I first read, Cullen, Unscripted back in October. When Kassiah asked me if I’d like to be a guest reviewer, not only was I elated to even be asked, but I chose to re-read the story to give a more accurate review. The story was even better the second time.
The Edward that FictionFreak95 created is definitely one of my favorites. He’s a fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy who takes life as it comes. Sure, he gets upset just like the rest of us, but instead of wallowing in self pity, he turns his situations into something positive, and most of the time, extremely funny.
Not wanting to take hand-outs, Edward decides to take a non paid, script writing internship at his Uncle Carlisle’s t.v. show, and work his way to the top just like anyone else, all the while using his mother’s maiden last name so no one knows he’s related to Carlisle Cullen. As he tries to find his place within the station, Edward meets and befriends some of the crew there: Emmett, who, by the way is hilarious, Rose and Alice. And later, literally bumbs into the ‘it’ girl, Isabella Swan, who just so happens to be dating James, the producer of the show, and Edward’s boss.
Of course, being a fly by your seat kind of guy, Edward didn’t think about securing a place to live, or a way to make money. Emmett, being the true friend that he is, sets Edward up with a job at his friend, Jasper’s bar. Only, it’s not a glamorous job. He has to dress up in costume, one of which is Shrek, and do impersonations of the character while he takes customers’ orders and anything else they need. Did I mention that he does a killer impression of Mike Meyer’s Scottish voice? Once again, turning an easily embarrassing situation into something funny.
Throughout the story, James has it out for Edward, as he’s noticed that not only has Edward taken a liking to Bella, but that the attraction seems to be mutual. James is hell bent on not only humiliating Edward, but damaging his reputation and career as well. But Edward doesn’t let any of that get to him and actually starts a food fight to prove just that. Here’s one of my favorite passages in the story:
“So I took a nice deep breath of fresh non-pancreatic air and said, “You know what you are, James?” I put just a smidgen of calf intestines onto my spoon. I mean, hell, I didn’t wanna waste that shit, right?
He looked at my pancreas filled spoon, and then me. “You wouldn’t in a million years, monkey.”
“Edward…” I heard Carlisle say under his breath, but screw that. James had me at monkey.
I didn’t even bother answering except to say, “You’re a lewd, crude, rude, bag of pre-chewed food dude.”
Next thing I knew, shit was flying everywhere. I grabbed what was left of my wine and downed it, then yelled “BANGARANNNNNNNNG!” as I raised my empty glass up into the air.”
