Author's Note: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Nice to see you again so soon. Well… not really see... because… well, you know. Anyway!

If you guessed that last chapter's mystery song was Scared by Three Days Grace; YOU ARE CORRECT!! Congrats:)

As I said in the last chapter, this one's karaoke. And you thought the last chapter was scary. BWHAHAHAHAAAAA! Hope you don't mind all the song space in it. Some of the songs I 're-vamped' (mwhahaha; love that pun) and some are left along. So skim, skip or whatever. :D

So…. None of the songs I used are mine. Mostly oldies and… other stuff. I think I'm going to do a two part karaoke chapter, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to send them in, but please do not be offended if I don't use your idea. I like using songs I'm familiar with.

And I understand a certain part of this story (you'll know it when you read it) is a bit OOC for Edward, but he was pressured to do it by the other guys.

Please note no offense was intended to any of the characters of Twilight and if anyone finds it offensive, please let me know.

Lastly, thank you everyone who has reviewed this fic and doubly thanks to those who keep coming back and reviewing. You know who you are XD I could nae do it without ye.

Chapter 10 – Karaoke Time

Run in Terror, Bella, Run

"Well," Bella sighed. "Glad that's over."

The other girls nodded. The last excitement of the evening had taken a while to clean up. The power had to be restarted. Bella's saucepan had to be un-dented. Edward had to be sent to stalk the pizza guy to make sure he didn't think they were out of ordinary in any way except for being armed with kitchen utensils. And finally, the girls had had to make Carlisle and Emmett beat it. It wasn't easy, but they had finally managed, shipping the boys off to another movie, this time one they couldn't protest.

The girls were already places bets on how long it would be before they turned up again, but, hey, it was worth a try anyway.

"So," Bella continued, "What's next on the agenda, ay?"

"Karaoke," Alice said firmly. "Definitely karaoke. You wriggled your way out of somehow before, Bella, but now your destiny is inescapable."

Humored by the melodrama, Bella turned to share a look with Rosalie, only to be horrified when she found Rosalie staring at her with the same serious expression.

Bella sighed in defeat. "Fine. I can see it's unavoidable."

"WhaHOOO!" Alice shrieked. "This is going to be SOOO much FUN! I'm going to get the Karaoke machine. Rosalie, you feed Bella. You know what I want to feed her. The stuff we talked about before."

She and Rosalie exchanged another serious look, making Bella quake.

"Um…. What food guys?" Bella tried to ask, but was pulled away by Rosalie to the kitchen.

"Here," Rosalie said, stopping in front of a kitchen pantry. "It's all yours. Alice got it for you; she was so excited for tonight. She said it would keep you awake."

Now very intrigued, Bella slowly and suspensefully opened the door. Her jaw dropped in horror and glee.

It was a child's (or anyones!!!!!) dream. Candy, cookies, chocolate, cakes, cotton candy, chocolate, sugar and more CHOCOLATE!!!

The glee won out over horror and Bella leaped in the air.

"Wow, even the sugar fumes help you wake up," Rosalie remarked, thoroughly impressed.

When Bella continued to stand there in wonderment as any other mortal would do, Rosalie prodded her in with a long suffering sigh and locked the door after Bella. Rosalie strode off to go find Alice.

With Alice

"Aha!" Alice exclaimed jubilantly. "I knew I had this some where. The songs on it are a bit dated though… oldies and Disney classics? Ah well, can't be helped. Should be fun anyhow."

She hauled the machine into the room with the large television and proceed to begin plugging in the cables and turning on the machine. Sometime during this process, Rosalie wandered in.

"Oh, hey, Rosalie," Alice greeted absently, shoving a cord into a hole and hoping it was the right one. "Did you feed Bella?

"Uh huh," Rosalie said, plunking down on a sofa. "I locked her in The Room."

With a gasp, Alice straightened. "You didn't."

"I did," Rosalie said, somewhat indignantly.

In a flash Alice disappeared to the closet, where she found Bella eating some cotton candy in a surprisingly serene way.

"Hey Alice," Bella greeted. "Ready for Karaoke?"

Alice nodded, watching Bella suspiciously. What if she had built up immunity to sugar? Then again, she was sounding almost excited about karaoke…

"Ok," Alice began, once they assembled in the living room (which had the rug removed to improve slipperyness). "Let's get started!" She hit the play button on one song and she and Rosalie began to sing.

"I come home in the morning light,
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls just want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun!"

Bella stared hesitantly. Was Alice serious? Wasn't this a kind of cliché song?

"The phone rings in the middle of the night," Alice and Rosalie continued.
"My father yells what you gonna do with your life!
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one."

Alice elbowed Bella and Bella burst out,

"But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have— "

Rosalie nodded approvingly and broke in with Alice:


"That's all they really want:"
Bella: "Some fun!"

Just as they were about to head into the next chorus, the machine suddenly went dead silent.

