BPOV
We were finally on the main highway on our way to Salem, Oregon and I couldn't be more excited. Maybe the excitement was getting to me because I felt the overwhelming need to go the bathroom. I was glad that there was a little bathroom in the back of the RV and went to use it.
When I got there, I was shocked to find that there was something essential missing. I turned back around and walked up to Emmett who was playing UNO with Jasper and Rosalie who got roped into it with a guilt trip from Emmett.
"Uh Emmett? There's something missing in the bathroom." I told him as I poked his shoulder to get his attention.
"Oh yeah? What?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the cards in his hand.
"The toilet," I stated as I put my hands on my hips in frustration.
"Oh…that's right. The guy I rented the RV from told me that there was no toilet. Not that we need it." He snorted with a little laugh as I grew madder and madder.
"Hello! Human here!" I nearly yelled as I pointed to myself. That's when he finally turned around and looked at me. His eyes widened as realization hit.
"Oh yeah huh. Oh wellsies." He shrugged than turned back around to the game.
"What?" I asked with shock clear in my voice.
"I can't exactly buy a toilet and put it into the bathroom now Bella. This ain't no etchy sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid." He shook his head from side to side before putting down a card and jumping up as he yelled, "UNO! HA IN YOUR FACES LOOOOOOSERS!" He also did a little dance by pointing up and shaking his butt from side to side. I made a disgusted face and went to pout by Edward.
"Do you want us to stop at the next gas station?" He asked as he laughed at Emmett's little dance.
"Well, we're going to have to now. Since Emmett rented a toiletless RV." I glared at Emmett but he kept going with the game, completely oblivious to my plight.
"Bella, we're vampires. I don't think Emmett has enough brain cells to think about your needs." He told me gently as he tried to lift the corner of my mouth into a smile. I reluctantly agreed and scooted closer to him as he put his arm around me.
"Of course I thought about her needs. Check that cabinet up there." He motioned with his head to a small cabinet in the corner. Edward looked at Emmett for a minute curiously but not being able to hear anything interesting from his thoughts, he got up and opened the cabinet door. The minute he opened it, little packets of foil assaulted him and piled on the ground. The cabinet had been loaded to the very top with the little packets.
Edward looked at the pile slowly growing at his feet with a curious brow raised and then realizing what they were, he turned around to face Emmett angrily.
"This is for Bella's needs?!" He shouted at Emmett. I could hear a small growl building in his chest as I kept staring at the little packets, still not realizing what they were.
"Well, no. It's for both of you. Present from me. Mazal tov bro." He then groaned lightly as Rosalie called UNO before him and made him take a pile of cards.
I watched Edward as he let out the growl and then closed his eyes with an irritated sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. He then closed the cabinet door before leaning down and collecting all the little packets and walking to throw them away. One dropped at my feet and I leaned down to examine it closely. Seeing what it was, I felt myself blush profusely before reading the word written on it aloud.
"Apple flavored?" I was simply wondering to myself but the rest of the Cullens heard me quite clearly.
"You know Bella, an apple a day keeps the doctor away." Emmett answered me seriously.
"But if the doctor's cute, screw the fruit!" Alice added from the front.
"Well, that mountain in the cabinet might help in that feat." Jasper chuckled from beside Alice, studying a map in his hands.
"Et tu Jasper?" Edward sadly shook his head once more. "You know, I would really appreciate it if all of you just stayed out of me and Bella's…physical relationship." He said this last part quickly but I caught it and turned even redder, if that was possible.
Emmett shrugged as he took two more cards. "Just thought you needed a push."
"Or a hundred." Rosalie giggled as she looked pointedly at the stack in Edward's arms right before he deposited them all in the trash.
As Emmett jumped up once more, I saw him slap down his last card and start doing the little dance again.
"CHICKA CHICKA YEAH!! WHO'S YOUR UNO DADDY!! GO EMMETT, GO EMMETT! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY! UHUH OH YEAH WHOO!" He screamed in glee as his dance shook the RV.
"Good job Emmett!" I said sarcastically. "Here's your reward." I flicked the foil packet at him and it hit his head before dropping onto the table. His eyes crossed as he tried to see where it hit him. I rolled my eyes and leaned back.
"Thanks Bella!" He exclaimed enthusiastically with no hint of sarcasm in his voice. Edward also rolled his eyes as he sat back down next to me.
"Restroom stop for the human!" Alice yelled as she pulled into the gas station. I stood up and stretched before walking to the gas station.
As I washed my hands and came out the restroom, I saw Emmett browsing the aisles.
"Emmett, what are you doing?" I asked as I went to stand next to him.
"Looking for something to buy you. What you wants missy?" He asked as he picked up a packet of raisins curiously before putting it back down.
"Hmm…how about a slushie?" I asked him as I walked towards the machine.
"A whadda huh?" He asked as he followed me. As I filled up the cup with some cherry slushie, I saw Emmett gasp beside me and then scrunch up his face in disgust. I stuck a straw in and took a sip.
"Trust me, it's good." I nodded as I took another sip.
"Riiiiiiight. Ok. My treat." We walked up to the cashier and Emmett stepped in front of me.
"How much for the cup of frozen blood?" He asked the guy casually.
"Excuse me?" He asked with surprise.
I quickly stepped around Emmett's huge presence and held up the cup. The guy shook his said and clearly muttered, "Out of towners," before ringing it up. Emmett paid the exact amount with coins which went agonizingly slow.
Emmett walked onto the RV before me and as I climbed up, I heard him say, "Guess what Bella got."
Everyone looked at the cup in my hand before looking at each other and shrugging.
"It's grooooooooss." He added as a hint.
I sighed lightly before trying to explain. "It's just—" Emmett cut me off as he pointed at my cup accusingly.
"A CUP OF FROZEN BLOOD!" He yelled ominously.
Everyone looked back at me and then at the cup in my hand.
"Guys, it's just a slushie." Everyone gave a unanimous "Ohhh," in understanding before going back to what they were doing before Emmett interrupted.
"I'm telling you it's a cup of frozen blood! Bella's a vampire! Guess you won't need a toilet after all…"
Oh Emmett. Tsk tsk. If you guys don't know what the little packets were…well ok you HAVE to know. So the phrases "This ain't no etchy sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid & An apple a day keeps the doctor away but if the doctor is cute screw the fruit" came from Nosuchthingashappilyeverafter and their hilarious story Notes Galore! Go check it out. Also, Emmett's disgust was for the frozen part cuz supposing it's frozen blood, well cold blood is gross. On with the show! Also, I managed to write up a new chapter for my first fanfic--Breaking Dawn Spin along with this one. Yay!
