A/N: Finally! After much confusion and….stuff, I was able to get Chapter 2 up and running. I'm trying to do 2 stories at once so you see how that could be hectic. Sorry I'm babbling again.

Chapter 2 - Lotta Laughs

Edward's POV

This was absolutely, utterly, unbelievable! I had taken about a million and six showers and I still smelled like one of Emmett's old gym socks! Let me tell you now, that is not a pleasant aroma! Definitely not something that extra-strength de-odorant could fix. Believe me I had already tried it. I now officially HATE skunks! ( A/N: No offense to any skunks, but Edward has rage to unleash on you. Run!)

I had just gotten out of the shower for the million and sixth time and changed into some clean clothes. I'd be sure to burn the skunkish ones later. Then, my cell-phone rang from my bedside table.

" Hello." I grumbled unhappily.

" Hey Edward! Why the attitude?"

" I'm sorry Bella. I'm just a little upset with my immature family!"

" Okay…is there an explanation for the angst?" she asked.

" Bella I stink!"

" Oh, don't beat yourself up too much, just tell me what happened."

" No Bella, I literally stink!"

" Umm…Edward, I love you but that kind of sounds like a personal problem.."

"No! I got nailed by a skunk!"

She giggled, " A skunk?"

" Yes! A skunk!"

Then she broke out in fits of laughter.

" Oh not you too!" I shouted.

" I'm …s..sorry," she managed in attempt to catch her breath, " It's…jj.just so funny!"

" I still see no explanation for the humor!" With that, I hung up.

A/N : Well, there you have it, chapter 2. Hate it? Love it? Want me to shut-up? Tell me in your review! Please review! Please! Please! I'll stop if you do! Please! Please….
