We were outside the Cullen's huge house, in the field; practicing. Emmett was fighting Jasper, Alice was with Rose, and Esme was with Carlisle. Edward was giving me pointers, and commenting. I wasn't listening. And he knew it. Stupid shiny Volvo owner.
Carlisle had said I could try after they had demonstrated. Yeah, it didn't look easy. Alice could see all your next moves, Edward could read all of your next moves, Emmett could poke you and break your arm, Jasper could make you nervous, and Rose could distract you with her profound beauty. I don't know what Carlisle and Esme can do. A/N: I don't remember what Carlisle and Esme's special "gifts" are so you'll just have to ignore itthanks!
"Are you ready, Liv?" Jasper asked. They had all started calling me by my nickname.
"I guess," I walked up in front of him, and the others stood, watching. They made me nervous, or was it Jasper? Hmm.
We both got down in a defensive crouch, waiting for the other to spring; I shifted my feet back in forth in anticipation. Jasper! Grrr.
He sprang at me, and I stood at the last minute, and jumped so that he went under me, like you see in the movies. I turned around and jumped on top of him as he was getting back up. I put my teeth at his neck as he was trying to shake me off.
"Ha, ha! You're amateur emotions do not phase me! Muahahahaha!"
"You owe me fifty bucks man!" Emmett yelled.
"Jasper handed him the money. "I let her win, good manners and all. It was completely intentional."
"Right!" We all said at once.
After that, Carlisle let me go against everyone else. I beat everyone except Emmett, Edward, and Alice.
"Hey, next time, I could just wave something shiny in Emmett's face and distract him from you!" Jasper suggested.
"thanks, but it wouldn't be good manners!" I replied.
"Would you guys just let it go!?" He yelled and went inside the house.
"Why let go something so beautiful? It's like throwing brand new Gucci shoes in the dumpster!" Alice said yelled back at him.
"Lovely comparison, Alice." Jasper said sarcastically.
"Guys! Guys! Come in here!" Emmett yelled, then disappeared into the house again.
Alice, Jasper, and I exchanged glances, then ran inside the house. We caught up with him in the living room, and Rose, Carlisle, Esme, and Edward were sitting in chairs. Emotions came from all directions, Emmett, Edward, Carlisle and Esme were excited. But rose was disappointed. I wondered what this would be about.
We all sat down in chairs and waited for someone to speak.
Carlisle sat up in his chair, "Esme suggested, to keep off the anxiety, that we should do something enjoyable, with the whole family. So"-
"So in other words, spend time with each other before we all die?" Jasper asked.
"No, Jasper! Just to take the edge off," she said her words slowly, "we are going to an amusement park." Esme replied.
"You mean, with all the humans? In a huge park!?" Jasper exclaimed. Alice was bouncing up and down in her seat. This was going to be an interesting experience.
"Bella is coming, too. You'll be all right Jasper." Carlisle reassured him.
Jasper sunk back in chair with a gloomy look on his face. I was quite excited, I had not been to an amusement park since I was a little girl.
"How long to we have to stay?" Jasper moaned.
"As long as we want to stay," Esme replied in a kind voice.
"When do we leave?" Emmett asked.
"As soon as Edward gets Bella." Carlisle said.
Edward got up and went to the garage. We heard his Volvo pull out and speed down the road. He was back, with Bella, in record time.
We went out to the garage, and piled into cars. Emmett and Rose went in Emmett's jeep, Edward and Bella in the Volvo, Carlisle and Esme in the Mercedes. Alice, Jasper and I in my beautiful Ferrari. I kissed it as I got in.
We arrived at the amusement park, I got out of my car. It was bigger than the ones I normally went to as a child. This one had roller coasters, I counted three. And I planned to go on all of them. Jasper gulped as he looked at the biggest one.
"Not scared are we, Jazz?" Emmett smirked.
Jasper sent a wave of fear towards Emmett. And Emmett caught it.
"Jasper! Stop it!" Emmett glared, and Jasper just laughed.
"Well, let's not wait for the grass to grow, shall we?" Carlisle said.
We walked up to the ticket booth and got a wristband each. Emmett had promised himself that he would ride all the rides. Jasper bet him he wouldn't. But before they could seal the deal, Carlisle had demanded we all stay together. Carlisle could only think of one fair way to pick the person who would be picking which ride we go on. Draw straws.
A/N: and when I say Carlisle, I mean me. My mind is running slow at the moment. And I couldn't remember whether the short straw wins, or the long straw, I'm going with short straw. If I'm wrong ignore it
Everyone picked a straw and Bella got the short one. She looked around the park and pointed to a rollercoaster that had loops and drops and twists and turns in it. Bella and I were going to get along with each other very well in the future.
We walked up to the rollercoaster and into the very short line. I had noticed people had started to clear way when we got here. I didn't mind though, the other's nervousness about being so close to humans was edging off. We sat in our seats on the rollercoaster and pulled the big, squishy thing over our heads. The rollercoaster started at a slow pace, but quickly built speed. Then I noticed Emmett still had his hat on. I yelled for him to take it off.
"Why!?" he yelled back.
"Because you'll lose it!" I answered his question.
And right after I had said that, his hat blew off. I tried to grab it but it was gone forever.
"Nooooo! My hat! My favorite hat! Nooooo! I will have vengeance!" he yelled. Then he punched the side of the rollercoaster very hard, and scraps of metal floated to the ground. The humans looked up in surprise. Then, they stopped the ride. We were upside down.
