Chapter 6- Goodbye Couple, Hello Team
Bella's POV
Everything was set and ready to go and apparently the rules we simple enough to follow.
All we had to do was make sure that nobody got really hurt, nothing that would expose the family or Jake, and we couldn't use any money to buy anything—we had to do thing ourselves.
The rules were set, the teams were made and we had agreed that we could start our little game tomorrow at 7:00 AM.
That only leave's us about four more hours, and since we were going to be plotting against our significant other for who knows how long, we were all spending this last night of peace enjoying our time in couples—except for Jacob and Renesmee—she was asleep on her room and Jacob had gone back to La Push to let the pack know why he would be away for a couple of days.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Edward asked me for what like seemed the tenth time in the last ten minutes. "You can call this thing off anytime and nobody would be mad at you"
I was currently laying my head on his chest, with one arm and leg draped over him, while he continued to caress my back.
"Yes I am sure" I told him "This will be fun, or are you having second thoughts?"
I looked up to see his reactions.
"Are you asking me if I'm scared?" he had one eyebrow raised and my favorite crooked grin.
"Well, you do happen to be on the worst team" I said "I almost feel bad for you"
"I'm sorry, but I must disagree with you on this one" he said "The male team clearly has the upper hand in this situation"
"How so?" I asked.
"Well we have Jasper—who is the best at planning" he started "And we also have the special talents, with my mind reading and Jasper's mood control we are sure to win this little thing"
"If I may remind you" I said while sitting up on the bed "We also have special talents. Alice can see what you'll be planning to do and I can block you from using you talent at all on us!"
"You wouldn't!" he accused and sat up too.
"Well you just said you would use your advantages" I said "What am I supposed to do? Sit back and let you?"
"Well, no" he said "But you don't have to go and rub it on my face…" he looked down.
I laughed and grabbed his hand.
"We are supposed to use this time to be together before this thing starts and we are wasting it by arguing" I said "We'll figure the rest out once we get there, but if I'm correct we only have a few hours left to ourselves and I for one will like to spend it doing something different than just sitting here and babble for hours" I hinted and apparently he got it, otherwise that glint in his eyes would look a little different.
"I agree" he said.
We were sitting in the bed—fully clothed—facing each other. Well, that was until we said that last little part of the conversation.
He pulled me close and started kissing me with such passion that I felt my body lighten on fire. Never mind the being cold as ice. And since I was just as eager to return the kiss in that same way, it didn't took us long before all of our clothes were ripped to shreds and forgotten on the end of the bed.
We continued… and continued… and continued until it was necessary that we stopped or we would've been caught in a compromising situation by our family. It was obvious that Edward was thinking the same thing as me. He sighed and kissed me one last time—very sweetly I may add and rolled off of me. He took my hand as we were both trying to even our breaths.
"Time to get ready and wake Renesmee" I said
He nodded and stood from the bed quickly making sure to put some pant on before he made his way towards the bedroom door.
What was I doing you may ask? Well I was simply enjoying the view. He turned to look at me and noticed what I was doing. He came back and leaned over me, giving me one last lingering kiss before all of this started he pulled back all too soon for my liking and said "You get ready and I'll get Renesmee ready for the day"
He left to take care of our daughter and I made my way to my insanely big closet. Since I didn't know exactly what we were going to be doing today I opted for a pair of blue jeans and a white sleeveless shirt, it would have to do.
I put my hair in a ponytail and slipped on a pair of red ballet flats. I had to admit that even if my outfits continued to be on my standards of comfortable, they were something more stylish than before.
I made my way to Renesmee's bedroom to help Edward, only to find him leaving her room with her in his arms. I just had to smile at the scene before me.
Remesmee saw his daddy smiling and turned her head to see at what, she smiled and said "Momma!"
"Good morning my little angel" I cooed and went to kiss her on the cheek she then reached and put her hand on my cheek and used her special talent to tell me what was on her mind.
Momma I am so excited to start the game! This is going to be really fun. You will be with me right?
"Yes sweetie" I said "You, your aunts, your grandmother and me are going to be on a team. And daddy, your uncles, your granddad and Jacob will be on the other team"
She nodded and grinned, it was good to see that she was as excited for this as the rest of the family.
We left our lovely cottage and made our way to the main house, where everybody was sitting waiting for us.
It was 6:58 AM and you could see everybody scooting close to their team members, not wanting to be an easy target to the opponents. It's not like we would do something right there and there, we still had to plan everything.
"Ready everyone?" I asked and I got a chorus of 'yeah' and other agreements with my simple enough question.
The clock started to edge to 7:00 AM and we all turned to our significant other, giving them one last kiss before this madness started.
The clock chimed the first bell and we all regrouped, leaving the couple status and placing ourselves with our team mates.
You could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air.
It was about to begin. When would it end? Who knows, surly when one team surrendered to the other and let me tell you something our team will not be the first one to give in.
The clock gave the seventh chime, its final chime. It was on.
"Dibs on the cottage!" I shouted and made a run for the door, with Renesmee my arms and the female members of our family hot on my heels.
"Hey!" I could hear Edward calling from inside the house "I was going to call the cottage for our team!"
