Bella (and Alice) (and Lily)
Bella sits at the window. Alice takes the seat beside her.
Alice: Hey.
Bella: Hey. So what did you find out?
Alice: Turns out they transferred Edward out of prison and into some sort of mental facility. He ran away from there while security had their backs turned.
Bella: I knew he didn’t turn to smoke! What a liar.
Alice: But there’s that thing with the house. I still can’t explain that.
Lily: (pops up from behind the seat, making Bella and Alice jump) I can.
Bella: (to Alice) You’d think we’d get used to that.
Alice: (to Lily) We don’t want your explanation.
Lily: Oh, but you should. You see, Edward was never really a vampire.
Bella: Well, duh!
Lily: But I am. And I can do all sorts of things.
Alice: Can you disappear?
Lily: I can. In fact I’m going to. I’m going to join Edward in Transylvania and give him what he’s always wanted.
Bella: A life?
Lily: Eternal life. And then I’m sure he’ll be back for you. (breathing into the back of Bella’s neck) I wouldn’t stop looking over your shoulder, Bella.
Lily disappears in a puff of air.
Alice: Wait! Where’d she go this time?
Bella: (squeezes past Alice and stands in the aisle facing the seat behind them) Mosquito! (slaps the seat and kills the mosquito on the seat) Sucker!
Alice: One down! (high-fives Bella)
