This one is purely fun, with the girls sneaking up in the boys room and taking payback from them for the 'good' deeds they did. Enjoy!

Payback Time!
It was about eight in the morning when Rose gently woke me up.
Thank god! It was Rose who woke me up, cauz if it would have been Alice then I would have been on the floor right now.
Last night I slept on the couch, so right now my neck was totally stiff. I slowly woke up only to find me and Rose alone in the room.
"Where's Alice?" I asked as I looked around for her.
"I sent her to take a bath." She said. "But you might know that when she comes back she is going to play Bella Barbie with you." She added with a chuckle, I groaned.
"Why does Alice appear so evil sometimes?" I wondered loudly.
"Well I have no idea, maybe….." But she was cut off by a chiming voice.
"Well, that's because you're not exactly like a girl." She said, I glared at her. "I mean you are a girl, but your tastes, well what can I say about that?" She amended with her trademark grin, the grin that told me that it's time to play Bella Barbie and there's no way I will be able to escape it.
"Ok Alice, what do you want me to do?" I asked, defeated.
"Well, first of all get your butt of the couch and go take a shower like a nice girl." She commanded.
"And what are you going to do in the meantime?" I again wonder aloud, but the look on her face told me that I shouldn't have asked that. Shit. I mentally cursed my big mouth.
"Well, in the meantime, I am going to set clothes for you. So hurry." I shuddered at the mental image of Alice picking clothes for me. I think Rosalie noticed my face, so she came near and whispered in my ear.
"Don't worry, Bella. I am not going to let Alice go too far with the clothes." I relaxed.
"Thanks" I whispered, she nodded. I grabbed a towel and went towards her room sized bathroom. I quickly striped off my clothes and stepped into the warm shower, it was relaxing and calming. The best thing is that the warm water won't run out. I stood in the shower for a few minutes until I got distracted by the loud banging on the door.
"Come on Bella, What's taking you so long?" I heard a pixie – like voice screaming from the other side of the door, I chose to ignore it. But after a few minutes I decided to step out of the shower. As soon as I stepped out, I felt its effect wearing out. I groaned. At first I considered going back in the shower, but then I quickly grabbed the towel and wrapped it around myself when the banging grew loud and fierce. Apparently, Alice got irritated and started banging loudly and threatening me to pick on the lock. But I was sure she would not do any such thing, and even if she did, Rosalie would not let her. As I opened the door I found a blue sundress lying on the bed. I looked at it, horrified.
"Alice!" I screamed.
"Oh, come on Bella. It's not that bad." She said, emerging in a yellow sundress herself.
"Alice. Are you trying to freeze me to death? I mean its December for crying out loud." I practically screamed at her.
"Bella, what makes you think I am going to let you go outside in this? We are staying indoors, that's why I picked up this dress." She explained.
"Bella, I think you should wear it. It's the best dress I could get you, I don't think you would like to wear the other one." Rosalie said, emerging from her walk in closet in a sundress herself. I looked at her and her look conveyed the thing I wanted to know, so without arguing anymore with Alice I went in and changed in the sundress. It was a blue sundress. It was a front button – up shirt, with an extremely low neck line. It was really exposing, especially in the front. But being Alice it could have been worse, I shuddered at the consequences. When I got out from Rose's bathroom, Alice squealed in joy, I sighed in defeat.
"Cheer up Bella. You look stunning in that." Alice said, exited.
"Yeah Bella, Alice is right. You really look nice in that." Rosalie said, I smiled timidly, knowing about the torture that awaits for me. Alice went and pulled out a chair for me to sir, I obeyed and quietly sat on it. As soon as I sat Alice started her work.
"Ok. Now, Rosie you do the hair and I'll do the makeup." Rosalie nodded and went to work while Alice applied makeup on my face like a professional. In the meantime, Rosalie was curling my hair. I sat there for about ten minutes and when I was done then both came in front to examine me as if I was a science project, suddenly I started feeling self conscious.
"Alice, would you stop staring at me." I asked as politely as I could.
"Ok, now you are almost done." She said as she walked off into the closet. I stood up and walked towards the floor length mirror to get a full view of myself, just as I was about to reach Alice came out of nowhere and stopped me. "Where do you think you are going?" She asked.
"Towards the mirror." I explained, puzzled.
"I said that you where almost done, not completely done." As she spoke she drew out a pair of shoes for me, I held my breath for what danger trap she would bring me next. To my utter relief they where just a pair of ballet flats, I looked at Rosalie entering the room and gave her a grateful smile, she nodded. I happily stepped into my shoes. "Now, you can see yourself." Alice literary pushed me in front of the mirror.
