50 Things To Do When You're Bored

A.N: This is probably the shortest chapter I will ever write for this story, so please don't tell me that it's short! The game is short itself. I have a few things to say at the end, so make sure you read! Also, this chapter is dedicated to Mizz., BellaCullen12, rescue the wolves, xxPSxxIxxLUVxxUxx, and Coco96! But no one got everything right. Here are the answers.

1. Shakespeare Hamlet.
2. Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception
3. (My friend actually told me this, and I don't think anyone said it. But you guys keep telling me it's Duke of York, so it probably is.)
4. Martin Luther King Jr.
5. Mark Twain
6. Hannah Montana
7. Harry Potter
8. To Kill A Mockingbird
9. Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever
10. Robert Pattinson

Oh I know a good game that we can play today! It's perfect and it can get everyone's brain going, Alice thought from the kitchen. Let's go and see if everyone else wants to play.

"Everyone knows how to play this game, so you can't get out of it," Alice stated, walking into the room. "Bella, I'm pretty sure you even know how to play. You've played concentration before haven't you?"

Concentration, Emmett thought. This game is so much fun! I hope that the category we're going to use today will be random. I have a bunch of random words stuck in my head.

Bella nodded her head, realizing what the game was. "Yeah, I know how to play. And we're talking about the hand game right? I've played it when I was little, and I amazingly still remember how."

Concentration was a hand game. You could play with one other person, or a whole group. Usually I played with my siblings, and we all played as a group. Your right hand would face palm up while your left hand would face palm down. So the people sitting next to you will have their hands on top or under yours. While you sang the rhyme, you would bring your hand up, switch your palm and then bring it down clapping the other hand. It's hard to explain, but it was fun if you were that bored.

At least we won't have to explain the whole game to Bella since she already knows. "Okay, everyone in a circle." We all moved to the floor. I sat next to Bella and Rose.

"I'll start, then Jazz, then Bella, then Edward, then Rose, then Em, then me again. We'll keep going and remember that you can't hesitate." Alice glanced at each of us. "And Bella, incase you forgot, you would always clap twice before you would say the thing."

Our hands started to clap in a rhythm. One two three four. Alice started singing the rhyme as we all joined in. This is going to be fun, Jasper thought.

"Concentration."

Clap, clap. Please let the category be random. It would be so much easier and so much more fun.

"Sixty four, no repeats or hesitation."

It's going to be random now, I can just tell. Emmett! I really don't think it's going to be random. His thoughts are getting really, really annoying. Alice glanced at me and then Emmett and giggled softly.

Don't worry Edward, I am not going to say random. So I really hope Emmett doesn't mind. She smiled at me. "I'll start, names of..." And anyways, Emmett will do fine in this category. You could be random in it too. "Animals."

No it's not random. Of course Emmett would whine on what the category is. Usual Emmett. "Flamingo," Alice started, continuing to clap to the beat. Next would be Jasper.

"Turtle."

"Lamb."

"Lion," I continued, smiling at Bella. How ironic. Comparing animals to us, I would be the lion and Bella would be the lamb. And so the lion and the lamb fell in love.

"Goldfish."

"Chihuahua."

Of course Emmett would still be very random with the animal of his choosing. Jasper sighed, looking at Emmett. Chihuahuas! Emmett has got to be kidding.

Chihuahuas, of course!

"Bear."

"Monkey."

"Alpaca."

Again it was my turn. "Alligator." The animals were getting more diverse. I think we're all just saying what ever is coming to mind since the names just kept coming so fast. You had a few seconds to think of another animal before it was your turn again.

"Iguana."

"Tiger."

Lion and tigers and bears, oh my! Rose thought, laughing quietly to herself. That would have worked earlier too when I said lion. Now that I think of it, no one actually thought of it when I said lion.

All of us had completed a round with out hesitation or thought. I didn't know Bella was so good at this game, even though we already started. It was going to get harder, so I better start thinking of more animals to say. "Pig," Alice went around again. All of us clapped twice.

"Penguin."

"Snake."

"Dolphin."

"Hamster."

"Hippopotamus." I can so see Emmett being a hippo. Sitting around in the water, covered in mud to protect himself from the sun. Hah, I wonder what a sparkling hippo would look like. That would be something to see. Alice's thought made me think. A sparkling hippo or a sparkling human, which one was weirder? I think I'm gonna go with the hippo.

"Anemone."

Anenomme. No, anenenome. Anenonenome. Ugh! No, it's anemone. Why did scientists have to give this animal such a hard name to pronounce? Emmett let out a frustrated sigh, causing all of us to turn to him.

"Kiwi." The kiwi birds. They were so small and looked like kiwi fruits.

We all turned to look at Bella. So far she hadn't froze or hesitated but as we ran out of animals to think of, it got a lot harder. Yeah there were so many animals you could choose from, but the name didn't come to your head instantly. She thought for a split second and then looked back at us and smiled.

"Emmett."
