2. Cover his piano in puppy dog stickers, and claim that they followed him home from school
AND
3. Scrape said stickers off of his piano, and then super glue them to his Volvo
Edward sat at lunch, a bit perplexed. Her brother had told him he was walking to school, yet he was nowhere to be found.
"Rosalie?" He asked quietly. "Where's Emmett?"
"Hunting," she said with a sigh, not turning away from the mirror she held in her hand. "Apparently there's a bear problem near Tacoma."
"Oh…" Edward said, shrugging. He wanted so badly to believe this perfectly valid excuse, but something told him his brother was up to something… something that wouldn't bode well for him.
Meanwhile, Emmett Cullen was browsing the children's section at Safeway.
"Race cars? No…" He murmured to himself, flipping through sheets of metallic stickers. "Horses? Bleh. Not even a good meal… Barbies? ….maybe. Ooh… perfect."
He grinned and took his purchase to the counter
Edward had a bad feeling when he got home. It was stormy outside and so the house was fairly dark and very quiet. He reached out with his mind, knowing someone had to be nearby.
Twinkle, twinkle little star…
Edward's eyebrows furrowed. That was Emmett…
Out of the silence came the first notes of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" coming from the living room.
"Emmett!" Edward shouted, running now. "Get off of my-"
He stopped short, staring in horror at his piano.
"What… have… you… done?"
His beautiful, beautiful piano was covered from top to bottom in shiny puppy dog stickers. Edward felt his eyes sting. If he could cry, he would.
"Oh, hey Bro!" Emmett said easily, smiling. "Do you like them? I was walking to school and they followed me, so I thought I would take them home, make our house like that old Disney movie 101 Dalmatians!
Edward gaped at him in shock.
"They really like your piano," he continued and then jumped out of the way as his brother lunged.
The tussle that followed was short yet quite destructive. And as Esme watched as Edward straightened up her living room, Emmett was made to scrape the stickers from his brother's piano.
Not that he minded really. It wasn't as if he hadn't planned on doing this all along anyway.
After forced apologies to each other, the boys went their separate ways. Edward went out for a quick hunt to calm his aggravation with his annoying brother. This gave said brother just the opportunity he needed to take the next step in his plan.
With all of the stickers piled in his hands, Emmett grabbed a tube of super glue and slipped outside.
"This will be priceless," he muttered with a chuckle as he quickly glued the stickers to the shining surface of the Volvo. When it was all done, he leaned back on his heels to admire his handiwork, just as he'd done an hour or so earlier when he'd… erm… "decorated" the piano.
Deeming it good and obnoxious, Emmett nodded to himself with a smile and stood. To his good fortune, he heard running nearby; his brother was home.
Deciding it was a good time for a hunt, Emmett ran toward the woods, only barely missing Edward as he ran by not ten feet away from him. Even ten miles away from their property, Emmett could hear his brother's screams of profanity.
TBC…
