Let It Snow
Edward POV
"What time is it? Summer time! It's time for vacation! What –"
"Emmett. Enough. With. The. High. School. Musical," I growled.
He shrugged. "Hey, I'm just getting ready for the High School Musical 2 show for next year."
Bella shot up and shrieked. "NO! NO MORE MUSICALS!"
I quickly wrapped my arms around her. "Don't worry, Bella, we are never doing any more musicals. Ever. Again."
Emmett coughed. Whipped. I tossed a cotton swab at him. "Go fetch." Emmett barked – yes, he barked – and ran off after it.
Esme shouted from Carlisle's study, "When Emmett gets back, have everyone get in the living room for a meeting."
When Emmett finally came back (after returning from West Africa, so he claimed), Carlisle and Esme came, holding brochures.
"It looks like they've finally discovered a way to keep the outdoors nice and snowy during summertime. They're trying it out at Seven Springs Resort in Pennsylvania," he announced.
Alice jumped up and squealed. "OOH! Now we can go shopping for skiing clothes!"
Bella groaned and slammed her head against the couch.
For some odd reason, Alice color-coded all of us – jackets, pants, boots, goggles, snowboards/skis, you name it. Bella was blue. I was green. Alice was pink. Jasper was gray (he never really got over the fact that the South lost…). Carlisle was black. Esme was purple. Nessie was white. Jacob was orange. Rosalie was red. Emmett was yellow. With sparkles. And glitter. He picked the design.
But Alice cancelled his order last second and got just plain yellow. Shame, Jasper and I were looking forward to mocking him.
We got the largest suite there. There was a table there where we could play poker. Or Russian Roulette. With real guns. Good times, good times…
We got there early in the morning, so we were set to ski as soon as enough people were out on the slopes.
When we reached the edge of the snow, Alice whirled around, tapping her foot. "Does everyone know how to ski or snowboard?"
Everyone nodded, except for Bella and Nessie. Jacob nodded, but he was lying.
I actually can't ski or snowboard, but if I tell them that, they'll never let me live it down – oi, Eddie boy, STOP LISTENING!!! Or I'll be forced to use mental images of your daughter's and my honeymoon!
Oh. That is just sick. I grimaced and quickly ducked out of his thoughts. Alice was giving Bella and Nessie an impromptu skiing lesson. "Do that, and you turn right. Do this, and you turn left. Do this, and you slow down. Do this, and you speed up. Got it? Good!"
Bella and Nessie had bewildered expressions on their faces. "I'll just wing it," Bella muttered.
Well, it turns out that Bella and Nessie are naturals at skiing. And Jacob? He just plain sucks. At both sports. Imagine this: Stand. Fall. Stand. Fall. Stand. Fall. Stand. Fall. Stand. Wobble. Fall.
Emmett cleared his throat. "I HEREBY CHALLENGE ALL CULLEN DUDES TO A SNOWBOARDING RACE! This includes Hales and Blacks."
Alice tried to get a vision of the winner. All she – and I – could see was white, white, and more white.
"Us girls will ski alongside you!" Alice said excitedly. "Come on, let's get on the ski lift."
Mental note: never again let Emmett on a ski lift while in possession of Mentos.
We were sitting in pairs – by couple, of course. Emmett found a few packs of Mentos left by another person who'd sat on the seat.
Those poor, innocent skiers never had a chance.
"FEAR ME! FOR I AM THE MECOT SWABTO KING!" Emmett screamed.
"The what?" I asked in disbelief.
"Combination of Mento and cotton swab. Duh." Emmett rolled his eyes.
We all got off the ski lift. Emmett smirked. "First one down?"
"First one down and best tricks," Jasper corrected.
"Deal." The five of us guys shook hands.
Esme waved. "Go!"
We took off. Well, not Jacob. He fell. Just before he disappeared from view, I saw him lying on his stomach on the board and pushing himself down, like a penguin.
This slope was practically made for us. There were rails, and it was even designed like a half pipe.
Emmett let out a whoop and did an Ollie (AN: an Ollie is a jump). A very, very huge one. He was practically a third of the way down now.
I zipped down the snow tunnel and angled my snowboard. Now I was riding upside-down. Awesome.
Carlisle did an Alley Oop. As he went uphill on the half pipe, his board lifted off the surface and turned 180 degrees.
