Bella POV
As we drove to Edward's house it was starting to get dark. (I had slept for a really long time. Then I had had to do homework and Edward had helped me.) I felt bad for either Alice or Rosalie. I didn't want them to have to go through what everyone else had to go through.
I wish he would just tell me who it is already! I thought to myself. Just then we turned into his driveway. Soon I could see the house but something wasn't right. Outside Emmett and Alice we arguing about something. No, arguing just didn't fit, it was more like yelling.
" No way in hell Emmett! I am not doing that!" Alice roared.
"Of course you are Alice! You go the question wrong!" Emmet retorted.
I felt a smile break out on my face. So Alice was Emmett's next victim. I wonder if he'll make her burn her closet. I wondered, now that would be funny! I looked over at Edward and he was frowning.
"What?" I asked him.
"Alice and Emmett are blocking me out! So I know just as much as you." He replied.
"Well we'll find our some more in just a bit, won't we?" I asked as a rhetorical question trying to get him to smile. It worked.
"Then lets go!" Edward said with a laugh. He ran at vampire speed to my door and swung me up in his arms. The next thing I knew, we were standing in the living room with Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper.
"Next time warn me before you do that!" I hissed at him as he put me down.
"Ok, so as you all know by now, Alice is the next to be tortured." Emmett said with a smile. "But what you don't know is that her first dare is..." Emmett was about to finish what Edward fell on the floor laughing. Jasper, Rosalie and I just stared at him because we still didn't know what was going on.
"Just tell us already!" I yelled at Emmett.
"Ok, ok, Alice's beginning dare is that tonight at 8 o'clock when she takes off her makeup, she has to keep it off for a full 24 hours! And that also means no doing her hair!" Emmett said. "Eddie your next."
Edward looked at Emmett and nodded his head in understanding. From what I could tell Emmett had told Edward what to say next, because Edward started laughing hysterically again as he said,
" You ... have... to...find...BERT!" He said between breaks for air, "Then...trade...clothes with him!"
"NO!!" Alice yelled before he was even done talking.
"Who's Bert?" I quietly asked Rosalie, who looked like she was having a hard time trying to stay standing.
"Bert is the homeless guy that lives behind the gas station." She replied, suddenly breaking into a fit of laughter.
Oh no! I thought to myself, poor Alice! I walked over to her and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Well since Bella moved, it looks like Rosalie is next." Emmett said. Suddenly Edward was beside Rosalie whispering something in her ear.
"Then at lunch you have change into Bert's clothes and go on top of the table in the middle of the cafeteria and sing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' by Brittney Spears!" Rosalie yelled. Then her and Edward both fell on the floor laughing.
I looked over at Alice and by the look on her face she was mad. Not just mad but pissed off! I am not gonna have her mad at me! I thought. Jasper must have been thinking the same thing because since it was his turn he said, "But then you can tell everyone that it was for charity!" He said quickly.
"Ya," I said, "and then you can throw away the clothes and change back right away!" I told Alice.
I looked over at Edward and I could tell that me being nice to Alice had no effect on him and Emmett's fun.
"Well that makes it a little better." Alice said, still glaring at Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie who were still gasping for air.
"But wait!" Rosalie said, "I want to add to my dare that you have to do the dance moves as you sing the song!" With that I couldn't help but laugh a little at the picture in my head of Alice in really ugly clothes dancing and singing to a Brittney Spears song! Alice turned to glare at me.
"Hey, you have to admit that it is a little funny." I said.
"Ya, but it's still mean!" Alice whined.
"Well, we all had to go through it so you might as well get in over with!" Jasper said.
Bella POV
"Well that was a really long day and I just want to go to sleep!" I told Edward as we drove back to my house.
"I agree. But I have to go back to my house first to make sure that everything is ready for tomorrow. I'll be back as soon as possible!" Edward reassured me.
"Ok," I said, "see you soon!" I leaned over to give him a kiss and once again I had my breath knocked out of me and once again Edward pulled away way to soon.
