A/N: I wanted to give a shout out to Angel 1066 for your idea about the girls 'dancing.' I was undecided about doing something similar to that until I read your review. I added it just for you! ;) But I did tone it down just a bit because my daughter (she's eleven by the way) loves my story and keeps sneaking over to the "T" rated stories to read mine. Now, on with the story….


Chapter 6 Switching Moves


EPOV

I was standing at the rail watching the girls dance below when I heard Emmett's voice next to me. "Come on, Edward. I really want to change. Please!" Emmett said in a whiney voice. I have always hated it when he begs. If I don't give in, he will just put in a headlock until I say 'uncle'. He's been begging on and off now since we were in line and he realized I was Rose's costume mate. I don't know what the big deal is. It's not like she's interested in me or what I'm wearing. She's obviously in to him, I don't see why a costume change is so important. Besides, I REALLY don't want to be Peter Pan. And I am NOT wearing tights. But now that the girls were busy dancing, Emmett's been applying the full court press trying to convince me to switch costumes.

"Emmett, I don't need to change to fit with Bella's costume. All I need to do is make it look like she bit me and I could be her 'victim.' Maybe I'll go find Bella right now and ask her to give me a love bite. That would look real enough for the costume." I said making a move as if I were about go down to Bella right then. I admit I was trying to get a rise out of Emmett. However, Emmett was not having any of it. He grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Pleeeeeeease! I'm begging you!" Emmett said ferociously. He was more determined than I have ever seen him.

"You begging? No kidding." I said in my most sarcastic tone. Emmett was starting to really bug me. Suddenly he changed his tactics and turned to Jasper.

"Hey Jasper! You and Alice seem to get getting along really well." Emmett grinned waving him over to the rail. Jasper nodded and slowly walked over to us as he looked warily at Emmett. "How would you like to be Alice's Peter Pan? You could match and everything. I'll even let you have the costume, just in case it comes in handy later for some role playing!" Emmett laughed. I waited to see what Jasper's reaction would be. He seemed like a real nice guy; a little on the quite side.

Jasper chuckled. "Well Emmett, I think we've discovered the real reason why you want to trade costumes with Edward. Are you planning some role playing later tonight with Rose?" Jasper asked raising his eyebrows at Emmett.

"Dude! This is your cousin we're talking about." Emmett said trying to sound shocked and disgusted, but the silly grin on his face told us Jasper was dead on.

"I know, she is me cousin. And it begs to reason that I would know her better than you. Believe me when I say, that is right up her alley." Jasper said with a knowing smile. This, of course only fueled Emmett further so that there was going to be no peace until I gave him what he wanted.

"Emmett, I refuse to be Peter Pan. I will give you my costume, but only if I can be the vampire." I said that hoping to direct Emmett's pleas back to Jasper.

"Jasper?" Emmett said turning to Jasper, wiggling his eyebrows. Jasper looked back down at Alice on the dance floor before he turned to Emmett.

"You're on, but only because I know it will make Alice very happy. But I'm not wearing the tights." Jasper said. I really wasn't expecting Jasper to cave so fast. He must really want to please Alice.

"Well, if we are going to do this, let's do it quick because I don't think I can wait too much longer to dance with Rose." Emmett said excitedly as pushed off the rail.

We headed down the stairs to the restrooms. When we got to the bottom of the stairs we decided to split up in case the girls saw us and got suspicious. As I was weaving my way through the crowd at the edge of dance floor, I caught another glimpse of Bella doing some sexy dance moves with Rose. The smile on her face told me she was enjoying herself as she laughed and talked to her friends. Man she really was beautiful. I was caught up in the way she let her body move with the rhythm of the music. She was incredibly sexy and that vampire costume added to the seductive appeal. Of course, I noticed some of the men around her watching her a little too intently for my comfort. I was suddenly overcome with a need to take care her. I couldn't explain why I had such a strong feeling about someone I just met. I was about to go over to her to protect her from the ogling she seemed to be unaware of, when I caught Emmett out of the corner of my eye, motioning me to get a move on. I rolled my eyes at him and kept moving towards the restrooms. The sooner I got changed the sooner I could get back to Bella.

"Jeez, Edward!" Emmett shouted over the loud music. "You're pathetic. You couldn't even make it over here without drooling over Bella.," he said.

"Look in the mirror Emmie. You're the one who's been begging ever since we got here to trade costumes." I shouted back as to be heard over the loud music throbbing around us. "At least I'm not the sappy one who needs to wear a matching outfit with a girl." I laughed. Emmett just grinned as we walked into the men's room.

