Author's Note: Thank you everyone sooooo much for all the wonderful reviews! They make me excited to write and post more! I'd like to do individual replies, but I'm not sure if that's allowed or not... anyone know?
IncarnationOfPureBeauty, I love your idea of teacups! If you don't mind, I'd like to put those in. If anyone else has some rides they'd like to see in the story, please let me know and I'll try to get them in!
Chapter 3 – Rosalie's Choice -or- Sure, blame it on the green car
"Well, that was fun!" Emmet said enthusiastically, still throwing glances over his shoulder to see if the ride conductor was still following them.
"Told you it would be," Bella said proudly.
"Yah, yah, time to pick straws again," Rosalie commanded.
Emmet took the straws out of his pocket and handed them to Bella, who mixed them up and held them out.
Emmet's cheerful face wilted as he discovered his was long. Rosalie picked next and discovered hers to be short.
"Wahoo!" She yelled, "Go me! Go me!"
"Please, Rosalie! Let me go first!" Emmet begged.
Rosalie however, was already scanning the surrounding area. It wasn't thirty seconds before an enormous grin spread across her face.
"This way," She said and pulled them to a line.
"Cool," Said Bella, "I thought for sure with Rosalie picking it would be sure to be something that would totally freak me out."
"And Rosalie in a bumper car doesn't freak you out?" Jasper asked dryly.
Bella gulped.
In no time they were in the front of the line. The Cullen's, Bella, and few other kids unfortunate enough to ride along with six very competitive vampires, all got into their cars.
Rosalie beat a ten-year-old in a race to the red one and was instantly out in the bumper car area.
The others boarded their cars and went out to meet her. While the other kids and Bella putted along, occasionally bumping into one another, Emmet, Jasper, and Alice were furiously slamming down on the gas peddle.
"Why" Slam! "Won't" Bash! "These! Cars!" Pound! "Go! FASTER!" Emmet raged.
Bella drove her car along side him and said, "Calm down, you're getting funny looks from the little kids."
Sure enough, he was. From the parents waiting too. The conductor probably would have also, but at the moment he was busy reading a magazine.
"How's Rosalie dealing with this? This probably isn't what she expected." Jasper pondered.
They glanced around.
"Err… where is Rosalie?" Emmet asked.
"There's her car." Alice said and pointed at an empty red car.
"ROSALIE!" Emmet screamed and slammed on the gas, only to be disappointed as it merely started putting along. He leaped dramatically out of his little green car and ran to the red car. He peered under it. "Rosalie!"
The conductor gave him a weird look, and said, "Get back in your car, kid."
"I am not a KID!" Emmet fumed at the conductor, before remembering the more pressing matter at hand.
"Rosalie! Where Are You?"
"Right here!" Rosalie said brightly as she popped up from the floor of the little car.
"Uh… this is bumper cars, Rosalie. Not hide and seek." Edward chided as he passed by, grinning at Emmet's dramatics.
"What were you doing?" Alice asked.
"You'll see." Rosalie said with and evil grin that gave Bella shivers.
Emmet shrugged and went nonplussed back to his waiting car.
A young boy with very bad timing and not a lot of sense chose that moment to bump into Rosalie's car.
"Trying to damage the paint, kid?" The boy was already putting away in his purple car. "We'll see about that." And with that, Rosalie slammed on the gas and unlike the rest of the bumper cars, this one zoomed into high speed action.
"Whoa!" Edward and Jasper said in unison.
Rosalie raced to the purple car and bounced into it, sending it skidding ahead a few yards. The kid's eyes widened, then he hurried away. Rosalie grinned and started speed racing along the edge of the arena. "Scratch my car's paint, will ya?"
"Please stop your bumper cars now! The time has been cut short due to a car going over the speed limit. Please stop your bumper cars now." The conductor said. When his words were heeded, he rushed into the arena to lecture.
But it wasn't Rosalie he walked up to. It was Emmet.
"You!" He said. "You messed up that lady's car!"
Emmet looked aghast. "Me! It wasn't me! It was her!"
Far from looking betrayed, Rosalie was grinning and looking quite proud. "Yes, it was I." She announced dramatically.
The conductor turned to Rosalie and said, "Don't bother to try to take the blame, miss. The merry-go-round guy already told me by radio about you and I saw you working under the car." He added to Emmet.
"But… I… wasn't… me!" Emmet protested.
"Yah, I did it!" Rosalie added.
"You should come with me to see the manager, kid." The conductor said to Emmet.
Emmet took a deep breath and said, " A: I'M NOT A KID! And B: I don't think I will."
And with that the Cullens and Bella ran to the arena edge. They leaped over the fence into the crowd and disappeared.
Author's Note: Hope you liked it! Sorry it was mostly just Emmet and Rosalie. More of the others to come!
