"Morning, Edward!" I sang as I woke and bounced out of bed. I was feeling strangely enthusiastic, even for a Friday. Edward looked up at me from the rocking chair and smiled.
"You're happy," he noted. "That's good, considering what's going to happen."
My brow furrowed. "What? What happens?"
Edward sighed. "Go get dressed. I'll explain over breakfast." I followed his instructions, puzzled.
"So?" I said as I got myself a bowl of cereal. "What's up?"
Edward frowned, examining his hands. "You're going to be spending the weekend at my house."
I raised my eyebrows. "That doesn't sound so terrible."
"No…except they're a little wound up right now. Especially Emmett."
"Ah." I winced. When Emmett got excited, I tended to get frightened.
"Emmett has started them all on some kind of ridiculous prank war. They seem to believe you're participating, too. And Esme and Carlisle are going to be out this weekend," he continued. "So there's no one to control them. You're not going to be spared, one little bit."
I shuddered. This would be interesting.

"Hey, Bella!" crowed Emmett as I sat down at our lunch table. "Aren't you excited about this weekend?"
I groaned inwardly. Edward had not been kidding when he said wound up.
"Ecstatic" I mumbled under my breath. They chuckled.
"We're going to have so much fun this weekend!" Alice bubbled.
"Yes, we will," Emmett enthused, smiling down at me evilly.
"Absolutely not!" Edward roared out of nowhere. "I don't care how funny it would be!"
"But, Edward-" Emmett whined.
"NO!" Edward cut him off sharply. Emmett pouted, while I looked around bewildered.
"Don't worry," Alice chirped suddenly. "He'll come around." She winked at the others conspiratorially, and they all brightened considerably, except Edward, who muttered "Fat chance," under his breath.
"What did Emmett want to do?" I whispered to Edward. He scowled.
"It involved a bucket of purple glitter paint, and a glow-in-the-dark clown head. Use your imagination; it's Emmett, after all."
I nodded and grimaced, imagining the prank Emmett would pull with those materials. I shuddered.
***************************
Some how, in the forty-five minute lunch period, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice managed to pull off a stunning total of thirty-two assorted pranks. All on me, of course. By the end of lunch, I was getting seriously annoyed. Then a terrifying thought struck me: if this was what they could do to me in one period, what would happen over the course of an entire weekend?
