Chapter 3:
The Dinner
Emmett's POV
I knew this moving thing was a bad move. One minute we were having our gay moment happily like any others siblings and on the other we were at the past. We're lucky Carlisle helped us. He's like one of these Crazy scientist that invent revolutionary things but are known as lunatics. I don't know why but I feel like I can trust him. It's weird through, to talk with someone from the past. Well, but his daughters are hot. Especially the blond one. Rosalie. Humm… The guy Edward seems cool too, looks like he has a thing for Bella. I'll have to have a talk with him. Still he's better than that Mike brat.
"So… tell me what do you like the most about your time?" Carlisle asked me. Bella was cooking dinner and Esme was helping her. While the rest of us sat on the dinner room talking.
"Dunno…" I started "Cars, motorbikes, parties, baseball…"
"You play baseball?" Carlisle asked sounding surprised
"Yup… our stepfather is a professional baseball player… so we can play really well" Jasper explained
"Even Bella can play" I added "Although she can get a bit dangerous on the field…"
"What do you mean?" Alice asked
"Well, you might have already noticed, Bella's a bit clumsy…" Jasper started talking but I interrupted him
"A bit?" I chuckled "She can't even walk a straight path without tripping at least once…"
"Well yeah…" Jasper rolled his eyes at me. Like he loves doing "And it can get a bit dangerous when she falls down all the time and sometimes take us down with her…"
"Oh…" Rosalie smiled "At least she can play"
"Why you can't?" I asked
"Sort of. I mean I can play a bit. Better than most of girls. But we can't practice much since you know…." She broke down a bit
"We're girls" Alice finished for us. I was starting to get annoyed. Girls can do a lot of things. This time is so… ugh! I can't even think of the right word.
"What about the world?" Edward tried to change the uncomfortable subject "I mean we've just gotten out of a war…"
"Oh… Let's just say that I'm glad I don't live at your time…" I said
"Yeah… There will be a World War II" Jasper said simply
"No!" Alice and Rosalie gasped
"I know" Jasper sighed
"How long…" Carlisle asked
"Well, we can't say for sure because there's some contradictions on when the war starts. Some say that it officially started in September 1st 1939. But others say that the chaos which warned the world about a war was in September 13th 1931. It was officially declared it was ended in August 14th, 1945" Jasper started babbling "But even thought the war ended the chaos stayed. You see, it only ended because Japan surrendered in September 2nd, 1945. The reason is the sad thing. Our country bombed two cities in Japan. It destroyed the country. I think it was a horrible thing to do. Lives were destroyed because of that. But well that's the reason the war ended"
I started at him mouth opened like the others only I was like that because of another reason "Where are you from?" I asked
"Emmett, it's not my fault you don't pay attention to History class. It's my favorite subject" Jasper smirked at me but then asked "Are you ok?" looking at the shocked faces of the people near us.
"Yeah…" Carlisle said "Too much information"
"Sorry" Jasper looked guilty
"It's ok. It's not your fault You didn't write the past… I mean future" Alice said. Jasper smiled. Hahahaha Jazzy has a crush. I opened my mouth to tease him but well I remembered that fathers used to be super ultra overprotective in the past and I don't want Jasper dead.
"BELLAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I whined instead "I'm hungry…"
"You're always hungry Emmett" Bella sighed "I don't know how you're not fat"
"I work out." I said simply
"Then you should stop" Esme said
"What?!" Jasper, Bella and I asked
"You three are too thin you should eat something" She said "Edward, Alice and Rosalie too. I keep telling them they don't eat enough"
"Humm… I'm sorry, but I think it's the opposite. At our time I'd be considered fat" Bella started with those 'I'm too fat' girls problem "And you can't possibly say that Emmett eats too little. He eats all day long non-stop. As for Jasper well. He's normal"
"You shouldn't say that…" Esme sounded honestly shocked
"Relax Esme. That's the 'I'm super fat' speech." Jasper said with a light sight of humor on his voice "All… I mean most of girls do that"
"Why? It's unhealthy" Carlisle asked
"I'm not a girl so I don't exactly know." Jasper said "But girls have this strange way that when they look in the mirror make them see themselves fat while they're super thin."
"Yeah" I agreed "They also like to do a scandal when they think they're too old. They're like 'Oh My God. I'm so old. I swear tomorrow I'll wake up and have white hair. OMG! This is so wrong'" I added using a girly voice while quoting Bella making everyone except Bella laugh
"Hey" Bella complained "My voice is not like that and I don't say like that" She paused "It's too early for white hair"
"Girls…" Jasper sighed playfully "I'll never understand them"
"Neither will I, bro. Neither will I" I clapped his back.
