Chapter 2: Ideas

For the next few minutes, we sat in silence, pens scratching on the surface of the paper. Some of my ideas made me giggle slightly because I knew that I would have to force everyone to do it, but that would be part of the experience.

"I have another idea," I said once we had all stopped writing. "Anything that we come up with has to be done. Agreed?" Everyone nodded. "Good, so what are your ideas?"

"Pick me, pick me, pick me!" squealed Emmett.

"Oh no," everyone else groaned.

"I think that we should box each other and—"

"I don't think so," interrupted Edward.

"Come on, we said whatever we come up with has to be done, right. Anyway, you should also learn how to sword fight, and you should get a sword cane 'cause those are so cool. Anyway, we need to floor buffer race, I'll explain that later. You also need to pee in a urinal, just because, and besides, Edward needs to loosen up and take you into a bathroom so you guys can—"

"Emmett, I know you're not talking about my sex life!" Edward yelled.

"Nope, not at all bro; I also think that Bella has to get a tattoo—"

"Absolutely not," interrupted Edward.

"Fine, what about henna?"

"A what?" Edward yelled.

"Henna is a type of natural ink that stains the skin, but after awhile it washes off," I explained.

"It comes off Ed-ward, there's nothing to be worried about, unless, you don't want to ruin her perfect skin," taunted Emmett.

"Next idea?" I said in an attempt to stop the fighting.

"She needs to ride a llama or a camel," continued Emmett. "She also needs to break seven fun laws in seven days."

"What!?" yelled Edward again.

"Oh come on Edward, you really need to loosen up, it's not like anyone can catch us. Bella you also need to suck in helium from a balloon, you should also steal all the sauce packets from taco bell so Jasper and I can get into a sauce packet fight."

"You boys are going to clean up after yourselves, right?" asked Esme.

"Of course, Bella you also should break or make a world record. We also need to go to Texas and play poker in a saloon there and you need to lick a banana slug."

"Uh, why would I want or need to do that?" I asked.

"Why not?"

"Emmett are you done yet?" I asked.

"No," answered Emmett, Edward, and Alice all at the same time.

"A few more things more things," he promised. "You need to drink nine cans of coke at once."

"What!" I yelled. "Do you want me to die from too much consumption of carbon dioxide or sugar consumption?"

"You promised love," Edward reminded me, grinning.

I pouted, he knew that I hated it when he used my own words against me.

"You also need to so swimming with sharks…"

"NO, NO, NO!" Edward yelled, "There is no was that, that, is going to happen while your human."

"The last is, you need to have Jasper tie Alice to the chair and make her watch you wash one of her designer, slash, couture outfits in hot water."

"What!" shirked Alice, very, very, loudly.

"Bella promised," Emmett grinned smugly.

"I'm not going to do that!" I protested, yelling as loud as Alice had.

"I'm not helping either," argued Jasper.

"Fine," said Emmett said,

"My turn," said Alice, before I could argue back. She still sounded upset, "Bella you have to order from the kids menu at a restaurant, you also should paint a wall; however you want I might add. You should look for fairies in a mythical garden you also need to get a new car because yours is going to break down."

"Edward already told me," I sighed. "Can't we just get it repaired? Seriously, I like my truck, it has personality, it suits me."

"Nope, I saw you getting a new car, so you're getting a new car, and since you're getting a new car it has to be fast. You should also rename a crayon color. Uh the last thing I have on my list is that you and Edward should go swinging in the park together."

"Aww, that's a good one Alice," I said.

"That's all I have for now."

"I guess it's my turn now," said Jasper. "Uh, it's not much but I think that you should make a self portrait out of M&M's and Jelly Beans, uh you should also go to the state fair."

I started to laugh, "That's sorta on my list too."

"Ah, well I think that you should also buy a shopping cart full of things, but only use coins."

"What? Where'd that come from?"

He shrugged, "I live with Emmett, Bella."

"Ah," that was the only explanation I needed.

"I think that you should perform a monologue from a famous play."

"Why?" I asked confused.

"It seemed like it would be fun, I guess," he shrugged again. "Some of the other things on my list are, perform in a musical, don't ask me why, but I thought that it would be fun and different. That's the end if my list, I'll tell you if I come up with anything else."

"I'll go next," volunteered Rosalie. "Umm, I think that you should see Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower, especially at night, it's so pretty and Edward should go with you."

"That's a good one Rose," Esme complimented her.

"Thanks, I also think you should go horseback riding at the beach, to me that always seemed like that would be fun and romantic."

"Are you hinting at something?" Emmett asked, teasing her.

"No, I'm just suggesting things that I think that Bella would enjoy doing, and things that she can do with Edward. As much as I would have loved to stay human, she wants to be one of us, so I want that to be memorable."

"Aw, thanks Rosalie, that's so sweet," I gushed.

She smiled, "You're welcome, and to be honest, I think that having you as my sister would be a lot of fun. "The last thing that I have probably seems a little reckless, but I think that we all should go to Seattle and go-kart race. Everyone against each other, guys vs. guys, girls vs. girls, and a couples relay race."

Emmett started to laugh, "Sweet! More healthy competition, I'm so gonna win!"

"Hmm, you really think so?" Alice asked, eyes closed, fingers rubbing her temples.

"Yeah! I'm gonna be the champion of the Go-kart arena!"

"Hmm, anyone in the mood for a bet?" asked Jasper.

"I'm in, one-hundred bucks on Emmett," said Rosalie.

"I'll put fifty on Edward," I shrugged.

"You're not going to be betting on me Bella," he scolded.

