Chapter 25
BPV
A few weeks later we got the call that they arrested the men and had recovered our stuff. About half of Alice's wardrobe was sold off but by that point Alice was ecstatic that they were able to recover anything at all. As we went down to the station to retrieve everything they were bringing who they identified as Lonnie past us in order to put him in the holding cell. Edward held me close.
"Fucking asshole…threatening my girlfriend!" Edward snarled as the man glared at him before fearfully turning away.
"Bastard…stealing my shit and scaring the hell out of my friend…you destroy my purse and have the balls to drink my vintage white wine…I'm going to sue your ass for the cost of everything you stole (this got me scared…Alice could get at least 50 grand) hell has a special place for people like you!" Alice growled. She made to attack him but Jasper held her back.
"Alice he's not worth it. Besides he's going to get his. He's going to be in jail for the rest of his life (the judge slapped him with 60 years because of the fact that they pulled the knife and gun on me)." Jasper said reassuringly.
"Free food, room and board for the rest of his life…doesn't like much of a punishment to me…I have nightmares every night!" Alice countered. I didn't get why…as I said before Alice slept through the entire event. Me…a long time ago I built a mental wall so things didn't effect me as much. I mean I had a few nightmares for a couple of days after the event but they went away. Alice on the other hand…we still heard her screaming in her sleep.
"Think about Alice…every day for the next 60 years he's going to be wearing the same color shirt over and over again…prison orange. Lets not forget that there are no private bathrooms in prison." Jasper said. A huge smile grew on Alice's face.
"Prison orange is definitely not anyone's color…oh I love the way you think Jazzikins…Karma is such a bitch. I hope he likes being bubba's wife…cause that's the only action he's going to see for a long long time!" Alice cackled. Walking into the back room we could see that they recovered the coffeemaker, one of the couches, the tv and as I said before half of Alice's wardrobe. They never got the DVD player back so Alice grabbed a portable one instead. Since everything had been replaced already it looked like we were going to have to put the furniture and tv up for sale.
"oh clothes…I missed you so much. I'm so sorry that I couldn't defend you guys! I swear I'll try to do better!" Alice said hugging her clothes like she was holding a lost puppy or something.
"You know we should celebrate the fact that everyone's clothes are safe now…I have the perfect idea…we throw a huge party. This town hasn't seen such a good time in the last couple of years…only problem is location. We cant fit a massive amount of people in our apartment?" Alice said the last part coming out more of a question. Edward and I could see the ploy in Alice's eyes.
" hey we could host it at our place!" Jasper said.
"why thank you Jasper…we could put the dance floor in your living room. We could do an area for making old fashioned drinks…that will go so well with the theme in my head as well as a couple other things. It will be the best thing this town has seen since Lauren's sweet 16 masquerade ball…which that bitch totally stole from me!" as Alice said this I could see the wheels turning in her head. Whatever she was planning…it was going to be huge and probably obnoxious to a certain degree. Edward and I gave each other an "oh no!" look.
"we could do it over the weekend…so much to do…gotta buy clothes, alcohol, food…everything!" Alice started talking at a million miles a minute.
We returned to work about a half hour later. Ted had been very generous with everything going on. He had told us to take time if we needed it and if there was anything that we needed to let him know. Whether it was him being nice or the fact that we gave him an exclusive interview we didn't know. Seth was already sitting in my office when we returned.
"Hey guys…so Alice sent me a text message…said something about a huge theme party going down at Edward's house over the weekend and asked me to help get the word out. I already told her that I could go. She said that everyone who can go will get a text telling them what the theme is in a few days" Seth said swiveling around in my chair. Ugh as I said huge and obnoxious.
" yeah we know about that. They finally caught the guy that robbed us and she wants to celebrate that they got him off the streets." I said.
"wow that's great that they got the guy…did they recover your stuff?" Seth asked.
"Some of it…but its better then nothing right?" I said.
"and at least we're alive…Charlie said that they linked the guy to a home invasion murder that they were investigating from a couple years ago. So its not like he hasn't done it before." Edward said.