"Dumb machine," Alice growled. "I thought it would work better than that. Rosalie, can you see if you can fix it? I would rather not do a run into town. I don't even know if the electronic store is open this late."

"Sure," Rosalie said and bent to fix it. Then Alice and Bella saw Rosalie lift her head a bit, gaze fixed behind the TV at something. Her expression turned confused as she said, "Emmett? What are you doing there?"

"What! Where's Emmett?" Alice asked. A blur behind the TV disappeared down a vent.

Suddenly Jasper was beside them, a pained look on his face as he escorted them to the couch and pointed for them to sit down. They did so, with glares, curious to see what would happen.

Then Jasper stood in the center of the room and Carlisle, looking nervous, stepped up to join him.

Then, Carlisle still nervous, Jasper even more pained looking, started the song Emmett had set it to, and the two vampires began to sing… or chant.

"Bah, buh buh buh. Buh buh, buh buh, bah. Bah, buh buh buh bah."

Now Emmett walked out between the two and began to sing.

" I'm sleeping

And right in the middle of a good dream
Then all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread ...
"I think I love you!"

The girls watched with narrowed eyes as Jasper and Carlisle joined the chorus.

"This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I don't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And did not go and shout it
When you walked into the room ...

Then the weirdest thing happened.

Edward Anthony Mason Cullen came sliding in the room on his knees with a microphone held close to his mouth, singing:

"I think I love you!"

His slide ended perfectly in front of Bella. He leapt up dramatically and continued:


 "I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
So it worries me to say
I've never felt this way

Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say
Hey, go away, I will"

Bella frowned at the sincere-ness he sang this with.


"But I think better still
I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?"

Edward grinned at Bella and if vampires could blush, he would be now.


 "I think I love you!

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (I think I love you!)
Edward: "So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you!
Isn't that what life is made of?
So it worries me to say
Do you think you love me
Do you think you love me
Do you think you love me?"

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've go so much to think about
Hey! I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
So it worries me to say
I've never felt this way

Edward: I think I love you!

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (I know i love you)
Edward: So what am I so afraid of?

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (So afraid)
Edward: I'm afraid that I'm not sure of

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (I'm not sure)
Edward: A love there is no cure for

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (There's no cure)
Edward: I think I love you

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (I know i love you)
Edward: Isn't that what life is made of?

Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper: (But im not sure yeah)
Edward: Though it worries me to say

Emmett: Ooooh Weee Oooh

Jasper: : glare at Emmett :
I've never felt this way

I think I love you! X10

Dead silence followed the ending of the song. Well, except for Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle's polite applause.

At the moment, the three girl's faces were completely blank with shock.

Then Rosalie's mouth curved into an amused smile and Alice looked torn between being miffed at the interruption and overjoyed with her brother's act.

Joy won and she leapt up. "Oh, Edward! That was wonderful!"

Edward ducked his head, embarrassed and carefully checked Bella's expression. Bella was blushing, but looking pleased with his performance. Edward smiled.

Before anything could be said though, Emmett whacked the karaoke remote a couple times and turned on a new song.

"My turn!" He boomed. "Who's up for the YMCA, revamped style?"

Surprisingly, Bella leaped up. Edward, having enough karaoke for now, sank in her spot.

Alice also joined Emmett, as did Rosalie and Carlisle. Need I say that Jasper had already taken a seat, despite Emmett's pleading glance.

"'Kay everyone," Emmett cheered, "1, ah 1, ah 1 2 3!"

Emmett: "Young vamp, there's no need to feel down.

I said young vamp, pick yourself off the ground

I said young vamp, 'cause you're in a new town"

Rosalie, Alice, Bella, Carlisle: "There's no need to be un-hap-py!"

Emmett: "Young Vamp, there's a place you can go

I said young vamp, when you're short on your dough,

You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find

Many ways to have-"

Rosalie, Alice, Bella, Carlisle: "A good time!"

Emmett: It's fun to stay at F O R K S

All: It's fun to stay at the F O R K S!

They have everything for young vamp to enjoy

You can hang out with all the undead!

Carlisle: Young vamp, are you listening to me

I said young vamp, what do you want to be?

I said young vamp, you can make real veggie dreams

But you've got to know that one thing:"

Alice: "No vamp can eat a human self,

I said young vamp, put your thrist on the shelf

And just go there, to the F O R K S

I'm sure Carlisle can help you today"


Emmett: It's fun to stay at the F O R K S

All: It's fun to stay at the F O R K S!

They have everything for young vamp to enjoy

You can hang out with all the undead!

Rosalie: "Young vamp, I was once in your shoes

I said: I was down and out with the blues

I felt no one cared if I was alive or undead,

Though I wanted to reform, I knew in my head!"

Bella: "That's when someone came up to me

And said young vamp, take a walk up the state,

There's a place there called the FORKS

They can start you back on your way!"

ALL: It's fun to stay at the FORKS

You can get yourself sparkly

You can have a good(veggitartian) meal

You can do whatever you feel (Carlisle: Except hunt humans!)

