I own none of these characters, except Mimi, Max, and Sage. The rest belong to the lovely Stephenie Meyer.

I was at the Cullen mansion watching tv with Edward, laying on his chest, when suddenly the channel changed to American idol. I turned around to see Emmett on the floor with the remote in hand. "Emmett, I was watching something!" I snapped at him.

He gave me his dimpled grin and laughed. "C'mon Bella, I wanna watch American idol. It starts tonight." He pleaded. I glanced at Edward, and he merely shrugged. Guess I get to choose. "Fine." I said.

I ended up watching it with him and got so into the auditions that I hadn't noticed the rest of my vampire family in the living room. Some of the auditions made us laugh, others made me want to just leave the room, and some actually sounded okay. But I know that they could never compare to the musical voices my family had; granted the only ones I've ever heard sing were Edward and Alice, but that had to mean that the rest of the Cullen's were just as good.

"You guys would be so much better than a lot of the contestants" I said out loud. Realizing what I had just said, I stood up and started rambling. "I mean, well, I've never heard all of you sing, I mean it was just an idea, I don't know why I said it actually, just caught up in the whole idol thing I suppose, please, just forget that I even —" That's when Alice cut me off.

"Goodness, Bella, even as a vampire, you still spazz out! You just gave me a great idea!!" In a blink of an eye, Alice ran up the stairs and back down with a huge stereo system in her arms and started plugging it to the TV. That's when I finally realized it wasn't a stereo…it was a karaoke machine. I heard Edward's laugh from behind me.

"What's so funny?"

"You're expression. You make it seem like you've just been sentenced to death." He laughed. Where have I heard that before? I thought.

Jasper came to my side and put his arm around my shoulder. "Don't worry Bella, she won't make you sing, she's just in the mood to hear her own voice and impress you." He winked. "Just go along with it, ok?"

I reluctantly nodded and sat back down. "Um, how long have you guys had a karaoke machine?"

"For about 20 years…give or take a decade." said Rose while filing her nails.

"Wow."

"WOO HOO, I CALL FIRST DIBS!" yelled Emmett. Just then, Jake came through the door with Nessie.

Nessie now look as if she were 14, but really she was only 3. They grow up so fast! Her curly bronze hair was in a long high pony tail and was wearing a black top with pink words that said Rock Star. Alice had also supplied her with a jean skirt and black leggings that Edward did not approve of. We moved about 2 months ago to Wisconsin so no one would notice how quickly she was aging and how the rest of our family wasn't; Jake and his pack (Seth and Leah) followed of course.

"Hi mama!" she ran towards me and I wrapped my arms around her. "Hi Daddy!" she smiled.

"Hello sweetheart…ask your mother." said Edward. Nessie gave him a "C'mon, really?" look and I raised a brow at her.

"Ness, stop beatin around the bush, they're not gonna wait long you know." Jake walked to the couch and watched us. Edward shook his eyes while the family just stared. Then Alice randomly started jumping up and down while clapping her hands and squealed.

Jasper placed his hands on her shoulders while she exclaimed, "Please Bella say yes! It would be better if we had an audience for this! Please please please please!" Soon enough, Nessie had joined in Alice's pleads, along with a few voices outside.

I looked at Edward questionably. I pulled my shield back so he could hear my thoughts. What in the world do they want? And who the hell is outside?! He smiled and gazed deeply into my eyes; he loved it when I let him read my mind. Well? I asked.

"Just say yes, love" he replied.

I laughed, "Alright, alright, yes…but yes to what exactly?"

"Oh thanks Bella! Thank you, you won't regret this!" said Nessie. Now, Nessie only called me by my name in public, never at home. That's when Seth walked in with three preteens behind him. "Bella, these are my friends from school."

A boy with shaggy black hair and baby face waved at us. "Hi, I'm Max. Nice to meet you." He looked chilled and laid back against the wall. A small blond girl with a pink streak in her hair and matching sweat pants walked up next to Max and rolled her eyes. "Thanks for not introducing us Maxi. Hiya, I'm Mimi, Max's better half; we're twins." Seth rolled his eyes at Mimi but gave Jake a knowing look, then resumed looking at Mimi.

"Fraternal, thank god" said Max. We laughed. They did look like polar opposites.

Nessie walked up to her friends and stopped. "Where's Sage?" she asked. Just then, a black haired girl with glasses, a gothic red corset dress that reached her knees, and fishnet gloves walked in looking at the ground. "Right here. Hello." She said.

Max walked over to Sage. "Sage is a little shy, don't worry. Anyway, Ness invited us over to hang out…we thought she had already asked you, since your parents are away." He glared at Nessie. Nessie just blushed and looked guilty. In public, we were all foster children to Carlisle and Esme and they were on a week-long hunting trip in Canada together.

"Oh it's alright." After everyone else introduced themselves, I asked, "We were about to sing karaoke, would you like to join?"

"OH MY GOD, OF COURSE!" exclaimed Alice and Mimi.

Jake whispered in a low voice only the vamps would hear, "She's like a mini blond Alice."

"I'm not much of a singer" mumbled Sage. Max smiled at her encouragingly. "But I'd be happy to watch you all." She said in a louder voice.

"Well than, let's get started!"
