Fun Times in Phoenix

Alice POV-

They smiled and Rose pulled out a video, "Bella and the Pole."

If Bella could look any sicker I would say that she would be at this very moment, "Please can we not watch that?"

Jasper grinned, "Feeling a little embarrassed are we?" I never knew my husband could look so evil.

"No. I just do not want to watch it." She said. I did not need my powers to know that this was going to be embarrassing for her.

Jasper grinned even more, just like the Grinch when he stole the Whoos Christmas stuff from their town of Whoville, "Put it in."

She was doomed.

Bella looked to be about nine years old. It looked like they were in some cold area.

"Come on can't we go snowboarding now?" Bella asked

"No not until you lick the pole." Nicole said sternly.

"But I don't wanna lick the pole!" Bella cried

"Come on Bella you have to lick it." Stacy said, "Prove to the people back home that your tongue will stick to the pole if it is cold enough is a myth!"

"Care to explain love?" Edward asked.

Bella had her head buried in his shirt and she said in a muffled voice, "We went snowboarding at Shawnee Ski Resort in Pennsylvania. Stacy had family there and they got free passes for the winter and they invited me and Nicole to come and spend Christmas with them. Renee thought it was fine so I went. We saw 'A Christmas Story' and when Flick was dared to lick the pole his tongue got stuck. I had said it was a myth but Nicole and Stacy did not believe me," She took an unnecessary breath, "Well once we were ready to go snowboarding it was cold out and well…"

She pointed to the TV and we continued to watch.

"No I am not doing it!" Bella yelled

"I dare you to!" Nicole challenged

Stacy gasped.

"No." Bella said

By this point all the kids gathered around them to see what was going on.

"Are you chicken?" Nicole mocked

"No I just refuse to do it."

"I double dog dare you."

The kids gasped and one said, "This is serious. A double-dog-dare," Bella still shook her head.

"Fine then you leave me no choice," Nicole said grimly, "I triple dog dare you to."

There was an errie gasp and one kid said, "The coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare."

Bella's eyes widened as one kid said, "You have to do it. This is the mother of all dares."

Bella gulped and looked at the camera and back at Nicole, who wore a triumphant smile. Gulping again she stick her tongue out and placed it on the pole and said, "See." Then she tried to get it off, "Hey!"

She pulled and pulled, "Help! Help!" Then she started to cry and shout.

"Oh my god what do we do?" Nicole shouted panicking

"Run!" Stacy shouted

"Come back! Come back!" Bella shouted.

We were all laughing hysterically. Bella on the other hand was looking miffed, "They had to have the police and fire department come and get me off."

This made us laugh even harder. Edward could not even control himself until Bella wacked him on the head in a Rose like fashion and said, "You are so not getting any for a week."

Edward looked like a wounded puppy/Emmett, "Aw Bells."

"Wow Bella you are finally learning." Rose complimented.

"Hey I have known you all for how long now? I was bound to pick up a thing or two." She winked. Rose looked like a proud sister.