"You don't want to" Bella entered on the kitchen holding the lasagna with Esme behind her "We have to deal too many things you'll never ever understand"
"Like what?" I asked
"Do you really think I'll tell you?" She smirked. Why is everybody smirking at me?! Oh, that's just Bella and Jasper. They do it everyday.
"No…" I responded
"Good" She put the lasagna down.
"You're a really good cooker, Isabella" Esme said. Bella frowned by hearing her full name, but didn't say anything about it.
"But you didn't ever prove it yet…" She commented
"Yeah, but I cooked with you and I saw that you know what you are doing" Esme smiled "It's natural"
"Thanks, I guess" Bella blushed "I enjoy cooking"
"Me too" I grinned
"No you enjoy eating, it's different" Jasper said
"Whatever" I rolled my eyes "Let's get in" I took my fork. But Carlisle stopped me
"Wait. Isabella and Esme cooked so they should give us their permission to eat" He said and I looked at him like he was mad
"Really?" Bella had a mischief grin on her face as she sat next to Jasper
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" I whined "I'm hungry"
"But since I cooked you don't have the permission to eat" Bella smiled evilly "You guys can eat"
"But that's not fair" I complained
"Oh, life's not fair my dearest brother" Bella laughed
"You're so mean" I pounded
"Oh baby's sad" Bella pressed my cheeks like I was 2-yeas-old
"Jasper help me" I begged but Jasper was already putting food on everyone else's plates but mine. While Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Edward and Rosalie looked shocked at us. I knew she wasn't kidding she has done this to me before
"Ok, Ok" I sighed "I'll… I'll… I'll…Humm… Wash your car for 2 months, Wash the dishes and do your homework"
"I was going to let you eat anyway, but if you insist. I'll be happy if do that." She put some food on my plate "Oh but you can forget about the homework. I don't want to fail everything" That was when it sank…
"You tricked me…" I yelled
Bella smirked "Me? But Emmy I'd never do such a thing" She sat down again and I decided to eat while curing under my breath. Most of the table was still looking at me shocked.
"So, Can I ask something?" Bella asked
"Humm.. Sure" Carlisle said
"How come electricity can work if this house didn't exist at.. huh this time?" She asked
"I think I know" Jasper said "Last week when we had a breakout I went to that funny house outside with Charlie. There's a especial generator there. so as long as it is working we'll have energy"
"Amazing" Carlisle breathed
"Humm… Can I ask something else?" Bella asked. Carlisle nodded
"When we come back will we go back to the time we left or…"
"The time you left I believe" Carlisle responded
"Good" Bella sighed in relief "Our father would be worried and then he'd call mom" We shuddered
"Is you mother overprotective?" Rosalie asked
"I wouldn't say overprotective…" I stated "But she's pretty paranoid…"
"If I am not being rude Can I ask you something?" Alice asked
"You can ask" Bella said
"Humm… Do you have two fathers?" She asked awkwardly
"Yes" Bella told her "Our parents got divorced when we were little. Then Renée, our mother, met Phil and they got married. He's our stepfather."
"Why? Don't you know about divorce?" I asked
"Yeah. But very few people have done that" Carlisle said "It isn't something people are proud of"
"Well… in the future it's pretty common" I said
"That's sad" Esme exclaimed
"I quite agree" Bella said
"What are we going to do…" I asked uncertain. "I mean this whole thing is pretty cool. But it sounds like a… movie. I don't know. What are we going to do while we're here?"
"I have plans…" Jasper smiled "We're in the past knowing the future and the past really well… Are you thinking what I am thinking?"
"Yes" I grinned "We can make some money with that and put our names into history… It's perfect we're gonna be…. Ouch" I felt someone neither Jasper or Bella hit my head "What was that for?"
"Being a prat" Bella answered "And in case you didn't notice. We are rich"
"As I was saying…" Jasper kept glaring at me. He's doing that too many times today I sighed
"We can use that information to explore the past and maybe to some considerate changes" He concluded
"Jazz…" Bella sighed "I love how you want to make a better world and all… but I don't think anyone will believe a teenage boy who acts to strangely to them. They'll think you're mental"
"I agree with Bells here" I butted in "And then they'll put you in that house of weirdoes…"
"An asylum" Bella corrected me impatiently
"Yeah that…" I huffed "And then we'll have to recue you in order to get back to our time"
"Emmett…" Bella sighed "We'll never ever let you watch science fiction again"
"In case you didn't notice… We are in the middle of one" I crossed my arms.
"What's so bad about the future that you want to change to badly?" Alice asked
"A lot of things. I don't even know where to start. Wars, Violence, Drugs, The destruction of the ozone layer…"
"Jasper Please SHUT UP" I hissed "You're giving me a headache"
"Yeah. Just because you don't care. It doesn't mean that nobody else does…." Jasper hissed back at me.
