Let the Games Begin

Chapter Nine

Quil's POV

This was getting ridiculous. Every time I tried to sneak up on someone to tag, they'd smell me (at this rate, I bet they could smell me a mile away) way before I even got a good hundred feet from them.

"You know what?!?! I'm not playing this game anymore, its no fun!" I crossed my arms and pouted. I know, childish, but hey! I've been it for a good—I glanced at my watch—okay, only twenty minutes, but still! I didn't even come close to tagging someone!

"Awww spoil sport!" Emmett ruffled my hair when everyone came out of their hiding spots.

"Am not!" I growled at him. I tried frantically smoothing my hair back while glaring at him. I spend three hours combing it to perfection this morning!

"You spend three hours combing your hair? Jeez, and I thought I didn't have a life..." Jared coughed the last part.

Did I just say that out loud?

"Yes you did." I glared at Edward, who raised his hands up in mock surrender. Damn mind reading...

"ANYWAY," Bella changed the subject, "lets play Duck Duck Goose!" she clapped. I had to admit she looked pretty adorable, considering I was a good foot and a half taller then her.

Alice's POV

"OKAY!" I clapped along with her.

Now that's more like it! I knew all this quality time with Bella would eventually rub off on her! I wonder if she'll actually willingly come shopping with me...oh the possibilities!

Before I could dwell in what the future could be for Bella's possible new perspective in life, Jared spoke up.

"So who's gonna be it first?"

"I wanna! I wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaa!" Bella was waving her arm frantically in the air like a lunatic. [I do that all the time to get the teacher's attention ;)

"Okay, okay Bella honey, I love you and all, but," Edward grabbed onto her arm to keep it from flailing around till the point where it actually comes off, "you gotta stop." He said the last part exasperated. I don't know if it was intended to be funny but I laughed anyway. It doesn't sound all that funny, but it's probably one of those 'you had to be there' moments.

We started filing into a large circle—since we were fast runners so it wouldn't be as challenging if we were at such a close distance to each other—and the Quileute boys turned into their wolf-selves because they 'roll like that'. Don't ask, that's just what Embry phrased it, even though it was pretty obvious that they run faster when transformed.

"You guy's ready yet?" Bella whined like a little girl, clearly impatient, as she tapped her foot with her arms crossed across her chest.

"Yes." We replied. Well the wolves just barked since they couldn't exactly talk at the moment.

"Okay!" she brightened up as she came up to us and decided to start off with Emmett first as she gently tapped him on the head.

"Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck..." and it went on, and on, and on, and on, and on.

I decided to check my watch, so I raised my arm at eye level and glanced to see it's been four hours.

...FOUR HOURS?!??! HOLY CRAPPING CUSS-CRACKERS!

Patience Alice, I tried to calm myself down, patience is the key.

"...duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck..." oh who the hell am I kidding? I could've gotten a whole knew wardrobe during this time!

"...duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck-"

"WILL YOU JUST FUCKING PICK SOMEONE AND SAY GOOSE ALREADY! HOLY FUCKSHIT!" I yelled. Naw, I'm joking. I wish. Everyone was shocked when we all turned our heads in Edward's direction. Thought he'd be the least likely person to say something like that to Bella, of all people, right? Apparently not, because now Bella's bottom lip was trembling as tears started to form in her eyes.

"I...I...I can't believe you!" Bella started balling her eyes out, and I think it just suddenly dawned on Edward that it was him that said that. Probably because his eyes got wide, like someone just gave him a purple-nurple and the pain just suddenly came to him, and then he started going down on his hands and knees.

"Oh my god Bella! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it, it...it just came out! You know when-oh what the hell? I don't even know what the hell I'm saying! God, Bella! I'm so sorry!" and he continued babbling his apologies until Bella decided to talk through her heavy sobs.

"You..you..I can't –sob- believe...you..." –BAM- "GOOSE!" and Bella pounded Edward right over the head and was up and running around us, and back in Edward's spot in half a second flat, not even giving Edward time to realized what just happened with that dumbfounded expression on his face.

We were all laughing as The Edward Cullen, finally gained knowledge of what had just happened; tricked by his own girlfriend. Or fiancé now.

Even I didn't see that one coming.

I think I'm losing my funny MOJO thing...I don't really find that as funny as I thought when I imagined the scene. Or maybe I just don't know how to write it out like in my head...hm...

Well ANYWAY, credit for this chapter goes to EDWARDSGIRL13 for the Duck Duck Goose idea :) I'm going to try and make the next chapter funnier, I have this idea that I thought was pretty damn hilarious, BUT I don't know which game to do next. Or how to put it into the story. Or where the scene should be. So basically I'm screwed. SO if anyone wants to help, msg me and I'll PM and paste the part to you (I'm going to just type it up now) or something like that. ALL IDEAS ARE WELCOME!

So I better get going on planning the next chapter :P and sorry for not updating as often anymore, I'm still having trouble thinking about how to word the chapters to my other story AND I'm a lazy person. SORRY! I just get distracted so easily, I'm a computer addict, not to mention a fanfic addict so I kinda spend a lot of my time reading, if not, then I'm probably on MSN or out LOL. Okay, back to the point, SORRY SORRY SORRY! Just need some help with the brainstorming, so if you haven't noticed, I usually update faster when people give me suggestions :D –hinthint-

Aiit, imma go now, c ya!
