A\N- I was on vacation and got hit by inspiration (ha it ryhmes!) so I wrote a little oneshot, could be continued if enough wished for it...:) ANYWAY, Enjoy!

It was a typical day at the Cullen manor; Carlisle was in his study reading yet another medical journal, Esme was in the garden watering the plants for the billionth time, Edward was composing a song for Renesmee again (she already had folders worth of sheets of music Edward had written for her), Bella was reading Wuthering Heights (Edward had not yet found the moment in which he could discreetly throw out the book without her noticing).

Rose and Emmet were in their room doing…"their thing", Alice and Jasper were playing a game of chess in which Alice was obviously winning (Jasper wasn't even trying at this point) and Renesmee was at Jacobs' in La Push for the weekend.

It had been years since the confrontation with the Volturi and at the time they were at peace with them. All in all, nothing much had changed over the years since they were stuck unchanging as vampires for the rest of eternity. It was useful being forever young, but frankly at the moment it was just plain boring.

Therefore, when the doorbell sounded it was the single most interesting thing that had happened all day, sad isn't it?

With a single sniff all the Cullens could tell that the person who had sounded the doorbell was in fact human, although he was long gone by now.

Probably fled out of pure instinct that told him that there was danger in the house. Poor human.

Although the human was gone, Alice opened the door anyway and retrieved a package that was lying on the doorstep seeing as though she was the only one (thanks to her visions) that had noticed that the human was actually a delivery man.

"Hey guys come here you'll want to see this" Alice said to the household, knowing fully well that they could hear her perfectly without her needing to shout.

Since none of them were really into what they were doing (with the exception perhaps of Rose and Emmet) it took them all but two seconds to suddenly appear in the living room beside Alice and the package.

The package was a large brown cardboard box, from the type you expect to be filled to the brim with styrophome.

Once they had all arrived Alice used her sharpened nail to open the box.

In it, were many bottles of some kind of ointment with large capitol letters written on the front spelling "ANTI-SPARKLE CREAM".

Emmet POV

What the hell? Anti-Sparkle cream? What's that supposed to mean? I could hear Carlisle whispering "I don't believe it, it's impossible" over and over again before I lost it

"Would someone please tell me what the hell is Anti-sparkle cream?"

Edward cleared his throat trying to look all knowing and superior, "Carlisle I think you should tell them"

Carlisle just appeared to have awoken from some trance, he shook his head as though trying to clear his mind from some thought and spoke in a quiet voice "I didn't think they'd succeed this is amazing" he then turned his eyes to us and spoke clearly

"The Volturi have been experimenting for a while now trying to find ways to overcome difficulties that concern fitting in with the humans, one of these concerns being our ability to "shine" in the sun, so to speak"

I looked around to see if anyone understood what he had said because I surely didn't

Edward upon hearing my thoughts decided to "dumb it down" for me

"He means they've created some ointment that allows us to go out in the sun without sparkling, a vampire sunscreen if you will"

"Wait seriously? This is awesome! Think of the possibilities…" my tone dropped near the end since I was so lost in thought of all the things we would be able to do now that we were able to go out in the sun…

All of a sudden Alice shrieked in that high pitched voice of hers "that's a great idea Emmet!" so I backpedalled in my thoughts trying to find out which one of my awesome ideas Alice decided was great

Edward was looking pleased as well, a rare thing indeed (see he already turned to glare at me) and the rest of our family were looking at us in various states of wariness and confusion

Surprisingly enough, Bella was the first to speak aloud "What exactly is Emmet's idea?" she asked in a cautious tone

I couldn't really blame her reaction, I was known for having some very interesting ideas…Eddie nodded in agreement before glaring at me again (he hated it when I nicknamed him)

Edward answered her, "Emmet thinks we should all go on a vacation at the beach in the sunniest place we can think of since we've all been cooped up in the rainiest place in the US for too long"

Everyone looked at me surprised, as though me suggesting something normal was astounding

Rose turned to me and smirked "wow Em, an actually doable idea I'm impressed"

"jee guys I'm touched by your belief in me" I muttered, ah but they didn't know of my secret motive…

Edward sniggered "but it appears Em has a motive…" Shit! How could I forget my annoying mind reading brother! Don't you dare Eddie I growled in my head

Edward merely chuckled "he secretly wants to see if he can get a tan"

Agh stupid mind-reading vamp!

You know what to do...