"I care. I'm just not obsessed…"
"You are. The thing is you're obsessed about the wrong things…"
"Who said?"
"I did" We stood up and glared at each other. Our foreheads almost touching. When Bella decided to butt in.
"Ok. Cut it out" She put herself between us. "Jasper can you put those things in the kitchen, please?" She gave him a pile of empty plates. Jasper glared at me before doing do.
"Emmett…" She put her hands on her hips. "You know that Jasper's a bit sensible about others feelings. And he actually really cares about the things he's fighting for…"
"I know. I know"
"Then why were you pissing him off?" She gave me that look which can make you want to never ever piss her off again
"I…" I tried to think of a reason but failed miserably "I guess I'm stupid sometimes. I'll go apologize" I went to the kitchen. I found Jasper putting the plates on the washing machine.
"Look man… I am sorry" I said quickly "I know you're… right. I was just being stupid" I pleaded but he didn't turn around.
"Jasper…"
"It's ok" He finally said
"Really?" I asked. He turned around and half-smiled
"Yeah. You really can be stupid" He said
"I'm sorry, man" I opened my arms. "I'm sorry too. We can also have some fun" He hugged me back "Man you're like a bug bear"
"C'mon Let's go back" He said and as we entered in the dinner-room again we found three exited girls, a blushing Bella and two fighting-not-to-laugh guys.
"What happened?" I asked
"We were just telling Bella how she's our hero" Alice said
"She managed to put to men on line. She's so brave" Rosalie said
"Can you stop" Bella waved her hands in frustration "That's just Emmett and Jasper. They're my brothers"
"I don't know Bella" Jasper teased "You can be pretty scary when you want to"
"Like that time when that, what was his name… Jimmy-or-something, stole your favorite book." I laughed, So did Jasper "If looks could kill he'd be dead by now"
"Yeah he almost peed on his pants" Jasper added
"Guys" Bella blushed
"You're amazing" Alice said
"It's not me. It's your time" Bella said "I mean…. On my time woman con so everything men can do and they can also do everything they can't. The best is that most times they do it even better. I might also add that they do it a good part of it wearing high-heels"
"No way" Rosalie breathed "You mean if I wanted to study mechanics I could…"
"There'd no problems at all" Bella smiled
"If I wanted to wear something that showed my ankles or my shoulders…" Alice started
"Considering that some girls walk around almost naked you can wear whatever you like" Bella said
"They walk around almost naked?!" Rosalie reaped in disbelief "Edward would die there"
"It's just an expression" I said "They just wear small…. Clothes. But it's not all of course."
"Yeah. Sometimes it's even ugly and vulgar" Jasper added "But still they wear a little… okay less than you. It's complicated"
"Well. We can talk about that later. Now we have to go. You have class tomorrow" Esme said. Poor kids. I wouldn't be able to stay on school knowing there were people from the future waiting for me…
"Oh" Alice mumbled sadly
"You can come around tomorrow" I said
"Okay" She smiled
"Thanks for the dinner Isabella" Carlisle said "You are a lovely cooker"
"Bella" Bella corrected but smiled "Call me Bella please and thank you. We accompanied them to the door.
"We're not sure when we will be able to come" Esme apologized
"It's ok. Just knock. I would give you our number but it's not working. I mean the cell phone is but it isn't calling. Since cell phones weren't invented yet. It's not surprising" Jasper said
"Well the see you tomorrow" Rosalie said
"Yeah" We agreed
"Bye" Alice smiled and Edward waved. They left on what-they-call-car and went home. We walked back inside and sat on the sofa
"So what do you think?" Bella asked
"I've gone mental" I said and they laughed
"I think I'm dreaming" Jasper said
"Well I do too but I was talking about the Cullens" Bella said
"I don't know why but I think I can trust them" I said
"For some reason me too" Jasper said and Bella nodded.
"I just hope we won't be here for long. I miss my own time' She commented
"I agree" I said "But think of the bright side. No parents to control us, being able to do whatever we want to…"
"Honestly Emmett…" Jasper said "It hasn't changed much. Back at ho-Phoenix it was the same…"
"I guess" I sighed.
"Look it has been a long day. I'm tired I'll go to bed" Bella said. She kissed each of us on the cheek and said "Goodnight" She then walked upstairs and all we heard was a door closing.
"I'm going to bed too" Jasper told me told me
"I think I'll stay up a bit longer" I said
"Okay. Goodnight" We high-fived me and walked up-stairs too.
This whole thing is too crazy. I still can't believe it. All of that is unbelievable. Humm… I wonder if the TV is working….
