Bella
"Ten bucks I can beat that random fact that you just said," Alice stated, smacking a ten dollar bill on the floor. Again, as usual, we were seated around the living room talking. But at least we were doing something before. Emmett had said a fact about how honey is the only food that doesn't spoil, and we all just kept trying to beat each other at random facts.
"Shoot," Emmett stated, looking at the money on the table. So far it was just Alice and Emmett going back and fourth, but I had a fact I wanted to say, but I was just waiting for the right moment.
"Odontophobia is the fear of teeth," Alice stated, showing off her sparkling, white ones. Hmm, so I wonder what the fear of fangs would be called.
"Did you know that the king of hearts in a deck of cards is the only king that doesn't have a mustache?" Rosalie stated. Alice and Emmett turned their heads and looked at Rose. "What? I know a few random facts too, we have been alive long enough to pick a few up."
"Well, Elephants are the only mammals that can't jump," Jasper added, shrugging his shoulders like it was no big deal. Emmett and Alice whipped their heads towards Jasper.
"So is everyone in this now?" Emmett asked.
"Only if Bella and Edward can also give us a fact," Alice stated, looking at us. "You have to give us a fact, and then I guess we can all be in."
"The cars in America honk the note F," Edward added, smirking. Of course he would know that, he is so musically talented he could tell what note anytime something came up. They all turned their heads to me, waiting for me to say my fact. I guess I was lucky I knew one.
"Humans burn more calories sleeping than watching t.v," I added. Emmett and Jasper shared a look, of course they would. They were always the ones sat in front of the television watching games.
"Isn't it great not being human?" Emmett asked, smirking. He was sitting on the couch, so after he said that, he stretched his arms and put them behind his head and pulled up the recliner.
Alice just smirked, and sat down where she stood. "This is good, we all know random facts. Now let's hope we hear some that we don't know, and we all learned something today. I'll say one, then Emmett, then Rose, Jazz, Edward, and lastly Bella. We will keep with that cycle, and see who can't come up with a fact."
"In other words, we are seeing who is randomer," Emmett confirmed.
"Pretty much. The sentence, the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, uses every word in the alphabet," Alice stated, saying her fact. I already knew that, but I guess it was a fact.
"Cockroaches can live up to nine days after their head has been chopped off," Emmett added, laughing. I don't know if I should be disgusted by that, or weirded out that that could actually happen. Man, where did Emmett learn this? No, I don't wanna know.
"You can lead a cow up the stairs, but they won't go down," Rosalie said. What the heck? How does she know this? Did she like lead a cow up the stairs or something?
"How do you know this?" I asked.
"I don't know, I guess I kinda just picked it up. You learn a lot of things when you live forever," Rosalie stated, giving me a smile.
"The first food to be grown is space were potatoes," Jasper stated. He said potatoes weird, it was really funny. He sounded innocent like it wasn't a big deal, and that's what made it so funny. You can grow potatoes in space? Hmm, I have never thought of that, I guess I am learning a lot of random stuff today.
"Baby rattlesnakes are born without rattles," Edward added. I knew that one.
Great it was my turn. "Peanuts are an ingredient in dynamite," I stated. I am pretty sure they would know that, but who knows. Maybe I taught vampires something today.
Emmett got an evil glint in his eye. "Hmmm..."
"Don't even think about it," Edward warned, giving Emmett a look. He just looked back innocently. He was probably thinking of how to explode peanuts-that would be a sight to see if Emmett was doing it.
"A squid's eye is about the size of a basketball," Alice added. Wow, that is one big eye. I wonder how much you would be able to see.
"The Mona Lisa wasn't painted with eyebrows."
"Jellyfish are ninety-five percent water."
"Almonds are a member of the peach family."
"There are no clocks in Las Vegas casinos."
"The average chocolate bar has eight insect legs in it."
"Forest fires move faster uphill than downhill."
"Most lipstick have fish scales in it."
"Porcupines can float in water."
"Dolphins sleep with one eye open."
"Slugs have four noses."
"Apples are more efficient than caffeine when you are trying to wake up in the morning."
"Wow these are really, really random facts," Rose stated, giggling. "Hah, I can't believe there aren't any clocks in Vegas, I didn't realize it when we went. Alice, Bella, did you two realize that?"
Ha! I was holding in my laughter, while Alice and Rose did too. "Hmm, I don't think I realized that either, I guess I was distracted," Alice added, laughing silently. The three boys shared a glanced and fumed.
"Now girls, I have another fact that you two would like to know before we start our conversation on Vegas," I stated. "Did you know that Robert Pattinson wears boxers?"
Haha, so I guess I was right when I wrote my other chapter. Okay, so all of these facts are true, even the last one ; ). Okay, so Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are HOT, and I just had to add one of them to the chapter. Tell me what you think about them! Oh yeah, go and vote and check my icon out!
