Hello my bunnies. How have you been? I am very sorry I haven't updated in a while. I am in Austria at the moment with my limited internet usage. Just like when I was in Scotland, except 100000000000000 degrees colder. There is 2 foot of snow. I sink. I hope you guys like this chapter, I did spend quite a lot of time doing it. Please don't get bored during the middle section. Give it a go!
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or Romeo and Juliet. I'm really not that good with words. Shakespeare is a legend.
You guys like long chapters, right? You'd better, because this is a biggy.
This is for Jenny, who is recovering now! I can't wait until you are back at school my bubi and I miss you tons. By the way, your team Edward shirt has arrived! lol

'Wow, Bella. I never thought I'd hear you asking to carry on with this game.' I said in amazement. 'But she's right you know Em.' He looked at me from staring at Rose's cleavage. 'Just get on with the game.' I continued. He smiled lazily and nodded carefully.
'Okay then.' His usual excitement gone from his voice. 'Who shall I chose?' He looked around the room into everybody's eyes. 'Bella.' She looked up. 'Bella, I chose you.' Her face was a picture.
'Erm… I think that I will have a dare, please Emmett.' She replied, looking very nervous.
'That's perfect Bells!' Emmett sang, tunelessly. 'Okay, listen up all of you, especially you Bella.' He looked at everyone for agreement, 'you and dear Eddie here,' he slapped Edward on the back. 'Are going to act out the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, fully dressed in the Shakespearian attire.' I had to laugh at that. Bella would get so embarrassed. Well, she already was embarrassed; her cheeks burned with red as Edward rubbed her back soothingly. 'I haven't even finished yet,' Emmett continued. 'You have to do it at the mall, in front of everyone; by the fountain.'
'Emmett…' Bella began to whine.
'Sorry Bells; you have to do it, it's the rules.' Emmett said and Bella looked towards Edward for some support, which she didn't get. She huffed.
'Come on guys. Let's get this over with then.' She said as she used Edward's knee to assist her in standing up.
'To the mall!' I shouted from the floor as everyone else stood up. I held out my hand to Jasper who pulled me up with a groan. What was actually wrong with him these days? He was getting exceptionally weak. Edward let out a laugh behind me as I though that to myself. Bella looked at him as if to ask who had thought what, but he didn't tell her, thankfully. I didn't fancy Jasper feeling all insecure and ending up in a foetal position in the corner in the room, wondering to himself if he is 'man' enough for me.
'Alice,' Jasper started. 'What were you thinking that made Edward laugh?' God, you would think he was a freaking detective or something.
'Who said it was me who was having the funny thoughts?' I asked casually, not meeting his eyes.
'Erm, because as soon as he laughed, you turned around and gave him that look that says 'don't spill it Cullen',' I raised an eyebrow at him in question, 'you know, the one you always give me when Emmett asks where the keys to your Porsche are.' Okay, fair enough – this man knew me too well.
'Yes Jasper it was me who made Edward laugh, but you don't need to know why.' I told him with a pat on the chest. He held my hand to his chest and wouldn't let me go.
'Please tell me Alice?' He pleaded.
'Fine. I was thinking how very sexy you are looking today.' Edward let out yet another laugh. Talk about cramping your style.
'I am aren't I?' Replied Jasper, dusting each shoulder in turn with his hand. I simply nodded and turned to Bella.
'Let's go, Girlfriend!' I yelled in her face and dragged her outside by her arm.
We all went in Emmett's jeep because we decided that it would be the best car to fit everybody in to. Emmett drove, Rosalie sat in the front seat (she had put clothes on), Jasper, Edward, Bella and I sat in the back all squidged up. I didn't like being squashed, so half way there I moved and sat on Jasper's lap, leaving him perilously close to Bella and her neck. But he was strong! He fought the urge to eat her. High five, Jazzy.
