Author's Note: Thank you everyone for all the terrific reviews! There have been so many great suggestions for part two of the Cullen's (and Bella's) escapades and I'm going to try to include all of them.

Here's some of the people I'd like to thank for suggestions(sorry if you suggested something and your name isn't here. If that's the case, please remind me):

I've heard lots of different sides about what people like and what they don't. I've heard from one that the little kid bit was getting old. If you agree, please say so, because I don't want to be overusing anything. Thanks. Your comments really help.

Just to be clear, there are no new pairings in this story. Just the standard. Bella's just hanging out with Emmet and Jasper more than normal because I want Bella to be friends with them all, not just Edward and Alice.

Chapter 16

The Showdown or

Bird, plane or Super Bella! or

Normal Day? Of Course…

Bella and Rosalie grinned at each other and Bella patted her bag, still half full of cotton candy. She stuffed another handful in her mouth.

Edward made as if to grab the bag away from Bella, but alas, it was too late.

Bella's eyes widened, a common symptom of too much sugar.

Alice watched Bella cautiously and spoke, not taking her eyes off Bella, "Perhaps, Edward, we should wait until Bella calms down before we take her back to Charlie's. He might… wonder."

"How will we get her to calm down faster? Charlie will be expecting her back soon." Rosalie asked.

"Umm, maybe we should go for a run. How about it, Bella?"

Bella nodded at Alice and took off, running in random zigzags. The others followed, keeping pace easily.

When Bella finally stopped to catch her breath, they were dismayed to see that her random running had led them back to the Ferris wheel.

"Oh no, What if the conductor comes?" Emmet asked, looking excited.

"Then, we run. But, weirdly enough, I don't see him."

Rosalie was correct. The conductor was nowhere to be seen. Neither was any other conductor for that matter. The park was eerily quiet, except for the voice over the intercom warning they would be closing in ten minutes and the noises of the last few people leaving.

"Hey, guys! Over here! Come see what I've found!" Bella waved them over, clearly calmer now.

The vampires approached to see what Bella was gesturing at.

In the concrete, there was a large dent.

Instantly, all five heads snapped to Edward.

"Heh heh?" Edward said.

The others stared, not blinking.

Edward glanced from one face to the other, until he was finally unable to take the pressure.

"OK! OK! I admit it! It WAS me! And I'd do it again! I was merely trying to save Bella," He pouted.

"Awww!" Bella said. "Have some cotton candy, Edward."

Edward gave her a look.

"Oops. Sorry, it's easy to forget sometimes."

"Hmm, About the dent, I don't know. I don't think they'll be able to accuse us. Maybe Emmet. Just Kidding, Emmet!" Rosalie shrugged.

"Okay, let's go then," Jasper advised.

Emmet smiled. "Yep, nothing to see here folks, move along now," He said in a very good imitation of a conductor's voice.

Jasper rolled his eyes and led the others forward, Edward and Emmet beside him, with the girls in back.

Alice stopped, dead in her tracks (sorry 'bout the pun) for the second time that day.

It was a brief vision, and soon over. Alice covered her hand with her mouth.

"That bad, Alice?" Jasper said concernedly.

Alice removed her hand, but clamped it back when a laugh escaped her.

She waited until she was in control once more, then said, "Huddle up! Here's the deal…"

Alice then told her them her vision and the six came up with a plot to go alongside it. Then Alice sent Jasper, Emmet, and Edward off, while Rosalie, Bella and herself perfected the last bit of the plan. The part the other three had not been given the details of, since Edward surely would have interfered.

Time

To

Build

Suspense

'kay, suspense building over.

The time had come. There was no more stalling. Now they had to face the as-of-yet unnamed danger.

"Where is Bella?" Edward asked crossly, while they finished there last minute preparations.

Alice thought about other things while she replied, "She and Rosalie have business elsewhere. No, Bella will not be harmed. I hope."

Edward snarled.

"Just kidding!" Alice said quickly, "And Edward, please stop trying to read Rosalie and my minds. You'll ruin the surprise. You wouldn't want that now, would you?"

Edward shook his head glumly. He did love surprises. So long as it wasn't an undead Bella…

Alice, guessing his train of thoughts by the suddenly furious look on his face, said quite calmly, "And I promise, Bella will still be alive afterwards."

That calmed Edward down, and he stopped trying to pick up on Rosalie and Alice's thoughts.

Now, Edward, Alice, and Jasper lined up in a row, arms stiffly at their sides.

With a gulp, Emmet took his appointed position, at the head of the group, leading them towards the entrance. When they arrived near the entrance, it appeared empty, or it would to the human eye.

But then, out of the shadow of a huge tree next to the gate, stepped out a line of people, who were all very recognizable.

There, in the row, were the Merry Go Round, Bumper Car, Tea Cup, Rafting, Little Roller Coaster, The Drop, Big Roller Coaster, Haunted House, paddle boat, octopus, splash mountain, Ferris wheel, and go cart conductors, all with their eyes fixed on Emmet.

Surprisingly, none looked too happy.

The Merry go round conductor stepped forward, adopting a cheesy fake western drawl as he spoke, "Well, if it ain't that big kid."

"I'm NOT A KID!" Emmet shouted, but the conductor continued.

"It may have been a while for some of us since we last saw you, but we all remember. You cause trouble, kid-"

"SO NOT A KID!"

"-and now, DRAW!"

All the conductors reached to their belts and pulled out… SQUIRT GUNS!

