Chapter 36:

Finishing Touches

"Are you sure that goes there?" I asked him.

"Bella, those are eraser markings" I said and blushed brightly at my stupidity. "Okay, we need to get building" I said and he nodded.

"The mechanical stuff has to be setup first" he said and I pouted but nodded.

We spent the remainder of the day building the main mechanism. I was actually able to help him! He would give me a screw and point to a spot and I would screw it in. It might seem stupid but I had never built anything in my life.

Besides, it gave us great quality time.

I loved watching his face as he concentrated intently on something. His face would tighten and his eyebrows would furrow at random intervals. Then he would looks up and when he saw me watching, he would relax and smile brightly as he kissed me.

After about 4 hours of this, he gave in and had me sit on his lap, unable to keep me farther away. I had secretly been wanting that since we started. I was in complete bliss. I would screw the screws in while Edward grabbed other parts and kept attaching them on.

I spent the rest of the time with his chest against my back, his arms reaching around me and his head resting on my shoulder. His hands worked right beside mine as we both built our little revenge machine.

HE would constantly brush his hand past mine purposefully and being playing with my fingers. We were by far the happiest revenge planners on the planet. At about 9pm, we gave in for the night. Instead of getting up though, Edward wrapped his arms around me, bringing me tightly against his chest.

"I love you" he murmured as he kissed my hair.

"I love you more" I countered and he laughed.

"Not possible" he argued and I rolled my eyes, completely disagreeing but knowing that I wouldn't get anywhere trying to convince him.

"You know, we did pretty good" I, staring at the contraption we built.

You couldn't really tell what it was yet, just this huge thing made of metal, wood and screws.

"We did pretty good" he agreed. "Tomorrow we finished this up and prepare the more . . . theatrical aspects of you prank. Then, when they get home, it all comes together" he said evilly and I laughed as I stood.

"Come on" I said as I grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

I probably didn't pull him up but I'm just going to pretend I did.

"Bye Carlisle, Esme" I called as we headed towards the garage.

"Goodnight Sweetie" Esme called.

"Have a nice night Bella" Carlisle said.

"You too" I said as I climbed into the Volvo

The ride was short, as usual, but also quiet. It wasn't an awkward silence, just more like a thoughtful one. Charlie was still at Billy's so I just whipped up a simple grilled cheese sandwich and ate it as I headed up to my room. Once I finished it, I took my shower, washing the metal shavings off of my body. I was just adding my shampoo when the warm water decided to run out.

"Holy crap!" I yelled as I scrubbed my hair frantically.

I washed it off quickly and put conditioner in my hair. The water was quickly going from cold to freezing to practically like ice water. I finished as quickly as I could and jumped out of that torture, wrapping my towel as tight as I could around my body. I dressed in my warm pajamas and brushed all the cold droplets out of my hair. Once I was done, I practically ran from my bathroom to under the covers of my bed.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked as he lay on top of the covers, wrapping them around my shivering body.

"Water . . . warm . . . freezing . . . so cold" I trialed off and he laughed as he brushed my hair out of my eyes.

Between everything that happened and that I did today, my body slowly wore itself out and I found my eyelids getting heavy not too soon after.

"Okay, so what's on the checklist for today?" I asked as I ate breakfast, already at Edward's house.

"Well, first, we have to finish the machines and hang them up" he said and I nodded. "Then, we have to fill up all the canisters and cannons with our supplies. Finally, we have to wait until they get home to add the finally touches" he said and I nodded as I washed off my plate.

"Then let's get to work"

We headed up to his room and got into the same position as yesterday before we got started. Mostly, I did the same thing, screw in screw and hammer in nails, I just really couldn't do anything else. At about 2 o'clock, all the machines were built.

"Now to fill them up" I said.

"I put the feathers in front of my bed" Edward said as he added the finishing touches and I nodded as I went over and grabbed them. I suddenly got a devious idea, making me smirk brightly. I grabbed the feathers and walked normally back to Edward but instead of putting the feathers down, I tilted the bag over, causing all the feathers to shower down on him. He jumped, startled, and then growled playfully.

"Oh, so you think this is funny?" he asked ad he jumped on top of me, showering r me with feathers as well.

He brought his arms down, caging me on the floor.

"Well, if you think this is sooo funny" he whispered as he leaned down.

I thought he was going to kiss me but at the last second, he pulled back and his hands went to my side, vibrating at inhuman speed.

"OH MY GOD! No .NO… NO! Stop!" I yelled between my laughs.

He vibrated faster for a second longer before stopping completely. I collapsed on the ground, gasping. He chuckled softly as he took me into his arms as I tried to get my breath back.

"Look at my room" he muttered and I looked to see that in our little session, we had made feathers fly everywhere, making his room look like it had snowed.

He got up and flew around the room, colleting all the feathers and then dumping them on top of me.

"Now were even" he chuckled and I rolled my eyes as I plucked the feathers out of my hair and loaded them into the cannon. We emptied all the feathers evenly between the two cannons, tucking them away tightly so they weren't noticeable.

"How in the world are we going to hang this up with Carlisle and Esme walking around the house?" I asked as he set the cannons with his remotes and motion sensors.

"Well, they're currently busy with other . . . activities . . . so we should be good for an hour" he said, laughing at my expression.

"Come on, let's get started" he said as he grabbed the big contraption.

I followed after him with the ladder and the drill.

"Wait, won't his weight bring the whole thing down?" I asked as I walked, very carefully, down the stair.

"It would normally but Esme had the roof remade a while ago. There is a layer of wall but behind that is metal" he explained and my mouth dropped. He just shrugged. "She got tired of always have to set a new foundation for the roof every time we demolished it so she just got a huge metal plate inserted. That way, if anything happens, it'll ruin the wall but not the metal base, it really just makes it easier to fix" he said.

I opened up the ladder, cautious not to walk under it in anyway.

"Afraid of walking under a ladder?" Edward asked a smile on his face.

"I'm not very superstitious but it's just to be safe, I don't need more bad luck on top of mine" I said which cause his smile to morph into a full blown laugh as he pulled me into his arms.

"Oh Bella" he said as he shook with laughter. "Let me climb up and then, just toss me the drill" he said and I nodded excitedly.

Here I was, with my amazing fiancé, building our amazing prank for Emmett and we were going to get away with it completely . . . oh the joys of revenge.
