Ipod Chronicles

Chapter One: Oh Em Gee

Renesmee's POV

I was asleep like mom told me to, but something woke me up. A loud thud. I wondered what it could have been, and immediately my mind started racing.

I wondered what the rest of my family did at night when I was asleep. They were all vampires and werewolves, so they didn't sleep. Well the werewolves did, but they could fall asleep on command so most of the time they were well rested. This was the perfect opportunity to investigate.

I was glad I told them I wanted to move back in to Grandmother Esme's house for a while, I missed being this close to my family. I hopped out of my bed, and crept through the house.

To my surprise, everyone was listening to music. Ipods, to be exact.

I walked past Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper's room, and they were in their own separate worlds. Alice was putting outfits together on her very own manikin, bopping away to her pink shuffle she had clipped to her arm. Whatever she was listening to had a fast beat to it. Uncle Jasper was on his computer, playing war games and I could hear heavy metal blaring from his. They paid no attention to me.

I walked past the bathroom and heard the shower running, and low music. I heard Seth humming tunelessly, he must've had his Ipod on a dock playing softly enough not to disturb anyone. I had to move away from him though, his humming was annoyingly off key.

I walked past Grandpa Carlisle's office, hearing him humming too. His humming was a bit more on key, but what it was I didn't know. And I probably wouldn't. He's so old, whatever he's listening to he probably happened before America was a country.

I silently made my way downstairs, using my vampire speed to not be detected. This was where everyone else was.

Uncle Emmett was playing his video games with a determined unmovable face, like if you interrupted him he would destroy you. His blue Ipod laid in his lap, playing away. Aunt Rosalie sat next to him on the couch, flipping away mindlessly through a Vogue. Her hot pink Ipod sat next to her on the couch.

My mom sat next to her, reading some book called "A Midnight Summer's Dream," whatever that is, and she looked like she wasn't even paying attention to her red Ipod. But I could hear it playing.

My dad sat in the chair listening to his Ipod Touch, writing something. He must've been writing music. Ugh, I could hear Dubussy from all the way over here. Good thing he wasn't reading minds, or else my jig would be up.

Looking around I found culprit of the thud from earlier, Grandma Esme was vacuuming and cleaning picking up the furniture as she danced a little to her green Ipod.

I have never, never ever, saw her shake her hips. Even a little.

Well that was almost everyone, excluding Leah who never came in the house, except for one person. Almost the most important to me. Where was Jake? My Jake? I looked at the glass back wall, and saw my Jake.

It was the funniest thing I had ever seen.

He was out on the lawn doing yoga as he listened to his grey Ipod, and he was currently doing crouching dog.

This was when I lost all composure, giving myself away. I laughed so hard, I alerted everyone in the house.

They all ran to me to see what was the matter.

Alice and Jasper flew down the stairs with Seth and Grandpa Carlisle hot on their tracks. Seth had a ridiculous shower cap on and Uncle Jasper had on his hair styled in curls.

For a second we paused to look at them, and uncle Jasper felt the confusion and shock in the air.

"What?"

He flew to a mirror and looked at himself, and a wave of embarrassment and anger hit us.

"Alice!"

She laughed and then try to look sheepish. "Sorry Jazz, but you're just so still when you play on your computer. You rarely notice anything, and your hair is such good quality."

I was still laughing, and everyone turned to my dad to see what was the matter with me.

"She's laughing because she saw Jake…doing yoga?"

Everyone looked at him and he looked like a deer caught in headlights. I guess no one had been paying attention to him. They all laughed now, as he tried to redeem himself.

"Hey, it helps me stretch out and relieves stress."

We laughed harder.

My dad being who he was, he continued to read my mind.

"You're right Renesmee, I was listening to Debussy. Clair De Lune."

I rolled my eyes.

"Wait, what was that?" My mom asked.

"She was just wondering what everybody was listening to on their Ipods."

"Oh, well I was listening to…Clair de Lune too." My mom said, I felt like she was lying. By the look on my father's face he was trying to read her mind but she had her shield up, so a lot of good that would do.

"I was listening to Frank Sinatra." Grandma Esme smiled at me. She was hiding something too.

"I was listening to Mozart, Renesmee." Grandpa Carlisle gave that same convincing smile, but I didn't fall for it.

"Fall Out Boy," Seth was turning red. He was lying.

"And I was listening to ACDC Ness." Jacob smiled sheepishly at me, I just knew he was lying.

"Hansen." Aunt Alice chirped, she was fibbing. She knew what was going to happen next, she could see the future for crying out loud.

"Motley Crue and the Sex Pistols." Uncle Jasper said lowly, and dad hit him in the arm. Yeah, like I haven't heard the word sex before. Instead of pain hitting us, I felt Jasper give off anxiety. He was lying.

"I was listening to KISS, squirt." Uncle Emmett's big smile beamed brightly at me. It was his giveaway. He was hiding something.

"Justin Timberlake." Aunt Rosalie muttered, she wouldn't look directly at me. She never could when she lied.

I smiled devilishly, coming up with an idea.

My fathers eyes got wide. "Renesmee, no. You don't know what you've start--"

"YES!" Aunt Alice screamed as she read the future. Of course she would love this idea.

"What is it?" Jasper asked, he must've been dieing from the excitement rolling off Alice.

"We're going to have Ipod wars. We have to go through our Ipod and pick the song that we're most embarrassed about and perform it, it'll be like contest."

"I don't know dear," Grandma Esme seemed wary.

"It'll make us stronger as a family. We'll learn more about each other. I'm sure it'll be surprising. We'll choose songs that you'd never guess we liked. Almost our favorite songs."

"Who will judge?" Grandpa Carlisle asked.

"I will, of course." I showed all of my sparkly sharp teeth, knowing this would win them over.

"Well, I think it would make us closer as a family. We would learn a little more about one another." Grandma Esme was on my side. I knew I was in.

"You have no idea what you've done." My father said exhausted, and I read the rest of their faces.

They all looked like this was a bad idea. They, except Seth and Jacob, who knew about as much as I did.

"Edward no cheating this time," Emmett called. "Don't worry, he wont be able too." My mother added, I could just feel her stretching her shield over everybody as my father smiled sheepishly.

"We'll perform at noon. That gives us about 3 hours. Plenty of time. Good luck everyone. And Alice, no reading the future."

"Oh, I promise I wont! I'm excited!! This will be so much fun!! I'm sure I'll win this time, I just know it!"

I suddenly understood why everyone didn't want to play. Alice. They all looked at her scared, she must be the type of person to do anything to win. Or at least, type of vampire.

"I'm ready, let's go!" Seth said excitedly, then took off his shower cap. I would have to remember to ask him about that later.

They all ran off to their respective corners of the house to rehearse, and Grandma Emse put me in the kitchen. She said take absolutely no bribes, or blackmail seriously. Fall for nothing.

I laughed as she walked away.

She wasn't serious………..

Was she?
