Yeah I've got over a hundred reviews on this story! I can't believe it. Thank you so much to everyone who's been reading. A story doesn't mean anything unless people read it. Unfortunately, my one hundredth reviewer was anonymous so I don't know who to thank for that.

The finals for the show are over and it was great. I'm so glad they brought the "addiction piece" by: Mia Michaels back, because that was my favorite dance from the whole season and it could only be danced by Kupono. He was so fantastic I cried.

Chapter 16- A Bit of Fun


POV-Bella

I yawned and rolled over, tucking my face into someone's warm side…There was someone in bed with me? I opened my eyes and found Edward sleeping next to me. His eyes were closed and he was breathing softy.

Now I remembered. Everyone had come over so we could watch the show and then they had put a movie in and a few people had fallen asleep in my room. My cheeks flushed as I watched him roll over and scoot closer to my side. I couldn't believe I had actually asked him to spend the night with me. That was so out of character.

I'd never done anything even half as scandalous as asking a man I hardly knew to spend the night in my bed. I sat up carefully and peeked over the side of my bed. If I was remembering last night corectly there should be two more people in here. Yep, there they were. One point for Bella. Jasper and Alice were still lying on the floor, right where I had left them sleeping last night. Jasper was awake and he locked his confused dark brown eyes on me.

"Bella?" His voice was confused and his eyes kept darting to the small girl asleep on his chest.

"Yes?" I said keeping my voice as low as I could so Alice and Edward wouldn't wake up. It was really cute watching him sleep. His hair was messier than usual and his mouth was open.

"Did I drink last night?" Jasper asked, eyeing the empty Mikes hard lemonade on the floor next to him.

I shook my head glancing at the mess around my room. S'mores garbage and empty cans littered the counter. "I don't think so Jasper. That one was Alice's," I added pointing at the bottle he was eyeing.

"Why am I in your room?" He asked, looking back up at me.

"Don't you remember? You and Alice fell asleep in here last night during the movie. You both looked so comfortable I didn't want to wake you."

He nodded. "I don't really remember the movie. I wasn't really paying attention to it, but I do remember falling asleep now that you bring it up. I just feel kind of awkward. This is terribly inappropriate."

He shot another look down at Alice. Alice had her head on his chest and one of her arms thrown over his stomach. Her spiky black hair was stuck to her face on one side and sticking up on the other. She was breathing softly and I was glad I hadn't woken her. She owed me so big after last night! I was going to use that to my advantage.

I nodded along knowing exactly what he meant by how inappropriate this was. It was probably wrong on a hundred different social levels for the four of us to have spent the night together, but I couldn't get myself to regret asking Edward to stay with me. I hadn't slept that well in a long time. I sniffed at my shirt and smiled to myself. I smelled like him.

"I know exactly what you mean Jasper."

He looked up at me and raised an eyebrow. "You're not alone up there are you Bella?" He asked with a small smirk.

I shook my head and grinned down at him. "Nope." There was a sleeping model in my bed.

"Edward?"

I nodded with another impish grin. "Maybe."

"Is anyone else in here?"

I shook my head glancing around the room just to make sure we were in fact alone other than our sleeping partners. Edward had carried Jane back to her room and the others had all cleared out under their own power. "No, it's just the four of us."

"Did anyone else know we all slept over?" He asked shooting the door a look I couldn't quite place. This would be odd to try and explain to the others though so I understood his question.

"I don't think so." I hope not.

He nodded and wrapped his arm over Alice's shoulders. He didn't look like he regretted spending the night either. In fact he looked happier than I had seen him in a week. He always looked like something was on his mind and I had never had the courage to ask him about it.

My relationship with Jasper was very odd. He had confided something in me that he held as a very deep secret about his family and yet at the same time I hardly knew anything about him. 1. He was blonde and 2. He was from Texas. That was about the extent of my Jasper knowledge.

"What time is it Bella?" He asked looking back up at me again.

I glanced at the clock on my bed side table. "It's almost six."

"Should we wake them up?"

I shook my head. "Not yet." I glanced back at Edward and smiled when he shifted again. One of his arms moved out to where I had been sleeping and I felt my heart thump oddly in my chest. He was looking for me in his sleep. That was so cute.

