3. War: Cullen Sibling Style

Day 2

Rosalie was lying on the bed, wearing her sexiest lingerie teamed with her most stunning heels. After fifty years she knew what Emmett liked.

Emmett stormed into his room. He was frustrated; it was five hours since he and Alice had made their bet and every single plan to annoy Alice he had, had been ruined by Alice's visions or Jasper's refusal to take part. In retrospect he really hadn't thought it through very well. How do you surprise a psychic?

He was surprised when he saw Rosalie lying on their bed invitingly. He smiled excitedly; feeling the lust gathering in him and without a word went to straddle her. Much to his surprise he found himself pushed away.

"Up for playing games, tonight, Rosie?" he asked saucily. He loved it when she teased him.

"Sure," she purred seductively in his ear, having stood up and pushed her body against him. Emmett felt his body respond. Then she quickly stood away from him again. "As soon as you give in with this stupid bet with Alice!"

"Rosie, don't be like that," Emmett almost whined, before trying to make his voice sound sexier again towards the end.

Rosalie turned suddenly stern. "Let me make this clear. Until this stupid bet is over – you are not touching me!" With that she angrily grabbed a robe and stormed out of the room.

What just happened? Emmett thought disappointedly, all his plans for the evening that had formed since he first walked into the room and saw Rosalie suddenly disappearing. Damnit Alice!

*****

Alice knew her plan would work. They just had to time it right. She was sat in her room, searching the future. 'Stage One' of her and Rosalie's plan had worked perfectly, as she watched a frustrated Emmett watch Rosalie leave. Now it was time for 'Stage Two'.

"Alice?" Jasper walked warily into their room. He wasn't sure if she was angry or not. He sampled the aura around her – no anger just a thrill of excitement and impatience. She's planning something, Jasper thought. If I were Emmett I'd be watching my back right about now.

Alice turned around and smiled at him. "Jasper," she said simply.

"So what exactly does the future have in store?" he teased her.

"You'll see," she said mysteriously. Then she got up and kissed him. Suddenly he couldn't focus on anything but her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and found himself pushing her against the wall. "Take your clothes off!" she ordered. Quickly he complied, and within seconds stood before her completely naked. A smirk appeared on her face, and suddenly her emotions were screaming at Jasper that she was up to something, and it wasn't something good.

"Alice?" he asked worried. She ducked around him and scooped up all his clothes. "Alice?" he repeated again more frantically.

"You get these back when Emmett admits he was talking bullshit," she said and then flitted off towards the door with his clothes, stopping and turning to him just as she was about to leave. "Oh and me and Rosalie having taken the liberty of removing all the clothes from your wardrobe as well. Bye!" Then she disappeared out the door.

Jasper rushed into the walk-in closet that adjourned his and Alice's room. The vast majority was taken up by Alice's collection, however he saw the small section that belonged to him was completely empty. Jasper stood staring at the empty space for a moment trying to decide what to do. I just need something to cover up with for now, he thought. He left the closet and scanned his room – his eyes lit on a Confederate flag on the wall. That'll have to do.

*****

Alice was sat in Edward's bedroom, waiting for her husband. His search for clothes would bring him first to here, then to Carlisle's room and then Emmett's. She would be in each room to stop him and remind him he had no chance of getting past her - she would always see his plans.

Alice fingered the lock she had just installed on Edward's wardrobe. Of course a vampire could always just break the furniture apart making the lock pointless, but it was a very brave vampire that would be willing to break apart an antique wardrobe under Esme's roof.

2 Hours Later

SMASH! The sound echoed throughout the house. It had been two hours since Jasper had lost all his clothing, and Alice had sent Rosalie up to her room to stop his planned raid on Emmett's wardrobe.

A furious hiss echoed through the house, followed by a metallic clash. Emmett and Alice rushed from where they both were to Rosalie and Emmett's room, where they found Jasper pinning Rosalie to the wall, surrounding by millions of twinkling pieces of mirror.

"What the fuck do you think you doing?" Emmett roared, pulling his brother of his wife.

Jasper gave a nonchalant shrug. "She attacked me first!" he said calmly, sending a current of calm into his brother, who found himself realising him, as he was no longer angry with him.

"You broke my mirror!" Rosalie hissed. Alice flitted in front of her to stop her planned second ambush on Jasper.

"Get Alice to forfeit this stupid bet or I'll destroy ever mirror in this house." Jasper threatened, sending a wave of anxiety into her to make her even more panicked by his threat.

"You wouldn't dare." Rosalie hissed.

Jasper just zoomed out of the room, with Alice and Rosalie following. Emmett heard them arguing in Alice's closet – where there was a lot of mirrors.

It's not a half-bad idea and it's not like Rose can do anything worse to me, he thought, before dashing into Rosalie's closet. He heard a growl from Alice a few rooms away and knew he'd have to work quick. SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! He shattered all of Rosalie's mirrors before Alice could get to him. SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! Emmett heard Alice's mirrors shatter as well, as Jasper made full use of not having Alice's full attention thanks to Emmett's distraction.

Between the two of them all twenty mirrors in the Cullen household got smashed, including Rosalie's compact one she carried around in her bag. Alice and Rosalie gave up trying to stop them after the closet mirrors got smashed and unwillingly left them to it.

Day 3

I don't need mirrors to know I look sexy. Rosalie was changing into the skimpiest bikini she owned. She walked purposefully slowly past her husband on her way out of his house and smiled vindictively as his eyes stared at her hungrily. She stopped and smiled at him.

"Three words Emmett. 'It's bullshit, Alice." Or even 'I'm sorry, Alice,' would work," she stated and then added sexily, "Three words and you can do whatever you like to me." Emmett gulped and tried to suppress the thoughts that appeared in his mind at her words. Can't let Alice win, can't let Alice win, he chanted to himself.

"No deal." He managed to choke the words out.

"Suit yourself." Rosalie said icily, before walking extra slowly away, giving him ample time to stare at what he was missing out on.

5 Hours Later

Alice had decided to go shopping. Rosalie had returned home and was currently sat around in her bikini, purposely flaunting herself to Emmett, and Alice had told her to make sure Jasper didn't get any clothes. Now she was in her car, stopped in the middle of the road, watching her vision unfold. She couldn't believe what she'd seen. It had been a snap decision, so she hadn't known until now. She knew she couldn't get home in time to stop it. So she sat in her car in the middle of the road and watched as her closet, continuing all her most beloved items burnt down. Then she angrily turned the car around and headed home. She had a score to settle.

"Sorry, I couldn't stop them!" Rosalie had rushed outside when she heard Alice's arrival; much to Alice's surprise she actually sounded sincere. Alice ignored her and stormed inside to where her husband and brother sat, they both eyed her worriedly.

"HOW COULD YOU?" Alice screamed. Jasper instantly went into over-time trying to calm her down. "Stop it, Jasper!" she growled.

Jasper ignored her and tried to explain. "We only wanted to burn a few dresses, but it got out of hand," he stated calmly.

"Out of hand!" Alice growled at him, his calming effect not quite able to keep her temper down. "And what are you going to do about the big burnt out hole in the side of the house?" Jasper and Emmett didn't answer her and just stood there in uncomfortable silence. Alice's face glazed over for a second and then she smiled sadistically at them.

"Well you better think of a excuse quick. Carlisle and Esme are home early."
