Chapter 7 Dance Off Part A

-Amy-

Amy went home furious. Not only did Emmett and Edward stop her fight, but also stood by and let them become dance partners when it was obvious they wanted to kill each other. Not likely to change. When she told Melinda this she said "Well, Nessie does want to beome you're friend. Maybe thisisaway for you and Eric to work on not killing each other on sight." Only problem, Nessie wants to be friends. Her family, -minus Eric and I think the Rosalie chick keeps glaring at me- wants us to be friends. Melinda and Jim wanted me to havea friend and if Nessie was the only one for the job their all for it. She closed her door and let her backpack fall to the floor. She groaned slowly and plopped down on her beanie cushion. Which she forgot to patched up, and as she sat do.n a whole torrent of styrofoam beads poured let out a frusterated yell as Melinda entered the room. "Wow, you've cleaned well." She teased. Amy stood up and caught a glimpse of herself in her mirror. Styrofoam sticking to almost every inch of her body,hair and face included. Melinda handed her the phone.

"It's for you." Amy groaned and thinking it was Nessie she said,"I'm not gonna do it. I'll end up kicking his butt again."

"Oh, so you still think you won." Why does this sound Eric? " I wouldn't even be calling you, I hope you realize that-" Amy interuppted.

"-Then why are you still talking? I Can hang up for you..." For a moment she thought she heard a cat snarl and some talking in the backround. Didn't know he had a cat... " The dance off was made into anassingment. And because we hate each other so much we're going to practice at my house. Also when you fall my father's a doctor so he can take care of you." He finished.

"Hmph, You too. Cause ifI fall I'm taking you with me." She heard some laughter on the other end a faint "What?" She heard him groan and say "Nessie just got her liscense and is coming to pick you up with Alice. My mother would like you to wear a skirt." He grumbled. Amy let out a frusterated groan. "Great." She muttered.

"So, yeah..." Eric said unsure what to do. "Well," Amy replied mischiviously. "I could clue you in on a recent discovery you, yourslef had trouble finding." She heard the heavy sarcasm when he replied. "And what would that be?"

Amy smiled and said. "The end call button." And with that she hung up.

-Emmett-

He couldn't help but laugh after Amy threatened to take Eric with her should she fall. Everyone turned to look at me, Nessie also trying not to laugh."What?" As Eric passed on the information Esme wanted to tell Amy to bring, everyone -but Eric- had to smile or chuckle, or in my case laugh, when she announced her 'recent discovery'. Jasper though was frowning. Edward shrugged while Eric cracked an evil smile. "What is it?" Alice asked while the restof us curious and our mind readers not spilling the beans. " She was defensive the entire time . Throughout the conversation she wouldn't let her guard down."

"You can tell all of that just listening to a phone conversation?"I asked incredulous. Man, who knew he could do that? Nessie looked aroundas if remembering something she wanted to tell us. "She's got a weird feeling around us. Because we resemble dead her gift? She's cautious, and I don't blame her." She said giving a small shudder. Which makes you think because even though she a mature adult now (although resembling a teenager) you can't help but not want to run over and hug her protect when you start remembering when she was growing up. "What do you mean by 'you don't blame her' Nessie?" Carlisle asked.

"Well, even though spirits are unsubstantional they can still be felt. You know, if they decide to attack sensitives like Amy, Melinda and Aiden are more likely to feel it than a normal human." She explained, sounding more and more like Edward every day.

"And because we look like dead people, which we technically are, she's cautious...?" Eric asked.

"I guess so." Nessie tilting her head. Bella walked in with the car keys.

"You're supposed to be picking her up with Alice." She said tossing the keys to her. The keys to the Mercedes Guardian I see.

"Really? The Mercedes? Why not the Porche?" She asked. "The Porche is mine. We take the porche I drive." Alice said heading out.

I gave her a light noogie. "For you're friends sake, 'kay?" She humphed on her way out obviously pouting. Jeez.

"Well this get more interesting." I say to Rosalie. She rolls her eyes of course. Probably envying Amy's humanity. Jasper tried to smile but it was more likely he was still trying to figure this 'defensive' Amy out. Personally he just thought she had a sense of humor and wanted her private matters kept private. We'll see. He thought not caring who heard.

-Esme-

When Amy arrived she couldn't hide her eagderness to teach the young teenager to was excited to meet her and hoped the two would start getting along. She waited with Amy in the living room while Carlilse got Eric. The living room had floor to ceiling windows on three of the four sides. So, naturally everyone was watching out of human sight in the woods to see these two attempt to get along.

"Well, well. Hell must have froze over." Eric taunted entering the room. She saw Amy give an evil smile. "Gotta make sure you don't screw up." She jumped between them holding her hands up. "Now, now. You two have to work together." She glanced at Eric.

"You have to lead, so set the example."Eric glared at the floor mumbling 'something' thankfully Amy couldn't hear. But her expression gave way that she knew Eric was in trouble. And indeed he was.

"Now, Carlisle and I are going to demonstrate. Watch and observe because you two will be doing it next." She told them walking over to Carlisle.

-Amy-

Amy grumbled to herslef as shemoved to one of the window walls. She had a sneaking suspicion that someone was watching her. You know that gut feeling you get. Eric stood at least three feet away looking like an impatient movie star waiting for screen really ticked her off at how stand-offish he could be. Even more so was her feelings towards him. Yeah, anger is definatly one of them. But also the...attraction. As if he's just acting and she has yet to see the real Eric. Well, even if she did want to get to know him shewas to short-tempered anyway. And the Cullens didn't feel right anyway so what could that mean? Every family had a secret. She turned to see Eric lean closer and say.

"You have styrofoam in you're hair." Amy felt herself blush and glare at the same time as her hands instictivly went to her long hair. Herfingers working through the long strands to find those darn beads. She wanted to put it up into a ponytail but Nessie was already knocking on her door as she fitted a black cotton skirt on. Now her hair sat straight and brown down to her waist giving a contrast to her light blue tank. She made sure towear something black to mourn her family. Her real family. They were old school but it's one of the few things she could hang on to that social services couldn't take away. She stood content in watching Eric's foster parents (fancy that, they were in the same boat) twirl gracefully in the middle of the cleared room when a horrid realization hit.

"You mean I have to touch him?" She didn't mean that to come out, especially with her mouth hanging open.

"Of course." Esme said, their dance stopped. "You're being watched in the woods, dear." Her mother's voice said.

Oh, now she can talk to me? After all these years? Amy thought bitterly. In her peripheral vision shesaw Eric look around as if he too heard her mother speak. She didn't care she was glaring out the window past him. Eric must have took the glare to be meantfor him and scowled.

"Let's get this over with." He said walking forward. She stood her ground even though her gut said run away. He held out his hand and she bit her lip. "Don't worry I don't have coodies." He said waiting. She rolled her eyes hoping she won't have to see flashbacks when she touch him.

"I promise I won't bite." He said smiling mischieviously, Carlisle and Esme sharing a quick worried glance. Amy smiled back placing her hand in his. "Good, Becuase then I'd have to bite back." As they went through the rest of the hour,the only thing Amy had trouble with was what her mother had told her and why, if she was earthbound in the first place, did she not appear sooner? She and Eric were gradually getting along, mostly for the sake of passing. Well, Amy had to question his motives now. At the end of the week they were ready.

Part two coming soon! Please review, since you've read this far, I'd like to know what to improve on and keep motivated for this story!
