A/N: I feel bad for not updating, but I have no excuses. I just wasn't in a funny mood :( Anyway, this chapter's not my best work, but I felt the need to post something. Mama Esme punishes the delinquents! As always, I own nothing. If I did, I'd be famous.

Esme pulls into the driveway with all the delinquents piled into her car.

"We're home."

Bella "Great! Let's go!"

"No. You are staying here, young lady! In fact all of you are."

Bella "Really?"

"Yes."

Carlisle "Even me?"

"Yes."

Carlisle "Can't I make it up to you later?"

"No. And stop winking."

Carlisle "Hmph"

"Okay. Almost all of you are adults, and should be capable of making responsible decisions."

Jasper "You're making it sound as if we can't."

"Responsible discussions don't land you in jail."

Jasper "Right."

"Okay. Now, I've been thinking about punishments… and I think I've found something."

Emmett "Please not like last time. Please not like last time"

"It's been almost a year since the house has been redecorated, and I think it's time for a change."

Bella "What does this have to do with us?"

"You all are going to redecorate it for me."

Jake "What?"

"You are going to carry all the furniture out, clean everything, repaint, reinstall flooring, bring in new furniture and basically anything else that I want you to do."

Emmett "NOOOOO!"

Seth "Not cleaning!"

Jake "What the hell?"

Jasper "No way am I painting"

Bella "The house looks perfecting fine"

Nessie "But I'm just a kid!"

Leah "You're not my mother!"

"Shut the hell up!"

-All is quiet.-

"Good. You're cleaning whether you like it or not."

Bella "Can I at least wear my sexy french maid costume?"

"Why do you have a sexy french maid costume?"

Bella "Edward likes it. Reminds him of his youth. Besides, I've seen your naughty nurse costumes…You are not allowed to comment."

"You may not wear the costume. This is serious business!"

Emmett "Awww…Mum. Lighten up."

"I would be a lot happier if I hadn't had to bail half the family out of jail."

Carlisle "It wasn't that big a deal. Emmett and Jasper get put in jail about every five years."

"But two twenty year old men is a lot less conspicuous then two teenage girls, one girl who looks 10, one 25 year old man, and more teenage boys than I can count."

Bella "Still."

"They got punished too. No x-box, no sex and no books for a week"

Emmett "It was cruel. Cruel and unusual punishment is unlawful, you know."

"Since when have we followed the laws?"

Emmett "Good point."

"All of the 'good' children may go hunt. The rest of you are staying here and redecorating."

Emmett "Can I paint my room neon orange?"

"No. Get to work."

Emmett "What about lime green?"

"If you do, you've got Rose to deal with."

Emmett "Oh right…"

"Now WORK!"

They all file into the house, where there are cleaning supplies, paint cans and brushes waiting for them