He nodded. "I know what you mean."

I moved slowly back up my bed and tucked myself into his side again. His arm hooked around my waist and he tucked his head into my hair. I could have laid like that all morning. A few minutes later my alarm started beeping.

"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath as Edward stirred next to me. I had forgotten I set the alarm to wake me up in the morning. I could hear Alice moving down on the floor and Jasper wished her a good morning. I was going to kill the inventor of the alarm clock.

Edward pulled me closer and kept his face tucked in my hair. I hit the alarm button and cursed at it again as the clock fell to the floor. I shivered as Edward's lips found my neck and he kissed slowly down to my shoulder. He was awake.

"It's no use getting mad at the alarm Bella. You set it." He whispered against my skin.

"I know."

I felt him smile against my neck and his arms tightened around my waist. "I like waking up like this." He added sniffing at my hair. "You smell good."

I giggled and I heard Alice giggle from the floor as she and Jasper whispered to each other. Edward stiffened and then he sat up glancing over the side of the bed.

"Shit. I forgot we weren't alone."

"Good morning to you too." Alice said, standing up and running her hands through her hair, trying in vain to flatten it.

Jasper sat up and even on the floor his head came up to Alice's waist. He smiled at Edward and then over at me. "Thank you for a wonderful night Bella."

I smiled and nodded at him. "You're welcome back anytime Jasper."

He stretched his shoulders and they popped. "I might take you up on that. Your floor's not very comfortable though," he pointed out as he got to his feet.

"I thought it was wonderful." Alice said smiling at me. I winked at her when Jasper looked away and she giggled again.

"You weren't sleeping on the floor." I reminded her.

She glanced around the room and then her eyes fell to the clock. "I'll help you pick up later if you want Bella. This place is a mess."

I nodded. "Thanks, I'm going to make Emmett come and get his s'mores things later too."

"We had better all get ready for breakfast." Jasper pointed out.

He and Alice said goodbye and slipped out into the deserted hall. I glanced at Edward who was still in bed with me. His hair was messier than usual and the shirt he had slept in was wrinkled. He looked like a sleepy model and I suddenly felt very inadequate next to him.

He glanced at the alarm and then back at me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and laid back down, pulling me to his chest as he did.

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear your alarm for another five minutes, then go take a shower." He mumbled into my shoulder.

I snuggled into his chest. "I didn't hear any alarm."

He chuckled and kissed another trail across the back of my neck. I could feel the muscles in his chest move against my back and his fingers were trailing across my exposed stomach. A few minutes passed and we stayed like that, just lying together in comfortable silence.

Eventually Edward glanced at the alarm and must have decided it was time to sneak back upstairs. He rolled over so he was hovering above me and kissed my forehead. "Good morning, Bella."

I kissed the underside of his jaw. "Good morning, Edward."

He glanced down at me and then kissed my forehead again, trailing kisses down the side of my face until he reached the edge of my mouth.

"I really don't want to leave," he confessed, watching my face for a reaction to his honest words.

I moved over and kissed him lightly on the lips. The kiss was brief but sweet. "I kind of don't want you to leave."

He glanced at the clock. "We'll be late if I don't go soon."

I nodded and kissed him again. "Go take your shower. I'll see you down at breakfast."

He kissed me again and then trailed a line of kisses down my neck. "I really do love this color on you Bella." He said nudging the strap of my tank-top with his nose.

I sat up and he backed up with me so he was straddled over my lap. "You look really good in black." I confessed with a blush.

He smiled at me and kissed my forehead again. "This isn't helping the "don't want to leave" part," he pointed out as his lips started to trail down the side of my face again. As he reached the corner of my mouth I pushed myself back out of his reach.

He looked confused, but relaxed when I smiled up at him. "You can have another kiss down at breakfast."

"What about keeping this a secret?"

I thought about that for a second. "You can have another kiss in the hall, away from the cameras, on our way to the studio, after breakfast."

He nodded and stood up. "That's incentive to go get ready. I'll see you at breakfast Bella."

He waved goodbye and shut the door quietly behind him. I threw myself back down onto my bed and tried to calm my overheated body down. My heart was racing and it took several deep breathes before I could think straight.

