A/N: As promised, one chapter everyday. If I can't post a chapter that day, I'll post two the next day, and so on. Hands down dedicated to pEaCeLoVeEdWaRd1901. I did spell that right, right? Yay, I did!
P.S.- I'm getting kinda tired of writing 'A/N:' so anything in bold from now on is an Author's Note!

One "Celebrate" and "Eye of the Tiger" later, Edward was announcing who the winner was.
"The winner is… Emmett?" Wow. Wasn't expecting that.
It's weird, you'd think Rosalie would be an amazing singer and Emmett, well, you'd expect that if he were going to pursue a career in music it'd be more screamo band, but Emmett actually won.
True, he still wasn't the best singer, but clearly he was better than Rosalie.
I feel bad for Le Meu (short for Le Meu Le Purr- last song- "Celebrate"- has a link on my profile! I do '!' s a lot….) . Poor Aaron (lead singer), no offense, but Rosalie should never go on American Idol, unless she has some secret obsession with Simon and harsh criticism.
Let's just say if this was Singstar, you know, the first one that came out, Rosalie would be "Tone Deaf" and Emmett would be a "Wannabe".
"Don't worry, Rosie Posie, you don't have to make brownies until after we're all done," Emmett said before beginning his and Rosalie's make out session… uhh….
"So, Jazzy," Alice began. I think I already know what she's going to say, there's only one thing she could want. "If I win… you come on a shopping spree with me without any complaints! And, yes, we're going to hit every store in the mall that's worth my time!" Alice shouted. Of course she'd pick shopping.
"That's fine, Ali, but if I win… no shopping for a month! Well, I guess you could, but not with me! Yes!" Jasper is a smart person to say no shopping. Very smart indeed, but now, of course, he's forcing Alice's shopping sprees upon me and Rose, maybe Emmett and possibly Edward, but most likely just me and Rosalie. Curse Jasper.
"Oh. My. Gawd! I totally wanna sing 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' by Cindy What's-Her-Face!" Alice exclaimed.
"Lauper?" Jasper asked. I'm starting to think he knows everything, what with his 4.0 and pop culture smarts.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ready? Hit the button, Eddie!" Alice chirped. Of course, forgetting Edward despises the name 'Eddie', so he crossed his arms and turned his head, refusing. I swear he's pickier than a girl, it's just a name.
"Ugh, seriously, Edward? It's just a name, she forgot, jeez! Fine, I'll do it myself," I sighed.
"When the work and day is done,
Oh girls just wanna have fu-un,
Oh girls just wanna have fun!"
Alice sang her heart out, choosing to sing with Cindy Lauper as opposed to by herself, which was probably a smart move, considering she always sings an octave higher than the song- and in this song, that's pretty high!
When she was done, Jasper chose "I Miss You" by Blink 182 (my all-time favorite band!).
"Hello there,
The angel from my nightmare,
The shadow in the background of the morgue,
The unsuspecting victim
Of the darkness in the valley,
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want.
Where you can always find me.
We'll have Halloween on Christmas,
And in the night we'll wish this never ends,
Wish this never ends.
"Where are you?
And I am so sorry,
I cannot sleep,
I cannot dream tonight,
I need somebody and
Always this sick, strange darkness
Comes creeping on,
So haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders,
Catching them and eating their insides,
Like indecision to call you,
And hear your voice of treason,
Won't you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight.
"Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
(Miss You, Miss You)
"Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
(Miss You, Miss You)
"Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
(Miss You, Miss You)
"Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
(Miss You, Miss You)
"Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
(Miss You, Miss You)
"Don't waste your time on me,
You're already the voice inside my head
(Miss You, Miss You)
"(Miss You, Miss You)
"(Miss You, Miss You)
"(Miss You, Miss You)"
(Sorry, couldn't resist some Blink 182, anyways, that should be up on my profile soon!!!)
Well, you have to admit Jasper has good taste in music and can sing very well. Naturally, he won- Alice is such a good singer, it's just that the microphone couldn't pick up her voice, heck, only dogs could pick up her voice!
"Yeah! No shopping for a month! Sweet! This calls for a victory dance!" he then proceeded to wiggle his arms (like the wave) and hum the Magic Mountain theme song (We like to potty, we like, we like to potty. Tee hee…) .
"I know exactly what song I want, but first the bet. How 'bout… I got it! If I win… you have to stop being such a player, settle down, and find a girlfriend. No more one-night stands, though, apparently you're still miraculously a virgin… Who woulda thought?" I said.
"Fine, I'll agree to that. But, if I win… you have to help me with Drake for the rest of the six months!" he suggested.
"Deal," I agreed.
"Deal," he agreed.
"Eddie," I smirked, "can you start the The Foo Fighters' "The Pretender," please?"
"Of course! Man, that song rocks!" he didn't even hesitate.
The last thing I heard before the music was Alice mumbling, "Oh, sure, anything for Bella no matter what, but not for your adorable sister…."
"Keep you in the dark,
You know they all
Pretend
"Keep you in the dark,
And so it all
Began
"Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in…
Again
"The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready,
Are you ready?
"I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole…
Defense
"Spinning infinity
Boy, the wheel is spinning me,
It's never-ending,
Never ending,
Same old story
"What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one
Of your plays?
You're the pretender,
What if I say I will never surrender?
"What if I say I'm not like the others?

