Project H: New Moon

By Panicattack/ Project H

Author's note: If you didn't read Project H: Twilight, all you need to know for this is that Jessica has somewhat incestuous tendencies. I'm sure it made sense in context.

Part 1

Bella narrating: These violent delights have violent ends

Like at the end of Mythbusters where they just blow everything up

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume

Like at the end of Mythbusters where they just blow everything up

And I think there's something about teen love in there too

*Meadow*

Bella: Gran?

Gran: Gran?

Ed: Two Bellas? Well, Happy Birthday to me

Door: *Knock*

*Bella's room*

Charlie: Wakey, wakey. What's that you're reading?

Bella: Romeo and Juliet. I like reading stories that are absolutely nothing like my life, what with my romance being in no way tragic

Charlie: Well then any book with actual character development would work too

Bella:...what?

Charlie: Happy Birthday! *Hands Bella gifts*

Bella: I thought we agreed no presents

Charlie: They didn't cost me anything. This camera was a murder weapon that I stole from work

Bella: *Looks at camera* Ew! Couldn't you have cleared out the old photos first?

Charlie: Maybe, but I thought I'd be an extra little surprise

Bella: And the scrapbook?

Charlie: From your mother. She doesn't know anything about you, so she sent you blank paper

Bella: Thoughtful

Charlie: You got old so fast

Bella: No I didn't

Charlie: Is that a grey hair? Broken hip? Angry letter to the paper?

Bella: No it isn't

Charlie: Are you sure? Maybe your eyesight is getting bad

Bella: Dad...

Charlie: Arthritis?

Bella: Please...

Charlie: Dreaming about being an old lady with your young boyfriend?

Bella: I...what?

Charlie: Happy Birthday!

*School*

Eric: Dear God, look at that hideous truck. What kind of loser would...oh Bella! Hi there

Bella: Can I get a picture of you guys? My mum wants me to put together a scrapbook of memories, and I find it hard to believe I could remember any of you without photographic evidence. Which one's the Asian guy?

Eric: Uh, Eric

Bella: And which one's cock-blocking Mike?

Mike: Cullen. And here he comes

Edward: *Parks across the lot so he can do a slow-motion windswept walk up to Bella*

Bella: You've been practicing that

Edward: Every night while you're asleep. Happy birthday

Bella: Ugh. Let's not celebrate my aging

Edward: You're 18 now. I'm 109. Yesterday this relationship was questionable, but today it's perfectly fine

Bella: I'm old

Edward: Well the older you get, the less you seem like part of my midlife crisis

Bella and Edward: *Kiss*

Edward: Time for class

Bella: I have had class. I didn't do anything wrong or force you to-

Edward: School class

Bella: That too

Jacob: Bella!

Edward: Who's she?

Bella: Jacob

Edward: That's a dude?

Bella: Is the one who sparkles questioning someone else's masculinity?

Edward: I'll leave you two to talk

Jacob: You and I need to hang out more

Bella: You're forgetting that I don't like you

Jacob: Happy birthday. I saw this the other day and thought of you *Holds up dream catcher*

Bella: You saw something cheap and tacky and thought of me? Aw, sweet

*School Hallway*

Edward: So how come Jacob Black gets to give you a present and I don't?

Bella: I binned his gift. Besides, I have nothing to give back to you

Edward: Bella, you give me everything just by breathing

Bella: You're going to run out of clichés

Edward: I have a big book of them. I've got hundreds more. Bella, I was dead until you breathed life into me

Alice: Bella! Happy Birthday! Here's your present. I've already seen you open it and guess what – you love it! I also saw you trying it on. You might want to borrow my waxing stuff. Oh, and maybe think about a salad for lunch

Bella: Jasper, no fair with the mood control thing

Jasper: I wasn't. I don't want to waste my powers here. I'm going to go and make the school cycling team aroused before they go for a ride. Good luck getting on those seats, boys

*English class*

Edward: Look at Romeo. He kills his true love out of sheer stupidity. I sure envy him

Bella: Yeah he...what?

Edward: No no, not because of that. I envy him because he can easily commit suicide

Bella:...what?

Edward: I'd need to go to Italy and provoke the Volturi. I thought about it when I almost lost you to James

Bella: So despite being alone and miserable for almost 100 years, you never considered killing yourself until you met me?

Edward: Correct

Bella: Why are you telling me this?

Edward: Just making friendly conversation

*Cullen house*

Edward: *Looking at painting* The Volturi are a very old, very powerful family

Bella: I thought we were going on a date. Why are we still talking about suicide?