"True and for the first time you didn't have to rely on Charlie for intimate details of the crime. I got great pictures of the road block. I still remember Big Ted's face when I walked in the next day with pictures already to go. What can I say…the man needs a police scanner!" Seth said.
"Oh that's great Seth." I said
"Hey guys…got some stories for you two to write…Veterinarian risks his life to save stray dog… apparently the dog ran out into the woods and some hunter thought it was a deer…needless to say the vet now has some metal in his …well lets just say that he probably will be infertile now (all the men in the room winced). Anyways told the hospital that you guys would be in for an interview in 15 minutes…I want the story on my desk tomorrow. The other story is 'Woman saves baby caught in house fire…parents thankful…apparently she received mild burns and is also at the hospital waiting for you guys." Ted said informatively. geez sounds like something Rosalie would do. I wonder if…no Emmett would of called if something like that happened…or Alice.
"I hope Rosalie wasn't in the vicinity…that totally sounds like her." Edward said shaking his head as we grabbed our stuff and prepared to head out again.
" I know what you mean but I don't think so…someone would of called." I said.
"Besides Alice did call right before you guys got back. Rosalie was right next to her giving breastfeeding tips and I could hear the roar of hairdryers going." Seth said.
After pulling up to the hospital we walked in to find a board receptionist popping bubbles and twirling her pigtails. She dazedly doodled on a sketch pad. Seth cleared his throat. The woman then looked up.
" I know you…your that hot doctor's son!" The woman said as her eyes immediately went to Edward.
" hi um we're here from the paper…" Edward started up.
"Oh you're here to see Dr. Zoolander and Mrs. Hale…or is it Miss…I mean with all the divorces around here you never know who's married." the girl said.
"Um is her name Rosalie Hale by any chance?" I asked.
"I think it is…I don't know…it did start with an R." the woman said. I think I went into shock at that point. I could hear Edward groan next to me.
"alright I'll take the vet because no offense love but I don't think he's going to feel comfortable talking to a girl about how his nuts got shot off. Do you want to take Rosalie?" Edward asked.
"Sure!" I said wondering if she had called Emmett yet.
"So who do I go with ?" Seth asked.
"Your choice." I responded as two nurses showed up to take us to the patients.
"Fine…see you in five minutes Bells!" Seth said taking off after Edward. I followed a petite older nurse to the other side of the ER.
"Alright Mrs. Hale…that reporter from the paper is here!" the lady said opening the curtain to reveal an older version of Rosalie.
"So…um Mrs. Hale…can you tell me what exactly happened in your own words?" I asked.
"Rosetta…please…So here I was driving to surprise my daughter when I noticed a house with thick smoke surrounding it and flames completely engulfing the garage. Seeing a car in the driveway and no one around I ran to the door knocking frantically and screaming that their house was on fire. A young couple ran out and then realized that they had left their 5 month old infant in the nursery. Having a daughter myself I knew that if it were me and my baby were caught in a fire I would want someone to save her. So covering my mouth, I ran inside. All I could think about was getting to that precious little angel. I ran through the falling beams and busted down the nursery door. I scooped up that bundle of joy and shoved him out the window into his mommy's waiting arms. I only did what any person would do in that situation." Rosetta said.
"Rosetta….you said that you have a daughter…how old is she?" I asked.
"Oh she's around your age!" Rosetta responded. I was pretty sure at this point that I knew who her daughter was.
"What's her name…maybe I know her?" I asked. Chances are I did.
"oh its going to sound really conceded but I just loved the 'Rose' as a nick name and we wanted to name the child after her grandmother on her dad's side -she was the first grandchild born in the family on both sides- since that woman knew how to run a family. So we named her Rosalie. We already know that she's going to be the head woman of the family one day. Grandma Rose and I are preening her to be just like us." Rosetta said. Huh so over hyped maternal instincts run on both sides of her family. Guess that doesn't bode too well for Emmett.
"oh I know her!" I said. Rosetta gave an "oh shit" look.
" Um Rosalie doesn't kind of know that we selected her to be the matriarch of the family. Um could you just keep that between us. She thinks its going to be her cousin but we had a vote on it the day she was born. Her aunts unwillingly conceded their daughters rights to the head of the family." Rosetta said. The way her mom was talking I could picture Rose and Emmett sitting on throne's one day with crowns on their heads. The scary thought was that Emmett would some day be the patriarch of someone's family if they got married. It was then that Seth came in to take a few photos. I could see Edward waiting out in the hall.
