Emmett picked up the phone first. I could barely contain my excitement. I can't believe we were actually doing this. I let out a nervous giggle. I just prayed it would work. I clamped my hand over my mouth and watched as the number was dialed.
"Who is it and what do you want?" Lauren said over speaker phone.
"Why, is that any way to speak to your date for this evening?" Emmett spoke back, looking warily at me. He probably knew that I was the one who would laugh and ruin it.
"What did you just say? I thought you just said that I was your date for this evening. I don't even know who you are." Lauren retorted. "So I'm going to put the phone down. Bye bye." Uh oh! This was game over. Quick Emmett, say something!
"Please don't. It's me! Emmett Cullen! Remember, you sat with us today at Toni's?" There was a moment of silence while she processed the information. I bit my lip in anticipation.
"Sorry. Yeah I remember. So, why do you want to go out with me? You've barely even noticed me before. Not that I've not tried." She mumbled that last bit. But Emmett, being the gentleman he is, ignored it and carried on.
"Well, when you were sat with us today. It just made me think. This girl is so beautiful, so smart, so evil. So why have I never asked her out before?" Okay, Emmett was laying on a bit thick there. I guess it did the job though because she said yes!
"What time do you want to pick me up then? And where are we going?" Lauren sounded all weird and girly all of a sudden.
"No. I won't pick you up. I'll meet you there. Do you know where Bel Cibo is, that restaurant in Port Angeles? If not then find out. I'll be there at eight. Sharp." I hiccupped. Everyone's eyes turned to me. I held my breath and waved for everyone to carry on. "See ya then babe." And then he hung up.
I let my breath out and began to laugh. This was going to be awesome! But there was still one more phone call left. But this time it was Edwards turn. He took the phone off Emmett and sat back down next to me on the bed (For some unknown reason we were all sat in Rose and Emmett's room. More privacy maybe?).
"Well done Emmy!" Rosalie whispered to her husband who was looking rather proud of himself. Edward dialed the number and we all waited for someone to answer.
"Hello, who is it?" the voice didn't sound like Jessica's, must be her mom or something.
"Hello, this is Edward Cullen. I'm a friend of Jessica's. Is she able to come to the phone?" He recited in his politest of tones.
"Of course, dear. Just hold on a second." We all held our breaths while Jessica was brought to the phone.
"Hello Edward." Jessica sounded all weird and girly too. Was it just this side affect from talking to boys? Did I sound like that when I spoke to boys? I hoped not!
"Hi Jessica, how are you tonight?" Edward asked. He was a good actor. He actually sounded like he cared.
"I'm fine thanks, all the better for speaking to you." She cooed. "And call me Jess. All my closest friends do."
"Okay then, Jess. Listen, I've been thinking about what you said when we were at Toni's today. About there being no trust in mine and Bella's relationship anymore. You were right, I want more for myself, I deserve more!"
"Oh good for you! I'm really pleased, truly I am. But I get the feeling there was something else you wanted to tell me, or ask me." Heavy hints from Jess there. I rolled my eyes towards the ceiling.
"Oh yeah, erm, Jessica, Jess, I was just wondering if you would like to meet up with me tonight? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to but I'd sure like it if you did." He was cut off by a high pitched squeal from the other end of the line.
"I thought you'd never ask! I would love to! Where do you want to go? Bowling? Cinema? I hear that there's a new romantic-comedy out. I think it's called heartbreakers or something like that. You wanna go and check it out?"
"Actually, I had another idea. How does dinner sound?"
"Sure, I mean that sounds good too." Jessica sounded shy all of a sudden.
"Great. I'll meet you at Bel Cibo at eight o'clock. Can you make that?" I bit my lip waiting for an answer.
"Sure. See you then!" Jessica hung up the phone and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was easy!" Emmett grinned and folded his arms. "So what do we do next?"
"You know what we do next." Alice chimed from the door. "Shopping! Come on guys!"
"I don't know if I can. You know this whole pregnancy thing has tired me out, so I'll sit this one out." I thought I'd at least try and duck out of it. But Alice was having none of it.
"No. Don't you dare try and worm out of it. Anyway, we need to buy you're disguise."
The idea was that Edward and Emmett would go on a double date with Jessica and Lauren. The rest of us would be sat at a table around the corner with a monitor to watch what was happening and a microphone to communicate with them. High tech, I know but that's the Cullen's for you. Nothing is ever simple. Anyway, we were all going to be in disguise so no-one would recognize us and when the time came we would film them being rejected by the boys and then leg it. The boys would then phone up and apologize and ask them out on a second date to the cinemas. Before the film, we would play the clip of rejection from the night before and cause endless humiliation for Jess and Lauren. Perfect. But now we had to shop for disguises.

