This was originally supposed to just be a one-shot, but I had a couple of requests for more. Again, it's random fluff.
Please R + R even if you hate it!
Track Star Part 2: Mike's Evil Plan
BPOV:
"So, today's your first track meet. Are you excited?" I asked Edward as I was getting ready for the day. It's Saturday, and Forks High School has a track meet scheduled for 12 noon with West Creek High. Luckily, according to Alice and the local weather forecast, it would be a dreary,
over-cast day. There should be no risk of sunshine to give away Edward's secret.
"Yeah, I'm soooo excited" his velvet voice mocked me now.
"Well you don't have to show up." I didn't really mean this, but still, I wanted to see his reaction.
"I have to!" he exclaimed with exasperation. Then quickly, he said "I mean, it wouldn't be right to let the team down."
"Nice recovery," I laughed. He jumped out of the chair in my bedroom where he had been sitting and crouched down in front of me as if he were ready to pounce. Then, he did. I flew back onto my bed and Edward landed on top of me. We playfully wrestled around in a fit of laughter for the next couple of minutes, then he straightened up quickly and headed toward the window.
"Charlie's coming. I'll see you at the track meet" and with a quick kiss, he fled. Charlie had gone fishing early this morning, but promised he would be back in time for the track meet. I was surprised he wanted to go and I wondered if that made Edward nervous at all. Probably not. Less than one minute after Edward flew out the window, Charlie pulled into the driveway.

"But Edward, you can't go to your first track meet with your hair like that!" I looked at Edward's messy locks with horror.
"Alice," he rolled his eyes, "please be reasonable. I'm not Bella, you know."
I pouted. "If you don't let me comb your hair, I will tell Bella you said that!" Yes! I got him! And sure enough, with a heavy sigh, he sat down and handed me the comb.
Just then, I had a flash and started to laugh uncontrollably. Edward looked at me with disdain and probed "What's so funny?"
"You'll see," was my giddy reply.

"Mwaahaaa, this will be so great" I said like a mad scientist. I had just arrived to the school and headed toward the locker room to change.
"Hi Mike," Coach Carr greeted me. Then louder to everyone in the locker room "Warm ups are in five minutes, don't be late." I glanced around. There he was... Cullen. I sneered at him, but then I brighted as I remembered once again about my evil plan. I quickly changed, then grabbed two bottles of Gatorade from my bag. They were identical except for a sticker on the cap of one. I needed this there to distinguish between the regular one I planned on drinking and the tainted one I would offer Cullen. I removed the sticker now and kept this one in my right hand.
I had been up late last night, watching Dumb and Dumber on TBS. As soon as they got to the scene with "Turbo Lax," my bright idea was born. This would serve two purposes. One, I would be the Track Star again since Cullen wouldn't be able to run after he drank my special Gatorade mixed with a large quantity of fast acting laxitive mixed in, and two, maybe Bella would be so disgusted with him, she'd leave him. I knew the second one was a long shot, but I guy could hope, couldn't I?
"Hey Cullen, wait up," I called after him now and jogged to catch up with him. "I have an extra gatorade and you know how important it is to stay hydrated when we run so much. Here." I held out the special Gatorade with my right hand.

So that's what Alice had been laughing about, I thought as I watched Mike Newton remove a neon colored sticker from one of his two bottles of Gatorade. I could hear his thoughts clearly and I snickered to myself at his plan. I got up and started to walk out toward the track.
"Hey Cullen, wait up" Mike called after me now. He launched into some speech about staying hydrated, and I took the bottle he held out to me with his right hand. As I reached out for the bottle in his right hand, I brushed up against his left so that his bottle fell to the ground.
Since I am much faster than he is, I picked it up for him and handed it right back. So quickly, that there was no way Mike witnessed the exchange, I switched the two bottles.
"Hey, thanks a lot, Newton" I smiled at him. "Let's see who can finish first" I challenged, knowing he wouldn't be able to resist. We both untwisted the cap and chugged. I let him win this, since it would be the only thing he would win.
"Let's go!" and we walked out to the track, Mike beaming by my side, his thoughts screaming with delight.

"That was awful" I remarked to Edward after the track meet. He had won the three events he participated in, which was the good part. The awful part was when Mike Newton had an accident in his track shorts during the 100 meter dash.
"I've never seen such a thing" Charlie said while shaking his head. "The mess that was all over the track... yuck."
"Dad, please, let's not talk about it anymore. Poor, Mike." I was embarrassed for him.
"Yeah, poor Mike" Alice chimed in. She and Edward exchanged a look and then burst out laughing.