Did I really just spend the night with Edward? I grabbed my phone and sent a text to Summer as fast as I could. She was good with boys. Maybe she had some advice for me.

I need help ~B

I rolled over and stuck my nose in the pillow Edward had used. It smelled just like him. I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. It was like some kind of spice and honey and something else I couldn't place but absolutely loved. It was just him. My phone buzzed and I glanced down at the text from Summer.

What kind of help? You're not in a strange man's bed are you? –S

I rolled my eyes and typed a response. Of course her first response would be related to sex. Seriously, I was Summer's definition of 'frustrated virgin' why else would she assume my problems had anything to do with sex?

No, but a man was in my bed last night ~B

I forced myself to get up and started brushing out my hair. My phone buzzed and I glanced down at it.

Please tell me it was that fine Edward Cullen boy –S

I finished with my hair and sent her a response. I was impressed that Summer was even up at this hour. She tended to live with the motto that the day started at noon and ended around four in the morning. Either she was up really early or she hadn't gone to bed yet.

Yeah, it was him. I really like him Summer ~B

Her response was almost instant.

Are you naked? –S

No! ~B

Maybe talking to Summer was a bad choice. I grabbed some clean clothes that didn't smell like Edward and got changed. I had a message waiting for me when I came out of the bathroom.

Then what's the problem? –S

Had she not read my last few texts? What did she think my problem was? I had a man in my bed all night, we didn't have sex and he still hadn't wanted to leave this morning. And I was developing an unhealthy addiction to his scent. That had to mean something didn't it? I really hadn't wanted him to go. I typed back my reply and tried to keep it as short as I could.

I asked him to spend the night in my room and he did. He slept with me in the same bed. I really like him a lot and I don't have any idea what to do about it. I don't want to mess this up. I'm no good with boy's Summer! Give me some advice here, I'm desperate. ~B

I brushed my teeth and made sure I had everything I would need for our morning lesson with Nakul. I tied my hair up into a pony and got a water bottle out of my fridge. While I waited for Summer to respond, I cleaned up my room a bit.

When her text finally came I felt my last hope die.

I can't help you from here B. I don't know him. You do. You'll just have to do your best. If you got him in your bed though he must like you. Don't do anything stupid and let him know I'll be watching in case he hurts you. I know how to hide a body. Make it sound scary when you tell him that. Trust yourself Bella that's the only advice I can give you. Call me later if you need to talk –S

Well that was no help. I typed a quick reply and locked my door behind me.

Wish me luck. ~B

The lounge was fairly empty when I entered. Emmett and Jake were eating at one of the small tables by the door and a few of the other dancers I didn't know were gathered around the food table. I weaved my way around them and grabbed a bagel.

"Good morning everyone." I said casually as I filled a cup with juice.

A girl with long black hair and sharp green eyes held out a magazine to me. "Have you seen the article?"

I glanced down at the page and found myself looking at a picture of us. It was one of the group shots we had taken at the photo shoot. Edward had his arm around my waist and Cat was making a funny face with Emmett and Erik.

"No, I haven't. What's it say?"

She followed me over to the table where Emmett and Jake were sitting and sat down with us. She set the article down and sipped from her coffee.

"It's just about the start of the show and it lists all of our names. I'm Jessica, by the way."

I shook her hand and read over the article. Part of the article talked about this being the first season where two Broadway dancers had made it to the finals. Under that article was a brief paragraph about Angela and Ben. Apparently they had both done a few small shows on Broadway so this wasn't the first time their names were in the papers.

There was another longer reference to the fact that two sets of siblings had made it to the finals. Never before had direct siblings both made it on the show. I was glad to see that the paper didn't bring up the fact that Edward and Emmett were adopted. Next to that paragraph there was a picture of Edward, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper.

Towards the bottom of the page there was a picture of me and Edward in the medic's room and a brief story about our almost car crash.

"Why did they have to mention the crash?" I asked sarcastically, as Emmett took the magazine. He and Jake read it together and Emmett chuckled at me.

"I like this picture of you Bell."

Jake chuckled along and continued the joke. "Yeah Bells this is the first time your clumsiness has made the news."

I practically growled at him. "Keep talking Jake. I know where you sleep at night."

He shivered and pretended to be afraid of me. "You're so scary, Bella. I'm going to have to lock my door tonight."

