"Eclipse!" Rose shrieked, pounding down the stairs. "I'm going to see Eclipse!"
She jumped off the third-to-last step and landed flawlessly on the shiny hardwood floors. She adjusted her lanyard pass that gave her exclusive access to a private screening of Eclipse. Her oversize Louis Vuitton handbag hung off her shoulder as she rounded a corner into the kitchen where an array of sugary, high calorie food was splayed out across the island.
"Hmm… which to choose," She pondered as she surveyed the various food choices.
Her BFF, Michelle, sat on the cool, granite countertops, her long legs dangling off the side. She snapped open a Sephora compact her mirror and checked her reflection, tossing a piece of glossy blond hair behind her ear.
"Omigod, aren't you so excited!" Michelle called, picking up a bag of M&Ms and stuffing it into her purse along with a Dasani water bottle.
"Yes! But I wish we didn't have to go three hours before hand just to hold spots," Rose replied.
"Yeah, but I'd rather go now and get the perfect spots than go later and have to sit in the very first row and crane my neck the entire time in order to see the screen."
Ziva walked into the kitchen, letting the double-doors slam close behind her. She unstrapped her SIG and placed it on the counter, tying her thick, dark locks into a high ponytail.
"Come on," Ziva called, heading towards the door, "Gibbs only gave me an hour before I have to get back to our dead Marine at Headquarters."
Taylor emerged from the large family room, Blackberry Storm in hand, texting her friend in Disney. Her dark red hair was twisted into a side braid that tied into a low side ponytail. Michelle hopped off the counter and yanked down her skirt so it covered more of her thighs. They followed Rose out the door, lanyards bouncing around their necks.
The three of them piled into the back of the car and proceeded to converse over which vampire was hottest. Ziva changed the radio station to a song only Rose and she could understand since it was sung entirely in Arabic.
"So I say five times," Michelle declared. She tucked her HTC phone in her patterned Juicy purse.
"What?" Rose asked, clearly confused.
"The amount of times Taylor Lautner's topless, duh," Michelle clarified.
"Six," Taylor stated.
"Three," Rose decided.
They chatted about spoilers they'd seen for the movie and if they thought it would be better than New Moon. Ziva dropped them at the curb and they climbed out. They flashed their passes at the pseudo-bouncer assigned to keep movie crashers out. He nodded and unclipped the red velvet rope, allowing them inside.
"Eeep! Here we go!" Taylor squealed.
"Be cool," Rose commanded, "We don't want to look like overzealous dorks."
This idea had been taken into consideration earlier that day when they decided wardrobe. They all had tons of clothing from Nordstrom, Hot Topic, and even Wal-Mart, but wearing all of that to the movie seemed lame and like they were trying too hard. They went for more of a high-fashion look instead. Rose wore a red and grey distressed Cullen tee over a black cami with an Abercrombie mini and strappy stiletto heels. Michelle had on a red tank top which had a bow over the bust along with skinny jeans and lacy heels. Taylor paired her plaid black and red dress with dark red heels. (Link on Profile)
They found their seats and settled in, beginning the three-hour wait that lay ahead of them.
Three hours later, after Rose had watched a CSI: Miami episode on her iTouch and read part of Envy: a Luxe Novel, the ten-minute previews started. Michelle slipped away her hardback copy of Radiant Shadows and Taylor mimicked her actions, placing Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover safely away in her red Kate Spade bag.
Taylor munched on Sour Patch Kids through the previews. Eventually they ended, and the real movie began. They sat in awe for the entire film, licking their lips at the juicy make-out scenes. They eagerly watched the battle scenes where the Cullens trained and finally faced the newborns alongside the wolves. When it ended, they hurried out of the theater towards the dark grey Mustang with the top cranked down and jumped in.
"Omigod, that was the most awesome movie I've ever seen," Taylor squealed.
"Best. Movie. Ever!" Rose agreed.
"And the part where Jacob was all 'I'm leaving' on the mountain top and Bella was all 'Wait, Jake, I love you'. And then they kissed. So romantic!" Michelle commented.
"Yes and when he saved Leah from the newborn, that was so chivalrous," Taylor said.
"Definitely the best in the series," Rose added.
"Was anyone counting how many times he was topless?" Michelle asked, remembering their predictions from earlier.
"Sorry, I was too busy staring," Taylor replied, giggling.
As they talked non-stop about the fabulousness of Eclipse, Tony skillfully navigated the streets of D.C., considering the multiple ways he was going to torment Ziva over the next week for locking him in a car with a bunch of Twilight-obsessed teen girls.
"What about you, Dad?" Rose asked, breaking away from the current debate about whether or not the movie accurately depicted Jasper's change.
"I'm more of a James Bond guy, myself," Tony informed her.
"But Mom said you read all the books," Rose stated.
"All of them? Really? That's so effeminate," Michelle whispered to the other two girls, causing the three of them to break out in a fit of laughter.
Once they caught their breath and recovered, Rose said, "He only did it to hit on girls. Right, Dad?"
"Well…" He stammered.
"So which team are you on?" Taylor asked him.
"Edward," He stated, hoping this conversation would come to an end soon so he could go kill Ziva or McGee, if Ziva proved to be too hard of a target.
There was a collective gasp from the backseat.
"You can't be Team Edward!" Rose cried, outraged.
"He left Bella!" Michelle said.
"He's an over-possessive, controlling, pompous jerk with bad eyebrows," Rose said.
"Yeah, and I bet if he was a real person he'd be abusive cause he has the personality for that," Taylor agreed.
The three girls came up with a massive list of reasons for the duration of the car ride and voiced them all to him in hopes of persuading him. Needless to say, it was an insanely long car ride. As Tony pulled up to the mansion's façade and the girls hopped out, he decided that from now on, if anyone asked he was just going to lie and say Team Jacob.