At the mall, Emmett and I practically dragged the reluctant Bella and Edward to the costume store. It was quite a small place, but I knew that we would get what we were looking for – I had a way of knowing these things. As we entered the store, a little bell tingled to announce our arrival and a youngish girl looked up from the counter; her eyes resting on Jasper. Great; another whore-head, just what I wanted.
'Hey there. My name is Jessie and I will be your help for today. May I ask what you are looking for?' She directed all of her attention towards Jasper, flicking her browny-auburny hair over her shoulder. I scowled at her but Jasper trod on my foot; very hard.
'Actually, I don't need anything. It's my friends here,' he motioned to Edward and Bella, 'that need your help.' She then focused her attention towards Edward, I was happy she took her eyes off of Jasper for a moment. Bella was now the one who was looking slightly disgusted at Jessie.
'So tell me how I can help you…erm?' She said.
'Edward.'
'So tell me how I can help you Edward.' She said with a flirty smile. But Emmett took over, seeing as it was his dare.
'Okay, what we need is two costumes that will portray that of Romeo and Juliet. Can you do that for me, sweet-cheeks? Emmett said as Rosalie huffed and folded her arms. Emmett turned to her and gave her a trusting look. He clearly badly wanted Bella to do this dare properly.
'Oh, Romeo and Juliet. That's interesting. What's that for may I ask?' She asked sweetly.
'No you may not ask.' Rose spat back at her. Jessie just raised an immaculate eyebrow and continued talking.
'I'll tell you that we do in fact have some beautiful Romeo and Juliet costumes. Would you like to see them?' She informed us turning towards Edward and Bella. Edward had his arm wrapped around Bella's waist.
'Erm…,' Bella started, but got a look from Emmett. 'Yes please.' She continued. We were lead through to a smaller room at the back of the shop. Jessie waltzed over to a cupboard in the corner and pulled out an old-fashioned dress and what looked awfully similar to a Peter Pan costume. (A/N: You will know what I mean if you have ever seen the Zeffirelli version, all the men are wearing tights) I let out a huge laugh at Bella and Edward which resulted in a death glare from Edward and a blushing from Bella.
'They look fantastic!' Emmett shouted happily upon seeing the costumes. 'Is it alright if Eddie and Bella put them on here? And how much are they to hire?' Emmett continued enthusiastically. Jessie looked quite taken aback at the sudden enthusiasm, but answered none the less.
'Erm, of course they can put them on here. We have to make sure it fits them after all. They will be $30 each to hire for the week.' She said matter-of-factly.
'Awesome!' Emmett said. 'I can use my pocket money that Carlisle gave me this morning!' It was very sweet that Carlisle didn't allow Em to have a credit card as he did with the rest of us; he only received $100 a month. He usually spent that on various things that he would never use; for example, sweets. His defence was that he wanted to act like a normal boy. It was hard to tell him that a normal boy in his late teens doesn't go out every month and spend $100 on candy. Rosalie broke that news to him.
Jessie took the two costumes off of their hangers and gave them to Edward and Bella. She then pointed over to the dressing rooms in the corner. Two minutes later, Edward emerged from behind the curtains, sporting lovely tights and a puffy top, in a nice murky yellow colour. To be perfectly honest this was a crime against fashion and I wanted to rip it off of him right away, but I couldn't, for obvious reasons.
'Dude! Let's fly away to Neverland!' Jasper laughed as Edward came over to us.
'Shut up.' He mumbled and stared at the curtains of the dressing room waiting for Bella to come out, as did everyone else, including Jessie. A couple of minutes of just staring later, Bella came out of the dressing room clad in a huge dress with very old, busy looking patterns on it. It was a disgusting maroon-y colour. I almost puked, even though I can't. Jasper and Emmett burst out laughing. Bella looked as if she was just about to cry.
'Look guys, I really don't want to do this, and you know that, especially you Jasper as you can feel my nausea above other things. So could you please just hold in the laughter until after or something?' Bella pleaded, her eyes fresh with tears. Jasper and Emmett stopped laughing, only for Edward to drop something on the floor and have to bend over in his tight tights, eliciting screams of laughter from everyone, including Bella from the sight of his ass.
