I'm sorry for the delay in this chapter. No excuse other then busy as hell for work. It sucks, but the bill collectors kind of require you have one. *le sigh*

Mega, mega thanks to my beta, MaitresseSaint. Without her you probably wouldn't have this chapter!

Disclaimer: No matter how many ways I beg, plead, bribe and cry I don't own anything Twilight. Stephanie really needs to give a little. I'm not looking for everything… Only Jasper. I don't want the money, just him. *another le sigh*

Now on with the show.

"Honey, I'm hhhhooooommmmeeee!!"

"Hi, Emmett!" We both called in unison.

We got up and ran down the stairs; taking them two at a time to greet our family. Esme gave us big hugs and began to fuss with our hair and clothing, just like a true mother. After Jasper swatted her hands away she moved into the house to take a look around. Carlisle came up and gave me a huge hug and gave a man hug to Jasper. Next Rosalie came screeching to me and gave me hugs and kisses; she did the same to Jasper. Edward came in and gave the same greeting as Carlisle. Emmett was pushing his way through the line to scoop me up in to one of his infamous bear hugs, swinging me around. I hung on to his neck so he didn't send me flying across the room. He finally let me go and I had never been so glad that I couldn't get dizzy. I saw him do the same to Jasper until he elbowed Emmett in the ribs to let him down. Alice came in carrying tons of stuff. She dropped everything to the floor and looked to Jasper, Emmett and Edward with her eyebrow raised. It wasn't like she needed the help; it was just the point of the whole thing.

"What are you guys just standing there for? There is still a ton of stuff in the car. We had to rent a separate one just to get everything here."

She ran over and jumped on me, giving huge hugs and rambling at top speed about the plans. I had a hard time keeping up with her. The guys had gone out and brought the rest of the stuff in. I took one look at the pile and rolled my eyes.

"Did you rent a U-haul truck for all of this? What do we need so much stuff for?"

"I saw your plans, Bella. Trust me! We will need every bit of what I've brought."

Rose grabbed our hands and dragged both of us to the living room. We all plopped down on the couch and Rose began her begging.

"Will you please tell us what is going on? Alice won't say a word. She's been more excited than normal so it's got to be good."

Edward sat on the arm of the couch beside Alice and put his arm across her shoulders.

"Please tell us. I can't stand seeing Emmett singing Dancing Queen in a pink leotard anymore. I mean honestly, how Alice can stand to think that all day long is beyond me. She's doing it to keep me out of her head, even during sex!!"

I sat on the floor in front of Jasper. He put his hands on my shoulders, I leaned my head on his thigh and snuggled my arms behind his knees.

"Ok. First I'll tell you the plan, but then you have to tell me about Emmett and the pink leotard."

Alice glanced over at Rose who looked like she was going to crack a rib with holding in her laugh and then said, "Deal."

"OK, guys. This is what I thought we'd do to give a little excitement to the locals and the tourists."

They all leaned their heads in and listened as I explained the plan.

JPOV

This was the first time that I was hearing the full plan, so I made sure to pay attention. Bella had only told me a small amount during our drive. The excitement coming off of everyone, including our parents, was making me giddy. I was a Major in the Civil War for crying out loud. I should NOT be feeling giddy, DAMN IT! I was though, so I continued to listen as she spoke.

"I was thinking of quite a few places. We could do a couple at the same time since the storm won't keep us in cloud cover for too many days. First there is the Fountain of Youth; I think that Rose and Emmett would be perfect for that. Alice and Edward would be perfect for the Oldest Wooden School House in the USA. Carlisle and Esme, I think you should be with The Love Tree, which is also The Apopinax Tree. I was thinking Jasper and I could visit the Fort and Spanish Hospital."

Carlisle nodded his head at this one. Everyone was still sitting at full attention, holding their breath waiting for more.

"Come on, Bells. Get on with it already. That can't be all of it."

"Geez, Em. Let her finish man." Jasper cut him off for me.

"Thanks, Babe. As I was saying before, I think Rose would be great as the Rum Runner bar owner. She's also known as The Lady with the Lantern. OH! We can't forget the Lighthouse. I think that should be Carlisle and Esme too. Edward and Alice should be at the St. Francis Inn. We also have Flagler College, the Ponce de Leon Hotel, the Old Jail and two cemeteries. Those are the Hugenot and Tolomato."

