Happy New Year! I just decided to post this earlier… This took me a really long time to type… If you get bored with the starting part, just skip to the ending part, where Emmett causes the ground to shake: D.

A New Year, Another Year

Rosalie's POV:

"Get ready for the countdown!" Alice yelled.

We all stared at her.

"What? You all know how to count, right?" she said sarcastically. "So, count backwards! Five four three two one… And bam! It's the new year!"

"Alice," Bella said mildly. "We all have done this before."

"Yeah," Edward continued. "It has been century already, for some of us."

Alice looked hurt.

"Come on Alice. They're just messing with you," Jasper said smoothly. She suddenly relaxed, and all of us calmed down. Jasper was sending waves of calmness again. I sighed impatiently.

"Calm down, babe. It's a holiday, chill," Emmett whispered.

"Easy for you to say," I shot back. "You're always 'chilled!' And don't call me babe."

"Now, now, Rosie," he soothed.

"Don't call me Rosie!" I seethed. "I hate that name!"

"Rose?" he suggested.

"Do you want me to do to you what I did on Christmas when you sang that song?" I asked, smiling sweetly.

"Fine, Rosalie! Geez," he shook his head.

I suddenly smiled. This was Emmett, and this is who he is. A big cuddly teddy bear. I fondly remembered the bear he had given me for Christmas. That was surprisingly sweet; I had thought he would give me something stupid. Like the last time; he gave me a box of chocolates. I don't even eat that! I seriously wonder where his brain was when he bought that. I kissed his cheek and rested my head on his hard shoulders. He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up.

"Whoa! Put me down Emmett!"

"Nope. No way I'm doing that!" he laughed.

"Bella, help me!" I pleaded desperately as Emmett continued to swing me around the room.

"What's the magic word?" Bella teased.

"Please!" I yelled.

"I don't know… What do you think, Renesmee?" Bella asked her daughter.

"Hmmm…" Renesmee mused. "Yeah, go help her, so I can see her kill Emmett after!"

"Okay," Bella laughed. "Emmett, I'm giving you a chance to put her down. So either you put her down yourself, or I make you put her down Take your pick."

"I won't put her down, thank you," he said, still whirling me around the room.

"Emmett, bad choice!" Alice warned.

"Yeah, Em! It won't be pretty," Edward chimed in.

"Emmett, you should value your life more," Jasper laughed. "She is going to kill you man!"

"Oh, I will," I vowed.

"Bye!" Renesmee waved comically. "I'll miss you!"

"Emmett, ready?" Bella challenged.

"Oh, all right. I give up." He stopped spinning and set me down gently.

I immediately jumped back with vampire speed. I growled and bared my teeth.

"Emmett, I love you. But I have to kill you," I flashed him a quick grin.

"It's time," Alice grinned, interrupting my attack. "Gather around now, everyone!"

Shooting one last dark look towards Emmett, I went towards them. I will have my revenge. No one messes with me and gets away with it.

"Carlisle, Esme!" Edward yelled.

"Yes?" They were standing in the doorway, arms around each other.

"Time for the countdown!" Alice squealed.

"Hey Alice," I interrupted. "Why are you so excited, anyway? This has been happening for years, yet now, it seems as if this is the first time for you."

"This is the first time with Bella and Renesmee," she explained. "Without the Volturi. So don't blame me for being all excited. Plus, something's gonna happen after- And Edward, you're not getting it out of my head, so quit trying."

"Evil psychic," Edward mumbled under his breath. Luckily, Alice didn't hear it.

"Ten!" Alice began, looking at her watch.

"Nine!" This time, Renesmee chimed in.

"Eight!" Now, it was Emmett who boomed.

"Seven!" Everyone was already counting along.

"Six!"

"Five!"

"Four!" I went nearer to Emmett. I noticed Alice and Jasper did the same.

"Three!" Carlisle and Esme faced each other.

"Two!" I placed my arms around Emmett. Bella and Edward formed a ring with Renesmee. Hmm. Maybe we should have invited Jacob here. Not. Edward shot me a death glare, having read my thoughts.

"One!"

I kissed Emmett sweetly for a long time, my anger fading, as did the others. Bella and Edward shared a quick kiss, and both kissed Renesmee on the cheek simultaneously.

Later, we broke apart. "I forgive you for doing that," I whispered. "As long as you don't do it again, you should be able to continue living forever."

"Gee, thanks. I feel so loved," he replied sarcastically.

"Ooh, you're so cute when you're pissed," I smiled, pinching his cheek.

