or plot, then don't read. This is slightly AU as fair as Lana and their ancestry and stuff like that. But the main premise will not change.

Chapter 1:

Moving In.


Lana had always been the polar opposite of her sister, who was two years older than her.

While she also detested sport and managed to stay away from it, and her popularity status was equivalent to that of her sister, they were very much different. The younger sister of Bella Swan had been rather notorious for being a trouble-maker. She would get into countless fights with other students at their high-school in Phoenix. And it was always for the same thing; making a mockery out of Bella. She was always very protective of her big sister.

While Lana had a sun-kissed dewy complexion, she had been more filled out than her sister, she looked of a more Native American background, which they had from her Dad's side, which was generations back and not even part of the Swan family line anymore, so it was quite odd; Bella was pale and more lean than anything, her hips were slender, whereas Lana's were fleshy and her bottom popped from the jeans she would normally wear, Bella had a flat stomach and an average bust while Lana also had a flat stomach but her large bust made her seem chunkier than she appeared.

Bella wore flannels and typically seemed like a tomboy, while Lana kept up with the times somewhat, wearing clothes that would be considered relevant to the modern age. Bella was quiet and more shy than anything else. Lana was loud and made sure her opinion would be heard. Bella was more detached. Lana would engage with others.

Bella kept to herself and would read novels and listen to classical music, like her mother, who would want to seem more sophisticated. Lana would read, but she would be spending more time doing outside activities and listening to bands dating back to the sixties, reminiscent of her dear Dad, keeping in touch with her inner retro girl.

But the facial similarities were just as vast as the rest of their personalities and physical attributes. Bella had dark brown hair, with red encumbered through it, while Lana's hair was black, like her father's, reaching her waist in gentle waves. Bella had muddy brown eyes, Lana had light hazel. Jade green swirled with caramel brown. Bella had small but pouty lips with a button nose and a heart-shaped face, Lana was more like her mother, she had a strong jaw, but it was soft, angular, fit for a woman, she had high cheekbones which complimented her face, she had a strong, slender nose which suited her perfectly and her lips were full and shaped, with large almond shaped eyes, thick dark lashes framing them.

But they were as close as sisters could ever be, despite all the differences, they loved each other too much to let that get in the way.

Now, to the story, both Lana and Bella were going to Forks to live with their Dad, Charlie, despite their hare-brained mother, who they adored, they needed to see their father. Lana wanted to reconnect with her Dad more than anything, but she also wanted to see one more person, if he even remembered her.

(..)

"Alana, is that you?" Charlie asked as the Swan siblings got out of the cab, Bella had reassured her father that they were going to take a cab to the house.

"Hi, Dad." Lana grinned, looking up at her dad, her ripped blue jeans were like a second skin, her top was baggy, with the Guns N' Roses logo on it with her olive green bomber jacket over her, considering it was pretty cold in Forks, as well as beaten and worn black Converse with a muddy tip and the laces were more brown than the white they used to be in the package.

"You look. ."

"Gorgeous? I know." Lana's joke made Charlie laugh as she barreled into his arms, though he was a bit awkward, his arms wrapped around her and he lifted her off the ground, so happy to see his youngest. The last time Bella visited, Lana had been really sick, despite wanting to go, Bella went. Suffice to say, it was an awkward trip and he wasn't exactly thrilled to see that the awkwardness between them had remained. Lana pulled away so Charlie and Bella could have a stiff reunion as she went to get the luggage from the trunk of the cab.

Heaving their bags from the trunk, Bella and Charlie quickly went to help the youngest Swan as she started to fall backwards. "Crap, crap ,crap!" Lana squealed and sighed in relief and Bella and Charlie caught her. "Oh, thanks Bells, Dad." Lana thanked as they all took their bags and proceeded into the Swan residence.

"I cleared some shelves in the bathroom for you, girls."

"Oh right," Bella said, looking around the house.

'One bathroom' Lana remembered, wincing slightly at how that would work out, as Charlie showed them to their rooms, Lana's bedroom was opposite Bella's as Charlie's was the last on the right side, whereas Bella's was on the left. Lana opened the door, knowing Charlie would go to Bella's room first, they really needed to bond.

Lana set her bags down, looking at the bed, seeing the covers were folded neatly at the foot of it, the double bed took up most of the back wall, but there was still enough room for a desk, bookshelf and her in-wall wardrobe as well as a full length mirror. She noticed that Charlie had kept all of her drawings and pictures of wolves on the walls, which made her smile. He must have left the same for Bella.

"The sales lady picked up the bed stuff, you like purple right?" Lana heard Charlie ask Bella nervously and she bit her lip.

"Purple's cool," Bella complimented, in a feeble attempt to placate her father. "Thanks."

It was a few seconds before Charlie said, "okay," and walked out of Bella's room, and into her's.

"Is everything alright, baby?" Charlie asked Lana and she smiled gratefully at her Dad.

"It's all good. Thanks for all this, Dad. I know how bad you are at picking stuff for us." Lana giggled as Charlie tried to look affronted but ended up smiling along with his daughter.

"Hey, I tried." Charlie shrugged, patting her shoulder as she leaned in to whisper:

"Don't worry, Bella's gonna be okay, it won't be this awkward forever."

Charlie smiled thankfully, before pulling her into a hug.

(..)

About twenty minutes had gone by and both Bella and Lana had almost finished packing. Lana's hair was tied up and she had taken off her jacket and shoes, putting her clothes neatly away, trying to stay to a strict routine of not letting her clothes miraculously pile on the floor, dirty or otherwise. She had just slipped on the matching pillow slips and arranged them on her bed, stepping back and her bed was complete. The large dark blue covers took over the whole bed and the silver, glittery swirls caught what daylight there was. Now, it was time to decorate her walls.

