Hi Everyone! Lizzy here! Here's the 2nd Chapter! Enjoy! ;) I'll upload the 3rd one very soon once someone REVIEWS! PLZ PLZ PLZ WITH A SPARKLY VAMPIRE ON TOP?

When I arrived at the beautiful white mansion, I was not surprised to see that both the house and every pine tree on their property were covered in Christmas lights. I gazed out the window, admiring how marvelous, and perfect everything looked with the house and trees dusted with snow, as my new soon-to-be family came out and greeted me.

Well, they all came out, but only one actually greeted me, if you could consider it a greeting.

"Bella, Bella! Come on, you have to see the decorations!" Alice said, nearly yanking my arms off trying to drag me inside.

"Let go of her, Alice." Edward seethed, as she let me go.

Edward scooped me up into his arms and gave me a passionate kiss. A much better greeting than the one that Alice gave me.

Once he had carried me into the house and released me, the rest of my family got to say hello.

The house looked amazing. Not that it hadn't before, but Alice did a great job with the Christmas decorations. By Edward's piano sat a humungous, lovely smelling Christmas tree, covered in Swarovski crystal ornaments. The banister was wrapped in garland and tinsel and there was a wreath on every wall. On the rarely used dining room table was a Christmas village, with every little building from a church and lighthouse to the M&M factory.

I was getting hungry, I went into the kitchen to make myself a sandwich, I was now at their house so much that they grocery shopped for me so I wouldn't starve. Edward watched me intently while I was applying mayonnaise, I began to wonder what Cullen's holiday festivities entailed. I was hoping that it wouldn't entail me being question about my phone call to the Black's.

"Hmmm…that can't be good." Edward said.

"What?" I asked.

"Alice is translating the National Anthem to French…" he replied.

This was beginning to answer my question about what we would be doing tonight. It most likely would not be fun. So I just sat there and ate my sandwich, dreading what was coming, while Edward watched me eat my sandwich.

"So Bella…how's that dog?" he asked curiously.

He knew something.

"His name is Jacob, Edward. And I don't know how he is." I replied, a tad annoyed.

"Oh. Ok." He said.

"Why did you ask?" I asked him.

"Well…Alice said something about having a vision of you calling the Black's…and I was just wondering what you heard from him."

"I heard nothing from him. Billy answered the phone and said that Jacob would be out for a while…but it seemed like he was making things up as he went along."

"Hmm…"

EPOV

I could tell that I was making Bella uncomfortable by asking her questions about the dog, but I really wanted to avoid whatever event Alice had planned. That's wrong of me…I should not be making her feel uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, love." I apologized.

"For what?" She asked.

"For making you uncomfortable. I should not have asked about the d-Jacob."

"It's Ok…" she said reluctantly.

"Are you done eating?" I asked her.

"Yes." She said putting her plate in the dishwasher.

"Are you ready to go face our doom?" I asked, hoping she would say no.

"No, but I guess we should go anyway. She will be coming to drag us in the-"

"Edward, Bella, come on! It's time for our first game!" Alice interrupted a tad too excited.

Wait…did she just say "first game"? Oh no…

BPOV

Oh, dear…more than one game! How would I survive?

I walked into the living room to my doom. At least it wasn't truth or dare. Oooo! Presents! I hope they didn't get me anything too extravagant…

EPOV

Aha! She slipped! Alice stopped translating! I got two words: gift exchange. I wonder what that entails…

Alice began to explain as the other seven of us sat in the large room, wondering what was going to become of the night.

"Alright! We are going to have a gift exchange!" she said excitedly, "Ok. Here's how it works: I have gotten a variety of gifts. Each person will draw a number from this hat and whoever has one will go pick a present, and we will go in numerical order from there. Whatever present they choose, they will have to use. So, everyone pick a number…"

"Umm... Alice?" Esme asked while everyone picked a number, "Where is the 'exchange' part in this?"

"Well…this is not how it is usually played…I have put a twist on it…but to answer your question, I am exchanging gifts with you."

"And what are we giving you in return?" Asked Carlisle.

"A good laugh!" Alice replied.

"Uhh…Alice? You did not pick a number." I said, a bit suspicious.

"Well, someone has to record all these precious holiday memories so we can just replay them over and over again…" Alice replied slyly.

"Could that someone be me?" my Bella asked hopelessly.

"Well, I picked out all the presents, so really it would be no fun for me to play." Alice retorted.

Leave it to Alice to weasel herself out of playing one of these stupid humiliating games of hers.

Oh, great. I'm number one. From what I hear, Emmett is 7, Rose is 3, Jasper is 2, Esme is 6, Carlisle is 5, and that makes Bella 4.

"Ok. Who's one?" Alice asked.

"That would be me." I replied. I walked over to the pile of presents and went with a lovely box wrapped in dark blue paper.

APOV

Yes! I knew he would choose this one! This will be good. A secret will spill. Payback for not getting me the Porsche with the doors that vertically swing open.

When he opened the box, I saw a look of horror settle on his face.

"Hmm… a variety of emu-oil products…" He said, staring at them.

"Well…Edward…go, ahead. Put on the lotion and lip balm." I said. The story should be coming soon!

He didn't move.

"Edward, are you an emu-vegetarian or something? Are you unable to use emu products?" Emmett asked. He knew I chose that for a reason. He wanted to know what the reason was.

EPOV

Oh, no. I was going to have to use these!

I had to do it soon, before the questions started coming. I couldn't let Bella, or anyone else for that matter find out my secret. Way to embarrassing.

I reached into the box and pulled out the Purple Emu lip balm. My hands were shaking as I applied the "vomitrocious" lip-healing product.

"Umm...Edward, why are your hands shaking?" Bella questioned.

"Yes, Edward. Why?" Alice asked, with a wide grin on her pixie-like face. She knew what was coming.

Go ahead, Edward. We're waiting. Alice repeated over and over.

Soon, there were many more voices in my head, and I couldn't take it anymore.

"Ok, ok. So one day, in my human life, my friend, Henry, decided to take me to an emu farm, to see the eggs hatch. I was sitting on a bench by the fence, waiting for the eggs to hatch. I was eating my lunch, a turkey sandwich, and the emu started to walk in my direction. Henry and I thought that the emu was coming over so that we could pet it, but we were wrong. Apparently, the emu was hungry, and wanted my sandwich! It started to peck me, so I ran. It followed me! I don't know how it got past the fence, but it did, and it chased me around the farm. Henry, the good friend that he was, just stood there and laughed while he watched me being pecked. They set the animal trainer to come stop the emu, but by the time they weren't moving quickly. So eventually, the emu caught up with me, took my sandwich, and bit my finger in the process! Ever since, I've been terrified of anything having to do with emus."

There was a brief silence, broken by Emmett when he burst out into laughter. I hate him...