Alice was bouncing in her seat, hardly able to control her excitement. Before she could speak, Emmett interrupted again.

"This is like Mission Impossible! We are going to have SO much fun!!"

Edward chimed in as well, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's going to be a blast. If we do even half of what's speeding through Alice's mind, this is going to be a trip we won't forget!"

The little pixie gave him a sly wink and squeezed his knee before she jumped up.

"We have to make sure to scout everything out. We need to video tape this too. It's just too priceless not to."

She kept rambling on under her breath as Rose joined in.

"I agree. I want to have a lot of fun, but see what everyone else has done too. How are we going to organize all of this though? The hurricane isn't that far away."

Bella lifted her head a little and looked at me. I could just tell the wheels were turning in that brain of hers. I have got to keep her away from Emmett and Alice. She's almost as bad as they are with the troublemaking.

"Well, that's what Jasper is in charge of."

"I am?"

"Of course you are. You're the strategist of the family. It's a perfect job for you!"

She had a point.

Alice began spouting out directions again. She was assigning everyone jobs.

"Esme and I will work on costumes. Jasper and Bella will plan everything out. Emmett, Edward and Rosalie will scope everything out and also hook up the hidden cameras. Carlisle will finish researching all of the history to make sure we act everything out perfectly."

"Alright you bossy little pixie, you also need to keep an eye on the storm and meet with the people that own the tour companies. That way you can watch for their decisions of canceling due to the weather or whatnot."

She marched up to me and pointed her manicured finger in to my chest.

"For your information I had already planned on doing that."

Why was I not surprised?

BPOV

I couldn't help but laugh at Jasper and Alice. She sure was a feisty one. She's a whirlwind of energy when she's plotting, a thousand times worse then she normal. I'm just thankful that we're plotting together and she's not trying to drag me on a shopping spree to rival all others.

I just sat back and watched how excited everyone was. I hadn't realized I had missed them so much. It had only been a few months since we last saw them. Jasper and I had been pretty busy traveling and just enjoying our time together, but it sure was nice to have all of us under one roof again. I saw Carlisle already on the laptop looking up places. His fingers were a whirl over the keys. The printer he had brought was going crazy with all of the pages he was printing out. Esme and Alice were already sketching the clothing we would need for the different locations.

I had to chuckle at what I saw next. Edward kept shaking his head no, causing Emmett to sigh and Rosalie kept rolling her eyes. She was really getting pissed off. It was obvious that he was reading Emmett's mind and shooting down whatever he was thinking. Emmett was beginning to look like someone had told him that his imaginary friend wasn't real after all. Finally Rose had had enough.

"Knock it off you two! I want to TALK about it, not wonder what you are thinking!" She was pointing her beautifully manicured finger at her husband.

Edward wasn't very successful at keeping the smirk off of his face. Rose saw this and whirled around on him. "I'm also tired of you being uptight and disagreeing to everything, Edward! Just spit it out already and let's get this show on the road."

She growled and slumped back down into the couch. After her tirade ended they began planning and plotting as a group. They were thinking of security. Trying to come up with ways to ensure that we didn't get arrested and deciding what types of cameras to use. They were also talking about different angles, shots, lenses and all sorts of stuff. Emmett really lost his calling in life. He would have been perfect as a movie director. I shook my head and just smiled. The family really did all love each other.

I turned my head and looked over at my Cowboy. He was sitting on the edge of the couch. His strong legs were parted and he had a look of sheer concentration on his face. His was running his fingers over the maps and papers while his other hand was playing with his ear lobe. The things I could be doing to that ear lobe right now. I saw his eyebrow raise and a smirk grace the side of his lips, but he didn't turn to look at me. I need to learn to keep those lust spikes in check. You'd think after all these years I would have figured that out. Trying to get my attention off of Jasper I called out to Alice.

"Mind if I start opening these boxes, so I can see what you brought? It might help me with some of the planning."

