Disclaimer: I trust Stephanie Meyer with these characters more than me...
"I win! I win! Now you have to do it!" Alice squealed with glee.
"No! Alice! Bella is going to kill—"
"Edward, you made a bet, now it's time to go through with it," Carlisle said firmly.
"What if it doesn't—?"
"I don't care, Edward, I've got the clippers ready!" Rosalie grinned.
It all started as a simple game of 'Go-Fish', and had ended in a horror story fashion. It was bright as day outside, and the Cullens decided they would waste it away playing a card game. What began as a dull game of cards quickly escaladed into a high-stakes scenario. The family had taken bets. It quickly dwindled down to the last two players—Alice and Edward.
If Alice lost, she had to bleach her hair. If Edward lost, he'd have to shave it off.
Although it wasn't very fair on Edward's part. Whenever he guessed correctly, they would always accuse him of cheating. So in the end, everyone knew who would have to have something horrific done. Edward.
"Please, no! I can't, really!" Edward pleaded.
"Edward, it's childish to beg!" Rosalie grinned harder.
"What will Bella think?" Edward began.
"She'll think you're a complete loser if you didn't go through with it," Emmet said bluntly.
"C'mon, Edward, you'll never have to worry about getting too hot!" Alice mocked.
"You're insane. It's not like I could've won, you all were against me!"
"Because you most likely were! You and that cute little ability of yours," Emmet teased.
Jasper and Esme were the first ones out, so they sat on the side lines snickering. Esme was more concerned than amused, but even then she couldn't help but laugh at Edward's predicament. And he was clearly outnumbered!
"It'll be over in a couple of buzzes, don't worry!" Jasper called out from the sidelines.
"Esme, please!" Edward looked as if he could cry.
And in a few quick BZZ's, Edward had a light, new, summer hairstyle. It was too bad that there was no more trace of coppery hair…
"It's… all… gone!!" Edward said, astounded.
"Oh, look Edward! Bella's coming up the drive!" Emmet teased.
"She can't see me like this!!"
"But she has too!" Alice cried.
"No!"
"YES." Said almost all members of the family, pushing him towards the door.
There was a knock at the door.
Esme answered. "Come on in, Bella, tell us what you think of Edward's new hair!"
Bella looked.
"Oh Edward! You know that won't grow back!"
AHAHA! I'm sorry but I really wanted to have fun with this one! I always wondered if their hair ever grew back, and since I'm too lazy to reasearch... Let's just say it doesn't!! It fits better with the story this way. I wanted something a little silly, something I knew Stephanie Meyer wouldn't ever do... This FF was fueled by cupcakes, and was based off an idea I had in the shower... But I don't care if it's weird!! Please review, I really want to know what you guys think!!
Much, Isabelle Evans.
