Alice and Emmett: Except for Amanda and Andrew…they belong to Team Cullen-Hale!
Alice's POV
"Wait, what?" all of my family asked, confused. I sighed and thought of the vision again so that Edward and Amanda could see it. My vision had been about Carlisle and Esme asking Amanda and Andrew if they would like to join the family and the story that they would decide on for the public.
"Ahh…" Amanda and Edward said in sync. A smile spread across their faces, and Amanda turned to Carlisle and Esme and asked hopefully, "Really?"
"Umm… well….to be completely honest, I don't have much of a clue as to what you are talking about." Carlisle said.
"Oh yeah, sorry. I had a vision that you were going to ask Amanda and Andrew if they wanted to join the family and I saw the story that we'd decide on." I said, smiling.
"Oh! If that's what you were talking about then yes, really." Esme said.
"YAY!" Amanda exclaimed, running and throwing her arms around Esme, Andrew hugging Carlisle, then they switched.
I couldn't contain my excitement. I was so happy to have another sister and brother! And I already had a vision of how happy we'd be as the new and improved Cullen-Hale family. Amanda and Andrew turned to face us. I couldn't hide it anymore.
"Welcome to the family guys!" I yelled, running and throwing my arms around Amanda and she embraced my back. I turned to Andrew and he smiled. Wow, he looked A LOT like Jasper! They could have been twins separated at birth! I threw my arms around Andrew, and it felt like hugging Jasper, well not including the love-y feeling I get when I hug Jazz. He hugged my back. I stepped aside so that the rest of my family could welcome the newest additions to the family.
"So, what was the story that we were going to decide on Alice, since you already know." Emmett asked.
"Well, since Andrew looks like Jasper's identical twin, we had decided that when you adopted Rose and Jazz, Carlisle and Esme weren't told about Andrew, their triplet. So, when Andrew found out that he had a brother and sister, he went out to find them, and you adopted him. And our story for Amanda was that she was Carlisle's niece and both her parents died in an accident and Carlisle took her in." I said, summing up my vision.
"Sounds good." Edward said.
"Uh…Bella?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah Andrew?" She answered.
"Well, your "talent" is that you have a shield, right?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah, and I can shield others." She answered. "Wait, why do you ask?"
"Well, I know that Amanda and Edward's power don't work on you, and anything that causes pain or whatever doesn't work, so I was just wondering if-" He said, but Edward cut him off before he could finish.
"NO! You are not trying that!" Edward yelled.
"Wait, try what? It's my choice so Andrew, tell me what you wanted to try on me and I'll tell you whether or not you can." Bella said.
"Well, I wanted to see if my power worked on you. But it's up to you." Andrew said.
"Oh. Okay well go ahead. Actually, I was wondering if it would work on me." Bella said. Edward let out a low growl, which she ignored.
"Okay, here it goes." Andrew said and stared at Bella calmly. Then, his forehead began to crease, and we instantly knew that Bella's shield wasn't letting him knock her out. He let out a sigh and smiled.
"Guess your shield won't let me knock you out." He said and laughed. Edward loosened his tense stance. Bella looked up and smiled at him, and he wrapped one arm around her.
Jasper then went to stand beside Andrew and took a picture. He looked at it and laughed.
"What's so funny?" Emmett asked.
"Your right. We do look like twins!" Jasper said, showing Andrew. He laughed. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and walked out of the room laughing. Wow they looked and acted so much alike! We all laughed.
A few months passed, and Amanda and Andrew were treated as if they'd been part of the family all their lives. They both developed relationships with each one of the Cullens. Amanda's relationship with Emmett was that they were like twins separated at birth. They were almost exactly alike; they both loved video games, loved to hunt grizzlies, especially when they're irritated, they both are happy go lucky kind of people, they loved to play fight and actually fight, and they can both be somewhat slow….well Amanda is very seldomly slow and Emmett was usually slow. They could even finish each other's sentences, even without Amanda's power. Andrew's relationship with Emmett was that they were both completely obsessed with video games. They could play for hours and hours on end and could spend an entire day in any video game store.
