Chapter 7
Recap: "So what's the plan, Miss Swan?"
I had already filled in Edward on the plan. He was laughing so hard and so loud that I thought he was going to break the windows of his precious Volvo.
"I love it! That will definitely teach her to mess with you. Remind me never to get on your bad side." Both him and I were laughing.
"Ok. Now come on. We have to get ready for her. We should also probably fill everyone else in on the plan. Maybe they will all help us." He nodded in agreement. I was about to get out the car when his voice startled me.
"Bella."
I looked at him. He looked so...human. He looked as though he was tripping over his own words. There was only one other time where this happened. But I highly doubt that this about the same thing.
"My family is going hunting tonight and..."
I cut him off. "Already? They just went today." He saw I was confused.
"Well they were out but then Alice got the vision of Charlie and everyone raced back home so they never got to finish. So needless to say, they all need to go back out."
I hadn't thought of that. That makes sense. I nodded to show him I understood and for him to continue what he was saying before.
"Well Bella...I know I said that we should wait...but I don't know...I mean since things may be delayed...and I really want to...I mean..."
I sat there with my jaw dropped. Was he actually saying what I think he was saying?? No. I must have been misinterpreting. "Edward, what are you trying to say?" I only then noticed that he had been staring down at his lap, avoiding my gaze. He looked up at me and I noticed his eyes. They were black, but not from hunger, at least not the normal kind of vampire hunger. Could it be...passion?
"Bella, I would like to try tonight while everyone is gone."
I looked at him and he was staring at me waiting patiently for my reaction. I got a huge grin on my face and leaned towards him and put my arms around his neck and hugged him. "Oh Edward!" I could feel him smiling and he hugged me back.
"Well, before we have our fun, Miss Swan, I believe we have a little bit of revenge to fulfill."
With that both of us got out of the car and we both ran to the house at HUMAN speed.
Sitting in the living room was the whole Cullen family, even Alice. Phase 1 of revenge...get rid of Alice.
"Ready?"
I winked at him to say 'let's do this.' "Hey everyone. Alice, Charlie asked when he was going to see you. He was looking forward to your visit today. He said he would be more than willing to see you tonight if you would like."
Her face lit up and she was already on her feet bounding around the living room. "Can I go Carlisle? Please Please Please!!"
Wow. Who knew such a little thing could have so much energy. This was going to be way too easy. Carlisle looked at me and I winked. He took that as a sign that something was going to happen.
"Of course Alice. Jasper, why don't you accompany her." Both Alice and Jasper were already on their feet.
"Of course. Come one Alice. Bye everyone." And with that, both of them were out the door and phase 1 was complete.
As soon as they were gone, everyone looked at us and wondered what was going on. Edward filled everyone in about what Alice had done to both him and me. He then told them about our plan. Everyone was laughing, including Carlisle. "Now, who would like to help us in getting a little revenge on her?" Everyone agreed.
As he was filling in everyone, I suddenly thought of a problem that I had not considered before. Her visions! I was suddenly worried. "Wait a minute. What about her visions? Won't she see our plan?"
Everyone thought about that for a minute. None of us had factored that into our plan. Carlisle then looked up and he was laughing. How could he be laughing at a time like this?
"It's true that she can see the future. But Bella, how long has this been planned?"
"About 30 minutes at most. Why?"
"And have you been changing the plan at all?"
At that moment a light bulb went off in my head. "I got it! As long as I keep changing my mind, the vision will constantly change and she won't know what's going on. So that's the secret to keep this hidden from her. Keep changing my mind!" Now that I knew the secret, I would be able to get my wish. I would be able to pull the ultimate revenge prank on Alice.
About 2 hours later, everything was set up and both Alice and Jasper were home. And so it begins. Everyone was in place. Alice and Jasper came walking up to the house. They stopped on the porch to have a quick kiss. I hit the call button on the walkie-talkie. "Now Emmett." I whispered it as softly as I could. Next thing I knew, a bucket of water was dumper on the two of them, getting them completely drenched. They both stormed into the house and ran upstairs to their room to change, no doubt. Edward was immediately by my side as soon as the coast was clear. He scooped me up in his arms and ran me upstairs. Alice emerged from room as Edward and I rounded the corner. Alice looked angry and was the first to speak.
"What was that about?!"
I looked her innocently. "I don't know what you're talking about. Edward and I were in the kitchen and everyone is gone. Maybe it was a sudden downpour."
"I don't care what it was. All I know is Jasper and I are going to go join everyone else who are out hunting and leave you two the house."
Edward was the next to speak. "Alice, didn't they tell you? Bella and I are staying at her house so we can keep track of everything while Charlie is in the hospital. And we were hoping you and Jasper could stay here until everyone else got back."
She suddenly went from a pissed off vampire to her usual spunky self. "So you mean Jasper and I will be alone? With no one else in the house for the next few hours?"
Edward and I both laughed like we normally would. This is working perfectly. "Of course Alice. Unless you prefer that Edward and I stay here and you and Jasper go out and hunt with a bunch of cranky vampires." She was so happy right now. This was too easy.
"Oh no. It's fine. Well, I guess we will you see you later then. I guess it's time for you to go. Bye." She was literally shoving us out the door. She obviously couldn't wait for her alone time with Jasper. When we were out on the porch, she closed the door and we both could hear it lock.
Both Edward and I had to hold back our laughter. This is working better than expected.
Both Edward and I went out and looked up at Alice and Jasper's room from the yard and we saw their light went out. Right on cue. I looked up at Edward and gave him a nod as a cue to go do his part. He was going to be scarred for life, and he knew it, but he was willing to take one for the time. I knew I loved him for a reason. I got on the walkie-talkie again. "Rosalie, you taping?"