Bella sank onto the couch panting. The other vampires laughed, energized. Alice had even forgotten to care about the boys butting in.

Esme entered then and took in the scene in a minute. With a smile, she pulled up Carlisle from his seated postion. Carlisle looked at her questioningly until she clicked on a song.

Together they sang the duet:


"The beat goes on
The beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La di da di de
La di da di da

Charleston was once a rage, uh-huh
History has turned a page,uh-huh
The mini skirts the current thing,uh-huh
Teeny bopper is our new born king,uh-huh

Chorus

the grocery store the super mart,uh-huh
little girls will break their hearts,uh-huh
and men still keep on marching off to war
electrically they keep a baseball score

Chorus

Grandmas sit in jail and reminesce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
Cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still call hey buddy, have you got a dime"

Chorus

"WHooooooo!" Cheers rang out as they finished. "Go ESME! Go CARLISE!!"

Esme grinned and Carlisle looked embarrassed. Honestly. Guys.

"Who's up now?" Carlisle asked.

"Dunno," Emmett mused. "Let's do a blind vote."

"Why a blind vote?" Alice asked.

Emmett shrugged. "Sounds like fun to me."

Everyone gave a small sign of approval.

"I'll tally the votes!" Emmett grinned.

"No," Edward said calmly, "I think someone more trustworthy should do it. Jasper?"

"Whatever," He agreed. "Heads down everyone."

All heads went down, though Emmett was grumbling indignantly about being called untrustful.

Jasper reeled off everyone's name and counted the votes. When everyone lifted their heads, he announced who had been chosen.

"And the winner (or loser, depending on your standing on singing) is," Jasper paused suspensefully. "Bella Swan!"

Bella went very pale, while Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Esme grinned suspiciously. Gee, I wonder who voted for her.

Bella also noticed this and mouthed, "I'll get you back for this" at them. She must have looked angry for the recipients of her glare looked frightened indeed.

Bella scrolled through the list of songs on the player, before deciding on one. "Umm…. I'm going, as Emmett said earlier, 'revamp' a song. Is that ok?"

"Of course, Bella," Edward said with his crooked smile.

Bella smiled nervously, blushed, and began:

"In Washington there is a doctor showing photographs
Of ev'ry head he's had the pleasure to know.
And all the patients that come and go
Stop and say 'Hello'."

Carlisle grinned at Bella. She took a deep breath and continued.

In La Push there is a boy who loves to fix a car,
He loves to drive his car to Forks and back.
Yet a car roof he seem to lack,
In the pouring rain - very strange.


Washington is in my ears and in my eyes,
There beneath the cloudy grey skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
In Washington there is a golden retriever incarnate,
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.

Bella shrugged at the Cullen's inquisitive looks. It was hard finding a word to replace queen so quickly! And who knows…. Maybe Mike was British.


He likes to keep his father's store very clean,
It's a clean machine.


Washington is in my ears and in my eyes,
A bunch of fish and many recipes,


In summer meanwhile back
In the school in the outskirts of the town,
The happy girl has so much to say.
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.


In Washington, the Doctor cures another customer,
We see the dog boy sitting waiting for a check
And then the car fanatic rushes in
From the pouring rain - very strange.
Forks is in my ears and in my eyes,
There beneath the grey suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile
Forks is in my and in my eyes,
There beneath the grey suburban skies...
Washington!

"Wow, Bella!" Alice leapt up. "That was cool!"

"Why was Jacob in your song?" Edward asked suspiciously.

"Some of that didn't make sense at all," Emmett mused.

Bella gave him a look. "You do better."

"Fine!" Emmett exclaimed. "I will!"

With a semi-snotty look at Bella, he began:

"Way beyond the ocean beach
A little down the state
The forest and the lawn and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine!"

Esme raised her eyebrow, while the other gazed on with similar expressions of their disbelief.

"I'm gonna be the ruler
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super-awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

"I'm going to be a coven's king
And rule from Volterra!
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little mind control.

"I'm gonna be the undead event
Better than Aro was before!
I'm brushing up on looking down.
I'm working on my roar!

RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR! "

Bella clapped her hands over her ears.


"The fauna and the flora are gonna swing
Oh, I just can't wait to be the vampire king!

With a pointed look at his family he sang the next verse.


No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here

Carlisle:leaping up: NOW SEE HERE!


Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way

Piano Solo

FYI, Edward rocks the classic Disney

During the Piano solo, Carlisle proceeds to chase Emmett around the room, Emmett goading him with many faces as he sings again:

"No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here

Carlisle: ::last attempt:: NOW SEE HERE!!


Free to run around all day
Free to do it my way

The time has come
As Caius said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to overthrowing kings

It's easy to be royal
If you're already onion skinned
It isn't just my right
Even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Emmett beamed. "Top THAT, people!"

"Oh I'll try," a cold voice said, causing everyone to gasp and turn in their seats.

There, framed in the doorway, was none other than…

…..
