A/N: I have read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn; I am just pretending it doesn't exist. I won't say anymore about BD here, b/c I don't want to spoil it for anyone who is waiting until August to read the whole thing. I just want you all to know I already know what you're going to say, and you don't need to say it. Bella is already a vampire in my story, and has been for a while. I'm not going to say exactly how long a while, b/c this is just a little silliness to amuse myself and I'm not getting into her powers, blood dinking habits, etc. Chapters are probably going to be short, some are really short, but I will update quickly as I have everything written but the last chapter. That's for you to decide. Once I've posted the whole story a poll will be up for you to decide which car Bella chooses. Links to pictures are on my page.
Chapter One
EPOV
Bella stomped in the house growling under her breath.
"Stupid truck, don't know why I ever liked that THING! Should have never had Edward transport it to Alaska! ARRRGGGHHHH!!"
Emmett rushed in to the den ahead of Bella. He had been watching over her today. Bella was amazing at controlling her bloodlust, but we all still felt she shouldn't be left alone for long periods. So when she had said she wanted to go for a drive today, in her own truck, Emmett had volunteered to go with her.
"Eddie, your wife is freaking out. The Cullen Curse is catching up with her." Emmett grinned widely.
I cringed at the nickname. I was getting ready to tell Emmett off when I heard the most musical scream in the whole world.
"EDWARD!!" Bella shrieked from the front room.
"Coming my love." I was glad that the rest of rest of the family was still out on their hunt. Bella seemed extremely volatile at the moment. I peeked around the doorway and saw Bella tapping her foot. The water in Esme's vases was vibrating from the force.
"We are going car shopping NOW!" Bella looked livid. I didn't think I had ever seen her this angry, even as human. Not even when she broke her hand on Jacob's face.
"Bella, are you sure? I know how much you love the truck…"
"That piece of CRAP?! I hate that vehicle, Edward! I can't get it over 50 MPH and it smells like stinky mutt! I want a new car!"
I chuckled, earning a death stare from Bella.
"Sorry love, it's just that Emmett was saying the Cullen Curse had caught up with you and I didn't quite believe him." I was thrilled Bella wanted a new vehicle. I had never let on just how difficult it was for me to ride in it. Jacob's scent permeated the leather seats and now Bella could finally smell it.
"What's the Cullen Curse?" Bella looked confused.
"It's our need for speed!" Emmett yelled, bounding into the room. "The Cullen Car Curse means we need the fastest, most awesome cars on the road!"
I glared at him.
"Do you know what kind of car you want, Bella?" I asked, soothingly rubbing my hands up and down her arms.
"No," Bella pouted prettily. "You know I have no idea what types of cars are even out there."
This was going to be a treat. I could find the best car for Bella. Maybe a BMW right off the factory line in Germany, or possibly something Italian…my reverie was interrupted by Emmett's booming voice.
"I'll take you car shopping, Bella."
I groaned inwardly. I had "car shopped" with Emmett before and it never ended well. Salesmen crouched in corners crying because Emmett wasn't getting a deal. Or that time he asked if the Jeep he was looking at came in pansy pink for his pansy-ass brother (me, of course). I was horrified at the thought of Bella going to a dealership with him.
"You know Bella; we could just get Rosalie to do some modifications to the truck. Put in some new seats and a new engine?" I said hesitantly. Bella gave me another murderous look. When had she gotten so scary?
"Fine Edward," Bella said, her voice dripping with malice. "I'll go with Emmett instead." With that she turned and walked out the door to his Jeep, Emmett following her like an eager puppy.
"I know the best place for cars, Bella." I could hear Emmett's thoughts as they pulled out the long drive, and I saw him flash me a sheepish look in the rearview mirror as I stared miserably after them. The next idea I heard from Emmett had me out the door and in the Volvo chasing after them in a flash. There was no way Bella was going to be driving that!!
