Twilight Story: When The Cullens Think No One Is Looking
Okay, my second story (go check out my 1st one, "Another Note Passing With The Cullens") for Twilight. It's pretty much short stories where the Cullens act all goofy when they think no one is looking.
Emmett was at home, relaxing on the couch, bored out of his mind. Jasper, Carlisle, and Edward had gone hunting for the day. Alice, Renesme Rose, Bella, and Esme had gone out shopping for the day. He was left all alone, with absolutely nothing to do.
Emmett sighed. He had flipped through all 500 channels about 500 times, even slowing down to see if he was missing anything. When he couldn't find anything, he threw the remote to the other side of the couch and got up. If I go get a snack, he thought, something might come on by the time I get back. With this in mind, he shuffled over to the kitchen. Since he really didn't eat, he did what he always did: experiment with Renesme's human food. Carlisle was still set on her learning to like the junk, but she always refused. So, Emmett put a use to it in times like this when he was bored.
He pulled a box of cereal out of the cupboard, along with a jar of mashed carrots, a bowl, and a wooden spoon. Then he grabbed some orange juice out of the fridge and made his way to the kitchen table. As he mixed everything in the bowl, he made a mental note to never use the combination again. It wasn't that he knew he wasn't going to like it; he just liked variety, so he never wanted to repeat a combo. Grabbing his bowl and leaving a mess in the kitchen, he shuffled back to the living room.
As he sat down, he realized he'd only been in the kitchen about 2 minutes, so nothing on TV had changed. He leaned back, thinking what to do. If the TV is a bust, he figured, the radio can't be much worst. Luckily, the remote for the radio was right next to him, so he didn't have to get up again. Turning off the TV and turning on the radio, he changed the station to KRZ. The only thing he heard when he raised the volume was some random dude, who wasn't even singing. I hate commercials, Emmett thought.
Finally the commercial ended, and the first song came on. As the music filled the room, Emmett's eyes opened wide. His absolute favorite song was on: Careless Whispers by Seether. He absolutely loved their remake of the original song. He stood up abruptly, knocking his bowl of cereal mush to the floor, and grabbed his old fake microphone that had seen many of these outbursts. He screamed along with the lyrics as loud as he could into the microphone.
I FEEL SO UNSURE,
AS I TAKE YOUR HAND AND LEAD YOU TO THE DANCE FLOOR
AS THE MUSIC DIES, SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES,
CALLS TO MIND A SILVER SCREEN
AND ALL THOSE SAD GOODBYES
I'M NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN
THESE GUILTY FEET HAVE GOT NO RYTHEM
THOUGH IT'S EASY TO PRETEND
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A FOOL
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO CHEAT A FRIEND
THE WASTED CHANCE THAT I'D BEEN GIVEN
SO I'M NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN
THE WAY I DANCED WITH YOU
Whenever a guitar solo would come, he would play what he called "my awesome air guitar". He tried to play his air guitar while he was singing, which wasn't too easy when he was also trying to hold his microphone, too.
TIME CAN NEVER MEND
THE CARELESS WHISPERS OF A GOOD FRIEND
TO THE HEART AND MIND, IF YOUR ANSWER'S KIND
THERE'S NO COMFORT IN THE TRUTH
PAIN IS ALL YOU'LL FIND
I'M NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN
THESE GUILTY FEET HAVE GOT NO RYTHEM
THOUGH IT'S EASY TO PRETEND
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A FOOL
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO CHEAT A FRIEND
THE WASTED CHANCE THAT I'D BEEN GIVEN
SO I'M NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN
THE WAY I DANCED WITH YOU
-His "awesome air guitar"-
TONIGHT THE MUSIC SEEMS SO LOUD
I WISH THAT WE COULD LOSE THIS CROWD
MAYBE IT'S BETTER THIS WAY
WE'D HURT EACH OTHER WITH THE THINGS WE WANNA SAY
WE COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TOGETHER
WE COULD HAVE LIVED THIS DANCE FOREVER
BUT NOW WHO'S GONNA DANCE WITH ME?
-Air guitar-
PLEASE STAY
I'M NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN
THESE GUILTY FEET HAVE GOT NO RYTHEM
THOUGH IT'S EASY TO PRETEND
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A FOOL
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO CHEAT A FRIEND
THE WASTED CHANCE THAT I'D BEEN GIVEN
SO I'M NEVER GONNA DANCE AGAIN
THE WAY I DANCED WITH YOU
Though the song started to end, Emmett kept up with his air guitar-microphone dance, as though the music wouldn't end if he kept it up. He was having so much fun dancing to his favorite song that he didn't notice Alice on the staircase.
But Alice had noticed Emmett- a hysterical, screaming, dancing Emmett with the radio blasting and a plastic microphone gripped in his hand.
Emmett finally lost his energy, and stopped dancing. As he fell onto the couch, he finally saw Alice staring back at him, and his heart sank.
"Did…did you…see any of…that?" he got out.
"…Yeah…" Alice said.
"Oh." He just sat there, his eyes on the floor. That's also, by the way, when he realized he had dropped his mush, and he got a bit upset on top of the embarrassment that he hadn't even eaten any of it yet. "I…I thought…didn't you go out?"
"Oh…I had to come back for some more money. Uh…sorry I, uh, interrupted you". She eyed the door, and sensing that there wasn't anything else to say, she walked out, leaving Emmett to think…and clean up.
The minute she was out of earshot (which was about 10 miles away), Alice burst out laughing.
I love picking on Emmett.
Stephenie Meyer was too kind to him. :)
Reviews to an author are like blood banks to vampires. So make like a blood bank and review!
Oh, and check out my other story, Another Note Passing With The Cullens
And my website: .
I'm probably going to have each chapter dedicated to a different character. If I run out…well, let's just say Emmett may have stranger secrets!
