Previously on: Struggling
Bella: I guess we should take them to Carlisle.
Jacob: Yeah, I guess so.
Nessie: LET'S GO!
All walk toward Cullen house with Max still attached to Edward
Carson: How's Jasper? Is he good? Where is he? Can I kidnap him? How do you feel about coming to our show? Please?
Edward: (groans) Agh, please be quiet. (keeps walking)
Meg: (to Jacob) How's Emmett? Is he still strong? Where is he? Can I kidnap him? How do you feel about vampires now? Please tell me!
Jacob: (growls)
Bella: I pity you both. (giggles quietly)
All continue to the house
WHEN THEY GET THERE
All sitting on the couch
Nessie: (scrutinizes Meg, Max, and Carson)
Max: ...What?
Carson: Um, is there something in my teeth?
Meg: (stares at Carson)
Nessie: Tell me about you!
Carson: Okay, okay. Well, Max found a way to get here. So we did and we fell from the sky. (glares at Max, who grins) Then you found us. (shrugs) That's it.
Nessie: Oh. (is disappointed)
Meg: You're cute, though.
Nessie: (smiles)
Carson: ...Max, why are you still holding on to Edward?
Edward: Thank you for asking.
Max: 'Cause he's Edward.
Carson: It's stupid.
Meg: Yeah! I mean, he's just an extremely good-looking vampire with carrot hair.
Edward: Bronze. Wait, you know we're vampires!?
Max: Yeah, it's bronze! And yes, we've known for... three years.
Bella: That's longer than me!
Carson: (slaps forehead)
Bella: (whiny to Max) Why won't you let go of my husband?
Max: You're not the only girl who likes him!
Bella: (shocked) I'm not?!
Max: Ugh... (facepalm)
After a moment
Jasper: (appears from bushes)
Carson: OMYCARLISLE! (runs and hugs Jasper tightly)
Jasper: AHHHH!!
Edward: Get used to it. (looks at Max pointedly)
Max: (sticks out her tongue at him)
Emmett: (appears after Jasper) 'Sup, Eddie.
Edward: Don't call me that!
Max: Yeah, don't call him that!
Meg: HI EMMETT! (waves)
Emmett: Uh, hi. (waves confusedly)
Alice: (appears) ... (starts laughing)
Edward: Saw it coming?
Alice: Duh! (continues laughing)
Jasper: Aren't you going to help me?
Alice: Not yet!
Carlisle: Alice, why do we have three young girls here?
Meg: I'm innocent!
Alice: (explains)
Max: I'M NOT YOUNG!
Edward: You're barely taller than Alice.
Alice: (death glare)
Bella: ...How old are you? Ten?
Max: (sighs) I'm thirteen and three quarters.
Meg: I'm fourteen.
Carson: I'm thirteen and a half.
Esme: Would you like some cookies?
Max: YES! YES! YES!! THANK YOU ESME!! Go toward the cookies Edward.
Esme: o.0
Edward: NO!
Max: ...Always look behind you, Edward. I'll be back... (psychopath grin. Lets go of Edward)
Edward: I'M FREEE!! (grabs Bella and runs away from Max)
Nessie: DAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDYYYYYY!!
Edward: Oops.
Jasper: (suddenly hopeful) ...Do you want cookies too, girl-who's-name-I-don't-know?
Carson: It's Carson. And I do want cookies, but I will force you to go there. (narrows eyes)
Jasper: NO!
Carson: (pepper-sprays his eyes)
Jasper: AAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH! (Carson lets go and watches him roll on the ground)
Alice: (laughs harder)
All the others: FUN! (watches)
