-1AN: I do not own these characters, Stephenie Meyer does. Alright, again thanks for all of the reviews (I'm up to forty!) they are completely wonderful! Remember everyone, to vote in the poll, who you want to win the "no sex" bet. Also, this chapter is dedicated to Dee/Rosalie, who dutifully reads and reviews these chapters like it's her job, and stands by her man Emmett -Even when he's being… Emmett. Rosie Posie, I hope you absolutely adore this chapter, because I'm definitely going to be changing your title afterwards.

Bella's POV

"Bella! I said wake up!"

I squinted my eyes, so that they were barely open. All I could see was Alice's face, not three inches away from my own. She was staring at me expectantly, and from what I could tell she looked like she had been sitting there for awhile.

"Alice… what do you want?" I asked groggily. I turned my face away from her quickly, remembering that I had forgotten to brush my teeth the night before.

Immediately, she took a step back and held up a khaki jacket, "I bought this for you last night. So you need to get up, shower, and put it on." Groaning, I pulled the blanket, that I assumed she had draped over me after I had fallen asleep, over my head. Like the little devil she was, she ripped the blanket right off of me.

"Alice!" I lifted my head and saw Rosalie peeking out from under the blanket Alice had thrown on top of her.

"Come on Bella, look, it's raining out, you'll need a jacket."

"Why will I need a jacket?" I asked finally sitting up. I was astonished, and a little bit disturbed to find myself wearing pajamas, knowing full well that I had fallen asleep wearing the clothes I had worn yesterday.

"Because, silly, Edward reminded Esme that you are supposed to work down at Newton's this morning. So, she gave him permission to drive you down there so you can tell the little pecker-head that you can't work today," Alice said grinning. Ugh. I had completely forgotten that I had to work this afternoon, but I had never been late before, and I had only taken my birthday off, so maybe I would get lucky and she would let me off the hook. "You better hurry up, you have to be there in thirty minutes."

I jumped off of Alice's couch faster than I had ever seen myself move and ran towards their restroom. Everything was sparkling white, I was almost afraid to touch it. After the quickest shower known to mankind, I reached out for the towel that I had seen placed on the rack. When it was carefully wrapped around my body, and I was sure it wouldn't come loose, I moves the shower curtain aside, and found a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a pile of clothes neatly stacked up on the counter.

A pair of designer jeans. Of course. It's Alice. A tee shirt that stated "I love mythological creatures." I bet she got a laugh out of that one. A hooded sweatshirt with another little witty saying on it, "I partied in Volterra" When did she get that A bra and underwear… Wait. No. There were no underwear. Crap.

Walking to the door, I opened it and yelled "Alice you forgot to give me underwear!" That's when I noticed who was standing outside the door. It wasn't Alice. Think: Taller. Bulkier. Louder and Male genitals. That's right. I just yelled that I had no underwear, while naked under a towel to none other than the most perverted person I had ever met.

A big grin crept across his face as I dreaded even wondering what was going through his head.

"That's not a problem, I'm not wearing any either!" Emmett said reaching his hand into his pocket. I saw him pull something blue from it, "If you're that worried though, you can wear this!" He was dangling the blue thong that I had seen him prancing around in the day before, in front of my face. My picture was staring back at me.

"Emmett! Get away from her with that!" Alice yelled running down the hallway chasing after him. She threw underwear my way before running down the stairs after him. Needless to say, it didn't take me long to get dressed. I walked slowly down the stairs, and found the whole family waiting in the living room.

"Now Edward, you take her there and bring her straight back. No pit stops. No mini vacations. No pretend car troubles…" Esme said warningly.

"I know. To Newton's and back." I could tell Edward was already annoyed by the tone in his voice.

"Alice, where did you find this at?" I asked, trying to break the tension in the room, by pointing at the sweatshirt. All of their eyes turned to look at me. I could see them reading what it said.

"I found it at one of the stands, before I found you and Edward! Isn't it adorable?"

"Wait -I could have possibly been dead and you were using it as a chance to by souvenirs?" Edward asked, his voice unbelieving.

"Well, after Bella came running at you, I knew you were going to live, I saw it!"

"Let's go Bella," Edward said, standing, and heading for the door. Alice helped me get the jacket on before we went outside. I saw the Volvo was already running, and parked near the door, for a shorter run in the rain. I tried getting to the passenger door as quickly as possible, but slipped on the wet gravel and felt myself falling backwards. Before my brains were splattered across the Cullen's driveway, I felt two hands catch me swiftly from behind. I was staring up into Edward's face.

"Nice catch?" I said, trying to smile innocently. Edward simply helped me up and finished walking me over to the door, which he held open for me. He was at my side in a matter of seconds, and we were headed down the driveway.

"What do you think about breakfast after we talk to Newton?" Edward asked me, apparently trying to be nonchalant about the question.

"You heard what Esme said, Edward, no stops."

"Bella, you are going to have to understand, that sooner or later, you will have to get used to disobeying them every once in awhile. I mean, we disobey your father all the time." At this point, I noticed a sly grin appearing on his face. "I mean if you don't want me coming over at night anymore, I understand, we wouldn't want to go against your father."

"Edward!" I yelled, instinctively slapping his arm. I smacked a bit too hard, though, because when I pulled my hand back, it was stinging. "Damn it."

