I'm just going to apologize in advance for ever posting a chapter really late. I can't write along a.n as I am going out this very second. So enojoy!


Previously:

I was worried about how the people at my new school would act. If they ignored me and left me alone, I would be fine. I didn't want to be noticed, in the good or the bad way. I was pretty sure I'd just blend in, eventually, I usually did. I didn't relate well to people.

Invisibility was all I could ask for.

Christmas holidays were approaching and with them the Winter Musical. The school was engulfed in Christmas cheer. They had all started dressing in only red, green, white, silver or gold. Some girls (and Ryan) had taken to adorning their hair with tinsel.

The only thing they would talk or sing about was their anxiety for the musical. People would burst into song because of nerves or eagerness. Their dance moves were suffering; their movements were becoming jerky and unsteady.

The Cullens were sickened and amused at the same time.

The day of the musical, it seemed that every person (save the Cullens) had stopped functioning. They didn't dance, sing or talk. It was like a ghost school. It was a little frightening.

Rosalie had demanded that the entire family go to the musical as she had worked very hard and would not let it go to waste.

On the drive home from school, (T-minus 6 hours to go) Rosalie was flipping through a magazine in the backseat while Emmett and Jasper were arguing over who was going to win the wrestling match they planned for later. Alice, who was sitting in the front seat, refused to give them any hint as to who would win and Edward, who was driving, wasn't allowed for pain of a broken piano, courtesy of Alice.

"Now, what fun would it be if I told you who won? There would be no point to wrestling then," she was saying, turned around in her seat to face Emmett and Jasper. Suddenly, she went rigid. Emmett and Jasper stopped arguing to stop and watch.

Alice came back down to earth and turned to Rosalie with a shocked and awed look on her face. Rosalie gave her a small smirk and went back to her magazine. Alice turned around without saying a word, wearing the same expression. Though Edward knew what was going on, he didn't let on, as he had known what was coming for months.

Emmett and Jasper went back to their argument. Jasper would find out what Alice had seen later and Emmett wasn't really concerned.

When they arrived home, Emmett and Jasper went right at it. It didn't take long for Jasper to manipulate Emmett into feeling unsure of himself and then pin him down. Emmett was in an awful mood for the rest of the evening.

Now that Emmett and Jasper had wrestled, the only game to play was the waiting game.

Rosalie had to leave 2 hours early to help out with getting the stage ready and to fit in an extra run through of the musical. The rest of her family, particularly Edward, Alice and Jasper (who had been let on about what was happening), waited on pins and needles for 7:30 to roll around. When it arrived, Carlisle, Esme and Emmett drove the Mercedes to the school while Edward, Alice and Jasper took the Volvo.

They drove to the school in silence. When Edward pulled into a parking spot, he sat for a minute.

"Rosalie is my hero," he said. Alice beamed in excitement and jumped out of the car.

Alice made them all sit dangerously close to the front. Emmett complained loudly enough for people to turn and look when she suggested the front row, so she chose seats in the third row to placate him.

The auditorium was elaborately decorated. The walls were draped with blood red fabric on which tinsel and flimsy paper snowflakes were hung. The curtains of the stage were covered in what appeared to be spray on snow. The chairs in the auditorium had green and red twinkle lights strung across their backs. There were even ushers dressed as elves directing people to their seats with giant green and red glow sticks.

It was pretty ridiculous.

After about fifteen minutes, the lights dimmed and the drama teacher walked onto the stage.

"Welcome to the East High Winter Musical!" she cried, "Please turn off all cell phones and save any foil wrapped snacks for later." She then exited the stage and went to sit in the little chair in front of the stage. She waved her hand to cue the music.

The musical was, well, a musical. Obnoxious costumes, boisterous songs and interpretive dance.

The Cullens endured in silence as they watched their poor Rosalie jump around in red and green garments and sing songs that would come back to haunt her. Edward made a mental note never to forget the words to "I am the Queen of Snow".