She just waved me off with her hand as they continued to draw out the period costumes. I'm sure she had brought quite a bit with her, but would most likely want to make adjustments to make it just perfect. I walked over to the boxes and began opening them. I took them to the other room and started organizing everything in piles. There were piles for clothing, audio and video equipment, books and maps of St. Augustine and then various newspaper clippings. I called over my shoulder.

"What did you do, Alice? Rob the local library?"

"Of course I didn't! How could you say such a thing?"

"Well I'm quite sure you haven't been saving these over the years."

"Let's just say I borrowed them from some historic society. They'll be back in place before they even notice they're gone."

I should have known better.

I continued to work through the boxes until each one was unpacked. I sat and stared at everything. I let out a big huff and relaxed and soon after the wheels began to start turning in my head. This is REALLY going to be so much fun! Let's just hope we can pull it off without getting arrested! Just then Rose, Emmett and Edward walked into the room. They began grabbing all of the video equipment.

"You guys going to go set this up now?"

Rose rolled her eyes and said, "The goofs want to do it now. I'd rather hit the hot tub, but someone has to keep them in line."

"That's not fair, Rosie baby. We'll be back before you know it." He gave her the puppy dog eyes and pout. I could see her resolve wavering.

Edward must have seen it too because he interrupted. "Emmett, we will not be repelling down the lighthouse so you can act like Tom Cruise in the government's super-secret computer room."

"Aww man! You guys are no fun!"

Rose turned to look at me before grabbing some more stuff, "This is why I have to go. Make sure my Monkey man makes it back before the sun comes up. Lord knows he'd be flashing everyone with his sparkling penis while waiting to be bailed out."

I couldn't help myself. I was cracking up laughing at that comment. "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. When we were driving in we saw that the jail had windows. Alice saw it too. We'd need every ounce of Carlisle's diplomacy, Esme's mothering, Edward reading their thoughts to find out how to answer and Jasper's confusion and other emotions to help make them forget."

Emmett wiggled his eyebrows, a sparkle in his eyes as he answered, "Don't forget the last part, Baby."

I looked at Rose, waiting. "Well… it would also take quite a bit of flirting and borderline lap-dancing those guys to finally get out of there. Apparently we couldn't buy them off."

My jaw dropped as I looked at the three of them. "Are you serious? You'd really have to do that?"

Rose answered, "Not me. Well, not only me. It would be you, Alice and me to pull it off."

UGH! Without a second thought I answered, "Alright guys. Rose goes with you. Neither of you are to be unsupervised. PERIOD!"

Alice called from the other room, "Good job, Bella. That fixes it!"

Rose smiled and turned her nose in the air. Both boys followed her out for their adventure. I went to join the others in the living room.

EmPOV

We loaded into the SUV and pulled out of the driveway. Edward was driving, Rosie had shotgun and I was in the back. Rose had the maps that Jasper had drawn and the blueprints that Carlisle had found online. First we were going over to The Old Jail. We parked in the parking lot at Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum so we wouldn't be seen. Before we got out of the car I heard my sexy wife's voice.

"OK. Let's put up three cameras here. We'll put one in the parking lot pointing towards the jail itself, another one inside, just above the door and the final one outback. We'll need to turn them on as soon as we're done. We should start recording, so that we can study the layout of the facility. That way we can go ahead and plan what pranks we want to pull. Sound good?"

She is so HOT when she's like this. All focused and dominate. I just want to take her up against the wall…

Then the cock-blocker, I mean Edward interrupted, "Now is not the time, Em. The sooner we get this done the sooner you can do that."

Rose looked between the two of us, a look of confusion on her face before Edward answered her, "Never mind, Rose. Let's just get this done."

She just shrugged her shoulders and we got out of the car. Within minutes we had everything setup and we continued on. We got a camera at both cemeteries, the hospital, at that weird tree, the fountain and the schoolhouse. We also put up a camera and a microphone at the office of the tour company.

The next few were going to be pretty tricky. We had both Inns, the
Fort and Hospital and the Lighthouse. This is what I've been waiting for. I'm going to give Tom a run for his money.

I was getting hyped up as Edward parked the truck. We grabbed everything we would need and set off.

