When we reached the house, Emmett started laughing hysterically ,dropping me on the ground while everyone else stared at him like he had lost his mind. We had just been yelled at and were in huge trouble and he thought it was funny.

"God, Emmett could have dropped her any harder?" Edward hissed as he helped me up off the ground. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, how much trouble are we in?" I asked, more concerned about the more important matter on hand.

"Well I really couldn't hear with all the shouting they were doing in their heads," Edward said with a grimace. "And Alice is busy with Jasper."

I looked over at Alice and Jasper and saw what he meant. Jasper was on the ground mumbling to himself while Alice tried to calm him down by rubbing his back. Jasper seemed to have really lost it, by the looks of it they might be out of the bet soon. I turned my attention over to Rosalie and Emmett, when I heard Rosalie start to yell at him.

"What are they fighting about now?" I asked Edward rolling my eyes.

"Emmett told Rose that she stunk and that lead to her yelling at him for leaving her last night." Edward said chuckling, as Rosalie started hitting Emmett's head.

"Rose stop it, don't you think I've suffered enough? I got attacked by a squirrel you know!" Emmett said, while he tried to crawl away from Rose as she hit him.

"Your going to love that squirrel when I'm done with you, you big baby!" she said, smacking him again. Edward and I were hysterical again as Emmett disappeared into the forest with Rosalie following right after him. Once they were gone Edward and I tried to calm down for when Carlisle and Esme got back. I looked down and realized that I was still covered in mud.

"I guess I have to be hosed down again," I said glumly thinking about the cold water. Edward just laughed as he took my hand and led me over to the hose. "Sorry about your clothes."

"Don't worry about it, Alice only lets me wear things once anyway," he said, before turning to me and flashing me his smile. "You look incredibly cute in my underwear by the way." He winked at me and kissed my hand and then left to turn on the hose. I stood, shocked at what he had just said, blushing like crazy. I couldn't help the smile that came across my face from his words. When he appeared again with the hose running, my heart was beating fast.

"Are you ok? I didn't mean to give you a heart attack," he said, laughing at me.

"Shut up," I said blushing even more. After I was hosed off he got me a towel and both of us went into the house. Alice was still trying to calm Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett were no where to be seen, so we got to be far away from them for a few minutes. There were no words to describe my happiness as I walked in the house and entered civilization

"Thank god for indoor plumbing and electricity!" I screamed, running into the kitchen for water. Edward followed me, amused by my enthusiasm, as I chugged four glasses of water; I ran up to his room and started jumping on the bed.

"Hello, pretty mattress," I said, patting the mattress when I fell on the bed. "I missed you pillow and you to comforter."

"Do you want me to leave so you can make out with the couch?" Edward asked smiling. He was standing in the door way with his arms crossed as he watched me hug the pillows. I stuck my tongue out at him and went back to the pillows. After a minute of thought I decided to have some fun with him.

"Actually, I think I want to take you up on that offer," I said getting up and running over to his black couch. Of course being the klutz I was I slipped on the floor and I felt two cold arms come around my waist saving me. Edward was laughing as he helped me over to the couch.

"Do you still want to make out with the couch?" he asked sitting me on his lap when we made it over to the couch.

"No, I think I'll pass on the couch," I said laughing with him and kissing his cheek. "You however," I began. Before I could finish his cold lips were on mine; he pulled away after only a minute, leaving me confused. I hadn't crossed any lines, I had behaved myself, so why did he pull away? He laughed when he my face slipped into a pout.

"Sorry love, but Carlisle and Esme are on their way." He said, before throwing me over his shoulder.

"Hey, I can walk all by myself, put me down!" I demanded, punching his back. He knew I hated it when he picked me up for no reason.

"Will you stop punching me?" he asked, laughing. "I was afraid that you might have the desire to make out with the shower."

"Ha ha, very funny, Edward," I said, giving up with a sigh as we reached the living room. When he put me down and I glared at him with my arms crossed. Of course, as always, my anger just amused him; he was standing across from me with a smile on his face copying my stance.

"Where are you getting yelled at?" I asked turning my back to him.

"Living room, why?" He asked warping his arms around my waist. Of course he was just trying to make me forgive him but I was determined to stay mad. I pushed away from him and sat on the empty couch and sat with my arms across my chest giving him my mad face.

"I just wanted to know where to sit." I said turning my face from him. He sat down on the other side of the couch and patted the spot next to him smiling.

"No way, Mr. Cullen, I'm mad at you," I said, staring at the wall so I wouldn't have to look at his eyes. I felt the couch move as he came over to sit closer to me. Every few seconds he would scoot over more until he was sitting right next to me. When he went to put my arm on me I slapped him and looked over at him, he was going to say something but the back door opened getting our attention.

