Alright, so here's chapter 12. Some of it may not make sense if you haven't read Edward's Mind Games, so read it if you want. I have a golf invitational tomorrow and another match on Tuesday, so it may take a couple of days for me to get the next chapter up, there, I'm warning you in advance.
Disclaimer- Don't own Twilight. Though I wish I did, I don't, and I don't have millions of dollars to buy the rights to it. So it's just going to stay that way.

Alice was taking deep breaths. I knew that wasn't going to work much longer, and threw my hand over my mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
"Here, try this one," she said through gritted teeth. The machine beeped once again and the cashier delivered the same message. 'This card has been cancelled'. By this time, I was taking deep breaths to keep myself from having hysterics right there in the store.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT ONE WAS CANCELLED TOO?" Alice had finally blown up when the third card she tried still didn't work. I felt like I should be saying ooh and ah.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry, m-miss, the machine won't t-take your c-card," the cashier stammered.
I could practically hear the gears grind in her head, trying to put two and two together, finally clicking when she did. "EDWARD!" she screamed, then stormed over to me. "What did he do!? When? Why couldn't I SEE?!" her face was about three inches away from mine, and I was wincing from the volume in her voice.
"I don't know, Alice. I really don't." I said as smoothly as I could. I wasn't lying, I didn't know when Edward did this or why Alice couldn't see it coming. All I knew was that it was hilarious. Alice grabbed my arm and dragged me as close to human pace as she could manage out to the car. She'd left the clothes on the counter. We were silent the entire way home, me trying to hold in laughter, and Alice seething.
Five minutes later, we were back at the house. Alice got out and ran in the house vampire speed, leaving me outside. I wondered if it was safe to go in there, but I decided that I didn't want to miss this. I would just stand behind Emmett. Once I reached the porch, I poked my head in the door to make sure that body parts weren't lying around. Nope. I walked in farther, finding Emmett laughing silently at something in the dining room. I went and stood behind him, poking my head out and watching Alice try to punch Edward. It was probably the funniest sight I'd seen, better than Emmett tackling Edward. Alice would throw her punch, but Edward could already see which way it was going to go, and therefore dodged it easily.
"Why…the….HELL…did…you do….that to me!?" Alice yelled between air punches.
"I could ask you the same question, sis," Edward replied smoothly, dodging another of her blows.
"YOU deserved that!" she roared back, giving up on her punches and moving on to trying to throttle him.
"Oh? Some time with my music is too much to ask for? Come on, now, Alice, you don't expect me to sit there through your explicit thoughts, do you?" he countered.
"Well, some alone time with my husband is too much to ask for, then? So much that you couldn't help but tear us apart?" she jabbed, actually managing to get a hand on his throat, but to no avail.
Emmett couldn't take it anymore. He threw his head back and guffawed deafeningly. Edward turned to look, and Alice took the chance to plant her fist against his jaw. Everything happened so fast that my human eyes couldn't keep up, though I was sure that the vampires had no trouble discerning the events. All of a sudden, Alice was across the room, sprawled on the floor, Jasper at her side. Edward was standing about six feet away, looking livid.
Though I knew Alice was alright, I couldn't help but voice my concern. "Alice, are you okay?" I asked. Everyone turned to look at me.
Alice spoke up, "Yeah, Bella, I'm fine. Your, boyfriend over there may not be, though." Her words confused me. I turned, only to see Jasper in crouch position, growling at Edward.
"JASPER! Don't!" I couldn't help myself. The last thing I wanted was to see Edward hurt. It was bad enough that I had to see Alice like that. Jasper turned to look at me, sympathy in his eyes.
"Sorry, Bella," he said, then turned back to Edward and hissed, "We will finish this on Monday."
"As you wish," Edward replied, then made his way over to me. "Thank you, I don't know if I could have taken Jasper. He's pretty fast," he whispered.
"You're…welcome?" Even though it was supposed to be a statement, it turned into a question. Edward just chuckled.
"Come on, we've got some planning to do."
"Planning?" I asked as he grabbed my arm to throw me over his back.
"Yes." That was the only word spoken until we reached our destination. It was our meadow. Though it was a cloudy day, Edward looked as gorgeous as ever.
"Planning?" I repeated. I couldn't fathom what we had to plan for.
"Don't you remember? Emmett?" He raised his eyebrow in confusion.
Understanding hit me like a ton of bricks. "OH! Are you sure you still want to do that? I mean, with the way things turned out today…" I trailed off.
"Oh, don't worry, Jasper won't kill me. And neither will Emmett. Now, what is it that you had in mind?" he asked.
I wanted Emmett to be humiliated, that was what I had in mind. I hadn't given much thought as to how I wanted him humiliated. "Uh, I thought you were the planner. I didn't really give it much thought."
"You're going to let me do the planning again?" he asked, obviously excited that I was going to go along with another one of his crazy plans.
"Um, well, yeah. I'm not really sure how to humiliate Emmett by myself, he'd probably just turn it around and point all the embarrassment at me," I explained. I hoped that he would make this plan as good as what he did to Alice, or possibly even better.
"Alright, just give me an hour. I'll have something good by then," he answered, an evil glint in his eye.
A/N- hehe. I love cliffies. Ideas, anyone? PM me or tell me in your reviews.
