Hi, I’m Skipper and this is Pompeii. And together we are Skipper Pompeii, a strange mix of Norwegian and Mid Western cultures!

So here’s Skipper’s bio…

I am an 18-year-old American wannabe trapped on the Norwegian coastline. ~Pompeii interrupts~ ahem…you make it sound like you’re in prison or something! ~Massive eye roll from Skipper~ Hello…not your turn here! Where was I? Oh yes…the desolate wasteland that is Norway…

~Pompeii~ If you are seriously going to do that then I am taking over! Skipper is a beautiful 18-year-old Norwegian hottie! She bears an uncanny resemblance to Bella if you ask me. ~eye roll from Skipper~ She loves Music, reading American books, and complaining about people who don’t know how to use the search function.

~Skipper~ Fine then…I’ll do yours then! Pompeii is the coolest mother you’ll ever meet. She has the best sense of humor, though some small anger management issues ~Pompeii throws a coughing-fit~ Uh…hello…I can’t even hear my own thoughts here! ~ahem~ Born in Europe, but now living in the Mid West, Pompeii has that international vibe we all long for. She also has the ~kiss…kiss~ down. Very European! Pompeii’s iPod always blares out music, preferably rock, so loud that even her kids complain. She loves to read, and stays faithful to repairing her money pit also known as a Dodge mini-van. If she could choose, she’d totally drive a Beemer M5!

~Pompeii~ So there you have it folks. Everything there is to know about us. Well at least the important info anyway.

Anyway…Free Cullen Cookies courtesy of the Vampire Mating Thread to anyone who reviews!

We have an excellent Beta named Storms. So don’t even ask to be our Beta…we don’t want you. ~Skipper~ Pompeii now that is really rude! These people came here to read our stuff! You should be nice to them so they will give us good reviews! ~Pompeii~ Fine! I’ll be nice…you can offer to be our beta but you’ll never come close to the supreme beta abilities of Storms so you might as well not try. ~Skipper~ That’s what you call being nice? You are hopeless! ~Pompeii~ Maybe but you love me anyway!

Beta:
As already mentioned, we have the most amazing beta ever! No one can even compare to her! Anyways, she writes the Bella Saga, and if you want to check her out, which we recommend you do, she's here:

Storms!

No, actually, we demand that you check her out! Her stories are magnificent!

Stories:

My Street: The inspiration for this story, was the song "My Street" by Kurt Nilsen. If you want to check him out, he's here: Kurt Nilsen at YouTube.

Distraction: Pompeii's solo debut about Rosalie! Thank you so much to our friends VampirexLove for writing the piece that inspired this!

Safe Harbor:WINNER of the Summer Lovin' contest on pelirroja's Fanfiction site. Without the inspiration given by 'Makes Me Wonder' by Maroon5 and Pompeii’s adorable Daughter (NO! I'm not linking you to her!), this piece might have never been created.

Edward's Date Night Extravaganza:
Chapter 1, Starcrossed: Without these, this chapter wouldn't have been finished. 'Starlight' by Muse, and the Horsehead Nebula.

Chapter 2, Kissing Time: We're very happy about the find of Bella's gorgeous dress, and if you want to have a look at it (which of course we recommend you do!!), you just passed the link. Also, here's an important part of Casablanca at YouTube, in case you haven't seen the movie and want to check it out. And thanks goes out to our friend bronzehairedgirl, one of this chapter's muses!

Chapter 3, The Chapter of Death: It's up! Finally, huh? 'Stolen' by Dashboard Confessional helped us a lot to get through this, and so did the beautiful poetry of Frost and Herrick. We own none of these muses either, but they are excellent wooing tools for your arsenal, so use them well!

Chapter 4, Life is Beautiful: A big swooning-tool for this chapter was 'Life is Beautiful' (hence the chapter-title) by Vega4 and the magical, sparkling thing that is the Ocean.