"Why?" I pouted, "Did you see it in Alice's head that you're going to lose to someone?"

"Don't be ridiculous love; you know that would be cheating."

"Fine," I said smugly. "Then I can bet on you, and to give you motivation to win, you can choose and buy my new car, and I won't throw a fit about it, or the price."

"Anyone else want to bet?"

"I'll put one-fifty up for Carlisle," said Esme, joining in on our fun.

"Then one-fifty on Esme," agreed Carlisle.

"One-hundred on Alice," nodded Jasper. "Anyone else? Edward, Emmett, Alice?"

"Sorry Jazz, I'm not betting, I can bet on whose going to win, but I'll put one-hundred on you anyway," grinned Alice.

"One-hundred on Rose," chimed in Emmett.

"I guess I'll join in too," sighed Edward. "Three-hundred on Bella."

"WHAT!" I shrieked.

"If you can bet on me, I can bet on you. Compromise remember?"

"Fine," I grumbled, crossing my arms.

"Are you sure you didn't see who was going to win in Alice's head bro? That's one high bet, plus it on the clumsiest person in the universe."

"Thanks for the confidence Emmett," I scowled.

"No, Alice is the only one who knows who's going to win," Edward answered.

"Well then, this seems like this is going to be the race of the century," Jasper concluded.

"Oh yeah!" Emmett agreed. "I can't wait to kick all your butts!"

"Yeah, good luck with that," retorted Carlisle, rather unexpectedly.

"Is that the best you could come with old man?" teased Jasper.

"Very funny boys, but if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be here at this very moment, right? So show this old vampire some respect. Besides, we all know who drives the fastest." He looked at Edward, and then continued, "Your over confidence could be you're demise Emmett, I think a good beating would be good for you, you know, a wake up call?" Carlisle had effectively shocked the room into silence, not an easy task when you had Emmett to deal with.

"Well then," I said in an attempt to move the conversation into neutral territory, "any other ideas?"

"I'll go next dear," said Esme, a smile still tugging at her lips. "I think that you need to go swimming under a waterfall and shower under on too, and go to a place that's above the clouds. I know it's not as wild as some of the others," she glanced at Emmett, "but its romantic and they're things that—"

"That we've done together," Carlisle said grinning, finishing his loves sentence, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

I grinned, "Well then, I'm glad I'm dragging Edward with me for all this, even though it will cost way to much, it should be fun."

"That's the sprit! Whoooo! We finally made Bella into a fun-loving-risk-taking-almost-vampire!" Emmett cheered.

"Emmett, you're lucky all of us are used to your noise or else we'd all have headache," scolded Esme.

"As if vampires could get headaches," I muttered.

Everyone laughed. "Well then," said Carlisle, still chuckling, "I guess I'm last."

"Not quite," Edward contradicted him, "I have a few ideas of my own."

"Me too," I agreed.

Carlisle nodded, "Well I think that you two need to spend some quality time together—"

"They only have all eternity to do that," Emmett interrupted again.

Carlisle shot him a warning glance. "I think that you two should go on a sweet romantic date by the beach and then go swimming with dolphins."

"What if we see a shark that smells Bella's sweet blood, then what?" Edward asked when, his father figure paused. "That's why Bella's not going swimming with sharks Emmett."

"You are a vampire, right?" he asked. Edward nodded. "Well then, you'll figure out a way to save her. I also think that you should build a tree house, nothing brings a couple together more than hard labor."

"And we all know what kind of hard labor brings Emmett and Rose together," Edward interrupted again.

"Very funny bro, you seem to never leave dear Bella's room, what goes on in there, I wonder?"

"Shut up Emmett."

"That's enough," Carlisle intervened, effectively stopping the arguing for the moment. "I also think that you should learn an old language, why don't you ask one of the Quileutes to help you."

"Oh yeah," I snorted, "All the wolves are in a great mood since Jacob ran away, and it's not like they know why, every time that they phase they can read his mind, and its not like they can keep secrets from each other. Although Seth might help me, but still."

"Right, so I think that you should make a quilt that represents the best parts of your life, other than Edward," he added grinning knowingly.

"What's in my life other than Edward?" I asked.

"Bella, there had to be something in your life other than me," Edward sighed.

"Like…?"

"Jessica, Angela, Mike, Eric…All your other friends. What about Charlie, Renee and Phil?" asked Carlisle.

"Jacob…" Edward added in a whisper.

"Plus you have us Bella," Emmett added. "We may be his family, but we're not Edward, thank god."

"Hahaha right Em," I smiled a little sarcastically.

"You promised Bella," teased Alice


A/N: That's the end of the chapter, sorry that is was kind of an abrupt ending I really wanted to get out as soon as possible. Sorry that it took me so long to get it out I've been really busy.

There are a few things that I want everyone to know:

1) If anyone has read my profile lately, I have an announcement up, but it doesn't apply to this story, so if this is the only thing of mine you read then you havev no reason to worry. If you want to know what the heck I'm saying, go to my Bio page.

2) This goes wtih #1 but I have started a new Multi-chapter Kingdom Hearts/Twilight Crossover. I will be posting it when I find time, and that will be under the Kingdom Hearts section because I'm sure that everyone has heard of Twilight (even if they have not actually read the books) but not everyone has heard of Kingdom Hearts.

3) I want your input, I love feedback, as I'm sure most other authors do. Please reveiw! If you have an Idea for Bell's Vampire List, please PM me or leave it in a review.

I think thats it for now, I hope that you enjoyed the second chapter of The Vampire List!
