Chapter Three:
I woke to the smell of eggs and bacon, and the voice of an angel.
"Good morning, love," Edward greeted me softly with a soft kiss on the fore head.
"Good morning! I smell eggs and bacon!" I jumped out of -quite quickly for when I just wake, but this smell of my awaiting breakfast was just too good to wait for- and threw my hair in a pony tail.
"In a rush this morning?" I felt Edward wrap his arms around my waist, and his lips on my neck.
"Hey! None of that, Breakfast awaits!" I wiggled out of his grasp and ran out of the door before he could catch me again, as he chuckled .
As I got in the kitchen I could see a small breakfast buffet made by Esme.
"Good morning dear! Did you sleep well?" She asked putting more French toast on a plate.
"Good morning, yes I did sleep well. This looks amazing Esme," I grabbed a plate and put on a piece of French toast, eggs, bacon, and breakfast potatoes.
"Our little gold fish is finally awake!" I turned around to see Emmett and the rest of the Cullens coming through the doorway.
"I think a better name would be angel fish," I heard Edward take the seat next to me.
"OH OH OH! I got one!" Alice was jumping up and down with her raised in the air. "Bubbles!" I groaned and Rosalie burst out laughing.
"Why in the world would we could her Bubbles?" Jasper asked.
"It's a classic fish name. Why not?" Alice had her hands on her hips.
"She is not an actual fish! She's a mermaid!" Edward trying to fight for my dignity… trying.
"Well a mermaid is part fish!"
I just turned back to my breakfast to finish eating while they continued to argue about my current species and name. When I finished eating Esme took my dishes to wash them. I stood up and walked to my bedroom leaving Alice and Edward going back and forth. It had moved on to weather or not a dolphin is a fish. Emmett scoring each argument point.
I walked over to the dresser and grabbed the least revealing swim suit I could find. It was a black bikini with a bamboo ring in the middle of the top. I put on a pair of white jean shorts then grabbed some orange flip flops and threw my hair in braids. I walked back out to find a smug looking Edward and a mad Alice sitting at the computer.
"Who wants to go swimming?" I asked everyone. The got huge smiles on their faces.
"OOO OOO OOO! PICK ME! PICK ME!" Emmett had run up to me and was shouting in my face waving his hands all over.
"Yes, Emmett you can come," He is so annoying, sometimes. He shot his fists up in the air and screamed.
"WHOO! I'M GOING SWIMMING WITH A MERMAID! TAKE THAT PEOPLES!"
"Emmet, we are all going swimming," Rosalie said and came up to smack him upside the head.
"Oh."
All of the Cullens ran back to change at super speed -even Carlisle and Esme. Not even two minutes later they were all back. And, oh my God Edward had no shirt on. My eyes widened. Just look away Bella, don't stare. I heard him chuckle and I blushed seventeen shades of red.
"Okay, lets go!" Alice yelled and bolted for the beach with Jasper on her tail. We all followed them out.
When I got on the sand I kicked my sandals off and pulled my shorts down. Now it was Edwards turn to stare.
"It's not polite to stare, Eddie," I chastised him with a giggle. If he could blush I bet he would be right now. I turned around a headed for the water but Emmett stopped.
"BELLA! You can't just walk in. You need to make a dramatic entrance!"
"Okay, let me think." Got it!
"Oh! Esme! Get the camera!" Instead of waiting for Esme Alice went in and got it herself. She must have had a vision of what I would do. She came out with a camera and a video camera. "Here Emmett, you film it." She said handing him the video camera. He had a mischievous smile, probably thinking of all the different videos he could make.
"Cool!" He said. Then started the camera. "ACTION!"
I walked over to the big rocks where I found the necklace and climbed on to the rocks to get to one that was in the water.
"Bella, be careful!" I heard Edward yell.
I turned to them and smiled and waved. Then I jumped off the rock and dived in. When I was completely submerged in the water I felt the tingle. By the time I reached the bottom -which was maybe ten feet- I had my fins. Then I swam straight up. I realized something, I have been swimming at vampire speed! This whole thing has taken less than ten seconds. Wow… cool!
When I broke the surface, I shot up at least fifteen feet. I did three front flips and dove back in. when I came up I looked at them with an excited expression. "How was that for a dramatic entrance?" They all had shocked faces. Except Emmett. I think he was about to combust.
"HOLY CRAP! This is so going on YouTube!" Emmett exclaimed. Edward glared at him.