"Yep, I'm getting everything on tape. This is gonna be good."
He snuck back into the house and walked quietly up to Alice's room. He waited until I got the ok from Rose to tell him to go in. I got it and I quickly got on "Now Edward."
He opened Alice's door right on cue. "Alice, I was wondering if you..."
Alice turned around and I could hear the scream from outside. This was just getting better and better by the minute.
"Alice, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I'll just go." He closed the door just before Alice could forcefully throw a pillow in his direction.
Before long, he was by my side. "I am gonna need serious therapy after seeing that. I hope you know that."
I reached up on my tiptoes and kissed him. "I will make it up to you later. Promise." I saw him grinning. We both let out a quiet giggle. Then I remembered that there was one final part to my plot. I got back on the walkie-talkie for the last time. "Esme, Carlisle, ready to finish this?"
Esme was the one to answer. "Of course Bella. This is gonna be fun."
Just then Carlisle came on. "I hope you are paying for both Edward and my therapy session for this." I heard a loud SLAP! "Ouch! What was that for?"
"Oh, just shut up dear and come on. It's show time."
Edward and I couldn't help but giggle. "Remind me to thank Esme for finally smacking him. We have been wanting to do it for centuries."
Esme and Carlisle stood outside Alice's door quiet and just waiting for the perfect time. I gave them their cue and then they began their part in my plan. Esme was the first to speak. "Carlisle, I think I left it in Alice's room. Let's check there." She opened Alice's door and I could hear a scream. Who's it was, I wasn't sure but I knew everything was going as planned. "ALICE CULLEN! JASPER HALE! I THOUGHT YOU WENT OUT HUNTING WITH THE OTHERS!"
"MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!" Alice and Jasper quickly covered themselves with the sheet while looking horrified at their mother.
"CARLISLE DON'T COME IN HERE!"
"Why not dear? ALICE CULLEN! JASPER HALE! YOU GET OUT OF THAT BED THIS INSTANT! GET DRESSED AND GO DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW!" Then I heard the door slam shut.
Edward and I were doubled over laughing quietly to ourselves. This worked out better than expected. Everyone played their part perfectly. I needed to remember to thank them all.
As Jasper and Alice came downstairs, everyone came back from their 'hunting trip'. Before Rose, Edward and I went inside, we met outside. Rose gave me the tape and we put it in a case titled, "Newlyweds" (sorry I was watching E! and they were talking about Jessica Simpson and her show and I thought the title worked well for this story). "Rose, head inside."
They all went into the living room, making sure to keep an excellent poker face. Everyone sat down next to their significant other, except for Esme and Carlisle who stood in the center. Carlisle waited until we were all seated before beginning.
"Well, while you were all out, Esme and I discovered a certain couple that could not help but entertain themselves in everyone's absence."
Edward and I took this as our cue to head in. It was my turn to play my part. "Hey everyone! I found this great new show! Who wants to watch it with me? It's called 'Newlyweds'." I looked around and everyone agreed, except for Carlisle and Esme of course. Good job guys. Play the parent roles. We are almost finished.
"Bella, now is not the best time."
"Oh, come on Carlisle. I heard it's really funny. I bet you will love it."
"Oh ok, fine. But as soon as it is over, we are going to finish our little meeting. Do I make myself clear?"
We all answered in unison, even me, "Yes, dad."
"Ok. Bella, the floor is yours."
"Excellent. Edward, can pop it in please?"
"Of course."
We all settled down and waited for the 'show' to play on the screen. Everyone, except for Alice and Jasper were preparing themselves for the funniest thing they have seen in centuries. Revenge is sweet. Everyone was settled and the movie began. We all started rolling on the floor laughing as we saw Alice and Jasper undress and hop into bed and become like rabbits. We were all laughing and so we all looked at the two of them and they were mortified. Alice was the first to speak, and of course, it was to me.
"You son of a bitch."
"Hey remember when you gave everyone a detailed description of what Edward and I were going to do that you saw in your vision? Well this was my version of payback."
"How did you know about the vision?"
Carlisle at that point cleared his throat and she understood who told. Her face then went from horrified to a smile. She and Jasper both started laughing along with the rest of us. We turned off the movie cause we really didn't want to watch it (for obvious reasons).
Alice and Jasper both took me outside to talk to me. Alice was the first to speak. "Bella, did you come with that whole plan on your own?" She didn't sound mad. She actually sounded...impressed.
"Yes I did. I figured this was a good form of punishment. You tell everyone about your detailed vision of Edward and me so we show everyone a video, an equivalent of a detailed vision, of you and Jasper. I figured this would even us out...for now." All 3 of us laughed.
"I'm sorry Bella. I don't know what I was thinking when I told everyone. But, I will say this. No one has ever been able to get revenge on me and I don't think that even if someone does, they will never be able to top this. This is better than anything I could have ever come up with. I'm impressed, Bella. Good job. And, I give you full permission to take revenge on me again if ever I am this stupid ever again. Deal?"
I was stunned by her words and I pulled her into a hug. I whispered into her ear, "Deal." I looked at Jasper and said, "No hard feelings right?"
He had a smile on his face so I knew I was forgiven. "Of course not Bella. I am impressed at how evil you are when you want to be. Remind me to stay off your bad side."
"Hmm, that's what Edward said too. What is the world coming to? Vampires afraid of a puny little human. This will forever be written in the history books."
All 3 of us laughed and walked back into the house to enjoy the rest of the evening.
