The Cullens go camping chapter 5

By Gizmo4655

This chapter is dedicated to Princess Of Souls.

I do not own twilight!!! A/N: ok, I no that prank wars are over done, but this will be different! Plus, everyone likes writing prank war stories. They are popular, not necessarily over done.

Previously:

But, she shrugged out of them and said, "Oh, well. You coming Bella? Don't forget they don't know where we are hiding."

Rosalie was the first out the door, Emmett trying to seduce her. She ran right into Carlisle's car, locking the doors. We all knew he could get in if he tried, but Carlisle, even being the wonderful guy he is, would kill him for it.

Alice was second, hand in hand with Jasper. They wanted to take Alice's car t spend their last moments together before they had to leave and declare war on eachother. They also took off first. You know Alice; she's all about being ready and first.

Edward and I were last, jumping into his Volvo. It would be nice with all the peace and quiet. No Alice singing and talking my ears off, no Emmett insulting me, no Jasper controlling my emotions. Just Edward and I, all peace and quiet.

Edward made sure I was in the car and went to place the final stuff in the back of the vehicles. I looked back and he smiled at me, making my heart jump. I looked forward and saw Emmett getting into his jeep without Rosalie. I laughed quietly and Edward did as well, when he came into the drivers' seat.

"So… let me get this straight. You and I in your Volvo, Carlisle, Esme and Rose in Esme's Ferrari (Carlisle bought if for her because everyone else had a car), Emmett in his jeep, and Alice and Jasper in her Porsche."

"Yes. I would've thought that Em and Rose would want to spend time together like me, you, Alice and Jasper, but Rose has different thoughts." He laughed quietly and Emmett flipped him, but Edward 'didn't' notice.

"So, why don't you and I try to be the second ones there and we can go for a walk into the woods. Just you and I?"

"As nice as that sounds…I don't think that's a great idea…" I trailed off.

"Well, I was thinking it would be nice…" He kissed me lightly.

I sighed. "Ugh! Fine!"

He chuckled and pulled out of the driveway. "So, what do you want to do?" He asked me.

"Sleeping would be nice. I didn't get much because of that stupid pixie." I grumbled.

"Go ahead, sleep than love. It's over a 5 hour drive."

I shot up. "Where are we going anyways?" I asked cautiously. Hr smiled reassuringly and I relaxed a little.

"Canada. Athabasca, Alberta to be exact. The Athabasca River is actually quite nice."

"Great, where people say 'Eh'. What a joy…"

He laughed. "A stereo type, love."

I sighed and closed my eyes. "I'm guessing you've been there?"

"Yes, and they have a bunch of lovely historic buildings, trails, sports stuff, and campsites. We are actually staying at one right off the river. There is a water park, Skateboard Park, and the gazebo at the river front. It's quite beautiful. I think you'll like it. Now, sleep, its fine."

I relaxed against the back of the chair, and was about to doze off when I asked sleepily, "What about the sun?"

"Carlisle got that covered, he got this spray stuff. It is actually warm in the summers, and just like Forks any other season. So, the weather is unpredictable. It mostly trees, and it's a small town, there are plenty of places to stay to ourselves."

I nodded and dozed off, finally.

I awoke to a soft shake. "Love, wake up. We're entering the town in about 2 minutes, and I wanted to know if you're hungry."

"Uhh…." I said groggily. "Uh, sure, I guess. What can we get?"

"Do you like A&W?"

"Fast food? Uh, that's fine, I guess."

"Ok, well why don't you take a look at the town. It mostly hills and trees so keep an eye out for stuff that you can trip or hurt yourself over."

I glared at him. "Har, har." I said in an emotionless tone.

He chuckled and gestured for me to look. I gasped.

It really was beautiful. The part of town we were coming in at was the east part. If you drive through farm land and trees for two minutes from the intersection, you see a church in the middle of the trees, and a road labeled 'Tower Road.' Than, drive another minute, and you start through the town. There is a car shop and a 'Jack's' gas station. It was tiny, and half was a laundry shop. Past that you could see a school, and some houses by the school, and some trailers past the car shop. Right beside the gas station was a new motel. And then a group of houses behind that. There was a little road in between the hotel and a 'Canadian Tire.' Then there were some trees, and the hospital with a big 'H' on it. On Edward's side there was a 'Super 8' and an A&W, which he was going to turn into. On my side, across from the road that enters A&W, was another road leading to the houses and the school and hospital, but they were all covered by tress. Then, past that, was an old folk's home, a memorial of the building and a beautiful hill, with a road on the right side. I could see around halfway down the hill, and there was a pathway on the side, then a thin layer of woods. It was VERY green here, but there were tones of flowers and plants that made it even nicer.

