A/N: I own a copy of Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton owns a copy write on Edward Scissorhands… Who do you think has makes more money? Not me, I assure you. Especially not with this story… So I see no reason for him to sue me… This is just one in what will be a long line of various Edward Scissorhands stories to come out of my computer. Each will be very different, and I will make some in several categories. Edward will be the focus of poetry, humor, drama … So many different things, it would make Johnny Depp's head spin. Even the continuities of time will be different, which frightens me. Enjoy, and remember to Read and Review!

Edward had been busy all day, working on what would be his defining piece. His Scissorhands, as tired as they had become, clipped the finishing touches on a giant topiary, in the front yard of the Bogs' family house.

The monstrous heart shaped bush was the only way he felt he could show Kim what she meant to him. Each of it's details, from the true hitting arrow to the rounded curves of it's perfect arches, were like a dozen poems of his undying love, and the pain in his wrists was far worse than any writer's cramp.

Two final snips and a flourishing pose, and he was finished. He circled around it, noting that it was at the perfect angle for her to look at it through her window, and finally felt satisfied. All he had to do now, was wait for her to come home. He walked into the house, snipping a hello to Peg and Bill, before walking into her room. He sat down on her waterbed, and stared out the window at the giant heart. He couldn't go through with it. He just couldn't go through with it.

He left her room and went back down stairs, to go sit down on the couch. He sat down, and crossed his arms over his chest. Slowly, he began to drift off to sleep…

"Don't even talk like that, Jim, I wouldn't date him if he were the last man on earth!" Kim bit her lip. Edward staying at her house had changed the way everyone looked at her, and it was really making her crazy. She didn't care anymore what she was saying, as long as it assured Jim that there was nothing between her and "That freak she lived with."

"You'd better not… That freak is infatuated with you, I can tell just by looking at him." He probably expected Edward to be capable of killing her, or worse… But Kim knew otherwise. Edward had an innocent mind. He wouldn't… But Jim would. Kim had realized Jim wouldn't really care if Edward killed her, if he hadn't labeled her as his property.

"Look, Jim… I really don't want to talk about it." Kim said, very seriously.

"Why not? He's gotten in your head, hasn't he? You like him, don't you?" To say Jim was angry would be an understatement.

"Even if I did, it wouldn't be your business, not anymore! I've had enough of you, Jim. It's over! Good-bye!" So it had finally happened. Their doomed relationship had FINALLY come to an end.

"I can't believe it! YOU'RE dumping ME over that FREAK! FINE! I hope you get married and have a dozen freakish-" It was then that Kim had made it up the driveway, and into the house, slamming the door behind her.

Kim stormed straight up the stairs and into her room. She kicked off her shoes and looked in the mirror. She almost expected to see something strange in her room, after all, it wouldn't be the first time. However, she certainly didn't expect THIS. She turned around slowly, just to make sure she was seeing things right. There, in plain site, was something she had truly feared for a long time.

It was Edward's heart. So intricately and lovingly made, so much emotion and so deeply felt… `He must have spent hours on it… It's worse than I thought…'

Tears weld up in her eyes, and she began to sob. It took her a good half an hour to sort through her emotions, and when she finally did, she was still confused.

"I don't know what to think of him," she said to herself, "He loves me… much more than Jim did… But… He's so… Different… And… I don't know how to love someone like that… He's not anything like I've ever even… Considered…"

But the more she thought about it, the less sense it made, and so instead she thought about her options. "Well… I could just tell him no… Or give him the `Let's just be friends' speech… but I don't want to see him upset… I could kill myself…" She definitely dismissed this Idea.

"I could just… Give him a chance…" She was uncertain about this, but she knew that there was no other way for her to act. She had no excuse not to, because she knew he was a good person. Despite her misgivings, she rose to her feet, and held her head high, as she made her way downstairs to find Edward.

Edward was standing alone in a giant maze. He walked and walked and walked, and felt like he was going nowhere. It was then that he made a stunning realization. He was in a hedge maze. He had scissors for hands.

It was then that he awakened, to the beautiful and familiar voice of Kim. "Edward, are you awake?"

"Yes." He said, raising himself from the couch.

"Oh, there you are. I um… Saw what you did…" Ah, the speaking slowly while looking away approach.

No comment from Edward, as he isn't one to talk.

"Listen, uh… How'd you like to go have dinner at… um…? McDonald's?" So very smooth, Kim…

He looked up at her, shocked at her sudden change of character, and began, "If you'd like to take me…"

"Good, you ready?" She said, trying to rush him into saying no, or at least getting it over with.

He stood, and said, "Yes."

It was now her turn to be shocked. "Okay… I'll ask if I can borrow the car…"
