Chapter 10

I laughed and pulled Bella onto my lap as the talk turned to other things besides getting Helen to dye Aro of the Volturi's hair purple.

"Oh Bella I think you would look so horrible in purple," Alice said loudly so Helen would hear.

"I think that too, Alice," Bella said a little softer than Alice but with the same intentions. "But who would look nice in purple?"

"Hmm. Not Carlisle. None of the ghosts. Or the family. What about the Volturi?" little Alice piped up happily.

"Maybe, Alice," little Edward said pitching in.

"No what would be great?" Alice said happily she thought she was really getting the idea into Helen's head.

"You know you could just ask me to dye someone's hair purple and stop with the ridiculous hinting," Helen said as she looked up from her book.

"Aro," Alice said excitedly.

"Fine. I'll do your dirty work," Helen said with a groan.

"I like to think of it as evil biding," Alice said proudly.

Helen left the room muttering, "Of course you do."

Bella laughed, "All that hinting for nothing!"

I smiled and sighed. "Bella would you like to go to our meadow?"

"No," Alice snapped before Bella could even open her mouth.

"Why not?" Bella demanded.

"Because you will miss all the fun!" Alice said before dancing away.

"I'm going to play the piano with Alice," little Edward said and walked out. Little Alice smiled and skipped off after her brother.

Bella and I followed. We sat down on the couch and started to relax.

"Oh, Aro, I was wondering if you wanted to hear about being a ghost," I heard Helen from upstairs. Bella giggled and chuckled.

"How long do you think it'll take?" she asked quietly.

"Not long," I replied.

Alice skipped in. She jumped on Jasper's lap and started to kiss him. Moments later Carlisle and Esme walked in. Both wore looks of sheer rage.

"What did I tell the family in the dining room?" Carlisle demanded. He didn't raise his voice but he still sounded deadly.

"Oh, Alice, cut that out! I know you can hear us!" Esme said to Alice who was pretending that they didn't exist so she could get on with her plan to get rid of the Volturi.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't see you there," Alice said in her most innocent voice.

Carlisle sighed and said, "Alice if the Volturi take this the wrong way—"

"They won't," Alice said confidently.

Suddenly there were shouts from upstairs. We all jumped. Carlisle was very nervous now. We all looked up to the ceiling.

"That's it! We are leaving!" I heard Caius roar from upstairs.

"Now?" one of the guards asked.

"Yes now! Don't talk to anyone! Just leave!"

The next ten minutes were a flurry of movement. The Volturi were rushing around avoiding us. The doors were slamming. We heard a window smash but when Alice shouted, "You'll have to come back and fix that!" no one else broke anything after that.

There was a loud silence that rang through the house. There was a soft pitter-pattering and Helen came into the living room. Her hands covered in purple hair dye.

"Too much?" she asked smiling.

Emmett and Jasper started to roar with laughter. Soon everyone except for Carlisle and Esme had joined in.

I sighed with satisfaction and pulled Bella on to my lap. "Well that was fun!"

She laughed and nodded her head in agreement.

"If they come back," Carlisle began.

"They won't," Alice said flatly. "They'll avoid us for at least a century."

Esme shook her head. "I just wish you could have behaved," she said and chuckled softly.

Carlisle and Esme left to inspect the damage around the house. Alice and Jasper to their bedroom to… well do their thing. The twins went to get something to eat so Bella and I sat there in silence enjoying one and other.

"I think the rest of our existence might be a tad bit boringer after the past few days," Bella said smiling.

"As long as you're here I will never be bored. Just extremely happy," I said with a chuckle.

"I suppose when you live with people like Emmett and Henri Thomas life will never ever get boring," she mused quietly to herself. I laughed in agreement.

We both turned to watch the rainfall. I sighed in full contentment. I was looking forward to an existence without being bugged by the Volturi. To an existence with my love and family in peace, harmony and happiness. Well, as much as Emmett and Henri Thomas would allow us.

Well that is it. I hope that was enjoyable. Please review.

And tell me what you think of a Twilight Battlestar Galactica crossover. For now I'll mostly be writing fluff and other useless whatnot.

Thank you for reading.