As we found three empty stalls, we started to strip. "Hey Emmett, do you need the shoulder pads?" I asked.

"Yeah right!" Emmett snorted. "Like I need to be any bigger. Besides. They're too small for my shoulders. They'd look silly and I don't think your jersey will be able to handle it. In fact, your jersey may never be satisfied with you once it's had me!"

"You're such a bonehead, Emmett!" I laughed.

"Edward, here's the vampire costume. Um, I guess you could return it to Bella who could get it to Rose and then to me later. I'm assuming you are going to get her number?" Jasper asked.

"Definitely." I replied, as I took Jasper's costume. It's a good thing we were similar in build, or this costume wouldn't work as good on me as it did. I was a little worried for Jasper having to wear something of Emmett's, because of his size. However, when Emmett handed me the Peter Pan costume to give to Jasper, I laughed out loud.

"What's so funny?" Emmett said from the stall next door. "Having a hard time dressing? Need help? I could go get Bella to help you with your costume." Emmett started teasing.

"Emmett, this costume looks like a child's costume." I said holding up the now little Pater Pan outfit. "What size did you get?" I asked incredulously.

"I think it's a medium or something. It was the only one left. I figured since it was stretchy, it would work." Emmett said matter of factly. I handed the costume over the stall to Jasper and continued to dress. "Hey Jasper, you sure you don't want the tights?" Emmett called out?

"Nah. This will work fine without them. I'm with Edward in that I do NOT do tights." Jasper laughed. "Hey, this outfit actually fits okay." Jasper said surprised.

"Now that you have the costume on, I guess I should tell you it was probably a good choice to turn down the tights." Emmett said.

"Why?" Jasper said in a suspicious tone.

"Because I went commando, man." Emmett boomed, laughing. The silence from Jasper's stall was a little scary.

"Emmett." I whispered loudly. "Do you still have on the tights?" I asked

"Yeah, why?" Emmett asked

"Because you are NOT going commando in my football pants!" I shouted. "Why in the world did you go commando?" I asked trying to hold in my laughter and failing quite miserably.

"Because with an outfit that tight, you could see my underwear lines." Emmett said, a little embarrassed.

"Ugh! Emmett, you're worse than a girl. Man, I think I might have to do an intervention. Really, panty lines? As if shaving your legs wasn't bad enough? What's next? Getting your nails done and shopping with the girls at the mall? No, wait. How about a lovely spa treatment." I said in between fits of laughter. I realized that Jasper was no longer silent in the stall next to me. He was laughing louder than I was.

As we came out of the stalls, Jasper slapped Emmett on the back. "Emmett. You are sick! Truly sick man! It's a good thing I like Alice so much, or you'd be dead right now." Jasper said as his laughing quieted down to a chuckle.

"Hey, what about our shoes?" Emmett laughed as he looked down at his elf shoes. "I don't think it goes with the jock image I'm going for." Emmett said, showing off his green slippers. We discovered that Jasper's shoes were the same size as mine, so that worked out pretty good. My shoes were a little big for Emmett, but not too bad. For a big guy, he had surprisingly small feet. Hmmm… Because Emmett's shoes were actually elf slippers, there was a little extra room in the toe area to accommodate Jaspers feet. Once we were all set, we quickly left the restroom to find the girls.

As soon as we saw them, we stopped at the edge of the dance floor in shock at the scene we were presented with. Rose was right up against Bella's back. Bella was in the same position as Rose in relation to Alice. Rose had both her hands on Bella's hips to guide Bella's moves to match her own as their hips moved together as one. Bella had her hands on Alice's hips doing the same thing while Alice held her little arms above herself letting them sway with the music. The girls continued to dance this way; it was amazingly sexy. I felt my heart quicken at the sight of Bella dancing with her girlfriends. After a while, Alice broke away while Rose and Bella continued 'dancing' together. I thoroughly enjoying myself as I watched Bella dance, moving her body to the beat of the music, as her hands tangled in her hair.

When Rose and Bella separated and started dancing on their own, I had to calm myself a little as she turned her back to me while she danced, giving me a wonderful of her backside. Her long mahogany hair fell in soft curls down her back. It swirl around her shoulders and face in response to her movements while dancing. I want run my fingers through her hair. Her body was beyond description and the way she moved was intoxicating. I need to be close to her. I quietly slipped up behind her and put my hands on her slender hips pulling her back against me, as I matched the movement of my body to hers.

