The next morning Alice awoke first. She looked around. Jasper had moved but was on the floor. Rosalie was on the bean bag chair and Emmett was lying against the wall, mouth open drooling. She looked at the clock. It was 9:06. She got up, went to her room, got some clothes and went to shower. While she was showering Jasper woke next. His back was sore from sleeping on the ground. He had no idea how he got there or how Rose got on the chair. Emmett was still where he was this morning. Alice was gone. He figured she went to check on the power, which came on around 8. He had to pee so he went to the bathroom. The door wasn't locked so he went in. He heard a scream. Once again he had walked in on Alice. This time though she was in the shower that had a clear curtain. Jasper ran out of the room again.

Why does this keep happening? She must think I'm a pervert!

Alice was thinking,

WHY? He must be really stupid or something. I know he's not a perv because he left.

Jasper returned to the room and waited going to explode. Finally, he heard the shower turn off. He went out into the hall. He knocked on the door. No answer so he went in and did his business. He came out and went to Emmett's room. It was slightly messy so he picked up a little and went downstairs. Next to wake was Emmett. He stretched his legs. His knees and back cracked. He looked around, only Rose was in here. She was sleeping, breathing deeply. Somehow she ended up on the beanbag chair. She was on her stomach and her lower back was exposed, there right where her spine ended was a shamrock. Under the shamrock it said "Rub for Good Luck.

"What is it Emmett?"

Jasper was slightly annoyed. Emmett just dragged him away from his toast by his arm with explanation. Emmett wordlessly pointed at Rosalie's tattoo. Jasper looked at it and his mouth dropped open.

A TATTOO? WHEN DID SHE GET THAT! IM GOING TO KILL HER!

Emmett thought the tattoo was funny. It was something Rosalie would do. He wondered when she got it. Maybe Alice knew. He went to her room. She was there rubbing lotion on herself.

"Alice? Can I show you something? It's kind of funny."

Alice looked up. She was slightly suspicious. Emmett's funny was often burps and farts.

"Um, sure."

She followed Emmett to his room where Jasper was standing looking at Rosalie mouthing wordlessly. She followed his gaze to Rosalie's back. She saw the tattoo and started to laugh. Emmett began to laugh. Jasper took three strides over to Rosalie and shook her awake.

"Leave me the fuck alone. I'm sleeping bitch."

She told him groggily.

"When did you get that tattoo?"

Rosalie sat up awake now. She didn't want Jasper to see it. She knew he would get mad. She was surprised it lasted this long though, since she went swimming with it yesterday. Granted, she used makeup on it but she expected the makeup to wash off. During the night it probably wore off.

"Last week. Jack did it."

Jack was their cousin. He was 24 and a closet gay. He worked at a good tattoo parlor. Jasper didn't mind him. Rose and he got along good.

"Do mom and Dad know?"

Rosalie looked down guiltily and that gave Jasper his answer.

"They're going to be so pissed."

"They won't be pissed if they don't know."

Jasper closed his mouth. Emmett and Alice were watching this wordlessly. Alice was nervous. She went with Rose to get that tattoo. She completely forgot about it with her mind preoccupied on Jasper. She didn't see it yesterday during swimming. Rose's cousin gave her that for free. He was a nice guy. He also convinced her to get a tattoo. It was also free. They were for practice. He needed to do a certain number of tattoos for training. She got a heart with an E for Emmett, an F for her mom (Florence) and a V for her dad (Vince) in it on her hip. It didn't hurt too badly. Luckily her bottoms covered it yesterday. She wanted no one to see it for a while.

Jasper was about to explode. He couldn't believe his little sister got a tattoo especially one that was so provocative! He looked at Rose. She was looking at Emmett. Emmett was smiling still about the tattoo. Alice could feel the tension.

"So, Breakfast?"

Everyone looked at her.

"No then?"

Jasper wanted to leave and ask Alice about the tattoo.

"I'll have some."

Rosalie was hungry.

"I'll be down for some too."

Emmett looked around. His room was mess.

"I'll be down after I clean a little."

Alice and Jasper left. Rosalie turned around.

