Starstruck 3

“What is taking so long?”Rosalie asked no one in particular. She was in line waiting impatiently with her family to get her picture taken with Bella. They weren’t quick enough to get the first spots but luckily with their VIP passes they got to skip most of the other people. The line was moving but entirely too slow in Rosalie’s opinion. She anxiously wanted to see her mate and was very close to pushing everyone out of the way to get her chance. The only thing that was stopping her was the fact that it would get her kicked out of the convention and then she would definitely not get the chance to meet her mate. That being something that Rosalie did not want.

“Don’t worry we are close.”Lena said.

“Yeah there is only only four people in front of us.”Alice was also excited to meet Bella. It was the first celebrity she ever got to interact with.

“We are going to get a picture with the whole cast later how about you guys?”Emmett asked.

“Us to.”Debby figured this would be her only chance to get to meet a celebrity and wanted to get pictures with them.

“It looks like it’s our turn.”Rosalie held out her phone for the attendant to scan her ticket code. Once she walked behind the curtain and got her first sight of Bella her breath caught in her throat. She knew Bella was gorgeous and had seen her in person but up close she was even more attractive.

“Please walk forward miss.”The attendant said breaking Rosalie out of her stupor.

“Sorry.”Rosalie mumbled. She waited as two other groups of people took their turn to take photos before she was called to stand next to Bella.

“Hello, what’s your name?”Bella asked when Rosalie walked up to her.

“Hi I’m Rosalie.”Rosalie wasn’t exactly sure how to stand now that she was next to Bella. She relaxed instantly when Bella wrapped her arm around her waist and pulled her close. Rosalie discreetly sniffed her mate’s scent and feel almost drugged when she took in the scent.

“All done.”The photographer called out.

“Well it was nice to meet you Rosalie. Hope you enjoy the convention.”Bella said patting Rosalie on the back and releasing her from the side hug.

“You as well.”Rosalie reluctantly walked away from Bella. Looking back Rosalie noticed a woman with bright red curly hair wearing sunglasses approach Bella and whisper in her ear. Rosalie didn’t know what she was saying but it seemed to concern Bella as her face went somewhat pale. Before Rosalie could see anymore she was hustled out of the room by the staff. Making her way down the line to get her picture she smiled when she got her copy. She and Bella looked good together. With Bella’s arm around her waist and Rosalie’s around Bella’s shoulder they looked like a real couple in love. Rosalie knew that it was just her imagination that Bella looked in love with her but it was a nice fantasy to have.

“That was fun.”Alice said as she joined Rosalie after getting her picture scanned.

“It was.”Rosalie agreed.

“Can I see your picture?”Alice asked. She smiled looking at Rosalie and Bella together.”You guys look so natural together.”

“Let me see yours.”Rosalie laughed at the picture of Alice clinging to Bella’s back while Bella did her trademark Start Light pose. Rosalie was somewhat jealous that Alice got to touch so much of Bella’s body.”How did you get her to pose like that?”

“I told her that I always thought it was cool that when she saved people in the movies they got to fly through the air on her back. She looked me over and said that I looked like someone she could carry and asked if I wanted to try it out. I of course said yes and then she knelt down and let me get on her back.”Alice had been surprised and pleased that Bella agreed to do the pose. She couldn’t wait to get home and show it to Jasper. Her mate was going to be just as excited as she was.

“That was so cool.”Emmett said.

“Yeah it was.”Debby agreed.

“Let’s see everyone’s pictures.”Lena held out hers and Emmett’s so everyone could see.

“Where did you get the prop guns?”Alice asked. Emmett and Lena’s picture was of them and Bella looking to be mid shoot out with all three holding different kinds of guns.

“One of the people in line behind of let us burrow them after Bella promised she would sign them for him for free.”Lena had thought Bella was nice to offer that so they could get a better picture with her.

“She complemented myself and Edward on our outfits. She said that we were the first Fantastic Four characters she had seen.”Debby was proud of her and Edward’s outfit choices. They were unique and no one else was dressed like them.

“I couldn’t read her mind.”Edward told them.

“What do you mean you couldn’t read her mind?”Rosalie asked.

