A/N: So, I guess I technically did not put a note at the beginning of this, SO...I will let you in on this...I have had these written (everything that is written so far, plus like several more chapters) for months, but never posted them. They were random oneshots that just happen to fit together. If you are a reader of my other works, you will probably like these, and do know that if you read Our Connected Familyrevised, I am going to get back to it, just not until I can catch a break from school. Please enjoy...

Alice Cullen was good…great even…in a lot of things. However, auto mechanics was not one of those things.

When she had discovered that her parents had put her in the auto mechanics class, she had thrown a fit…she had also gotten grounded for her actions, by her father. He had told her that he and her mother were looking out for her best interests, and that fashion was the last thing she needed to take as a class.

So they had put their foots down and told Alice that she would do everything that she could to excel in the classes that they had registered her for.

When she had stomped her foot at her father, and told him no, her mother had sent her to her room.

So, now Alice was taking her second test of the semester.

One that she knew she was going to fail, because she had failed the first one. It had taken everything that she could to hide that small fact from her parents, especially since Emmett and his big mouth was in the same class.

Alice was sitting quietly in her desk, staring at her test. She didn't even know what the first answer was.

She looked over towards Emmett. He was nearly done with the first page. She silently scooted closer towards her brother.

She quickly jotted down every answer that he had on his paper, when her own paper was snatched out from underneath her.

"Ms. Cullen, what exactly do you think that you are doing?" The teacher, Mr. Sparks asked. Alice looked up at him.

"Nothing sir." She replied, refusing to meet his gaze.

"I believe that you were cheating off of your brothers' test."

"Why! Mr. Sparks! I would never!" Alice said.

This did nothing more than anger Mr. Sparks even more.

"Ms. Cullen, go and stand in the hall." Mr. Sparks said.

Alice looked up at him in shock. Could he seriously be serious? Was he really sending HER to the HALL?

Emmett burst out laughing…Alice sent him a look that would have killed him, if looks truly could do so. Slowly, Alice walked to the door, opened it, then slammed it shut behind her.

She was in so much trouble now, it wasn't even funny. Her parents were going to kill her…

And, the worst thing about it was, that there were to many decisions in the works for her to get a clear picture on what was going to happen when she got home.

Emmett's POV

Ha! For once it is going to be ALICE that gets in trouble at school and not me! YES! I can't WAIT til' mom and dad find out!!!!

Alice's POV

This was the worst day of my life. I cannot believe that I got detention and a note sent home. It would all be okay, except that Emmett and his big dummy self, knows that I got in trouble.

If he thinks for a minute that I am going to tell Mom and Dad, then he is sadly mistaken. I cannot believe that this happened to me.

Of course, had mom and dad not made me take the class, then I wouldn't have gotten in trouble in the first place.

Oh, I am sure that they will find out, but only if I can't figure out how to talk Mr. Sparks into passing me…which at this moment I am definitely not.

I seriously have a 48% in his class. And that is by sheer luck.

If I don't figure out how to fix this, I am going to be dead. Or, rather, deader than I already am.

AFTER SCHOOL

Rosalie was driving me, Jasper, and Emmett home. I was too young to ever be able to drive, though I always tried to let Mom and Dad let me drive. But we usually move before I would ever age to be sixteen.

"Alice you're gonna get in T---R---O---U---B---L---E!!!" Emmett sang. I turned and looked at him.

"Emmett, if you tell them, I will tell them what you REALLY did to that squirrel that they wouldn't let you keep!" I yelled at him.

"Guys, both of you shut up! We are nearly home, do you WANT Mom to be able to hear you arguing?" Rosalie said.

"Rosie...please make him stop!" I whined to my older sister. She looked at me and then slapped Emmet on the leg.

"Leave her alone, ok?"She told him. He nodded, but then stuck his tongue at me. I turned towards Rosalie, but she had missed his action.

I looked at her, huffed, and then sat back down in the seat…It was going to be a long night.

THE NEXT DAY

I could barely contain myself until I got back into auto mechanics class. I had threatened Emmett within an inch of his life if he told on me, so I was pretty sure that he wouldn't.

He sure didn't want mom and dad to find out about that squirrel.

Rosalie must have said something to him to again…I loved my big sister, even though we fought, she still took up for me all the time.

I took out the signed piece of paper that I had forged Moms signature on. Emmett didn't know that I was supposed to get anything signed. He had just assumed that I had to tell Mom and Dad because of a meeting with the school or something stupid like that.

But, I had studied Mom's signature for a long time last night, and had finally gotten it nearly perfect. It had been nearly four this morning before I had even come close.

But, now it was there, and I was going to turn it into Mr. Sparks.

I was home free now.

Emmett's POV

I couldn't believe it when I watched Alice turn in that signed note. I saw mom's signature, but I knew that it wasn't really Moms. Both the 'rents had been way to calm last night for Alice to have shown them that note. If they knew, they would have thrown a fit. Or at least grounded her.

