Hi, it's Edie, hope you enjoy the next chapter! Most of what Nick says in this chapter is based on our actual French tour bus experience (except the bit about the concrete...)

We own nothing, although we are working on it...!

CHAPTER THREE
Edward's point of view.

I put the headphones in my pocket, I really didn't care about the construction of the Seattle Space Needle.
"You're not listening?" Bella asked a little too loudly, she still had headphones in her ears.
"No." I said after freeing one of her ears from the incredibly tedious wrath of Nick.
"You know it all."
I nodded and turned to look at the other bus tour patrons; the rest of my family, four excited Japanese tourists, two Irish girls of about thirteen singing something about witches, a very large man who was fast asleep and an exhausted looking mother with her hyperactive three year old son.
"...And on your left you will see a residential area..." my super hero-esque hearing allowed me to hear (or, forced me to endure) Nick's constant droning, even without headphones. He didn't even make any sense, you could look in any direction and see a residential area!
"...On your left you will see a tree planted by the famous musician..." Nick continued boring everyone into a coma.
Who cares about a tree that was planted by a 'famous' musician?
I turned to Alice, hoping for entertainment. She was staring into space and twiddling the strap of her handbag.
"Alice?" I said quietly, she didn't reply. "Alice?!" I repeated, louder this time.
"Yes?"
"How are you?"
"Emm...fine...why?" she looked at me with an expression varying between confusion and suspicion.
"Just wanted to know..."
"Why?" she had settled on suspicious.
"I'm bored." I admitted a sigh.
"So am I, you don't hear me complaining!"
"Yes I do! I can hear your thoughts, remember?" I enunciated as if talking to a very small child. Or Emmett.
"Oh." she spoke quietly, in embarrassment. I was quite proud; it took a lot to embarrass Alice.
I chuckled and turned back into my seat.
"Bella?" I didn't really want to interrupt her learning about the amazing history of Seattle, but I was just so bored.
"Yeah?" she replied, again, a little to loud. I released an ear.
"How are you?"
"Fine." she wasn't quite as blunt as Alice and just tilted her head and looked at me questioningly.
"Good."
"Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering..."
"Oh."
She turned away and the boredom recommenced.
"...You may think that concrete is just concrete, but you would be mistaken! In sixteen twenty one, Lord and Lady of..."
Nick was now talking about the origins of concrete in the seventeenth century. I didn't know if I could take much more of this; sitting on a bus, two teenage girls singing annoyingly, a toddler screaming, his mother on the verge of tears, Emmett arguing with inanimate objects, Nick droning on and on and on...
"OWWW!!" I heard Emmett roar from behind me, I wonder what that was about...

The next chapter will be up tomorrow or the next day (or the next day, or the day after that...).