“I tried to use my gift on her and it didn’t work. I was being blocked somehow.”Edward had been very uncomfortable with the realization that his gift didn’t work.

“Has that ever happened before?”Rosalie would yell at Edward for trying to read her mate’s mind later. Now she wanted to focus on the fact that he couldn’t.

Edward shook his head.”Never she was the first.”

“Bella Swan just keeps getting cooler and cooler.”Emmett said.

“I wonder if she can block other gifts as well.”Lena figured if she could block Edward’s gift Bella could probably block others.

“I haven’t had a reason to focus on her for a vision but now that we know she is Rosalie’s mate I should be getting some soon.”Alice couldn’t control her visions. They came when they wanted to. Usually when one of her family members decided to make a big decision.”It’s to bad Jasper isn’t here.”

“Well there is nothing to be done about it now. Let’s walk around the convention. I want to see if they have any Bella Swan merchandise.”Rosalie figured that she would be able to find some good memorabilia while at the con.

“What kind of stuff are you looking for?”Debby asked.

“Authentic movie props, memorabilia, things like that.”Rosalie told her.

“How about the complete set of Star Light trading cards from the first movie?”Alice asked as she stepped up to a both and held up a box.

“That sounds like something I want. Do they have anything else?”Rosalie took the box from Alice and looked at the other things they had to offer.

“You guys Star Light fans?”The man behind the table asked.

“We are fans of everything Bella Swan does.”Lena said.

“Well I don’t know what your budget is but I have one of the uniform tops that she wore in the Star Light films.”The man told them.

“How do we know it’s authentic?”Lena asked.

“I have the paperwork from the auction I bought it at. It came from directly from the studio wardrobe department.”The man pulled some paperwork out of a file and handed it to Rosalie.

Rosalie looked it over and did a quick search on her phone to see if the company was a reputable as the man said. Satisfied with what she found she handed the paperwork back to the man.”How much?”

“$10,000.”The man said.

“Shit.”Emmett mumbled.

“Do you take credit cards?”Rosalie didn’t care how much the man asked for it. The fact that it was worn by Bella during a movie was worth the price.

“I do. Was there anything else you wanted to look at?”The man asked.

“I’ll take these cards as well.”Rosalie handed him the box of cards.

“If you are interested in Bella Swan costumes from her other projects I have a friend on the other side of the room that as a complete outfit that she wore while filming Assassin’s Edge. It’s a little on the expensive side because it can be matched to a specific scene.”The man told her.

“Where is their booth?”Rosalie was very interested in buying an entire outfit Bella wore.

“Right when you come in the first set of double doors.”The man held out a card reader for Rosalie.

Rosalie slipped her card in and waited until it beeped to pull it out.”I’ll have to go over there then.”

“Do you want me to wrap this up?”The man asked.

“That would be nice thank you.”Rosalie didn’t want the glass to break.

“Are you going to buy the other outfit as well?”Debby asked.

“If it turns out to be legit I will.”Rosalie took the now boxed up frame and a bag with the box of cards in it.”Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”The man said then he turned his attention to the next costumers.

“I can’t believe you got part of her Star Light costume. Are you going to have her sign it?”Alice asked.

Rosalie hadn’t really thought about that.”That’s a good idea.”

“What other stuff do you think we will find here?”Lena figured if they found such cool stuff already that there had to be other things to get their attention.

“After we visit that other booth I want to check out that weapons booth.”Emmett wanted to add some guns to his outfit.

“Look there’s the outfit.”Alice said pointing to a large shadow box that held a pair of black leather pants, black tank top, black leather jacket, sunglasses and a pair of black combat boots.

Rosalie stepped closer and saw that the clothing was riddled with bullet holes, rips and covered in dirt, soot and fake blood. There was a picture at the bottom of the box that showed Bella in the exact outfit during a scene of Assassin’s Edge.”I’m getting it.”

“Can I help you?”A woman standing behind the table asked.

“Yes I’m interest in the Bella Swan Assassin’s Edge costume.”Rosalie told her.

“That’s a great piece. The collector I bought it from got it from a charity action that Bella Swan herself donated the item to personally. Even the picture is signed by her.”The woman explained.

“How much?”Rosalie asked.

