(Jasper's POV. Bet you weren't expecting that. XD)

Fear and anxiety radiated off of Bella. Her eyes were wide as she tried to comprehend what Alice had just told her. She would have to sing. In front of not only me, but Emmett, Alice, and Rosalie as well.

I grabbed her hand and sent out a calming wave, hoping that it would boost her confidence.

Alice asked Bella, "Ready?"

She took a deep breath and nodded before getting off the couch while Alice set up the song.

Bella stood in front of the big screen TV, trying not to panic. She turned back to her audience. "Don't laugh."

"Why would we laugh?" I asked. "You're a great singer, Bella."

She smiled at me before turning back to the TV.

"Oh my God! You suck!" Emmett yelled, jokingly before the music even started. I threw a throw pillow at him.

Alice stepped away from the karaoke machine and sat down on the adjacent couch.

The music started.

Bella's nervousness faded away as she focused solely on the music.

I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass, it's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

Bella started off singing a little quietly. But as the song progressed, her self-confidence grew and she sang louder and started having fun.

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
It's gonna just feel so...
It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I passed it up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

When Bella finished the song, all eyes were on her. She turned around to face us and blushed at the attention focused on her.

Alice recovered from the shock the quickest. "That was awesome, Bella!"

We all agreed.

Bella quickly sat down, hating being the focus, just like I did.

I asked, "So, who's picking your song, Alice?"

Bella perked up. "I think I should. Since you picked mine."

The slightest tinge of worry coursed through Alice. But she recovered quickly. "Oh yeah... sure."

I whispered a song in Bella's ears, low enough that Alice wouldn't hear.

Bella got off the couch and flipped through the CDs.

Alice's worry grew as Bella set up the song.

Finally, Bella stepped back and Alice took her place in front of the TV.

The guitar came in first. Then the rest of the instruments. And then Alice started singing.

I'm on my second drink
But I've had a few before...
I'm tryin' hard to think
And I think that I want you on the floor
Uh huh, yeah on the floor!

Bella took her place next to me on the couch again. Alice was trying hard not to laugh in the middle of the song. I didn't blame her. It is a pretty embarrassing song to sing.


Go on and take it off
Take it off!
You gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off
Break me off!
'Cause I get what I want and I like what I see

Emmett was now currently rolling on the ground laughing while Rosalie just rolled her eyes at him. Bella looked at me. "Good choice."

I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "Thanks."


Need your love 1,2,3
Stop starin' at my D cup
Don't waste time, just give it to me
C'mon baby, just feel me up
C'mon, just give it up

Alice sang the chorus again. If she were still human, she would've been blushing like crazy.


Forget the application...
You're the right guy for the task
Let me take you on vacation
Just do it, you don't have to ask!

Alice finished the song and turned to glare at me and Bella. "You know what, you two suck!"

Bella shrugged. "It was your idea to do karaoke."

Alice changed the subject. "Rose. You're next."

"I'm not going." I knew she was bluffing. Rosalie would never pass up an opportunity to be in the spotlight.

Emmett sat up from where he was on the floor. "Oh come on Rose! You have to sing!"

"Yeah Rose," I agreed. "We all had to. Now it's your turn."

Rosalie rolled her eyes but got up anyways. Alice set up the song.

A minute later, Rosalie was the one standing in front of the big screen TV with the microphone in her hand.

Hey baby, baby

Whatcha want, you're calling me

No! No!
No! No!
No! No!
No! No!

Out of all the girls, Rosalie was the only one not worried or nervous. This didn't surprise me. Rosalie didn't get nervous about anything.

Hey baby, baby
Whatcha want, you're calling me
Dumb standing around the lunch truck so greedily

Bella leaned in to ask, "I like this song. Who's it by?"

"The Dollyrots," I replied. "They're kind of a new band. I'm surprised Alice was even able to get a karaoke version of the song. But it is Alice."


Hey baby, baby
Just another dog I see
Rolling in the dirt you're barking up the wrong tree

So maybe you're crazy
Never get a bone
Ooh you're just too much man for me
Yeah maybe you're crazy

Never catch me
You can't make me

Had enough
I've had enough

Cat cat calling and I just don't care
Cat cat calling so I'm out of here

No! No! Never gonna hear you
No! No! Never to be near you
Never to be near you

Rosalie finished the song without a problem. She turned around to face her audience and took a bow before taking her place next to Emmett on the floor.

