"Bella, this is absurd!" I growled, struggling to stay still. The arms of the chair I was sitting in groaned in protest as my grip tightened even more.
"You know I'm beginning to think that you just like to complain." She replied, her voice light and musical as she fussed with my hair. Her gentle fingers pulled it back and under the intoxicating aroma of her I could faintly smell hair gel.
My agitation increased with my curiosity. She had commanded me to close my eyes so that whatever mischief she was up to would be a surprise. I unclenched one fist to drum my fingers impatiently. "No, you're just being ridiculous."
"So you can surprise me and I'm not allowed to do the same to you. That is called a double standard as you very well know. And you also know that I hate them." She stated firmly. She set some cloth over my shoulders and I heard a metallic click as she snapped a fastener together. I sighed in relief. "Are you finished yet?" I asked hopefully.
"Just about, say ahhhh!"

I was just tying the last bow into Jazzy's hair when I heard Edward raise his voice. This was incredibly strange seeing as he almost never does that, especially not to Bella.
"You have got to be kidding me!"
Jaz looked at me uncertainly, "He's a little agitated, maybe we should go check on him?" Jasper pulled his blue belly shirt down nervously, his face screwed up in concentration as he tried to read Edward's changes in emotion. This was bad if Jasper was worrying about him.
"Stop being impossible!" Bella said, her voice rising in annoyance
.
I looked over at Jasper, "That would probably be for the best."

I knew he'd be pissed off but I had expected him to take it like a man, ahem I mean vampire. Instead it looked like he was adamantly against wearing it. How mean! After all the work I put into it!
"I'm not wearing this!" he hissed in frustration.
"Yes you are," I said calmly. A plan was forming in my mind.
"Why should I?" he glared at me.
"Well since it was your idea that I have human experiences while I still can, I'm going to drag you down into this as well."
He gaped at me in shock. "But Bella--, "he stopped, not having an argument.
I smiled slyly; score one for the fragile human, angelic vampire zip. I held out the plastic vampire fangs again and he took them with a grimace.
"You know," Emmett and Jasper stood in the doorway looking ridiculous in their Halloween costumes. Emmett in some bright pink Care Bear merchandise Rosalie had scrounged up on E-Bay. Jasper dressed up as Princess Jasmine from Alice's favorite movie, Aladdin. Emmett continued, "We Cullen men sure are whipped."
