Fiesta Night
"Ham tastes more like poison ivy when its hair has been dyed magenta and corn-rowed!" shrieked a little voice from downstairs. Eight people immediately appeared at the dining room table.
"Alice," Carlisle complained, "this is the fourth time this week you've used that random code-phrase to call a super-secret vampire emergency meeting. It better be something more important than 'Lady GaGa is going to perform on American Idol next Wednesday!'"
"Trust me," she assured everyone, "It is. You see, I've recently decided that being immortal is a little bit boring, so I think we should do more things in our family to have fun. I think the first Saturday night of every month should be a Cullen themed night party thing." Seven pairs of eyes looked at her in a disbelieving and slightly annoyed way, but Jasper decided to be loyal and play along.
"That would be this Saturday. Do you have any ideas on what our first theme should be?"
"I was thinking… FIESTA NIGHT!"
Edward groaned as he looked at himself in the mirror. He was dressed up like a member a mariachi band complete with a sequined sombrero with little fuzzy balls dangling off the edges. Alice had even talked him into drawing on a fake mustache with magic marker. Evil little manipulative psychic, he thought to himself, If only she hadn't threatened to spray easy cheese up my nose and tell Aro I wanted to start a double-dutch team with him…
Suddenly, a strange sound started coming from downstairs, one he did not recognize. Edward raced down to the kitchen where he found Jasper in a bullfighter outfit cooking some sort of food.
"Uhh… Jasper? What are you…?"
"Making tacos."
"Why?"
"Did anyone else in this house ever live in Mexico?"
"No…but…why are you making tacos?"
"For fiesta night, genius."
"I know, but why are you making tacos? We don't eat, remember?"
"Yeah, but we're going to have a taco eating contest to see who can force down the most tacos before they make themselves throw-up."
"Ha! That actually sounds kind of fun… or at least entertaining."
"Well, the party starts in an hour, so go do what ever you want until Alice calls everyone down." Edward wandered back up to his room where he decided to practice his new guitar. Alice had gotten it for him recently, and he had a bad feeling he was going to have to use it tonight.
