AN: I KNOW ITS SHORT, BUT I WANTED TO GET THIS ONE OUT THERE.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

"Why is Alice jumping out the window?" Emmett came down the stairs to meet Edward, Jasper and Rosalie down in the living room. Carlisle rubbed his temples; he knew if he could get headaches, he would have a major one right now. "Edward, please meet her under the window and get her."

"Sure thing" Edward got up from the couch and raced outside.

"I'll bet you two-thousand were in trouble." Emmett jumped over the couch next to Jasper and eyed him playfully. "Ok, but not two-thousand, make it worth my while, how about 10? Emmett rolled his eyes "fine, ten then" Carlisle stared at both of them. The look of shock completely absorbed his face. Everyone turned to hear the vase by the door fall to the floor.

"NOOOOOO, LET ME GOOO!!" Alice yelled trying to grab hold of the window pane.

Edward grabbed her by the waist and hoisted her up with his other hand he put his hand over her mouth to shut her up.

"Jasper looked over to Emmett with wide eyes; bet you five hundred she'll take down Edward."

Emmett leaned forward on the couch and saw the state of Alice. "Of course!"

"Alice Cullen! Behave yourself" Carlisle boomed from the front of the room. Edward stood there holding the smallest of his siblings in his hands. Slowly he sat her on the couch and quickly sat next to her just in case she wanted to escape again.

"I've called you all here for a family meeting" Carlisle began looking at all of his children.

Each one of them shifted nervously except for Alice, who had her hands folded across her chest pouting.

"It has come to my attention that as a father, I have never really given you an opportunity to learn the value of a dollar." He paused, "I see all of you have problems with money, and I think now is a good time to address this." Edward folded his arms across his chest.

"Edward, you cannot keep trying to buy Bella off by getting her whatever she wants." He started pacing around. "Alice, you've maxed out all ten credit cards we have given you, Jasper and Emmett," He sighed; he didn't even know where to begin. "I have half a mind to call Chief Swan and tell him about your gambling addictions. You do know that's illegal right?" Jasper and Emmett hung their head in shame. "Rosalie, all of your beauty products are covering the counters for all the bathrooms, I really don't see why you need all that stuff, your dead remember? No amount of creams or lotions is going to reverse that."

Carlisle stopped talking and stared at all the kids solemnly. Every one of them was quiet.

"Starting Monday, I will expect each of you to get a job." Emmett jumped up, "Carlisle…"

"Emmett, sit"

He sighed and sat down. "Now…with all of your looks and vampire charm, I'm sure all of you will be able to find one fairly quickly."

"Where are we supposed to find jobs at?" Rosalie eyed him suspiciously.

"Anywhere close enough to drive, and remember, find jobs that your good at. You have two days to secure employment." He sighed one last sigh.

"Alice and Rosalie grab your purses."

"NO CARLISLE PLEASE!" Alice whimpered.

"Boys, take out your wallets."

"I want ALL the credit cards, and for safety measures, I'm canceling all of them."

"What?!" Jasper was dumbstruck.

"From here on out, any money you spend will be from your paycheck only."

"Carlisle, how am I supposed to buy Bella that car?" Edward was horrified.

"Son, start saving now…" Edward shook his head in disbelief.

"Emmett and Jasper, any more bets, I will report you to Chief Swan"

"Ok" both of them grumbled.

"All of you dismissed, remember, 2 days."

YES? NO? MAYBE SO? REVIEW PLEASE..