Well, that would have been next if she hadn't heard a faint car horn. It was on Bella's side so she bounded into her big sister's room and looked out the window with her.

"You know, you should knock before you come in my room." Bella looked at her little sister with a knowing but teasing look so Lana tried her best to look rebellious.

"I follow no rules." Lana drawled, snapping her fingers in a Z-formation before both girls chuckled, seeing the new arrivals. "That's. ."

"Yeah," Bella added, before they looked at each other with furrowed brows, before pulling on shoes and walking downstairs.

When Charlie saw them, he said, "Ah, Bella, Lana, you remember Billy Black?" Bella settled for a handshake.

"Yeah," she answered, smiling crookedly before Lana bent down and hugged the older gentleman softly.

"It's so good to see you, Billy. It's been so long." Lana smiled brightly and leaned back so Billy finally got a good look at her, his eyes lit up with recognition.

"Little Lana Swan, not so little anymore, huh?" Billy quipped and Lana winked.

"Yup, no longer 4-foot nothing. Now I'm a whopping 5-foot-5." Lana gave Billy the thumbs-up and he chuckled heartily.

"You're looking good!" Bella commented.

"I'm still dancing," Billy flashed both girl's his pearly whites, before he gave a sly glance to their father. "I'm glad you're finally here," Billy continued, "Charlie here has shut up about it since you two told him you were coming." Bella looked at her Dad with her Dad's smile while Lana raised her eyebrows, giving him a 'really now?' look.

"Alright, keep exaggerating and I'll roll you into the mud." Charlie said, exasperatedly, rolling his eyes and both girls laughed as the two grown men sparred like teenage boys.

Lana shook her head at them as Jacob came up, eyes on Bella. "Hi, I'm Jacob." He introduced himself, before looking over to Lana and he nodded to her and her smile faltered slightly before she picked it up and waved. "We used to make mud pies when we were little." He continued.

"Right, I remember." Bella said, the smile still on her face, his face lit up and Lana's dimmed.

'She so doesn't remember.' Lana thought, knowing that her sister wouldn't be looking at him like she'd just met him for the first time, because she went back to being awkward again.

"Are they always like this?" Bella asked as all three teenagers looked at the two older men.

"It's getting worse with old age." Jacob quipped and Bella smiled, mumbling as Lana giggled before sobering as the two men in question came back.

"So, what do you think?" Charlie asked, his eyes trained on Bella as Lana looked knowingly between the two.

"What?" Bella asked, also confused.

"Your homecoming present." Charlie said with ease, almost as if he'd practiced it in the mirror. Lana squinted her eyes ever so slightly at her father before looking back to Bella, she wouldn't put it past him.

"This?" Bella asked, her eyes wide.

"Just bought if off Billy here," Charlie smirked, looking at his eldest.

"I totally rebuilt the engine for you." Jacob pointed to the hood and Bella looked back, lost for words as Lana grinned, enjoying her sister's moment of complete and utter shock. It didn't happen often.

"Oh, come on!" Bella started, looking at Jacob in excitement. "Oh my Gosh!" She exclaimed, "this is perfect!" She walked to the front as Jacob followed and Lana stood back, anticipating the blow. "You must be joking!" And then Jacob was hit in the side with the door, Lana winced when the door made contact with his right side. "Sorry," Bella apologized before jumping in, closing the door.

Jacob limped off to the other side, looking at Lana as she shrugged knowingly, 'I know, just take it in stride.' She mouthed and he nodded in thanks, smiling and she turned to Billy and Charlie as Jacob explained how to work the truck successfully.

"Don't worry, Lana. I didn't forget you." Charlie stated as both Jacob and Bella looked out the rolled down windows to see what Lana was going to get. Charlie went to a large tree and reached around and wheeled out a. .

. .neon pink bicycle.

The excitement quickly turned to horror on Lana's face and all four started laughing as Lana's eye started to twitch. "Please tell me this is just a sick joke!" Charlie stayed, leaning on the bike with that smug look on his face, "Dad?" Lana prompted harder, wishing to the stars above that it was all just a joke and there was a real motorbike behind the tree.

Charlie stared at her for what seemed like years, before Charlie straightened himself and put the bike on the lawn.

Lana sighed in relief and Jacob laughed at her reactions. "Are you that horrified of a pink bicycle?" He asked her, still laughing.

"One: I ride a bicycle to school and everyone will think I'm a dweeb.

Two: A neon pink bicycle will only rub salt in the wounds." Lana explained, looking absolutely serious.

"But you're always a dweeb," Jacob quipped and Lana looked at him with a look of: 'I'm gonna get you back, Jacob Black.' And he countered it with a smug look of his own.

"Wait till I get my hands on you," Lana muttered, her hands turning to claws as he started to laugh even more and Billy chuckled, patting her hand.

"Settle down there, tiger." He grinned and her and Charlie wheeled out a deep blue motorbike.

(Picture Bella's bike in New Moon and just add like a TARDIS blue to the red gloss.)

Lana's eyes widened and she instantly fell in love with the dangerous machine. "Oh my God, it's beautiful." Lana walked to it, as Charlie handed it to her and she expertly handled it, mounting the comfortable seat with care. "Oh, this is. ." Charlie, Billy and Jacob had large Cheshire grins as they looked at Lana. "Thank you so much!" She set the bar down and the bike rested easily as she hugged Billy and then Jacob. "Did you. ."

"Yeah, I fixed it up for you." Jacob smiled and Lana's smile got even bigger.

"Thanks so much!" Lana thanked Jacob, hugging him again and he laughed as Bella watched, enjoying her sister's excitement.

It wasn't very rare to see Lana excited or happy, but it always made Bella warm inside to know that her little sister was in a good place.