'Dude!' Emmet yelled in between howls of laughter. He stood up and just ignored the laughter. When he looked at Bella she stopped her giggling and smiled sweetly at him.
'Come on you guys, it's getting a bit cramped in here.' Rose stated after a while at looking at the outfits.
'I agree!' I said. 'Let's get on with this dare!' Everyone else agreed and Emmett went to the front desk to pay Jessie; she was very nice in the end. Nothing like the whore-head that I thought she was. We bade her goodbye after Emmett paid and we left the shop.
'I think I'm going to try and get Carlisle to give me a raise.' Emmet randomly said as we walked towards the big fountain in the centre of the mall.
'Give it up. It's never gunna happen.' Jasper replied pessimistically. Emmett just stuck his tongue out at him and hit him round the head.
'For fucks sake, will people please stop hitting me?!' Jasper exclaimed.
'Language, young man.' I scolded him. 'And people will stop hitting you once you stop provoking them.' He huffed in response.
We received a few odd looks from various passer bys, not that it was unexpected seeing as we had two people dressed as if they had just come out of the Globe Theatre. Bella just kept her head down the whole time, making sure she didn't trip over the long dress, embarrassing herself further. This was a classic idea from Emmett, we have never had a human playing with us before, therefore have never had any dare that was going to severely redden anyone's cheeks.
As we reached the fountain Emmett pulled out two copies of Romeo and Juliet. Bella shook her head at them. 'I don't need that Em.' She said. 'I know the death scene of by heart. So does Edward.'
'Okay. That should make this easier for you.' He replied with a smile.
'Come on Edward.' She said as she tugged on his arm. 'Let's get this show on the road.'
'Everybody come and watch this!' Emmett yelled at the people waling past. I saw Lauren, Jessica and Angela, along with Ben, Eric, Mike and Tyler. Along with them was the new girl in Forks, Amber. She had long dark brown hair, around the same length as Rose's, she was a junior too. They all turned and stared at Emmett as he said this. 'We've got a show for you to watch!' He announced and pointed at Bella and Edward. The crowd of people began to rise as Bella and Edward parted from us into the middle of an open space. Spectators stood on the side of the water fountain, because they couldn't see. I had to get on Jasper's back for a good view.
'Come on Bella!' I yelled. 'Let's get this started!' Bella took a big breath in and gulped. The redness in her cheeks was glowing. She then began.
Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love.
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Being something she loved, Bella was actually surprisingly confident. Edward then spoke up.
Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Jessica began to bat her eyes at Edward until Bella continued.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague. It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O be some other name!
What's in a name? By which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo doff thy name,
And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
Edward then stepped out from behind a group of people and looked into Bella's eyes. Her cheeks had grown a lot redder since she had started.
I take thee at thy word:
Call me but love, and I'll be new baptis'd;
Henceforth I will never be Romeo.
The crowds of people began to increase as Edward said these words and we're very impressed. Bella hung her head low as she spoke.
(A/N: Okay, it's very tedious having to narrate between every single one of their speeches, so I will just write them out.)
Bella:What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night
So stumblest on my counsel?
Edward:By a name
I know not how to tell thee who I am.
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself.
Because it is an enemy to thee;
Had I it written, I would tear the word.
Edward made and interesting gesture with his hands, of which I could only assume, was him tearing up a piece of paper. He was such a strange boy.
Bella:My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words
Of thy tongue's uttering, yet I know the sound.
Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?
Edward: Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.
Bella blushed her signature blush as Edward said this, but she composed herself to continue without faltering, I could hear her heart rate increasing rapidly, though.
Bella:How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death, considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
Edward:With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls,
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do, that dares love attempt.
Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.
Bella:If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
Edward:Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords. Look thou but sweet,
And I am proof against their enmity.
Bella:I would not for the world they saw thee here.