Amanda's relationship with Edward was that they were EXACTLY like a brother and sister usually are; they usually despise each other because they can both read each other's minds and neither of them can have a private life because they can hear everything that's not being said, but they do love each other, even though they don't always show it. Andrew's relationship with Edward was
Amanda's relationship with Jasper was strangely close. Most people never really got close with Jasper, unless you knew him for a long time, or you were Alice. They were like best friends and twins all at once. When Jazz needed someone and Alice wasn't there, his next choice would be Amanda. They knew what was going on inside each other's heads and what they were feeling even with out their power. They were close, but Alice and Jasper were much closer. Andrew and Jasper's relationship was actually funny. Not only did they look like identical twins, but they even acted like twins. They did almost EVERYTHING together.
Amanda, Alice, Bella, and Rosalie's relationship was like they were best friends that were like sisters. They were really close and shared everything.
Andrew and Alice's relationship was a lot like Amanda and Jasper's relationship, except for Alice and Andrew loved to shop. They could spend a week in a mall shopping if they were allowed.
Bella and Andrew acted like Amanda and Edward; they hated each other, but they loved each other too. Rosalie treated Andrew like a little brother. Probably because he reminded her of her little brother from when she was human.
Bella's POV *Three Months Later*
I sat on the couch, leaning on Edward as he and Amanda argued over something. I think they were playing cards and he was accusing her of cheating.
"I did not cheat!" She yelled.
"I saw it in your mind!" He yelled.
"Aha! So you're the one who was cheating! I knew you would try and read my thoughts and figure out my moves!" Amanda yelled.
"I-You-Me-BELLA!" Edward yelled.
"Don't try and take Jasper's way out of things!" Amanda yelled. They both started to yell at each other, and they said everything at the same time so it just sounded like a bunch of gibberish. I started to get frustrated. I sat up and let out a sigh. I walked away, and of course neither of them noticed.
I sat down on the stairs, and then Emmett came bounding down them to sit beside me.
"Wazz up little sis?" He asked.
"Nothng just tierd of listening to Amanda and Edward fighting." I said and sighed.
"Eddie-kins and Amanda-kins are fighting…again?" He asked and I just nodded.
"They'll stop in a little while." He said. He ruffled my hair and I couldn't help but smile. Emmett was like a an oversized teddy bear.
"GIRLS! MEETING! OUTSIDE! NOW!" I heard Alice yell from they backyard.
"See ya later Em." I said and got up and ran outside. I walked out and Rosalie and Amanda appeared on either side of her. I looked to see Alice sitting in the middle of the grass. We walked over to her and sat down.
"What's up Ali?" Amanda asked.
"Well, I have decided that we are going to have a hunting trip….you know just us…none of them." Alice said, jerking her chin in the direction of the window. Rosalie, Amanda and I all looked back at the window to see Edward, Emmett, Andrew and Jasper staring dreamly at their mates. I smiled and blew a kiss at Edward, who caught it and pressed it to his lips. I heard Emmett yell "CHEESY!" at him and Edward hit him upside the head. We all laughed and turned back to Alice.
"Anyways, we'll leave tonight, so pack your bags." Alice said and stood up.
"Wait, pack our bags. How long are we going to be gone?" I asked.
"A week." Alice answered simply.
"Wait. A week? Where are we staying. I'm not sure if you've noticed Alice, but there are no hotels in the woods." Rosalie said.
"I know that Rose. And we're camping Rose, so don't pack high heels." Alice said, and she was gone.
**One Week Later**
"Uh Eddie?" Jasper said.
"Yeah Jazz Hands?" Edward said, as he and Emmett played Call of Duty talking to each other through head sets. They were on the same team.
"Uh…how did you and Bells make up so fast?" He asked.
"Sex is the answer, my brother." Edward said.
"NO Edward! Sex is NOT the answer! Sex is the question. Yes is the answer." Emmett said and smiled. They three of them laughed. Then they heard Andrew burst through the door.
"Hey Drew. What's up twin?" Jasper asked as Andrew ran into the room. He looked frantic.
Emmett and Edward stopped playing and looked at Andrew, taking in his worried expression. Edwrad's face fell and he looked like he might cry as he read Andrew's thoughts.
"No." He said, but it came out as barely a whisper.
"What's going on?" Emmett said, suddenly serious (which was a big step for Emmett).
"The-The-They're gone." Andrew finally said, his voice breaking.
