" Jake you're insane!" Embry threw up his hands in retreat "I'm out... theres no way that would work, and theres no use in dying for it." Embry stood up from the sofa and started out the door.

"Yeah Jake." Quil agreed letting his presence be known in the small room. "I don't think it would even work...besides maybe we should just leave he-"

"No!" Jake spat slamming his massive fist on the table in front of him, which quaked feebly. "I'm not quitting!" Jacob turned his furious gaze to Embry, who stopped dead in his tracks and coughed uncomfortably.

"Well what about Sam?" Embry asked quietly. "Shouldn't he know about this insane plan of yours?"

"No..he'll try to stop me for sure."

"Well why the hell would he do that, besides your plan being totally insane?!"

Jacob shrugged nonchalantly. "No prob guys I'll go alone then."

Silence engulfed the room.

"Jake we won't let you do that." Quil answered slowly.

"Yeah man...it's not worth it."

"You think you could stop me?" Jacob ask challenging. "You really do?"

"No, but I think the whole pack could."

"Whatever, I'm going no matter what you guys do." He concluded crossing he arms over his chest looking oddly menacing.

Quil and Embry glared silently at Jacob who just glared back.

"Fine." Embry sighed. "We'll go with you."

Quil sent Embry a wary look to which he answered with his own. "Yeah..."

A hug grin spread on Jacob's face. "Really? Yes!" He said punching the air. "This will be way faster with you guys!

"I"ma phase and go meet Claire." Quil said standing up and joining Embry. "I think she'll want to know the reason why I died."

"You can't phase."

"Why not? I'll stick to the trees so no one will see...It's faster...and.." Quil started.

"Because then they'll know what we're thinking Quil...and stop us...Jesus calm down its only one day."

"What...? I-its tomorrow?

"Yeah."

Embry ran his hand through his hair. "Wow Jake, you're really something else."

"Don't worry the pack can handle themselves." He laughed lightly before adding " I can't wait to see that leeches face!"

"I don't want to die young Jake." Quil whimpered. "If he catches us-"

"He won't, and we won't die so stop whining! Now come on it's dinner at Leah's place again. If we're lucky Paul hasn't gotten there yet." Jacob laughed heartily, and strode out of the too small house. "Come on Quil and Embry...stop lagging.

"Hey Em." Quil whispered as they were feet behind Jacob. "What do you think are our chances to knock him out and bring him to Sam?..."

"He'd get us before we'd find a big enough crow bar, Quil." Embry sighed.

"Ow...Ow...OW! Geez Alice!" I screamed. "Are you trying to kill me?

"No Bella...it's just that..you're hair is so tangled in the back." She answered as she discarded another broken comb in to her pile. "It would be easier Bella...if your hair would stop eating my combs!"

Rosalie quaked with laughter behind us, smudging her blood red nail polish.

"Edward doesn't care how I look..." I said quietly, humiliated.

:I know Bella, but I care." She said pouting. "Besides I don't want you looking like a troll doll on you're wedding day."

I heard Rosalie snickering again.

"Hey, I thought this was supposed to be my party...you know...before I get..." I couldn't bring myself to say it.

"Married?" Rosalie finished smugly.

I looked at the white vanity with distaste. Yeah married...

"I thought we were supposed to be out having fun!" I finished.

"Bella we can have fun!...Later. We have to make sure you're ready for tomorrow. You have to be perfect!"

Alice said glowering.

I sighed crossing my arms. Alice could be so stubborn...

Suddenly a blue pillow hit Alice squarely in the face. I turned to Rosalie who was feigning innocence.

"Rose...i'm trying to work here."

Another pillow hit her in the face.

Suddenly Alice flitted across the room holding a pink feathered pillow in her hand, she was behind Rosalie before I could blink, and hit her on the back of her head. Rosalie scowled and tried to get her back but Alice was gone.

"Alice," she groaned "I wanted to have a normal human pillow fight..and here you go all vampire on me..."

"Sorry we aren't humans Rose." Alice laughed, suddenly standing in front of Rosalie, but it was Rosalie's pillow that was thrown,

"Fine have it your way Alice."

not wanting to be left out I stood from my chair prison and went for the first pillow I could see. A huge blue one...Perfect. I ran behind Rosalie and was prepared to strike when. I felt myself being knocked back with enough force that could send me flying, and suddenly everything was black.

"Bella?"

I heard voices above me, and my throbbing head was killing me.

"Waht happended?" I slurred, as I hesitantly opened my eyes.

"Alice...knocked you out Bella. You were out for about an hour." Rose answered.

"Oh Bella! I'm so sorry I forgot you were so fragile, and I was so caught up in the-"

"Alice it's ok...I just feel like crap." I answered.

"Bella I'm so sorry."

I sighed. "I'm fine Alice." I just want to go to bed."

"A-ah but you're hair..."

"Oh my head..." I groaned.

Alice grimaced at me. "Oh fine then...You can have Edwards room."

I got up quickly almost falling back down again.

"Here Bella i'll help you." I felt two cold hands easily pick me up.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

Meanwhile...

"Oh come ON, Edward don't be such a sissy!"

"No Emmet I told you NO... strippers!" I cringed at the word.

"Come on Edward." Jasper said. "It'll be fun."

"Being defiled by a half naked woman, would certainly not be fun." I scanned club frowning at my chances to escape. "I only need Bella."

"Geez Edward...loosen up. Candy will be disappointed." Emmet admonished

Yeah and I'll love to see the look on your face when she comes out.

I narrowed my eyes at him and he grinned back impishly.

"No."

They both stopped smiling and glared at me.

"We'll make you." Jasper replied.

We'll force you down and tie you down until she comes out.

"You wouldn't."

"We would."

"I'd kill you..." I snarled.

"We'd deal with that later." Emmet answered waving his hand nonchalantly. "Come on Edward you only live once."

I rolled my eyes.

"Get him jasper." Emmet whispered

Suddenly I felt oddly confused, and stood there dumbly as Emmett advanced on me with a rope on his hand.

"Come on Eddie, come quietly we don't want to attract too much attention."

Emmet sat me in a chair in the middle of the club, and backed away cheerfully.

A man with a micro phone spoke loudly in front of me, suddenly realization dawned.

"No..."

And now...with no further ado...We present Candy who will be giving this lucky man her signature lap dance."

A loud chorus of whoops and cheers followed

He winked down at me.

"No..!" I moaned again.

The red curtain burst open and standing there was...was what I presumed to be Candy.

She was a stocky woman with dishwater blonde hair, thin lips and way too much make up.

"No Emmet untie me now!"

She was walking towards me.

"No no no!"

I turned my head to Jasper knowing he was the most considerate of the two.

"Please Jasper..."

Jasper averted his gaze.

Suddenly I felt a hand grasp my thigh.

"Hey hun...," Candy drawled. "That one gave me a little extra to make this worth your while." She said nodding towards Jasper.