"Oh Emmett please don't be mad at my tattoo. I thought it was funny!"

Emmett gave her a hug.

"I don't mind. It's funny. I love it."

Rosalie was so happy. She kissed him.

"Thank you."

Rosalie helped him clean. She made the bed. When she bent down Emmett saw the tattoo again. He smiled. He picked up the game from last night, and put the candles away. They were all done. Emmett went over to Rose. He wrapped his arm around her

"You should probably get down there."

"Okay."

Rosalie walked down stairs. Emmett counted to 100 and then followed.

While Rosalie and Emmett were cleaning, Jasper was venting to Alice about the tattoo.

"Why would she get that!"

"She was trying to help your cousin."

"Still, why didn't she get a flower or butterfly or music note? Why a provocative shamrock?"

"She thought it was funny. You know her she doesn't like to be normal."

"True but-but."

Alice was, sort of speak, cooling the flame of rage in Jasper. His anger about the tattoo had subsided quite a bit around Alice. Alice turned around smiling. She defused the J-Bomb.

"Would you like some pancakes?"

"Can they be chocolate chip?"

"Of course."

She opened a cupboard. The chocolate were all the way at the top of the cupboard. She sighed. She can barely reach the second shelf let alone the fifth one at the top.

"Jasper? I need help."

"With what?"

"The chocolate chips are too high up."

Jasper laughed. He walked over and got the chocolate chips without standing tiptoe. His 6'3" stature came in handy sometimes. Alice sighed. Her 4'10" made her dependent on tall people and she hated it.

"Thank you."

"No problem. Little girl."

Alice punched Jasper on the arm and began mixing pancake batter. Rosalie came downstairs and Emmett came after. Rosalie looked at Jasper. She saw how disappointed he was at her tattoo. She gave him a hug and told him she was sorry. He looked at her.

"Rosalie. I forgive you for the tattoo. I don't mind it. It's funny."

Rosalie smiled at him and gave him another hug. Her phone that was in her bra began to ring scaring them.

"So self-obsessed with my mascara and mistakes Vanity's like a funeral and everyone is at my wake. Before I run out of air there's more make-up to apply Doll eyes stare into valium colored skies."

"Ooh! Its mom and dad!"

She pulled her phone out and answered it.

"Hey mom! How's Cabo?"

She waited awhile.

"That's good. Yes, mom Jasper cleaned his room."

Jasper made a face. He forgot to clean his room.

"Did you know the Cullen's are there? Yeah they're in Casa Belichi."

She looked at Alice.

"What room?"

"345"

"Mom, they're in 345."

Rosalie held the phone away while her mom squealed.

"Oh? You're across the hall? Cool. Yes mom. We're behaving. Yes mom I fed Falcor breakfast. Yes mom. Yes mom. Yes mom. Okay bye. Love you."

Rosalie put her phone back. Alice flipped a pancake and it fell on the floor.

"SHIT!"

Jasper and Rose and Emmett laughed.

"Great job sis."

"Shut up."

"Never."

Emmett sat next to Jasper and Rose next to him. Pancake smell began wafting from the pan.

"MMM I'm starved."

Rosalie rubbed her tummy. Jasper got up and got a glass and poured some V8 splash into it. He took a sip. He had a mustache after. Rosalie took a napkin, licked it and wiped it off. In a stupid Jersey accent,

"You got a little schmutz."

"Ew gross Rose!"

He wiped his face. Everyone laughed. There was a knock on the door. Emmett jumped up.

"I'll get it!"

"I'll come with!"

Rose followed him. In the living room, the person knocked again. Emmett bellowed

"COMING!"

Emmett opened the door. It was the mailman.

"Package for Emmett Cullen."

"That's me."

"Sign here."

Emmett signed for the package, thanked the mail man and shut the door. Rosalie looked at the package.

"Ooh what is it?"

"No idea I don't remembered ordering anything."

"Maybe it's a gift."

"Hopefully."

Emmett rubbed Rosalie's butt. Rosalie looked at him

"What was that for?"

"Good luck. I was rubbing the shamrock."

"Shut up and open your box."

Emmett and laughed and opened the box. It was a blow up doll.