"So how was talking to Rose?" Edward asked.
"Wrong Rose…that was Rosalie's mom." I said.
"Really because the receptionist said…" Edward started up.
"Her name is Rosetta so its close enough to screw up." I answered.
"well what did she have to say?" Edward asked
"Well lets just say that I didn't know Rose was in a woman's mafia. 'my daughter will be the matriarch of the family some day…we've already taken a vote.' honestly Edward it was kind of creepy…there's multiple Rose's" I said.
"creepy…but doesn't Alice's family have the same obsession with the nick name 'Allie' except for the cousin Edwina and Jasper said since her middle name is Alyse they still call her 'Allie'." Edward said.
"True and it did make meeting her family a lot easier… 'Allie…Allie…Allie…Edwina but we call her Allie.' and its on both sides of the family too. The guys side is a bit more complicated but there is a shit load of Nicholas's on her dad's side with the exception of Caius…guess they wanted him to be unique since birth." I said.
" I could just picture Jasper's face meeting them." Edward snickered.
" probably thought it was a psychological gold mind. I'd prefer to think of it more as straight out of a sci-fy movie since they all look like each other and have the same personality too. I've been on their girls day bus trips to the mall…lets just say that when they see a store they like they look like a pack of hungry rhinos running towards their food source. Its even worse when there's a sale. Black Friday is a nightmare." I groaned.
"So I'm guessing next week's going to be crazy then?" Edward asked.
"Why what's next week?" I asked.
"it's the week after Christmas love…did you forget?" Edward asked. Crap with the robbery and everything I completely lost track of time.
"oh love we all forget sometimes!" Edward lightly cackled reading the look on my face. Why I never remembered was because Alice and I never put a tree up. Alice's family always thought that a tree would clash with their living room color scheme so she never had one growing up. Charlie and I stopped having them because my mom left the week before Christmas. Seriously she couldn't wait till the week after. So the last time I saw a Christmas tree was when I was eleven. Its not like Charlie and I didn't exchange…we did…we just didn't want a big monument to my mom's leaving in the living room. I must have had a pained expression on my face for Edward noticed.
"oops I forgot about your mom." Edward said sympathetically. The entire town knew when my mom left…they just didn't know how. It was pretty obvious that Charlie was single after three days of my mom's car being gone. That and the fact that Alice got her gossiping gene from her mom. I was fortunate that Alice kept it to herself that it was a note.
EPV
I had totally forgot that Bella's parents had split up the week before Christmas. I'm such an idiot. It was one of the only facts that I knew about the break up before I got to know Bella. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be if my parent's split up. Especially the week before Christmas. Now I really didn't know her but you'd have to be a complete bitch to leave your family the week before Christmas
Flashback
EPV
I was looking out the window waiting for it to snow when a brand new white Camry with pink lights whipped down my driveway at light speed. Texting was in its infancy at this point so most gossip was spread face to face and the woman who's car was parked in my driveway was the queen of gossip. My mother answered the door.
"Hey Mrs. Brandon!" My mother greeted as a small pixie like woman barged into the house. (Guess that's where Alice got her looks from)
"I have the news of the century. Chief Swan's wife left him. He's single now. I heard it right from the horses mouth…my daughter. Alice wouldn't tell me how though…she clammed right on up." Mrs. Brandon said sitting on the couch. Geez I wonder why!
"oh my god that's awful…they have a kid…that poor child!" my mother said horrified.
"Chief Swan always has me to help. I only have one kid…and girls are easy. I mean all Alice does is talk to me about school mates and makeup. We have such a close relationship! Anyways I bet she was cheating. I saw her a few times getting a little chum chum with some man…I wont name him out of respect for the family but she definitely looked more then friends with him. Anyways from what my Alice said…I don't think it really sunk in with Charlie. The poor man was probably in shock. Alice also said that Bella shut down over it. But I guess that's normal for a child that age. And the week before Christmas too…such a shame. Alice said that half the gifts under the tree went missing…as in she took Charlie's gifts and left. How horrible is that!" Mrs. Brandon said while chomping on some cookies and sipping some milk.
