Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight; Stephanie Meyer does. I don't own Indiana Jones or Star Wars either; Gorge Lucas owns those. I don't own The Mummy movies or the Back to the Future trilogy, since Universal owns them. Oh, and I also don't own Pirates of the Caribbean or Clue, as Disney and Parker Brothers do. I own nothing, I'm just using them.
Midnight
Chapter 22:
South Dakota?
BPOV
I woke up the next morning in Edward's arms as usual.
"Morning, love," he whispered, as to not wake my parents or siblings. Grandpa was in Utah, working on a project for a few weeks, and as for grandma, she got up every morning at four to go to work until 6 at night. We had the house to ourselves at the time being.
"Morning," I whispered back, jut as quietly. I yawned dramatically and pretended to stretch. He let go of me so I could do so.
I go up out of the bed reluctantly, and headed for my dresser.
"So," he began casually as I sifted through my clothes, trying to find an Alice- approved outfit, as to avoid another makeover. "While I was taking the Volvo home last night, Esme told me that she and Carlisle have a proposition for us to all consider, so we had to bring Rose and Jasper along when we visited today."
"Oh."
"Yes. So you might want to go get Rose up; I'll get Jasper." And with that, he was out the door, which gave me a few minutes to get dressed.
"No, Edward I don't... Don't wanna get up," I heard a sleepy Jasper complain sleepily from down the hall. "Fivemoreminutes..."
"Well, you have to!" Edward replied.
"Oh, fine... Ah! Edward! Where the heck did you come from, man?" Jasper freaked out. I'd have to remember to have him come over and wake him up more often.
I heard Edward chuckle, which in turn made me laugh. Once I was finished, I headed down the hall to the bathroom and got a bucket of cold water- the only efficient way to wake her up,- and headed down the hall to Rose's room.
*******
Edward went to retrieve the Volvo to take us, since my car was way too slow for his liking. And, because there wasn't any room for the four of us in the first place. It was against the law to ride in the trunk of a truck in Forks, so Jasper had to lay down every time. (A/N I don't really know if it's against the law, so just pretend! :D)
He came back fast, and we all piled in; I was in front with Edward, and Rose and Jazz in the back. Rosalie was still mad at me for the water, but I could really care less. I did it all the time, and she usually forgave me within the first hour. And the worst she's ever done is hit my arm.
Thanks to Edward's scary driving, it took only three minutes in counting to reach the Cullen's huge house.
Rose and Jasper got out, and Edward came around to my side to open my door for me. I got out and he wrapped his arm around my waist, leading me to the door.
Alice and Emmett were sitting on the couch, Alice had a huge grin on her face and Emmett looked like he was worried for his sister's health.
Esme greeted us at the doorway with two hugs, one for me and one for Edward, and a kiss on my cheek.
Carlisle came down the staircase then with a nicely wrapped box with a gold bow on top.
"Who can guess what's in here?" he asked once he made it to he front room.
"Fireworks?" Emmett guessed. Carlisle shook his head.
"A present for me?" Rose asked. He shook his head again. The rest of us shrugged
"Plane tickets?" I asked.
"Yep."
I was guessing, I didn't actually think there would be plane tickets.
"Ohh to where??" Rose squeaked.
"South Dakota," Carlisle and Esme said together.
Everyone was quiet; no one talked. Instead, we all sat there; staring at them, with our mouths wide open.
"Seriously?" Emmett asked, not believing.
Esme nodded to him. "Nuh uh! We're not going to South Dakota you're lying!" he accused. Carlisle shook his head.
"Well, what is there to do in South Dakota??" I asked.
"Lots," Edward replied. "Mt. Rushmore, mines, crystal caves, and the list goes on."
"I don't believe you," Emmett said simply.
"Well, that's up to you," Carlisle told him. "But it is definitely a fact that this family needs a vacation."
Emmett groaned. "Well, couldn't we have gone to Disneyland or something? Oh oh oh we could let's to Universal Studios! I wanna ride The Mummy!"
"That's awesome!" Jasper crowed, giving Emmett a high five.
I rolled my eyes at them. "Well I think that's a wonderful idea," I told Esme.