"Rosalie, leave it go," Esme said, leading her into the house. Esme still looked really mad and Rosalie looked like she was going to murder someone as she took her seat in an empty chair. Emmett came in behind them with a smile on his face. Did anything ever bother Emmett?

"Hello Guys," Emmett said, taking the seat next to Edward.

"Emmett Cullen, get your butt off that couch right this instant!" Esme yelled, making Emmett jump.

"Why?" he asked with an innocent look on his face.

"Because you're covered in mud and animal blood! You are not ruining my couch," Esme said, pushing Emmett over to the far corner. Emmett was about to say something else, but Esme gave him a look that only a mother would give to warn her kids that they were to listen. The skunk spray was starting to come over my way and it was making me cough. I didn't want to say anything because Rosalie would kill me if I did so I got up and moved over to the other end of the couch where the smell wasn't as bad. It didn't help at all and of course Edward moved over by me again. I suddenly felt really scared for no reason; I was cowering into Edwards shoulder. I looked around and saw that Emmett was shaking in his corner, Rosalie was rocking back and forth on her chair looking around her at all times, and Edward was hiding his face in my hair holding on to me as tight as he could without hurting me.

"Jasper," Edward whimpered. Esme went running outside then and after two more minutes we were all back to normal.

"If that little Confederate idiot doesn't keep his emotions in check, I'm going to kill him." Rosalie hissed, grabbing her chair to keep her from going after him. Edward was still holding on to me and when I pushed him away I heard him groan.

"Bella," he whined, as I turned my face away from him to avoid dazzling.

"Maybe you'll think twice before man handling me next time." I said, going back to my pouting position.

"Ohhh, you're in trouble," Emmett said, pointing at Edward, his face lit up like a little kid. Rosalie and I glared in his direction. Edward was growling at him which meant that Emmett was saying something stupid in his head.

"Shut up, squirrel boy," Edward said, throwing a couch pillow at him. Emmett took that as an insult and he took the pillow and threw it right back at Edward as hard as he could ruining it. It was raining feathers all over Edward and me.

"It's Wilderness Man!" Emmett retorted.

"Congratulations Wilderness Man!" Rosalie screamed, from her chair. She had turned her head over to Emmett and her eyes were narrowed at him with a look of evil on her face. "Now, we're going in to more trouble because you ruined a pillow!"

While I started picking feathers off me and Esme walked in with Jasper. Jasper looked embarrassed as Alice filed in behind him and Carlisle behind her. Carlisle did not look at all happy and the look he gave all of us told us to be quiet and not say a word. Alice helped Jasper into a chair and she sat in his lap trying to keep him calm. Esme and Carlisle stood in front of us all giving us disapproving looks.

"I don't want to hear excuses, I don't care who started what, and I don't even want to hear you speak for the next few minutes," Carlisle said quietly, which made him seem even angrier. "What I do want to know is why you all decided to fight and laugh so loud that I could hear you from the free way! Do you want the Volturi to come and hunt us down? What were you all thinking?"

"Well, see, I don't think we were thinking," Emmett mumbled, looking down at the floor. Emmett was just trying to get on their good side. I was going to sit quietly and not say anything and leave the rest of them fight it out if they wanted to. I had learned from experience that at times like these it was better to just shake your head yes and put your foot in your mouth.

"Kiss up," Rosalie hissed under her breath at Emmett.

"Thank you, Rosalie," Carlisle said, not seeming impressed by Emmett's answer. "The way you were acting was irresponsible and childish, and don't even get me started on the Fort! If anyone walked by and saw that it would be on the news! And speaking of the news can anyone tell me why the front page of every paper from here to Canada is reporting a strange bear killing!?

"That would be my husband, the Wilderness Man as he called himself last night," Rosalie said, pointing at Emmett with a satisfied smile on her face.

"The Wilderness Man?" Esme asked, confused. This would be interesting to hear them explain.

"Yeah, the idiot decided to become a Wilderness Man last night; after all of us told him to knock off the act, he decided to show us all that the Wilderness Man could do anything. So he left me in the rain singing his ridiculous theme song, to go eat as many bears as he could. Of course, that stopped when a crazed squirrel attacked him." Rosalie said, examining her nails and looking interested as she talked.

"Emmett, do you even realize how serious this is?" Carlisle asked, getting mad from the smile that was on Emmett's face as Rosalie talked about his Wilderness Man glory.

"Huh?" Emmett asked, making a huge mistake.

