Once again, this was short, but I still really liked it. I pretty much chopped up the words goose, geese, moose, and meese, but I had fun doing it!
Enjoy!

Meese

Emmett sat on the couch in the living room, watching the Discovery channel.
"Watch as this large moose in Alaska eats what little shrubbery there is to offer in this cold and harsh climate." A voice narrated on the TV.
"Hey, Emmett," Jasper said, sitting next to him. "Whatcha watchin'?"
"Something on the Discovery channel. It's about a moose eating or something,"
Jasper just remained silent and watched the moose on the TV stare at the camera while the narrator talked and blabbed on about a moose's eating habits and other stuff. They weren't really listening. They were more likely thinking about whether it would taste good or bad.
"I tried once when I was in Alaska," Edward said, coming down the stairs with Bella. They came into the living room and sat down on the love seat. "It's not the greatest, but it's not bad, either."
"Emmett, why are you even watching this?" Bella asked.
"I was bored," He replied, shrugging.
Alice and Rosalie then came home from hunting.
"Hey guys!" Alice greeted chirpily.
"What are you doing?" Rosalie asked. The two of them came in and sat down on the ground.
"Watching a moose," Jasper simply said.
Rosalie lifted a brow, and Alice giggled.
All of them watch the TV for all of ten seconds when Emmett sighed.
"Meese are so boring,"
"Meese?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, meese. You know, the plural for moose,"
"Emmett, that's not the plural," Edward sighed, shaking his head. How could his brother be so stupid?
"Frickin'—Dude, Edward, that's the plural, I know it is."
"No, Emmett, it's not. The plural is moose, though some people do say mooses,"
"Well that's like saying gooses!"
"But that's geese,"
"Exactly!"
"What?"
"Right."
Edward and Emmett glared at each other.
Bella's eye twitched.
Alice shook her head.
Rosalie sighed.
Jasper muttered, "Here we go again,"
"Look, Eddie," Emmett said. "I think I would know my meeses from geeses and my gooses from mooses."
"Don't call me Eddie!" Edward shouted.
"It's not meese, Emmett," Bella interjected on Edward's behalf. "That's just the way it is,"
"Well we should change that!"
"Emmett…" Alice said in a warning tone. Edward read her mind and stared at Emmett in disbelief. "Don't you dare do it!"
"Too late!" Emmett shouted and ran up the stairs.
"What's he going to do?" Rosalie asked worriedly.
"He's going to court. He's going to try and change the plural for moose to meese."
"That idiot!"
"No kidding," Jasper chuckled. "I'd love to see how this folds out,"
----TWO WEEKS LATER!!----
"Next case: Mr. Emmett Cullen. He's here to change the plural of moose to meese," A man called out in a courtroom. It was just the jury, the judge, and a few policemen. Emmett walked in looking professional (not to mention hot) in a suit and tie.
"As you know, your honor, I'm here to try and change moose to meese. How come a flock of goose is called geese, but a herd of moose isn't called meese? It's not right, and I won't stand for it!" He yelled dramatically, slamming his hand on a desk. He hit it to hard and it cracked a little. He froze and looked around, hoping no one would notice.
Thank God they didn't.
Emmett straightened his tie and said,
"That's my defense."
"Alright," The judge said. "We'll converse on the subject and have a hearing tomorrow about our decision. Court adjourned!" He exclaimed.
Emmett stalked out of the room and went back to the Cullen mansion.
"So how did your first day in court go?" Edward asked sarcastically.
"Good!" Emmett replied enthusiastically. "There's a hearing tomorrow on their decision!"
Edward just shook his head and walked away.
----THE NEXT DAY!!----
Emmett once again strode into the courtroom, this time carrying a brief case, just for good measure.
"The meese case will now be in session!" A guy stated.
"Mr. Cullen," The judge said. "We have talked about the situation…and we think you're right,"
Emmett smiled hugely.
"We have decided to make meese the plural of moose,"
Emmett then shouted,
"Yes! Woot! Thank you, your honor!"
"You're welcome," The judge said dryly. "Case closed!"
Emmett left the courtroom with a skip in his step and went home.
"So what did they say, Emmett?" Edward asked when Emmett sat down on the couch. The Cullens and Bella were in the living room as well.
"They decided that I was right, and they're going to make it meese!"
Edward stared at him. "You're kidding, right?"
"Nope!"
Edward just blinked.
Bella was speechless.
Rosalie muttered "Idiot,"
Alice pinched the bridge of her nose.
And Jasper…he just laughed.
"You really are stupid, Emmett," He said.
"That's Mr. Emmett to you!" Emmett replied, crossing his arms.
"Okay…you really are stupid, Mr. Emmett,"
"Thank you,"

I liked the ending :D So now everyone has to say 'meese' when referring to many mooses…moose…whatever.
Thanks for reading! Review, please!