It seemed like the time would never come for Sharpay's moment to shine. She twittered around nervously backstage in her giant snowflake costume. It didn't matter that she was Snowflake # 2. She would steal the show, even from Rosalie Hale.

"Snowflakes, to your positions!" the stage director, her brother Ryan, cried. Sharpay was standing in her position, ready to sing her lungs out. She passes Rosalie on her way onto the stage. Rosalie smiled gleefully at her.

"Don't be blue Sharpay, you'll be great!" she whispered in encouragement. Sharpay was confused at her words. Why would Rosalie be speaking pleasantly to her? Surely, she was being sarcastic. She looked back at Rosalie. She was still smiling at her, with what appeared to be sincerity.

Sharpay smiled smugly. She supposed that Rosalie had finally given up trying to beat her. Unconsciously, she touched her nose and winced at the tenderness of it. She better have given up. It had been a real bother for Sharpay, waiting until her nose healed to get it fixed. It was the biggest disappointment, having to sing in the musical looking imperfect.

Backstage, Rosalie was getting changed into her street clothes. She had just finished her finale and the smaller, less important characters got their own finale to make them feel better about their inferiority.

Once changed, she stood by the curtain to get a good look at the mischief she had put into motion. She glanced up at the ceiling, to the high hanging walkway which was directly above the stage. Standing on this walkway, was a boy with a rope in his hands and a ridiculously large amount of money in his pocket. Attached to the rope, hanging above the dancing snowflakes, trees and woodland creatures, was a very large bucket of a strange mixture of blue dye and a small amount of industrial glue.

The boy held tightly to the rope. He had been anonymously offered a huge amount of money to pull the rope. It didn't matter if he was caught. He'd still have to money, suspension or no suspension. He also got to give Sharpay Evans what she deserves. Popular and pretty as she was…she was a real butt head.

He listened for the signal. Soon he heard it, a skip in the music. He waited for it to get back on track. When it did, he waited 3 Mississippi's…

And he let go of the rope, dumping the dye and glue right onto Sharpay, who, in her attempt to steal the show, had just ripped off her snowflake costume to reveal a tiny, white dress. The blue dye covered her hair, dress and various bits of skin that hadn't been umbrella-ed by her large head.

Sharpay was standing there in shock, covered in blue. Her dress, her night, her hair were ruined.

"AHHHHHH-RGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she shrieked. She went to run off the stage, but slipped and went head first into the large puddle of blue around her. She got up and meant to stomp dramatically off, but slipped again and landed on her back. In this position she stayed, until people rushed to her aid.

The audience, who had been stunned into silence, erupted into the mad laugher you only see in the movies.

The Cullens were clutching their sides with violent laughter. Even Carlisle and Esme let out a few chuckles. Emmett was on his knees, causing a scene with his loud, booming laughs.

"MY MUSICAL IS RUINED! WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID THIS IT WILL NOT BE LOVELY!" the drama teacher screamed, "YOU MAY ALL LEAVE! THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE!"

The audience starting filing out, still laughing a little. Outside the auditorium, Rosalie met up with her family, who enveloped her in a large group hug.

"We're very proud of you dear." Esme commended.

"About the play, not the Carrie reference." Carlisle added. Rosalie beamed.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said innocently.

"Good job Rose." Emmett said, pulling her into a bone crushing hug, "That was one of the best moments of my life. Who knew I was rubbing off on you?" Rosalie rolled her eyes.

"Thanks everybody." She said. Edward and Alice exchanged a look and once outside, burst into song.

"I am the queen of snow, snow, snow," they sang, "Bow down to me and watch me blow, blow, blow."

The Christmas holidays passed without incident and much too soon, it was time to return to school, or in Bella's case, start it.

As the Cullens were piling into the Volvo for school, Alice had a vision.

"There's a new girl at school," she said, "She doesn't like to sing." Her siblings shrugged it off. At least they could be sure there were sane humans somewhere in the world. "She isn't orange either," she added.
