A/n: Okay, sooooo sorry that this is so short, but that's because I couldn't get it up yesterday due to an X-Files marathon, (seeing the movie monday!!) and then I spent the rest of the day outside with friends and then a sleepover, and I JUST got home. Sooooo, umm, sorry. So this is Number 8. I know it's short. Don't kill me.
ATTACK!
"You know Alice, this is a great idea." We were in the Cullen's backyard, well, at the back of the house at least. I grabbed another balloon and stuck it to the hose and Alice squeezed the nozzle.
"Thank you, thank you very much," she said in her best Elvis impression. It was pretty good. I pulled the balloon off and tied it shut, adding it to the growing pile. I swiped another one and repeated the same action I'd been doing for the past fifteen minutes; Filling up water balloons. Alice's marvelous idea was probably my favorite one yet. Edward and Jasper had taken a hunting trip on their own; Edward because he's always around me and Jasper because he was still a little iffy on me hanging around so often. Being human had its downpoints. When they came back, we were ambushing them with water balloons. Genius. They'd have to wash up anyway, so why not have a little fun with it?
After our pile was as tall as Alice, we moved the balloons out of sight. Since I had such slow reflexes, (human or not), I would be hidden behind her feeding her the balloons while she catapulted them over the bush and hopefully onto their targets; Edward and Jasper.
As if on que, our two targets walked into the clearing.
"Ready?" Alice whispered.
I nodded, handing her the first balloon. I didn't even see her throw it, all I saw was a blur and a splat as it hit Jasper square on the chest and the expression on his face as it did. I fed her more as fast as I could, the balloons just disappearing before splatting on their targets. Edward and Jasper were laughing now, zigzagging back and forth in an attempt to confuse Alice. It wasn't working. Alice had incredible aim, and I don't think that one balloon hit the ground.
Our supply was winding down now, and Alice's arm was becoming slower and slower in throwing. Jasper and Edward were still zigzagging, but slower. They were probably getting worn down.
Alice threw one last balloon, and then we both walked out into the clearing, laughing along with the guys. Edward took a few strides towards me and emersed me in a wet hug. I pushed against his chest, shuddering against the water on his ice cold skin, but he held me tight. All of the sudden, something wet exploded over my head. I looked up in shock, watching Edward's eyes. He looked at me with an innocent expression.
"What?" he asked, a grin forming on his face.
I mimicked his smile, feeling the last of the last of the balloons squish between my fingers. As quick as I could, I stepped back and threw it against his chest, making a big SQUOINK! noise. This time, he looked at me in shock. I just giggled and hugged him again, not caring about the water or the cold. Edward lifted my head and pressed his lips to mine. I sighed, content.
I loved Alice's plan.
Okay, so now YESTERDAY'S is up. Unfortunately, I'm being forced off, so TODAY'S will be up TOMORROW along with TOMORROWS. Understand? I didn't think so.
