Chapter 2:

Bella's POV:

After Edward and I spent a wonderful night together at our cottage, we reluctantly decided to head back to the main house to resume our game of Uno. I really didn't want to continue playing the game, but Emmett would throw a fit for the next decade if I refused him a few more rounds. Who knows, maybe Edward or I would win again.

I was a bundle of nerves by the time we reached the main house. I was nervous to continue these games. Everyone knew that the longer the game went, the more competitive everyone got. When it came to this family… I shuttered at the thought.

When we ran through the front door of the house, Emmett actually dragged us to the living room, apparently too eager to resume the game to wait two seconds for us to enter on our own accord.

I gave Alice an exasperated look to which she just shrugged, a smile dominate on her face. She was just as eager as Emmett to continue the game. She grabbed the deck and started to pass out cards. I sighed and forced my shield out to cover everyone in the room besides Edward. I gritted my teeth. This had better be a fast game.

Emmett smirked at Edward. "Loser's first?"

Edward growled at his brother, but flipped the first deck card over and put a green draw two ontop of it.

I glared at him. Edward then seemed to notice what he just did. "Are you incompetent without your talent?" I demanded, my patience already stretched to it's limit. Fine, if that's how he wanted to play.

I looked at my seven cards and didn't see anything I could use to get back at him. Alice sat right next to me which meant my card would affect her. I didn't want her as my enemy because it seemed Edward took on that role, so I decided to try to ally with her. I put my green one on top of Edward's card and discreetly showed Alice that I had a green draw two as well. She smiled slightly.

Alice put down a green reverse which meant it was my turn. I laughed lightly as I placed my draw two on the pile.

I looked at Edward calmly. "Now we're even."

Edward grumbled as he put down another green card. I could tell he wasn't happy with me, but he knew he deserved it.

"Who the hell shuffled the cards?" Emmett exclaimed. "It looks like all the greens are on top!"

Emmett was half-right. As the game continued, green seemed to be the most popular color. Edward cursed after we were in the game for a while when I put down a yellow to switch it up a little. Edward had to draw eight cards before he found a yellow.

The game continued until both Alice and Emmett had only one card left. I could tell Emmett was concentrating hard because he was glaring holes at them. I knew he was desperate to win this game. He wanted to have the chance to dare one of his siblings to do something stupid.

But Alice won the game because of Rosalie. It happened to be the color they both needed, but Alice went before Emmett. Emmett swore loudly. I rolled my eyes. He should be grateful to get second place.

The game continued and Edward was the next to get rid of all his cards. I breathed a sigh of relief for that meant I could let go of my shield. Edward placed a kiss on my forehead and wished me luck. Luck tended to avoid me.

I ended up losing the game.

I groaned and threw my cards on the table. I looked at Alice and said hesitantly, "I choose dare."

Alice beamed. "I dare you to let me dress you up for a whole month."

I moaned as I leant back against Edward's chest. That pixie was trying to kill me.

"Fine," I finally said. "When do you want to do it?"

She laughed. The evil little pixie. "Well, I want to dress you up once a day…"

"Alice," Edward quickly spoke up, having felt my breathing escalate. "Once a day is the most you can do."

Alice pouted. "Fine." She turned to me. "Come on." When I hesitated, she reached over and pulled me away from Edward and into the torture chamber. I sighed. Well, there goes my peace of mind.

I let Alice have her Bella Barbie session though my patience was thinning by the minute. I sat there gritting my teeth for an hour while she did my hair and makeup. She curled my brown locks and put pink lipgloss and glittery silver eyeshadow on and painted my nails with silver nailpolish before she left to go get the outfit she wanted.

She returned with a short, dark blue dress and a black stone necklace with gold tone to it. She gave me black pumps to wear and a black fedora hat. I rolled my eyes at that one. I looked in the mirror and had to admit that I didn't look bad, but I wouldn't want to be scene in public for fear that I would cause an accident. The dress showed a little too much for my liking.

"What do you think?" Alice breathed as I stared in the mirror.

I gulped. "It, uh, looks good."

She narrowed her eyes. "Let's get another opinion."

She pulled me down the flight of stairs. For a pixie, she was strong. She quickly had me in the living room. I thanked God or whoever was listening that only Edward was in the room. When he saw me, his eyes widened.

"Edward, what do you think?" Alice asked as she spun me around in a slow circle.

Edward ran to my side and pulled me into his arms. "You look amazing, but you always look beautiful."

I rolled my eyes and Alice snorted. "Yes she always looks beautiful, but how does she look now?"

Edward grinned wickedly. "I'm just going to have to show her." Edward then yanked me into his arms and took off running to the cottage leaving Alice there swearing.

A/N: Hi, readers, I would like to thank you for reading. I also would like to inform you that each chapter will start out as the Cullens playing their game, and then we will progress into either a truth or a dare. I hope you all have a nice, safe night. Happy reading.
