Chapter Ten: Baking Cookies
I grabbed some of the silly string that had surrounded my body and pulled it off, grimacing when the substance stuck to my hands. I looked up to see Emmett clutching his sides with laughter, the two cans he had used on the floor. Bella ran in, fully clothed, with Carlisle soon behind. Their faces held pure shock at first, but in less than five seconds, they were both on the floor, laughing as well.
"Nice to see my family sticking up for me," I mumbled and stomped off into the kitchen to wash my sticky hands.
When I walked into the kitchen, Esme turned to greet me, her hands full of batter. I looked at her, confused. Why was she making food? We didn't need to eat anything.
"Hi Edward," she began, "I'm baking some cookies, would you like to join me?"
I looked down at my hands and she seemed to understand. She moved over so that I could reach the sink.
"Um, sure." I answered, turning to face her while running my hands under the water. "But why are you baking cookies? You can't tell me you're making an entire batch for Bella!"
She glanced down at the dough. "Well…" She said innocently, glancing back at me.
"Fine, I'll help. But if Bella gets sick from eating too many cookies, I swear I'll kill you." I tried to glare at her, but Esme's face was so soft and innocent I had trouble. Her face lit up instantly and she passed me a giant wooden spoon.
"Here, stir the batter in that bowl over there."
"Where'd you get such a huge spoon?" I asked, eyeing the spoon's humungous size. I swear it was the largest spoon I had ever seen.
"I have my sources." Esme replied, a wicked gleam in her eye. I raised my eyebrows and began stirring the batter. Bella walked into the kitchen and spotted me.
"Oh Edward! Is that batter I see? Can I help you bake?" Her cheeks were red with excitement. I motioned for her to come over, and I put her in front of me, so that my arms were wrapped around her. I put the giant spoon in her hands and put mine overtop, and began stirring the batter with her.
"This is fun!" She exclaimed, and began stirring faster. I grinned and kissed her head, enjoying myself. Who knew that baking with your sweetheart could be so much fun?
Esme came over to look at the batter. "It looks ready you two, you can stop stirring now." I reluctantly let go of Bella's hands and moved around her to bring the cookie tray over to the counter beside the bowl. Bella happily picked up a glob of dough, rolled it into a circle and placed it on the tray. Esme and I did the same and soon there were twenty-four little globs of batter on the tray. I smiled and picked up the tray, handing it to Bella so that she could put it in the oven.
Bella opened the oven and put the cookies in, and then set the dial. She turned to me and grinned widely. "All set, the cookies are baking in the oven!" she exclaimed triumphantly.
Suddenly there was a crash upstairs, and we all ran out of the kitchen to see what had happened. When we reached the foot of the stairs, we all stopped dead in our tracks. There was Emmett, at the top of the stairs, wearing a black bodysuit and a cape. He locked eyes with me and a huge grin spread across his face. He took a deep breath and began singing.
"Spooder man, spooder man,
Does whatever a spooder can,
Spoos a wall, to the moon,
Bakes his cookies, with a spoon,
Look out! There goes the spooder man!
In the chill of night,
At the scene of an oven,
Like a streak of light,
He arrives just for lovin!
Spooder man, spooder man,
Does whatever a spooder can,
Look out!
Whenever there's a spoo up,
When there's a great big spoo up,
You'll find the spooder maaaaaaaaaan!"
Bella, Esme and I all stared at him in shock. He started laughing and jumped to the bottom of the stairs, putting his hands on his hips and acting out a superhero pose. I put my head in my hands. What was this world coming to?
A/N Wellllllll? How'd you like it? It's not really funny unless you've seen the VMT, so for those of you who haven't, sorry, I just had to dedicate a chapter to them! YAY VMT!