"those poor people!" my mother sighed.
End of flashback.
BPV
Later on that day I had just gotten home to find Alice and Rosalie sitting on the couch together talking about something.
"Bella we have to talk to you about something!" Alice said dragging me to the couch.
"I need your help with something for the party. See the theme is going to be Moulin Rouge and I'm planning two surprises. One you need not be concerned with…but the other involves you so we need you to be on board for this." Alice said gesturing between Rose and herself.
"What is it?" I asked
"Rose and I were thinking and we thought it would be fun to reenact the Moulin Rouge music video. We already have the parts picked out. I already have your outfit picked out!" Alice said taking out a sparkling Bra and underwear.
"What is that?" I gasped horrified.
"Oh its called a bustier…I wanted it to look authentic." Alice said. Rosalie rolled her eyes.
"Alice that's a bra!" I gasped again.
"oh Bella don't freak out…we're going to be out there like five minutes tops and Rose and I are going to be wearing similar things as well." Alice said as if we were just going to head out to a night club and not parade ourselves naked to the entire town. There was no way in hell that I was doing this.
"Absolutely not Alice…I am not dancing practically naked in front of everyone we know!" I refused.
"Bella think about it…Edward's going to be there!" Alice said with that goofy smile she gets on her face when she comes up with the these half baked schemes.
"All the more reason not to do it. I don't think that my boyfriend wants all the guys in town to see me half naked…and for that fact neither does either of yours!" I said pointing between Rose and Alice.
"please Bella…I'll never ask you to do this again…I swear…I just want to make everything perfect!" Alice begged giving me puppy dog eyes.
"Oh what the hell…I guess we'll be able to laugh at ourselves later." I gave in.
"YES! I SWEAR BELLS I OWE YOU BIG TIME!" Alice exclaimed you-tubing the music video and showing us exactly what she wanted. I then looked at Rosalie.
"Rose shouldn't you be with your mom right now?" I asked.
"No…why?" Rose asked.
"Well she was in the hospital this morning…we were interviewing her because she was burned while trying to save a baby from a house fire…I Figured that you would want to be with her." I said. From the look on her face Rosalie didn't know this.
"WHAT! MY MOTHER'S WHERE?" Rosalie gasped shocked. After a few minutes she was able to collect herself.
"Well it does sound like something that my mother would do…so what did you guys talk about?" Rosalie asked.
"Oh about the fire…you came up. Rose I didn't know that you were named after your grandma?" I said.
"Well it really wasn't by my dad's choice. She kind of forced it and my mom went along with it. She was really obsessed with the name. she even forced my dad to only date 'Rose's'…he once brought a 'Rochelle' home and she flipped shit. He tried to say that it was similar but she wouldn't have it. All the girls are named variations of the name 'Rose'
Aunts Rosa, Rosaleen, Rosanna, Roselle, Rosario, and all had one girl with the exception of Rosario who had twins…Rosabelle, Rosanne, Rosine, Rosita, Ros, and the twins Rosemary and Rosemarie. My father knew that was going to happen and he tried to spare me the fate. He argued that I should be named Susan and that he should at least pick my name since my grandmother had been so restrictive with who he dated. Of course my grandma pulled a fake heart attack and my mother felt bad. Dad got to chose my middle name though which is why my middle name's Susan. I really wish he won the argument…I hated being referred to as ' Rose: The next generation, Rosalie Hale 2 and Rosalie jr. she even tried to name my father Rosencrantz just to have another 'Rose' in the family. Grandpa put his foot down though and made her name my father Ryan instead. That way he escaped the curse of the 'Rose' while keeping up with the theme names. Its really confusing when everyone's being addressed. I know that when I have kids I am not naming them anything with an R no matter what my psychotic family says. I feel bad for my dad…growing up with five girls and my grandma all named Rose…he must have had a hell of a time trying to talk to them…'Rose hit me!'…'Which Rose?' what's worse is that my aunts are identical quintuplets so you cant tell them apart." Rosalie said.
