Edward
I
was in the just finished hunting as the sun began to rise when my
mobile started to ring, it was Jasper, I had it open to my ear ready
to listen before the first ring had finished. No one spoke when I
answered.
"Yes, Jasper?" I asked curious. He coughed.
"Oh,
yes. Hello Edward. I was told to ring you, erm, Bella, she called the
house phone, she's coming round." He said very awkwardly.
"Oh,
that's unexpected. Well I'll make my way back then" I said with
extreme suspicions and hung up.
I
was back at the house in a flash, expecting Bella to greet me as soon
as I came in but there was no one. I stopped to flash through peoples
thoughts, something wasn't right. Then I noticed Esme out of the
corner of my eye, it seemed she had 'company'
"...Esme?" I
said raising one eyebrow to the replicate dummy of herself she was
sitting next to. "I don't think anyone will believe you have
found a long lost twin if that's what you're planning." Then I
realised what today was, Aprils fools day.
"I'm not that
ridiculous Eddie, I'm ju-" I cut her off, "Esme please, I told
you stop calling me Eddie" I rolled my eyes as she continued
ignoring my comment.
"I'm going to play a trick on Carlisle!
He'll be down any minute so just go to your room or hide or
something please!" I laughed at her plan and glided up the stairs.
I was heading for my room but I could hear something, it was very low, coming directly from my room, I stopped to listen. It was the hushed giggles of Jasper and Emmett, trust those two to try and pull a prank on the mind reader, I stayed frozen trying to see what they we're up to. Emmett could only see darkness and was thinking of his next scandal, I couldn't help smiling, Rosalie is not going to be happy with what Emmett's got planned. As for Jasper he appeared to be lying on my floor and all I could pick up was he was uncomfortable. I silently paced to my bedroom and opened the door.
My
eyes widened at the shock, before my eyes there was Bella lying on
the floor, blood everywhere and no sound of a heartbeat. I heard a
hushed giggle from under the sofa, a booming giggle, and everything
clocked. I bent over the body, not able to believe how stupid Jasper
could be; I observed the doubling of height on this Bella imposter
and the blonde curly locks which has escaped from the girl wig he was
wearing. I grabbed the middle of the dress and yanked it, leaving
Jasper naked on the floor, "Bella! You're a man!" I said
sarcastically as I flipped him onto the sofa.
"Fuck it!" I
looked down at Emmett trying to escape from under the sofa; I'd
thrown Jasper on it with perfect timing. They both looked at me wide
eyed; I laughed and strolled back out.
Realising Bella was not here at all, I checked the time; it was still only seven in the morning. Bella wouldn't be up for at least a few more hours, it wasn't a school day after all. Considering it was Aprils fools day I had an idea of a trick I could do myself, with a quick decision I ran into Alice's room while she was still hunting, I swiftly grabbed all her clothes, bags, and shoes and made a run for the door. I made it out, and very proudly at that, now to hide them I headed round to the garage when out of nowhere Alice jumped off the house to in front of me. "Taking my clothes to be dry-cleaned I hope?" she said sarcastically. "......err, of course?" I said grinning innocently, I didn't have time to think of another plan to I dropped them and ran away. Childish but I'm sure she'll find worse today. Listening to the conversations inside, Esme was playing a prank of Alice and Jasper at the same time, I wasn't sure whether to go in and watch or roam around the forest. The thought of more pranks they may have inside made my decision for me. I walked in and out of the tall trees waiting for midday to go visit Bella.
After
what seemed like a week, the clock struck midday and I decided to
make my way to Bella's house, I was already close there and wasn't
going to risk going back home to find someone's replaced my Volvo
with a hatchback. As I got closer I began to hear Alice, curious and
weary to why she was here I walked faster. As I approached the house
I heard my name being called, in the voice I would give my life for,
Bella's. "Bella, love?" I called looking around from where her
squeal was coming from. I looked up to the tree to see Bella tied up
and hanging from the highest branch. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I
yelled as I swooped up to untie her.
Then I heard Alice again and
looked down. "April fools!" she winked at Bella and sprinted off,
I listened to her thoughts as she went through her plan for her next
prank, I laughed, and it was good. Back on the ground I placed Bella
down. "You believe me when I say Alice is evil now?" I teased.
"Just get me back in my room before Charlie notices!" she
ordered. I wrapped her in my arms and jumped up into her bedroom
window placing her on the bed and jumped back down. Giving her a
minute to get organised I strolled round to the front door and rang
the bell, Charlie answered looking especially smug, "Why hello
Edward, Bella will be down any minute, do come in" he said walking
over the living room. "Thank you" I smiled and walked in to wait
at the end of the stairs with my back to the living room.
"Why
don't you... Come sit here... and talk to me..." I watched him in
the reflection of the mirror I was standing by, I was just about to
reply when I noticed him slip a whoopee cushion under the seat. I
raised one eyebrow, he slowly looked towards me and realised I could
see him in the mirror, his eyes widened in shock like a child being
caught stealing cookies from the cupboard. He quickly turned around
and sat down, avoiding the whoopee cushion. "On second thought! Oh
look! The games just come on! No time for talking!" he said quickly
changing the subject and continued. "BELLS! EDWARD'S HERE!" He
yelled upstairs, Bella ran down the stairs and straight out the door.
Today was going stranger than any other April fool's day yet. I
watched her pace out to the edge of the street smiling to herself
suddenly she realised my car wasn't there and paced back over to
me. I held her waist still.
"What's the rush?" I
questioned, she laughed.
"I've got a prank of my own to do!"
she grinned and jumped on my back; I spun her round to my front and
began to walk into the forest.
"Look it's not even evening
yet, I'm sure you have no time limit, besides the house is a bit
crazy today, let's go to the meadow for a while?" Bella attempted
to get down.
"Do I really have a choice?" she replied
smiling.
"No" I smiled cheekily sliding her back to behind me
and sprinted to the meadow.
Time
with Bella goes faster and faster every day, before I knew it, it was
almost six o'clock in the evening and the sun was beginning to set.
I ran with Bella back to the Cullen house and let her down. She ran
up to the front door and pushed it, failingly.
"I think your
door's stuck" she said confused. I walked up ready to push to
open and went right through the wall, breaking a dozen bricks. I
glanced slightly to the right to see our real door and stairs.
"JASPER!" I yelled climbing through the hole. I needed revenge, I
suddenly had a perfect plan, and I ran down to the dungeon and got
two sailor outfits. "Jasper!" I called upstairs. "I have a
message from Alice!" he glided down the stairs eyeing up the
costume I held. "Uh, Alice said to send you down to the dungeon
wearing this" I made a disgusted face, the dungeon was
indestructible, the most hardcore room and of high use for a vampire
couple. "She said she'll meet you there" His eyes lit up, he
grabbed the outfit and dashed down there. Stage
one complete.
I laughed to myself.
"Emmett!" I said pacing towards the
kitchen. "Rosalie told me to send you to the dungeon in this" I
held up the outfit making a disgusted face again. He smiled cheekily
and grabbed it heading down the dungeon too. I laughed following him
to lock the door behind him, I waited 20 seconds and right on time a
double scream came from the dungeon and everyone sped together to see
Jasper and Emmett kinkily dressed as matching sailors running out the
dungeon, I walked up stairs laughing, "April fools!" I called
behind me.