"So guys, it's the new year!" Alice began.

We all groaned. We knew what was coming next.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked curiously.

"Don't you remember?" Edward asked. "Last year, we- oh yeah. We didn't get to do this, because of the Volturi."

"Time for you to tell us your resolutions!" Alice said.

"Kids, we have to go," Carlisle said hastily.

"But-" Alice protested.

"Alice," he looked at her in the eye.

"Fine," she consented.

They quickly left. "Hey, why do they get to escape?" Jasper complained.

"Oh, just endure it. I have a surprise after, anyway," she said mysteriously. "Bella, you go first!"

"Sure…" Bella said uncertainly. "My resolution is to… um…try to avoid… those dangerous stuff." She laughed. "If I was still a human I would have said to be less clumsy. Ha! As if that's possible. I'm done!"

"That wasn't much, but since this is you're first time, I'm giving you a chance," Alice said. "Edward?"

"To read your minds less," he shrugged. Alice glared at him.

"Wow, we sure have silly resolutions," Renesmee giggled. "Mine is to… Ooh! Bring Daddy and Jake closer."

"Good one!" Bella laughed while Edward frowned.

"My turn!" Emmett volunteered. "I won't bug Rosalie as much as I did today anymore."

"And pigs can fly," I muttered. Clearing my throat, I said, "I won't be so rude anymore."

"You said that already last year, and no effect," Alice told me. "Choose another one."

"Fine! I won't be so cold to Bella." I turned to Bella and shot her an apologetic look. She just grinned back at me.

Jasper said, "I will help control your emotions more to avoid chaos… Especially Alice's."

"Hey!" Alice smacked his arm lightly. "My resolution is that I will be a better pixie… And that I will bring this family closer. Starting now."

"Oh no," Edward groaned.

"Don't be so pessimistic. This is going to be fun," Alice promised. "Who's up for baseball?"

"Baseball?" Emmett perked up immediately.

"No, I meant sleeping. Of course I mean baseball," Alice replied sarcastically.

"What is up with you guys? Touchy much?" Emmett grinned.

"Oh, Emmett. Ignore it," Jasper said. "They're both PMS-ing."

"Yeah, Jasper included," Edward added.

"Guys!" Alice yelled, frustrated. "Listen, I had a vision. There's a thunderstorm coming, totally unpredicted. Now, it is gonna last only for two hours. So, are we going there to play, or are we just gonna waste our time arguing here? Coz if you're not going, it's you're loss. And its gonna be Renesmee's first time to play!"

The little pixie won again, and within minutes, we were all ready to go there. We went to the clearing where we always played, Emmett bouncing with excitement. We all got into positions. Alice, being the usual pitcher started played with the ball. Bella volunteered to be the umpire.

"Yo Jazz! Looks like my gift to you was useful!" Emmett called.

Jasper was wearing the cap Emmett gave him. He grinned and gave Emmett the thumbs up. "Cap's cool! Way better than the one Alice gave me!"

"Hey!" Alice exclaimed. She hurled the ball at him and it him on the stomach.

"Oof! Alice, play nice!" Jasper called, throwing the ball back to her. She caught it and went into position.

Emmett started doing his usual 'dance'- or whatever you call it- that he did every time we played baseball.

(A/N: Just play Supermassive Black Hole, and you're all set! And since I don't know the basics of baseball, the whole thing will be based on the movie- more or less, so forgive me if everything turns out wrong. I've practically memorized the baseball scene, this is all from memory. ^_^)

"It's time," Alice announced, just as thunder started overhead.

I was up first, and I set my bat. Alice lifted her feet up and swung the ball. I hit it, and WHOOSH- there goes the ball. Throwing my bat away, I started running like mad. I was about to reach it, and my body slid down on the ground. I reached the base, and then Bella declared that I was out.

"Whoo! Out!" Emmett whooped. I glared at him, and he grinned. "Babe, come on, it's just a game."

I glared at Bella as I stood up.

"Rosalie! Be nice to Bella! Remember your resolution?" Jasper smirked.

"Stupid empath," I muttered. "Like the stupid psychic."

Edward heard my thoughts, and he started laughing.

"My turn!" Renesmee squealed. "I want to try! I want to try!" She got the bat and swung it a few times, acting all professional.

"I'm ready!" she yelled. "Go, throw the ball!"

Alice giggled and did her usual pitch. I watched Renesmee from the edge of the field swing her bat… and miss the ball. Esme caught it in her glove.