"Jezz Alice, relax." I said as I stood in front of the mirror, then I noticed my reflection. It was like a beautiful woman had taken my place, she stood there elegantly, something that I thought I could never do. Her dress fitted her perfectly, it bought out the paleness of her skin. The makeup on her face was light and her hairs where left open with slightly curled at the end. There was no way that the woman standing in front of me is me, I pinched myself to check whether it is a dream or is it really me and man it hurt to pinch. I turned to look at Alice and Rosalie.
"So, what do you think?" Alice quickly asked, unable to contain her excitement.
"Alice, I think it's perfect." As I said a I eloped them both in a tight hug. "Thankyou Rose." I whispered in her ear as I hugged her.
"Your most welcome, Bella." She replied, overwhelmed with her emotions.
"Ok, fine. Enough thankyou's. Now Rosie we need to get ourselves done." Alice went towards the dresser, so did Rosalie. I went back and stared out of the window. After about fifteen minutes they returned to the room, looking like beauty queens.
Alice was wearing a yellow sundress with a white pearl necklace and white bangles. Along with that she had white flip flops on. Her hair where pointed to the ends, like standing out and there was very light application of makeup. On the other hand Rosalie was wearing a grey colored sundress with stripes of different patterns on it and a broad belt in the middle and with red straps, along with this she was wearing white stiletto heels. She had a red lipstick on along with a dark eye shadow, her hairs where tied up into a neat ponytail.
"So what do you think?" Rosalie asked as I stood there staring at them like a person seeing light for the first time.
"Wow! I mean, you guys look amazing." I said and a smile spread across their face. Just then, like right on time, my stomach growled loudly.
"Come on Bells, let's get some food in you." Rose said with a smile. By the time we left the room it was about nine thirty.
"I am amazed that the boys haven't and knocked at out door." Alice said as we descended down the stairs. When we reached the kitchen we found Martha cooking. When she heard our footsteps she turned towards us with a warm smile.
"Good morning, ladies." She greeted us. The she turned towards me with a concerned expression. "Bella, honey. How are you feeling?"
"I am feeling just fine, Martha. Thankyou." I said, my voice full of gratitude.
"Hmmmmm. Nice smell. What's cooking?" Rosalie said, coming forward.
"Well I thought you girls would be hungry so I made you some scrambled eggs." She replied, setting plates for each one of us on the counter. I quickly grabbed mine and scarfed it down, it was hot so it burned my tongue. Thankfully Martha place glasses of milk in front of us, I gulped mine at once to put out the fire.
"Look who's eating like a hungry bear?" Rosalie teased.
"Maybe she's spending a lot of time with Emmett these days." Alice joined.
"Speaking of Emmett, where are the boys? I haven't seen them this morning." Martha asked.
"I bet they are probably still sleeping." Rosalie said as she finished her breakfast. Alice finished her breakfast too and went to put the plate in the sink, but when she returned she had an evil grin on her face, that scared me a bit.
"Rose, Bella, it's payback time." Alice said, with the grin still on her face.
"Payback?" I and Rose asked in unison.
"Yeah, payback. Remember how many times Emmett and Jasper have pulled pranks on us, now lets wake the boys our style." Alice explained, a grin spread across mine and Rosalie's face.
"Alice" Martha said in a warning voice since she is aware of Alice's payback methods.
"Don't worry Martha, no one will get hurt this time. I promise." Alice pleaded with her puppy dog face. Last time Alice decided to have a payback, we had to call 911. So in short, Alice's paybacks are not exactly safe at times.
"Ok Alice, but this time I do not want any ambulance outside the house." She warned as she gave in to Alice's helpless expression, Alice jumped in victory. She pushed us out of the kitchen before Martha could change her mind. We quickly went upstairs, but slowed our pace as we reached Jasper's door. We sneaked up to it only to find the door locked.
"Guess the boys know us pretty well?" I joked.
"Now what do we do?" Alice asked, irritated.
"Leave that to me." As Rose said she pulled out a hairpin and inserted it in the lock and Voila! She picked on the lock, we opened the door without any noise and scanned the room. Emmett was sleeping on his bed whereas Jasper was sleeping on his, Edward was on the couch. Jasper has two separate single beds instead of a one single bed, both of the beds are place on either side of the room. Whereas the couch is on the opposite side of the room.
"Ok girls, I will wake Jazzy." Alice whispered.
"I will wake Em." Rose whispered. Damn, that leaves me with Edward.
"And girls do your best." Alice whispered with her evil grin. Me. Mean. With Edward. No Way.
"But Alice, Edward has nothing to do with this. And besides he bought my truck last night….." I trailed off suggestively.
"Ok Bella, we will not hurt Edward. But Emmett and Jasper are on the target." She warned.
