The Incredible Hulk
Thump thump thump.
"God, will she ever shut up?" Rosalie said as she glared up at the ceiling.
The five of us had made it back to the house a few minutes after Edward and Janice had. We exchanged a few 'we're sorries' before excusing ourselves to finish our hunting. Emmett had even gone as far as giving her a hug and saying how bad he felt that he hadn't pointed the log out earlier. The minute we were out of ear shot we lost it, all of us falling to the ground from laughing so hard. We were currently camped out in the living room watching Real World reruns.
"Hopefully, I think I'm getting a migraine." Alice said while rubbing her temples.
"Can we even get migraines?" Emmett asked look utterly confused.
"I have no idea but if she doesn't shut up in the next 10 minutes I'm going to go up there and smack her so hard she'll have an imprint of my hand on her ugly little face." I said as I turned up the volume on the T.V.
"YOU LAUGHED WITH THEM EDWARD! YOU DIDN'T SAY 'OH I'M SO SORRY JANICE HERE LET ME HELP YOU UP' NO YOU LAUGHED! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY I DIDN'T KICK YOUR -"
"Damn, as funny as seeing her covered in mud was I feel kind of bad letting Edward handle the wrath of Janice all by himself." Emmett said while looking up to the ceiling with a guilty expression.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Janice's voice rang out through the house followed by a the sound of a door slamming shut. A few seconds later Edward strode into the living room, annoyance showing on his face.
"Thank god I thought she'd never shut up." he said quietly, throwing his hands up in the air. I felt the couch sink beneath his weight as he sat himself down beside me. "Next time, do you guys mind telling me in advance before you do anything like that? At least that way I can plan somewhat of an escape plan." He said while giving us a small smile.
"About that...we're really sorry. We didn't think she'd go all psycho on you." Alice said while the rest of us nodded our heads in agreement.
"I'll live, plus it was worth it seeing her like that." Edward chuckled while the rest of us just gave him a confused look.
"So you're glad we did that to her? Shouldn't you be mad I mean she is your girlfriend..." Emmett asked.
"First of all, she's not my girlfriend, anymore and secondly yes I am very glad you pranked her. She's been getting on my nerves for a while now." Edward answered.
"Weird..." Rosalie said while giving him an odd look. Edward was just about to respond when Jasper cut in.
"Maybe we should go out, personally I don't think its best to talk about this here while she's still so moody." Jasper suggested while standing up.
"True, let's go." I said while standing up. "Wait, where exactly are we going?"
Alice had just opened her mouth to say something when the rest of us all turned to her and said "No shopping!".
"Fine." She said while crossing her arms across her chest and walking towards the door. We eventually all agreed on going to a small park just outside of Forks. It was late now, too late for any sane human to be wandering the dark woods so there was hardly a chance that anyone would see us. The drive there was quick seeing as Edward and Emmett had challenged each other to a race, seeing who could get there the quickest.
Edward made it there in less than 10 minutes.
I was forced into riding along with Alice and Edward. I was fidgeting the entire time but thankfully I wasn't dragged into their conversation seeing as they didn't even have one. We all climbed out of the cars once we reached our destination. Alice took charge leading the way to a small clearing in between a few trees. The moon had come out and its glow brought out an eerie beauty about the people surrounding me, their pale skin looking even lighter than during the day.
"So you've had enough of her Eddie?" Emmett asked while lightly punching his brothers arm.
"I had enough of her two months ago and don't call me that." Edward answered while looking up at the sky, avoiding the confused looks of his siblings, not to mention mine.
"So..you mean like-" Emmett started.
"that this entire time, entire-" Jasper continued.
"time, you weren't even-" Alice said.
"interested in her?!" Rosalie spat out, her eyes narrowing into a menacing glare.
"It's not that I wasn't interested...actually yes it was but there was another reason." Edward answered while playing with a blade of grass.
"So you're saying that we could have been free of that bitch two months ago!" Rosalie yelled, her voice echoing in the silent night.
"Hey it's not like I didn't want to be free of her either but I didn't want to disappoint Carlisle and Esme. Do you know how long it's been since they've been this happy?" He answered.
"Oh shut up Edward. We all know the only reason they were happy for you was because they thought you were happy. They just hoped you didn't screw up this time like you did before." Alice said while pointing straight at him. Edwards eyes were pitch black as they shot up to meet Alices glare. They stayed like that for a minute, having one of their 'silent conversations' I'm sure.
"I'm sorry." Edward said breaking the silence as he sighed. "I'll ask her to leave as soon as we get home."
"NO!" We all screamed at the same time, Edward just sat their with wide eyes.
