AUTHOR'S NOTE : Okay ... I'm sorry about the delay in updating. I was just waiting for the right time to start writing. And I have exams this week so I guess I may have more time to update. I realize that this is a really late update, but I was out of town for a whole week in December and I've been trying to catch up in my biology class. It's pretty sad that I'm this stressed out when I'm in my first year of High School. Well I bet you want to get to the next chapter so ...

ENJOY .... READ .... REVIEW!!!!

Jasper POV

I opened my eyes when I heard the wheels of the plane hit the runway with a slight bump. "We're here already?" I frowned and looked over towards my brothers. Edward had his composition book out on his lap. He was probably writing a new song for Bella. I chuckled and shook my head as my eyes went to Emmett.

There in the seat diagonal to me, was Emmett and his batman backpack. I swear ... He's so damn obsessed with Batman. There he was swinging his backpack around singing the Batman theme song as the plane turned the corner.

"Da na na na na na .... BATMAN!!"

I slapped myself on the forehead as Edward threw an empty cup at his head. "Shut up."

The poor flight attendant who had to put up with Emmett's antics finally walked down towards us and smiled a 'Thank God It's Over' smile. "Thank you for flying with us. Please come back again ..." As she walked back down the aisle towards the door, I swore I heard her mumbling about being on a different plane next time.

The plane slid to a complete stop and the seat belt sign was turned off. I immediately stood up and made my way towards the door, Emmett followed behind trying to imitate the voice that guy in the Dark Knight used.

I wish he would stop. It seriously sounded like he had jammed a frog down his throat.

"Did Alice rent us the car?" Edward asked eagerly after we picked up our luggage from that slow machine. I nodded and smiled. "Yes, she did. She got us the Corvette ZR1 with tinted windows."

I heard a maniacal chuckle from him as I said so. "Thank you, Alice." he said aloud and walked up to the receptionist at the rental. "I'm here to pick up a car reserved by Alice Cullen for Edward Cullen?"

The overly scrawny human working at the desk at the moment wrinkled his nose at Edward. I looked over at my shoulder at Emmett who was eying the pirate poster that rotated on the carousel.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE DRIVING IT?!"

I swiveled my head around as I saw Edward slam his fist down on the counter. Apparently, he really wanted to drive the Corvette. I chuckled and shook my head as I approached them. "Is there a problem?" I asked the attendent staring him directly in the eyes.

"No, sir. But I was just telling this kid that he's a bit young to be driving this car." he said putting his hands up in defense, one hand holding the jingling keys. Oh boy ... This wouldn't go very well at this rate.

"Oh really?" I raised my eyebrow and motioned for Emmett to come over.

Emmett POV

"I AM THE KNIGHT!!"

I laughed loudly as I took a few large steps between my brothers. "What is it, Jaz?" I smiled eying the car keys with full intent on driving it first. Jasper glared at me and I just grinned at him in return.

"Aparently our Edward here looks to young to be driving the Corvette Alice rented for us." he explained quickly. I nodded and jumped over the counter top ignoring the fact that Edward was ready to pounce on the guy for the keys even if it meant no Bella for a couple months. I slung my arm around his shoulder and looked down at him. The poor human probably almost a whole two feet shorter than me so I had to slouch to reach his level.

"Do I look too young?" I questioned smiling, showing my teeth. I watched as the guy shook with terror and I smelled something weird in the air. It wasn't blood or anything but it was pretty disgusting.

I looked over towards Jasper and Edward.

Jasper had a hand over his mouth and nose shaking as he stifled his laughter. Edward was leaning against the counter glaring at the keys trying to avoid the obvious fact that was at hand.

I looked the human up and down and I let him go, grabbing for the keys. The poor guy now sat on the floor with a big dark spot on his slacks and an odor was filling the air around him. "He fucking pissed himself!!" I cried out slamming my fist down on the counter repeatedly.

"Woah. Cool it, Emmett." Jasper grabbed my arm and I looked at him and then towards the counter. It was crushed and broken into several pieces. I shook my head and walked around it and tossed the keys up in the air. "Well let's get going before Edward over there rips the guy's head off." I laughed and grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards the cars parked out in front of the doors.

We walked over towards the car and I clicked the button to turn off the alarm.

"Load up the car." Edward sighed tossing his bag at me.

I frowned. "Why do I have to?"

"Because I'm older."

I rolled my eyes. "Eddie .... You're not older than me as our current human identities."

Edward growled and me and snatched the keys away. "I'm driving." He glared and slid into the driver's seat before I could even blink. "Damn it." I cursed and shoved the suitcases into the small trunk with a slight shove of a hand.

I walked over towards the still open door of the driver's seat and jerked him out of the seat with a swift movement. "I'm driving this car, Eddie." I growled at him as he growled back and moved around the car.

"What hotel are we staying at?" Jasper asked as Edward slid into the passenger seat.

My face glowed with pride as I declared the one hotel I wanted to stay at. "Treasure Island!"

I noted that Edward twitched slightly at the mention of the very hotel that hosted the show he dreaded so much. "No ... We're staying at the Mirage." he stated clearly as I drove out of the McCarren Airport area and down the highway towards the strip.

