Author's Note: I'M ALIIIIIIIIVE!!! I'm soooo sorry I haven't updated this sooner. I'm not surprised if you thought me all dead o0 But I'm not, so here's another chapter. Hope you enjoy!
And if any of the Cullens show fear at any point, it's because they're excellent actors, and they do it for Bella's benefit.
Midnight Horror
"LEAVE! NOW!" Alice bellowed at the Cullens guys, who were currently trying to convince the girls to play a game a twister. Who knew vamps took exile so hard?
At Alice's shrieking though, they decided now would be a good time to leave after all. When they started backing up towards the door, Alice beamed at them and handed them a twenty dollar bill for a movie, then promptly shut the door with them outside.
For a moment, the girls just stared at the door. Then Esme said, "Well, I have some errands to do. Sorry girls. I'll see you around though, ok?"
"All right, see you Esme!" Bella said. Rosalie and Alice voiced they're own farewells.
Again, they stared at the door closed. They were all alone. By themselves. No guys. No adults (unless you counted Alice and Rosalie's many years). No Esme.
"WAHOO!" Alice squealed. "Now we can party!" She cranked up the boom box in the corner of the room to some loud rock music. The three girls began dancing, whirling around the room in crazy circles that made no sense to anyone but them.
After a CD's worth of music, Bella collapsed on the couch, proclaiming she could dance no more.
Alice turned down the music, and then she and Rosalie plopped down beside Bella.
"Well, that was fun," Bella panted, a little red faced.
Alice nodded. "You know, later we really should do some karaoke. That would be wicked awesome!"
Rosalie cheered.
"I dunno," Bella mused. "Would anyone be here but us?"
Alice shook her head. "I noticed you danced without protest too, Bella." She grinned at Bella, who returned the smile.
They collapsed into silence. The music in the background sang "I know there's something out there. I think I hear it move. I've never felt like this before-"
And then everything went black. No, Bella did not randomly faint. The lights were off, the music had halted, and the clocks blank.
A crack of thunder boomed in the room. They had failed to notice the approaching storm.
Bella stared in wide eyes around her. "Did the power get knocked out?" She whispered.
Alice nodded, "Must have."
Eerie silence.
Then a scratching at the window. Bella whimpered.
"What is it?" She said, too quietly for a non vampire to hear.
"I don't know," Alice whispered back.
Lighting suddenly illuminated the sky, silhouetting a pale figure of someone clawing outside at the window.
"IEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Bella, Alice, and Rosalie's screams penetrated the darkness.
Meanwhile, at the movie theater
"Finally," Carlisle sighed. "I thought the previews would go on forever!"
Emmett jabbed Jasper suddenly with his elbow. Jasper looked at him confusedly, but then interpreted his glance. Oh. Time to put Emmett's prank into action. He sighed.
"Hey," Jasper said tiredly, "My cell phone is vibrating. I'm gonna go answer it. Be right back."
He slipped gracefully between the rows and headed out into the night, running towards his families house. As he ran, he smeared black paint over his face. The paint had actually been one of the things on the scavenger hunt. Most of the items had been pranking supplies.
Emmett owned him big time for this.
Back at the house
Alice, Bella and Rosalie crept from the kitchen into the front hall. The figure outside the window had disappeared, but would surely come back, this time to a door. Alice was sure of this, though she hadn't had a vision.
They had armed themselves in the kitchen with weapons. Rosalie and Alice had cooking pots and Bella gripped a frying pan so hard her knuckles turned white. She kept repeating to herself that nothing could go wrong with Rosalie and Alice around. Just in case, she slipped a carving fork into her other hand, which Rosalie and Alice either didn't see, or didn't comment.
The lighting outside persisted in its constant flashing, building up the tenseness of the situation.
Then they heard something on the stairs. It was inside.
How did he get in here without us knowing?! Bella thought, fearing to voice her question out loud.
And evil sounding chuckle came from the point they heard the creaking. Then it rushed down the stairs before them, crying out a dreadful war cry.
But they were ready for it.
To Bella's eyes, all see could see were the white eyes and a dark form. The face was too dark to see any features.
It grabbed for Bella, but Bella swung her frying pan, which collided with its skull, just as Alice cried out, "WAIT-"
Their attacker fell limply to the floor.
"I killed it. OH MY GOSH, I KILLED SOMEONE! I'll go to jail for this!!! I don't want to go to jail!" Bella said eyes wide. She dropped the frying pan.
Suddenly the figure leapt up. Bella used the blunt end of her carving fork to knock him to the floor again.
"I KILLED HIM AGAIN!!!" Bella wailed.
Alice broke in, voice stone cold. "Jasper, get up. Now."
With what sounded suspiciously like a whimper, Jasper complied.
He looked to the hard faces of the three girls and winced. Then he took in Bella's carving fork.
Jasper blinked. "Wow. Bella, you hit hard."
Bella nodded, face hard, though inwardly rejoicing her apparent freedom from jail, since Jasper couldn't be hurt that way.
But he could be hurt the way Rosalie stepped up and yanked him forward by his collar. "WHO SENT YOU!!!!????!" She roared.
Jasper cringed. "I can't say!" He cried.
"I said, 'WHO SENT YOU," Rosalie repeated.
"I told you! I can't say!"
"Hey Jasper," Bella said, her voice not showing any of her earlier fear, instead sounding quite pleasant. "Want to sit in the make-up chair?"
