Author's Note: THANK YOU REVIEWERS! Your reviews are so wonderful and fun to read. They make me want to type as much as is possible.

On another note, I'm sure you've noticed the little kid in the story is simply that. A little kid. Very anonymous. I don't even know if the kids a boy or girl! Want to help? You can make up facts about this anonymous kid (example: boy or girl? Name? or any other fun random facts) and put them in reviews. Then I'll try my best to fit them into the story. Please try not to contradict what someone has already stated (example: Second person says a name when the first person has already thought up one)

You don't have to do it at all; I just thought it might be a fun thing.

Also, Thank you to my beta reader, LunarTears

Enjoy!

Chapter 10 – Bella's Choice Again – The Battle of the Paddle

"Emmet! What are you doing?" Alice asked whipping her head around.

"Nothing," Emmet said, taking his hand from his pocket.

Alice narrowed her eyes. "Right…" She said disbelievingly.

They continued their running for a short while. This time Bella had insisted on running also instead of being hauled around. When they were back in the main area, they stopped, Bella panting.

"Straws… Now… Where… to…?" Bella managed.

Edward started making sure she wasn't going to die while Emmet passed the straws to Jasper.

Jasper held them out.

Emmet reached out to pick first. Jasper couldn't help it. He sent a wave of confusion over Emmet.

"AH!" Emmet burst out, causing stares from the others and passers by. "I can't pick! Which one? Which one! Is it this one? No, couldn't be! Why would it be? This one? Aha! This one is the one! No, that's not it. It'll this one! I know it! No wait. That wouldn't make any sense at all!"

By this time Rosalie, Edward, and Alice were staring suspiciously at Jasper.

Bella, however, went for another tactic. Ignoring the Emmet's "I know! It's this one! No wait, that's even more impossible than that one," Bella rolled her eyes and took a straw.

"YAY!" She shouted, showing off her new short straw.

"I don't get it. It's Bella's turn now? How'd that happen?" Emmet said, still taken with confusion.

"Jasper..." Rosalie growled and Jasper let the confusion drop.

Emmet blinked. "Where to, Bella?" He said, "Please not the Merry-Go-Round."

"Hmmm…" Bella thought. This was going to be difficult. Picking a safe and non-life threatening ride that wouldn't earn the wrath of the vampires. Definitely tough. Practically impossible. But wait, what's this. The perfect ride was in Bella's view.

Later

"Am I good, or what?" Bella asked.

"What." Rosalie said.

Bella pouted.

"Ignore her," Alice said, "She's just mad because you can't make it go faster by playing with the engine."

"We can make it go faster other ways," Emmet said, "With paddle boats, you pick the speed." He grinned evilly. "Mwha-"

"No!" Edward shouted before Emmet could finish his 'Mwhahaha'. Then he turned an accusing eye to Bella who had opened her mouth to reply. Bella closed her mouth.

"Move along." The conductor said. "Enter a boat please."

They each chose their own boats.

"What's this for?" Bella said, poking at a long pole on the bottom of her boat.

Emmet frowned in non-Jasper induced confusion and looked expectantly at the conductor for an explanation.

"It's a new idea someone had. If you get tired in the middle of the pond, you pull out the pole and use it to get yourself back here." The conductor explained as though he'd said it before many many times. "So we don't have to paddle out there and fetch you. So we don't leave this line unattended. Because there's this mad villain kid on the loose, see. He causes havoc, turmoil, mayhem, chaos, disorder, confusion and pandemonium." He nodded seriously.

Emmet coughed. "Whoever this villain is, I don't think they'd appreciate being called a 'kid'."

The conductor blinked at him. "Right… Anyway. When the green light flashes you can go paddle using the device in the boat that is powered by pedaling your feet. When the red light flashes, you're to paddle back here or use the pole if you're too tired, got it?"

The vampires, Bella, and the other people in boats nodded sagely.

The green light flashed and they were off, some were off faster than others. :cough: Cullens :cough:

The vampires present skimmed across the pond, fast, but not fast enough to raise suspicion.

Bella was content to go at her own pace, with Edward paddling circles around her to make sure she didn't drown.

But then, Emmet got bored. And we all know what happens when Emmet gets bored. He causes havoc, turmoil, mayhem, chaos, disorder, confusion and pandemonium.

"Yo! Jasper!" Emmet called and Jasper pedaled over.

"What?" Jasper asked suspiciously.

"On guard!" Emmet shouted and in one motion, he had stood up in his boat and pulled up the pole, which he now extended toward Jasper.

Jasper grinned. He stood also and took up his own stick. The two began battling furiously, both trying to knock the other in to no avail.

After five minutes of this, Emmet paused. "I have something to confess." He said seriously to Jasper.