I looked in the rearview mirror to see Jasper eying a poster on one of the billboards. I couldn't tell what it said besides Caesar's Palace.

"Why the Palms?" I growled. "It's so far off from the strip."

"Exactly. Less traffic."

I sneered. "Well I still say Treasure Island."

"Rio."

"Treasure Island."

"New York New York."

"TI."

"Changing the name won't do anything."

I huffed and glared at the fast moving casinos as I swerved through the traffic like a madman high off of crack. I hooted loudly as I narrowly avoided the coca-cola eighteen wheeler.

Jasper sighed as we ran the red light. "Didn't Rosalie tell you not to get any tickets?" he sighed.

"What Rose doesn't know won't hurt her." I commented as I drove even faster.

"We still have the issue of the hotel." Edward mumbled as we skidded across the sidewalk slightly, nearly hitting an old man with a walker.

I snickered as the old man screeched at us.

"YOU LOUSEY HOODLEMS!! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE CARS!"

Jasper chuckled from the backseat as we drove. "Make a choice now." I warned increasing the speed as the Palms casino was within a mile of us.

"Caesar's Palace." Jasper said pointing at the right turn about three feet ahead.

"That's better than nothing." I chuckled and jerked the wheel around making the car do a dounut shape, then sped past a large hummer with wheels taller than me.

I sped into the valet parking spot before the yellow GTO could. My mind raced with excitement as I looked around. We were finally in Vegas ... no girls, parents, school, and best of all ... THERE WAS BATMAN!!

"There are no batman hotels here ..."

I glanced over towards the passenger seat to find Edwards sitting there, his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. A hand was placed over his undead heart and his hair was a mess as if he had been electrocuted.

"What's wrong with you?"

Edward POV

What's wrong with me?

I narrowed my eyes at him, turning to face him as the seat belt snapped from it's clasp. He nearly hit an eighteen wheeler and a human. Then he ran several lights, and nearly killed ... well if we were alive ... us. And he dares to ask what's wrong with me?!

I pinched the bridge of my nose even harder as I opened my mouth to reply.

"What's wrong?" he asked again.

"Emmett ... You nearly rammed us into several cars and a coke truck, and you're asking me what's wrong?!"

Emmett frowned as he looked at me. What's pissing him off?

I laughed evilly as I reached over and grabbed him by his batman backpack. "You want to know what's pissing me off?! I'll show you wh-"

Frowning, I settled back into my seat. I felt a sudden rush of calmness flow through me. "Jasper ..."

Jasper leaned in between us and sighed. "Can we not fight until later?" he opened the car door quickly grabbing the three suitcases.

I nodded and popped open my door, and Emmett did the same, still confused on why I was so mad earlier. I rolled my eyes. He was such an idiot sometimes ... Wait ... make it ninety five percent of the time.

We walked into the lobby quickly walking pass the group of people with cameras and brochures. Typical tourist I laughed as we walked over towards the counter.

"Welcome to the Caesar's Palace." she greeted enthusiastically. "I see you're here to check in."

"Yes we are." Emmett boomed, grinning from ear to ear.

What a cutie ... I grimaced as horrid pictures of her and Emmett in the local hot tub filled my mind. It wasn't something I wanted to see. I shook it out of my head as I stepped in front of Emmett.

"What rooms do you have available?"

She looked down at screen of the computer, a hint of pink spread across her cheeks as new images filled her mind. Ones of me and Emmett .... GROSS! "There's a good room available for you guys."

"We'll take it!" Emmett grinned not even bothering to ask which room it was.

The lady huffed unexpectantly as she glanced at him with goo goo eyes. "Here you go sir. "she said handing him the cards. I grabbed the handle of my suitcase as we walked away from the desk towards the elevators.

"Good luck with your honeymoon!" she called as Emmett slammed his thumb into the up button. I swirled my head around to bark at her. "I'M NOT MARRIED TO HIM!!" I shouted and growled turning my attention towards the opening elevator.

I heard Jasper chuckle behind us as we walked into the elevator and the it slid shut and began moving up. "Emmett." I growled.

"What?" he said trying to look like an innocent puppy.

"You should have asked what the room was before you took it." I snapped and walked out immeadiately when the elevator door was only an inch open.

"Sorry, Eddie, but it's not like we'll be sleeping anyways ..." he mumbled sliding the card into the lock when he got of the elevator. The door popped open quickly after a quick shove and we bounded into the room.

"It's ..."

"PINK ..." Jasper finished for me as we looked around.

The bed was pink and shaped like a deformed heart. The plasma screen was pink and everything else was pink. Even the windows were tinted pink.

"Emmett ..." I growled through clenched teeth.

"Yes?"

"You're dead ...."

In within a second, I was in the air ready to tackle him.

"EDWARD! NO!!!!"

I'm sorry for the long delay but it's finally out though. I have a definite idea for the next chapter. Be prepared as the boys go to their first Vegas show at the Colosseum and guess who sparks trouble for the boys at this event. JASPER!! Who would expect him to spark any trouble for the guys as they go and see Celine Dion's final concert at the Caesar's Palace. Hopefully it won't take too long for the next chapter. I promise the next chapter will be funny.