"Hey sounds like my family…almost everyone in my family is named Allie." Alice laughed.
"so Alice if you ever had a child what would you name it?" Rosalie asked with this dreamy glaze in her eye.
"Well really thinking about it I would probably go with Alize for a girl and Nick for a boy." Alice said. It figured.
"Alice I thought you said Dolly for a girl and Ken for a boy?" I asked.
"Well I thought about it and Jasper's right about the Ken thing and Dolly Whitlock kind of makes it sound like some weird redneck thing. No I think Alize is better. Keep up with the family tradition." Alice said. Rosalie made a motion as if to say " Alice is crazy"
"So anyways…back to the dance…1234!" Alice said jumping on to the floor.
Alice made us practice every day up till the day of the party. I felt as though I was in a dance class. The night of the party Edward came to pick me up right after Alice was finished with me. I was dressed in a early twentieth century dress and wearing the typical hat. Right as Alice headed to the parking lot to hide the costumes in her car ( she was going to meet Jasper there and take her own car) Edward came into my room. He looked like he stepped right out of the early 20th century.
"So do you know anything about tonight?" Edward asked. The only thing the guys knew was that there was going to be a big surprise.
"maybe…maybe not." I said aloof.
"you know something…don't you?" Edward half demanded.
" I don't know what your talking about!" I said looking away.
"and you say I'm a poor liar…I'll find out sooner or later." Edward said. I don't think in his wildest dreams he could picture what was going to happen tonight. In fact the only guy who knew about it was Seth. Lets just say that Seth was going to play a special role in tonight.
" I'll only tell you this…you wont figure it out in time." I said as we made our way to the car.
"Alice isn't going to do anything crazy right…like anything that does damage to my house?" Edward asked. Since I only knew about our routine and not Alice's other surprise I didn't know how to answer that.
"Well its not in her plans…I don't think." I said.
"well I wouldn't be so sure about that…Alice had a team come in and plant those invisible ropes that they use in the movies." Edward said. Oh my god I hope that Alice doesn't make us use those ropes. She didn't say anything about that but I can barely stand on my own two feet as it is!
"What's the matter?" Edward asked.
"nothing!" I said trying to keep the lie out of my voice. After getting in he turned the car on. Frankly I felt like Cinderella…if only her fairy godmother was a psychotic 20 something year old woman named Alice and her prince doubled as the carriage driver. I knew that I wouldn't loose my glass slipper. Edward rubbed my hand and the electricity pulsed through us. Pulling into his driveway we could hear Alice's "man I feel like a woman" horn honk behind us.
"The best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun!" Alice said swishing her black dress walking with us to the door.
"Oh guys I think I left something in my car…it will only take a second…you guys can go right on in!" Alice said winking and dashing off to her car. Walking in it looked like Alice transformed the place to a French cabaret . There was a bar already set up and serving old fashioned drinks and half the town was already inside the place dressed like they stepped out of a time machine.
"As I said…biggest thing since Lauren's sweet sixteen and I think we topped that." Alice said sneaking up behind us. She then pushed her way through Edward and I and started to cancan dance with the professional cancan dancers that she hired.
"holy shit." Edward said chuckling at my half crazed roommate.
"EVERYBODY CANCAN!" Alice bellowed. All the women and Jasper started doing the cancan. A flashed emanated from Emmett's phone as he pointed it right at Jasper. Knowing Emmett, Jasper should expect that picture to pop up at some point.
"alright Jasper's definitely lost his mind." Edward laughed as Jasper continued to hold up his pretend dress.
"I want whatever he was drinking!" Emmett snickered walking over.
"Actually Emmett…I think Jasper's sober. I haven't seen him with a drink in his hand since we got here." Edward said.
"Rose is acting so weird tonight…I keep on trying to get out of her whatever the hell Alice is planning and all she says is 'trust me Em its good'…and 'you'll have to wait and see.' or 'if you try and worm it out of me again Emmett I'll kill you…now stop annoying me!' Bella you wouldn't happen to know…" Emmett started up.
"Its not going to work Em…she wont even tell me!" Edward said.