I rolled my eyes and turned back to my bagel.

"Do you two know each other?" Jessica asked, indicating me and Jake.

Jake nodded. "Sure we do. I've known Bella since I was a fetus. Our parents were friends. We kind of grew up together."

I snorted. "If you count three weeks together over the summer once a year as growing up together."

He nodded. "I do. Our friendship never minded the test of time. Every time you came back to Forks it was like you'd never left."

I nodded and smiled up at him. My friendship with Jake never had never faltered. He was the only real reason I subjected myself to the rain every summer. I loved my dad, really I did, but we didn't have much in common. He spent his days patrolling a small town that got next to no crime and his weekends on the lake. We were both quiet and not big on long conversation.

Jake and I would get together in the morning and hang out down on the reservation he lived on. We use to explore the tide pools down at the beach near his house. One time, we had decided to play hide and seek in the woods behind his house and I got lost for over two hours. Jake and an older boy from the reservation had found me scared and crying only a handful of yards from the path. I never had been good at keeping a sense of direction in the woods.

"Edward mentioned that you use to live in Forks. That's so strange. Forks isn't exactly the biggest town in the world. Not many people know about it. Why'd you stop coming down?" Emmett asked as he stole the last piece of my bagel.

I shook my head and suddenly became very interested in my juice. "It's a long story, Emmett. My dad lives in Forks. My parents got divorced when I was little and I've lived in Phoenix for as long as I can remember."

He didn't press the issue but I could tell Jake was dying to know more about my fight with Charlie. I'd never explained to Jake exactly why I had stopped coming to Forks. Not being able to see him anymore had been the hardest part of the choice.

He didn't get a chance to ask and I was grateful for the change in conversation when Edward sat down at the table with us. He had a bagel and coffee and his hair was still wet from his shower. Jessica passed him the paper and made sure to point out the fact that Edward was the only dancer in all three pictures.

"Edward, this is Jessica. Jessica, this is Edward."

Jessica stopped in the middle of her gossip explanation for a split second to shake his hand before she pointed back to the article and started talking about it again. She reminded me of a brunette Summer. Summer ran the gossip world. She was like the mafia leader of information. She knew things before the people involved knew. It was freaky sometimes.

We finished breakfast and soon it was time for everyone to head upstairs and meet with their choreographers. Edward and I headed upstairs and stopped outside door seven.

"You remember the flip? I think Nakul will be impressed if we can both do them today."

"I remember." I spun around on my toes and placed a quick kiss on his lips. "I also remember I promised you a kiss."

He smiled and kissed me again. "Yes you did."

I opened the door and we both rushed in to the studio. Nakul was waiting with Roger and our song was playing over the speakers. I suddenly had the urge to show Nakul that I was capable of landing on my feet.

I took a few steps forward and danced my way into the flip Nakul had shown us. I kicked my legs over my head and remembered the way Edward had showed me to keep my balance when I landed. My feet touched the ground and I didn't fall over.

Edward took a few faster steps forward and fell into the flip as well. He landed just a few inches away from me and I couldn't hold back the happy dance. I could do the flip, I could do the flip, without falling on my face.

Nakul clapped and joined me in my happy dance as Roger circled around us with his camera.

"You guys really worked on that, I'm impressed. Getting that out of the way will make this dance come together that much faster."

Nakul had us run through the sets we had learned last night and then showed me how to work the flip into my routine. I ran through the belly dancing set and blocked Edward's path. He jumped away from me and I beckoned him to come dance with me.

"Look away from her Edward. You're trying to resist her." Nakul coached from the sidelines as we danced. Edward turned away from me so I moved in front of him again.

"Ok Bella. Right here's the flip, go."

I double stepped and flipped. My flip moved me too far forward and Edward had to jump to get out of the way so I wouldn't kick him in the face. I lost my balance and fell over. Somehow during the mix we both landed on the floor.

I glanced to my left and found Edward lying on the ground next to me.

"Did I hit you?"

He shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Good."

I started laughing and he joined in. We ran the set a few more times and eventually I figured out how to do the flip without getting too close to Edward. Nakul kept us working until the opening was smooth.

"Ok Edward, as soon as she hits the ground lift her into the vertical lift."