BPOV

As Rose, Alice and I danced, I couldn't but giggle. I was having so much fun. I was with my two best friends and I had met the most amazing man. And, although I wished I was dancing with him right now, I think Alice needed some girl time. She seems to thrive on that kind of thing.

We danced to a couple of songs, laughing and having a good time, trying new moves and perfecting old ones. We caught a glimpse of the guys heading off towards the restrooms. They didn't go in a pack like women do, but I could tell they were up to something. They were just a little too casual about it.

After another song, Rose noticed the boys coming out of the restrooms and a wicked smile crossed her face. I could tell she had a plan. Rose motioned me closer and told me what she wanted to do. I smiled in agreement, as I danced over to Alice to let her know. Just then, Beyonce's 'Suga Mama' started to fill the room. 'This is going to be so good,' I thought to myself as Alice and Rose just grinned back at me. They knew it too. We loved to turn this song up and dance to it at home.

It felt so natural as I came up behind Alice and put my hands on her hips as I started to move my hips. Alice matched her movements to mine as I guided her hips. Rose came up behind with and put her hands on my hips matching Alice and mine's movements. As we got into the dance, my hands left Alice's hips as I moved then up my body and into my hair and moved my head from side to side. I could see Edward, clearly wearing Jasper's vampire costume, watching me with smoldering eyes. He looked positively hungry. Emmett was watching Rose and Jasper was watching Alice with similar expressions. We broke apart and continued to dance. I had turned my back to Edward to give his a different view, when I felt him press his lean body against my back. He placed his strong hands on my hips as he matched my movements.

At first I just kept dancing, but then I decided to play a little. I looked back at him in fake alarm. As soon our eyes met, I gave him a small smile as I lowered my eye lashes. I reached up behind me and wrapped my hand in his bronze hair on the nape of his neck and pulled his ear down to my mouth.

"Nice costume." I said with a smirk.

"You like it? I was hoping to attract a vampire mate; are you game?" he breathed in my ear, as a wave of anticipation washed over me.

"I'd love to, but sadly I'm taken." I said with a pout. He looked like he wanted to kiss me. I almost groaned out loud when he didn't. The need to have his hips claim mine was almost stifling. "I've promised all my dances to a rather attractive football player. You haven't seen him have you?" I said indifferently, toying with him as I pretended to look for my lost football player.

"Oh. I'm sorry, but I think he was dinner." I purred in mine ear as decided to play along.

"Mmmmm. I bet he tasted good." I said breathlessly acting like I was savoring a good memory. "Too bad you didn't share. I was saving him for later." I said lightly laughing as we started to do body rolls.

"What exactly were you saving for later?" he purred seductively in my ear. The way his body moved against mine created too much of a distraction for to respond. As the music faded into another, much slower song, I leaned myself back into him and let my head fall back against his chest. I felt he hands softly trail up and down my arms causing me to shiver with excitement. We started to sway to the music as he lowered his head to ear and said softly with a small groan, "You smell so good." He slowly turned me around me around as he encircled arms around my waist. I slid my arms up his chest, wrapping them around his neck.

I let out a sigh of contentment, and Edward laughed lightly. "Are you tired of me already?" he teased.

"Never, I could just stay here all night." I said looking at him from under my eyelashes.

"I think we can manage that. I did promise you all my dances." He said, ducking his head down to the side of my face. He started to place a trail of light kisses along my jaw, and I let out a gasp at the touch of lips on my skin. Everywhere his lips touched my skin felt as though if it was on fire. I could feel my heart race and my breathing quickened. When his fiery trail of light kisses reached my ear, he stopped and whispered, "God Bella, you are incredible." His voice was a little rough. "It feels so right with you in my arms." He sighed. The warmest from his breath on my skin spread out through my entire body. My body just seemed to fit into the contours of his perfectly. As he pulled me closer and buried his head in my hair, he inhaled deeply. I arched my back towards him as I laced my fingers through his soft thick hair. I had been aching to do that all night. To be honest I've been aching to a lot more than just run my finger through his gorgeous hair.


A/N: Sorry I didn't get this on out sooner. Occasionally I actually have to do something besides write. My family has been very good to let me ignore them, and my husband has been graciously proof reading this and letting me know if my 'guys' act like 'guys' - horny guys! (That last part about the horny guys is courtesy of my husband.) ;D

OK, It's now time for my personal academy awards speech… I'd just like to thank all those who have made this possible… No really! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, favorites and alerts. I'm a little Verclempt! (sniffle) – SavageWoman
