Please Read!! Yeupp… By the way, I wrote this for quite a few hours straight, finally ending around 3 am one night, and I was watching funny Lion King vids on Youtube so that's why those are in there. The outfits and stuffs are on my web which is on my pro. Oh! And Bella also likes to shop and can wear heels. Warning, they are a bit OOC, but just because of the Lion King thing, and most of my chapters won't be too much like these… unless you guys like it. FYI I also don't own Twilight. Or the Lion King. Which I'm going to watch soon :D. There, done. Please sit back and relax and enjoy the story.
I slept through the rest of the night soundlessly, embraced in Edward's arms. He made me feel invincible, immortal, and untouchable and I had never felt that way before since my mother died.
When I woke up, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie were playing some kind of game that I really didn't want details to. Edward sat watching them with his arms still around me. I pushed myself up to sit on his lap and watch them. He kissed my forehead lovingly.
"What are you guys playing?" I asked suspiciously, unsure if I wanted the answer.
"Strip Poker!" Rosalie yelled while giggling like a fool.
"Bella, we just started a new game…" Don't make me do it, Alice. "And we were wondering if you would play with us."
I sucked in a deep breath and answered shortly, "No."
"Come on, Bella! It'll be good for your ego!" This girl had issues we needed to look into.
"Okay, let me get this straight: Strip Poker is good for your ego?"
"That's an oxymoron," Emmett pointed out, proving my point.
"Nooo…. You're the moron, Emmett!"
"That's not very nice, pixie virgin." Oh God, that would get her started. Alice didn't like being called a virgin even though she was one. As usual, Emmett was tackled and Edward and I just sat there and watched with the other two.
"Oh! I have an idea!" Alice suddenly exclaimed, sitting on top of Emmett's chest. "Let's play Truth or Dare."
"No. Only because you know I hate picking Truth so then I'd have to pick Dare and of course the dare would be to play Strip Poker with you."
"Wow, Bella, it's like you're a mind reader." I glared at her until she backed off, muttering something about how I never did anything worthwhile.
"I'm hungry," I said, hopping off the bed. I took Edward's hand and led him to their kitchen. Carlisle and Esme were at work, so we had the house to ourselves. Edward walked straight to the pantry that was the size of my bedroom at home almost.
"What do you want for breakfast?" He asked.
I shrugged. "Anything." Walking over to their freezer, I realized how much I wanted hash browns. I took them out and set them on the counter to defrost. Just then, Alice and the rest of the people in Edward's house came down the stairs.
"BELLA!" She was screeching. "YOU… ME… ROSE… BOYS… SHOP… NOW!" Oh, good Lord. Why me? The munchkin bounded into the kitchen and took me by the arms.
"What the bloody hell is all this about?" I asked, trying to sound like Ron Weasley so Alice would start laughing and let go of me.
It worked and Emmett answered, "Alice got a phone call from the 'rents and they told her she and Edward would be in charge of the house for a week or so because Carlisle had a special job thingie in New York he couldn't say no to." I looked at Jasper for another explanation since Alice was still in fits of laugher and Rose was too.
"And don't forget Alice is throwing a party, hence the reason for shopping," he said.
I glared at Edward. "It's official, I hate your sister." He smiled at me. "Why are we having a party?"
"Remember, Bella? The pom tryouts are tomorrow… here!" Alice was the "head" pom and she had been begging me to join the squad ever since she met me. Alice and Rosalie thought dancing and cheering was better than being with bitches like Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory who were on the cheerleading squad, so they formed "poms". The gym teacher, Mrs. Hivon, loved the idea, so she helped out and drove them to competition with me; I was their support and helped pick out the music and costumes. Of course Alice and Rosalie had the final say, but they usually liked my picks. The ones they had now were similar to the cheer uniforms, but shorter skirts, shirts that bared the belly, and were metallic purple, sliver, and black. We also had pom poms and the cheerleaders didn't. For competition, we had to do 4 dances. This was all making me think about joining. The only problem was lifting. It was a mixture of cheer and poms, so technically it was cheerleading to music with guys lifting you up and doing gymnastics stuff.
"So you're throwing a party before the tryouts?"
"After…. But please you have to try out!"