My feet hit the ground and Edward's hands grabbed my waist. I bent my knees and helped him get me into the air. At the height of the lift I kicked my legs out above my head in a V kick.

Edward set me back down and we didn't know what to do next. Nakul stepped in and started coaching us in the first partner set.

"Bella, once you're on the ground turn around." Edward placed one hand on my hip and took my hand with the other.

"Bella put your hand on his shoulder."

He showed us the steps and we started dancing together. Nakul went over the whole set showing us the counts and having us listen to the music.

"1, 2, step left, 3, 4, dip, 5, 6. Edward connect your lines."

"Bella, are you pointing your toes? Why are you both wearing shoes?"

I glanced down at my shoes. I always wore shoes to practice?

"You're going to be dancing barefoot on stage you need to learn the dance barefoot, shoes off."

We both tossed our shoes in the corner and started the partner set from the beginning. This kind of dancing was very different from anything else I had ever done but I found myself having a great time. Nakul kept cracking jokes and Edward never got mad when I stepped on his toes.

"After the partner set we're going to do a back roll."

Nakul showed Edward how in the dance he was going to spin me forward and then fall to his knees. I would draw the attention of the dance to myself while he got down and then roll over him. I spun on my toes and rolled over Edward.

"Edward, now you jump to your feet and Bella I want you to land on your knees."

We continued running the dance all morning. Nakul explained a little about the music we were dancing to. The song was called Chaiyya Chaiyya and it was a song from a Bollywood musical called Bombay Dreams. Apparently it was a song telling the listeners, as well as the main character, to let herself fall in love.

The song had a lot of feeling to it and I wished I could understand the words. By the time lunch rolled around my heels were sore and we were both masters of the one handed aerial. The song Nakul had us dancing to was a two minute remix of the original song which actually lasted almost seven minutes.

"After lunch, I think we'll start working on doing the aerials with no hands. How do you both feel about that?"

He was kidding right?

"Fine."

"I'm good."

We were such liars.

Edward and I made it down to lunch at the same time Alice and Jane were coming out of the lounge. Alice grabbed my arm and stopped us in the hall.

"Don't go in there."

I raised and eyebrow at her as she continued to pull us backwards down the hall. She smiled back at me. "Trust me, we're just having a little fun with Emmett."

"Oh boy," Edward sighed. "You really don't want to start a prank war with Emmett. You will lose."

Alice stopped midstep and turned on him.

"I don't lose."

"Emmett's the prank king." Edward warned.

"Well, he's about to lose his crown." Alice was standing on her toes to try and look Edward in the eye but she was still too short.

"Emmett always gets even." Edward added. "It's not too late to stop whatever you rigged up."

"It can't be unrigged from this side of the door."

"Who's in there helping you?"

She smiled, and Edward rolled his eyes. "You conned Jasper into helping you."

She nodded. "And his partner, Victoria."

We could hear someone coming down the stairs and I froze.

"Hide." Alice whispered as she and Jane ducked in a corner behind the door to the stairs. Edward grabbed my arm and pulled me into the closest studio. We shut the door so only a thin crack of light was left, giving us a view of the hall.

The door to the stairs opened. Emmett and Leah appeared in the hall and we held our breath as they walked towards the door to the lounge. Emmett grabbed the handle and pulled it open so Leah could walk in ahead of him.

"No, Leah move!" Alice jumped into the hall to try and stop her but, it was too late.

Leah stepped in front of Emmett and there was a "whoosh" sound followed by a "splat'. Leah's neck and chest were covered in what looked like Pie. Emmett had managed to avoid most of the blast but he was still splattered with the stuff.

Leah spun around slowly and her eye narrowed when she caught sight of Alice and Jane. I could see Jasper and Victoria in the lounge over Leah's shoulder. They were armed with cans of whipped cream. They had realized that the wrong person got hit and they both dropped their whipped weapons.

Victoria was the girl with the long red hair that Summer hadn't liked. She glanced sidewise at Jasper and he nodded. They silently lowered themselves into the nearest table and tried to act natural. Leah still had her eyes locked on Alice and neither her nor Emmett had noticed the almost second wave of Alice's prank.

