Your prayers have been answered! It's time for a new chapter. My writing style may have changed a little bi—okay it probably changed a lot in a year. BUT! I will try my best. I totally forgot this story even existed. and yes, i am completely aware that there is an excessive use of the word 'squish' in this chapter. Amazingly enough, there aren't very many synonyms for it.
I knew there was a reason why I didn't teleport large objects. Bad things always happened when I did. In this case, I may have, sort of—well, I squished Brendon's garden while he was in it. It wasn't like Brendon could die, plus a couple of years ago he squished me with a lawn mower, so I could consider this some sort of belated revenge.
Yes. That was how I was going to explain to Zach why he had to tend to Brendon's newly acquired wounds. Ingenious really.
"Umm…Alex?"
"Yes, Edward. How may I be of service to you," I said looking at Sean's incredulous expression. Then, suddenly, Sean's expression changed to one of an evil dust bunny. (AN: They're taking over the world I tell you!) Then I knew, I just knew that he was going to use this incident for blackmail. David must not be home yet, I realized, or else I would hear girlish screaming and ranting.
"I think we may have landed on something that was still alive," Edward said calmly. I had to admit. He was doing pretty well for his first time squishing someone. The first time I did it, it had been Sean who had been the victim of my testing out my new powers—and I had freaked out when I realized what happened. This was before anyone had felt the need to tell me that they couldn't die by being flattened like a pancake. I remember it clearly. I was in the front yard, doing an inspection of my new home when I saw it. A hideously ugly fountain that looked like in hadn't been in use since the 1890's. So I decided that I would do everyone a favor and get rid of it. So I used my new-found powers and teleported it over the cliff. Or at least I thought I did. It turned out that I accidentally teleported the fountain in the living room, where Sean was playing a game of chess against some ghost friend he had made when they first moved in to the house.
"Don't even worry about it, Edward. I'm sure that Brendon won't mind terribly. Besides, I'd been meaning to get back at him for throwing that lawn mower on me while I was trying to read." That was my excuse and I was sticking with it. "I mean, really. If he wanted me to mow the lawn all he had to do was ask and I could have called some nice little goaties to do the job for us. It works both ways. We get our lawn mowed, and our goats get fed."
"Alex," Edward said, interrupting my rant. "Maybe we should get the car off of him?"
"Nah. He's not even under there anymore. He's probably with Zach now, complaining that I've grown up to be irresponsible. What he's really going to be pissed off about is his garden. I suck with plants. Can't do anything with 'em, no one can. Plants have a mind of their own. It'll probably take him a while to get his flowers to forgive him before they'll even consider growing for him again." I explained getting out of the car. "David is going to kill me," I groaned as I examined the mud and scratches on his car. I don't understand why he even leant it to me if he cares about it so much." I muttered darkly to myself, but I could tell Edward heard me by the soft melodious sound coming from behind me.
"Ohhh…David's going to kill you! You are in so much trouble!" Sean taunted from the door way. "Unless, of course, Brendon gets to you first. That garden is the only thing that he was able to convince to grow on our property, and now that you've offended it nothing is ever going to grow here again. Brendon's going to be soooo pissed." He said, hysteria consuming him.
"Uh-huh. By the way, we have guests coming over pretty soon. Six of them, plus the one I've got with me," I said walking over to him and punching him in the stomach so he'd stop laughing. "Be polite, and get the house ready, because Goddess only knows what kind of experiments you've got going on in there."
"How soon is soon, Alex."
"Probably in a few seconds. Ah, Speak of the Devil and the Devil shall appear." I said as the Cullens screeched to a halt in the driveway.
"Hah! I won!" Emmet shouted joyously. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward smirk.
"No you didn't," he said smugly, gesturing to David's car which was still sitting in Brendon's garden. I should really do something about that before—
"What happened to my baby!" too late. The drama king was home. "I give my car for two seconds. Two seconds, and you've ruined it! My poor baby," David wailed. Sometimes I wondered if those kinds of decibels should be possible for a guy.
"It was more than two second, David, and look what she did to Brendon's garden!" Sean shouted unhelpfully. "She even landed on him!" That got David's attention.
"You landed on Brendon? With my car? Forget punishment, you are my new favorite person. Sorry Sean."
"Hey!"
"I'm sorry, did I hear that right? You landed on a person with a car, Edward!?" Carlisle said in a tone that reminded me of a parent scolding a child for breaking some ridiculously expensive item.
"Don't even worry about it, Carlisle. Brendon's fine. I promise. He's not even under there anymore, see?" I said floating the car off of Brendon's ruined garden. "He'll be fine in a couple of days. I've done worse things to him than smashing him with a car." Emmett, who seemed to fine the idea of squishing someone with a car terribly funny, was roaring with laughter.
"That is not funny, Emmett" Esme scolded him, while grabbing his ear. This made everyone except Carlisle burst out laughing.
"So are you all going to stay out here in the yard for the rest of the day, or are you going to come inside. Oh, and Alex, a little warning would be nice next time you decide to 'drop in'" A cool aloof voice came from behind me. I winced. Jason did not sound incredibly happy.
"Please, come in" Sean said, suddenly remembering his manners. I waited until all the Cullens had entered before following them.
"You, are in big trouble," Jason said to me as I passed him. "I needed some of those plants you squashed with David's car. They were extremely hard to grow."
"Eh-heh" I laughed nervously. When Jason said you were in trouble, you were in trouble. Big trouble. I resisted the urge to run, knowing that he would just get me in the end. I trudged on past him. Readying myself to face imminent doom.