"IT WAS EMMETT!" Jasper yelled and broke away from Rosalie.
"So Emmett told you to scratch at the window, and then sneak into the house? He's loosing his touch," Alice scoffed.
"Yeah, well...," Jasper paused, eyes widening suddenly. "Ummm… I didn't scratch at any windows."
Dead silence followed this announcement.
"You're. Freaking. Joking." Bella said.
"Wish I was," Jasper whispered.
At that precise moment, the door burst open and once again, framed by lighting, stood the pale figure.
At the theater
"I've seen this movie before," Edward yawned.
"How can you?" Carlisle said, kind of snarky-ish. "It's a brand new movie!"
"Meh," Edward agreed. "But it's a remake."
"You're impossible," Carlisle groaned. "It is not! It's completely redone!"
"Same characters," Edward said, as if that explained it at. Suddenly his head snapped to look at Emmett. "Why do you keep looking at your watch? Got a date or something?"
Emmett shook his head vigorously and tried not to look at his watch, hoping they wouldn't realize they same thing he had.
"Hey wait a minute," Edward said, picking up on his mind vibes, "Where's Jasper. It doesn't take that long to answer a phone call."
"Ummm… must be… Miss Carlotta!" Emmett said suddenly.
"Uh… who?" Edward left eyebrow rose an inch.
"Yeah, Miss Carlotta!" Emmett repeated, an idea forming. "He's settling his singing contract with her. You know how hard those things are to work out."
"Jasper's getting a singing contract?" Carlisle asked, nonplussed. "I never knew."
"Heheh," Emmett laughed nervously. "Who knew? I better go check and make sure everything is all right. You guys stay here. If I'm not back in ten minutes. Do not leave the theater."
"Umm… aren't you supposed to tell us that we're supposed to call for help then?" Edward asked.
"DON'T LEAVE THE THEATER!" Emmett yelled, the tension clearly getting to him a bit.
He paused before taking off down the aisle. "Here, read this if you get bored, Edward." Emmett reached under the seat and pulled out a Harry Potter book and handed it to Edward before darting out.
At the house
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The screams echoed around the house at the Cullens greeted none other then….
THE PIZZA MAN!!!
"AHHHHH- oh. Hi." They broke off upon seeing the familiar red uniform. The pizza guy, to his credit, had only broken into a sweat, and had not run screaming away at such a greeting.
"…," The pizza man, stared on with wide eyes. "I… forgot… your dessert pizza…!"
"Whee! I love dessert pizza!" Boomed a voice right behind the Pizza man. He fainted.
"Guess I should have announced my presence better," Emmett said regretfully. Emmett took the dessert pizza from the guy's limp grip and hauled the pizza man into a standing position.
Emmett shook him lightly. He woke up fast. "Huh? Where am I?"
"You fainted, Dude," Emmett said casually, as if Pizza Men fainted around him everyday.
"No way!" The pizza man protested, going into defensive mode instantly. "I do not faint!"
"Pffft," Rosalie, Alice, and Bella snorted at once.
"A, that's really creepy how you three do that a once," Jasper said, "And B, why are you 'pffft-ing' the fainting guy?"
The 'fainting guy' started to protest, but Bella interrupted with a roll of her eyes. "It's the 'tough guy act'."
"Mhm," Alice agreed. "So annoying."
"So last never," Rosalie nodded, with a flip of her hair.
The guys present looked on, kind of startled by this show of resentment.
"Ummm…," the Pizza guy said, not quite sure what to say.
Everyone stared at him. Tense moment… you could cut the air with a knife.
"BOO!"
Screams filled the air once more (FYI, the Pizza Man screamed the shrillest; Emmett was close though. Heheh).
The lights flicked on.
"Hee hee. I say, I haven't had such fun in ages," Carlisle chuckled, a bemused Edward at his side.
Bella's eye twitched dangerously.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Emmett roared, making the Pizza guy look even more scared. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE THE THEATER!!"
"But the movie was bored us," Edward explained.
Emmett's voice sounded dangerously hysterical as he said, "Then why didn't you read the bloody book?!"
Edward blinked and said simply, "There was only one copy. Carlisle was bored too."
Emmett twitched.
"Plus we were kinda suspicious," Edward said. He surveyed the area with interest.

You do the math
"I see my suspicions were correct," Edward said, coolly as ever.
Bella dropped her carving fork, nearly stabbing the Pizza Man's foot.
"I'm out of here," The Pizza Man said and ran for it.
"But… I was going to give you a tip!" Alice called after him. "Ah well." She shrugged.
"Now what?" Emmett asked.
Everyone turned angry eyes upon him.
Emmett gulped. "Um…mercy? Please? Uhhh…. HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLP!!"
His plea was answered an instant later by the sound of chewing, followed by another blackout.
Then the sound of chuckling and a few chorus's sung by helium voices of the Kim Possible theme song floated through the house.
Author's Note: Hope you enjoyed! Next chapter: Karoke!!! MWHAHAHAHAHA!!! That should be fun, yes?
Trivia question for the day: Can anyone name the song and/or the singer of the song that was played just before the power went out the first time?
Disclaimer : Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer, not me.
Kim Possible – Disney
Song before black out – Doesn't belong to me either –sob- I will credit in the next chapter though, cause I want you to guess at it :D
