Kiss the Girl

Thursday, November 4... Emmett POV

"Go, go, go! C'mon, you can do it! Faster! Faster! NO!" The screen went black. Who in this world is sick enough to make the TV screen go black at a time like this! Well, actually I can think of few… but that's a different story.

"There are more important things going on in the world right now than baseball." Of course. The over-caffeinated pixie I call sister.

"Alice! Why would do that? We were about to win!" I spun around on the couch and gave her my best mad face. Her annoyed face was better, though.

"Do you think I care? We have a more pressing issue to deal with."

"And what, dare I ask, would that be?" With Alice, this was sometimes a frightening question to ask.

"Edward and Bella's love life," she said simply.

I fell back onto the couch and threw my hands over my face. "Oh for the love God!"

"I'm serious! Have you seen the way Edward looks at her? That boy is so in love." She started pacing. Pacing! I thought people only did that on TV.

"Well duh! Everyone knows that."

She stopped in her tracks and pointed at me. "Everyone but Bella." Then she started pacing again.

I sighed. "I suppose that's why you have interrupted the game."

"You are exactly right."

I reached to the coffee table for the remote, thinking I could maybe get the game back on while she's pacing and tapping her lip - a nervous habit of hers. The pacing, not the lip tapping. The lip tapping is new.

"Drop it!" Shoot.

"Ugh! Would you just leave them alone. They can figure out their issues on their own."

She threw her hands up in the air, never a good sign. "No! They obviously are not capable of showing their feelings. Especially with Bella's current predicament. And if it works, think of the great speech I could give at their wedding!"

"You would give a speech at their wedding even if they told you not to."

"That's beside the point." If she keeps this up there will be a rut in the floor. Esme would not be happy.

"Okay… What if-"

"That's it. I'm coming up blank. I'll call Rosalie. She'll think of with something." She flipped her phone out and marched to the stairs, dialing Rose's number.

"But how about we-"

"Shh! I'm thinking!"

I rolled my eyes and turned the TV back on.

Later…

Half an hour later, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice and I sat in the sparkly pink room of my beloved sister, conjuring up ways to bring the two stubborn love birds together. It was really a lot of fun. Yup. I laid on the floor tossing a fluffy pink pillow in the air. Rosalie's feet rested on my stomach while she laid back on the edge of the bed. Jasper leaned against the chair, yet another pink item of furniture. And Alice sat cross-legged in the middle of the room, her face all scrunched up in deep concentration. She also looked like she was holding in gas.

"Come on, guys. We need something creative, something they won't see coming. We all know what will happen if they catch on too early; they will just pull away and bring us five steps back." Alice has said that at least seven times already and it has gotten us absolutely nowhere.

I decided to just throw something out there. "Let's just think here. What is a common theme in their lives right now?" They all looked at me like they were shocked I was even paying attention. "Anyone? No? Okay, well, at the moment music seems to occur a lot."

Jasper rolled his eyes. "Emmett, they are in a band. Music is a always a common theme."

"Then it will work perfectly. We should be able to easily reach them through song."

Rosalie sat up and looked down at me. "But how are we going to come up with a song that says it just right thing in a short amount of time?" She asked. "That's Bella's talent, not ours."

"We are just going to have to find one that's already been written, then," Alice decided.

Well, shoot. Now we are back where we started.

Jasper sighed. "What's wrong with locking them in a room together and not letting them out until they have declared their undying love for each other?"

"That," Rosalie said and pointed at Jasper, "is a wonderful idea. Much easier. Let's do it."

"Wait!" I yelled, glad I could come up with something quick so that boring and cliché route does not become a reality. "I have an idea."

Friday, November 5...

There's nothing quite like watching popcorn kernels explode in the microwave. If we had more popcorn in the house it could easily become one of my favorite pastimes. That and watching Edward squirm while executing a well planned and thought out scheme that revolves around him. However, this one's not as well planned and thought out as others, we are winging a lot of it. It's nothing like that one thing we did to him freshman year that took nearly five months to sort out and quick thinking to avoid the police and possible death row when-

"Do I smell popcorn?" Edward asked as the front door slammed shut.

Let the games begin.

I ran out of the kitchen and into the foyer. "Surprise! We are bringing guys' movie night back!" I threw my arms in the air to make it seem more exciting.

Jasper looked behind him at us from the couch he was sitting on. "Hey," he said to Edward. He ruined the excitement.

Edward's brow raised, looking mildly shocked. I was hoping for excessively shocked then a lot of enthusiasm, but this will do. We used to have a guys' movie night every Friday until we started performing most Fridays. So this was the perfect, unpredictable, initiated motivator we were looking for.

