Chapter 1
The Costume Store
EdPOV
"Alice must we do this? You know I hate dressing up!" I complained to my favorite sister.
"Yes, we must Edward," She said in a boring voice, looking through another set of clothes. Alice had decided that she was going to throw a Halloween party at the mansion. So my family and I were in Port Angeles looking for costumes to wear on the thirty-first. Even Carlisle and Esme were excited about the party and was going to dress up. I didn't want to do it, and I knew Bella wouldn't want to either. Maybe I could sneak away and stay over at her house. "Edward your not sneaking away." Alice said. I cursed slightly under my breath.
"Come on little brother. It's going to be great!" Emmett punched me on the arm. I glared at him. Just because Rose liked dressing up really scanty on Halloween doesn't mean that everyone else enjoys it. I know that I don't. He thinks about it too much afterwards. I shuddered a bit.
"Well I hope you don't expect Bella to come. You know how she don't like parties," I said smugly.
"What about me?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around to see Bella holding hands with a little girl.
"Wha-" I was about to question why she was here, but Alice cut me off.
"I'm throwing a Halloween bash, and your coming. So while you're here you might as well get your costume,"
"Okay. I'm just taking Gracie shopping for her costume. She's my foster kid I'm going trick-or-treating with," Bella smiled looking down at the girl.
We all signed up for the foster trick-or-treating program. Mine had already picked out a outfit. Which I was grateful for.
"Wait a second your ok with this?" I asked Bella dumbfounded.
"Yeah. It sounds like fun." She shrugged.
"But I thought you hated parties," I asked her.
"Well I do…but at least I'm not the center of it this time. Or am I?" She looked horrified.
"Nope!" Alice bounced. Bella sighed in relief.
"Well I'll find something later, right now I've got to find Gracie something to wear," she walked off to the back of the store.
"I can't believe she went for that!"
"Ha! Now you have no one to sulk with you!" Alice said smugly.
Yeah and now that Bella's coming then maybe you'll actually have fun. Jasper's thoughts filled my head. He really wasn't in the spirit of Halloween either, but since Alice was always excited about it then, Jasper seemed to be.
I sighed and finally gave in. I guess I would do this, maybe just for Bella.
I went to the back of the store, not really looking for my own torture (because I knew that Alice would pick out my outfit) but I was going back to help Bella with her child.
"Oh Gracie you look so adorable!" I could just hear the smile in my Bella's voice.
I could see into the child's mind, she too liked the costume she was wearing. I kept walking to the dressing rooms when I saw Bella's back and Gracie standing before her in a cute little pumpkin costume. I smiled, she did look quite adorable.
"Thanks Bella," She said shyly. "Can I get this one?"
"Of course!" Bella said, go change and then we can go pay for it ok?" The girl's face lit up and she skipped happily back into the changing rooms. I snuck up behind my love and snaked my arms around her, then kissed her neck softly. "Boo," I whispered in her ear.
She jumped about a mile, "Edward! You scared the crap out of me!" She turned around to scold me, but I put on my dazzling smile and she folded. "Just don't do it again." said breathlessly.
I kissed her again, this time on the lips, "No promises. I am a monster you know," I said teasingly.
She smiled and put her arms around my shoulders, "I know. I already have a costume for the party. Your going to love it." She said. I wish that I could just read her mind.
"What is it?" I asked, very curiously.
"I can't tell you. Your going to have to find out like everyone else. At the party," She smiled. Then she kissed me.
"Ewww! Boys have cooties!" Gracie had come out of the dressing rooms and saw us kiss. I dropped my hands from her hips, and she dropped her arms from my shoulders. We were both laughing.
"Come on sweetie, let's go pay for this," Bella took the apparel from her hands and started to walk to the register. As she walked by, she winked. I smiled back at her. Then stayed there until I heard the roar of her old truck and listed to it as it drove away.
"Edward!" Alice came bounding over to me, "Here. This is what your wearing. Everyone's ready! Let's go!" She handed me a shopping bag. "Of course she already paid for it. I searched her mind to see what it was, as I followed her out of the store. Well it's better than I expected. It was an old English looking outfit, I suspected it said something about Romeo on the tag. I knew you'd like it! Alice thought smugly. I stuck out my tongue at her.
A/N: Hey y'all! I hope you liked it! I'm doing this for the spirit of Halloween! I'll be updating everyday until Halloween and then it will be the Halloween Party. The Cullens and Bella are going to do some Halloween-y stuff in between. Each Chapter in a different POV. Next will be the Trick-or-Treat with the Foster kids in Alice's POV! Please Review!
LUPIN OUT!
