I do not own Twilight…
I'm SO SO SO!!! So beyond sorry that this is over a week or two late...I tried last week but something was up and I couldn't log in...anyway Winterguard season kicked off today! Woohoo! We got 3rd at our first performance of the season!!! So I thought I would write a fun chapter, to gear up for the next angst filled chapters! If you're wondering the name of the chapter comes from the Oingo Boingo song Dead Man's Party, it's our performance song!
Chapter 11
Waking up was terrible...although, waking up beside Edward could be put in the amazing column. I tried to move my arms but they seemed oddly tucked into my sides, along with my legs tucked tightly together.
"Was I mysteriously mummified over night?" I asked, peering up from the pillows to Edward. He broke out laughing, shaking his head at me.
"You were shivering over night, so I tucked you in to keep you warm." He said, jumping up smoothly and holding a hand out for mine. "And I must say, your hair is rather interesting to look at right now." He laughed again, running his hands carefully through my crazy tangled hair.
"Oh...I'm going to take a couple of human minutes and try to figure out how to fix this haystack previously know as my hair." I laughed and ducked quickly into the bathroom, awkwardly shutting the door with my hip. I heard the door shut lightly to his bedroom and quickly brushed through the ratted hair.
"Bella? It's Alice, I'm here to give your costume to you." I swung around quickly, hearing Alice's perfectly chirping voice on the other end.
"Costume." My voice crack half-way through, knowing the tortures that would come with Alice and costumes.
"It's Halloween, silly. We get to dress up for school!" She sounded absolutely excited as she burst through the bathroom door, the door hitting the wall with a dull thunk.
"Do I have to?!" It came out as an overly exaggerated whine, but I really didn't want to be left in Alice's hands.
"Yep, we're all dressing up...even Edward." She laughed and began pulling loads of make-up out of her bag, forcing me into a chair.
"So what do I get to be?" I asked, watching her pull out several more outfits.
"I'm not telling you." She laughed, dancing to a spot in front of me.
"A vampire?" I asked, an eyebrow raising.
"Nope." She laughed, almost privately to herself.
"Well?" I asked, trying to pressure her into telling me.
"I can't tell you, Bella." She laughed, beginning to pull my hair into several rollers.
"Alice, I promise to submit to this fully without a single complaint throughout if you tell what you plan on doing." I said, knowing the risk I was taking.
Okay, but only because I know what kind of fight you're capable of." She laughed and began heating up several curlers off to the side. "You're not going to be a vampire...you're going to be a vampire slayer!" She said, clapping her hands together.
"Seriously?" I asked, remembering how I had continuously watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I was younger, never thinking I would actually meet a family of vampires.
"Yep! You're going to Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the day...minus the blond hair of course." Alice said, pulling several more rollers through my dark hair.
"Do I have a choice?" I asked, trying to pull a pout with Alice but she already saw it coming.
"Bella, you promised no complaints." She said, jokingly shaking a finger at me.
"Okay." I sat back, folding my arms as I pouted.
--
"Okay, just one more pin and...you're done!" Alice said, clapping her hands together in excitement.
"Is everyone dressing up?" I asked, as she handed me a mirror to look. I had to admit, I looked completely different. I could remember the costume I was wearing from somewhere in the third season of the show, the white shirt was simple the black collar surrounding my neck complimenting the black pants and shoes. The black leather jacket kept me warm...even though at the moment I felt as if I was slightly overheating. My cheeks were a bright pink color, even though Alice hadn't put any blush on me.
"Yeah, Rosalie and I are going to dress quickly before we leave." She turned around and quickly sprayed my hair through slightly with hairspray. "Bella, are you alright?" She asked, watching as my eyes drifted off slightly.
"Um...I think so, I just feel a little warm." I whispered, trying to fan my cheeks. She spun around and searched through several of the cabinets, finding a small thermometer, she put it lightly into my mouth.
"About 99.8 degrees...do you want me to tell Edward?" She asked, holding the thermometer in one hand.
"Can we not? I'm actually kind of excited about today, and Edward would worry." I said, stumbling a little bit as I stood up.
"Okay, but if you feel worse you have to tell me." She said, shaking a finger at me worriedly.
"I'm sure I'll be fine. It's probably just a little cold." I smiled, stepping out of the bathroom towards my backpack.
"Okay, well here, take these and Edward will be coming in in about 20 seconds." She laughed and skipped out the door, leaving two orange colored cold pills in my hand. I quickly walked to the bathroom and swallowed them with some water as Edward walked in.
"Hello." He smirked, showing his teeth.
"What are you wearing?" I asked, trying to keep from laughing as I looked at the two fake fangs molded to his canines.
"Apparently, I'm suppose to be Angel." He said, running a hand through his messy bronze hair.
"And I'm suppose to be Buffy...we work." I laughed, hearing Alice some running down the hall.
"I forgot to give you this." She said quickly, shoving a fake wooden stake into my hand. She skipped back out so quickly I didn't get the chance to say thank you.
"Hmmm, I wonder if this could actually work." I whispered slightly, smiling sweetly.
"I would dare you to try but I know that somehow you would and the resulting bruise would be bad." He laughed, lightly taking away the object from me.
"Hey!" I laughed, trying to jump up and grab it back from him, but he was holding it far above his head. "It's not pick on Bella day, so can I have it back please?" I asked, hearing Emmett come down the hall.