Jasper feigned puzzlement. "What's that?"

"I'm not left handed." Emmet informed him and swapped the stick to his other hand with a manic laugh.

"I have something to confess also." Jasper said.

"Do tell." Emmet said cocking his head.

"I'm not left handed either. Ha ha!" Jasper said, beginning the battle once more.

After sometime, the twosome got bored of simply standing there, so they took to practicing footwork, hopping from one's paddle boat to the other.

Alice paddled close by, and Emmet decided he should jump from Jasper's to Alice's boat, enlarging their space.

Alice did not approve. "How dare you!" She said mock indignantly, standing up.

Emmet jumped back to his own paddle boat, but alas, it was too late. He had incurred the wrath of Alice Cullen.

Alice leaped up, pulling up her own sword…err stick. Alice however chose to add sound effects.

"Vyoom!" She said thrusting her stick forward.

Jasper started laughing manically.

"Vyoom?" Emmet inquired.

"A light saber!" Alice said happily.

"OOOOH! Brilliant! I want a light saber toooooo!" Emmet chanted. He promptly dropped his stick and picked it up again with a "Vyoom!"

Jasper repeated the action.

Jasper and Emmet faced Alice, ready to do battle. They both started, trying to knock her into the water. She nimbly dodged both attempts and swung her own stick.

She knocked them both into the water with one swing. Emmet and Jasper flew off their boats and disappeared into the water.

"I rule!" Alice announced and then turned to confront Rosalie, who questioned her claim.

While Rosalie and Alice competed for the title "Ruler of the Pond" Emmet and Jasper emerged from the water. After watching the two and calling encouragement and advice that ended up helping the opposing side, they grew tired of watching and swam to Bella boat.

Edward stopped zooming circles to observe them.

Jasper and Emmet then proceeded to start rocking Bella's boat.

"Hey! Knock it off!" Bella called to them.

"What's that?" Emmet asked, "Knock it harder?" The two increased their rocking.

Bella stood up and took up her stick and started poking them with it.

"Hey!" They called up at her, but did not cease their rocking.

She leaned forward to swat away their hands from the boat, but lost her balance.

Jasper and Emmet fled the scene as she fell into the water.

"BEEEELLLLLLAAAAAAA!" Edward yelled and started to pedal furiously towards her. Sadly though, his foot missed the peddle and instead made contact with the boat, breaking a whole in its side. Even more sadly, the boat then sank. "This is worse then the Titanic." He mumbled.

Being a vampire, it did not hinder him. He instead swam to her. But he couldn't find her. Edward ducked under the surface and emerged a moment later.

"I can't see her!" He yelled.

Alice and Rosalie glanced at Edward. Then, both thinking of taking advantage of the distraction, swung at the other. They both fell into the pond.

"Help me find her!" Edward insisted before submerging again.

They shrugged and Rosalie said, "Guess we better, cause if she dies, we have to live with a grumpy Edward for only… till the end of time."

So, they all started searching.

Unfortunately, as soon as they all submerged, Bella's head popped up from the other side of the pond. "Hey guys! This is really cool! I haven't had a chance to swim since Arizona! Uh, guys? Where are you?" With a sigh, she went under to search.

As she did so, five head popped up. "Anyone find her?" Edward called out. The other four shook their heads. Then they disappeared under the surface again.

"This could get annoying." Bella said as she popped up again. With another sigh, she went back down.

After the next vampire meet, Rosalie made as if to go under, but then returned to the surface. Sure enough, Bella popped out of the water after only a second.

Rosalie rolled her eyes and gave an exaggerated exasperated sigh. "Don't you dare go under again." She commanded.

"Oh, there you are." Bella said happily swimming over.

A minute later, four heads surfaced. "BELLA!" Edward bellowed as he swam over. "I'd thought you'd drowned!"

"Of course not," Bella said. "Haven't I told you I've competed in swimming before?" At their shocked faces, she concluded, "I guess not."

Then, before Emmet could suggest more paddle battles, Alice noticed what had escaped all their notices for quite some time. The red light was flashing rapidly at them. All other ride riders had returned.

"Oops," Said Emmet.

"Yah, oops," Rosalie said, holding out a mirror to Emmet.

"OH LOOK! I'm me again!" He shouted gleefully, for the makeup had all washed off. "Wait… a second… I'm… me… again… not good."

The conductor had a pair of binoculars and was now shouting.

"ARGH! IT'S HIM! THE KID VILLIAN!"

Emmet started towards the dock screaming, "I'M NOT A KID!"

The other vampires restrained him, and with shakes of the heads, they pulled him out to the other side of the pond, where they took off running, disappearing for the (uh oh, lost count) time.