"is he starting up again…god Emmett what part of the word surprise doesn't sink through your head. By definition the word means that you are not supposed to know what it is until its sprung upon you. You know what…just shut the fuck up and come dance with me." Rosalie said grabbing Emmett's hand and dragging him to the dance floor.
About an hour later I had noticed that Alice wasn't on the dance floor. Scanning the bar I could see that she wasn't there either. The lights then dimmed.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR…MISS. ALICE BRANDON!" Seth's voice called over a speaker as a huge spot light focused on Alice. She had changed into a glittering silver evening gown and was hanging like 25 feet above the ground on while laying on her side. A huge diamond necklace glittered off her neck and her hands now looked like they were made of diamonds.
"the French are glad to die for love!" Alice sang sexually. The music blared and they ever so slowly started to lower her.
"A kiss on the hand might be quite continental but diamonds are a girls best friend!" Alice sang louder reaching the group of professionals that she had hired for the event grabbing one of their hands and pecking it.
"a kiss on the hand may be grand but it wont help pay the rental …on your humble flat…or help you feed your mrow pussy cat." Alice sang as the group started to swing her around the room.
"What the fuck is this?" Jasper gasped shocked.
"alright who gave Alice acid?" Emmett asked.
"Men grow cold as girls grow old…and we all lose our charms in the end…but square cut or pearl shape…these rocks don't loose their shape…diamonds are a girls best friend!" Alice sang brushing Jasper's face as the group carried her by. They then dropped her off on the stage.
"Tiffanie's…Cartier"
"Cause we're living in a material world and I am a material girl!"Alice sang blowing a kiss to the crowd.
"come and get me boys…oooo…Black Star…Ross Core…Talk to me Harry Zidler…tell me about it"Alice belched out.
"There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer…but diamonds are a girls best friend! There may come a time when a hard boiled employer thinks your…" Alice sang .
"Awful nice!" the male professional dancers belched out. Their tone of voice offended Jasper a little. Someone wolf whistled and Jasper turned around pissed. Alright definitely rethinking the Moulin rouge dance.
"I cant believe she did this!" Jasper said.
"I can." I said. Alice was reveling in the spot light. I had to admit she was actually pretty good. She gave Nicole Kidman a run for her money.
"Cause that's when those louses…go back to their spouses…diamonds …are a…girls…best…friend!"Alice sang jumping off the stage.
"Well what did you think Jasper?" Alice asked meeting up with us again.
"Well when you said surprised I was definitely surprised that's for sure." Jasper said still shocked that his girlfriend did something like that. Well wait till he got a load of her next outfit.
"Girls grow cold as men grow old…and we all loose our charms in the end…but square cut or pear shaped these rocks don't loose their shape…protein is a man's best friend!" Emmett sang coming over and flexing his muscle while looking at Rose's chest.
"I just had my masculinity practically ripped apart in front of the entire town and Emmett's the one who feels threatened?" Jasper laughed.
" What are you talking about Jazz?" Alice asked.
"Oh I don't know…you being carried around by strange men…touching my face right as you sang 'those rocks don't loose their shape' but don't worry I'm not mad. I should of expected something like this when they brought in the see through ropes. What's the other surprise?" Jasper asked.
"Oh common Jasper you honestly think I'm going to tell you…lets just say if you think that was good…" Alice started up.
"Oh Alice your not going to descend out of a disco ball are you?" Jasper groaned.
"They didn't have disco balls in the early twentieth century silly. The next one doesn't require the use of ropes but I think I found some good substitutes." Alice said.
"Now I'm going to go powder my nose…Bella I need your help getting out of this dress." Alice said winking so that no one but me and Rose caught it. She then grabbed our hands and dashed away.
"Alright so I hid everything in mama Cullen's closet. Bella I really do need you to help me get this damn thing off…the friggen zipper goes all the way up to my neck." Alice said as we dashed into the master bedroom. We quickly got changed. as I was staring at myself in the mirror Rosalie approached.
"Don't worry about it…it will be done quick…and Bella its not like your flat chested…if you really want to make yourself look bigger you can use the natural enhancements that Alice brought." Rosalie said reading my main issue. Easy for her to say…she had the body of Aphrodite. Just then Alice popped out of the bathroom two cup sizes bigger.
