A/N: Alright everyone. This chapter is dedicated to Siob, for a couple reasons.
1.) She was right, *sigh* I was wrong. My hair does not look like a haysack, it looks like a haystack. :(
2.) She edited this chapter for me. I was impatient and Madi was busy, so Siob edited it temporarily. :)
3.) I taught her to make scrambled eggs. Just thought I'd throw that in there. *grins*

Chapter 13
RPOV
I don't think I'll be able to stop laughing at all through this meal. I knew Mamma Mia's was a good idea! Of course, I realized as soon as Bella suggested it, that it was a good idea. I remembered the pizza-girl incident as soon as the name of the place came up, and who was I not to agree to that level of entertainment? It was all that I could hope she would be working today. That would just make my day. Lucky for me, she was.
Alice, Bella, and Emmett were thoroughly confused. I couldn't stop laughing enough to explain. Then again, I couldn't explain now anyways - the waitress was still here.
"Drinks?" she asked. It looked like she was going to say as little as possible. That would be no fun.
"I don't know," Edward said, looking at the menu. Oh, jeez. He wasn't even going to fake it? I kicked him under the table. "Ow! I mean, what about you?" he asked Jasper. I kicked him again. He was so bad at this! "OW! Jazzy!"
Jasper just looked at him like 'what the hell is wrong with you?' Lucky for him, he was smarter than Edward, and didn't need my help (if kicking could be considered help).
"I'm not sure either, Eddiekins," Jasper said. Oh dear. He was taking this to a new level, and it was very entertaining. "How about we get a milkshake and share it?" he asked, trying to keep from smirking.
"That's a great idea!" Edward said, more enthusiasm than really necessary.
"Um.. okay. What flavor?" the waitress asked.
"Chocolate," Edward said, at the same time Jasper said 'strawberry'.
They looked at each other, then laughed.
Edward switched his answer to strawberry, and Jasper switched his to chocolate. Once again, they told the waitress at the same time.
She was confused. "So which is it, chocolate or strawberry?"
"We'll have strawberry," Edward told her.
"No, Edward, it's okay. We can get chocolate," Jasper told him.
I couldn't contain my laughter anymore. I was cracking up.
"Excuse us for a moment," Bella said. Her and Alice grabbed my arms, pulled me out of my seat, and the three of us went to the bathroom.
"What the hell are you doing? Do you want the people out there to think we're lunatics?" Alice snapped.
"Rosalie, seriously. Do you see the waitress's face?!" Bella asked.
I nodded, still laughing. "You guys don't get it," I said between laughs.
"Then explain," they both said.
I composed myself enough to answer them. "The waitress, she delivered a pizza at our house before."
"God, Rosalie. What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Bella asked.
"She was flirting with Jasper when he went to the door."
Alice glared at me. I held up a finger, signaling for her to let me finish.
"So, Edward and Jasper used to do this..thing.. when girls they didn't like would flirt with either of them. They had a signal. Jasper did the signal without even realizing it, and I saw it. So, I pushed Edward to the door."
Bella's eyes got wide when she realized where I was taking this.
"Edward put his arm around Jasper, and pretended to be gay. It was priceless. So now, when we saw her, obviously we had to continue with the charade."
Alice and Bella now understood why it was so funny to me, and they, too, started laughing. After laughing a bit more, we went back to the table. The waitress was gone, and the guys looked bored, upset, and possibly tired.
"Hello!" Alice said, very chipper. "Miss us?"
Mhm's all around. Good to know our boyfriend's loved us so much. I rolled my eyes at their attempts.
"So Edward, when did you become gay?" Bella asked.
Edward face registered shock, while Jasper started laughing, and judging by the rate at which he stopped, and the look on his face, someone had kicked him. Hard.
"You're one to talk," Alice said, glaring at him. It was no secret who kicked him.
Just then, the waitress came back with a chocolate shake, and four cokes.
"We ordered for you three. Coke's good, right?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah, fine," Bella said, while I nodded.
"I guess," Alice said.
"Are you ready to order?" the waitress asked.
I checked her name tag. She hadn't told us her name because of the shock of seeing Edward and Jasper again. It said Ashley.
"I think so, but could you give us a few minutes?" Emmett said.
"Sure," and she walked off toward the kitchen.
"Two pizzas, but what toppings?" Jasper asked.
"Get one pepperoni and one half-and-half," I said.
"What toppings on the other one then?" Emmett asked.
"Everything on one side. You know: ham, pepperoni, green onions, all that jazz," Edward said.
Jasper glared at him.
"No pun intended?" he said it as a question.
"Can we get pineapple and ham on the other side?" Bella asked.
"Oh yeah!" Alice said. "That sounds so good right now."
"Okay, so let's get this straight. One with just pepperoni, and one half everything, half pineapple and ham?" I asked.
They nodded.
