Fun Times in Phoenix
Jasper POV-
I came over to look at another video, "Civil War Star Wars Style."
Bella stopped in mid story telling mode, "Jasper you will get a kick out of this."
Do I even want to know? I wondered, "What is it about exactly?"
Bella smiled and I can feel the happiness burning off of her like crazy, "Well in history class we had a group assignment and since we were studying the Civil War that was the topic we had to do. And well…we got off topic…"
"Ok then..." I said slowly.
"Did you get a good grade?" Carlisle asked
"Oh yea. The teacher was a Star Wars fanatic…we swear that if he could marry George Lucas he would…I would have loved to marry Hayden Christensen." Bella said with a sigh.
"WHAT?" Edward shouted in shock, "HOW MANY OTHER GUYS ARE THERE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED TO MARRIED BESIDES ME?"
Edward's emotions were off the wall: anger, betrayed, astounded, "You need to chill dude!" I said
"No I don't wanna chill! I want to know why my wife wants to marry other guys!" Edward yelled at me then he turned to Bella, "What can I do to make you happy love?"
Bella laughed, "Edward I am happy with you. Besides Hayden Christensen is the guy who plays Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. I use to consider Padme lucky to be with him."
Edward shook his head, "Ok then…while we are on the topic can I ask what other guy do you consider hot and want to be with?"
"Well there is Jack Dawson aka Leonardo DiCaprio, then the guy who plays Wesley from the Princess Bride, and…Edward are you writing this down?" Bella looked shock as Edward had a pen and paper in his hands.
Edward looked down then back at Bella and he said, "It's for research love."
We laughed and then Emmett asked, "Ok can we watch the movie now?"
"Ok." I placed the tape into the VCR and it started:
"So what are we going to do for the project?" Bella asked. They were in their circle in a basement, but there was no smoke this time.
"I do not know nor do I really care." Some guy with brown hair said.
"Kevin this is worth fifty percent of our grade. You have to care." Nicole stated
Kevin shook his head, "Not right now I don't. I want to watch Star Wars."
"Dude you need a different hobby." Clint said to him
"But Anakin is so dreamy." Stacy sighed.
"So are you saying that I am not good enough?" Clint asked hurt.
"No sweetie but you do not carry a sexy lightsaber." She said. Then when he started to pout she said, "But I love you too."
They kissed and Kevin said, "Well Padme is pretty awesome herself."
"What? What about me?" Nicole cried.
"Not that you're not awesome…because you are." Kevin said.
Nicole looked at Stacy and Clint then said, "I get it…come here." Then they kissed.
Bella just watched and took a look at the empty couch. Her eyes held a sense of longing.
"So I take it you were the minor outcast?" I asked her sensing the minor change in her mood.
Bella sighed, "Yea. I mean we were friends for awhile before Chase came into the picture. Then once he came we got together, then Kevin and Clint came along. So we used to have group dates and stuff…now when he died it was just awkward."
"Was that why you were shutting them out?" Rose asked feeling concerned.
Bella nodded, "Well that and I didn't want to be a burden."
We just nodded. Alice leaned into me and I held her close. I could not imagine what I would do if I lost Alice like Bella lost Chase. I saw Edward nod slightly as if agreeing with me. Bella was his world and reason for existing. He pulled her close to him and she snuggled right up against him.
"Ok so if you guys will come up to breathe then I think we should get back to the project." Bella said.
They blushed and refocused. After five minutes failed ideas Kevin said, "Ok this is pointless. I am going to watch Star Wars."
So they flicked on the TV and started watching and then Stacy shouted, "THAT'S IT!"
"What?" They all shouted.
"We can make a movie using Star Wars to do our project. Imagine the Union versus the Confederates being the Sith and the Republic. The Union can be the Republic and the Sith can be the Confederates." Stacy explained.
They sat and Bella said, "Brilliant! Now what topic of the War are we going to talk about?"
They discussed the ideas and the screen went black.
"That was a fail. Where is the rest of it?" Emmett asked
"It's getting there just chill." Bella said. No sooner than she spoke the video came back on. And the words scrolled by like the beginning of Star Wars
The Star Civil War
Chapter Three
The year is 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg. The Confederates are planning to take the small little town. The Union is going to meet them for an all out bloodshed on July 1. The leader of the Confederate Sith Army is Darth Lee and the leader of the Union Republic is Jedi General Meade. This is going to be the bloodiest three day battle with a total of 23,049 causality for the Army of the Republic (Union) and 24,000 for the Army of the Sith (Confederates).
"Really? No seriously…really Bella?" I had to ask this was funny but slightly disturbing.
Bella nodded with a little too much enthusiasm, "Yes it was necessary. Besides it gets better."
"How can this get any better?" Alice asked laughing at my facial expression.
"Oh you'll see." Was the scary reply.
"Hey Bella…uhm…what is with the stuffed animals with blood on them and their stuffing all over the place…isn't that kind of morbid?" Jake asked
"Those are supposed to be dead jedi and clones and yes but we couldn't find anything one else." Bella explained.
"Oh ok…hey Bella what character are you playing?" Emmett asked again.
"It's a surprise." She smiled.
"Oh ok…uhm one more question, who is filming?"
"Clint. Stacy added the effects."
We nodded.
"Day Two…so many Jedi lost in one day…so young." Kevin said who was playing Meade.
"What do we do Master?" Nicole asked playing Warren.
"We must take out Darth Lee." Meade said looking determined.
There was a cool transition showing a room with someone wearing a Vader costume and Stacy, "What do we do Lord Lee?" Stacy asked who was playing Longstreet.
"I don't know. Ever since Stuart took off I have been blind," Lee's voice was cold and hard and unrecognizable.
"Well what can we do?" Stacy asked again.
Lee paced and said, "Have Pickett attack Little Round Top. I will take care of Meade.
There was another cool transition and there were toy soldiers attacking each other on some kind of pillow.
"Let me guess…improvising." I asked
"Yes." Bella nodded
"The point of the pillow love?" Edward asked.
"It's supposed to be Little Round Top. The Sith is attacking the hill and the Jedi Republic is defending it." Bella explained.
Just then they scene changed to outside where Lee and Meade met up with Lightsabers.
"Day three at last. You are going to suffer." Lee's voice said
"Oh it is you who will suffer! For the Union!" Meade launched his attack
"For the Confederate!" Lee met him.
Lightsaber met lightsaber as they were now fighting. Lee was quick with the raging offensive moves as he slashed angrily at his opponent, but Meade was just as quick with his defensive moves. When they fought it was as if they were dancing. Nothing existed for these two had disciplined focus. But alas there was a wrong move on Lee's part. Meade blocked Lee's lightsaber that was aimed at his stomach. And Lee was disarmed. But Lee was quick and dodged the 'deadly' jab and regained his lightsaber but Meade cut the mask off.
"BELLA!" We all shouted astounded.
"DUDE REALLY?" Emmett shouted.
"So I took a few sword fighting classes no big." Bella shrugged. We all gawked.
Bella smirked and Kevin was caught off guard. Just then there was a toy Vader who got on a horse and Bella's voice called a retreat. The movie ended with:
We know that this was not a complete historical account but who cares? Do we win? To be continued.
"What we got an A on it." Bella said with a shrug.
"You know how to do karate and use a sword?" Emmett asked
"Yes. And the point of your question?" she fired back
"Just making sure."
I laughed and everyone stared, "You were right I did get a kick out of it."
