Sweet Victory
----
Emmett walked down the halls with is hands in his pockets. He was whistling to himself as he stopped at his locker to grab his history book. He then tucked it under his arm and went to his history class.
Some of you may be thinking 'This is too normal for Emmett!' and I agree, so let's try this again.
Emmett ran down the halls at a human pace, trying to get away from Edward. Before when they were in the cafeteria, Emmett had "accidentally" spilt his milk all over Bella.
"Emmett!" Edward roared as people stepped out of the way of the two brothers. Emmett chuckled. He passed a bulletin board, but stopped when something caught his eye. This caught Edward off guard, and he crashed into Emmett, sending both of them flying down the hall.
"What is going on out here?!" A teacher asked, coming out of his room.
"Edward attacked me!" Emmett cried.
"No I didn't. You stole my book so I had to run after you to get it back!" Edward said, picking up someone's book from the floor. He smirked at Emmett when his back was turned. "Payback," He whispered so only Emmett could hear.
"But I…I didn't…Aw, phooey!" Emmett said.
"Detention, Mr. Cullen," The teacher said with a stern look. "Now get to class,"
Emmett glared at Edward as he got up. He went back to the bulletin board and looked at the paper that caught his eye. Edward, who had given the book back to its owner, went to stand by Emmett.
"The Talent Show?" Edward asked.
"We should enter it," Emmett said, tearing the paper down.
"Why?" Edward asked, taking the paper from him and looking at it.
"Look at the grand prize," Emmett said.
"Five thousand dollars. So what? We have like twenty times that much money."
"Yeah, I know, but we could give it to Bella and she could use it for college. You would do anything for Bella, right?"
Edward thought about it then glared at Emmett. "You play dirty."
"As do you, brother," Emmett said, patting Edward's shoulder. "So are we going to do it?"
"Fine," Edward sighed.
"Woot!" Emmett yelled just as the bell rang.
"Thanks for making me late," Edward called sarcastically as he started going to his class.
"Anytime, bro, anytime," Emmett said, walking in the opposite direction.
----LATER THAT DAY!!----
"So, basically, we're entering the talent show for Bella, right?" Rosalie asked.
"Pretty much," Emmett said as he stood in front of Rosalie.
She shrugged. "Okay,"
"You're the best, Rose!" He exclaimed while giving her a big kiss. "Now, onto Alice and Jasper!"
When he walked out of their room, he was met by a pixie.
"AHH!"
"Hi, Emmett!"
"Don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry," Alice giggled. "I wanted to tell you we're in,"
"Define "we're" and "in","
"Jasper and I are going help you with the talent show, silly!"
"Yay!"
Emmett ran down the stairs to find Edward on the couch.
"Everyone's in," Emmett said, sitting next to Edward.
"Okay. Now, we need to pick a song,"
"Let's do 'Fergalicious'!"
"No way, Emmett," Jasper said, coming down the stairs with Alice and Rose.
"How about 'Just Dance'?"
"No!" Everyone shouted.
"We're not doing Lady Gaga," Edward said in a low voice. (A/N: I have nothing against Lady Gaga! I love her!)
"Okay! Jeez!" Emmett said while holding his hands up in surrender.
"We need to do something classy, something…unexpected, yet expected," Jasper said, rubbing his chin in thought.
Suddenly, Rosalie snapped her fingers. "I got it,"
"You're brilliant, Rose!" Alice cried, hugging her.
Edward smirked. "It's perfect,"
"What?! What?!" Emmett asked impatiently.
"It's…"
----THE TALENT SHOW NIGHT!!----
After many acts, the Cullens were going to be going on stage. First though, Mike was going to be singing 'Light On'.
"Hey, gay song, gay kid. It works!" Emmett exclaimed (A/N: Sorry to anyone who likes that song, but it is kind of gay-ish).
The Cullens laughed and watched him step on the stage that was set up in the gym.
Bella, who was in the crowd, gagged when she saw Mike come out.
"You're kidding," She mumbled to herself as music started playing and Mike started singing.
Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn't be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there's no point in grieving
Doesn't matter anyway
Words can never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I'm leaving
Every now and then, Mike would do a dance move or spin around. Bella stared at him, mouth agape, but she shivered when Mike stared directly at her.
