Chapter Two

"Geeze I really missed this in those four years, major bummer!" I stood in a relaxed defensive position. I raised my hand palm up and curled my fingers. Edward launched at me but I side stepped easily evading his pathetic attack.

"you know I have gotten better in those four years." Edward spat, he heard he pathetic comment.

"then show it!" I laughed springing at him, Taken by surprise as only I can evoke Edward fell under my weight. "I win!" I laughed.

"Yes you certainly do, you where always around to beat down my ego. And now you're back. Go beat Emmett's ego his has gotten too big as of recently."

Alice stood at the bottom of the steps neither of us noticed her we were to involved in our conversation. A smile lit her face, she was happy to have me back possibly more so than Edward. That would be because her shopping buddy is back.

"Bella heard something and is now headed down the stairs in pursuit of you Edward. Plus she's not quite sure she likes Shannon, yet." Alice told us. Edward started for the stairs when I saw that he had dirt all over his back from the way I had beaten him. 'You have dirt on your back, Andy!" Andy is my nickname for him and it's always been that way, his for me is candy 'cause it rhymes with Andy.

"Then get it off Candy" Edward stopped walking so I could, Alice looked perplexed, the family other than Carlisle don't know about the names.

Bella tipped down the porch steps and was about to smack face first into the gravel drive way. But I caught her, she looked up thankful. She gripped my arm as I set her up right. See, at sometimes I'm faster than Edward but only on rare occasions.

"Charlie will be home soon and if I'm not there you won't even be able to enter the house. Oh and can we take the car? I'd prefer not to run." she asked and Edward kissed her forehead "of course love. I'll be right back." Edward then turned to me and asked if I wanted to check on my babies. To which the answer was, duh.

We ran back to the garage that you cannot see from any floor of the house roof included. It was actually a very large building; we have way too many cars. Bella hasn't even seen half of them. Rose and I are constantly competing over who has the most cars.

Edward led me to the back of the building to a row of covered cars. That entire row was mine. Rose had the row in front or this one and the first row consists of everybody else's. There is also another small attachment that houses the old cars, most of are mine. The rows are fifteen cars long; I told you it was a big building.

My row starts with my Ferrari F430 spider and my Ferrari Enzo and my Ferrari 599GTB, followed by the silver and blue Dodge Viper Coupe, then the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, my four Lamborghini's the Murciélago (lime green), Murciélago LP640 roadster, Diablo (purple), and Gallardo roadster (yellow). My two lotus's follow those, my Elise (blue) and Exige (orange). Then there is my Maserati MC12. Then the Lexus LF-A, the '68 Camaro and last but not least was the F1 car.

I inspected each one as the dust cover was removed. "You took them out at least once a year right?" I ask my babies have to stay in use, Edward nodded. "Rose didn't touch them right?"

"To the best of my ability and Emmett's, yes she did not touch them."

Edward placed the last of the dust covers in the cabinet and made for the first row. He walked over to the Volvo S80 and opened the door.

"Aw, you dumped the Porsche Carrera GT for that hunk of junk. Ok I'll admit it goes fast but it doesn't have the visual appeal."

"hey don't diss, I did not dump the GT it's in one of the storage rooms with your old cars. This blends in better here than any or the cars in your 's and Rosalie's rows."

"Oh and when you pick up Bella and take her home send Alice out here would you please? Is rose winning?"

"Yes I will and yes she is by one car."

"Oh, hells! Have you been window shopping recently?"

"No, you have to do it on your own."

"How much you want to bet that the car she's winning by was picked by Emmett?"

"The usual"

"Unwise, very unwise."

"Crap! They had the conversation here, didn't they?" I just nodded and he said "I'll do it when I get back." Grumbling to himself he got in the car and drove off.

Alice stepped in the door way, a curious look on her face. "hey which would you like to ride in today?" I asked waving arms flamboyantly towards my row.

"When you go car shopping you have to have something flashy to show you're here to buy big. But fast because we don't want to miss Edwards little show, now do we?" we laughed evilly and got in to my Maserati MC12. Just like she said flashy but fast.

We were successful; I now had the lead by one very sexy very fast car. Rose you are going down. See rose and I have this little competition going on. We are both big car people, so we are seeing who has the most and you can't have any repeat cars.

We got back to the house at the same time Edward did, "hey Edward?" I called "you ready to get on your groove thing. Oh and no help this time!" Edward ran disappearing into the house; I turned to Alice and asked "was that a little harsh?"

"No things have been way to quiet without you, oh and this is the first time Edwards lost a bet in the past four years." We laughed.

Some how the word got round to the family, that Edward lost a bet to me and had to do the usual so they all gathered in the living room to wait for him.