"Miss!" Bella called.

Alice pitched the ball again. This time, Renesmee was able to hit it, but instead of flying towards the trees, it went flying across the field in the opposite direction.

"Foul!" Bella called.

"Once more, and you're out!" Emmett yelled. "Whoo! Out!"

"Ignore him," I advised Renesmee.

Alice threw the ball again. This time, Renesmee was able to hit it perfectly. She threw the bat away and ran. One second she was there, and then the next, she was at the base.

"Yay! I did it! I did it!" she cheered.

"Very good Nessie," Edward congratulated her.

Jasper went up next, twirling the bat. Alice smiled at him and threw the ball. He hit it and ran. Edward and Emmett tried to get the ball and jumped up high. They both missed the ball, crashing into one another, creating a loud sound.

"Hey guys, I want to try," Bella suddenly said. "Edward, you be the umpire for a while, OK?"

"Hey, that's not allowed," Emmett started to say, but Edward shot him a death glare. Huh. Poor Emmett.

Bella stood there, waiting for Alice to throw the ball. Suddenly, both Alice and Edward burst out laughing together.

"Edward! And you said you wouldn't read my mind anymore," Alice giggled.

"I never said that. What I said was that I would read your mind less."

"Whatever," Alice laughed. "Bella, heads up!"

She hurled the ball towards her and Bella swung the bat… Only instead of hitting the ball, she hit Emmett. How, you ask? Well, as she swung the bat, it flew from her hands, towards Emmett.

THUNK

"Yow! What was that?" Emmett exclaimed.

"Bella's bat," Alice giggled.

"Oops," Bella squeaked. "Even though I'm a vampire, I still suck at sports."

"Hey, you saw that in your vision, didn't you?" I accused. "And you didn't even bother to warn Emmett."

"Well, we should have warned the bat," Edward said. Following his gaze, I looked at the bat, where it lay in several pieces with Emmett stomping over it. Oh. No wonder the ground seemed to shake.

"What are you doing?" I asked mildly.

"It hit my back," he defended himself.

"Yeah, the poor defenceless inanimate object hit you, and now you are having your revenge through attacking it. Real smart Emmett. Now we're a bat short."

"No we're not. Jasper has an extra one, see?" he pointed to Jasper, who was waving it in the air, trying to get our attention.

"You're lucky… this time," I grumbled. "And can you please stop it? I don't like the ground below me shaking."

"Hey Em, I am so lucky I have Alice, and I am so sorry you have Rosalie," Jasper grinned.

"Shut up Jasper," I said rudely. "Some 'twin' you are. Now go play baseball with your new bat. I don't want to play right now… Maybe later."

'Suit yourself," he shrugged. Moments later, they were all playing again, as if nothing happened.

They didn't even miss me.

I sighed. I wished that I would have fit in better. Bella even blended in with them easier than I did! Maybe because it was because I was so rude. I suddenly smiled. From now on, I would be nicer. To all of them.

"You know, you should join them. We're not complete without you," a voice whispered, startling me. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't even hear Emmett come here. And he's Emmett, the noisiest!

"Uh- huh." I just nodded absently.

"I'm serious!" he exclaimed, upon seeing my expression. "See, Jasper is smiling, but it doesn't reach his eyes. Alice isn't so bubbly. Bella keeps looking here anxiously, worried for you. Edward's… probably reading your mind now, wondering what's wrong with you."

I looked over towards them just in time to see Bella shoot an anxious glance at me.

"Are you alright?" Bella mouthed. I shot her a friendly smile and nodded.

"See? Told you," Emmett nudged me.

"You're right!" I suddenly decided. "This is way stupid. Really, really, really stupid."

"There we go! The Rose- Rosalie- that we all know!" Emmett cheered happily.

"Thanks Emmett," I said sincerely. "It's the new year! I should be celebrating, not sulking."

"No need to thank me," he said modestly. "I'm your husband! I lov-"

But he wasn't able to finish, because I had jammed my lips onto his, not caring that the others could see. They already saw us making out a lot of times anyway.

We kissed for a long time. I let go and faced him.

"I love you," he finished breathlessly.

"I love you too, my sweet teddy bear," I replied cheekily.

"Yep, that's me," he replied proudly.

I grinned widely. I knew there was a reason why I married this man.

I don't think this is one of my better stories. This was extremely hard to write. I hope you liked it anyway. Now what I really want to write is part four and six! Go, please review, then at least I didn't waste days typing this… Press the pretty button!