"Alright then. We're ready to order."
The waitress came back a couple of minutes later, and we ordered our pizza. Bella and Edward were sharing the milkshake, and Jasper was drinking the Coke that was for Bella. Whenever the waitress was about to come by, they would move around the drinks to make it look like Jasper and Edward were sharing.
The pizza had came, and we were in the middle of eating when the waitress came by without us realizing it.
"How's that milkshake?" she asked, her tone harsh.
"It's great, thanks," Edward said, taking a sip for effect.
"I know what you're doing," she said.
"I'm pretty sure everyone does... I'm in a restaurant eating pizza and drinking a milkshake," he replied smoothly.
"Don't be a smart-ass. I know what you and him are up to," she told him gesturing at Jasper.
Pizza Girl POV
I walked out of the kitchen with a pizza for a little old couple. I glanced over at my other table, with the hot gay guys. I couldn't help but wonder who else was gay in their group. Surely they couldn't all be homosexual though. The big guy was really hot too. Damn, three hot guys all at one table.
When I looked over at their table, the bronze-haired boy was drinking the milkshake. Then the brown-haired girl took a sip of the other guy's straw. Wait a minute, what? That made no sense. They were sharing it? Then... wait. UGH! I'll bet he wasn't even gay. So then, why...?
It hit me like a ton of bricks. He wasn't gay. The other guy probably wasn't either.
I set down the pizza with a mumbled "enjoy your meal," before walking to the table with the three hot 'gay' guys.
"How's that milkshake?" I asked, using a rude tone, so he would hopefully catch my drift.
"It's great, thanks," he said then took a nice long sip, probably to prove his point.
"I know what you're doing," I said, only a little more than a whisper.
His face showed the slightest shock before he composed himself. "I'm pretty sure everyone does... I'm in a restaurant eating pizza and drinking a milkshake."
"Don't be a smart-ass," I told him. "I know what you and him are up to," I said, waving my arm at the blond boy.
His eyes got wide, and he turned to the blond boy, who had the same look on his face. I knew by the way they looked at each other straight away that they knew exactly what I was talking about.
"Well, in that case," the pretty blond girl started, the glare the bronze-haired boy gave her would be enough to shut me up, but the girl kept talking. "Edward, honestly," she started, looking at him. So his name was Edward. "You and Jasper-" she now looked at the blond-haired boy. "-can be more open about your relationship."
Did she think I was stupid? I knew they weren't gay. I didn't say anything, just rolled my eyes.
"Rosalie," Jasper said. "She knows."
The bronze-haired boy - Edward, moved his chair from next to Jasper, closer to the brunette. She had one hand over her mouth, trying to hide her laughter.
"We're not usually like this," the smaller girl with short, black hair told me.
"Just curious... why would you want me to think you were gay anyway?" I asked.
Jasper and Edward's faces mirrored the same grimace.
The big one with short, brown hair answered my question. "Well, I don't know the entire story, but from what I heard, someone was hitting on them. Neither of them were single, or...um.. interested, so Rosalie came up with that little plan. I don't think any of them counted on seeing you again," he said.
"Oh," I said lamely. I didn't know what else I could say.
"Really, we're here on a big group date," the short girl said.
Now that I looked around the table, I could clearly tell the couples apart.
There was the big guy, whose name I still didn't know, and Rosalie. At least, I think her name is Rosalie. She was the pretty, blond one. Thinking about it, I realized they were a couple from the start. Their hands were intertwined the whole time.
Then Edward, and the brunette. I'd seen them sharing the shake, so I knew they were together, even if it took me a while to figure it out.
Obviously the last two, Jasper and the short-haired girl, were together. They had interlocked their hands as soon as Edward had moved his chair closer to the other girl.
How could I have been so stupid, so naive?
I had no answer to my own question.
I looked over at Edward again. His milkshake (well, I guess it was the girl's, too) was a sip away from being gone.
"I'll bring over a couple of waters. Is that it?" I asked.
"I think so," Edward nodded, looking around at the rest of his group. "We're ready for the bill."
I nodded and went back to the kitchen.
JPOV
Having paid, we headed to the car.
"Where to?" Emmett asked.
"Isn't there a game on tonight?" Edward asked, ignoring Emmett's question.
"I think so," I said. There was always a game on. The girls rolled their eyes.
"We can go back to our place," Alice said.
"Will you guys stay the night?" Bella asked, looking mostly at Edward.
"As long as you want me, I'm here," he said.
"Okay, you two. Can you wait until we're at the house until you have a "get a room!" moment?" Emmett asked, totally serious.
Bella giggled, but nodded.
A/N:Sorry, it was short. I'm not sure if it was as funny as I hoped, but oh well. It is what it is.
So, by a show of hands how many people want to see a lemon in the future of this story? That would require changing the rating to 'M'... so let me know.
Reviews are, as always, welcome. =)
