AN: Has it really been that long since I last updated? *horrified face* I am sosososossososo—in other words really—sorry about that. I could give you the excuses that I'm behind with my cross country training and am trying to catch up, the fact that I'm on vacation in Florida (woo woo), or that I have eight thousand tons of summer homework, but none of that matters does it? 'CUS I FREAKIN' JUST NEEDED TO TYPE A TWO HUNDRED WORD CHAPTER! I AM SORRY! EVERYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW LAZY I AM SO I CAN THOROUGHLY BE DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF!
Disclaimer: I am going to show off my laziness by skipping over this.
Edward POV
"We'll convince her. Won't we, Polly?" I asked, petting the bird perched on my shoulder lovingly, listening to her coo in response.
She tilted her head and flapped her wings. "Bella! Bella! Pirate!"
I laughed at her squawking. She was completely right. I swore that my parrot was secretly a mad scientist when she wasn't with me being a pirate bird. "Yeah, I know that Bella's a pirate, but how are we going to convince her of that?"
Polly tilted her head from one side to the other in a fast motion, folding her wings back against her body. "Bella! Pirate! Get Bella!"
I was stunned for a moment. How had a parrot come up with such a genius plan when I was left unable to think of what to do next? It was astounding. Groundbreaking. Impossibly possible. "You're right, Polly…" I trailed off, my voice filled with every ounce of awe I was feeling. "There's only one thing left to do." I looked straight into Polly's curious eyes. She opened her beak and let out a light shriek, urging me to continue. "Polly, the only thing we can do now is go after Bella. We're gonna capture her. We're gonna show her she's a pirate…by force."
