EmPOV
It was the beginning of summer. School had just gotten out, next year Bella was gonna graduate, and me and Rose were home from "college"
"Hello world! I'm home!" I barged through the front door excited to see my loving family; I was greeted by several annoyed vampires poised throughout the living room staring in my general direction.
"Guess what? We're back from college!" I yelped as I crashed onto the couch next to Bella and Edward. He shook his head and stood up.
"Emmett, you've been on vacation with Rose for the last three weeks." his sardonic intonation cut through to my very soul.
"Well aren't we just a bottle of sunshine." I replied smoothly. Man was he pathetic. I knew where I had been. I had been to College. I had seen things no vampire had seen before. I had heard what no vampire has heard before. I had danced like no vampire had danced before.
Edward rolled his eyes at me, took Bella by the hand, and ascended the staircase to his room. My brother could be so moody at times.
"Did you miss me Mommy?" I asked Esme, smiling as Rose shoved her way into the cramped space surrounding the door where we all stood; her arms overflowing with luggage. I didn't understand why she had to tote those stupid hair dryers everywhere we went.
"Yes I did Emmett," Esme cooed. "Give me a hug." She pulled me into her strong arms. She always missed us when we disappeared for more than a few months. Rosalie took one look at the happy scene, snatched up her suitcases, and flew up the stairs. She was just jealous. I looked around then and noticed Alice was nowhere to be seen.
I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. What if they were plotting to overthrow the Association of Cat Lovers? What if they were plotting to overthrow the Association on Emmett Lovers? I heard laughter upstairs then and wondered what was so funny.
Wait! Maybe it was just part of the plan to overthrow my people. The laughing got harder so I pranced up the staircase to investigate. The sound was coming from Alice's room. I opened the door to find….. (insert dramatic pause) Bella sitting in the middle of the bed, surrounded by florist pamphlets. Alice was lecturing Bella on the importance of flowers, and Edward was snickering to himself. He was truly odd.
"I'm laughing at your thoughts." Edward said coolly. "Do you really have an association dedicated to people who love you?" I nodded, confused.
"Why wouldn't I?" I asked. A scary voice sounded behind me then.
"Emmett!" I whipped around to see Rosalie fuming in the doorway, blocking my path of escape. "Emmett, what did I tell you about the fangirls?"
"That they're not pretty and that you wish they would go away? Actually you said a lot of things about those girls that attacked me that I really shouldn't repeat."
"Emmett," her voice was strained with forced patience. "I said you are not supposed to pay them any attention. Are you married to them?" She held up her left hand then, to display the shiny band on her ring finger. I just waited to hear the answer to her question. I had learned that it was best to keep my mouth shut when Rose asked questions like that.
"NO EMMETT! YOU ARE NOT!" Her voice was loud and I resisted the urge to put my hands over my ears. Instead I nodded, no longer confused. With that, she left to go polish her hairdryers and I took leave of Alice's room. I decided I would go visit my virtual friends that lived inside the computer. As I booted up the outdated computer that set in Carlisle's office I wondered why everyone thought I had been on vacation. I was fairly sure we had gone to college.
"Hey Carlisle," I yelled. He was in the room within seconds a worried look on his face. "Your computer's outdated. You should buy a new one." He put his hand to his forehead and plastered a fake smile on his face.
"This computer is only a year old." he said. I nodded as if that was the point. He sighed and left the room muttering something about "lock for the door". I pulled up my favorite chat room and started typing away at the keys.
JAZZ288: I'm reading this book called Withering Heights. It's supposed to be a classic, but it's kinda boring.

JAZZ288: IDK
PRINCESS_EMMY: G2G. bye bye!
I signed off quickly and stumbled down the stairs. My idea was brilliant! Sheer genius! I found some envelopes and a roll of stamps. I snatched up Esme's address book and went back to the computer. After pulling up Microsoft Word I typed as quickly as I could with out making mistakes. At long last I had found my calling!
Sorry 'bout the cliffhanger, but don't worry, I'll write another chapter. I know this chapter is short-ish, but it's mostly a filler to lead up to Emmett's great idea. Also, in case you were wondering. PRINCESS_EMMY is Emmett.
Please review! Please! Please! Please!
Okay, BYE!
;)
