The Denali sisters have come to pay us a visit.
Us girls now overpower the boys.
Which means we have dibs on the TV at all times, much to the boys' displeasure.
Jasper walks in and takes a seat on the floor. It's pretty much the only available spot left in the room.
"What are you guys watching?" he asks.
"Glee," Bella and I answer at the same time. Rosalie, Esme, Tanya, Kate, and Irina don't even bother responding.
"Looks lame," he says.
"You look lame," Bella replies.
Most of the girls giggle while continuing to watch the show. Jasper just rolls his eyes. He's used to Bella's weak comebacks.
The character Kurt, from the show, follows his crush into a room full of hot guys and they start singing Teenage Dream.
"I'm pretty sure that's my teenage dream," I sigh. Tanya high-fives me. Jasper scoffs.
"I still can't believe Kurt betrayed his friends like that," Kate says.
"I know right!" Tanya exclaims, while Bella shouts, "He had too!" at the same time.
"Did not! He took his dad's honeymoon money so he could live the good life at an all-boys school. I'd do the same thing. I mean, come on, he –" Kate argues.
Jasper cuts Kate off, "Stop, stop, stop… I have no idea what you are talking about. You are all speaking gibberish and I am leaving now."
"Suit yourself," I say.
Edward and Carlisle walk in the room as Jasper stands up.
"Are you still watching this? You've been at it for hours now," Edward complains.
We all ignore him. He looks around waiting for a response. He frowns at the lack of attention he's been given. I'm busy plotting how to get Carlisle and Esme to send the boys to boarding school. It would be so awesome with all the sneaking around.
"No, Alice, no way!" Edward growls.
Bella looks up at Edward, confused. "What?" She looks over at me. "What!"
"Alice is fantasying about school uniforms and communal showers."
"That doesn't sound so bad." Jasper grins saucily.
"An all boys school."
"You didn't say that part." Jasper's grin disappears.
"Whatever, Jasper, you still think it sounds good." Tanya giggles.
"Alright, I'm out. I had enough of the harpies." Jasper brushes by Edward and Carlisle as he exits the room.
"No, Jasper, don't go," I call out softly and sardonically. Once he's out of sight, I go back to staring at the TV screen.
"They really need to make VD television," I complain. Edward is rolling his eyes. He can see my train of thought. He takes Jasper's spot on the floor. Carlisle is already leaving. I don't think this show is to his liking. He'd probably stay if it was Frasier.
Kate, Bella, and Irina crack up. Tanya would have too, but she is too busy drooling over Puck, another character from the show.
"No, you whores. Not VD - VD, but VD television. Like, Vamp Definition television. This HD crap still looks too pixilated for me."
Kate, Bella, and Irina don't care that I cleared that up. They are still laughing.
"Shh," Rosalie shushes angrily. "I can't hear the show over your excessive cackling."
Esme tsks. "Now Rose, be nice. The girls are just having a good time."
"Whatever," Rosalie mumbles.
I look over at my bro-dog. "Why are you willingly in the witches' den?"
"I actually like this show," Edward replies.
Almost every female in the room turns their head his way. "Really?" three of us exclaim. Esme doesn't even bat an eyelash. She knows her kids so well.
"I happen to like musicals. And before you make another gay joke at my expense, may I remind you I used to watch a lot more movies than anyone else. I had more time on my hands. Musicals used to be very popular back in the day. Cinema was much more innocent." Edward was going to continue his rant, but Rose had had enough.
"Ok, ok. We get it. Shut up already. Some of us want to watch the show."
Bella slides down from her spot on the couch and curls up with Edward. She smiles up at him as he smiles down at her. I may or may not make a vomiting noise. They may or may not glare back at me.
An hour later, Edward groans. I'm a little afraid to look over. I don't want to be traumatized for eternity.
However, I groan too as Emmett busts into the room. I wish I had seen this coming.
"Dude, have you guys been to this site Texts from Last Night?" he bellows.
"Yes, Emmett. That got old months ago," Rose bitches.
He starts laughing. "But there is one on here that I swear was written about Esme." He starts laughing even harder. I'm surprised he could get the words out.
"What?" Esme asks. "What are you talking about?"
Emmett reads from his phone, even though I'm sure he remembers whatever he's about to say.
"Nothing makes my dick softer than hot girls in rain boots."
This time Kate, Bella, Irina, Tanya, and Rosalie crack up. Esme gasps and covers her mouth.
"Emmett!" Esme scolds.
"What? You are always wearing those ugly-ass Wellies when you garden. Jasper and I keep telling you how dorky they are."
"They are functional. Not everything is about fashion," Esme replies sternly. She even puts her hands on her hips.
I raise my hand. "I beg to differ. Everything is about fashion."
"Shut up, Alice," Esme, Rosalie, and Bella reprimand.
I stick my tongue out at them.
"Esme, don't let him get to you. I like your boots. I had some myself before Alice threw them away," Bella says to try and comfort her.
Edward looks her in the eyes and says, "And you were super cute in them."
I make the vomiting noise again, that I may or may not have made earlier. Emmett starts laughing all over again. He's even holding his sides. As if he could really be in pain. Please.
Carlisle joins us. He's grinning. Emmett sees his face and continues laughing. I look over to find an unhappy Esme.
"You have something you want to add, Dear?" Esme sneers. I didn't know Esme could sneer. Nice.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. I couldn't help but overhear. I just had to come down to join in on the discussion," Carlisle says.
"And why is that?" she asks.
"Well, because I had to make it clear that no matter what you wear – be it a paper bag covered in deer guts – that you are still the most beautiful woman in the world."
Esme's hands drop from her hips and her eyes glow. "Oh, Carlisle," she sighs.
Kate, Irina, and Tanya sigh too.
Bella winks at me. We know how smooth Carlisle can be. We chat about it a little too much.
Emmett is the one to make the vomiting noise now. Edward chuckles.
"Can you all please be quite now? I am trying to watch this show!" Rosalie yells through gritted teeth, her eyes focused on the TV.
Emmett makes an oh shit face and backs out of the room. Esme walks toward Carlisle like he's the only person in the room. He takes her hand and they leave the house together. I don't have to tell you what their plans are.
Edward is pouting and whispers to Bella, "I should have said that instead of just calling you cute." She just rolls her eyes.
All this sappiness is getting to me, but not in a good way. I need an escape.
"Hey Bella, you want to go play Call of Duty with me?" I ask.
"Yes, thank god. All this cheese is making me lactose intolerant."
"Don't you want to watch Glee with me?" Edward asks, using the puppy dog eyes.
"Cute, Edward, but I want to go play video games with Alice. Then maybe we will try on cute clothes or go eat a cute deer." She leaves the room. I follow. Rose snorts out a laugh.
As we climb the stairs to the second floor I can see her smirk. She's not really mad at Edward.
"If you really try on cute clothes with me I will tell you how he plans to make it up to you," I whisper pleadingly.
"Nah, that will only ruin the surprise," she whispers back.
"You hate surprises," I whisper harshly.
"Not as much as I hate trying on clothes." I know she is smiling. Her smile grows as I start whining.
"Stop your moaning and save your aggression for the field."
"Oh, it's on like Donkey Kong!" I threaten.
Thank you Jessica. For doing stuff.
Thank you Taco Friends for giving me ideas.