Edward was ordering me a fries and hamburger. I could tell the girl working at the window was trying to keep her eyes from popping out and drool from pooling out. I took his hand and she dropped her gaze from me and him. Edward rubbed his thumb over my hand, assuring me that he was mine and no one elses.

We were going again. Halfway down the hill, there was a church and a little neighbor hood on one side, and a boat shop, a new road leading to the bridge, and a road to some trails on the other. There was also another church that was behind a couple trees. Then, near the bottom, was an intersection and a under ground road, that also led to the bridge. On Edwards's side was a clearing, and also some trees, but then a camp site, probably the one we were staying at. My side had the little neighborhood and a little creek below us. And then a car wash. The liquor store was across from the camp site's entrance.

I looked ahead before we went down the little hill. All the streets were going up hill, and there were many stores, the gazebo and the river front, which had an old roman clock on a stand on the camp site's side, which was on a hill, by the river and near the parks, like Edward said.

Edward also told me that the schools, there were three, one was up by the hospital, one was up on another hill that was off of the main street, and the third was father at the other end of the town, covered by trees and woods, but I could see the turn off for the hill it was on.

"The school covered with trees is there for a reason. It's the school with the hiking and skiing trails. The kids, who go to school there, and some at the other schools, have to run them for gym."

"I'm glad I don't go to that school. It's like ALL hills and trees."

We pulled up to a spot that faced the lake, with trees separating the others' from us, and I saw Alice's porche. It was pretty fancy for here as well, but Edward told me that people who live here are used to fancy cars, lots of rich people visit here. Even in the winter, because he said it looks like one of those glittering white places on a Christmas card.

"Where are Alice and Jasper?"

"They went for a walk on the river front, want to go too?"

I nodded. I knew that in small towns people don't bother with stealing or anything, so our stuff was safe.

He took me down the tiny hill that stretched across the town and to the edge where the river was, and where a little path laid. It was stone, and went around the occasional tree or two. It let to the gazebo. It had a ramp on one side and stairs on both sides. There was a little gazebo and a parking lot, and some sitting places with trees in the middle along one side. The other had some spaced out trees, an old train station, a parking lot and a home hardware store. In between was a big thing of green, green grass, and beside the sides of the gazebo were some pine trees. The front of it opened toward the town, and there was a little wooden platform. The back was a railing that looked at the river and the path continued below it.

Alice and Jasper were looking out, sitting on the edge of the gazebo, staring at the Husky and the old hotel.

It was really nice.

"Hey Bella. Hi Edward." Alice said. "I read that green sign over there, and it said every Canada Day, July 1st, they have a River Rats festival with music and games and everything! People just bring their lawn chairs and sit in front f the gazebo and watch the performances, go play games, or walk around town. And at night they have fireworks and people buy glow in the dark stuff and its two whole days! Some people stay here all night, others just leave their stuff here and come back the next day! I don't really want to do the war anymore! I want to stay here and see what the town has to offer. It's really beautiful! It actually an official tourist site!"

Jasper nodded. "There are green signs all over, some with pictures, telling you about the history of the town, and they even have places you can check out. This town dates back to before you and Alice were born, and still has the old trading posts up. The old elementary school goes back to the 1900s and that old train station too. I really like it. There is so much open space and forest that the smell doesn't bother me, and we can go on those trials to hunt."

"I want to go to this festival thing. Edward, can you please talk Emmett out of the prank war, please!!!" Alice begged.

Edward smiled, and then burst out laughing.

Alice looked offended. "What!? How is that funny?"

"No… I… CARLISLE!!!" He yelled.

I looked to the smaller gazebo and saw Carlisle and Esme walking hand in hand to us, Rose following behind yelling at someone through the phone.

"Alice, the war has already been officially called off."

"How?"

"Well, Emmett had some trouble getting here. Actually, he hadn't even made it here yet. He's in the city, Edmonton. Let's just say that there is so much trouble in that city, they don't like people who have anger problems. Neither do the police."

Alice and Jasper burst out laughing. "Emmett got arrested?!"

I started laughing too and Esme and Carlisle smiled. Rosalie came up and said, "Emmett wants me to bust him out."

"I'll go," Carlisle said.

"Wait!" Rose called. He stopped. "Maybe you should teach him a lesson."

Carlisle nodded and walked back to us; while we looked at the town, listening to Alice go on about the festival.

"Its only 3 days away!"

A/N: There, I changed it. I know there's a lot of description, but it really is a beautiful town, and those are real facts. I live there, actually right outside it, just look it up.

There will still probably be some pranks, but not a whole war. REVIEW!!