"No it's not," He stated firmly.
"Why not?" Emmet sounded like a five year old whining for a cookie.
"If you filmed us playing baseball, would put it on YouTube?"
"No, of course not. No can know we play like that. Duh! What does that have to do with putting this on the internet?" He replied.
Rose slapped him. "Emmett, when you talk, do you actually hear yourself? Or is it just a buzzing in your head?" She said sarcastically. He stuck his tongue out at her and Rose pinched it.
"So are you guys just going to stand there, or are you coming in?" I yelled at them. Suddenly every vampire was in the ocean. Then I got an idea.
"Hey Emmett, I'll race to the rocks!"
"Your on fishy! Rosie baby, come say "go" for us!"
We stood -well Emmett stood, I floated- about 20 yards away from the rocks. Rosalie stood in between us and our fans behind.
"Ready, set, GO!" I bolted the second she said it. I dove under and swam as fast as my tail could go. In three seconds, I was at the rocks. I had beat Emmett who finished five seconds after me.
"HOLY CRAP!" (A/N: I'm thinking about making this his catch phrase :D) Emmett was in total shock as well as everyone else. "She beat me! How did she beat me."
Edward swam over to me enveloped me in a kiss. I snaked my arms around his neck and knotted my fingers in his hair. The next thing I hear is Emmett's muffled screams. We broke apart and saw Jasper attempting to make out with Emmett.
Alice and Rose were in hysterics and I joined them. Edward and Esme just watched in shock and Carlisle was trying to pull Jasper off.
"DUDE! What the hell was that for!" Emmett screamed while whipping his mouth after Jasper was off.
"Sorry, their lust was just to much to handle and you were the closest thing to me." This just made every one laugh harder.
Emmett was still pissed. He splashed Jasper who attempted to splash back, but Emmett ducked so it hit Alice. This just caused a full on splashing war. There was splashing, screams, and laughs all over the place. A large splash was directed at me, so I put my hands up to somewhat shield my face. The second I did that… it was silent, they all stopped and stared at something right in front of me.
"What?" I said as I put my hands down. Everyone gasped. "What?"
"Bella," Carlisle said, "Alice is going to splash you again. Put your hands back up to block it like you just did and leave them there."
"Oookaaay?" Alice splashed water at me again and I put my hands up. They all gasped.
Leaving my hands up, I looked in front of me. All of the water drops were suspended in mid air. Was I doing that? I must be. "Whoa," I said.
"Now put your hands down," Carlisle instructed. I put them down and the water fell. "Use a finger and try to bring up water. I think I remember this from my book."
I pointed my index finger at the water and slowly raised. Right front of it was a little ball of water. I stared at it. Edward came up next to me and kissed my cheek. Then he touched the little orb floating in the air, it rippled all the way through.
"Wow," was all he said.
"Can you do anything thing else?" Jasper asked.
"Um, I don't know." Then, it just hit me. I don't know how the heck I do know, but I know. "Wait." Keeping the water up, I flattened out my other palm directed at the ball. I froze all the way through. Then I slowly curled in my fingers and made a tight fist. This heated it up to the point of evaporation. I put my hands down and looked at every face. All shock. Then…
"OH MY GOD! THAT IS SO COOL!" (Alice)
"Oh that's incredible dear!" (Esme)
"HOLY CRAP!" (Guess)
"Breath in, breath out. Breath in, Breath out." (Jasper)
"You're amazing, love!" (Edward)
"How did you do that?" (Rosalie)
"Research, I need to do some research." (Carlisle)
All at the same time.
"GUYS!" They all stopped talking and looked at me. "I don't have super vampy hearing. I can't understand you talking all at once," This made everyone laugh.
After that we all went out and played in the water for a few hours. Then Esme got and idea.
"Oh! I want pictures before we leave! Mermaid pictures!"
She dried off and ran over to get the camera.
"Okay, here are some poses I want to try…"
After an hour of pictures we decided it was time to pack. The pictures were a lot of fun! Esme had some creative poses. I dived, sat on rocks, laid in the sand, the famous 'Little Mermaid on rock pose' (Alice's idea), and a bunch of group pictures. One of my favorites was when all the guys hand their arms out and I was laying on side, propping my head up on my elbow. We did a lot of pictures like that.
My favorite was with the sunset. Edward was standing in knee deep water holding me bridal-style with his back to the camera and my tail hanging down. We were right in the middle of the large orange sun so we were a black silhouette. We also had our heads turned towards each other. I'm getting that one framed.