"Too slow" I shouted back.
We were all laughing as we entered our little home in the woods. Truth to be told I wanted the cottage to be our base it gave us a place to plan and plot; I wanted it to belong to us. And since Edward was part 'owner' I needed to call dibs first.
"First thing first" Alice said "We need and name for this fabulous team of ours and I took the liberty to make these"
She started to pull pink t-shirts from a backpack she had been carrying that read in big silver sequins letters
Don't play games with
a girl that can play better.
"Alice this are perfect" Rosalie said.
"I'm glad you like them" Alice said "They would've looked better if I hadn't had such a short notice to have them made"
"They are really nice" Esme agreed.
We all took one and changed into them, Alice even made sure to make one smaller so that Renesmee could wear one too. They all had our names on the back of the shirt, also in the silver letter.
"OK girls" I said "Time to get serious. We need to figure this out and I don't want anything to be overlooked, I'm not giving Edward any loopholes here"
"Emmett was so smug the whole night!" Rosalie said "I can't wait to make our first move, wipe that smirk of his face"
"What about Jasper and Carlisle?" I asked.
"Carlisle is planning on having some fun with the family" Esme said "But he's there to make sure they behave, just as I am here. But don't worry I trust my girls" she winked.
"Jasper thinks we would be easy to beat" Alice scoffed "I kept having visions of him deciding on what way he should ease the blow for me once they win"
"You had visions of them winning?" Rosalie all but screamed at her
"Well that was before the dog got involved" Alice said "I had different visions, all depended on what moves we made—any of the teams could've won. But Jacob signed in and now I don't get anything clear"
"That another thing, if Jake is part of their team we can't rely on your visions to tell us what they are doing" I said. This was going to seriously damage the game plan I had created. I had planned to use Alice's and my gifts to help us win this thing.
"Don't worry as long as they do things together I'll stay get thing from the rest of them" then she pondered "However, if they decide to have Jacob do something on their own then that leaves us blind"
"We'll worry about that latter" I said "Let's figure out our first move"
Jasper's POV
Once the girls left the house we all made our way to Carlisle's study. It would be our base during this war. I was more than eager to this game to start; it would give me a chance to apply all my warfare skills.
As soon as we all walked in, Emmett was ready to give us his first idea "OK let's fill some balloons with the mud from last night storm" he started "We will go and bombard the girls with them and they will get all dirty and gooey!"
He was already making his way back out the door and possibly having his plan put into action.
"Emmett that will not work" I said "They would see it coming; Alice probably already had a vision. We have to make our moves more smartly"
"Jasper's right" Edward backed me up "We have to make sure they don't win because of Alice's visions"
"So what if they have a fortune teller on their side" Jacob said.
I turned to glare at him; I was not going to let him talk about Alice that way. He just shrugged.
"What I meant is that we still have the mind reader and your mood controlling thingy" he explained.
"Actually I won't be able to read their minds, not unless Bella is not with them at the moment" Edward said.
"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked
"Bella and I got somewhat carried away last night discussing who would win this" he told us "It was very silly but she said that if I tried to pick their brains to find out what they would be doing to us, she would shield them from me."
"Bella said that to you?" Emmett asked with a shocked face and then busted out laughing "Well, well, well. It looks like Edikkins here is not the one who wears the pants in the relationship"
"Oh and you are one to talk" Edward defended himself "Every time Rosalie wants something you all but give in to her, even if it's not what you want!"
This was going to be more difficult than what I had anticipated. The girls haven't even made a move on us and we are already loosing—that is if we continue to fight between us.
I had to stop it so I spread a calming feeling around the room and everybody settled down at once.
"I need to get some equipment from my closet" I said
"Whoa there!" Emmett said "We don't want to see what you have in there. Only God knows what you and Alice do with that stuff"
"Emmett will you please get you head out of the gutter" Edward complained "He wants to get some bags and paper to draw out our plans"
I just shook my head at Emmett and made my way to my room and made a bee line to my closet. I took what I needed and as I turned around I was surprised to see a box on the bed.
I carefully edged closer, I didn't know if someone from the girls' team had planted something in there. There was a note on the top with my name on it.
I took it and ran to the farthest wall from the bed, no harm in being cautious. I opened the folded piece of paper and recognized the handwriting at once—Alice.
Just a little something for your team.
I hope you like them; expect to see us wearing something similar.
I love you –Alice
I had no idea what she was talking about. I just took the box and ran to the guys.
"What's in the box?" Jacob asked.
"Alice left it for us" I explained "But I don't know what it is"
I reluctantly opened the box and found a bunch of blue fabric on it—t-shirts for the team. I had an amazing wife.
They were all a deep blue with white bold across the chest:
Men are not pieces of meat.
They are pieces of meat with feelings.
We all laughed and rolled our eyes at the script, but took one and put them on. It turned out each of the t-shirts had our name on the back, with the same white bold letter.
"I have the perfect plan" Jacob said out of the blue and we all turned to look at him.
Let me tell you that I recognized the look on his eyes at once—we were so going to win.
A/N: doing Jasper's POV was weird but fun, hope you liked it.
Leave a review and Alice will give you a pink t-shirt! You know you want one!