We went to this costume shop to buy all of our gear. It was a really expensive costume shop as well but when you had an endless amount of money price tags were insignificant.
"Oooh! Look at this wig! Awesome huh?" Alice stopped to try on a long blond wig. It actually looked a lot like Rosalie's hair. " I defiantly think we should all wear wigs. Oooh! Dreads!" And she was off again to try on another wig, dreadlocks this time. "Come on then, pick what you want. And you Jazz, you need to pick your wig as well." Jasper didn't look too thrilled when he heard that.
"Come on then, you can help me seen as you don't need to pick one for yourself." I grabbed Edward's hand and pulled him around the corner. First of all, what colour should I be? A blonde bombshell? A fiery redhead? Or I could wear the dreads." I gave Edward a questioning look. He chuckled before answering me. "What would you suggest?"
"I think you'd look beautiful in anything." Edward said in his perfect velvety voice.
"That wasn't really very helpful but thank you. Any helpful suggestions?" I asked.
"Well love, they do say that blondes have more fun. I mean just look at Rosalie." He pointed round the corner where Rose was smacking Emmett with what looked like a plastic sword.
"I saw you looking at that sales assistant ass. What's you're problem today? You can't take your eyes off other women's butts! Stupid idiot!" Rosalie practically screamed. She then chucked the sword at his head and stormed off. Emmett ran after her trying to make amends.
"Fun fun fun!" Edward said before bursting out laughing. I joined in. I had to admit that it never got boring watching Rose beating Emmett with random objects.
"Point taken. So we need to find a blond wig. How about this one?" I looking at a dirty-blonde pageboy. I twisted my hair into a bun and tried the wig on. I looked at myself in the full length mirror in front of me. "Nah. Something else."
After trying on several blonde wigs I decided on one that was straight and quite long. It looked like Hannah Montana's wig. Almost identical! We all found each other and compared our new hairstyles. Alice had found a long red one that went down to her elbows. Rose was wearing a black pageboy, a lot like the one I had tried on earlier. And Jasper had a brunette Afro on his head. I stifled a giggle. He looked so fed up.
"Now for the clothes!" Rosalie said leading everyone to the costumes, keeping her distance from Emmett I noticed. Everyone had different ideas about what to wear. We decided to try out each suggestion no matter how stupid or ridiculous. Emmett went first. He wanted everyone to dress as hookers, which was defiantly interesting. But as it turns out three pregnant hookers and a pimp in an Afro wouldn't blend to well into the restaurant scene.
Rosalie suggested we all dressed up in sixties fashion. But I didn't feel comfortable in a mini-dress and platform boots.
Alice wanted us all to dress up in red carpet dresses. But Jasper didn't want to wear a dress.
Jasper wanted everyone to dress up as ninjas. I have to admit, I liked that idea best of all.
In the end we all decided to pick a nice dress and wear that instead. So we paid for our wigs and went back to the house. Apparently there was plenty to choose from in Alice's wardrobe. So I was forced to play Barbie again with Rose and Alice. I ended up wearing a black and white strapless dress with black satin pumps. Rose wore a purple sundress and Alice wore a blue halter-neck. Even Jasper dressed up, although it's not like he had a choice. He was dressed in a black pinafore with a white shirt underneath. Yes, he was dressed as a girl and not best pleased about it. But he really had no choice. I think as time went on he actually started to like it!
"It's time to go everyone! Who's got all the equipment?" Edward called from the front door.
"I have! Microphones, hidden cameras, camcorder, monitors, earpieces, everything we need. We'll get you hooked up when we get there. Emmett, come on! Get you're lazy ass down here!" Jasper called up the stairs to his brother. Emmett came strolling down with Rosalie on his arm.
"Whoa Jezebel, chill your beans! I'm here now and ready to go."
"Let's go then." Alice pushed her way through the crowd and took control. Edward and Bella you take Emmett and Rose, I'll go with Jezebel. We'll see you there. Can't wait." She started bouncing up and down with excitement. Edward helped me into the Volvo and Emmett and Rose climbed into the back seat. As we set off I felt the butterflies in my stomach (my real one not the strap on). There were so many things that could go wrong with this, I just hoped none of them did!