"Alice, I don't think-"
"Shut up. Never mind, you don't have to try out. We promise you'll be co- captain with Rose."
That made me feel better. Now that I didn't have a reason to skip practices because of Charlie- I shuddered- I probably would do it. I sighed and answered: "All right. I guess it wouldn't hurt."
"Yay!" Alice and Rosalie did that body slam thing I thought only guys did which made me giggle.
Edward wrapped his arms around my waist. "All the more reason to love you, Bella," he whispered in my ear. I turned and kissed him.
"Bella? Edward?" I realized I was on the floor, and on top of Edward. He chuckled and lifted me to my feet.
"Shopping. Now." Alice took my arm and started leading me up the stairs to her room. "Okay, so I was thinking matching Hollister sweaters and skirts, Dooney and Bourke purses and some type of heel," she said. Edward's sister was all about the coordinating outfits when we went out together.
"Oh!" Rose suddenly exclaimed. "Those striped sweaters from Hollister and skirt we all bought together last weekend?"
Alice nodded and said, "Bella, take a shower. I'll get the outfit put together for you." I shook my head and laughed, grabbing my bag and walking towards the bathroom. Then I paused, wondering something.
"What are we shopping for?" I asked.
"Party dresses for tonight," Rosalie replied.
"I was thinking Ed Hardy!" Alice screamed. The three of us were obsessed with Ed Hardy anything, so that worked perfectly for me. I turned back to the door and ran into a wall. Well, a human wall.
"Do you really think I'm going to let you go in there alone?" Edward asked, smiling.
"What do you plan on doing in there? Taking a shower with her?" Rose giggled.
"No, we have two showers." I grinned at his answer.
When he handed me a towel over the curtain, I stepped out. His was around his waist, showing off his abs perfectly, and he was also setting up the music player they kept in the bathroom. After he hit play, he walked over to me.
Lolli Lolli came on at full blast, and Edward and I covered our ears as he ran back to turn it down.
"Alice!" He screamed when it was quieter.
"Sorry!" She yelled back. "Good song though…. Gah! Rose, add it to the playlist." Edward and I laughed, shaking our heads.
He kept the song on, wrapping his arms around mine. His mouth moved to my shoulder and he kissed it softly. Taking me by absolute surprise, he started licking the water off of it.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Licking the lollipop," he replied with an evil grin. I sighed and tilted my head back to kiss him on the lips. He responded happily, kissing me with a lust so intense I thought it was impossible.
We dressed quickly and returned back downstairs to where the girls had moved for Emmett and Jasper's help with the party playlist. They mostly had songs like Low, Touch My Body, and Soulja Boy on it, so I decided to go with some that were less… sexy.
"How about Get Back by Demi Lovato or I Love Rock 'N Roll? Not all party songs have to be sleazy like those."
"Bella, Bella, Bella," tisked Rosalie. "How many times must we tell you this is just a dance with food, not a party?"
I didn't ever remember them telling me that so I responded, "About once. Starting with that one." She glared at me, but turned back to the notepad.
"I give up!" Alice exclaimed moments later, exasperated. "I say we go shopping now."
I groaned as they walked out the door. Edward pulled me into his Volvo and turned the radio on. We had fun just like that on the way there. Once at the mall, Jasper brought up the whole "what are we going to wear" topic.
"Ed Hardy, baby," Alice giggled. I seriously didn't want to know what she had in mind.
Alice, Rosalie, and I walked arm in arm around the mall like we were just as important as Paris Hilton- which the other two probably thought was true. We stopped at the Ed Hardy store (God, what a great one, too). The three of us girls found something easily, but the guys thought it was tougher. Jasper didn't really care, and neither did Edward, but Emmett wanted to be all sexy and have this un-tucked white dress shirt while pop, lock, and dropping it with Rose. I shuddered at the mental image the thought gave me.
"God, you guys take way too long," Alice complained once Edward and I finally walked in the store.
"We were looking at the Disney store," Edward explained. I decided to drag him in there to show him what I wanted very badly, and of course I got it. A stuffed Simba from the Lion King. It was pretty pathetic, I know, but I had wanted once since I saw him as a cub when I first watched the movie.
"Psh, whatever." Edward's sister turned her back.
"Hukuna Matata," I said, grinning.
