I know its a little bit late. Rebecca's started school, so the only time we're really able to work on anything is when we plan to be online together, or on the weekends when she isn't camping. This isn't a typical chapter either. Which, I'm very sorry for.
Happy belated birthday to our wonderful reviewer, Kayla M. This chapter is for you!
Oh, Those Crazy Cullens;;

ARTICHOKIEE: I was on the phone with her, she was freaking out. But she got it done
squirtgrl: Alice was freaking out? o.O
ARTICHOKIEE: According to Emmett, when it comes to parties, Alice goes...over the top. But it will be fun!
squirtgrl: When did you talk to my future husband?
ARTICHOKIEE: When Alice dropped the phone screming at Edward about how the streamers were going the wrong way. Nothing big
squirtgrl: I hate you. hehe.

ARTICHOKIEE: Yeah, Alice wanted us to have a girls night. Inviting the three of us. I shall call her right now
Kaylabooluvzu: I've never hung out with Alice before.
squirtgrl: She thought today would be the perfect day.
ARTICHOKIEE: Yeah. Don't worry Kayla, she is fun to hang out with.
squirtgrl: Loads!
ARTICHOKIEE: She always gets the best snacks, and the best scary movies
squirtgrl: And you KNOW I don't like scary movies!
ARTICHOKIEE: Heehee, well tonight..SUCK IT UP! WOOOOOOOSH! mwahaha
squirtgrl: I got my stuff packed and I'm headed to the car.
Kaylabooluvzu: Who's being picked up first?

squirtgrl: We're going to see a movie? o.O
ARTICHOKIEE: Nope. Just needed to get her excited
squirtgrl: We're spending the night?
ARTICHOKIEE: Yeahh. The party is ending late, and Alice wanted us to stay over.
squirtgrl: Booyaka! Glad I live alone then. XD
ARTICHOKIEE: I know right? That means we can annoy Edward, with the help of Emmett
squirtgrl: EMMETT!? I get to sleep in the same house as four hottie hot hotties? Woot!
ARTICHOKIEE: WE ALL DO! WOOOSH!
squirtgrl: I hope you know I'm not sleeping tonight. -gigglesnort-
ARTICHOKIEE: Heehee, me either. Okay, have you picked up Kayla yet?
squirtgrl: Pulling in the drive right now.
ARTICHOKIEE: Woosh, that means I need to get on my cell phone. And start putting more stuff in my bag.
squirtgrl: It'll take us about 15 minutes to get there. With the way I drive. Haha.
ARTICHOKIEE: Haha, then you should let me drive to the house. YESSSSS PLEASEEEE
squirtgrl: Uh...as long as you don't crash my car or get pulled over. I know you don't got your license.
ARTICHOKIEE: Yeah, but it isn't that long of a drive. And I am a crazy driver, and I just got my temps. So I need my hours(:
squirtgrl: Fiiiiiiiiiiiiine. You can drive. There is a train crossing in front of us...
ARTICHOKIEE: TELL IT TO MOVE! haha
squirtgrl: its fine. i'll be patient. gah! Kayla wants to talk to you.
ARTICHOKIEE: Then let her talk to me, you are driving! haha
squirtgrl: Hey again Rebecca!
ARTICHOKIEE: Heyyy Kayla!
squirtgrl: Just when I get on the phone Emmett calls...
ARTICHOKIEE: haha, talk to him!
squirtgrl: He didn't want to talk to me.
ARTICHOKIEE: Well that's not nice. I hope you aren't opposed to me driving, since Lil is a slow driver and all.
squirtgrl: She's not slow. She got a ticket the other day, and is trying to keep it on the DL.
ARTICHOKIEE: OHHHHHHH. Is that why she has to drive careful?
squirtgrl: Yeah. She doesn't want to go to jail or something
ARTICHOKIEE: Yeahh, I can see why. Nobody wants to wind up in jail.
squirtgrl: We're heeeeeeeeeeeeeere!
ARTICHOKIEE: Okay! Let me get on my cell really fast!