"Bye." I said breathlessly as I got out of the car. I could hear him chuckle as he drove away. I walked into the house to find Charlie on the couch watching TV and eating pizza so I knew that I was off kitchen duty for tonight.
"Hi, dad! Goodnight dad!" I yelled as I climbed up the stairs.
"Ummm... Goodnight Bella!" Charlie yelled back.
I went straight to my room to get the stuff I needed for bed then I went to the bathroom. After I took a shower I hot into my PJs and brushed my teeth and hair. When I walked back into my room Edward was sitting on my bed waiting for me.
"Wow, that was fast!" I said as I climbed into his lap.
"Yes it was. I didn't want you to fall asleep and have more nightmares without me here to protect you." He said, and then he kissed my forehead.
"Well you want to know what I think?" I asked him.
"Don't I always?" He said back with a smile.
"I think that I'm too tired to even dream!" I said. As if to prove my point my eyelids started to droop and Edward began to sing my lullaby as I drifted off to sleep, dream free...
Alice POV
"Uhhhgg! How can I go outside looking like this!?" I complained to Jasper.
"Im sorry Alice, but you just have to. At least me and Bella made things a little bit easier for you." he replied.
"Well, I might as well get this over with." We ran downstairs and got into my Porsche.
"What am I supposed to say to Bert? Do I just go up to him and ask him to trade clothes with me?" I asked Jasper.
"Well since he is homeless he might be mean so I could hit him with a bunch of niceness while you ask him politely to trade clothes for a few hours." Jasper replied.
Just then we rounded the corner to reveal the only gas station in Forks. I parked my car and Jasper and I walked around the corner to where Bert lives.
"What do you want?" Bert barked at us.
"I just wanted to ask you a favor." I said as I slipped out a 100 bill from my purse.
"I'm listening." he replied.
"I want you to give me your clothes in exchange for these." I said as I pulled out Jasper's shirt and pants. Bert took them from me and studied them for a second.
"Deal." He said. He got up and went inside the gas station. When he came back he was dressed in Jasper's clothes with his clothes in his hand. He walked over to me and held out his hand. I put the 100 bill in his waiting hand, grabbed the clothes from his hand, and ran to the car with Jasper at my side.
"Well that went way better than I thought." I told Jasper as we drove to school. " I expected him to al least pull out a knife on us."
"Ya, all you had to do was show him the money and he was like puddy in your hands." Jasper replied.
When we arrived at school we went our separate ways to class. I didn't put on the clothes yet because Rosalie had said that I only had to put them on before lunch. When lunch finally came I hurried off to the bathroom to change.
These are the worst clothes I have ever seen or smelled! I thought to myself as I pulled the shirt on over my head. Since Bert was taller than me, like most people were, the pants dragged on the floor which made me look and feel even more ridiculous.
"Oh you are so gonna get it Emmett!" I said to myself. Thankfully no one was there to see or hear me.
I walked slowly to the lunch room tying my best not to her seen by someone. When I arrived at the door to the cafeteria I peeked in through the glass window only to see Emmett standing guard for the table in the middle so that no one sat there and that Edward was setting up a video camera.
I hate you Edward Cullen! More than I hate shopping at Goodwill! I yelled in my mind at him. Edward turned to look at me and smiled. The rest of my family followed his stare and they started to smile too.
Might as well make the most out of it! I thought to myself. I slowly opened the door and walked over to the middle table. As I climbed on it all the heads in the cafeteria turned to stare and me.
At that moment three things happened. Rosalie hit 'play' on the stereo she had brought, Edward hit record on the camera, and Emmett tossed me a sparkly pink microphone.
"Oh baby, baby. How was I supposed to know that something wasn't right, ya. Oh baby, baby I shouldn't have let you go." As I sung the first verse I did the moves also. "Hit me baby one more time!" I finished the song and jumped off the table at the same time as I tossed the mic to Emmett. I didn't even bother to tell everyone that it was for charity, I just walked out the door slowly with a lot of super-model attitude.
"Sprinkle that on your food and eat it!" I said quietly so that only my family could hear it. I couldn't wait for my revenge on Emmett.