"What the hell?" Jasper asked.
"It's our motto," I replied, barely holding in my laughter.
"What's a motto?" Emmett was literally an idiot. How he ended up with Rose was still a mystery to us….
"Nothing, what's the motto (purposely spelled wrong for quoting purposes) with you?" I lost it. I'd never quoted anything like a Disney movie before. Edward and I were leaning on each other for support, but the others were leaning away from us. As for the store, well they just stared. Again, I couldn't help it. I looked to Edward and said, "It'll solve all you're problems. Take Edward for example. Why, when he was a young hot boy."
Remembering Pumbaa, Edward sang in a loud opera voice, "When I was a young hot boy!" The giggles came out of the two of like we had only this time to laugh for the rest of our lives. After about two minutes, he and I straightened up, dried the tears from our eyes, walked past the others, and started looking professionally at clothing.
We probably spent over an hour in the store before walking out, each loaded with a shopping bag, and whisper- singing and getting louder, "Hakuna matata, hakuna matata, hakuna matata-" Then we all sang really loud, "It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's our problem free philosophy: hakuna matata!" The entire mall looked at us as if we were vampires or something, but it was really fun and hysterical.
A mall guard came over then and said, "Please keep it quiet. You're disturbing the shoppers."
Emmett and I looked at each other, huddled up and decided to go with plan The Hula Song.
"Luau!" I said, but quiet enough so we wouldn't get in trouble again by the guard who was still there. "If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat, eat my buddy Emmett here because he is a treat. Come on down and dine, on this tasty swine. All you have to do is get in line. Are you aching:"
That was Emmett's cue. "Yup, yup, yup."
"For some bacon:"
"Yup, yup, yup."
"He's a big pig:"
"Yup, yup."
"You can be a big pig, too. Oy!" The only part that went wrong was when Emmett ran away like they did in the movie screaming.
"Sorry about our friend," Jasper explained, finding the perfect opportunity to make fun of Emmett. "He's a bit slow."
The guard nodded his head and walked away. When he was gone, Emmett came back and we all fell to the ground laughing.
"Oh dear God, help us," Edward said. When we regained our breath about a day later, or what felt like, Edward started kissing me. I moved my fingers to his and leaned on top of him.
"Problem?" I heard someone say. We pulled away and Emmett was standing there. Edward got this look in his eye that told me something.
"Don't do it," I whispered, knowing what it was. When he didn't respond, I whispered louder and in his ear, "God damn it, Edward, don't do it!"
"Who's the pig?" Edward asked. Ugh. He did it.
Emmett arched his eyebrow, playing along. "Are you talking to me?"
I sighed; they wouldn't let me live it down if I didn't to Timon's part. "Uh oh, he called him a pig."
"Are you talking to me?" Emmett asked again.
"Shouldn't have done that," I said, meaning every bit of it.
"ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?!" Emmett roared, perfectly like Pumbaa.
"Now you're in for it." I looked to Edward who had on a perfect poker face. Damn him.
"They call me…. MISTER PIG! AHHHH!" Emmett screamed and started chasing after Edward, who threw me on his back and ran through the mall. He sat me down in the food court and Emmett sat right across from me. Alice and Rose slid in then but Jasper stood there.
"Aren't we going to get something to eat?" You could tell he was frustrated with his idiotic friends.
Edward looked right to me. "Bella, what do you want?" I shrugged, happy with anything. Pasta, steak, Edward. Whatever.
"Not pizza," Alice said automatically. "We're going to have tons of it at the dance."
"Sushi?" Of course Rose would pick her favorite food in the world.
"As long as it's not pork," I laughed.
The guys came back later and we ate, discussing more songs to play at the dance. As we were dumping out our food, Alice said we needed to go to Prada to get our shoes. I couldn't disagree, Prada was amazing. We walked into the shoe section and our minds were nowhere but there (honestly, I don't know if they have stores in malls. Let's just say they do :D). After a long time, we came to a decision. Alice had light pink platform pumps, Rosalie picked these cool black 5 inch strappy heels, and the two of them showed me how marvelous the almost knee- length black suede boots looked with my dress. We stopped in Dolce & Gabbana to each get a new pair of sunglasses and then we were off back to home.