ARTICHOKIEE: Yeah! I am driving(:
icdafuture: Keep an eye out for the trees, Rebecca.
ARTICHOKIEE: Dammit! Okay...
squirtgrl: I swear, if you crash this car you're buying me a new one.
ARTICHOKIEE: Then maybe you should stop singing Spice Girls in the back there. That would probably give me better attention
icdafuture: OME! You're singing Spice Girls too?
ARTICHOKIEE: No singing while I am driving! Or else this car will hit a tree, and it would not be my fault.
squirtgrl: Fine. -grumble grumble-
icdafuture: ARE YOU CLOSE?
ARTICHOKIEE: Yes we are. Lil, blindfold her.
squirtgrl: Wow, she screams loud. Turn there!
icdafuture: We hear you. We're waiting for you girls. Come in. Everyone'll probably sign off and then after the movies we'll get back on.
ARTICHOKIEE: Oh yeah, sorry Lil. We are actually going to see a movie.
squirtgrl: Damn you all!
ARTCHOKIEE: Mwahaha, Lil is seeing Batman, lalalalaaaaaaaaaa
squirtgrl: Gay Superhero!
ARTICHOKIEE: TAKE IT BACK, OR THIS CAR WILL HIT A TREE!
squirtgrl: I'm sorry Rebecca! Please don't crash my car!!
ARTICHOKIEE: You're cars life is spared. Just don't diss my lover!
squirtgrl: I won't. I know better...KAYLA HEREEEEEEEE!
ARTICHOKIEE: Hi Kayla!
icdafuture: See you in a few minutes. Wait! I thought you said she was blindfolded!
ARTICHOKIEE: She is supposed to be. -turns to glare at Lil- Lilianaaaaaaaaaaaa.
squirtgrl: She is. Look to your right, Rebecca.
ARTICHOKIEE: Wow. She can text while blindfolded. That is a skill you can take far in life.
icdafuture: She could be half vampire...
squirtgrl: We'll be in in a minute!
ARTICHOKIEE: Get ready for us! We are carrying bags too!
icdafuture: Jasper is coming and so is Emmett.

squirtgrl: Why honey?
ARTICHOKIEE: I need to do some planning with either Emmett or Jasper
squirtgrl: What the hell are you talking about?
ARTICHOKIEE: The dog imprinted on me! It is creeeeeepy
ARTICHOKIEE: Just like ugly, creepy, pizza delivery guys
squirtgrl: Just because Mike accidently knew that you ordered a pizza...
ARTICHOKIEE: Him and Eric both showed up! I was slightly disturbed
squirtgrl: I know. I was tehre. Remember? You wanted to punch them and then they kept making kissy faces. Then we called the cops!
ARTICHOKIEE: Yeah...yuck.

squirtgrl: About her or me?
ARTICHOKIEE: The dog
squirtgrl: Lets go help Kayla and get inside. I want to see Edward.

A/N: Very sorry if this isn't great. Rebecca had to go camping. So, I couldn't do the whole chapter as a chatroom thing. So, I decided that the best way to get the full effect of the story, was to write actual dialogue for it. This will be in the point of view of Kayla. There are two parts to the dialogue!
Rebecca, Lil, and myself all walked into the gorgeous house. I had never been in the Cullen house before. It was...big. Emmett, Jasper, and Bella had their hands behind their back as they approached us. Lil and Rebecca had stepped back a few feet. Their hands were the same as the other three.
What are they planning?
Edward heard me. He shrugged. I eyed the others. Emmett had taken to whistling show tunes. Not this again!
I started to walk to the kitchen for somewhere to sit. The living room had nowhere to sit, but the floor. I didn't want to sit on the floor. As soon as I turned my back, I felt the cool on my back. Silly string.
I thought they were done, so I turned around. Which had been a bad idea. They definitely were not done. I got a face full of silly string. The five of them laughed. Emmett was the loudest. I was going to get them.
"Movie time!" Alice said dancing down the stairs. "We don't have a vehicle that fits eleven though. So, we'll have to split up. Three cars. Emmett, Jasper, Rebecca, and Lil are riding in Emmett's Jeep. Kayla, Bella, Edward, and myself will be in the Volvo. Carlisle, Esme, and Rose will be in the Mercedes."
Rose growled, but Rebecca and Lil were happy. I had an idea of why. Edward started laughing. We all walked to the garage and got in the cars that were appointed to us.

