Preface
Edward lay down on the floor of his room. He strummed an air guitar while his stereo shot out an earsplitting song. He brushed his hair and began to hum the song. It was so loud it threatened to burst his eardrums, but he didn't care and neither did anybody else. Rosalie wasn't shouting, so he assumed she was fine with the wall rocking beats.
Edward had not seen his family for hours. Esme was out shopping, Rosalie had disappeared around five, Emmett was downstairs doing God knows what, and Alice and Jasper had been gone into the bedroom several hours ago. Edward didn't want to imagine what they were doing, but he couldn't help picking up a few stray thoughts.
The booming song ended and Edward put on a different one. He lay down and tried to get comfortable when Emmett's laughter barged into his eardrums.
"Ah! Emmett, what in the world are you laughing about?" Edward screamed as he stood up and looked around.
Emmett's insane laughter boomed again and Edward sighed, he guessed he should get back into civilization. World War III could have broken out and he wouldn't have noticed. He flew out the door and slid down the hand rail to where Emmett was doubled over laughing on the couch.
"EMMETT!" Edward screamed, "What in the world is so funny that you have to ruin my guitar solo?"
Emmett tried to straighten up but ended up on the floor. He pointed over his head to where a lone door stood.
Them! Emmett thought desperately through his fit of giggles.
Edward walked over and stood next to the door. Suddenly he heard the swooshing of fabric and he looked up toward the site of the sound. Carlisle was standing on the top of the stairs, looking so mad he could have frightened of any of the Volturi.
"Jasper, what are you doing in there?!"
