Summary: After Danielle's first Halloween with the Cullens, she learns the hard way that when Esme says "No," no means no.

NO MEANS NO

"Good morning, baby," Mommy smiled when I went downstairs for breakfast.

"'Morning," I whispered to her, sitting down and rubbing my eyes.

"Did Alice help you get dressed?" Mommy asked, putting a bowl of cereal in front of me. I was confused. It was the day after Halloween, I wasn't supposed to have cereal for breakfast. The morning after Halloween I was supposed to have candy for breakfast.

"I don't want cereal," I whined, ignoring Mommy's question. "I'm supposed to have candy for breakfast today," I told her. Mommy looked at me and I saw Daddy come into the kitchen.

"Who said you were going to have candy for breakfast, love?" Daddy asked me.

"I always have candy for breakfast after Halloween, that way it goes faster," I explained, grabbing a handful from the bowl on the counter.

"No, Danielle," Mommy took the candy from my hand and put it back in the bowl. "I put some candy in your lunchbox, but we are not eating candy for breakfast. If you don't want cereal I can make you something else, but breakfast is supposed to be a healthy meal, remember?"

"But I want candy!" I whined. I was supposed to be able to have candy.

"Danielle," Daddy warned. "Mommy said no. No means no," he said. I glared at him. They didn't know what they were talking about. They probably forgot about all the rules since their babies were all grown up now.

"Fine," I mumbled and took a bite out of the cereal. I was going to get my candy for breakfast.

"Alright," Daddy sighed, petting my head. "I have to go to work. Behave today," he kissed me.

"Bye Daddy," I told him. He kissed Mommy too and whispered something in her ear. She just chuckled.

"Bye, love," he said as he walked out the door. Mommy had her back to me and was cleaning something in the kitchen. While her back was turned, I quickly grabbed my favorite candy – a Twix bar – and put it in my mouth. Mommy quickly turned around and looked at me. She was angry and I knew I was going to be in trouble.

"Danielle," She said calmly. "Did you just take a piece of candy out of the bowl after I told you not to?" She asked.

I shook my head and stopped chewing, trying to hide the chocolate in my mouth.

"Open your mouth," Mommy told me. I knew I was busted, so I just did what I was told. "That's what I thought," she said. She went over to my lunchbox and took out the three pieces of candy she put in there for my lunch. I immediately started crying, resulting in Rosalie running down the stairs.

"What happened?" She asked, picking me up. I cried into her shoulder.

"Danielle ate candy for breakfast even though I told her not to, so I took the candy out of her lunchbox. We can try again tomorrow, but she hasn't earned it for today," Mommy explained, making me cry harder.

"Dani, is that true?" Rosalie asked. I nodded. I didn't think Mommy would catch me. I was wrong.

"My other mommy let me eat candy for breakfast," I sniffed. "It's not fair."

"We talked about this, Dani," Mommy came over. "Your other mommy let you do a lot of things that we don't do anymore. It's not because she was bad, it is just because things are different now. When Daddy or I tell you to do something, we need you to do it."

"I liked my other mommy's rules better," I glared at her. Rosalie tightened her grip on me, but quickly relaxed.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Mommy sighed. "It doesn't change anything. Are you done with your breakfast?" Mommy asked me. I nodded. I wasn't hungry anymore. Mommy nodded and cleaned up my cereal.

"Let's go get your backpack," Rosalie smiled, picking me up and walking with me to the door. She helped me get my shoes and my jacket on.

"Do you have your homework?" Rosalie asked me. I nodded.

"Check," I mumbled. This was something we did every day, but today it felt stupid.

"Do you have your pencil case?"

"Check."

"Do you have your smile?" Rosalie teased. I looked up at her and tried not to smile, but the longer I waited the harder it was. Eventually, Rosalie just started tickling me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Check!" I squealed and Rosalie released me.

"Alright you two," Mommy warned. "We have to go or you're going to be late," Mommy told me. "Say goodbye to Rosalie!"

"Bye, Rosie!" I Eskimo kissed her. It was our thing.

"Bye, sweetie. I hope you have a good day!" She told me.

"I would have a better day with candy," I mumbled on the way out, but one look from Mommy told me I shouldn't have said that.

I stayed quiet the rest of the car ride.

A/N: Thank you to Ashley for the suggestion! I hope this was what you wanted!