We walked into the house, from the garage. Everyone was talking about the movie. Some of them had seen it before. I thought that the house looked different than it had when we left. Alice must have done something before we left. That's why she was so late getting out to the car.
There was a big sheet cake on a table. Balloons and wrapped presents sitting on the table beside it. Edward's piano was somewhere. I didn't really care. I just wanted to open my presents. There was a knock at the door once everyone had piled into the living room.
Carlisle opened the door and motioned for one guy to come in. It was Jacob. Jacob Black. Wow. He was kind of cute. Too bad that he imprinted on Rebecca. Edward laughed. I didn't know if it was at me or not.
"I will beat you again, mutt. Stay away from my best friend." I could hear Lil getting protective of us again. She was like a big sister or a mother. Always the oldest though.
"Can I open my presents now?!" I yelled at the group, talking about random things.
Lil and Rebecca exchanged side glances. I could see evilness gleaming in their eyes. Those would be the last presents to open. Emmett jumped around excited. Everyone else just seemed...calm.
Emmett and Jasper sat side-by-side between Jacob and Rebecca, with Lil on the other side. All protecting her from Jacob. It was pretty amusing.
Alice danced over to the table and grabbed the first present off the table. I looked at the tag. It was from...her. I tore through the pretty wrapping paper with ease. There was a box...with handcuffs. I looked at her. She looked innocent. I didn't like it. There was something that at least a few of them knew. That same glimmer of evil was in their eyes.
Jacob got up and pulled a velvet bag from his pocket. He handed it to me. I opened it gently. There was a pretty necklace. It was hemp with a wood-carved tulip hanging from it. I smiled at him appreciative. I was saving my thank-you's for later.
Jasper grabbed a box from the table. It was pretty wrapping paper. That is all I really paid attention to. I tore through it as well. It was a pink cape. My eyes opened wide. It was just what I wanted. There was a note at the bottom of the box.
Even the humans can be wooshing-weiners too. Join Em and I sometime.
-Jazzyfizzle-
I laughed and gave him a hug. Should I have done that though? Oh well. Next present!
Edward heard this thought and stood up. There was a small box. I immediately knew what it was without opening it. A CD. "My rendition of a few classics." He smiled and then sat down. I opened it and it was a CD, home-made. All with some really good compositions by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. There was even his version of happy birthday. He was a trip. Perfect in every way, but still a trip.
"Where is he?" I heard Lil ask Alice. Sounded like she was trying to be conspicuous, but not really succeeding at it. She never was. The dye was wearing out of her hair. You could see the blond. Why she wanted to fry her brain, I had no clue.
"Careful. He'll be here."
"When?" It was Rebecca that asked this time. Dammit. I really did hate my friends sometimes.
"Shut up! Next gift please." Had to voice my opinion of their incessant rambling.
Nobody stood up though. I walked over the table myself, grabbing a small box from Rosalie. I opened it up and found a beautiful pair of dangling earrings. They were precious.
I grabbed another small box next. Esme and Carlisle watched me open it. Each had a smile on their face. I saw it, but I didn't know what it was to. A key. I'd make someone tell me later.
There were only three more presents on the table, but I hadn't gotten anything from four of them. Emmett stood up and walked out of the room. He looked bored. I rolled my eyes and grabbed the present from Bella off the table. It was very ironic. Brom Stroker's, Dracula. I had no choice but to laugh at this. I wasn't the only one though. I'm sure that Jacob wouldn't have laughed, but he followed Rebecca. He was getting annoying really fast.
Emmett came back in the room. He had whip cream cans in his hand. I raised an eyebrow at him. He had to be crazy.
"You're not spraying me with that."
"Of course he wouldn't, dear. He knows he would be cleaning it up if he made a mess of my house." Esme said glaring directly at Emmett. I could feel the intensity of her gaze.
I sighed. I had two more presents to open. I didn't know if I wanted to open Rebecca's or Lil's last.
"You have three presents left, Kayla. Not two. The other one should be here in..."
There was a knock on the door. Alice rose and opened the door. She flitted like a hummingbird. I could see her point toward me. I couldn't see who or what she was doing.
I heard a male singing. A serenade. Just what I wanted. This was annoying. His words were so beautiful.
Late at night
When all the world
Is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are
Thinking of me too.
Cause I'm dreamin' of you tonight...
I recognized the song though. Selena. Wow. He could really sing though. Whatever, it was time to open Rebecca's present.
It was a little bag, from Victoria Secret. I didn't want to know. I shook my head but peered inside anyway. I pulled out a loose yellow...thing. It was lacy and...see-through. I was going to kill her. I would have to think of ways. Maybe Bella wasn't over her attraction to human blood. I smiled at the thought.
There was one last present. It was over with then. A book. It looked simple. That is, until I opened it. My smile sunk into a deep frown. Kama Sutra.
Edward erupted into laughter, just like everyone else. The guy that had been singing came in. I immediately fell in love with him. I knew him. I had always had a crush on him. He could have been Channing Tatum's identical twin. It was Lil's cousin.
Esme and Carlisle saw the look in my eye. Just like everyone else. "The key is to your new apartment. The apartment belongs to the both of you. Its been bought. You don't have to worry about anything. Justin will take care of you."
My jaw dropped and I knew what all these presents were about. They all knew that I was going to fall in love.I'm going to kill them. Kill them all I tell you!
"Horror movies and cake!" Alice announced before turning the lights out.
"Yay." I clapped. A lapse in my momentary anger. Oh well. This was the best birthday ever.
"Oh! Everyone. One...Two...Three."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAYLA M.!!" They all shouted it to me. A smile on my face. Definatley the best birthday ever.
Sorry for my lame-ness. Please forgive me. Rebecca'll be back soon. We'll have a better chapter up next. I'm a dialogue whore I think. : R&R!