"Emmett, you went around and killed so many bears that they are actually reporting it on every meager news station across America! Do you realize how big of a problem this is? It just gives the Volturi another reason to come and hunt us down!" Carlisle said, raising his voice as he talked.

"Wait a minute, you have a TV around here somewhere!" Emmett boomed running upstairs. He was so stupid; now he was going to be in even more trouble.

"Emmett," Esme yelled.

"Just forget about him; he obviously doesn't care about anything other then himself." Rosalie said, rolling her eyes.

"I will deal with Emmett later. Do I even want to know why you smell like a skunk, Rose?" Carlisle asked sitting down and putting his head in his hands.

"Ask the Confederacy," she hissed, pointing at Jasper and Alice and giving them her famous death stare.

"Care to explain?" Carlisle asked. Jasper sunk down in the chair and Alice gave Rosalie her look of death before speaking.

"Well I need revenge," Alice admitted, shrugging. Emmett came running down the stairs with a look of outrage on his face.

"There is no TV here!" he yelled, stomping his foot like a two year old.

"Emmett, that is enough!" Esme snapped, pointing to the corner again.

"Fine," Emmett mumbled, going back to his corner, probably plotting revenge on Esme.

"I really do not know what to do with all of you at this point. I've never seen you act so carelessly or fighting so much. I don't know what you're hiding from us, but whatever it is, I suggest you end it. You all either stop the fighting and try to get along or there will be severe consequences, do you all understand me?" Carlisle snapped, saying each word slowly and severely so we all got the message. We all mumbled yes quietly. I was taking his warning seriously. We needed to meet and either decide to end the bet or figure something else out; I didn't want to figure out what the severe consequences were. "I suggest that you all do your own thing for the rest of the afternoon while Esme and I figure out punishments."

Esme and he both got up then and walked upstairs giving shaking there heads as they went. I felt bad for them; we had all not only stressed ourselves out, but them too. When they disappeared, I quickly picked up a notebook and pen that was on the coffee table and started scribbling as fast as I could.

"What are you," Edward began to ask but I interrupted.

"Shh," I said, glaring at him to let him know that I was still mad. When I was done, I held up the notebook to show them what I wrote in my messy writing.

Emergency Bet meeting! Nod if you're in.

Edward smiled as he nodded at me; Alice gave me a thumbs up and a smile as she said yes for both her and Jasper. Rosalie rolling her eyes but nodded anyway and Emmett nodded looking excited. I held my finger up to tell them to hold on for a minute as I wrote more.

We will have to wait until they're not paying attention. So all of us need to keep a close eye on them. If you see them busy or leaving, spread it around so we all know to meet. Meet in Edwards room and this time, I am in charge of the meeting! Nod if you're in.

I got approving nods from everyone but Emmett; who started to complain.

"Why do you get to be," Emmett was cut off when Rosalie put her hand over his mouth. She smacked him on the head and took him outside to probably fight more.

I smiled at my success and jumped up off the couch to go throw away the evidence. While I was over at the trashcan, to cold arms came around my waist.

"I'm sorry for man handling you," Edward's velvety voice said, apologizing to me. I decided to cave and just forgive him when I heard the sincerity in his voice.

"Your apology is accepted." I grinned, turning around in his arms so I could see his face. "Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go take a shower." As I walked away from him, I realized that I had no shampoo or anything from my toiletry bag for that matter. It was all back at the tent; and from the looks of the rain and wind outside the tenet was probably far gone in the forest somewhere.

"Bella," Alice called as she walked down the stairs.

"Yeah, Alice?"

"I saved your toiletry bag on the way back here, it's up in the bathroom, along with your comfy clothes," Alice said, surprising me. She never just let me wear my comfortable clothes. I looked at her for a minute and then I realized that this was her way of apologizing for earlier.

"Thank you Alice, you're the best!" I said, running up to hug her. "Don't worry about earlier, you're forgiven."

"Thanks, Bella." she giggled as we walked up the stairs together.

"Is Jasper all right?" I asked, curious to see if he came back to reality yet.

"Yes, he's back to almost being normal," she grimaced. "He said to you that he's sorry for the whole hostage thing."

"Tell him not to worry about it, I'm ok. I'm just glad to be out of the woods." I said, waving at her before skipping into the bathroom.

I was finally getting relaxed as the smell of my strawberry shampoo filled the shower when the door opened with a bang making me scream.

"Sorry, Bella," Emmett's voice apologized, making me scream again.

"Get the hell out of here Emmett!" I screeched, what was wrong with him?

"Quit being so dramatic," Emmett laughed.

"Are you freaking kidding me?" I screamed, "You burst in here while I'm in the shower and you expect me to be calm?"