"In time our soul untold
I'm just another soul for sale…
Oh, well
"The page is out of print,
We are not permanent
We're temporary,

"I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear,
I'm the face you have to face
Mirrored in your stare,
I'm what's left,
I'm what's right,
I'm the enemy,
I'm the hand that will take you down,
Bring you to your knees
"So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?

"Great job, but I'll still win. I know the perfect song. Bella," uh-oh, he's smiling deviously, deviously smiling is never good! "Do you happen to like The Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony?'"
"NO WAY! I LOOOVVE THAT SONG!!!" I yelled. Pretty loud, I might add. "How did you know that's my favorite song?" I asked Edward.
"I heard you talk about it in your sleep once. Uh, I mean, uh… lucky guess? Sorry-kkk- we're-kkkkkkk- I can't hear- kkkkk- we're breaking up-kkkkk-sorry, wha-kkkk!" Edward stuttered.
"Dude, we're not on the phone!" Emmett pointed out.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious," I muttered.
"Cool! I'm a superhero? Can I have Batman's super powers?" Emmett asked.
"Uh, Emmett, Batman doesn't have any powers, just handy gadgets," Jasper sounded like he was explaining to a kid how Santa Claus doesn't exist for the first time.
"What?!? Ruin my dreams why don't you?!?!" Emmett screeched.
"Besides, what if you're not the superhero? What if you're the bad guy?" Rose asked. "Sorry, couldn't help but quote from my favorite movie, it's called Twilight, about this girl named Bella Swan-" hey that's my name! "- who falls in love with a vampire named Edward Cullen.-" hey that's Edward's name! Are the FBI spying on us again? And I thought Alice was just kidding! "-It's very-"
"Guys? Can I play the song now?" Edward interrupted.
"Hello, guys, gals, nice to see you're actually using that old karaoke," Esme, Carlisle, and Drake came in.
"Auntie Bewah!" Drake exclaimed, throwing his arms in the air, almost hitting Carlisle.
"Hey, guys? How does Drake know my name?" I asked as he came running onto my lap.
"Sshhh! It's about to start!" Edward hissed.
And sure enough, 5... 4... 3... 2...
"Cause it's a bittersweet symphony
That's li-ife.
"Trying to make ends meet,
You're a slave to money then
You di-ie

Road I've ever been down

Ten pages, that's the longest I've written yet! OK, so most of it is songs, but you wanted longer chapters! So, what did Edward mean 'I heard you talk about it in your sleep?' Why is Batman Emmett's favorite 'super' hero? Is the FBI actually spying on the Cullens and made a movie about them? Why does Drake know Bella's name? Find out next time on… The Parenting Project! (sounds the same way as Jeff Probst when he says 'Next time on… Survivor!' JSYK…) All songs should be on profile ASAP. Bye bye! =D
P.S.- now it's eleven pages on Microsoft Works!
