Against all odds
Emmett loses a bet with Jacob and all of the Cullen's are forced to join the high school's cheerleading squad.
Billy's POV
"You think that you can do more push-ups than me?" Emmett laughed in Jacob's face.
"I know I can, bloodsucker," replied Jacob with a grin.
"What are we betting on?" Emmett asked.
"If you lose..." Jacob smiled, "Edward, Jasper, Rosalie, Alice, Bella, and you all have to join the school's cheerleading squad!"
"You're on!"
"You don't want to check to see if they want to put themselves on the line?"
"I'm going to win, pup!"
"We'll see about that!
"If I win...then you have to put on a cape, fangs, fake blood, slick your hair back and walk around the reserve and all around forks for an entire day. Whenever someone says anything to or about you, you have to say 'I want to suck your blood' using a cheesy fake vampire Transylvanian accent. "
"If it's a tie..."
"It won't be!"
"If it is...then you have cheerleading practise, and I have vampire duty. If it's a tie, we both lose."
"Can I time?" I asked. "This could be fun!"
"Sure Billy," Emmett growled.
"I'll set my watch for a minute...you can go one at a time, Emmett first." I set my watch and motioned to Emmett. "Three, two, one, go!" Emmett moved quickly, and as though this was something that he did every day. 50, 51, 52, I counted in my head. As I glanced at my watch, Jacob started laughing and Emmett paused for about five seconds to glare at him. "Time," I shouted. I quickly wrote down the number of push-ups that Emmett had completed on a small scrap of paper.
"I'll show you how us superior creatures do it, bloodsucker," Jacob laughed as he readied himself on the ground.
"Three, two, one, go!" I said one more. Jacob was just as experienced looking as Emmett had been, but moved slightly faster. Emmett whistled and ran around the house a few times before I yelled, "Time!"
"Who did more push-ups?" Emmett and Jacob demanded.
"Well, Emmett...you did 56 push-ups. Jacob, you did...56 push-ups."
"A tie?" Jacob and Emmett yelled in confusion.
"Yes," I replied. "I've gotta go tell Charlie about this!" I laughed loudly.
"No you don't! If you tell Charlie, I will cross the boundary line! Don't tell him!" Emmett growled.
"Fine, I won't!" I smiled. Slowly, I wheeled myself up the driveway and into the house.
Emmett's POV
How am I supposed to tell Alice, Rosalie, Edward, Jasper and Bella that we all have to run around in cheerleader outfits? Alice sure, but the rest of them? Rosalie will probably give me one of her killer looks, but she won't mind as soon as I tell her how cute she'll look in a cheerleader outfit. Telling Jasper will annoy him as much as sticking him in a room of PMS girls would. Bella will probably freak, punch me, and break her hand...again! Edward will laugh and hit me in the gut. Alice will say 'this will be fun' and dance off to get her cheerleading outfit. I'm doomed!
"What's your news?" Alice asked when everyone, including Bella, but minus the company of Carlisle and Esme had gathered around the piano.
"I kind of lost a bet with Jacob," I said cautiously.
"And it involves us how?" Bella asked suspiciously.
"I bet that I could do more push-ups in a minute than Jacob. We each placed our wages and said that if we tied, we would both have to do our losing tasks. We tied. Jacob has to dress up with a cape, fangs, fake blood, slicked back hair and walk around Forks and the reservation. If anyone says anything about him, he has to say 'I want to suck your blood' with a Transylvanian accent."
"OH MY GOSH!" Bella laughed.
"But...we all have to join the cheerleading team."
"WHAT?" everyone shouted at me.
"How can you tie? How could you?" Bella screeched. As I had figured, Bella punched me...but in the gut.
"Listen, it's us guys that have to worry! Guys don't join cheerleading squads! Girls do it all the time. Besides, you get to wear those outfits." I said.
"That show our midriffs!" Bella growled.
"It will be fun!" Alice said casually (I so called it!). Rosalie smiled faintly at me and walked out of the room with Alice and Bella.
"Never use us as a bet!" Edward warned. I got his drift and made a run for it."