"Bella, you know I wouldn't stop coming over, no reason to beat yourself up over it," Edward said shaking his head. "Well, you better hurry up and get in there then if you plan on making it back within Esme's time limit." I looked out the window and was surprised to see we were already outside of Newton's.

I stepped out of the car quickly, and was walking towards the door when I heard Edward's automatic window rolling down, "This should be easy. He's in there thinking of a way to tell you they don't need you, except to help him take down the display tents."

Amazing… I thought opening the door. Mike turned to greet, what he thought was a customer, with his usual hand wave, but when he saw it was me his face lit up.

"Hey Bella! I was wondering when you would get here. I tried calling your dad, but he said you spent the night with Alice Cullen." His face told me that he didn't believe that I actually stayed with Alice. Nobody knew that this time, it was the truth.

"Yeah, and I was wondering if I could go early, Esme wants me over there so I can help Alice plan her wedding, that's why I stayed there last night." I was trying to get on his good side -and anyway, it was sort of the truth.

"Oh… So Jasper finally popped the question? That's cool. Kind of young though, I mean… She isn't -er… pregnant, is she?"

"Oh god no!" I said, a bit louder that I had meant to.

"Ah, well, yeah actually I was going to ask if you minded going home early. We're a bit dead in here, I just need help taking down the tents. Do you mind?"

"Not at all." I said, following him over to the four tents we had set up a few weeks ago. It only took a matter of minutes to get the first two down. The second one seemed to be giving us a bit of trouble.

"I think it's tied down inside, let me check." I watched as Mike walked into the tent, then checked my watch. I had already been here twenty minutes. Esme was probably ready to send Alice soon.

"Hey Bella!" I heard Mike say, as he walked out with something in his hands, "Look at this!"

At that moment, I watched as Mike held up what had been rolled a few seconds ago. They were a pair of boxers. Not just any set of boxers mind you. No, these boxers had a picture of a grizzly bear on the front of them. There is no way in Hell that he would even think about it…

"Someone wrote their initials on them. 'E.C.' Who writes their initials on their underwear in permanent marker?" Mike asked dropping them on the ground. Unfortunately, I knew exactly who would wear grizzly bear boxers and write their initials in them.

"Bella, there is something else." What else could there be? I asked myself, almost too frightened to wait around and find out what Mike was about to show me. I waited, and when Mike didn't come back out, I followed him into the tent.

"Come on Mike I don't have time for this!" Once inside I found Mike standing there with a grin on his face holding up a bright red lacey bra. I had an idea about who it belonged to.

"Why would anyone leave their underwear in here?" Mike asked. Then he grinned. I didn't like it. "You know Bella, all I have to do is switch the sign to say closed…"

I heard the door of the store open, then smash against the wall behind it. Then, I was in Edward's arms and out of the tent.

"Bella quits!" Edward yelled, pointing at Mike.

"What's going on?" Mike asked, his voice filled with fake innocence, and from I could tell, fear.

"I said she quits. That's all you need to know you little creep!" I had never seen Edward act like this before. There was a rage in his voice, and he looked at Mike as if he would like nothing better than to snap him in half, which I knew he could do.

Mike was still standing there, dumbfounded, when Edward scooped me up onto his shoulder, grabbed the bra and boxers, and walked out of the store. He set me down in the car, threw the unmentionables into the back seat. I waited to speak until he was sitting beside me, and we were a mile away from the store.

"Uh, Edward?"

"Yes?"

"What… just… happened?"

"Let's just say that after finding my siblings' things, Mike was beginning to picture your… things." I immediately realized why I had just quit the Newton's.

"Oh… Why did you bring their stuff back?"

"After Mike realized that he wouldn't be seeing yours he was more than happy to have Rosalie's in hand, besides, it will make for an excellent payback." My smile matched Edward's. After yesterday's embarrassment, I was glad that Edward was ready to defend my honor -or get back at them, whatever.

We walked in the door, and I was stunned to see what was in front of me. The living room of the Cullen home looked like it had been transformed into a classroom. There were three tables, two chairs at each, and a large desk at the front. I saw a projection screen that had been pulled down over the tall wall. Esme was really going all out for this thing.

"Edward?"

"Shh…"

"They're back!" I heard Esme scream from the kitchen. I turned around to find Jasper walking down the stairs toting Alice on his back. Rosalie was not far behind them with a disgusted look on her face.

"Emmett, you know Esme won't allow it!"

"It's a class Rose! Every class I've been to had show and tell one time or another!" That's when I saw Emmett, who was lugging a giant chalkboard in his arms. There was a piece of cloth draped over the front, but Alice was giggling, and Edward looked frustrated, so I could only imagine what was on it.

"Sit down everyone!" Esme said. I was surprised to see her. She was dressed in a long skirt, one that was very similar to the ones my elementary teachers had worn. In her hand, was an apple. I assumed it was for dramatic effect.

"Emmett, what is that?"

"It's for show and tell!" Emmett yelled, pulling it up to the front of the room. "Mornin' Esme!"

"Emmett, I know that most classes have show and tell, but this is different…"

"Aw.. C'mon Esme," Emmett said, pouting, "Pleeaassee…"

"Alright Emmett, aright" Esme said sitting at her desk. She covered her face with her hands.