Alice said, "Guess what."

Bella looked suspicious. "What...?"

"It's time for your makeover!"

"Fuck."

I laughed. "It won't be that bad. I promise."

Bella looked up at me. "You'd better be right." She got off the couch and followed Alice upstairs.

(Bella's POV)

I hate Alice. I really hate her.

I was currently standing in front of Alice's full length mirror, with my eyes closed while she did my makeup and hair. The only good thing about Alice's makeovers is that they don't take long because she's a vampire.

"Ok. I'm done. But don't open your eyes yet. She led me to her bathroom and threw in a bunch of clothes. "Ok. Get changed and then you can see yourself."

I rolled my eyes. I looked down at what Alice wanted me to wear. It actually wasn't as bad as she usually did. At least it didn't involve heels.

I changed into a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a pink Ramones tee with three-quarter length sleeves, and red flats.

"Okay. I'm changed." I walked out of the bathroom and Alice pulled me in front of the full-length mirror in her room.

I jumped a little, trying to get used to the reflection staring back at me. "Is that really me?" This was unlike anything Alice had ever done to me before. No designer labels. No fancy shoes or dresses or skirts. And minimal makeup too.

Alice nodded. "Do you like it?"

"I love it."

She'd curled my hair into waves that fell down to my shoulders, and I was wearing a little eyeliner with some pale lip gloss. Nothing over the top.

"You think you'd actually wear something like this day to day?"

I thought about it. "I think I would." At least the clothes were in my price range.

She hugged me. "Great! You can keep this. Jasper is gonna freak!"

Before I had a chance to answer, she was pulling me downstairs by the hand.

No one noticed us when we got to the living room. Jasper and Rosalie were in the middle of more karaoke. They were facing each other, not even having to look at the lyrics on the screen.

Alice and I moved silently to sit on one of the couches to listen.

Rosalie sang, "You weren't the first to court me, mister. You won't be the last."

Then Jasper sang, "Oh, I'm sure I wasn't honey, I know all about your past." He sounded a lot like he did when he sang Social Distortion.

Then back to Rosalie. "Listen to the big shot with his pager on call. You spent most of those nights in my bathroom stall."

Emmett chimed in with, "Yeah you got him high but you left him low."

Rosalie held back a laugh as she sang, "Mind your own business, boy! How was I to know? That he was just a fiend and a no good cheat?"

Jasper, who had a big smile on his face, sang, "Well it's all in the past bitch 'cause now I've got it beat."

They sang the chorus together. "Darcy, Darcy, darling dear. You left me dying, crying there. In whiskey, gin, and pints of beer, I fell for you my darling dear."

I couldn't help but smile, seeing the two 'siblings'. They looked so happy, Rosalie especially.

They finished the song and Jasper finally noticed me and Alice. He did a double take when he saw me.

"Bella?"

"I know, I look different!"

He sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around me. "You look beautiful."

I blushed and smiled. "What song were you guys just singing?"

Rosalie answered. "'The Dirty Glass'. I love that song!" She was beaming. And she didn't look like she hated me, which was a first.

We sat around and talked and goofed off and watched TV for a few hours. Then Esme came home with a pizza for me.

Then Alice saw a commercial for a shoe sale on TV and that a conversation with Rosalie about shoes. I just ate my pizza and tried to comprehend what they were saying.

While both were rambling, Jasper leaned in and whispered to me, "How the hell can someone talk about shoes for this long?"

This rewarded him a death glare from both Rosalie and Alice before they went back to talking.

"You shouldn't have said that," I told him with a laugh.

He rolled his eyes. "They look at me like that every time I say something like that. The only person they ever throw things at though, is Emmett."

His point was proven as Rosalie threw a shoe at him after he made a comment. Something along the lines of, "Shoes suck."

I cracked up.

We heard the front door open but didn't think anything of it, figuring it was just Carlisle coming home from work.

But it wasn't Carlisle who walked into the living room.

It was Edward.

A/N: Haha! Cliffie and more randomness! XD Ok, so songs in order were, "Misery Business" by the amazing Paramore, "Take It Off" by The Donnas, "Cat Calling" by The Dollyrots (Check em out on myspace), and "The Dirty Glass" by the Dropkick Murphys, which is kind of a 'he said/she said' kind of thing, which is why I chose it.
