Emmett's Practical Joke

Emmett's POV: I've been waiting for this day for about a week Carlisle and Esme decided to go hunting together, leaving us alone. I managed to convince Edward to not tell anyone about my plan. Alice was a lot easier. I just had to buy her those shoes she wanted, and she promised she wouldn't tell anyone.

"Jacob's coming over in about an hour and Charlie's coming in twenty minutes." Bella told us after hanging up the phone. She was the hardest one to convince that the practical joke would be fun. I didn't expect her to like the idea of playing a practical joke on Charlie, so I told her that we wouldn't scare him that much. She told me she didn't want to be a part of it and she would step in if she had to. I decided that was a good enough compromise.

I heard the cruiser pull into the driveway. Bella took Nessie upstairs, obviously not wanting to see us scare Charlie. Jasper went with her, as we had planned before.

I waited for Charlie to ring the doorbell. He knew that we could hear really well, but we still tried to act human so he wouldn't get scared. Everything had to seem normal at first so that he would be really scared later.

"Emmett," Rosie hissed at vampire speed, "Wipe that evil grin off you face. He's gonna notice."

I followed her instructions and went to get the door. "Hey, Charlie." I greeted him.

"Hello Emmett." He responded.

"Bella and Renesmee will be down in a minute." I informed him. He nodded his head and was about to go sit down when Jasper showed up.

Jasper ran down the stairs faster than any human could, but still slow enough that Charlie could see him. Charlie instantly took a few steps back, surprised by his speed.

"It's working!" I said at vampire speed without showing any excitement on my face because Charlie would notice.

Jasper snarled and looked at Charlie hungrily. Charlie looked like he finally realized that he was craving his blood. I would've grinned because my plan was working so well, but I knew I couldn't because Charlie would notice. He started to back away slowly, as if Jasper was an angry bear instead of a vampire. Then he turned around and ran, but Jasper was quicker.

He ran at vampire speed until he was standing in front of Charlie, blocking the door. Then he started to lunge at him. Edward and I ran to him and pretended that we were struggling to keep him from killing Charlie. Alice and Rose rushed over and pretended they were helping us. Charlie face was way paler than usual, almost as pale as we are. His heart was beating way faster than it should be, and he was probably thinking something along the lines of "I don't want to die, I don't' want to die…"

"When I get to three you guys can laugh." I told them, knowing that if we scared Charlie any more Bella would be furious. We held on to Jasper and pretended we weren't capable of restraining him. "One," I whispered. Jasper's snarls were just as loud, but the rest of us loosened our grip on him. "Two," I said. I knew Bella would come down soon because we were almost done with our little joke. "Three!" I finished, a bit louder this time, but I'm sure Charlie didn't hear it because he was still too scared.

We instantly let go of Jasper. Alice fell to the floor, laughing her head off. Rose collapsed next to her, unable to control her laughter. Edward didn't fall to the floor, but he started laughing with his head leaned against the door. Jasper was laughing the hardest because he had to feel all of our emotions. He looked like he was trying to calm us down for a few seconds, but he realized that it was impossible. I was laughing almost as hard as he was, but I was also glad that my plan had actually worked. Alice had told me that it would work, but the future could always change and I was glad that it didn't.

Bella walked down the stairs with Renesmee in her arms. She walked straight to Charlie, who was very confused. "I'm sorry," she started, "the whole thing was a practical joke. Jasper's not going to kill you. I tried to stop them but I couldn't."

It took a few seconds until Charlie understood what had happened. At first he looked angry, but then his face went back to normal.

"So I'm not going to die?" He asked after a minute.

I nodded and smiled, "I'm sorry."

"Just be happy I told him not to scare you too much. I could've been way worse." Bella told him. It was true; I had so much more planned. It included fake bats falling from the ceiling and talking garlic chasing him around the house.

"Well, thanks Bells," he said, gratefully.

"Anytime," she replied.

"What do we do now?" I asked, earning a laugh from them.

"Let's go shopping!" Alice said, excitedly. "Come on Bella!"

"HELP!" Bella yelled, desperately. She gave Renesmee to Charlie before Alice and Rose dragged her out of the house. I rolled my eyes at their shopping addiction.

"Let's play video games." Jasper suggested. Edward and I quickly agreed and Charlie kept playing with Renesmee.

(2 weeks later)

Edward's POV: Emmett and I were sitting on the couch, trying to find something good on TV, but it was almost impossible. Jacob was playing with Renesmee upstairs, and Rosalie was tweaking her car to make it faster. Everyone else was hunting.

I noticed that Emmett had stopped flipping through the channels, and looked up, wondering what he was watching. I saw a wolf chasing after a bunch of rubber mice that were being pulled by strings.

Hey what if that was Jacob? Emmett suddenly thought, and started planning his practical joke.

"No way, Emmett." I said, knowing that another practical joke was probably not his best idea.

He sighed and went back to flipping channels.

A/N: Thank for reading.

A special thanks to my friends AliceOwnsMyCloset, Kayla, and Shirley for reviewing. You guys are awesome.

(Evil laugh) I got 1 of my friends addicted to fanfic, 2 of them to make fanfic accounts, and 2 others to read fanfic. I feel powerful.

I decided that I'm closing my poll on March 6th (if I remember). Please vote because I can't decide what story to write first. So far Little Bella has 1 vote and Little Edward, Little Alice, Little Jasper, Little Emmett, and Little Rosalie have 0 votes. I might start writing Little Bella before March 6th, but if another story wins then I'll ditch Little Bella for a while. SO VOTE!

Thanks for reviewing. Pretty please review.