"If you want to repay us for making us live with her for an extra two months then let her stay for the next week or so." Alice said
"Didn't you just say you want her out?" Edward asked looking confused.
"Yes but you don't know what we have in store for her and I for one do not want to let this chance slip away." Emmett answered with a smug smile. Edward just looked at us curiously not even attempting to get the answer he wanted.
"We should get back if we want to get home on time." Alice said breaking the silence.
"In time for what?" Edward asked.
"Oh you'll see." Rosalie said as a grin spread across her face.
We were headed back to the cars when I felt someone jerk me in the opposite direction.
"We'll be back in a minute! I just need to talk to these two about something." Alice said as her and Rosalie dragged me away from the boys. When we finally stopped walking we were so far from the parking lot that neither the boys or the cars were visible.
"Alright Alice, Rose what do you need to talk to me about?" I asked, somewhat irritated.
"Well, now that we know Edward is no longer interested in Janice-" Alice began.
"But we already knew that." I said.
"Yes but now that hes admitted it himself it's going to be tougher keeping him away from you." Rosalie answered.
"If we want our master plan to unfold just perfectly Janice needs to believe that Edward still likes her, thats going to be harder now that hes on our side." Alice answered.
"So you're saying that I need to stay away from Edward?" I asked.
"What we mean is that if you and Edward were to get back together now then we couldn't go through with our plan. We're not saying you can't flirt back a little, actually we're encouraging it." Alice said with a sly smile.
"And we'll be here to help with that." Rosalie said with a smirk.
I stood there stunned. They wanted me, the least flirtatious person to try to somewhat seduce Edward Cullen.
"So are you up for it?" Rosalie asked, humor showing in her eyes.
I opened my mouth to say something but all I could manage was a nod. Within seconds we were on our way back to the parking lot, to the cars, the boys and more specifically Edward.
In no time at all we were safely parked in the Cullen garage and heading into the living room.
Every single one of us had identical smiles plastered on our faces awaiting what was to come. Edward on the other hand still hadn't figured out what we were planning. The others sure were doing a great job keeping him in the dark. We sat on the couches talking about anything and everything. We knew when it was almost time when Alice began slightly bouncing in her seat, too excited to keep still. Our conversation was cut short as a scream pierced through the air.
"OH MY GOD! YOU'VE GOT YOU BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!" Janice's voice could be heard all through the house, continuing to spewing out a string of profanities.
"Wow, Emmett I think we've finally found someone with a larger vocabulary than you." Alice said as she clutched her sides while laughing.
At that exact moment Janice came flying down the stairs, her eyes filled with pure hate.
"You! You did this to me didn't you?" she spat while pointing at her hair which was now a vibrant green. The dye must have been stronger than we thought seeing as parts of her skin were the exact same color, including her face.
"Has anyone ever told you that green's your color?" Rosalie asked with a smile. "I mean really, it looks beautiful on you."
There was a large thump as Emmett hit the ground, rolling around as he continues to laugh.
"Oh I've always wanted to meet the Incredible Hulk! I just never thought it would actually happen!" Alice said while running up to hug Janice who immediately backed away.
"You're going to pay for this." Janice said as she glared and everyone in the room.
"Whatever." Rosalie said as she flipped through the latest Vogue.
"Oh and Janice, don't forget tomorrows picture day at school. So look nice, we Cullens have a reputation to live up too." Alice said with a sweet smile.
"UGH!" Janice said as she threw her hands up in the air and ran up the stairs.
Everyone was on the ground laughing as soon as she was out of sight, even Edward.
"Rose, Jasper is there any possible way that she could get that out by tomorrow?" Emmett asked while trying to compose himself.
Rosalie and Jasper looked at each other and let out a small laugh.
"Well...you see," Rosalie said as she glanced over at Jasper.
"We went to a salon in Port Angeles and asked for the strongest hair dye they had. The lady who helped us said that it should stay in for at least a week, even if you wash your hair repeatedly." Jasper said.
"So we bought three bottles and we poured every single one of them in her shampoo bottle." Rosalie answered.
"How did she not notice it was green?" I asked while gasping for unneeded air.
"Well we switched the label on the bottle. It now says 'New Fragrance and color!'. It was a long shot but I guess shes dumber then she looks." Jasper replied.
We all exchanged high fives and began plotting our next prank.
"I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for her." Edward said as he joined in on the brainstorming.
I'm so sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've been so tired and busy that I haven't had time to finish this chapter. It's been half finished for a while but I just never had time to get to it. I can't really say when the next time I'll update will be but I'll try and make it very soon. I hope you can forgive me. And I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
