A/N: Haven't you ever seen those hilarious Snuggie commercials? I think they're just silly enough to attract Bella's attention. I do not own the Snuggie company. Or the Snuggie factory. I don't even own a Snuggie. :( I also do not own Twilight, a sweater in a shade other than pink, or sensible footwear. Revieeew!
It was late, maybe half past eleven on a Friday night. Bella and Edward were curled up on his living room couch, totally wrapped up in each other. The television was just background noise; the real show was the flying sparks between the two. As Edward leaned down to kiss the tip of Bella's nose, the shift in position brought an image to her attention in the corner of her eye. She shot upright and clapped her hands.
"Bella?? What's wrong?" asked the very confused Edward.
"I need a Snuggie," cried Bella, pointing at the television.
Two weeks later…
I felt kind of silly, but so excited. Today was the day my Snuggie would arrive! Ten business days, and now it was finally time. Edward had glanced at me questioningly when I flipped out that night, but nonetheless, my perfect soulmate had immediately picked up the phone and called the number on the screen. So I wouldn't have to be snuggly alone, he had ordered enough for the entire family. And now they would finally arrive.
Eight was such an odd number for an order, so we had topped it off by purchasing a Snuggie for Charlie, two to send to Renee and Phil, and some miscellaneous Snuggies to give to my friends for Christmas. Yes, it was a little obsessive, but who wouldn't want a blanket with arms? It's got arms! Jasper had rolled his eyes, but Emmett was surprisingly into the idea. He got a little impatient and ruined a few of Esme's real blankets by trying to create his own Snuggie. Needless to say, this day had long been awaited by my vampire family.
I was at Edward's house while Charlie was fishing. Everyone was sitting in the living room. At first glance, it seemed to be a casual gathering; Alice was playing with Jasper's hair, Emmett was annoying everyone while Rosalie rolled her eyes. But the air was thick with anticipation. "It's almost time," intoned Alice. The ears of all of the immortals in the room visibly perked up. I, of course, could hear nothing. Before the doorbell could ring, Emmett had already raced to the front hall and wrenched the front door open. Judging from Emmett's bloodcurdling shriek and the speed at which the deliveryperson tore away from the house, I wasn't the only person in the house excited to open the package.
At lightning speed, the box was ripped open. Silence filled the room as we gazed upon the magic that was Snuggie. After a few minutes of silence, the tension was broken as Edward whispered, "That's it?" I pushed my arms through my Snuggie and curled up on the couch, beckoning Edward to come nearer.
The rest of the vampires were complaining. "The commercial made them seem so spectacular! It's just a blanket with arms," Alice whined.
"Yeah, what a bummer. Now what are we going to do?" asked Jasper. Carlisle and Esme wandered in. "Why did we order two dozen blankets?"
"They're not just blankets, they're Snuggies," I explained. With a series of shrugs, my family dissipated, leaving just myself and Edward embracing on the couch.
"I think Emmett was kind of let down," Edward whispered.
"I'm not. I love my Snuggie," I replied.
"I don't really understand the appeal, love."
"I guess I'll just have to show you."
And with that, I pulled his face closer to mine and kissed him. We stayed like that until Edward lifted his head, raggedly whispering too quickly for me to hear. He glanced at me questioningly.
"Didn't you notice? I never shivered once. At least from the cold…"
"I suppose these ridiculous blankets do have their positives..." He lifted my arms over my head, encased in blanket, and we continued.