"What is wrong with you Emmett?" I heard Edward yell. Thank god, he was saving me. There was a crashing sound and Emmett started to cuss.

"It's just me," Alice's bell-toned voice said as I heard the door close. "I'm standing gaurd now, so Emmett doesn't come back in. Edward took care of him and Esme is yelling at him now."

"What did he want anyway?" I asked confused as to why Emmett came into the bathroom while I was in the shower.

"He came to tell you that the meeting is in fifteen minutes. I don't understand why he couldn't have told me to come and tell you that," Alice mused.

After I got out of the shower, Alice guarded the door for me and ten minutes later, I walked out of the bathroom with dry hair and in my own clothes. I walked into Edward's room felling clean and happy; even Emmett couldn't take away my happy mood from being out of the forest. I found Edward sitting on his couch with clean clothes on and his bronze hair wet. He looked so beautiful like that. He smiled as he heard my heart accelerate.

"Sorry about Emmett." Edward said giving me an apologetic glance.

"Don't worry about it. No one can stop Emmett from being an idiot. " I shrugged, as I walked over to him.

"True," he sighed warping his arms around my shoulders.

The door burst open then and Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett all walked in. Jasper and Alice sat on the bed together holding hands and Rosalie took the floor.

"They just left to clean up our campsite, so we have five minutes tops, so hurry it along chief," Emmett said, slamming the door and taking a seat next to a very irritated Rosalie.

"Thanks, Emmett," I snapped, glaring at him. "Well from what we heard today we have two options; number one, we take Carlisle advice and stop this stupid bet and quit fight with each other. Number two, we come up with a plan so we stay can stay in the bet. I'm all for number one, so what do you all want to do?"

"Are you insane? We are not stopping the bet, I vote to keep the bet," Emmett yelled looking proud of his choice.

"I vote to keep the bet," Rosalie sighed. Her vote surprised me; I thought that she would vote to stop it so that way Emmett might stop being so dumb.

"I'm with Bella," Jasper mumbled. Jasper had lost that crazy look that was in his eyes and he seemed to know that we weren't in a war. Though with the realization of that came the fact that he was about one more fight from cracking.

"Same here," Edward said, Alice was the only one left, which meant we were home free. No more crazy bet!

"Well, I vote to keep the bet," Alice said, with a determined look.

"Alice," I whined, while Edward groaned and Jasper put his head in his hands.

"Hey, we made the bet we have to stick to it. That is unless you and Edward would like to drop out,," Alice said raising her eyebrows at us.

"Of course not, I'm just thinking about the fact that Jasper is about to lose it and the fact that we will be dead if we start fighting again." I said, getting irritated. This was just all about her getting Rosalie back.

"Jasper will be fine," Alice grinned, sounding confident as she looked at Jasper and patted his back. Jasper mouthed no I won't to her but that still didn't make her change her vote.

"Fine then Alice, it's your wardrobe." Edward shrugged humor clear in his voice as Alice's face dropped with his words. "Anyway the secret to this is to make sure that they don't see us fighting. We are going to have to pretend that we like each other when there around." I made a face as he told us his plan. It was a good plan, but I wouldn't enjoy being nice to Emmett.

"Hell no!" Emmett said, exaggerating each word so they came out long and slow.

"I'll crack before I have to pretend to get along with pixie and wolf lover," Rosalie hissed, leaning towards me. The venom in her voice made me flinch, Edward responded to that by holding me tighter.

"Hey," Alice screamed, jumping off the bed on to her feet, clearly offended by being called a pixie. "I will never pretend to get along with the hag!"

"Well, that's nice and all, but if you want to keep the bet, that is what's going to have to happen," Edward reprimanded. None of said anything as we let his words sink in and after a few minutes I could tell that everyone had came to there senses.

"Fine, I'll do it!" Rosalie hissed, caving. She jumped up off the floor and pointed at all of us. "But if any of you get to loving and start to hug me I will kill you." She stormed out of the room then mumbling something about tomato juice.

"I'm in, anything to keep the bet," Emmett said happily, bouncing on the ground . "I might be able to have some fun with this."

"Fine," Alice said, pouting on the bed now. "Emmett, if you touch me, you will die!"

"Is that a challenge?" Emmett asked eagerly. Of course, he would turn this into a competition.

"No, Carlisle and Esme are in hearing range so I would disperse if I were you," Alice advised, jumping off the bed with Jasper in tow.

When Edward and I were alone, again I decided it was safe to tell him what I was thinking about our new plan.

"This is not going to end well, is it?" I asked wearily, as I looked into his golden eyes.

He frowned, and his eyes were tight as we went to answer my question.

"Definitely not,"
