A.N: Correct me if I'm wrong, but we're at HOH comp? Okay...This'll be really uncreative, but that's what you get at one a.m.
I tossed the last shoe into Alice's closet, and it landed with a satisfying thump. Edward smiled at my exasperated sigh, and helped me two my feet.
"Seriously, how did that take three hours?" I grumbled, allowing him to tow me to the living room, where everyone was ready and impatient to begin.
"Welcome to this week's HOH competition!" Jasper read off a sheet in a monotone. "Since I was the previous HOH, I will be sitting out. Please choose team red or blue, and take a corrosponding bandana." In a flurry of movement, it was decided that the wolves and the humans would be on one team, the vampires and me on the other.
"Now could everyone follow me to the backyard?" Jasper asked and we all got up to follow him. I tied my blue bandana onto my wrist, like the rest of my team. We stepped outside, and saw what looked like two giant, metal, hollow strawberries that I recognized instantly.
"The Spinning Strawberries!" I declared, flashing back to fun summers spent with my aunt Rosemary in Canada. Every Canada day there was a festival, and there was one ride I went on without fail. You sat in the Strawberries, and use the table like thing in the middle to spin as fast as you could.
"Yes, the Spinning Strawberries. A favorite at many festivals, with a twist. These fruits will spin on their own. Last person to give in wins." It sounded easy enough, but there was sure to be a twist. After all, we were combating against vampires and werewolves here. Edward helped me into the strawberry, and I sat on my own chair. That was differant from the ones I knew. There had only been benches. There were also seatbelts, which confused me. The strawberry was totally closed in. And the last differance was the large red 'panic' button in the middle of the table. The speaker in the ceiling buzzed to life, and Carlisle announced, "On your marks, get set, spin!" The machine slowly ground into action, and we started off slow. I smiled, confident now. It would be easy to win this. I wasn't even concerned when it began spinning faster than I had ever spun before. All of it changed when a new panic button appeared on the wall, and the table lowered itself intothe floor. I was confused for a second, before our chairs started to spin, in the opposite direction of the strawberry. My gut clenched, and I took a deep breath to prevent sickness. Slowly, cracks of light began slicing the darkness, and the strawberries started to slow down, just to pick back up again, in the opposite direction. It had slowed long enough to see that the walls were decending. I was positive I was turning green by the time Edward decided I had had enough. He pressed the panic button and the strawberry halted, no doubt giving me whiplash.
"Edward! What the hell!" Emmett shouted after I had come back from heaving. Edward was compleatly oblivious to his anger, stroking my hair.
"Bella was tired of it." He murmered. I would have argued, had I not been a terrible lier. The other teams strawberry was starting to slow down, but to our left, the ground seemed to split in half, revealing a pool, with a balance beam, just barely sitting over the water line. Jasper was laughing as he read over the paper. The red team got out of the strawberry, stumbling around and tripping all over. The wolves may be almost indestructable, but they were still human...ish.
"Congradulations team red!" Jasper read. "You've won part one of the HOH competition. Now, who has the balence to win part two? Take turns walking this balence beam. Whoever gets across without falling in the least amount of time wins!" Mike was the first one, and he didn't even make it to the beam before he toppled into the pool. Everyone tumbled in fact, exept Jacob and Leah. It was hilarious to watch the furious wolves growl at each other as Jasper read over the resaults. His face had turned grave again.
"Congradulations, Leah. You've won HOH!" He handed the key over to her, and it was a moment before I realized why this was the worst possible development.
Leah was now the decider of our fate. And I had pranked her just this morning.
A.N: Yes, it's rushed, terrible, and unoriganal. At least it's an update. I refuse to spell check it because I just want to load this on, so if it's got typos I'm sorry. Night!
