My 0wN lil TwiSts

H ad a few people lately who pointed out that Moonlight Melody is very different from Twilight. A number of people were surprised at this when I posted chapter 1 and told me that I had gotten the story wrong. Yup it's different. It just one of those stories that shows you just how things might have gone differently had this happened instead of that.

What love story could have bloomed between Jasper and Alice if Jasper had known her while she was in the hospital? What do you think Jasper and Edward were like before you read about them in Twilight? What if Alice had never been crazy? What if she'd known Edward and Carlisle personally before she was changed? What if she actaully remembered everything? These are all questions that Moonlight Melody will answer.

I might have substituted most of Stephenie Meyer's facts about the characters with something close to resembling it in this story. Just to sort of hint what kind of vampires they will become in Twilight. They are pre-Twilight characters in this story so I'm hoping to portray how they were before Twilight. How they became the people that Stephenie Meyers writes about today.

Examples...

• Alice is a quirky and happy young woman who likes to twirl and dance around. Twilight is always comparing her vampiric grace to something that 'would make a ballerina cry'. She's also one of the more perkier Cullens, always nice to Alice.
• Alice seems to have a love for designer brand clothes, fashion accessories (she has such a big vanity table in her room), and even has a full length mirror that Edward got her in her hospital room. This is because we all know how much she will love shopping when she gets the money to do so for Bella in Twilight.
• I've taken the visions that Alice is supposed to have of Jasper and made them into dreams about him.
• Seeing as Alice will be able to tell the future, she has excellent inner tuition about various things throughout Moonlight Melody.
• Jasper is portrayed in Moonlight Melody as lonely and hopelessly dark. His control isn't very good and it will never be good as we see later in Twilight and New Moon.
• Edward was just turned into a vampire recently and is still learning to cope with that (see Chapter 4 when he accidentally answer's Alice's thoughts and gets frustrated with himself).
• Carlisle already harbors a sort of attachment for Esme. In Chapter 4 when he takes a long look at the tree outside Alice's window (Note: He fixed Esme's broken ankle when she fell out of a tree as a child) and reminisces a little about her.
  
• Alice's hair was long in the beginning of the story but you can see when she cuts it and why in Chapter8.
• In Chapters 13 and 14, you find out the story behind the Jasper and Alice soul-mate-stare that you saw in the airport when Alice and Bella came back from Italy with Edward.
  

Anyway for you all here are the main points from the STORY so far that I've taken the liberty of changing in the fic:

1. Alice remembers her human memories.
2. Alice first meets Jasper in 1920 instead of finding him in 1948.
3. Alice and Jasper get married in 1948 instead of finding eachother for the first time.
4. Mary Alice Brandon is living in a regional hospital with a chronic heart condition instead of being crazy in a mental institution.
5. Alice knew Carlisle Cullen a long time before she knew Jasper.
6. The Cullens (what there IS of them at the moment in the story) come into the story much earlier than the 1950s.
7. She has a relationship with Jasper as a human, just like Bella has with Edward.
8. Alice met Jasper because he was trying to mainstream in the hospital at night as a volunteer.
9. Alice is an only child ( I didn't know that she had a sister before and I'm not gonna change it because it says so in New Moon. I'm going to make sure it stays how it is now.)
10. The old doctor that loved Alice originally changed her and wanted to protect her is actually a crotchety old doctor named Mr. Moony Madison (interesting name huh?) and he didn't really love her as much as he did in the Twilight story. To him, Alice was nothing more than the friend with the bad influence on his niece, Ixie.
11. Carlisle is actually the one to change Alice, and Jasper is right there to watch her go through it all. She was never alone.
    

And so that's everything. Of course you know that everything else I added in. Jasper singing to Alice, Alice going to school and having Jasper follow her....that's all me. But the ones that I listed above are probably the ones that would impact the story the most.
