A/n: yes! I finished chapter two! And thanks to cryptic-yet-simple for the suggestion to write some of it in Emmet's POV! Hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. Though I do own the laundry shaft!

Chapter two:

Up the Laundry Shaft and Out the Window

(EmPOV)

"For God's sake Edward! By all means, make more noise! I'm sure Alice, Rosalie, and Bella have yet to hear your racket as you haul your huge ass up here! I swear if you keep this up you'll get us both evicted!"

Edward shot me a menacing look before he continued his struggle up the laundry shoot to the second floor.

"Shut up Emmet! And honestly, couldn't you have found a better way than this? I can barely fit and I'm sure that I have a pair of Jasper's boxers shoved down my pants by now." Edward seethed as he unsuccessfully continued to squeeze his body up the narrow shaft.

Before I could reply with my own sarcastic retort, I heard footsteps downstairs heading towards the laundry room.

"Shhhh! Edward, stay low! We've got company!"

Edward stared back at me with disbelieving, murderous eyes.

"Stay low? Stay low!?! You've got to be fricking kidding me!"

Ignoring my brother, I got down on the floor on all fours and put my ear to the floor boards. I heard a soft humming voice that distinctly belonged to Alice. Wait a moment. It was Friday afternoon; that meant…

"Oh shit." I muttered under my breath.

"What do you mean 'Oh shit!'"

Edward's question was answered by an unearthly scream ringing up the narrow shaft and through the floorboards.

"Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, get your filthy ass out of the laundry shoot! NOW!" Alice cried from below them.

I gulped involuntarily and I stared down at Edward who was currently trying to free himself from his current wedge.

"I can't! I'm stuck!" Edward growled.

Both Edward and my faces visibly paled as we heard Alice chuckle wickedly.

"Let me help you with that." Alice purred.

I watched helplessly as Edward let out a yelp and was suddenly thrust downwards and out of sight.

"Oh crap!" I cursed.

Hoping that I still had time to escape with my life, I spun around and tiptoed towards the door. I was almost there when the door suddenly flung open and the next thing I new, I was flying thru the air, broken shards of glass all around me.

I landed on the muddy ground with a resounding smack, mud seeping thru my clothes. Once I reopened my eyes, I looked up just in time to see Alice pop her head out the window and stick her tongue out at me as I laid there, sprawled out in the mud and rain. I sat up slowly and looked in all directions, searching for Edward.

When I found him, he was leaning against a tree that seemed to have an Edward shaped impression half way up its trunk. Edward stared at me, shooting daggers with his eyes.

I raised my hands in front of me. "Now remember Edward, I was only trying to save you." I reasoned.

Edward looked back and forth between the shattered third story window and the scattered shards of glass that littered the ground all around me.

"Good job."

(BPOV)

Hearing the entire racket from downstairs, I raced up to the third floor to find out what had happened. Once I reached the room where I assumed the noise had originated from, I saw Alice holding her head thru a shattered window and sticking her tongue out at what I could only assume was who she had hurled out the window in the first place.

"What the hell happened here!?" I asked.

Alice finished her taunting and turned back inside to face me.

"The first attempt has been launched, and now Emmet is officially locked out as well." She replied in a chipper tone. "Do you know what this means?" she asked.

I scrunched my nose and shook my head.

Alice giggled and linked her arm with mine as she led me, skipping down the stairs.

"Not only have we earned our first victory, we now have the right to retaliate!"

As though on queue, Rosalie appeared next to me and took my other arm in hers.

"This is when the fun begins!" Rosalie said with obvious pleasure.

And with that, grinned wickedly and pulled me with them to start plotting, and I must admit, I was uncharacteristically excited!

A/n: So, what do you think!?!? And please review! If I don't get a good number of reviews for this chapter then I may take longer to update! DUN, DUN, DUN!!!! (I'm kidding, I'm not that mean. But do review!)