After a while a fire truck came to get us off the ride. We adjusted Bella in a new seat so she would be more likely to get taken down first. The blood was rushing to her head, and she had started to see in purple. That's probably not a good sign.
They took the last of us and then checked us for injuries. We left and went to go sit on a bench.
"Emmett Cullen!" Esme fumed.
"What!? My hat flew off! My favorite hat!" He defended himself.
"You could have gotten Bella killed!"
"Well, how was I supposed to know they were going to stop it!?" he said.
"Emmett, when they see metal falling from a rollercoaster, they aren't going to just pass it up!"
"You can't expect me to know what they're gonna do! Humans are weird!"
"We are not!" Bella stood up for herself.
"Guys! Let's just draw straws, and get on with the next ride!" Carlisle demanded.
He pulled out the straws and handed them to Bella. Everyone picked one. Emmett got the short straw. He scanned the area, and his eyes fell onto a ride. He pointed.
"There." He said, in a transfixed voice.
We all looked to where he was pointing, and saw a ride called Extreme Bumper cars. Alice giggled. This was going to get interesting. We walked up to the bumper cars and stood in the line. There were a group of five little kids. All around seven. We chose our cars, mine was yellow, Emmett's was red, Jasper's was purple, and Edward made Bella get blue, while he took a separate one for himself, which also was blue. Carlisle and Esme's was green, Alice and Rosalie's was yellow also. We all started to move and Emmett immediately slammed into Jasper. He almost flew out of the car from the impact. I targeted one of the little kids and slammed down the gas. I hit him and he shot all the way to the other end. But I was immediately surrounded by more seven year olds. They all slammed into me at once, but it didn't phase me. They didn't call me a vampire for no reason. I started to spin in circles to hit all of them at once. They all shot back in the direction they had come. I made a break for it and saw Bella chasing down Edward. I decided to join her. I came at him from the front and Bella came at him from the back. We slammed into him at the same time and his bumper car went flying in to the air. We both backed up so he wouldn't land on us. I looked over at the ride worker and she was reading a magazine and yawning. I heard a screech from a car, and saw Emmett chasing Jasper, and he was catching up to him quick.
"Alice! Help!" he yelled before Emmett slammed into him and he literally flew out of the bumper car road, thing. He went through a window and smashed through a wall on the other side. The ride worker had an ipod turned all the way up and blasting through the earphones. She never even looked up. We left jasper there until she stopped the ride. We ran over to him and he was sitting next to the car with his legs crossed. He looked up when we came.
"Don't say anything! Just don't say anything!" he said.
We helped him up and went back beside the bench.
"You saw that Alice!" Jasper fumed.
"I knew no one would get hurt!" She said defensively.
Jasper just put his head down. Carlisle pulled out the straws and Emmett held them out in his hand. This time, Alice got the short one. She squealed and ran over to the merry-go-round. I decided it wasn't possible for anything to go wrong on a merry-go-round. I smiled to myself and ran up to Alice.
When we got onto the ride, I found an ostrich and hoisted myself up. I had to get help from Edward because I couldn't reach. I wasn't the tallest person in the world.
The merry-go-round started and once it got going, I heard Emmett yell, "Yeehaa!" and I smiled to myself again. But I looked up, and at that moment, I saw, none other than, Emmett's hat. It was on the top of the merry-go-round. The strap on the back was hooked on the point. I gasped in shock and yelled for Emmett. He looked back and I pointed to his hat. His eyes got round and his mouth hung open.
"My hat! My precious hat!" He exclaimed. He glanced around to make sure the coast was clear. He got off of the chicken he was riding, and started to climb. He got onto the glass roof and climbed to his hat. I heard a little kid scream.
"Mommy! Mommy! He's on the roof of the merry-go-round! Mommy!" he screamed.
"Michael! Stop making up stories or we are going to have to go home!" She said back.
He burst into tears, but did not say another word. I felt relief all around me. Emmett came back and sat down on his chicken again, a huge smile forming on his face. It wasn't as bad as the roller coaster and the bumper car fiascos, that was for sure! Carlisle pulled out the straws again and Alice held them cheerfully in her hand. Edward got the short one. A smile formed on his mouth. He turned towards a ride that took you high up into the air, then dropped you really fast, then jerked you up and down again. It was really high in the air. He pointed to it, and we all followed him over there. There was absolutely no line. We walked past the gate, and onto the ride. I sat beside Edward, Edward beside Bella; Bella was beside Jasper, with Alice on the end. The rest had to wait because we ran out of seats.
Excitement was building up as we got higher. Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle and Esme where just little dots now. We waited for a couple of seconds and I saw Bella brace herself. I had no need to, because, well, I'm a vampire.
The ride shot downwards, and Bella screamed. I could feel Edward wanting to tell her it was going to be alright, but I also felt amusement from him. We jerked back up then down again. Then we landed. I bet my hair was a mess. Bella's was. Edward's was always messy.
Everyone else rode it, and we went back to the bench, surprisingly without trouble. I think Emmett got bored on this one. The straws came out again, and I got the short straw.
A/N: I decided to give ya'll a little humor on this one, more seriousness in the future! Just to make this clear, I do use a couple of quotes from various books/movies in some places, and I use them intentionally, for humor! Updates coming soon. Thank you Advent of the Angel for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it lots.