When I was done packing I jumped in the bath. It was weird doing this with a tail, kind of difficult. How am I supposed to shave my legs? Ugh, frustration is overtaking me. Then I realized I couldn't get out with a tail. Awesome.
"Edward? Can you help me get out of the tub?"
There was a huge booming laugh. That was not Edward. That was Emmett. He came over to the side of the tub and squatted down next to me.
"Well, you're sure in a pickle," He said and started laughing. I sprayed him with my new found power. He glared at me and I glared back. It must have been one menacing glare because he kind of cringed.
"Where's Edward?" I demanded with a pout.
"He's bringing suitcases out to the boat. Told me to help you if you needed it."
"I'm gonna have to talk to him about that," I said. Emmett started laughing again.
"Well, do you need help getting out?" He asked with a smirk.
"No. I'm going to try to do this myself. I'm not always going to have a vampire around when I take a bath," I stated sternly. He backed up to the door looking amused and watched me as I hoisted myself onto the ledge.
Step one: complete! Now I need my towel. That was on the towel rack across the room. Darn. "Emmett, hand me my towel, please."
"But you sa-"
"Just give it to me!" I practically yelled. He threw it to me looking a little scared. "Thank you." I somewhat dried myself off, it was hard to do sitting down. Then I dried my hair a little so it wasn't dripping. I scooted over closer to the counter and grabbed my hair dry drier and plug-
"WAIT!" I jumped so high I almost fell back in the tub.
"Holy crow, Emmett!"
"You aren't supposed to use those in the bathtub."
"I'm not in the bathtub… I'm sitting on the bathtub." Ya, that works.
"Oh, proceed." He said with a smile. Probably thinking he was good in charge.
I plugged it in and dried my hair and the rest of my body.
"Okay, Emmett. I've got it under control. You can go." I told him.
"But Edward said to stay with you."
"Emmett, I'd rather you not be here when I change back."
"Why?" The reason made me blush.
"Emmett, what do people usually do before they take a shower slash bath?" I asked like I was talking to a pre-schooler.
"Ooooh. You have no clothes on," I'm pretty sure I was red as a tomato. "Okay I'll leave."
Guess what happened as he said that. Just guess. Ding ding ding! My tail turned back into legs. Oh, shit.
"AHHHH! MY EYES! MY EYES! MY POOR INNOCENT EYES!" Emmett had his hands over his eyes and was running around in circles.
"EMMETT! Your eyes are anything but innocent. NOW GET OUT!" I screamed reaching for my towel.
He tried, but ran into a wall. He still had his eyes covered. Idiot.
"I can't find the door," he said facing the toilet.
"EMMETT MCCARTY CULLEN! GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF THAT BATHROOM!" That would be Edward screaming outside. "ALICE! STOP LAUGHING! IT'S NOT FUNNY!" I giggled at that.
"You can open your eyes Emmett, I have my towel on."
"Kay, bye Ariel!" And with that, he left. Eyes uncovered. "AHHHHHHH! DON'T KILL ME EDWARD! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" I looked out the window only to see Edward chasing down Emmett with a tree and Jasper rolling in the sand laughing. I chuckled as I got my clothes on and brushed my hair.
I put my toiletries in my suitcase and brought it outside to the boat. Edward came over a took it to put in the boat.
"I'm sorry about that, Bella. I should have stayed," Edward apologized. I kissed his cheek.
"It's okay. The after math was funny!" I looked over at Emmett who was in the boat rubbing his head and glaring at broken tree.
"I actually didn't hit him. He somehow wound up breaking it with his head on his own."
"How did he do that?" I asked looking at him with my brows furrowed.
"It's Emmett, Love," he said as he guided me toward the boat. I laughed and sat on his lap. He snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.
"Where's Alice?" I asked Edward, looking around the beach.
"Right here!" Alice came out the door with three suitcases and what I'm guessing to be a large make up case.
As she was hauling her things into the boat I asked her, "Why do you need three suitcases for clothes?"
"It's not all clothes, Bella. One is for shoes," She said making it sound like it was something everyone should know.
"Duh," Rosalie added.
"Ya, Bella, Duh," Emmet said, sounding quite gay. We all burst out laughing.
I curled into Edward further as I fingered my necklace, watching the island disappear into the pink, and purple horizon and the stars take its place.
I had way to much fun writing this chapter! REVIEW!
peace, love, Twilight
katie!
