Summertime. Finally, it was here. The time of dewdrops and flowers, sunshine and peace. I was relaxing in the Cullen's living room in early July with Edward when Emmett and Jasper came racing in, vampire speed. They both looked strangely elated for some reason, and I could feel childish joy exuding off Jasper. Edward looked up lazily, then burst out laughing.
"Bella!" Jasper screeched. "Bella will agree with us, just you wait Edward!"
I looked up in surprise. "What??" I asked.
He was vibrating with anticipation. "Crabfest!" he exclaimed. I just stared at him. He looked back at me, anticipation and excitement changing quickly to shock and amazement. He then glared at Edward.
"You haven't told her what Crabfest is yet?" He thundered. I shrank back but he ignored me. "YOU HAVEN'T TOLD BELLA ABOUT THE GREATEST THING ON THE NORTHERN WEST COAST AND YOU ARER WORRIED ABOUT HER NOT LIVING TO THE FULLEST OF HER HUMAN LIFE?"
Edward stared back in shock, then regained his composure. "No Jasper, I thought Crabfest was over and not worth pumping her up." He spat the words.
"Well, you were wrong." Jasper said coolly. I just looked between the two, confused.
"Does anyone want to tell me what it is?" I asked. They both looked at me in surprise, as if they had forgotten I was there. I tapped my toe. "Well?"
Jasper, elation back again, jumped up with his back ramrod straight and held out a fluorescent green flyer in front of him with a rather oversized crab in the middle of it in front of him. He then started in an announcer voice.
"Ms. Bella Swan, for your amusement, I am very pleased to present to you, CRABFEST!! Crabfest is a magical thing that we discovered when we first lived in Alaska. Crabfest is a once-a-year event that all citizens of Kodiak, young and old alike, flock together to enjoy. Crabfest is a collection of rides, booths, food, games, competition and happy people! The locals have survival suit races and a huge parade and there is fresh crab and pork and the absolute best funnel cakes and cotton candy!" He paused for unnecessary breath. "Bella, do you and Edward want to go to Crabfest with Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and I?"
"No. Absolutely not," Edward started but I cut him off.
"Sure. Sounds like fun-why not?" I agreed. Edward gave me an incredulous look.
"Bella," he said quietly, "That's so dangerous though. There are rides that could break and people up there have guns and something could happen! Not to mention the fact that we have to get up there somehow, boat or plane, they're both dangerous."
"Oh Edward! Don't be a drama mama!" Emmett exclaimed, "Let the girl have some fun!"
Edward looked at me, and I gave him my best puppy dog face. "Pweeze Edward? Pweeze?" I begged.
"Awww…." He moaned, dropping his head. I just barely made out a muffled "Fine." Before I was tackled in a hug from Emmett with Edward. Jasper followed not too far behind, cheering. Alice then appeared from nowhere, adding to the pile. Before I knew it, we were all screaming and laughing and cheering. I realized then that I was going to Alaska. Kodiak, Alaska. I didn't know too much about it, except that I was in for a rough ride.
Whadda ya think? This is the beginning of a story for Child-Of-God13's contest. I plan to enter soon.
