A/N: Yes, I know. I haven't posted in FOREVER! But I have a reason. Remember that I told you I had family in the hospital? Well, unfortunately, my uncle passed away last week. I've been super busy and super sad, but I am starting to get back into the swing of things. It's a good thing I already have so much of this story written or I wouldn't be able to finish it... :(

Thanks to all my loyal readers and reviewers! I just realized that this chapter is very short. I don't know why I did it like that, but here it is. I'll post again soon.

Oh, and would you like to contribute to the story? Read the end-note to find out how you can!

I own nothing! :(


Last time on Cullen Family Vacation:

"So, what's next on the schedule?" Jasper questioned, looking calm and relaxed.

"Can I pick this time? Please?" We all looked around. What's the worst that could happen?

"Go ahead Emmett. Just no hide-and-seek, okay?," I replied, hoping that my decision wouldn't come back to haunt me. Alice gasped. Crap!

"Cool! Were playing truth-or-dare!" Emmett declared, an evil smirk on his face.

Great. I could almost see my decision flying back to haunt me. Everyone was looking at me like I had killed their dog. Oops! This was definitely the worst that could happen!

Chapter 7: Sure Em, Calvin Klein has Nothing on You!

I stepped out of the shower, soaking wet, and grabbed a towel. I dried off and walked to my closet, pulling on the first things I saw; a pair of faded, holey jeans and a tight green t-shirt. I didn't realize until I was in doing my hair in the mirror that this was one of the graphic tee's that Emmett loved buying everyone. There was a picture of a giraffe on it, and it said 'I was vegetarian before it was cool'. He thought it was so funny! I blow-dried my hair, leaving it down and unstyled. I threw on some old black converse, dabbed on some lip balm and went to wait for Edward on our couch.

I usually dressed a lot nicer, but that was for during the week, when I had to work and be around people. Alice, of course, would have it no other way. The weekends, however, I stuck to my jeans and t-shirt routine. Edward returned shortly, carrying with him a small white gift bag.

"Surprise! I bought this for you last week," he said, handing it to me.

"Edward! You know I hate--"

"Just open it! You'll enjoy it, I guarantee."

"Fine!"

I opened it. It was a small velvet box. More jewelry, great. I opened the velvet box apprehensively, and pulled out the long, thin white-gold chain. Hanging from the chain was a shiny, white-gold heart; a locket. I opened the locket; on one side was a picture of me and Edward, on the other was a picture of Reneesme. It was perfect.

"Oh Edward! It's beautiful! Thank you so much!" He picked me up, walking me over to our bed and sitting me down on the edge. He quickly secured the locket around my neck.

"You're more than welcome my love. Now you have us with you always."

"Yes, I will. It's perfect. You're so amazing!" He was amazing! Such a thoughtful man. I looked at him. He was so adorable in his light-wash jeans and plain black shirt. His freshly washed hair looked perfectly messy and his lips formed my favorite crooked smile. I got up and pulled him close to me. I smelled his sweet breath, savoring it, before pulling him into a passionate kiss. I ran my finger through his hair, pulling it eagerly. I guess we were both caught up in the moment, because the next thing I heard was Alice, clearing her throat.

"Jeez, get a room you too!" she said, shielding her eyes.

"We have a room! You're standing in the middle of it, interrupting," Edward pointed out.

"And doing a fine job of it!" I added, backing my hubby up.

"Yeah, yeah. Well, if you two don't mind, were all waiting in the living room for you."

Dang! I almost forgot about that. Truth or dare! I had let Emmett pick our next activity, and now we had to play. Edward's genius plan for us all to shower and change first had bought us some time, but not nearly enough.

"Actually, we do mind," I tried. "We're a little busy here. Why don't you guys get started without us and we'll be down in no time." Hey, it was worth a shot right?

"Ha! You are funny Bella. Absolutely not! It's your fault we're all in this mess in the first place! Plus, Emmett is threatening to come up here and drag you down by your toes if you don't come with me, and we all know he'll do it!"

"Fine! Let's go Bella. Only God knows what horrors await us, might as well get it over with." Edward picked me up, bridal style, and darted off towards the living room in the 'main house'. We entered to find everyone sitting on the sofa, everyone but Emmett looked a little irritated with us, or, well, me.

"Lovin' the shirt Bella! I have such great style!" Emmett proudly approved of the shirt he had bought me.

"Sure Em, Calvin Klein has nothing on you!" I retorted, adding a sarcastic thumbs up.

Jasper laughed, using Alice's hair to drown out the sound.

"Whatever. You're the one who put it on! BURNED! Ha!"

"Wow Em, did you really just say 'burned'?" Jasper asked. We all had amused looks on our faces. Emmett was such a big dork!

"Yes, Jasper. I did. Drop it! It's time to start the game!"

"Yeah guys, let's start. Emmett, bring the bowl over here," Alice instructed. "House rules everybody."

Our house rules were put in to place to keep the game under control, although it still managed to pass my comfort level every time. There were only five.

1. Each player had to do one truth and one dare, pulled out of a bowl at random, to keep the game even. Otherwise, we'd all just pick on Emmett!

2. I had to keep my shield over Alice, Edward and Jasper at all times, to stop them from using their powers and keep the game fair.

3. It must stay PG-13.

4. No harm could be done to the body or house.

5. Vetoes were available, only if the majority agreed that the truth or dare was over the line. But, other than that, you had to complete the task.

I threw my shield around the three super-vampires and settled in next to Edward.

"My choice, so I go first!" Emmett said while thrusting his hand into the bowl. He looked at the slip in his hand and read it. "Bella, truth!"

Great. Of course I'd be first, and of course it'd be Emmett asking me. I'll kill him if he embarrasses me! Edward squeezed my shoulders.

"Alright Em, what do you want to know?" He thought for a few seconds.

"Okay, here's a good one. Tell us, dearest little sis, who is your favorite sibling?" Crap! Crap, crap, crap! Why Emmett? Why would you do this to me? Four vampires were staring at me, truly wanting to know. What could I say? This wouldn't end well. Think, Bella, think!

"I don't have a favorite sibling." It was true, I didn't. I at least had to try it!

"Nope. Bull! That's a cop-out Bells. We want an answer! Who is it?" I realized Emmett didn't specify his question, it was very broad. I found my way out of this, and Emmett just eliminated himself from the running.

"Yeah, Bella. Who is it? Hah!" Rosalie was out too. Maybe this wouldn't be too hard!

"She said she didn't have one guys, let it go," Jasper said, insecurity on his face. He must not think I'd ever pick him.

"No! I want to know. Tell us Bella. Come on!" Just like that, Alice took herself out. I realized the answer was easy.

"Well, since you didn't specify your question, I will answer it the way that I took it. Like I said, in general, I don't have a favorite sibling. It changes all the time. At this very moment, however, my favorite sibling would definitely be Jasper," I answered. The looks were all hurt, except for Jasper, he looked touched.

"Really? Mr. Emotional? Come on! How could you love him more than your big teddy bear brother?"

"I don't love him more; I love you all the same. Right now, however, I like him more than all of you other nosey vampires!" Edward laughed and Alice pouted. Jasper beamed.

"I'm hurt Bella! Hurt! Wipe that smile off your face Jasper!" Alice screamed, threatening poor Jasper. He winked at me and composed his face. Yep. I definitely made the right choice!

"Calm down people. Remember, you reap what you sow! Now, who's next love?" Edward said, looking towards the bowl and waiting for me to choose a slip of paper. Oh yeah, this should be fun.