Edward:I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes,
And but thou love me, let them find me here;
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued wanting of thy love.
Bella:By whose direction found'st thou out this place?
Edward:By love, that first did prompt me to enquire:
He lent me counsel, and I lent him eyes.
I am no pilot, yet wert thou as far
As that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea,
I should adventure for such merchandise.
Bella:Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight.
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke, but farewell compliment.
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay';
And I will take thy word; yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false: at lovers' perjuries
They say Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully;
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse, and say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo, but else not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore tjou mayst think my behaviour light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more coying to be strange.
I should have been more strange , I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true-love passion; therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark nigh hath so discovered.
Edward:Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow,
That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops-
Jasper 'wooooo'ed as Emmett wolf whistled at Edward's declaration of love, Edward gave them a deathly glare.
Bella:O swear not by the moon, th'inconsistant moon,
That monthly changes in her circl'd orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
Edward:What shall I swear by?
Bella:Do not swear at all;
Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I'll believe thee.
Edward:If my heart's dear love-
Bella:Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight,
It is too rash, too unadvis'd, too sudden,
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
Ere one can say 'It lightens'. Sweet, good night:
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.
Good night, good night! as sweet response and rest
Come to thy heart as that within my breast.
Edward:O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
Bella:What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?
Edward:Th'exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
Bella:I gave thee mine before thou didst request it;
And yet I would it were to give it again.
Edward:Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?
Bella:But to be frank and give it thee again,
And yet I wish but for the thing I have:
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee
The more I have, for both are infinite.
Emmett called in a high pitch voice, playing the nurse. Eliciting some giggling laughter from Jessica, Angela, Lauren and Amber. Conner, Austin, Lee and Samantha had also now joined the group that was watching the performance in utter amazement at the randomness of it. They were enjoying it though.
Bella:I hear some noise within; dear love, adieu!-
Anon, good Nurse!- Sweet Montague, be true.
Stay but a little, I will come again.
Edward: O blessed, blessed night! I am afeared,
Being in night, all of this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial.
Bella:Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.
If that thy bent of love be honourable,
Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow,
By one that I'll procure to come to thee,
Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite,
And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay,
And follow thee my lord throughout the world.
Emmett:Madam!
Bella:I come, anon.-But if thou meanest not well,
I do beseech thee-
Emmett:Madam!
Bella:By and by I come-
To cease thy strife, and leave me to my grief.
Tomorrow I will send.
Edward:So thrive my soul-
Bella:A thousand times good night!
Bella walks of to the other side of the water fountain and trips over her foot, Jasper, Emmett, Rose and I burst out with laughter, as Edward starts to speak.
Edward:A thousand times the worse, to want thy light.
Love goes towards love as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
Bella comes back from the other side of the fountain as Edward starts to walk away.
Bella:Hist, Romeo, hist! O for a falc'ner's voice,
To lure this tassel-gentle back again:
Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud,
Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies,
And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine
With repetition of my Romeo's name.
Edward:It is my soul that calls upon my name.
How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night,
Like softest music to attending ears!
Bella:Romeo!
Edward:My niësse?
Bella:What a'clock tomorrow
Shall I send to thee?
Edward:By the hour of nine.
Bella:I will not fail; 'tis twenty year till then.
I have forgot why I did call thee back.
Edward:Let me stand here till thou remember it.
Bella:I shall forget, to have thee still stand there,
Rememb'ring how I love thy company.
Edward:And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget,
Forgetting any other home but this.
Bella:'Tis almost morning, I would have thee gone:
And yet no farther than a wanton's bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand,
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gives,
And with a silken thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.
Edward:I would I were thy bird.
Bella:Sweet, so would I,
Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow;
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Edward:Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!
Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!
Hence will I to my ghostly sire's close cell,
His help to crave and my dear hap to tell.
Bellalet out a sigh of happiness and relief as Edward spoke his last line. The crowd of people began to clap and Edward took a bow, persuading Bella to aswell.