She grinned. "I really think you would like South Dakota, Bella." She turned to the boys. "And we already booked the hotel; there's no going back on our decision."
Emmett growled.
********
-Next day-
Edward was already packed for the trip, and so was everyone else except Alice. She couldn't decide on what pair of shoes to take. Poor Jasper came out of the house lugging a heavy suitcase. "What the heck is in there?" I asked.
"Shoes," he breathed. "Fifty pair..."
She didn't need that many. And why the heck did she even have 50 pairs of shoes? I was lucky if I had five at the most.
Carlisle shook his head. "No. No no. Tell her to limit it to ten." Jasper groaned and began to lug it into the house again.
I felt bad for him, but if I helped either I wouldn't do a very good job, or with my luck, we'd fall down the steps.
We were all packed and ready in the big suburban that Esme and Carlisle had rented. Everyone had already claimed spots; Emmett made sure to be in the middle of the front seat, as to have the best view of the built- in DVD player, Jasper and Rose beside him. Alice wanted to have a seat next to me, so she could do my make up -unfortunately, - so I was in the middle in the back, right behind Emmett. For an hour - Rose and I made sure the suberban wasn't fast; we didn't feel like dying. - Joy.
"What movies did you bring?" Jazz asked Carlisle.
"None. Ask Emmett."
Jasper turned to Em. "So?"
He reached under his seat and brought out a red tin movie case. He opened it and began skimming through its contents. "Uhh... Star Wars movies... Indy movies... The Mummy movies" -he looked at Esme. "Because I can't ride The Mummy the movies will have to do." He sniffed, and went back to naming the movies. "And I got Pirates 1 2 and 3... Back to the Future trilogy...Ohh and I even brought Clue! I love that movie." (A/N: Yeah, the 13 year old likes movies that are ten years or older than she... Sue me! Lol jk please don't...)
Rose looked at Emmett. "I thought Clue was a board game."
"It is," Edward told her, "But they made a movie on it a while back. It's actually very funny."
"Yeah they got the peoples runnin' all over the place, and you know who did it? It was-"
Edward put his hand over his brother's mouth. "Let her see for herself," he hissed.
"Fine," I think was Emmett's reply; Edward's hand was still over his mouth, so it was hard to tell.
Everyone laughed. Emmett took Clue out of the case and put it in just as Carlisle pulled out of the driveway.
We finished Clue (it ended up being Miss Scarlett that did it, because we put it on random,) and had just gotten to the part in The Mummy when the boat catches on fire when we pulled into the airport parking lot.
It took forever getting through security (A/N: it really does! I fly all the time and the line is never short for me) but eventually we were able to make it to the gate and check in.
That was when I realized where we were going. "Esme?" I asked. "Why does it say we're going to Burbank if we're going to South Dakota?"
She slid me a piece of paper.
Because, it read, Emmett has been begging to go to Universal Studios and Disneyland for a long time now, so we extended the trip. We're going to Disneyland for a few days, then Universal for the rest of the week, and then we're going to South Dakota for a week. I already informed your parents and they're fine with it. We're all set.
I smiled at her. I hadn't been there for a long time, and I really didn't blame Emmett. I missed The Mummy; I missed being able to go backwards at so many miles an hour and know you're going to come out safe. I was very happy they extended the trip.
I missed Disneyland too. If nothing matched up to The Mummy, Indiana Jones was a very close second.
I smiled at Esme. "Brilliant idea," I told her, and she grinned back.
"I'm glad you think so," she replied, and pulled an iPod out of he pocket. "Here, give this to him and turn it up all the way so he won't know where we're going." And she ushered me away.
I skimmed through the iPod's contents before choosing I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace.
"Hey Emmett!" I called.
"Yeah?" I held up the iPod, and he ran like a bat out of heck. He yanked it out of my hand and put the headphones in.
I had made sure beforehand that the volume was up to it's loudest, and he didn't seem to mind. Which I found odd; Edward would have.
At that moment, they announced the flight. "Southwest flight 23638 heading for Burbank is now boarding," said the voice.
I had picked just the right timing. What I needed to find out now was WHY we were keeping this a secret from him...?
