Walmart
A/N: Sorry I didn't get the chance to update again last night, my mom took away my computer…But, to make up for that, I'll put up another chapter later today, promise.
This one is for inuyasha2004. Thanks for the support and for reviewing. Here's the update for you!
Disclaimer: As much as I want to own twilight new moon, and eclipse, I don't. I also don't own Emmett's nickname for Bella, but I saw it in one of My-Bella's stories, and I thought it was cute. So props to her!
Bella POV
"So what are we gonna do, besides watch Alice combust?"
Edwards's eyes suddenly lit up. "I have an idea."
"Okay…and that is?"
Edward turned to Alice. "Ali, do you remember that thing that Emmett sent us? About the stuff to do at Walmart?" (the list of stuff is on my profile, in case you've never heard of it)
"Emmett?" As in, my brother, Emmett? If he was getting ideas from my brother this could not end well…
"Ohhhhhhh Edward you're a genius!" Alice squealed. "And yes Bella, Emmett Swan. Haven't you ever heard of 100 things to do at Walmart?" My eyes widened. No, she couldn't be serious…I had definitely heard of it. In fact, I'd experienced it firsthand.
Flashback
"Emmieeee I'm bored, I don't wanna be here"
"Jeez squirt, you're gonna be a freshman this year, stop acting like you're 5 years old."
"But Em, what are we supposed to do at Walmart? Shop? The stuff here is so lame…"
"You're bored huh? I have an idea."
End Flashback
I shuddered at the thought. It was those words that had gotten us kicked out of the store, and grounded for a month. "No way am I doing this. Do you know how much trouble Emmett and I got into when we tried it? He almost got us arrested! Why don't we just go do something else?"
Edward lips twisted upwards, one side of his smile higher than the other. "Who's the party-pooper now, huh Bella?" I stuck my tongue out at him, and Edward, being the mature young man that he was, stuck his tongue out right back at me. We continued on like that for about a minute when-
"WELL," Alice huffed, "When you two are done comparing tongues, I have something to say." Edward and I grinned, stuck our tongues back where they belonged, and turned towards Alice. "Alright. So we-" she paused to glance at Edward. "Well…I'm not stupid enough to pull the kind of stunts your brother pulls. We're just going to have some good, clean fun. Does that sound good to you Miss Swan?"
I looked at Edward, who still had that stupid grin plastered on his face. He nodded his head in approval. "Ugh, fine, let's go and get this over with."
"Yaaaaaay!" Alice squealed, her "I'm so high and mighty" speech going out the window, along with the rest of her maturity. "Hmmm, where shall we start?" She turned to us. "Any ideas?"
I looked around and spotted something perfect to my right. "I got one!"
"Ooooooh okay, tell us!" She bobbed up and down excitedly, glancing up and down for what I might have seen."
"Hold on Alice, before we start, why don't we make this a little interesting?"
"What are you proposing?" Edward's eyes lit up once again; there was nothing he loved more than a good bet.
"How about we each get assigned a task, something to do from the list. Whoever gets caught, or doesn't finish within a certain amount of time, well, we'll decide what they have to do once we get there. And the winners…get to choose their seat on the plane! You guys in?"
"Yea!" If it was even possible, Edwards smile got even bigger.
"For sure!" Alice was jumping in her skin. "Who's first? Here, Bella, why don't you pick? You already said you have an idea anyway?"
"Okay." I looked at the both of them, trying to decide who to pick. There was Alice, who was looking at me with her irresistible puppy eyes, and then, there was Edward. He was radiating smugness from every pore, his face screaming "Bring it on." I'd put him in his place. "I pick Edward." He smirked, and Alice's eyes dropped down, feeling slightly dejected.
"Okay, what do I have to do?"
"You see that guy with the red hair?" I pointed to a man in aisle three. He looked about 35, with long red hair in a ponytail, a thick, bristly mustache, and biker clothes. Not to mention, he was quite large. Tall, and seriously muscled.
He sighed, sounding bored. "Fine, what about him?"
Alice perked up instantly when she saw who I had chosen as a target. "Ooooooh are you going to make him"-
"Alice! I think I got this. Why don't you-"
"Please can I help? I have a really good idea!"
"Fine Alice, what do you have in mind?"
She turned to Edward instantly. "Go look through the aisles. Find one item that is lace, one 'feminine product' of your choice, and a giant tub of ice cream, and place it all in that man's cart."
"Is that from the list ?"
"Who cares?!" She was a genius! I high-fived her, and looked at Edward.
"Let's see Edward, how much time should you get for this? Alice, what do you think?"
"Hmmm," she put her index finger to her chin. "Six Minutes?"
"Sounds good to me! Ready Edward?"
"Well, but," he stammered, "why do I-"
"GO!"
"You can't be serious?"
"5:58, 5:57, 5:56"
"Bellaaaaa," he whined
"5:52…" We watched as he ran off towards the back of the store towards the few items of clothing that they had, and burst into laughter.
"How is he supposed to find anything lace in a Walgreens?"
"Does it matter?" Alice breathed out. "This is priceless! Keep counting Bella."
I watched Edward grab tampons off of a shelf and head towards the large man with the mustache. He stopped briefly, and turned towards me with a pleading glance. I sighed at his stupidity, and motioned for him to come to me. Relief flashed across his face as he jogged over to where I stood. "Thank you Bell-"
"Where are the other things?"
"What?"
"The lace and the ice cream?"
His face fell, and he ran back into the aisles, coming back 3 minutes later. In his hands was the box of tampons, 3 different lace headbands, and a giant tub of mint-chocolate chip ice cream. I grabbed an issue of "Cosmopolitan" from the rack next to me and handed it to him, for good measure. "Two minutes, Edward."
He ran to where the man was standing, and looked at the soup on the shelf in front of him, trying to decide how to do what he was about to do. Luckily, at that moment, the man decided he needed jelly, which was on the other end of the aisle. Edward took his chance; he dropped the items in the bottom of the cart and bolted back to us.
"A minute to spare Edward, I didn't think you had it in you." Edward glared at his sister, his breathing heavy.
"You're going next Alice."
"Okay," she chirped. "What should I do?"
"Actually you guys," I interrupted, "I really want to see what the guy does when he finds out what's in his cart."
"Kay, but we can't follow him; he might be suspicious of Edward."
"You're probably right," I said, ignoring Edward's pouting. "Let's go wait by the cashier then, maybe he won't notice the stuff in his cart 'till he checks out." Alice linked her arm in mine and steered me towards the cash register, with Edward sulking behind us.
Review if you can! Here's your preview for Chapter Five:
"I rolled us to the side of the hall, putting almost all my weight on top of her."
It'll be up in a few hours, if more people review, though, I'll probably put it up sooner, just because you guys make me feel awesome with what you write! Constructive criticism is totally welcome too!