BPOV
Oh My Fricking God! That was the most embarrassing thing I have ever done in my entire life. What was worse was the fact that people from school were watching. Emmett and Jasper couldn't stop laughing. The good thing was, I had to gove someone a truth or dare next, and I knew just who it was going to be.
APOV
After Bella had finished her dare, I jumped off of Jasper's back and kissed his cheek, I then slapped him.
'What the actual hell was that for, Alice?' He asked me in disbelief.
'You and Emmett just couldn't stop laughing through that. It was actually quite disruptive.' I told him.
'Yeah, well you were disruptive too. Did you have any idea that you were rubbing your feet up and down my groins?' He asked me. I smirked. I did in fact know that.
'You can't tell me you didn't like that though…' I said. He just shrugged and didn't say anything except the odd 'slap' and 'stupid violent wife' as we walked to the car. I just ignored him. 'Hey, good show Bella.' I said as she got into the Jeep next me.
'Erm, yeah, thanks Alice.' She said looking at the floor of the car as Edward got in next to her. You too Edward, good show, I added in my mind. He just smiled at me.
Jasper wouldn't talk to me the entire way back to the house; I didn't like it when he was like this so I decided to tease him. I ran my hand slowly up his thigh, and back down to his knee. He shuffled uncomfortably. 'Jasper, baby. I'm sorry I hit you all the time, I just try to get some discipline into your head.' I pouted.
He sighed 'yes, Alice, I know.' He said sweetly holding my hand. Phew, I didn't want an enemy whilst playing this game, it can surprise you at the best of times.
When we were back in the sitting room and ready for the next TRUTH or DARE, Emmett touched Rosalie's lower back, causing an outburst.
'Emmett! How dare you. Get the fuck off of me!' She yelled. Jasper and I burst out laughing. I turned to his ear and whispered in his ear.
'How about we make this doubly hard for Emmett?' I asked.
'Perfect' Jasper replied, he loved messing with Emmett. We walked up right infront of him and Jasper grabbed my back.
'Oh Alice, what a lovely lower back you have.' He said loudly.
'Thank you, Jasper.' I replied running my fingers through his blond hair as I kissed him. As soon as Jasper began to moan, Emmett hit the back of his legs, sending him to the floor.
'You guys are the meanest brother and sister, ever!' He cried and folded his arms over his chest. Rose just laughed and high fived me. 'Ha, never mind. I have a great idea.' He told us. Jasper laughed. The last great idea he had ended up with Bella stuck in a tree.
'Oh, Bella.' He summoned.
'Yes, Emmett?' Bella replied.
EMPOV
Hey, Eddie. Can you sing into Jasper's ear or something so he can't hear what I whisper to Bellsy here? I thought. He just nodded as I walked over to Bella. Edward started humming Claire de Lune in Jasper's ear as I whispered to her.
'I have the perfect dare for Jasper!' I whisper-shouted. I told her the dare and then we all sat back in our positions.
'Okay then. Jasper Truth or Dare?' Bella asked simply, willing to get the game moving. Ha ha, she listened to me! This is gunna be good. Pay Back time!
So, what did you guys think about that then? Hit or Miss? I was wondering if you found it boring or not? Please review to tell me. By the way, if you didn't get into the chapter like Jessie and Amber did, then I promise there will be more chances.
Very sorry if there were any mistakes in this chapter, because it was so long, I really couldn't be bothered to check it through… sorry.
Guess who I am meeting in 13 days?!!!
Kellan, Ashley, Peter, Justin and Christian…. YEAH!
My team Jasper shirt came in the post on Friday, in fact, I am wearing it now! Hehehe, does anyone else have a team someone shirt? If you do, tell me who!
Remember the reviews about Jackson! Sorry I couldn't mention those who talked about him in their reviews chapter, but I have to pay for the internet here so I don't have enough time to look through all of my reviews! Sorry. I promise I will someday… lol.
REVIEW! =)
