I do not own these characters…Stephenie Meyer does :(

Truth and Dare: Cullen Style

Chapter 1: Rules

Bella's POV

All eight of us were sitting around the living room watching the afternoon news. Renesmee and Jacob just finished lunch and Jacob was taking Renesmee to the cottage for a nap. Once they were gone everyone sighed, our entertainment just went to take an afternoon nap. I closed my eyes and leaned back into Edwards's chest. No more than two minutes had past when I sensed someone way to close to me. Emmett's boyish face was inches from mine. He had the goofiest smile plastered on his face, and a mischievous look in his eyes. "What is it Emmett," I laughed.

"I have a brilliant idea," he whispered even though everyone could still hear him.

Before I could ask what his "brilliant idea" was Alice let out an excited shriek.

"Emmett that's genius," she yelled.

"OK I give, what's this idea you have?" I asked with a hint of curiosity and a lot of worry.

"Truth and dare," he said.

Truth and dare, hmm…I never heard of that. "Emmett, what's truth and dare? I've heard of truth or dare but never truth and dare," I said confusion clear in my voice. Everyone burst out laughing, even Carlisle and Esme. I had unshed tears in my eyes and an angry pout on my face, which made Edward stop laughing. He tried to pull me closer to him, but I shoved him away and continued to pout.

"I'm sorry love, I forgot that you have never played truth and dare with us before. Please forgive me," he pleaded with sad eyes and his crooked grin that made my still heart want to beat.

"How could I not forgive you when you dazzle me like that?" I asked. He gave a small chuckle and pulled me against his stone chest and kissed my head. "Now can someone please explain how to play truth and dare to me?" I pleaded.

"It's basically truth or dare, except you have to do both a truth AND a dare," Esme explained.

"Oh I see, thank you Esme," I said.

We all agreed that we would play the truth half of our game at home around the dining room table, and we would go to the mall to carry out our dares. I was feeling a bit nervous as we all stood up and shuffled to the table. We all sat around the table, Carlisle at the head and Esme to his left. To Esme's right was Jasper, to his right was Alice, to her right was Emmett, and to his right was Rosalie. Bella sat to Rosalie's left, with Edward to the left of her, and then back to Carlisle on Edward's left. We all settled into out chairs and began our game.