Edward growled and took a step towards Mike, almost getting onto the stage, but Emmett held him back.
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night, a naked light
A fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone
You know we've been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door
And my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don't know how bad it feels
To leave the only one
That I have ever believed in
"Oh my GOD this kid is bad!" Rosalie sighed exasperated. "Talk about being flat,"
Alice shook her head in disgust.
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night, a naked light
A fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone, ooh yeah!
Sometimes it feels like we've run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You'll stab my heart again when I come along, yeah
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night, a naked light
A fire to keep me warm
"Hurry up, Mikey," Emmett whispered. "The real stars have to perform,"
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night, a naked light
A fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I'm gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it's late at night you can look inside
You won't feel so alone, ooh yeah!
Finally, he was done. Bella rolled her eyes as he bowed dramatically.
"And now, our final act! The Cullens will be performing 'Sweet Victory'!" A voice said. Everyone cheered loudly and whistled.
The Cullens stepped onto the stage. Edward would be playing the keyboard, Alice and Rosalie were playing guitar and bass, Jasper was on the drums, and Emmett was singing.
The stage darkened but then a spotlight was on Emmett, showing him standing with his feet slightly apart, both of his hands holding the microphone close to his chest, and his head down.
Edward started playing, and soon Emmett's part came up. Once he started singing, he lifted his head up and stared at the crowd with wide eyes.
The winner takes all
It's the thrill of one more kill
The last one to fall… will never sacrifice their will!
Suddenly, colorful lights came on, all of them moving in random directions.
Don't ever look back on the world closing in
Be on the attack with your wings on the wind
Oh, the games will beginIt's ours for the taking… It's ours for the fight!
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
And the one who's last to fall
The winner takes all
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
Emmett started walking around, looking dramatic as he pointed out to the crowd and then pointed towards the ceiling and slowly brought it down.
You don't win no silver
You only lose the gold
You push with a fever… for your time keeps tolling on!
Against all the odds, against all your pain
Your back's on the wall with no one to blame
Wild hearts won't be tamed
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
It's ours for the taking… it's ours for the fight!
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
And the one who's last to fall, the winner takes all
Alice then started rocking out as she had a guitar solo.
And the one who's last to fall yeah
Then Jasper had a mini solo and Emmett danced to the beat of it (think of what Squidward did on Spongebob).
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.
It's ours for the taking… it's ours for the fight!
And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah.!
And the one who's last to fall
The winner takes all
They then ended. Emmett was posed like he was in the very beginning, Jasper held his drumsticks up, Rosalie and Alice each had a hand held up high, and Edward had his head down.
The crowd of high schoolers and teachers cheered and whistled.
"I think we know who the winners are!" The principal of the school said, stepping onto the stage. The Cullens started jumping up and down and hugging each other, but Bella knew they were just faking it.
"Here's your trophy and a check for five thousand dollars!"
"Yay!" Emmett yelled and took the prizes. "I'd like to thank my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters, and everyone who supported me!" He thanked. At the end, he started "tearing up". "I'm sorry," He said, covering his mouth with his hand.
"Anyways…" The principal said, giving Emmett a weird look. "Thanks for coming tonight, and a special thanks to those who performed. Have a good night, and everyone get home safely!"
And with that, the talent show was over.
----LATER THAT NIGHT----
"Oh, Bella, you should have SEEN Mike. He was glaring daggers at us when I took the trophy and money!" Emmett exclaimed as Bella laughed.
"Speaking of which," Edward said with a smile. "Bella, we have a surprise for you,"
"What?" Bella asked, alarmed. "I don't want anything,"
"Well too bad," Emmett said. "We've decided to give you the five thousand dollars for college!"
Bella stared at him.
Emmett stared back with a smile.
Bella started seeing black, and she feinted.
Edward glared at Emmett.
"This is the part where you run, Emmett," Jasper whispered.
"Right," He said, and ran out the door.
"Emmett!" Edward roared and chased after him, just like he had the day Emmett discovered the talent show flyer.
Only this time, Emmett didn't chuckle.
He just ran like hell.