Edward: This is how all second dates go. The Volturi uphold the most important law of our world

Bella: Music piracy?

Edward: That one's second. The most important is that we keep the existence of our kind a secret

Bella: I don't even want to think of someone hurting you

Edward: Bella, the only thing that can hurt me is you

Bella: Thank goodness. I was worried that the Volturi would be able to harm or possibly kill you, but now my mind is at ease

Edward: No, they can! I was trying to sound romantic or something. The Volturi can most definitely kill me

Alice: On that note, party time! Rosalie, you first

Rosalie: *Hands gift* It's poison. I'll be offended if you don't drink it straight away

Emmett: Mine is already installed in your truck. New sound system

Rosalie: My second gift is also in your truck; cut brake-line

Carlisle: And we got you something to brighten your day. Careful, we wrapped it in cactus

Bella: *Cuts finger*

Jasper: *Attacks*

Rosalie: Jasper, you got her 'death'? Damn, that was my third gift

Edward: *Throws Bella into Emmett's ill-advised knife collection*

Bella: Oh dear God! Why did you do that? I'm bleeding everywhere

Edward: I thought that maybe I could create so much blood that Jasper would get confused and stop

Bella: You didn't think of maybe just jumping on Jasper?

Edward: Of course not. Someone might have gotten hurt

*Carlisle's "office", though it looks more like the lounge on a cruise ship than somewhere to put in stitches*

Carlisle: It's not your fault; Jasper hasn't been away from human blood as long as the rest of us

Bella: Of course it's not my fault. How could it possibly be? Jasper's the one with no control, you gave me the gift, and Edward threw me across the room. It's everyone's fault but mine

Carlisle: You've always been very gracious about us

Bella: Sure

Carlisle: It's because we're so incredibly good-looking isn't it?

Bella: Absolutely

Carlisle: And because we could easily kill you if you made us mad

Bella: Undoubtedly

Carlisle: Ah well. There have been great relationships based on less

*Bella's truck*

Bella: Edward, you can't protect me from everything. An accident, illness, old age, my boyfriend throwing me into a wall...actually, you could have protected me from that last one

Edward: I'm not going to change you. You don't know how I feel about you

Bella: Carlisle told me how you feel about your soul. I don't believe in that. And frankly, neither should you. Your very existence seems to disprove most religions

Edward: True. But if we pretend, we can still take religious holidays off from work and school

Bella: It's still my birthday, so can I ask you one thing?

Edward: I don't believe in birthdays, so no. Now go inside. You've got to prepare for the Sabbath

Bella: But that's not-

Edward: Go inside! Goodnight and shalom

*Outside the Swan House*

Edward: Come take a walk with me

Bella: I sense another surprise party

*Forest. Where all important Bella and Edward talks occur*

Edward: Surprise! We're leaving town forever

Bella: What? Why?

Edward: Carlisle's supposed to be older than he looks. Yesterday someone pointed out his driver's licence expired in 1942. We have no choice but to leave

Bella: Alright, I'll get my coat

Edward: No, you can't

Bella: OK, I'll buy a new coat when we get there

Edward: You're not coming

Bella: Well no, not right now. But if we kiss and cuddle for a while then maybe-

Edward: Not what I meant. You can't go with us

Bella: If it's because of Jasper-

Edward: It's not that

Bella: If it's because I sometimes snort when I laugh-

Edward: Not that either. And when have you ever laughed?

Bella: If it's because I have little to no personality and practically no redeeming character traits other than apparently smelling nice and not being about to recognise when I'm in an abusive relationship-

Edward: Frankly that's my favourite thing about you. It's because I'm not good for you

Bella: I told you, I don't mind the physical abuse and having to live in fear. It's like dating...a bear

Edward: I don't want you to come. I'm leaving, and you'll never see me again. It'll be like I never existed. Except for the emotional pain, the physical scars left from when James and Jasper attacked you, and the fact that for several weeks people will be coming up to you asking "Whatever happened to that Cullen kid?" Goodbye and shalom *Leaves*

Bella: *Decides to chase after the super-fast vampire, perhaps hoping to find him hiding behind a tree. Then she crawls, and despite failing to find Edward, finds 3 lost contact lenses. She then cries herself to sleep on the forest floor. Oh yes, it's like he never even existed*

Sam: *Finds Bella, and also finds that not wearing a shirt while assisting a police investigation doesn't draw a single suspicious glance. He briefly considers forming a new Shirtless Squad, but realises they may struggle for female volunteers*