"Dun, dun, dun-dun, dun. Dun, dun-dun, dun. Dun, dun-dun, dun, dun, dun. Doo-doo-doo-dooooo. Doo-doo-dooooo. Doo-doo-dooooo."

SMACK!!

"Ow, Rosie. What was that for?"

"For acting like a two year old. Put your game face on, McCarty!"

We began walking again and I didn't make a peep.

Edward "the tattle-tale" Cullen ratted me out. "Not in your head either! I can still hear you and it's pissing me off!"

SMACK!!

"Woman! You better knock that shit off or no sex for a week!" Rosie gave me the evil-eye and kept-walking.

Did I just say that? Me? What the hell was I thinking? I can't go seven days without sex. Shit! Seven hours is pushing it! My head hung down, my chin almost touching my chest and my shoulders slumped. Rosie wrapped her hand around my arm at the elbow, walking with me. She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before saying, "That's what I thought. Now behave and I'll have a nice surprise for Daddy when we get home."

Edward made a gagging noise; his voice cracking before he cleared his throat, "Daddy? Honestly. For the love of all that is Holy, can you please keep that shit under wraps? You have got to be the horniest, freakish, voyeuristic, nymphomaniac vampires I have ever met! You're worse then Carlisle and Esme."

Rose snorted before answering, "Of course we are. They are our parents, prim and proper and well-behaved."

I put an arm around Rosie and said, "You'd be surprised. I found Eddie here, making vomiting noises and attempting to beat his head on a cement wall one day. He had almost put his head through the wall when I stopped him. The thing would have come crumbling down. It seems that our parents are a bunch of CLOSET FREAKS!"

Edward took off running before Rosie could ask her question. "What are you talking about? How do you know?"

"Let's just say I heard, in vivid detail, what Edward had seen floating around in their minds. Swinging from chandeliers, toys, role-playing… the list goes on and on.It makes me step up my game. I can't have them outdoing us, Babe." I added a wink before I took off behind Edward.

I heard Rose call behind us, "We better hurry our asses up. Emmett, you need to make me forget everything you just told me. UGH! I am totally grossed out!!"

It took less than a half hour before we had everything setup and made our way back to the house.

JPOV

Bella and I had finished up the maps and strategies. Carlisle was finished as well and was reading a book he had brought with him. Alice and Esme had finished up the costumes, saying the finishing touches would be done when everyone had tried them on.

I had the laptop out and was just surfing the web. I wanted to see what else Florida had to offer for nightlife to keep us entertained. Bella was curled up beside me watching some show on TV; it was some haunted vacations show. With Halloween right around the corner they were practically on every channel.

Scrolling through different links I found a few theme parks. There was Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, but that's not really for us. In Tampa there was another one for adults, but that was on the west coast and I didn't feel like taking that long of a drive with the motley crew we call our family. Another link later I found it. YES!! I snapped my fingers and pointed at the screen.

Bella looked over and asked, "What's up, Cowboy? Find anything interesting?"

"I sure have. I think tomorrow night we're taking a trip to Orlando. Take a look at this."

I showed her all of the different things. There were haunted houses, scare zones, whatever they were and shows. Clicking around some more we found guest comments and saw how much people enjoyed it. They also had alcohol. While that wouldn't do much for us, it would certainly add a bit more fun for us. Drunk people watching was always fun.

Bella looked up at me and smiled. She'd never say no to me. Even after all of these years we never denied each other anything. The funny thing was neither of us cared, we didn't fight it and we never were unhappy doing it.

"Let's go, Cowboy. It sounds like a lot of fun. I'm sure everyone would love it."

"Good we'll tell them when they get home."

Just then Alice walked into the room and plopped down on the sofa. "They'll be walking through the door… right… about… now."

Just then the door opened and the others walked in. That shit is creepy sometimes.

Emmett bound over and tried to sit on Alice, claiming he hadn't seen her there. She pushed him off of her and pulled Edward down to join her. I saw Edward nod his head in my direction and Alice just grinned. Rose was still annoyed from their earlier non-conversation so this didn't help matters. She tapped her foot and crossed her arms over here chest. Emmett pulled her down to sit on his lap. Everyone looked at me expectantly and waited.

"Have fun today boys and girls because tomorrow we're going to Halloween Horror Nights."
