*Cues balloons and cheers* I'm back!

For any first-time readers of Cullenmania, welcome! (Am I allowed to say that when there's only one other story in the series?) This is a stand-alone story, but there are a few in-jokes tossed in there that you won't get unless you've read Cullenmania 1: Mythical Madness. You can find it on my profile- darn html editor won't let me link it.

For any second-time readers, welcome to you, too! Great to see ya again!

Again, we continue with disclaimers in the form of bad poetry..

DISCLAIMER:

SMeyer, you own Twilight
SMeyer, you're not me
If I claimed to own it,
You fully have my permission to kick me where it hurts. Really hard.

Ha! You thought I was going to rhyme, didn't you?

PROLOGUE:

"Oh, but can't I come?" whined Emmett at the news of his wife's departure to Denali – without him.

"No," Rosalie admonished him. "Irina said you weren't to come back inside of this millennium."

"Oh, yeah…" Emmett trailed off. Irina's reaction had been anything but sweetness and light when she'd discovered that he'd broken the eastern wall of the house.

"Well, she had just painted a new mural on it. I don't blame her for being so upset. Emmett, how could you?"

"It wasn't my fault!" Emmett said indignantly. Rosalie just looked at him. "Okay, okay, it was my fault."

Esme spoke up from across the room. "I still don't understand how you managed to break it, Emmett."

"Nobody does," sighed Rosalie, looking at the clock. "Sorry, Emmett, I really have to go now."

"But Rosalie—"

"No, Emmett." And then Rosalie was gone, before her husband could utter another word.

"Aww, Rose…" Emmett, momentarily depressed, suddenly realised that his wife's three-day-long trip would be a whole lot more fun now that she couldn't stop him from doing something he'd always dreamed of…

"Hey, Alice!" he called downstairs.

"What?"

"Can you take me shopping?"

I beg of thee to review. Any typos, sentences that make you cringe, tell me. Also note that if you put this story on your favourites list (or any story, really) the site won't alert you. You have to put it on alert as well. I know it sounds a bit like I should've figured it out before, but I only just found this out, so I'm spreading the word just in case.
