Chapter One
Bella's POV
It all started out one ordinary, rainy Saturday, I was over at the Cullen's house. The only thing that was different was the fact that the T.V. was on, and we were watching it. I really, really wanted to watch the races. Not just any races, though. They were car races! I know it sounds kind of odd, but it gets even odder, much odder.
I was so excited about the racecars, that I did not even spare a thought for Emmett. For everyone, that is the Cullen family and me, knew that when Emmett saw something and set his mind to it, there was no, I repeat NO, stopping him. So you think that I would at least thought about that when I started to watch it, but no, I did not
Edward's POV
Normally the T.V. is never on, but this is different, this is something Bella really wanted to do, and her wish is my command. So naturally I ended up watching it with her. Emmett was at the back of my mind. You think that would have changed after centuries of living with him, for I knew him the best, and I knew that he had a big head, filled with ideas he HAD to try, for fear he may die if he did not do it right away, and he did not care who say.
So when Emmett came down stairs, I did not even pay attention to it. I was… oh how did Bella put it? Oh that's right, dazzled! I was dazzled by Bella's charm, not to mention beauty.
Bella's POV
By this time, the cars were going over 100 m/h. If I was not watching the races so intently, I would have begun to feel self-conscious, because of the way Edward was looking at me.
You would think that by now, I would have remembered Emmett, and how much all of the Cullens love to drive fast, but no. I was still oblivious to what was going on, until after it happened, that is.
In fact, I did not even think about Emmett until he came clomping down the stairs, quite loudly for a vampire, I might add.
"WOW," he yelled, causing me to jump and cover my ears.
Emmett's POV
When I came down stairs, I heard that the TV was on. That NEVER happens! That's when I saw what they were watching. It looked like little toy cars, going really, really fast! Only they weren't toy cars. They were real cars!
"W-O-W! That is SO cool!" I yelled, causing Bella to jump and cover her ears, which in turn cause Edward to glare at me.
"What IS that?!" I asked, trying really hard to lower my voice, expecting Edward to answer, but instead it was Bella.
"That," pointing to the TV, "is racecar driving," she replied. Then looking puzzled she asked, "You've heard of racecars, haven't you?"
"NO!" yelled Edward, ruining my chance.
Edward's POV
"NO!" I yelled right as soon as Emmett even thought about doing anything, but I also made Bella jump and cover her ears for the second time that day, and I felt horrible for making her ears hurt, for a second time that day.
"No," I repeated, mostly for emphasis.
" No what, Eddie," Emmett asked using my nickname, that he knew I loathed.
I had to remember NOT to kill him, at least no right here. He was getting an idea formed, and I did NOT like the look of it.
"No," I repeated again, "you have not heard of them, and nor will you ever again. Is that clear?" I added a threat to my tone.
" Yes, sir," he replied sarcastically.
Bella's POV
Wow, I had forgotten how loud Edward and Emmett could be. I had a huge headache right now. There was just on thing that I can not get, not even for eternal life, and that was why Edward does not want Emmett to hear about racecars.
That question, in itself brought the answer. It was like a light bulb suddenly dinged on over my head, though it was not the entire answer. I was suddenly scared as I realized what I had done, even if it was not the whole answer. I had given Emmett the idea to get into racecar driving.
I watched as Emmett left, looking crestfallen and mad, but there was a hint of something else. It was something I knew quite well. It looked like just a hint of determination, but I knew it was much, much more than that.
Emmett's POV
I can't believe that Edward thought so little of me. He can't honestly believe that I actually want to go drive these "racecars" as he called them. I only want to watch it.
I think that it would be SO much fun to drive these cars, but I want to do more than just drive in a circle, going over 100 m/h. Why do I keep torturing myself?!
I WANT TO DRIVE RACECARS!! The only problem is, how do I get around Edward. I know that he knows that I want to do this, REALLY BAD!!
I know what I have to do. I have to sweet talk him. Then he will let me do it, I hope. Then Rose, she will be tricky, but she will come around, the family will soon follow after.
Got it! I will just…
"Don't even think about it," Edward warned.
Crap. He is going to be really hard to convince. Maybe if I convince Jazzy, he will convince Rose AND Edward. Hmmm… that might work. The question remains. How do I convince Jasper? I know, I will use Alice…
Edward's POV
" I know it, I just know it," I kept saying to Bella.
"Know what," She asked for about the tenth time.
"He has a plan. I just wish I knew what it was. If I was Emmett, what would I do?"
"Well if I was Emmett, I would probably use Jasper. If you convince him, he can convince the entire house."
"Of course," sometimes I don't get how Bella is so… I don't know. It is like she is a mastermind or something. That is just one of the many things that make her so beautiful to me.
"I have to get to Jasper before Emmett does. Jasper is so easy to convince. It would not take Emmett very long to convince him."
"What I don't get is how come Emmett can't just drive a racecar. Why is that so bad?"
"Because he will want to win. He will try and try until he wins. He won't give up, and when he loses, WE have to hear about it for decades."
"Oh I see," when in fact, she did not see at all.
"I will be right back, I have to go talk to Jasper," and with that I was gone. I HAD to get to Jasper first!
Jasper's POV
One moment, I was cuddling with Alice. I heard Alice sigh and get up. I had no idea why. The only time she ever does that is when…
I did not get a chance to finish my thoughts because Edward and Emmett, both, slammed into my room. They started shouting things at me, which I could not understand.
"SHUT UP!!" I bellowed giving the desire effect I wanted, though I could have just used my powers.
"Edward, will you tell me what exactly is going on," I asked.
"Of course," Edward started.
"No, I want to tell him," Emmett interrupted.
"Emmett, lit him continue, please," I replied coolly.
"Well Bella was watching racecars," Edward started again. By the time Edward was done, Emmett was begging me, and Alice was laughing.
"Emmett," I began, choosing my words carefully, "I don't think that you driving racecars would be the best idea."
"Why not," Emmett whined.
"Simply because you could expose us."
" Yes, but you can't know that. I might be really good, then I won't get mad and brake something, like last time."
"Yes, you might be right, but you are persistent until you get what you want. I am simply not going to take the chance," ending our conversation.