"No problem with that." I replied, relieved.
"Ok, so let's get to work." We all nodded and went to our respective targets. I went to Edward's side, watched him sleeping soundly, I did not want to wake him, but I did not have any other chance, did I?
"Edward, Edward." I gently said as I tried to wake him up. I put a hand on his face and called again. "Edward." He garbed my hand and bought it to his chest. I felt as if electricity was flowing through me, no I could not let myself be distracted. Focus Bella, focus. "Edward" I called again, this time he opened his eyes to look at me, they opened in slits but started getting wide as he started to gain his focus.
"Bella!" He said as he sat up, as he still had my hand in his so as he got up the hand dropped in his lap and he realized that he was holding my hand so he quickly left it like it was on fire, it hurt me a bit. "I am sorry." He apologized and then looked in my eyes. "Bella, what are you doing here? Are you alright?" He asked them all at once.
"First of all you should thank god that it is me and not Alice or Rosalie. And secondly, yes I am alright, and you are forgiven." As I said that I blushed.
"What do you mean that 'thank god it was you and not Alice or Rosalie'? And how did you get in, I saw Jasper lock the door before we slept?" He asked, confused.
"You'll see what I mean….." I was cut off by a scream, I got up. "Come and see what I mean." I said as I offered him my hand, which he quickly took and got up but did not let go of the hand. This small touch sended tingles and electric current down my body. As we walked up to the middle of the room we saw Emmett drenched in water from head to toe and his face having some kind of drawings. Edward and I laughed looking at him. On the other side there was Jasper, poor Jasper, starlet Jasper lying on the floor with Alice throwing clothes out of his closet on him. This set us free, we were rolling on the floor in fits of laughter. Emmett was glaring at me, Jasper was still shocked, Alice was still throwing clothes out of his closet and Rosalie was laughing with us.
"What the hell is going on?" Emmett asked angrily. I tried to control my laughter but when I saw his face and Rose's lipstick all over it launched me into another fit of laughter. By now my sides were hurting from laughing so much and tears where coming out of my eyes.
It took about twenty minutes for me, Rose and Edward to come out of the laughing attack, for Emmett to get out of the wet clothes, for Jasper to come out of the shock and for Alice to empty Jasper's closet.
"Now are you going to tell me what is this happening?" We were sitting on the couch, boys on one and girls on the other facing the other. Emmett was still sounded furious, I had no idea that he can stay angry for such a length of time. Right now Emmett was sitting in dry clothes but the writing and the drawings where still on his face, as he was still unaware of it. Nobody bothered to tell it to him.
"Well, take this as a payback." Alice answered.
"Payback. For what?" Jasper asked.
"For all the pranks that you guys have played on us till now." Rose answered sweetly.
"What did you do?" Edward asked, mockingly.
"Well I soaked Emmett with water…." Rosalie started to explain her side of story.
"Cold as hell water." Emmett interrupted her.
"And Jasper, why where you on the floor?" Edward laughed as he remembered the scene.
"Because Alice screamed." He gave a short, but accurate explanation.
"I screamed when I saw that horrible shirt of yours." She said in her defense, then she turned towards Jasper. "Jasper how could you? Even after staying with me you are wearing such ridiculous clothes." She sounded hurt and disgusted, we all laughed.
"But Alice, why where you throwing my clothes out of the closet?" A scared Jasper asked, scared that Alice might not have an outburst.
"Because I wanted to find all the ridiculous clothes that you have hidden in there and throw them out of my sight." She replied. "But now well as it is all done and sorted let's get our payback girls." Alice said with her famous mischievous grin.
"What now Alice?" I asked, confused. Everything that we had planned had been done, what now?
"Rosie." Alice said and both of them got off the couch and went towards boys beds, after a few minutes they returned with mini cameras. Oh No! They didn't!
"What the hell is…" Emmett trailed off as he realized what it actually was. "Rosie, you are not going to do that, are you baby?" Emmett asked sweetly. I let out a giggle, but apprently Emmett was so focused on the situation that he did not hear it.
"Well guess what? I already did. These cameras have net access so now you guys are on You Tube. Enjoy!" Alice answered, rather too sweetly. I remembered the video of Alice and Rose at their girl's night out that had been secretly recorded by Emmett and Jasper through hidden cameras. It was a good thing that none of us strips down in the room. Well anyway, it had dance, makeovers, pedicures, boy talk, embarrassing talk, etc. Thankfully, at that time I was not well so I skipped it. Emmett and Jasper posted it online on You Tube and it got a million hits in just five hours. So I guess now we are even now.
Someone's said it right:
Playing is hard, Payback is harder.
