AN: Hey awesome readers!!! I have to finish this chapter before So You Think You Can Dance, so it might be a little rushed. I apologize! I think I might have brain damage. I got up in the middle of the night and ran into my bathroom door (It was supposed to be open, gosh dang it!!!) really hard. It woke my mom up, and she was all like, "KRISTA, YOU WOKE ME UP AGAIN!!! IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL GIVE YOU AN EXAM!!!" You see, when my mom is half awake, she confuses her dreams with reality. I wonder why she was dreaming about exams…. Anyways, on with the chapter!!! And listen to the song "24" by Jem for this chapter even though they have nothing to do with each other. I think it absolutely rocks!
Vera's POV:
As soon as Carlisle announced that they would allow me to stay, I stated jumping around squealing. This was every girl's dream: to live with the Cullens. I ran over and practically tackled Carlisle in my excitement. Of course, he didn't move an inch while I was left with bruises all over half my body. Ouch…but who cares, I touched THE Carlisle Cullen!!! I hopped back, and shivered as a breeze from one of the open widows curled around me. After that, all hell broke loose. Alice screamed at Jasper to stop, and I spun around to find him pouncing on me. He hesitated after hearing Alice's voice and Emmett and Edward grabbed him. They wrestled on the floor for a few minutes, but only stopped when Esme yelled.
"This is no way to treat a guest! If you don't get of the floor in 5 seconds, I will take away your video game privileges!"
That of course got their immediate attention. They all pulled themselves of the ground, and bowed their heads in shame. They looked like little children caught steeling from the cookie jar.
"Now say you're sorry Jasper," She said in a commanding voice.
"SorryVeraIpromisenottodoiteveragain," he mumbled in my direction.
"I didn't hear you…"
"SORRY VERA I PROMISE NOT TO DO IT EVER AGAIN!!!" he said very loud, taking Esme's order to the extremes.
"I forgive you Jasper, it isn't your fault. Me and my fan fiction buddies back home came up with a theory as to why you have so much less control compared to the rest of your family. We came to the conclusion that you are in fact one of the strongest. You see, being and empath, you experience your own thirst, as well as the rest of your families' all at the same time. Yet you still resist! We are amazed that you are able to withstand human blood every day. So, it really isn't your fault,"
The rest of the Cullens looked stunned, and Jasper had the most beautiful expression on his face. It was of peace, happiness, acceptance, and determination. He would no longer be seen as the weak link, but as one of the strongest and most respected vampires in the coven.
Jasper's POV:
When I smelled Vera's sent, I went over the edge. It was even better than Bella's: a mixture of vanilla and apple blossoms. I hated what I was doing, but the need for her blood was too strong. I hated being the weakest link, the one who always disappointed Carlisle. Fortunately my brothers were able to stop me in time, but I felt even worse. I could feel the disappointment and pity flowing from all of them, even Alice. But from Vera, I was getting something else. She was understanding, and fiercely protective. She told my family her theory, and I was blown away. Why had I never thought of that? We all claim to be so intelligent, but we never saw what this one little human did almost instantly. It was then that I accepted Vera into the family. She would be my new little sister; someone to protect always, but at the same time learn knew and amazing things from.
Vera's POV:
Jasper looked so thankful to me. I was really glad that I could give the Cullens something in return for letting me stay with them. I saw Emmett from the corner of my eye sneaking up behind Jasper. He jumped in front of him and shouted BOO! Jasper shrieked like a girl, and jumped almost through the ceiling. What a jerk, he ruined the moment!
"HA I finally got you, the unshakeable Jasper! I can finally cross that of my list of ambitions in life. I wonder what the next one is…" Emmett reached into his back pocket and pulled out a very long list.
"Okay, number 69….Oh yes, eat an entire jar of peanut butter without throwing it back up. Mom, I gotta run to the store, bye!" He disappeared in a blur of movement, leaving the rest of his family with disgusted looks on their faces.
"I'm not kissing him for a week!" Rosalie grumbled before storming out of the room. Why does she have to be so dramatic? And, Emmett! He messed up my sweet, perfect moment. I would get back at him, somehow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later That Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vera's POV:
When I finally got back from the joke shop, Emmett was already home. He was in the middle of forcing a spoonful of the peanut butter from the jar in front of him down his throat. He is so strange sometimes. I wish that Stephenie Meyer put more of the Cullen's antics in the Twilight books; they would sell even better than the already did!!! I walked over to Emmett and sat down on a chair next to him. From behind my back I pulled a can of seemingly normal looking hair jell.
"Oh Emmett, I do believe that your hair is going flat! Do you need some hair jell? I just happen to have some with me; you can have some if you want…" I said in a sweet sing-song voice.
"Really, flat, don't want that. Thanks for offering, you're a life saver,"
He quickly grabbed the "hair jell", and put practically the whole bottle in his brown hair. I knew that I would never be able to do this normally, but he was distracted by the peanut butter slowly forcing its way to his stomach. As soon as he put the jell in his hair, it was exposed to the air. You see, this was a very special hair jell, and when it was exposed to the air, it turned a very bright shade of purple. And it was almost impossible to wash out for almost a week. He would have to go to school with it. That is what he gets for crossing me! Sure enough, all of his hair was know purple. His eyes were yellowish, so they really popped next to his hair. Purple and yellow are opposite colors, and they make each other stand out. He almost looked like an eccentric demon. By then I was rolling on the floor, laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Emmett sent me a confused look before being distracted by the rest of the Cullens, who had come to see what was wrong with me. They soon joined me on the floor. Jasper wasn't helping either. He lost control of all the emotions in the room, and just sent them back to us amplified. Even Emmett was laughing, though he didn't know what for. It took a long time to finally calm down. When I did, I got up and addressed Emmett, all the while fighting back my laughs.
"Emmett, that wasn't really jell. Your hair is purple!" Before I could say anymore, he raced over to the mirror hanging over the fireplace. He saw himself, and then cracked a grin. Wait, that wasn't what I wanted to happen. He was supposed to be upset, not happy!
"Thanks Vera! This is an awesome color; I wish I had thought of it sooner! Look how it brings out my eyes! What do you think Rose!" Rosalie started running her fingers through his hair, and practically purred.
"I think it looks sexy, baby,"
"Know what is sexier?
"What?" I knew where this was heading. How could my plan backfire so dramatically?
"You, baby" They started to make out right there in front of me! They were all over each other. I think someone told them to get a room, but I was too busy chucking in the closest bathroom. This means war…
And so the prank war began. What do you guys think guys? Bad, good, what? It will only take thirty seconds to review, and they make my day! If you have any suggestions for pranks, or want someone to do something, again, review. I will try to fit it in-TTT