Sadly, for me, Jasper had us all beat so far. Backside 720. In other words, he did two complete spins in midair. But I must admit, it looked cool.
We started catching up with Emmett, who was using his unfair advantage of superior strength to push himself down.
We were almost to the end when Emmett started celebrating. "We are the champions," he sang as he kept going down. "I'm going to win! I'm going to win! I –"
He was jumping up and down when he fell. Jasper, Carlisle, and I passed him.
"Slow and steady wins the race," Jasper said, amused.
"Even though vampires are supposed to be very fast," I pointed out.
Carlisle looked a bit anxious. "Um, boys, I think you should look behind you."
The first thing I noticed were that the girls were staring in horror. What was happening? Then I saw it.
It was a gigantic, fluffy, white snowball rolling our way. And we could see Emmett inside of it, screaming like a freaked out little girl.
"AAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screeched.
The three of us swore and tried to duck.
Too late.
Now there was a huge, fluffy white snowball with four vampire men inside of it, rolling down a giant ski slope.
"EMMETT!" I roared.
"Yes, Eddie?"
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"I SECOND THAT?" Jasper hollered.
"I'M DEEPLY CONSIDERING IT!" Carlisle yelled.
"Fudge," Emmett muttered.
Then a second Big Band occurred.
Nah, just joking. But it was close. Very close. The snowball smashed against one of the walls of a ski lodge, shaking the whole place.
I rolled over and sat up. Carlisle was pulling himself out of a snowdrift. Jasper had left a slight indentation in the wall where he had smashed against. And Emmett was tangled in a giant pile of skis and poles, so that all you could see was his behind. Not exactly the nicest view.
Unless you were Rosalie.
"YAY, GO JACOB!" I heard Nessie cheering. The three of us vampires who could stand turned to look.
Jacob was still on his stomach like a penguin as he crossed the finish line. He sat up. "So who won?" he asked us.
The girls made their way down. "You won," Nessie told him.
His jaw dropped. "Huh?"
Alice looked a bit hyper. "Yeah, see, because at first, Emmett was winning, but then he got cocky so he fell, and the others got ahead, but then Emmett turned himself into a giant snowball and the others got caught in it, and they smashed against this wall, and since the winner has to actually cross the finish line while on their snowboard, you're the only one who qualifies, so you're the winner."
Jacob still looked confused. "So Emmett got magical powers that turns himself into a snowball?"
Nessie slapped his head. "Stupid."
Emmett finally got out of the skiing supplies. "No fair, I was supposed to win," he complained.
Jacob looked smug now. "Well, too bad. I won. HA! I'm better than all of you."
Alice now frowned. "Excuse me?" The girls all turned to glare at him, with the exception of Esme, who was brushing snow off of Carlisle.
Jacob looked scared. "Uh…"
Ah, this is going to be very fun to watch.
So I have some very important notices. First, which one for next chapter: Cullens go to Hawaii in Bella POV, Cullens in space in Rosalie POV, Cullens have a who-can-make-the-biggest-gum-bubble contest in Jasper POV, Cullen girls give the guys a surprise in Carlisle POV (depending on what I think of, this can be the prize the guys get from the contest), Cullens go golfing in Emmett POV, Cullens take ballet lessons in Alice POV, or Emmett says a whole bunch of stuff about the South that makes Jasper want to kill him in Jasper POV. OH! And normally, I'd say vote on the poll in my profile, and you SHOULD, so vote on it. But you see, I've been thinking of a whole bunch of other story ideas that are not on the poll, but I've been typing them anyway. And I've finished one of these stories. Here's the summary:
When Esme Platt moves to Forks to escape her abusive fiancé, she didn't expect to fall in love with the mysterious doctor. But what happens when said ex-fiancé shows up?
So it's really a story where Esme and Carlisle take Bella and Edward's place. I've finished all TWENTY-FOUR chapters and am planning a sequel. It is not posted yet, but if enough people say they want to read it, I'll post it very soon. NO TAKING MY IDEA!!! I really want to post this story, so please, tell me what you think!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! And if I don't post it, I'll try to send an excerpt of it to people who do want to read it. If you really want to read it, feel free to spread the word. But please, don't take my idea. It makes me feel sad :-(