While the boys and some of the other guys from our school who had arrived early put up the decorations, Alice, Rose and I finished the song list. We ran to show it to them, giddy with its contents.
"That's the best song list I've ever seen," Edward said.
"Yeah, but what's with NSYNC and Britney Spears?" Jasper wondered. We had put Oops I Did It Again, Gimme More, Pop, and Bye Bye Bye on the list, but those were amazing songs!
"Um, hello? Classics." We giggled at the boys' obliviousness.
"Who's the DJ going to be?" Emmett asked.
"Um, Mike Newton's older sister, Sarah," I replied. Mike had been in poms with us since the beginning. He was a boy- pommie, along with Eric, Tyler and a few other boys. Alice had the brains, the looks, and the popularity (what with the Cullens, Hales, and Emmett being the most popular people in the school), but Jessica and Lauren had the… beds. The popular boys who already weren't in a sport joined cheerleading until Alice and Rosalie formed Poms, causing them to switch. Not a single guy was left on the squad, so the cheerleaders had to do simple routines from lack of lifters.
When it was time for the tryouts to start, all the new girls looked petrified. They stood opposite to us more experienced and already made pommies. Alice stepped forward with a big grin on her face.
"All right, girls, I'm Alice and these are Rosalie and Bella. For try outs today, we'll be doing it to Video Girl by the Jonas Brothers." She nodded to Eric who started the music. She, Rose, and I did the dance to it, with the three boys and we also had Emmett help us out. It was only the first thirty seconds of the dance and there were no lifts, it was also pretty simple. We repeated it a few more times, watching the other girls (no boys decided to try out this year) mimic us very well. With the fact there were eight who tried out and we only needed seven to fill the places, we three girls shared a glance before Rose spoke up.
"We've already decided who's going to join the squad," she said sweetly. "You all are." The girls so relieved, I thought they would pass out. They started packing up and Alice had Rosalie help her show the girls the bathroom to change for the dance.
I ran to Edward's arms and he swept me up bridal style. I giggled and he set me on his bed upstairs. He kissed me softly before I got up and chucked him his new clothes, picking up mine from his closet as well. We dressed in a matter of minutes. It was my hair that took the longest. I straightened it to perfection and my makeup was bright green eye shadow, black liner, mascara, and red lips- like Rosalie's and Alice's only Rose had red eye shadow and Alice had orange. The outfit was so rocking; I wanted to wear it all day. Edward and I walked to the basement where the dance was to be held.
Their basement was transformed into a club when we got there: there was a bar with pop instead of alcohol, pizza, and chips; about ten table and chair sets with four seats were off to the side of the dance floor. Everyone looked amazing, even the normally sweaty guys who were on Edward, Emmett, and Jasper's football team- they'd been invited too, along with their girlfriends. My black sparkly nails shimmered in the colored lights. Edward looked down on me, smiling.
I dragged him to Alice, who was just handing Sarah the DJ our playlist. She grinned at me, and then took my hand and led me to the dance floor.
"Hey all Forks High kids," Sarah said over the microphone. "We're going to start out the night with a little contest." Everyone cheered, showing how competitive our school was. "Whoever can pop, lock, and drop the longest to the song will win. The prize? You'll get your name put up for a year on the Hall of Fame at the school." Some guys were going to do it, I could tell, until Sarah continued, "Did I mention it had to be done wearing high heeled shoes?" Only a few boys and girls backed out, but not Emmett, Jasper, Edward, Rose, Alice, or I did. "We have pairs for the guys over by Alice in the corner." Sarah got off the mic and put the first CD in while the boys got their heels.
The competitors lined up on the dance floor while everyone else cleared out of the way. Sarah went over the rules- like no cheating, loopholes, every beat must be filled with the moves until we have a winner, and if you miss a step you are out- and then put the song in. I had confidence I could do it, I used to be a dancer for almost every style. The guys surprisingly knew how to do it, but most went out right away except for the three most important ones. After three minutes, it was down to Alice, Rosalie, and me. They didn't look pained at all, but my legs felt like Jell-O. Another minute came around and we still stood. There were only thirty seconds left when Alice and Rose dropped out. I went the rest of the song until Edward picked me up and kissed me. Everyone congratulated me, but only Edward's made me blush.
