We did this at my house, so I thought it would be funny if I did it now. Oh, Rosalie likes Bella now. Well, she was starting to like her at the end of Eclipse, but now they're ACTUALLY, really friends. This is in Alice's room, she brought a matress in for Bella, when she wouldn't let her buy a bed. I know they'd never act like this, sorry, but this WAS just for fun.
"A mosquito!" I screeched, batting at the wierd little bug. Alice shrugged. I missed, and it landed on her. Alice watched, angry, as it dug it's wierd little nose into her rock-hard skin.
"Now, f'n way did you just bite me." said Alice, staring at the mosquito.
"Get over it." said Rosalie, reading a fashion magazine in the chair, with her feet propped up on the desk. The mosquito buzzed around the room once, and it dug it's creepy little nose thing, into HER skin. "You did NOT just penetrate the perfect skin of Rosalie Hale." she said, following the mosquito around the room with her eyes.
I watched it along with her. Rosalie rolled up her magazine, and crept towards the mosquito. She attempted to squash it, but it buzzed away. Alice started moving her arms and legs rapidly.
"What are you doing?" I asked her, incredulously. She didn't stop moving as she looked at me.
"Well, if you keep moving, the mosquito won't bite you." she said simply. Rosalie immediately started shaking her arms and legs rapidly. I followed suit, moving my arms as fast as possible, but I jumped up and down on the matress for extra effort. I clenched and unclenched my fingers as fast as I could, while shaking my hands around, and kicking my legs while in the air. (A/N It's really possible for a human to do that, I did it) Alice soon joined me on the bed, hopping up and down, scowling at wht I suspected was the mosquito, however, I couldn't see it.
Her scowl as soon replaced by a grin, however, and her pixie-like body went higher up in the air mine could ever go. I beckoned to Rosalie. "Come on Rose, don't leave us waiting!"
She grinned and hopped onto the matress, which was taller than my knee (A/N My friend has a matress like this[I used to and she's shorter than Alice, so she has to climb up her bed, and I kow Alice wouldn't have the following song on her radio, but I love it and it fits!) We bounced up and down, screaming. The mosquito buzzed around us and Rosalie, Alice, and I tried, and failed to kill it. Alice, kicking her legs in a sort of Irish jig, jigged over to the radio, smirking. she grabbed the remote, and pressed play. The NEW version of Hairspray sond, 'You Can't Stop The Beat' blared out of the speaker.
"You
can't stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill
You can try
to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will
And you
can try to stop my dancin' feet
But
I just cannot stand still
'Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round
and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I
was lost 'til I heard the drums
Then I found my way!"
Rosalie and Alice were singing along, and we kept moving as fast as we could. I shrugged and grabbed the lyric book from her table, keeping my arms going in small circles, and began singing along.
"Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever
since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She
could shake up a man
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The
best that I can today
'Cause
you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the
sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But I never ask why
And
if you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and
say,
That you can't stop the beat!"
Rosalie and Alice clapped, giggling. We didn't stop moving, we continued moving as many body parts as we could as fast as we could. We were having giggling fits. Alice stoppe moving as she fell on the ground, laughing. Rosalie and I paused the music, and kept stomping our feet rapidly as we pulled her up. "Alice!" I screamed. "You can't stop moving, or you'll get even MORE bumbs on you 'perfect' skin!" Alice nodded solumnley, and we pressed play again.
"You
can't stop a river
As it rushes to the sea
You
can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just be,
And
if they try to stop us, seaweed,
I'll call the end of a lacy
pea
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my
heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I
heard the drums
Then I found my way
Cause
you can't stop the beat
You can't stop a river
As it rushes to
the sea
You
can try and stop the hands of time
But ya know it just can't be
And
if they try to stop us, seaweed,
I'll call the end of a lacy
pea
Cause the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my
heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I
heard the drums
Then I found my way
Cause you can't stop the beat"
I grinned again, and grabbed Alice's pixie-like hands. We twisted around, laughing, and singing along, giggling. "When are the boys coming back?" I said during a pause in the song. She shrugged, still giggling. We twirled in circles, then we ceized Rosalie's hand and kept jumping up and down, desperately trying not to stop moving for a second, not willing to let the mosquito bite us again.
"Ever
since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On
a saturday night
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all
my might today
'Cause
you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the rain from
above
You can try to stop the paradise
What I'm dreamin' of
But
you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in love to stay
Cause
you can't stop the beat!"
We grinned, and Rosalie started dancing old fashioned. Alice began doing the same. I began attempting to copy them.
"You
can't stop my happiness
Cause I like the way I am
And you just
can't stop my knife and fork
When I see a christmas ham
So if
you don't like the way I look
Well, I just don't give a damn!
'Cause
the world keeps spinning
Round and 'round
And my heart's
keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the
drums
Then I found my way
'Cause you can"t stop the beat
Ever
since this old world began
A woman found out if she shook it
She
could shake up a man
And so i'm gonna shake and shimmy it
The
best that I can today
Cause
you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the
sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But I never ask why
And if
you try to hold me down
I'm gonna spit in your eye and say
That
you can't stop the beat!
Oh
oh oh
You can't stop today
As it comes speeding down the
track
Child, yesterday is hist'ry
And it's never coming back
'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
And it don't know white from black"
Rosalie suddenly quieted, pressed pause on the radio, and looked up at the ceiling. "There it is." she whispered, and indeed, on the ceiling the bug was resting.
"Get a shoe." I whispered to Alice, pointing to her huge walk-in closet. She shook her head frantically.
"Not MY shoes." she insisted, and in a fluid moment, pulled off my shoe. I scowled, now laying on the ground due to her tripping me. She tried to jump close enough to her tall ceiling to kill the mosquito. I giggled. She sighed, and handed it to me. "YOU try then." she snorted.
I jumped, but barely got any closer than Alice did. The mosquito was staring at us, so we frantically began waving our arms again. Rosalie grabed the shoe, sighing, an jumped, squashing the mosquito. "That's what you get." she said.
"Should we stop now?" I asked. Rosalie and Alice looked at each other, and shook their heads. She grabbed the remote, and pressed play.
"Yeah!
'Cause
the world keeps spinning
'Round and 'round
And my heart's
keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost 'til I heard the
drums
Then I found my way
'Cause you can't stop the beat
Ever
since we first saw the light
A man and woman liked to shake it
On
a saturday night
And so I'm gonna shake and shimmy it
With all
my might today
'Cause you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
Or
the rain from above
They can try to stop ths paradise
We're
dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of two hearts in
love to stay
You can't stop the beat!
Aah,
aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah
Ever
since we first saw the sun
A man and woman like to shake it when
the day is done
But we're gonna shake and shimmy it
And have
some fun
For today!
Cause
you can't stop
The motion of the ocean
You can try to stop the
paradise
We're dreaming of
But you cannot stop the rhythm
Of
two hearts in love to stay
'Cause you can't stop the beat!
You
can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!
You can't stop
the beat!!
You can't stop the beat!!"
Edward, Emmett, and Jasper stood at the door, silently watching us goof off. My cheeks, which were already red from dancing, flushed. Edward smiled. Then he said, "Well, as long as we're here..." In a blink of an eye, Edward had the remote, handed it to Emmett, who changed it rapidly.
"Hey
little girl with the cash to burn
I'm sellin' something you won't
return
Hey little girl take me off the shelf
'Cause it's hard
having fun playing with yourself
Once you've browsed through the
whole selection
Shake your hips in my direction!" they
sang.