"Alice?" Leah asked slowly, her voice practically dripping with venom. "What is this?"

Alice stepped back and Leah mirrored her move.

"It was meant for Emmett. I swear Leah, we didn't mean to hit you."

Jane jumped a step away from Alice and gave her a funny look. "Don't drag me into this." Jane turned around and vanished up the stairs, leaving Alice alone in the hall.

Edward was standing over me as I knelt in the doorway so we could both see and I could feel him shaking with laughter. Emmett joined Leah and they took another step towards Alice. Emmett used his finger to whip some of the pie off Leah's neck and stuck it in his mouth.

"You were going to hit me with a lemon meringue pie?"

She nodded and took another step away from them. "I didn't expect you to open the door for Leah. It was just a prank, a bit of fun."

Leah glanced up at Emmett and he smiled at her. When he looked back at Alice they were both wearing identical evil grins.

"You tried to prank me?" Emmett asked.

Edward leaned down and put his lips to my ear. "I warned her."

Alice's demeanor changed as she picked up on the challenge Emmett was throwing down. "Yes, I did try to prank you. It would seem I managed to hit two birds with one pie."

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into midget." Emmett warned.

Alice growled at him. "Don't call me that."

Emmett smiled as he and Leah took another step towards Alice. "I'm the one wearing pie, I'll call you whatever I want."

Alice nodded, shrugging her small shoulders. "I'll let it slide this once, but not again."

"Let the prank war begin," Emmett said as he put his hand on Leah's shoulder. "And don't think Jasper's getting out of this. I know he was working with you. A pie launcher like that would have needed someone on the inside to set it up."

Alice nodded. "I get Jasper and Jane on my team."

"We want Jake on our team with us." Leah said before Emmett could open his mouth. He glanced down at her and they seemed to communicate silently.

Emmett looked up at Alice. "My team's Leah and Jake."

Alice nodded. "Let the games begin."

Leah stepped forward and held up her hand. "Rules, nothing permanent. We are all going to be on TV so we need to be able to hide any physical sign of this war."

Alice nodded. "And nothing in the choreographer's rooms. We need to work on our dancing before anything else. The show always comes first."

Emmett nodded. "Deal." He held out his hand for Alice to shake.

Alice took a step forward and held out her hand for Emmett. They shook briefly and then Emmett tightened his grip on Alice and pulled her in for a group hug. Emmett pinned Alice against Leah and pie splattered everywhere.

"Damn you, Emmett!" Alice cursed and I could see Jasper and Victoria laughing inside the lounge.

"You never said we had to play fair." Emmett said smugly.

Emmett and Leah let go of Alice and she stuck her chin out, trying to retain some of her dignity. Emmett and Alice stared each other down for a while then they all headed for the stairs. They were going to have to speed shower if they wanted time to eat before their choreographers would be waiting for them.

Once the door was closed behind them, Edward opened the door and we walked into the lounge. Jasper and Victoria were both bent over the table trying to catch their breath while they laughed. Jasper glanced up at us and held up a small black video camera. They had the whole thing on tape. Perfect.

"If you don't give that to the show producers, I'll help Emmett prank you." Edward said as we grabbed sandwiches and sat down with them.

He nodded. "We already talked with them. They think it's hilarious as long as it won't affect our dancing."

"I'm not getting involved." I said as I took a bite out of my sandwich. Yum, it was turkey. No way I was going to get involved in prank wars right now. I had enough to freak out about right now. I was on the show! I was sitting next to the best looking boy I had ever seen and we made out on a regular basis, as long as no cameras were around. My life was good right now. No pranks for me.

Edward nodded along with me. "I've tried too many times to prank Emmett. It never works. I'm not going there again."

Jasper opened his mouth to argue and I held up my finger to stop him. "We are a neutral country, Jasper. We will not help or hinder either side, but, we are not getting involved."

"We're like Switzerland." Edward added.


~Darkrose

I hope everyone saw the finale of the show last night. It was great! I'm so glad they're doing another one this fall! Wish my girl Dezaray luck because she's auditioning. I love you girl! Go get them!!

A special thank you to the most awesomeness "Priya" for the idea of this song "Chaiyya Chaiyya." I'll put more information up about it when it's time for Edward and Bella to actually dance to it.
