Hidden Aces Chapter 38: Pranks and New Names, a twilight fanfic

A/N: The song in this chapter is brought to you by Poison By Alice Cooper. And Luna. Look out American Idol! There is a new act that will blow you away! :) I don't own this song, and I don't own Dusturbia by Riri that was in the last chapter.

Anyway, I am happy... Happy little Cullen girl! I got Colours for First Aid at school. :) This is a huge deal and it even has it's own privileges, like a pretty new blazer in white! Good bye brown, hello standing out from the crowd! So show your love for hard work!

And finally, to my reviewers. You guys rock ;) Drop me a line and Luna will be going home sooner. Maybe. Or not. Wait... Does she go back? Maybe not.

Luna's Point View

I couldn't hide the fact that I was crying. Not from the vampires in this house. Today was a bad day to wear mascara. I was sure I looked beautiful with the black smudges trailing down my face and my eyes being red and swollen.

In a few hours Esme would come down again and cook something that smelt amazingly good. I would have eaten it, but the problem is I felt too sick to eat. Instead I pushed the food around on my plate, my mind millions of miles away. Edward would take the food away after a while and put it in the fridge in case I wanted it later. But I never did want the food.

At night I curled up in the bed, too tired to fall asleep. When I did sleep, I always woke up screaming. Jasper took a spot next to my bed some night, trying to calm me with his crazy power. When Edward stayed, he sang the whole night. Nothing helped, and I could feel myself fading away.

I was in the living room, standing alone by the glass window. I could feel the vampire eyes watching from all around me. Emmett and Jasper were out in the forest. Esme was behind me. Carlisle and Alice were on the steps. I sighed, too sad and tired to care.

My eyes welled up again and I felt the salty tears on my hot skin. All the crying made my head hurt and I felt sick. I wanted to sleep for the rest of my life, but I was afraid of the dreams. I had no idea what to do.

Suddenly I heard the soft notes of music. It was a tune I recognised, one Edward often played. I turned, seeing him at the piano.

"Teach me?" I asked.

Edward moved over and I sat next to him. My body felt so hot that I leaned against him, craving the icy cool of his skin. I knew I was at normal wolf temperature, but I still felt overly hot. My eyes watched as Edward played the notes, the intricate pattern of the melody. My fingers raised to the keys and I began to play his tune. Edward corrected me a few times, but after the third try I almost had it perfect.

"I think that's enough for a day." Edward said.

"But..." I tried to argue.

"When was the last time you ate?" He asked.

I shrugged. "Yesterday?"

"Come." He said, taking my hand. "Come hunting with me."

"Ew!" I complained. "I don't like blood."

"Then just come with. You don't have to eat." He encouraged.

I shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

Edward lead me outside and we began to run. The pace was exhilarating, and for a while I felt free. Once Edward had chosen a spot to hunt, I found a rock and sat down. Edward ran off into the woods and when he returned a while later, his black eyes had turned gold.

"Finished?" I asked.

He chuckled. "Race you home."

I bit my bottom lip, holding in a smile.

"Come on!" Emmett whined. "Just eat it!"

I giggled. I couldn't help but laugh and the huge vampire.

"But I'm not hungry." I complained.

"Werewolves are always hungry. Girl, you're getting so thin." He teased.

We were alone in the kitchen. Esme was off somewhere and the rest of the family had made plans. Some were out hunting, others doing school work or things around the house. Edward had gone off to see Bella.

"I'm the excepting for the rule!" I chirped.

"Yeah, yeah." He teased me again.

I couldn't help but like the dark vampire with his childish good looks and wicked sense of humor.

"Go away." I moaned. "Let me eat in peace!"

"I have a better idea!" Emmett chuckled. "Let's play a prank on my family."

"What do you have in mind?"

This was a stupid idea. We were going to get into so much trouble for doing this. I decided to screw everything and just go alone with the prank.

I listened as the heavy rock into cued me in. I walked down the stairs, my hair hidden under a multi coloured wig. The fake hair was lumo blue, pink and green. There was a little red and the top was styled into a messy Mohawk. Emmett was on the other side of the room, his black hair covered in a short, lumo pink wig. I tried not to laugh as I saw his family give us odd looks.

"Your cruel blood, like ice. One look could kill. My pain, your thrill." I sang into the mike.

There was weird club lights and a smoke machine set up in the Cullen living room. It added to the affect.

Emmett and I sung the chorus together, and I tried not to laugh at the irony of the lyrics.

I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains
"Your mouth, so hot. Your web, I'm caught. Your skin, so wet. Black lace on sweat." Emmett sang alone, and I was surprised by how good he was.
I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (And pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (Deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison

We carried on until the last instrumental part began. Emmett danced a rocked out waltz with me, and I was sure it looked amazing.

I rocked out to the song, dancing to the beat. The colours from my wig were bouncing everywhere. Emmett spun me and dipped me. His lips were moving towards my neck as he held me a few inches off the floor. I had hidden a vile of blood in the shoulder of my black lace dress. Emmett bit into it and the blood dripped around my neck.

"Oh my word!" Carlisle said. "What have you done, Emmett?"

I dropped to the floor, pretending to be dead.

"Thank you!" Emmett said and bowed.

The Cullen family came over to make sure I was fine. Emmett gave me a hand and helped me stand up. I was laughing hard as I took in each face.

"Legend!" I said, giving my new brother a high five.

"You are a goddess," Emmett said. "Be my Partner in Crime?"

I laughed an evil chuckle. "Always."

Behind me, Edward rolled his eyes. "Oh wonderful."

"Do you know what this is?" I said, holding up the jar.

"No, Bonnie." He said. "What is it?"

"Well, Clyde." I said with a wink. "This is Vaseline. It's really greasy and really hard to see. It takes for ever to get off, even if you wash your hands."

"So, Bonnie." Emmett asked. "What have you done?"

Edward walked into the room where we were sitting.

"Luna!" He yelled.

I smiled. "Luna no longer lives here. My name is Bonnie."

"I know you did this!" He said. "I can see it in your mind."

"I did what?" I said. "Edward! I am offended you would think so low of me."

"Luna, it's on every door handle in the house."

"So?"

"And on my Volvo."

"And?"

"Clean it up!" Edward said before he headed to his room.

I shot Emmett a serious look and he gave me one back.

"Five, four, three, two..." I said.

"LUNA!" I heard Edward yell.

Emmett and I could no longer hold in our laughter.

"Good one, Bonnie." He said. "Where did you put it?"

"Maybe on every surface he would touch. Including his piano keys." I laughed. "Point one to Bonnie and Clyde. Zero points to Edward and the rest of the Cullen's!"