"Aww! But everyday is pick on Bella day." He laughed, carefully tucking my head under his arm and knuckling my head. I heard Alice screech from around the corner and Edward caught me as Emmett took off to safety.
"Emmett Cullen you better run!" Alice said, coming around the corner fully dressed in her outfit as an apparent fairy. It worked perfectly with her glittery makeup and her spikey black hair. "Come here Bella, I'll fix your hair quickly." She pulled me towards the bathroom and brushed my hair back out, fixing the curling waves so they fell perfectly down my back.
"Thanks Alice." I said, watching as she skipped out, her pink and black skirts flicking around her legs. "So, do you know where Emmett ran off to?" I asked, looking up to the smirking Edward who handed me back the stake.
"I think he went to school early for once." He laughed, also handing me my backpack.
"Wow...I think I would head for the hills if I made Alice mad." Edward started laughing again, grabbing his keys as we left his room.
"I headed for Alaska once, shortly after she arrived...she ended up finding me." He said, pulling another door open for me.
"How did you make her mad?" I was curious, Alice didn't seem that easy to upset as long as you left her clothes and accesories alone.
"I decided that I didn't like the fact that her clothes pretty much covered most of my closet also." He shrugged, leaving me to wonder what he actually did.
"And?" I asked, stepping into the Volvo.
"Burned them." Edward said, starting the Volvo quickly.
"Burned them?" I asked, stunned.
"Burned them." He said, smiling widely.
"Wow...and you survived?" I asked, wondering what had happened after she had gotten to Alaska.
"We came to an agreement after a while...I stay as far away as possible from her clothes and she leaves my closet alone." He said, pulling into the school parking lot alongside Emmett's jeep. "Although she does break the rule once in a while... I like her a lot more now then I did then." He laughed again, and stepped out of the car quickly pulling the door open for me.
"Do I look okay?" I asked quickly, seeing some of the costumed students staring over at us.
"You look perfect like always." He smiled at me, making it feel as if my insides were melting. "How about me?" He laughed, smiling as he did a spin around me. He looked as perfect as always, the black pants, dark blue shirt and black leather coat worked perfectly.
"Perfect." I sighed, cracking up again as I saw the fangs. "You know before I thought Vampires had to have fangs...but now the idea seems absurd to me." I smiled at him.
"Have you seen many vampires dressed as vampires on Halloween?" He asked, keeping quiet so noone else could hear.
"I would have to say that you are the first I've seen." I said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me along to where Rosalie stood with Emmett. Rosalie looked beautiful dressed in a flowing emerald green dress wearing silky green ballet shoes. Her hair was pulled back beautifully with green ribbon. Emmett stood beside her wearing an old Brooklyn Dodgers uniform.
"Is that one of the real uniforms Emmett?" I asked, wondering how expensive the costume was. He looked the part perfectly as he smiled at me.
"Yep...it's a pure original." He said, tossing a ball in his baseball glove.
"Still hiding Emmett?" Edward asked, stealing the ball so quickly I didn't even see it till it ended up in his open palm.
"Shh!" Emmett hissed, peeking around for Alice. "I can't risk Alice attacking my jeep...it's not as if I totally ruined Bella's hair! It was fixable." Emmett said trying to look innocently at me.
"Wow Emmett, as if I, of all people, wouldn't see that you went to school." Alice said, tapping a small heeled shoe. "Don't worry Emmett, since it was easy to fix your jeep is safe." Alice smiled at Emmett as he sighed loudly, obviously relieved. Alice looked even more pretty then she had earlier, her spiky black hair now had a glittery sheen to it, working perfectly with the glitter highlighting her face. The outfit she wore was cool, the black and pink bodice looking like a flowing ballerina's outfit. The pink wings resting on her back looking expensive as she stood beside Jasper.
"Bella, Edward, you look perfect!" Alice clapped her hands as she skipped forward towards me, Jasper following her carefully. Jasper was dressed carefully in a uniform from the Civil War, the uniform looked carefully preserved matching Jasper perfectly.
"Edward does make a perfect Angel, doesn't he?" Emmett asked, laughing. Rosalie smiled at us and slapped Emmett lightly on the arm, pulling him along to their first class.
"Can you believe all these outfits?" Alice asked, looking around at the dozens of guys dressed as either football, bastketball, or soccer players. Many of the girls were only half dressed using the cover of Halloween to show as much skin as possible. "Well, here are the tickets to the halloween dance tonight." Alice handed a simple ticket to both me and Edward. The bell rang loudly as I tucked the ticket into the wallet hidden inside my backpack.
"Thanks Alice." Edward said, turning towards me quickly. "I'll see you as soon as class ends." He said, smiling down at me, the fangs shining slightly from the overhead lights.
"Try not to scare too many innocent students." I laughed, still slightly amazed over how lucky I was. Edward bent down and kissed me softly, careful of both the fake fangs and his real venom coated teeth. He stepped back after a minute and smiled at me.
"I'll try." He laughed, leaving me to shakingly agree. I was dizzy on my feet as I waved quickly to Edward as Alice pulled me alongside her to our first class.
R-E-V-I-E-W!!
Sorry I had to cut it off there...I know this chapter is shorter but the next will be longer since I have a performance on Friday after school instead of Saturday! So I'm hoping to have the next one at least be double this size and up on Sunday at the latest! Please Review!!!