"Hey I brought some for you Bella!" Alice called happily tossing a box at me.
"at least you guys can sing and dance!" I growled.
"Oh Bella you sing just fine…and we gave you the easiest dance…even you cant screw it up!" Rosalie said.
"yeah…you try doing the cancan!" Alice said.
"you think these costume's are good…wait till you see what Sethy's in. lets just say that I think the girls will be all over him tonight." Alice said as we headed over to makeup. Alice teased Rosalie's hair so it looked just like Christina's. lucky…those two got to wear corset's while I was stuck in a bra. At least their belly buttons were covered.
"Alright lets do a last minute cover…we all come out and sing the first line…then I step forward and sing…then I do my part…then we all sing again…then Bella does her part…then we all sing…..then we all sing again…then Rose does her part…then Bella you know what to say…then I know what to say…then we all sing again…then we do the line dance." Alice said adding the finishing touches to all of us.
"READY GIRLS?" Alice chanted excitedly as we turned towards the door.
EPV
Where the hell was Bella? She was going to miss Alice making a spectacle out of herself again. The DJ that Alice hired called us back to the stage for a special performance. God knows what that little pixie was going to do now. The three of us made our way to the front . The lights were turned completely off. A spot light turned to Seth who was standing by himself on stage with a bow-tie, no shirt, and tight glittering pants. I immediately started looking for Bella. Damn where was she…she had to see this. Emmett was laughing.
"Where's all my souls sisters…Let me hear ya'll flow sisters."Seth sang snapping his fingers.
"Oh my god!" Emmett said still laughing.
"Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister (oh) Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister" At this point a second spot light turned on and I went into shock. It revealed all three girls behind and to the right of Seth. I couldn't take my eyes off Bella. She was smoking hot but I was a little uncomfortable with her standing practically naked in front of the entire town. I automatically knew who picked out those outfits. Jasper and I looked at each other.
"I'm so sorry!" Jasper mouthed.
"OH MY GOD THAT'S ROSE!" Emmett shrieked like he was going to have a heart attack.
"He met Marmalarde down in old Moulin Rouge
Struttin'her stuff on the street" Alice sang dancing forward into the first spot light. She replicated Mya's moves exactly.
"street"Rose and Bella echoed
"She said, "Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?" woah!" Alice belched again pointing at Jasper happily while still replicating Mya.
"Gitchie, gitchie, ya ya da da (yeah-ey) Gitchie, gitchie, ya ya here (here) Mocha Chocolata ya ya!" All three girls sang doing dancing moves that looked like they were straight out of the music video itself. Alice then shimmied her way back .Jasper looked extremely shocked. Emmett was too wrapped up in Rosalie to notice anything else that was going on.
"Creole Lady Marmalarde!"Alice sang in her high soprano voice.
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir …ah, oh! Voulez vous coucher avec moi …Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister hey sister, go sister soul sister flow sister!"the girls sang snapping their fingers. People started to throw money on the stage. Bella then steeped forward.
"He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up …Boy drank all that Magnolia wine…on her black satin sheets…is where he started to freak, yeah" Bella sang doing moves similar to Pinks. Alice even managed to obtain the same props.
"could have been worse…they could of given Bella Lil Kim's line" Jasper said shaking his head.
"ugh since Alice's parents definitely wont take charge and take away her credit cards looks like I have to…I warned them that something like that could happen." Jasper continued on. As Jasper said this Bella stepped back.
"Gitchie, gitchie, ya ya da da"
"da da"Rosalie's boming voice echoed over all.
"Gitchie, gitchie, ya ya here ."
"ooh ooh yah yah" Rosalie added in as they paraded around the stage.
"Mocha Chocolata ya ya (yaaaa)"They all sang together with their bodies moving to the beat.
"Creole Lady Marmalarde!" Bella sang. I had to say that she was really good. Maybe I should add lyrics to some of my piano pieces.
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir (ce soir) Voulez vous coucher avec moi (Yeah yeah yeah uh)" The girls sang snapping their fingers again. Alice started rubbing herself. Emmett was mouthing the words along with them.