“As it’s from the actress herself and can be proven to be worn in a famous movie I’m asking $250,000 but if you interested in any thing else I can do a bundle for a discounted price.”The women told her.

“Do you have other Bella Swan items?”Rosalie was more than willing pay the money but wanted to know if the woman had anything else.

“I bought the man’s entire collection so I have all kinds of Bella Swan stuff. This whole row are my items. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.”The woman said.

“I’m buying the outfit no matter what so please don’t sell it.”Rosalie didn’t want to miss out on it.

“I won’t.”The woman promised.

“Hey they have some action figures.”Emmett held up a Star Light figurine.

“And statutes.”Debby pointed to an entire shelf filled with different collectable statues of Bella Swan characters.

“There is so much stuff.”Rosalie wanted it all but didn’t know how she would be able to get it home.

Edward stepped behind one of the shelves when he noticed a group of teenage girls pointing at him.“This is just one booth. I’m sure there will be many more that have things you will want.”

“How are you going to choose?”Alice herself had found a couple Little Genius figures that she was going to buy.

“I think I’m going to take a few pictures of things I want then go online when I get home to buy them and have them shipped.”Rosalie didn’t want to leave the convention without some of the things she saw but she really didn’t have a place to transport them.

“That’s probably a good idea.”Lena thought that would allow Rosalie to find more stuff to buy.

“I’m still going to get a few things though.”Rosalie picked out two statues of Bella as Star Light and one of her as Ella from Assassin’s Edge. Then she grabbed a bunch of action figures that only a limited number were made.”I think I’m good.”

“I’m just getting these.”Alice held up the Little Genius figures she picked out.

“I’m getting this for her to sign.”Debby thought an action figure was a good thing to have Bella sign.

“That’s a good idea.”Emmett looked around and found an action figure of Bella as Ella holding two pistols with a rocket launcher strapped to her back.

“Let’s go pay for these. I want to get in line for autographs.”Rosalie led her family back to the table the woman running it was standing behind and piled all their stuff on it.”We are going all this and the costume as well.”

“You guys are big fans I see.”The woman typed each purchase on and iPad.

“We just got into collecting the merchandise so we are trying to catch up.”Alice told her.

“Well take one of my cards. It has my website on it. I have a huge inventory of stuff for sale on it. Including everything here. So if you found something you wanted I can easily ship it to you.”The woman told them.

Rosalie took one of the cards from the pile on the table.”I found a lot of things I wanted but just don’t have the room to bring them home so I’ll make sure to check out your site.”

“Do you want to take all this stuff right now or do you want me to keep it here for you?”The woman asked.

“We will take it with us.”Rosalie didn’t want to chance someone stealing it or the woman selling it someone else.

“Then let me just box up the outfit and I’ll get the rest of your stuff bagged up as well.”The woman pulled a large packing box out from under the table and began putting the shadow box carefully inside it.

Rosalie pulled out her phone and typed the woman’s site into her internet browser. She was going to check it out while they were waiting in line. Seeing that the woman was done she reached out for the box.”Thank you.”

“It’s no problem.”The woman handed the bags to Edward.

“I’ll keep them safe.”Edward promised when he saw Rosalie’s concern. He knew the items were important to his sister and he would make sure nothing happened to them.

“Thank you.”Rosalie knew that Edward was the best person to hold everything because he would protect it. He may be a little obnoxious when it came to sharing people’s thoughts but he was a good brother.”Now let’s go get in line.”

“Do you think people are already there? We have an hour before she’s scheduled to show up.”Lena at least hoped there was no line. She didn’t want Rosalie to have to wait to get a chance to speak to her mate.

“Let’s hope not.”Rosalie said as she led the group through the throngs of people being careful that no-one hit the box she was holding. She would be pissed if something happened to the outfit. Not because of how much money it cost her but because it was worn by Bella. It was her signature outfit that she wore many variations of during the Assassin’s Edge film and had been featured in more than one of Rosalie’s fantasies of her mate. Fantasies that Rosalie hoped would one day come true. How to make that happen she wasn’t sure. She knew that when she got her chance to talk to Bella she would have to make some kind of impression to make Bella want to speak to her again. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do but was going to try her best. Try what she wasn’t sure but she was going to give it her all.
