A/N: Hmm… I have nothing to say… thinks…. thinks … Nothing is coming to me, so here is the story, after the disclaimer of course though…

Why Vampires Should Wear Sunscreen
I finished getting dressed, and went down stairs, Edward was sitting on the same couch I had just slept on, he smiled as I came down. Realizing he was watching me, I tired to play it cool and imitate the almost dance-like movement Alice always had, but it didn't work. I started to fall down the stairs.
Before I knew it he had caught me, and was laughing at me, while I was in his arms. "What a nerve you must have to be laughing at me… It's not my fault that I wasn't born with any coordination or athletic ability at all…" He got quiet and then said,
"It wasn't laughing at your inability, I was laughing at your for even trying. I scowled.
"Well if somebody would bite me then maybe I would try and succeed for once!" His eyes narrowed and he seemed to be clenching his teeth a little as he said,
"We are not discussing that on this trip. My opinions on that matter are exactly as they are before, and you know that…" He put me down.
I disagreed with him, but wanted to keep him happy on this trip so I changed the mood with a new subject," So what car are we taking anyway? We can't all fit into any of the cars you have now…"
He gestured to me with his right index finger to follow him through the front door. I grabbed my duffel bag on the way out, and as I went out the door, my eyes beheld the biggest vehicle I have ever seen.
Parked in the Cullen's driveway was a monstrous tour bus. It was one of the ones with a bathroom, kitchen and even a couple of bedrooms. It was a violet color, with some lime green on it too. I was easily ten to twelve feet high, with tinted windows. On the side, there was a white paper banner taped to it that said California or Bust: The Cullen's & Bella. Each one of the Cullen's had signed their own name on it too. I was so wrapped up in the size of the bus that I didn't hear Esme behind us. She was sealing up the glass wall, and then she closed the door, locking it behind her.
"Ready to go guys?" Esme called behind us.
"Just as soon as Bella signs her name." Edward chuckled, I groaned. Why were the Cullen's always such show offs? I signed my name none the less and we all boarded the bus for what was going to be a long day's journey.
"Ha! There's another one Emmett!" I laughed. I was good at this game. We were playing our own little made up game in which you pick a car type and count how many you see on the road. Who ever makes it to one hundred first wins. While all the Cullens had chosen the car they drive, (except for Carlisle and Esme who were driving), yet I had been smart and had chosen the Ford Focus, which was a very popular car.
Here were the standings so far:
1st-Bella: 87 (Focus)
2nd- Emmett: 34 (Wrangler)
3rd- Edward: 29 (Volvo)
4th- Jasper: 27 (Escalade)
5th- Rosalie: 10 (M3)
6th- Alice- 2 (911 Turbo)
"Gosh Darn it Bella! It's not fair! Why do you have to be so good at this game? I am personally going to go and give away 1,000 Jeeps, so I can win, but until then I quit!" screamed Emmett in outrage. He had thought he was going to win this game. Why did all vampires have to be so competitive?
We all stopped playing the game after Emmett quit. His presence had made the game way more exciting than it actually was, but regrettably we all had slipped into a bored stupor. We just sat there looking at each other, until Emmett suggested,
"Hey! I know,
we can watch TV!" Everyone besides me had groaned, and I was confused. What was so bad with watching TV? I asked Edward this in a whisper as the television set detached itself for the roof, and floated down to a vertical position.
"There's nothing bad with watching TV, it's just…"
"Yes?" I pushed him to continue in the same whisper as before.
"Emmett gets violent if he watches anything not fit for children over six years old, and the only channel left after using the parental controls was…" But all of a sudden from the back of the bus started some screaming I
heard
Rosalie scream and Alice and Jasper get up to Scramble for the remote. Emmett turned his back to Alice and Jasper trying to protect the remote, but it was to late. Emmett jacked the volume up as all the Cullen's except Emmett said in unison,
"Not again!"
Emmett got up then and started signing to a song I had never heard before, but it did seem quite annoying. "IT'S… THE…. GREATBIGBOOKOFEVERYTHINGWITH EVERYTHING INSIDE SEE THE WORLD AROUND THIS BOOK IS FULL OF…."
Edward gave me a pair of earplugs as Emmett continued the song. "The only channel left Bella, was Playhouse Disney… and Emmett loves to sing along. He will probably do this for hours, and once he starts there is no way to stop him…" I laughed. Emmett the vampire
with big muscles loves Playhouse Disney. This was sure to be an Even LONGER trip. I laid my head down in Edward's lap as we drove on. I fell asleep to him stroking my hair, even though the windows were tinted, he still sparkled a bit with what sun came through. Next thing I knew I was being shaken awake by Edward saying,
"Bella, wake up my love we have to get on the boat now to take us to our island destination…" He chuckled.
