A/N: You know what's funny? I got root beer and I suddenly feel motivated to write more! Amazing, I know. As I have said before, all I need is root beer and I'm content. Of course, I need the Twilight series too but who could live without that?

Disclaimer: I am owner of the skunk, but he has ran away! Whaaa! Why does he hate me so?

Chapter 14- Cured At Last

Edward's POV

I still felt really strange for doing this, but if Bella said it would work, I was sure it would. I used the can opener to open like…eighteen cans of tomato juice. Again, I refuse to go shopping with Emmett ever again! I poured each can into the bath tub. The aroma of tomatoes was really over powering. I was completely convinced that it would dominate the skunk smell. It had to. If it didn't I'd have to wear a sack over my head for the rest of my life, move to Canada and change my name to Paul! The three reasons why I couldn't do that, One: It would be far away from Bella, Two: I have no idea what Canada's full national anthem is, Three: I am not nor will I ever be a Paul! Alright, now that I've proved my point, I stepped into the tub and laid down in the tomato juice. This was seriously gross!

I soaked in tomato juice for a full hour, just like Bella told me to. I wrapped a towel around me and drained the tub. Now, all that was left to do was test the results. I changed into clean clothes and headed downstairs.

The first person I found was Emmett. He was elbow deep in a box of Captain Crunch.

" What are you doing?" I asked in the most concerned way I could.

" I'm trying to get the prize!"

" Okay…yeah."

Suddenly, Emmett started sniffing. He stepped closer to me and sniffed my shoulder.

" Emmett, what are you.. what doesn't stink?" Jasper asked, entering the room.

" Yes! It worked!" I cheered.

" Let me get this straight, you just bathed in a bunch of ketchup and suddenly you're fresh as a pine forest?!" Emmett asked.

" Pretty much…yes!"

Then Bella walked in the front door. She had left a few hours ago to go make dinner for Charlie. I literally ran up to her and lifted her off the ground, and captured her in the biggest hug I could conjure up.

" Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much, Bella!" I said.

" As long as you don't stink anymore, that's thanks enough for me." she said.

Esme looked up from the magazine she was reading. We actually didn't notice she was there until just then.

" So he doesn't smell anymore?" She asked.

" Nope." Bella answered.

Esme tore the nose plug off and breated in the fresh air, " Ahhh..much better."

Then Emmett started squealing like an idiot.

" I FOUND THE PRIZE! IT'S A BOUNCY BALL!" Then he started bouncing that stupid ball all over the place. Seriously, what does Rosalie see in that child? Never mind, I probably don't want to know. I have to hear their thought every night, (if you know what I mean.)

" Umm…Edward." Bella said.

" Yes, love?" I asked.

" You kind of smell like tomatoes."

A/N: I know what you're thinking but it's still not over! There's still one more chapter to go! Alas, cuz I still have root beer! Seriously, REVIEW! REVIEW!REVIEW!

P.S: Seriously, has anybody seen my skunk?!