"You looked really sexy doing that," he whispered huskily in my ear. A slower song came on, Love In This Club, and Edward placed my feet on his. He danced around with his arms on my waist, saying hi to someone once in a while. When that song was over, Cotton Eye Joe came on. I removed my shoes and ran back to Edward in time for it to start. We did the dance for the entire song; it was very tiring. Luckily, the next songs were slower…. Until Gwen Stefani came along.
"Uh huh, that's my shit." All the girls pushed the boys off the dance floor and we did the dance that went to it.
Low and Cyclone we fun to dance to, Edward and I moved our hips together. For The Way I Are, Sarah judged because we moved the guys to one half of the floor and the girls to the other. It was like a battle of the sexes dance off, and of course we won. But Dancing Queen had to be my favorite dance song out of the entire night, mostly because Rose, Alice and I had so much fun with the moves.
Edward and I sat with Jasper and Emmett while Alice and Rose danced to Pocketful of Sunshine until Gimme More came on. Then they dragged me out and we all did some very slutty and sexy moves. Our boyfriends came out and danced to it with us after a minute.
I was wiped out and ready to pass out when Can You Feel the Love Tonight? was starting to be played. The six of us doubled over in laughter, but ended up dancing to it anyway.
When everyone went home (at about 3 am, I must say), Emmett collapsed on the floor. He rubbed his belly saying, "I ate like a pig."
I giggled. "Emmett, you are a pig."
"Right…. Hey!"
We all laughed at him until Alice caught her breath first and said, "Bella, please don't tell me that was from The Lion King." I didn't answer, just smirked when she sighed.
Edward got up and walked to the music player where Sarah had been not an hour before. "There was a song I wanted to dance to with you," he said, looking at me. Touch My Body came on again. I gave him a confused look, but he brought me to my feet and led me to the center of the dance floor. I understood what he had meant about a minute later. His hands didn't snake around my waist like they had previously, they trailed down my legs and then up my dress a little. I gasped and he brought his body back up and extremely close to mine. His fingers trailed across my chest and down my arms. My lips met his and he kissed me like nothing else I had experienced before. We pulled apart, gasping for air, but his head came down on my stomach and his hands were on my legs again. Things like that happened for the rest of the song. When we looked at the other four, they were biting their lips, probably eager for us. Edward picked me up like a little kid and I wrapped my waist around his torso.
"Man, Edward," Emmett said. "I didn't think you had it in you to do something like that." Edward smirked while Emmett muttered something like, "Ya think ya know a guy and then bam! Ya don't."
I started humming a song from boredom but stopped when Jasper's head jolted up and his fierce eyes met mine.
"Was that When You Were Young?" He asked.
Wow, he's good. "Yeah." We both started singing it and then got really loud when it came to the chorus. He and I stopped simultaneously when we saw the other four staring at us.
"What?" We asked.
"You sounded really good together," Rosalie said.
"OMG! We should start a band," Emmett yelled.
"Did you seriously just say 'OMG'?" Edward laughed.
"Not the point, Eddie. Bella is at the electric guitar, right?" I nodded. "And you and Jazz play up to bass, and of course, you with your beloved piano skills. I'm a pretty talented drummer, and Al and Rosie like to sing. I'm guessing Bella likes to also…." He trailed off with a goofy grin on his face.
"Not a bad idea," Jasper said. I liked and it seemed like Edward, Rosalie, and Alice did, too.
"Look out world, here comes Twilight…. The greatest new band of tomorrow!" I raised an eyebrow, trying to figure out of that made sense. I gave up and put in a fist; everyone else mimicked me and we broke on "Twilight".
Hmm: poms, a band, and some super cool friends. I could get used to this life.
Seriously people, go on to Youtube and type in "Hakuna Matata"… and "The Hula Song Lion King"… and "They Called Me Mr. Pig" to see my humor. They are sooo funny! Now I'm going to go watch The Lion King (skipping past the sad parts) and you will review. Please viewers, I've gotten only 4 reviews and over 50 hits. That doesn't exactly mean I want 50 reviews, but I want more than 4!! They inspire me :D. Give me inspiration and tell me if it was a hit or miss! Please?
Luv ya
Emily