The Cullens, minus Rosalie, who was still off on an unclear errand, reached into their belts and also pulled out… SQUIRT GUNS!

The whole scene looked like some way twisted old western movie.

The water fight was about to begin when all of a sudden, the most unexpected thing happened.

Something dropped out of the trees, and flew wildly around, just above their heads. A person, dressed in tattered robes, was screaming in a frightening way. A banshee.

"GO AWAY FOOLS! HOW DARE YOU DISTURB THE NORMAL HAUNT OF THE BANSHEE OF THE PARK! GO NOW BEFORE I… Before I… uh… line? Oh yes. GO NOW BEFORE I AM FORCED TO TAKE EXTREME AND POSSIBLY LETHAL ACTION! IEEEEEEE!"

There was a stunned silence for a moment. The banshee dived at one. 14 shrieks sounded as the conductors scurried away as fast as they could.

Alice grabbed Emmet arm before he could join them. At her questioning glance, he said, "What! Banshees always scare the socks off me!"

Alice nodded towards the banshee, who was merely swaying slightly now and being lowered to the ground from the tree by a cable.

The banshee's feet touched the ground and she unclipped her self from the cable and walked over to them.

Bella wiped some green paint off her face with her sleeve.

"Whew! That was fun. Rather exhilarating. I think I've found my calling in life. Dare devil! Wahooo! Wow. These robes are hot." Bella pulled the banshee robes off over her head and grinned at the stunned faces of Emmet, Edward and Jasper. The three looked up into the tree. From the tree's branches, Rosalie grinned also and waved, then held up the cord she'd used to make Bella fly.

Edward blinked. He looked about to say something, then changed his mind, and instead said, "Good show, Bella," A cough from Rosalie, now on the ground and he added, "and Rosalie. Though I think, Bella, that you should reconsider about the dare devil thing."

They argued about it jovially the whole way home. They dropped Bella off at her house, Edward promising to be back soon. And then, it was time to face the parents.

At Bella's House

Bella entered the house, quietly, thinking maybe Charlie turned in early, but, it was not to be.

"Bella!" Charlie's voice called from the living room. "Come on over. You're a bit late, aren't you?"

Bella quickly ate a hunk of cotton candy for reassurance. She could not reveal the trouble Emmet had caused today. Then her dad might not let her go again to another park tomorrow, as they had planned on the trip to her house.

Bella entered the living room and Charlie muted the game on TV. (Wow, how ooc of Charlie! Just kidding)

There conversation proceed as follows: (actions are in bold)

Charlie: How was it?

Bella: nervously Fine, just fine!

Charlie: gives Bella weird look ok…

Bella: slaps vibrating hand

Charlie: What'd you do that for? Are you okay, Bella?

Bella: Fine, just fine!

Charlie: Did everything go ok at the park today?

Bella: Just peachy!

Charlie: No trouble at all?

Bella: Hunky Dorey!

Charlie: suspicious look

Bella: Uh, can I go to another park the Cullens wanted to show me tomorrow? Please!

Charle: I guess you could-

Bella: THANKS!

Charlie: ok…

Bella: shifty eyes

Charlie: …

Bella: I'm a bit tired, could I go to bed?

Charlie: Yah, I think some sleep would be good for you…

Bella: darts up stairs

At the Cullens' house

All the Cullens gathered in the living room that night for a chat.

Esme and Carlisle were eager to find out about the day that they had at the park.

(A/N: If you all don't mind, I'll do it in the format I used before…)

Carlisle: Well, how was it!

Rosalie: Interesting…

Edward: Fun

Alice: Terrific

Jasper: Exciting

Emmet: uh… Educational

Esme: surprised educational?

Emmet: I couldn't think of anything else… sob.

Carlisle: weird look at Emmet. How were the rides?

All Young (You know what I mean) Cullens: Fine, just Fine!

Esme: Did you cause any chaos, Emmet?

All: NO!

Esme and Carlisle: suspicious looks

Esme: Did Bella like it?

Edward: Yah, I think she enjoyed it.

Carlisle: You didn't make her go on any thrill rides, did you?

Rosalie: No… I think she liked them. Mutters: at the end

Carlisle: Is there something you all aren't telling us?

Silence: Awkward

Crickets: Chirp

Emmet: somewhat hysterically OK! OK! I ADMIT IT! I HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY!

Esme: no-nonsense tone Emmet, you don't eat peanuts.

Emmet: Yah, cause of my allergy

Esme: No, because you don't eat food…

Carlisle: What are you kids hiding?

Edward: I think I'll go see Bella now… Runs Away

Jasper: There's uh… a movie on TV Alice and I wanted to see

Alice: nods quickly… too quickly

Emmet: Rosalie and I… uh… wanted to see it too! Ta!

All: Run Away

Carlisle and Esme watched their "Foster Kids" evacuate the room.

Carlisle chuckled. "What do you think they've done this time?"

"Nothing worse than normal, I hope," Esme said, unable to keep a smile off her face.

Carlisle mock frowned. "I hope the damage won't cost too much."

Esme grinned evilly (I know, hard to picture), picking up on the joke, "Yes, and then we'd have to make Emmet get a job!"

There was a strangled scream of horror from the TV room.

Author's Note: Hope you all enjoyed! I know some wanted some Edward Bella fluff, but I apologize, I can't really write fluff. But, you can all just imagine it! 'Kay?