"Okay, sure. What movie are we watching?"

"It's a surpriiiise!" I answered in a singsong voice.

"Why do I feel like there are going to be a lot of surprises today?"

Later…

After we had a nutritious dinner of pizza and waffle fries, we gathered in the living room to let the festivities of guys night commence. I stood in front of the other two who were on the couch, ready to present to them the movie that will hopefully forever change our lives for the better by making Edward a less depressing person.

"Now that we have our snacks to enhance our movie watching enjoyment, it is time to announce the movie of choice for tonight's guys' movie night!" Wow. There was an excessive amount of the word 'movie' in that sentence.

"I don't remember this being quite so dramatic in the past," Edward said.

"It's the first movie night in a long time. It has to be dramatic," I replied.

"Right."

"Anyways… I have chosen, for our masculine movie enjoyment-"

"You sure are stressing the guy's night aspect," Edward interrupted.

"Shh! I have chosen… The Little Mermaid!" I exclaimed, trying to look as excited as I could. It doesn't matter that this is an attempt to improve the life of my brother. I'm not still not thrilled about sitting through a Disney princess movie. And by the looks of it, neither is Edward.

His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He almost looked a little panicky, like watching this just might kill him. "Hey, um, I think it's Jasper's turn to pick the movie," he said, trying to sound cool and calm. Like he even remembers who chose the last movie.

I groaned. "Fine. Jasper, pick a movie."

I gave him a pointed look. "I, uh…" His eyes glanced at the movie cabinet for a beat. I glared at him. Don't you be thinking you can get out of this; Alice will kill me. "The Little Mermaid."

Edward groaned and threw his head back. I nodded approvingly at Jasper who rolled his eyes. Then I turned and put the movie in and pressed play. I flopped down on the coach between them and put my feet up on the ottoman.

"Let's get this party started!"

Edward groaned again. It's for your own good, buddy.

Earlier today… Edward POV

I almost did it. It nearly happened this time. I actually got in the car, pulled out of the garage and turned onto the street this time. But I just couldn't bring myself to stop at her driveway, my foot wouldn't move off the pedal and the car kept right on rolling. I stopped at the other end of street and just sat there, feeling like an idiot. I looked behind me out the back window and saw the roof top of Bella's house. I can do this. Just start the car and turn around, walk up to her front door and- my hand fell from the keys in the ignition. I can't.

"Ugh!" I leaned my head against the headrest and rubbed my eyes with my fists.

Stop being such coward, Edward!

But what if she says no? What if she doesn't feel the same? What if I scare her? What if I have no chance now because of Jacob? What if she gets mad? What if I ruin the relationship we have had since we were four?

What if. Those words can kill a man.

I sighed and turned the key then pulled away from the curb, heading out of the neighborhood streets. I turned on Debussy, hoping it would distract me from my most recent failure. That of course didn't work when Claire de Lune came on, Bella's favorite song. I pictured her sitting in the passenger seat beside me. Her feet tapping the beat up on the dashboard, eyes closed in delight. The light from the sunset making her face glow a beautiful gold and bringing out the red streaks in her hair. Her lips forming a pretty smile on her pretty face. I was so lost in thoughts of her, I nearly missed our hidden driveway.

I pulled into the garage and cut the engine, but not all the way, just enough to keep the radio on. I listened to Debussy a little longer. I pressed the back button to start Claire de Lune over, I wanted to spend a little more time with my gold-skinned, foot tapping Bella.

God, I'm pathetic.

Sighing, I turned the car all the way off, Debussy disappearing along with my gold-skinned Bella. I got out and slammed the door shut. I could sense the impending Emmett related chaos before I even entered the house.

"Do I smell popcorn?"

Emmett ran out from the kitchen with a look of extreme excitement that scared me just a bit. His arms shot above his head and he yelled, "Surprise! We are bringing guys' movie night back!" Crap, I was right. There is defiantly Emmett-chaos waiting to ensue and release all of its energy capable of annihilation.

Jasper turned his head around to look at me from his seat on the couch. "Hey." Emmett scowled at him.

My eyebrows raised at this sudden and unexpected proclamation. But hey, why not? I shrugged and answered, "Okay, sure. What movie are we watching?"

"It's a surprise!" Uh-oh, that answer is never good with Emmett.

I turned to Jasper. "Why do I feel like there are going to be a lot of surprises today?"

Later…

About forty-five minutes later, Jasper and I were on the couch watching Emmett declare, quite theatrically, what we will be watching.