"I will definitely be talking to Alice about this later on." Jasper moaned.
"TAKE IT ALL OFF SWEETIES!" a couple of male voices called from the crowd. One was right behind me.
"HEY SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Jasper , Emmett and I roared at the same time. More guys came up and threw money onto the stage.
" Hey guys…this isn't a strip joint…its my house!" Jasper snarled.
"Funny it looks like a strip joint…those definitely aren't ballerina's up there…especially the blond bombshell." the guy behind us said. Emmett turned around like a bull.
"HEY THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND YOU FUCK TARD!" Emmett snarled enraged
"They're all pretty slammin!" Someone called.
"I'll slam you…right into the ground!" I growled as Emmett cracked his knuckles. Jasper was trying very hard not to express any emotion what so ever.
"One more time c'mon"
"Marmalarde" Alice and Bella sang together
"ooh"Rosalie added in strongly.
"Lady Marmalarde" Alice and Bella repeated
"ooh yeah"
"Marmalarde"
"ooh, hey heyHEY " Rosalie added enthusiastically. Holy shit she gave Aretha Franklin a run for her money She then strutted up to the microphone.
"Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth, hey
Colour of cafe au lait (all right)
Made the savage beast inside roar until he cried
More more MORE!"Rosalie belched out dancing just like Christina. Emmett, who had grabbed the guy behind us in the attempt to beat the shit out of him turned around…with the man's shirt still in his hand.
"More more more!"Alice and Bella provided in the background
"Now he's back home doin' 9 to 5 (9 to 5)" Bella sang enthusiastically. Almost all rage in me was put on hold.
"Livin' a grey flannel life" Alice added in proudly.
"But when he turns off to sleep memories creep,
More-more-MORE" Rosalie sang pointing to Emmett. The girls then strutted to the front of the stage.
"Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya dada (da daeaea yea)
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here (ooh)
Mocha Choca lata ya ya (yea)"They sang doing the exact line dance from the music video
"Creole lady Marmalade" Rosalie belched out
"Voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir (ce soir)
Voulez vous couchez avec moi" They sang continuing the line dance
"all my sistas yea"Alice sang
"Voulez vous couchez avec moi ce soir (ce soir)
Voulez vous couchez avec moi"they sang proudly.
"C'Mon! uh"Rosalie sang strongly. Seth then strutted out into the middle of the stage. His pants glittered and blinded everyone.
"Rosaliee!" Seth said turning his head and pointing at Rosalie.
"oh Leaeaa Oh"Rosalie stepped forward and chimed in.
"Bella" he said turning towards Bella.
"Lady Marmalade"Bella added following Rosalie.
"Alice"he turned for the final time and pointed to Alice as she strutted forward.
"Oh Oh oooo" her high soprano voice sang.
"Rot wailer baby...(baby) Moulin Rouge... (0h) Misdemeanor here…" Seth sang as a bunch of girls wolf whistled.
"Creole Lady Marmalade Yes-ah...…" All of them sang together. The girls then made their way towards the stairs.
"ENCORE NUMBER!" a bunch of guys called.
"pigs!" I growled as Emmett roared "HEY!" The stage lights then went black. When the regular lights turned back on the girls were gone. We pushed our way through the crowd figuring that they went to get their clothes back on.
" Guys really…I'm sorry…Alice is definitely going to get an earful from me." Jasper said apologetically as we started to climb the stairs. Knowing that that's what direction they went to when they changed in to the outfits we figured that they were somewhere up there. The minute we went up there I found Bella still in costume. She was waiting for Alice to finish up in the bathroom. Emmett took off in search for Rose…who was looking for a brush to attempt to flatten her hair. Jasper looked and backed off.
"You were…fantastic." I whispered in her ear. Bella turned and looked at me.
"Not as good as Alice or Rosalie Aguilera." Bella countered.
"You always sell yourself short…you were really good…you gave the other two a run for their money." I whispered stroking her face. The electricity pulsed between us…pulling us like a magnetic force towards each other until our lips met. I scooped her up and carried her towards the bedroom. The both of us were laughing the entire way.
