I own nothing. Stephenie Meyer owns all.

Emmett POV.

I could clearly see the look of discomfort and annoyance on Rosalie's face, until it turned into a purely evil smile. What the hell is she up to? I wondered as she stopped dancing to whisper something to Bella and Alice. I looked to Jasper and Edward, confused as I watched each of the girls faces take on the same evil smile. Jasper and Edward simply shrugged at me.

We kept on watching, frowning in concentration as each of them whispered something to the guys, then turned to wave at us. The three of us waved back tentatively. Jesus, what the hell did they say? I guess our brutish strength won't be needed! I began to laugh along with Edward and Jasper as we watched the three guys scurry off into the crowd with fearful looks on their faces.

The girls made their way back to us with smug smiles on their faces while Jasper asked the question I was about to ask. "What the hell did you tell those guys?"

They propped themselves up on a barstool each before turning back around to us. Rosalie shrugged and admitted in a casual manner, "We told them that you were our overly possessive boyfriends."

"And from the looks on your faces, they believed us!" Bella laughed while she ran a finger over Edward's furrowed brow. He got the hint and relaxed.

Hmmmm acting like Rosalie's boyfriend for the rest of the night….that doesn't sound too bad. I mused before I sighed dramatically, draping an arm over Rosalie's shoulders saying in a regretful tone, "I guess we have to keep up the pretence for the rest of the night now that you let that little lie slip…"

Pretending to sound offended Alice said, "No, no, don't put yourself out or anything, we don't want to cramp your style."

We all laughed at Alice's comment. I looked over to Alice in time to see Jasper slip one of his hands into hers. Good man, a little acting never hurt anyone…I then looked over to Edward and Bella who looked perfectly comfortable together. Jeez Louise…these two hardly need to act! I noticed as I studied them. Edward was stood behind Bella with his left arm wrapped around her waist, resting at her stomach; while Bella laid her hand over Edwards.

Rosalie soon drew my attention back to her as she wiggled about in her seat. I dropped my arm from her shoulders while she jumped down from her stool.

I gave her a quizzing look as I asked, "What's up?"

I watched as she smiled wickedly, pointing to the stool she'd just got down from. I heard her order me over the music, "Sit there please…"

I complied and sat down while she slowly walked over and stood right in front of me, between my legs. She whispered me a quick order then turned her back to me.

Jesus Christ, does she want Jasper to kill me? I panicked, but complied knowing that Rosalie's wrath couldn't be much worse. I grabbed her around the waist as she braced her hands to each side of the seat to help me as I swiftly lifted her to my lap and enclosed my arms around her small waist to keep her from slipping.

I could hear the smile in her voice as she thanked me in a sexy voice, "Thank you Emmett, I feel much more comfortable now." As she finished, she sighed and leant back against my chest. Wow…I could get used to this! I realised as I let one hand go from her waist to grab my drink from the bar.

I looked over to Jasper who was looking at me with a strange look on his face. Before I got the chance to panic properly, he nodded at me and smiled before turning back to Alice. Shit! Did he just let me off scott free? I wondered as I drank my cocktail.

The perfect moment didn't last more than a few minutes. The girls began to scream in excitement as the DJ announced over the speakers, "And now, a little remake of the song 'Ever fallen in love' from a band called 'Thursday'!"

In seconds the girls had all vanished and were merged in with the crowd of bodies, somewhere in front of us. Edward and Jasper made their way over to me. I asked, "What the hell was that about?"

I watched as they grinned at each other then back to me. Edward rolled his eyes, while Jasper crossed his arms saying, "It's their song…..ever since I can remember, they used to go crazy whenever that song came on."

I shook my head thinking, I'll never understand women… when someone far across the room caught my eye. Tyler, the pizza boy dressed as a mummy.

I pointed him out to Edward and Jasper and the three of us laughed as we watched his pathetic excuse for dancing with some half cat, half lion.

Edward calmed down enough after a minute and said, "The other guys Mike, he used to go to the same schools as us and everything. He hasn't changed, he's still a dork."

"Thank God that those two are far away from the girls, they could take an eye out with their dancing!" Jasper laughed out as the three of us watched them flailing about.

Bella POV.

O MY GOD!!! The smile on my face must have made me look crazy, but I didn't care. I noticed that Alice and Rosalie had the same crazy look on their faces too.

I felt Edwards arm reluctantly drop away as Alice pulled me forcefully out of his arms. By the time we were on the dance floor, all giddy from our childish excitement, I felt bad as I realised that I had rudely left Edward. O well, he knew what this song did to us! I rationalised as Rosalie grabbed one of my hands and pulled me to her in some sort of mock ballroom dancing move.

The song was past half way when I felt the first surge of unease pass through me as someone passed closely behind me. What the hell? I brushed it off and carried on dancing. The feeling of unease didn't completely leave me but I guessed that I was just being paranoid.