"Now that we have our snacks to enhance our movie watching enjoyment, it is time to announce the movie of choice for tonight's guys' movie night!" I'm pretty sure his face if going to explode out of this wild excitement. He never got this excited with past movie nights, there must be something going on.

"I don't remember this being quite so dramatic in the past," I said.

He sighed. "It's the first movie night in a long time. It has to be dramatic."

"Right."

"Anyways… I have chosen, for our masculine movie enjoyment-"

"You sure are stressing the guys' night aspect," I interrupted. He shot me an annoyed look that made him look like one of those stress relievers that have the eyes that bulge out. It was one of his more entertaining facial expressions.

"Shh! I have chosen…" He added a dramatic pause. "The Little Mermaid!"

What now? Is he seriously choosing to watch The Little Mermaid? I thought it was guys' night. I'm pretty sure I looked like the stress reliever now. Okay, think quick, Edward. How are you getting out of this one? "Hey, um, I think it's Jasper's turn to pick out the movie." It's a long-shot, but maybe it will work.

Emmett groaned. "Fine. Jasper, pick a movie."

"I, uh…" Come on Jasper, don't bail on me now. He peered at the movies. Yes! Emmett glared at him. "The Little Mermaid." Shoot.

I groaned and tossed my head back onto the top of the couch. I felt the middle of couch sink in as Emmett threw himself between Jasper and I. He pressed play and rubbed his hands together. "Let's get this party started!"

Something must be going on. There is absolutely no way that Mr. Football Star-violent video games-all things manly are holy Emmett would willingly chose to watch a Disney princess movie on one of our free Friday nights. It basically goes against nature. So there is defiantly something more to this whole surprise movie night and even more surprising movie choice.

During the movie…

I'll admit it. This wasn't so bad. There were parts that still made me chuckle and smile. It also brought back some good childhood memories. Memories of sleepovers that lasted more than one night, being forced to be the prince while the girls were the princesses and secretly enjoying it, and when Disney movies were the coolest things in world. That was back when there were no complicated relationships or cheating boyfriends or feelings that scared the shit out you. It was so much easier back then.

We were at the part where Eric and Ariel were on their boat ride. It was Bella's favorite part of the movie, I'm pretty sure she still has the song on her iPod. I saw both Emmett and Jasper peer at me from the corners of their eyes as the boat went into the tree canopy. I didn't know why and it was kind of strange. They looked at me again when Sebastian started singing.

Percussion
Strings
Winds
Words

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl

I get where you're coming from here, Eric. But, come on, man up and kiss her! You have a limited amount of time, you are going to lose her. They looked at me again, longer this time.

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word

Until you kiss the girl

You almost had it, you could've done it, but you chickened out and know it's awkward. How is she going to want to kiss you now?

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl

Emmett shook his head. "Geez, that Eric really needs to grow some balls and just let his feelings out before he loses his chance with Ariel." He looked at me again. Does he ever- That's when it all clicked into place. There was a reason to this movie - more than the strange happenings in Emmett's mind. They were trying to get me to tell Bella that I love her. It's essentially manipulation, which I do not appreciate. I can't believe they would do this. I bet Alice put them up to it, that's got to be it. What if I don't want to right now? What if I want to wait for just the right moment? What if I'm just not ready?

What if they are right?

I know they are, I've just been denying it. I should tell her, I know it, before Jacob breaks her more. I do want to, desperately. There have been so many right moments and I have blown it, just like Eric did. I'm absolutely terrified by it, though. I sighed. But they are right. I have to tell Bella I love her before she turns back into a mermaid and I lose her forever. Before she moves on and I lose my chance of ever being with her. I have to do it.

You've got to kiss the girl
Why don't you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

I have to.

I ran my fingers through my hair, my heart suddenly pounding a mile a minute. "Hey, guys, I'm sorry, but I'm going to go to bed. I'm a little tired and I have a lot on my mind right now." I stood up but didn't move.

"No worries," Emmett said, looking suspiciously innocent. "Did you like the movie?"

"Um, yeah. I guess. So, have fun."

"You too, bro. You too."

I practically ran up the stairs to my room and slammed the door behind me.

Immediately after… EmPOV

Jasper and I fist bumped and finished watching the movie

Mission accomplished.


Song notes: Kiss the Girl is by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman

Told ya you'd be excited!

We're kinda slacking in our review department. I only have 7... All from the same person. (Love you bellacullen202!) I know for sure that there is more than one person reading this story. Where's the love? Don't make me be that person who waits to update until she has a certain amount of reviews, because I really don't want to be.

Anyhow…

Peace, love, and Twilight,

Katie