That could mean only one thing. She had forged that note.

I was SO gonna call her on this one.

She would have to do EVERYTHING that I told her, or we would SO be having a chat with Ma and Pa….

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA….THIS IS GOING TO BE FANTASTIC!

Alice's POV

This day had gone much better than yesterday.

That is until I got home.

As soon as Rosalie stopped the car, Emmett had told me that he had something to tell me. I stopped and starred at him. Then I was hit with a vision.

"I know that you forged Mom's name…and if you don't want her to find out, then you have to do everything that I tell you to do." Emmett said with a smirk on his face.

I wanted to slap him.

How could he do this to me?

"Emmett, I will just tell them about the squirrel." I told him. He was still nervous that they would find out about that. If that didn't work, then I knew that nothing would.

"Go ahead, they are going to be way to consumed with you to worry about me." Emmett said with a grin on his face.

I came out of the vision and looked at my older brother. He was smiling. He was also the biggest idiot that I have ever seen.

So, I did the only thing that I could think of.

I leaped over his head, and landed on his back. I wrapped my legs around him as much as I could, then had one arm wrapped around his throat, and the other I was beating him over the head, trying to kill the few brain cells that he had left.

"Ow! Alice! Get off me!" Emmet yelled, running in circles trying to get me off of him. There was no way that I was going to let this one go.

"Say that you wont tell Mom and dad what I did then!" I screamed at him, and continued to hit him over the head.

"Fine! Fine! I promise that I wont tell Mom that you are failing that class and that you forged her signature!" Emmett yelled.

"Excuse me! What in the world is going on here, and what is Emmett talking about, Alice Cullen?"

I froze, mid hit, on Emmett's back.

Mom and Dad were standing outside, staring at us. Getting angrier and angrier by the second.

"Alice get off of your brother this instant!" Dad yelled. I looked at him. He rarely ever yelled at me. In fact, I could probably count on one hand how many times he had actually yelled at me.

"Alice Cullen , what do you have to say for yourself?" Dad asked me. I looked down at my feet.

"Nothing." I muttered. I couldn't think about anything better to say, but apparently that wasn't going to work for them either, because this time Mom took her turn.

"Alice, we do not appreciate being lied too. You will tell us why you were hitting your brother and what your brother was talking about when he said that you were failing and had forged my signature."

"Um…" I started, then stopped. I looked down.

I was in so much trouble.

"Emmett?"

Crap. Mom knew what she was doing. Emmett would spill everything.

"Um, well, Alice kinda cheated off my test and got caught, then she forged your signature when she got afraid to tell you that she cheated." Emmett rambled off in about five seconds.

I sighed.

I knew that Mom and Dad would turn on me this time.

"Alice, you are grounded. Your mother and I will be having a long talk with you and your teacher. Especially since you are failing. Do you have anything to say for yourself?" Dad asked.

I could tell that he was upset with me. So was mom.

"I TOLD YOU THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THAT STUPID CLASS IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

I never learn. I always speak out during times like this, even though I know that it is the dumbest thing that I could possibly do.

I knew that I was correct when Mom walked over and grabbed my arm, pulling me with her, Dad close behind.

She marched into Dad's office and she pushed me gently onto the couch.

"Okay, Alice. This is how this is going to go." Dad said, I stared at him, and I knew that I had defiance written all over my face.

"Alice, don't make me wipe that look from your face, especially after everything that you have done in the past two days." Mom said. I cringed. I knew that she was serious.

I removed that look as best as I could.

"Okay, young lady, you will write a note of apology to both your teacher and your brother. You will also be grounded for two weeks for forging your mother's signature, then you will be grounded for cheating and receiving a failing grade. Do you understand?" Dad asked.

I shrugged, showing them that I could care less.

Shit, why did I do that?

Mom came over to me calmly and slowly, to the point that on her way, I regretted instantly my actions.

She pulled me up and smacked my backside several times then pushed me back down in my seat. And, it stung.

My mother is the gentlest soul…until one of two things happen: someone threatens her kids or one of her kids misbehaves.

I knew better than to shrug again.

"Sorry." I whispered.

"Alice, we just want you to realize that we want you to be safe. Part of that safety is to ensure that you behave in all situations. Your punishment will remain the same. Your mother will be going with you to talk to your teachers, and you will be apologizing to your brother." Dad said.

I looked up at him.

"It is Emmett's fault that the fight started!" I said in a low whine.

Mom raised her eyebrows, and I cowered down. I sure didn't need to push it.

"Alice, do you want to elaborate?" Mom asked.

"He BLACKMAILED me! But that is okay…Mom..Dad…why don't you go ask him about the squir…." I started.

But, just as I started, the office door feel to the floor, and Emmet feel on top of it, he looked directly at me.

"How could you tell them about Sqeakers the Squirrel?!?!" He yelled.

I smiled to myself.

At least I wasn't the only one in trouble when mom and dad found out about that stupid squirrel.

The End…or is it?