Get a grip Bella! I laughed at myself for acting so jumpy. A few more seconds went by until I felt someone roughly push into my side. I slightly lost my balance and knocked into someone next to me, but thankfully didn't fall over. I apologised to the guy and took a quick look around me for anyone suspicious, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. I closed my eyes and took at few deep breaths to pull myself together while every one else moved around me.

I shivered then completely froze, from head to foot as I felt the something slip under my jacket at the back of my neck. Turn around, look for whoever did this!! My mind screamed while I remained still like an ice statue. Finally I thawed and felt for whatever slipped at my collar and pulled a small piece of paper out. I looked for Alice and Rosalie. I spotted Rosalie a little to my right with the same small paper in her hand too.

Rosalie lifted her gaze to me and saw my paper. We both looked away, searching for Alice. She was already ahead of us making her way to the bar. Rosalie took hold of my hand as we pushed through to get back to the guys and Alice.

We eventually made it to the bar. I could see Emmett and Jasper studying the piece of paper that Alice had received, while Edward held her in a protective hug.

Rosalie was immediately crushed into Jaspers chest once he'd realised that she was there, while Emmett held me in a half hug, while he studied my note and Rosalie's.

"Too easy? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Emmett growled out. I could hear the anger in his voice.

"Let's head for home guys…we'll talk about it when we get back…" Edward said in a half pleading tone as he scanned the place. We all complied and hurried out, walking together as one.

As we walked home Rosalie, Alice and I explained our identical stories of how someone walked up behind us and slipped us the notes. I could see the fury in the guy's eyes. I just felt fear at the fact that the stalker had been stood right next to us.

I didn't even realise that I was shivering until I felt Edward put his coat onto my shoulders. Emmett and Jasper soon followed suit. I smiled slightly as Jasper and Emmett fumbled around to give Alice and Rosalie their jackets. Jasper had to give his to Alice; because Emmett's big vampire cape would have been dragging behind her.

Edward POV.

Within ten minutes everyone was sat on the sofas, except for me. I was pacing a hole into the floor behind the sofa that Bella was sat on. Emmett, Alice and Jasper sat on the other sofa while Rosalie sat on the floor next to the coffee table.

"What are we going to do now? The notes don't give us any clues, except for the fact that tonight was 'too easy'...whatever that means." Jasper said as he rubbed his forehead uncomfortably and tossed his fake glasses onto the coffee table.

"It means that we weren't watching the girls close enough tonight. It was 'too easy', that creep could have done worse, and we wouldn't have seen any of it." I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose. The anger and fear within me was taking its toll. I was getting stressed.

"Edward, could you please calm down, nothing happened, and we'll be more prepared from now on." I heard Bella plead from somewhere beside me. I felt a warm hand capture mine, causing me to halt my pacing. I turned my head to the side to see Bella leaning over the back of the sofa, clutching my hand. I gave in and sat down beside her.

"How about we go to the police?" I heard Alice ask pleadingly while she fidgeted with the Jaspers coat that she was still wearing.

"No point. They'd only send us away due to lack of evidence." I said as I leant my head back to stare at the ceiling above.

Silence came over the room until Emmett declared confidently, "That's it, guy's we're just going to have to stick to the girls like glue from now on. That creep will have to get through us first, and we aren't going to let that happen!"

I agreed with Emmett and automatically reached my hand over to grab hold of Bella's while Alice asked in a confused voice, "So does that mean that if I want to go shopping, one of you three have to come with me?" I could see the mischievous twinkle in her eyes as she asked.

"Yeah sure," I answered, "Jasper will go with you, he's had enough training in the field." I could see the look of horror on Jaspers face at the idea.

"No way! I have to work in the damn mall; I'm not going there in my free time as well!" Jasper whined as he shook his head.

"Ha-ha, you loose!" Emmett laughed as he got up and stretched. "If this is all nice and sorted, may I go to bed? I need my beauty sleep…" he asked as he slowly headed to Bella's bedroom.

"Yeah, go to bed Emmett! I need you alert and productive for work in the morning!" Rosalie called out as she got up. She collected the letters from the coffee table and slipped them into a folder on the bookshelf behind her before heading to bed.

Alice got up next while ordering Jasper, "Go to bed, get some sleep okay? We need to sort out some stock tomorrow….Ooo and there's that new clothes line coming in too!" she finished before handing Jasper his coat and closing her bedroom door, while Jasper headed to Rosalie's door, dragging his coat, looking doomed.

"Come on…" I began as I stood up. I realised that I was still holding onto Bella's hand so I held on tighter and pulled her to her feet. I saw her yawn as I lead her towards Alice's room.

"See you later alligator." I heard her mumble out as I let go of her hand and opened the door to the bedroom.

I smiled at her farewell before I said back, "Not for a while crocodile." I caught her smile as she turned to close the door to Alice's room.

Reviews please! Fireworks night coming up next!!
