Emmett at the Mall, Part One: The Drive
When we finally got home from Wal-Mart and Burger King, Edward immediately ran to Bella's. I put my pajamas on and curled up next to Jasper on the couch. "Hello, love." I said, kissing him on the cheek. "So, what movies are on for tonight?"
He smiled, noticing the change in my emotions. Earlier I had been very hyper, and now I'd chilled out a bit. "I was thinking Across the Universe and The Brothers Grimm."
"Sounds great." Before I could plop down next to him, my vision glazed over as a vision filled them…
We were all at the mall in Port Angles. For some reason, Emmett was wearing a dress and had on a lot of make-up –
Before I could get the rest of the vision, Jasper's voice rang out. "Oh, great. Another idiotic episode, huh?" He could tell from the rise of enthusiasm in me that it involved Emmett.
I glared down at him. "Yes, dear, another 'idiotic episode'. And this time, you will be force to help out."
"Great…" he sighed. "Can we watch the movies now, please?"
:
I called Bella the next morning right after Edward got home.
"Hello?" she mumbled.
"Bella! Get up, get dressed! We'll be there to get you in twenty minutes! Wear those jeans I bought you and your Dracula play cast shirt." Before she could object, I hung up and sprinted into my closet.
What to wear, what to wear…I thought, pacing in front of the racks and racks of clothing. Hm, how about my new Silver jeans and that Beatles shirt?
Alice, I would really appreciate it if you left Bella out of all this nonsense, Edward thought to me, even in his mind sounding weary.
"No can do, Eddie dearest!" I called to him. "Bella needs to be there for this vision to happen. And believe me – you want it too."
Oh? Pray tell.
"Nope!" Now get out of my head and tell everyone else to get ready. I stepped out of the closet to see Rose already ready and seated on my bed.
"Hello. Now, what's this I hear about a mall trip?" Her eyes glittered just like mine.
"I thought we might have some more fun at your husband's expense."
"Sounds great." Rose slunk off my bed and down towards the garage. "We'll take the Jeep, then?"
:
When we finally arrived at Bella's, she was already waiting for us on the porch. "Hey," she called, waving at us. I jumped out of the Jeep to give her a hug, and to figure out where to put her. With Jasper, Emmett, Edward, Rose and myself already in it, it would be tight. I finally decided she could grab the other back window seat and I would sit in-between her and Jazz, with Edward on her other side.
Everyone voiced their greetings as we sped along the highway. Sometimes I wondered if we could go fast enough so our car would be invisible, but Bella was with us; now was not the time to test my theory. "Why has Edward been so mad lately?" she whispered to me, thinking the others couldn't hear. I heard Emmett suppressing his laughter at her trying to be sneaky.
Say nothing. Edward warned me, snarling slightly
I smiled at him, thinking of all the times he had ratted me out to Jasper. "Oh, he's on the male vampire version of PMS. Don't worry though, he should get over it soon." Turning up the brightness in my smile, I looked over to him. "I hope so at least. You will get well soon, won't you Eddie dearest?"
Anger flashed through his eyes as a vision past through mine. Me, walking into my closet to find the walls bare. The smell of smoke. Outside, a bonfire of my designer clothes…
"You wouldn't!" I cried, looking at Edward with my face a perfect mask of horror. "That's low, even for you, Edward."
He shrugged slightly. Then I would drop the "Eddie dearest" crap, Allie dearest.
You play a dirty game, Mr. Cullen.
I try.
AN: So, since I want to put a LOT of stuff into this part of "Emmett At…" I figured it'd be good if this one was a two-part (or possibly a three-part, since I can't decide). I know there wasn't a whole lot of humor in this one, and I apologize. Hopefully there will be more to come…
Oh, and this one is going to be a bit different. There's going to be teams in this one (read the next part and the teams will make sense), so the POV might switch around a bit, thus making other characters look weird/odd/stupid instead of just Emmett. This part should technically be a "The Cullens At…" but, you know. Whatever.
