A/N: So, I'm glad you all liked the fun chapter! Woo Hoo! Well there will probably be a lot of fun chapters since it is summer… I miss summer. Anyway glad you enjoyed it and remember to check out the polyvore clothes. Both of Bella's date outfits from "The Last Night" are on there if you wanted to know where they went to!


Chapter 7

I burst into the lodge and headed straight for the kitchen counting on Rachel and Nancy to hide me. I was out of breath by the time I reached the kitchen and bent over trying to catch my breath.

"Edward… ice… hide me." I breathed out while Nancy laughed at the top of her lungs.

"Hurry, out the door." Rachel grabbed my arm and started to push me through the backdoor in the kitchen.

I heard the front screen door creak open and then Edward's smooth voice filled the air. "Bella, I know you're in here. Come out, come out wherever you are."

His voice made it sound like a horror movie where the bad guy always calls the victim's name. Rachel covered her mouth with her hand and I jumped from the top of the low cement steps and high tailed it so I could sit behind the A/C unit. I didn't even hear the door close over my breathing.

This meant war. Bella made it into the lodge by the time I started running so I picked up speed. It wasn't long before I was inside the lodge lobby glancing around for hiding places. If I were Bella, where would I hide?

"Bella, I know you're in here. Come out, come out wherever you are." I crooned hoping she would just fess up and save me a little bit of time.

Laughter came from the kitchen and I mentally slapped myself. Of course she would ask her friends to help her. I softly padded down the hall and to the kitchen. Rachel was doubled over with laughter while Nancy was pulling biscuits out of the oven.

"What's so funny?" I asked blatantly while eyeing both of them.

"Nancy… joke… batman." Rachel laughed out holding her stomach.

Nancy just shrugged and grabbed a fork to start pulling off the biscuits. Typical Rachel and Nancy behavior of course. Then again I wasn't buying the charade.

"Tell me the joke." I prompted looking around the kitchen for a place for Bella to hide.

Nancy smiled weakly. "It's not a very nice joke."

I shrugged and raised an eyebrow. "I'm a big boy. I think I can handle it."

She grinned and exhaled quickly. "Okay, so three women go to a sex therapist because they weren't happy with their intimate life. The first woman was just married; the second had been married for five years, and the third was and older lady that had been married for thirty five years."

She paused and took a breath. "So the therapist told them to do something out of the ordinary. He suggested chains, whips, and leather. So the next week they go back to the therapist to tell them of their experiences."

"The young just married woman said that she got all dressed up in a bikini and decided to wash the car. When he husband came to the garage he flipped out and threw her on the hood of the car. The best sex she'd ever had."

"The one who'd been married for five years said she had been scantily clad in whipped cream and as soon as her husband saw her he threw her on the kitchen table."

"The older woman was a little confused. She said. "Well I dressed up in the black leather and I had a whip. When he got home I stood by the refrigerator and he asked, 'What's for dinner batman?'"

Rachel burst out laughing and I couldn't help but chuckle myself at the corny humor. Nancy just smiled smugly. "Oh and Bella said she was going to Taco Bell. She said you could of gone with her but you seemed to have neglected the use of pants."

I looked down seeing that I was clad in just boxers. Rachel's laughter had stopped and she blushed deep red. "Does my nakedness bother you?" I smirked.

Rachel nodded. "Yeah, put it away!" She said sarcastically.

Nancy elbowed Rachel. "Don't egg him on." She paused. "You really should get dressed though. You don't want the girls to see you in your boxers."

I nodded. "You're probably right."

I turned to leave when I heard twenty high-pitched screams. "EW put some clothes on!" Alice shouted. "Girls cover your eyes."

I watched in amusement as the girl covered their eyes with their hands. "Jeez Alice, chill."

She frowned at me. "Go away, boys have cooties."


BPOV

"Come on Bella, he's gone to get dressed. You're safe for now." Rachel called me back into the lodge.

I sighed in relief and stepped back into the cool air condition. I picked up a tray of hash rounds and carefully walked out the door and into the mess hall.

"Life was so much easier when boys had cooties." Rachel remarked while placing the bacon on the food table.

I nodded. "Yeah I remember when I was in kindergarten and Mike Newton use to chase me around the playground trying to kiss me." I smiled at the memory but shuddered at Mike's name. He was such a douche bag.

The front door slammed and Rose walked in with Emmett's arms slung lazily around her shoulders. Jonathan and Jordan were talking about something or another. The front door opened again and Jake walked in, with Jasper, scanning the room until his eyes fell on Conley. He grinned and walked toward her. I saw that she returned the gesture.

"Looks like Conley's got her eye on someone." Nancy wiggled her eyebrows.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Typical Conley." She paused. "Do you remember when we use to go guy watching?"

Nancy laughed and I felt a little out of their conversation. I picked up another tray and made my way back to the mess hall. The door slammed for the last time and I stood still as I watched Edward walk toward the room. His hair was all messed up. He had on a pair of swim shorts and a white wife-beater.

"It's about time you showed up fully dressed." Alice smirked while eyeing Edward.

I turned around to see Rachel staring at him with a blush on her cheeks. Something told me I didn't want to know the story behind that. I shrugged it off and turned my attention back to Edward who was watching me from afar with a grin on his face. I could practically see the wheels turning in his head, plotting revenge.

Alice disappeared out the door and I dove back into the kitchen trying to buy some time. My eyes fell on the milk and I grabbed two gallons and walked back into the room. I avoided Edward's gaze and it wasn't until he caught me around the waist did I acknowledge his presence.

"Oh, hello Edward. Did you get a good night's rest?" I asked with an edge to my voice.

He rolled his eyes. "Of course not." He lowed his lips to my ear. "You weren't there."

I hated when he did this. I did something mean and he played against me with the Mr. Nice card. He was such a player. I placed the milk on the table and turned to face him.

"Is this how you're going to play it?" I asked him while watching his facial expressions.

He smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about." He answered coolly.

Alice glided back into the room with a trail of kids behind her. They down at the various tables and table by table the girls started heading for the food. We waited till everyone was served to get ours. We ate and started to get cleaned up. I washed while Edward dried.

"Okay, can I get everyone's attention?" I heard Tootsie's voice ring from the other room. I put the pot that I was washing down and walked into the mess hall. Edward followed closely behind me and took my hand.

"We have six group counselors and six recreational counselors. I'll introduce them." She motioned Edward and I forward first. "Introduce yourselves." She prompted.

I blushed and Edward grinned. "I'm Edward and I'm the lifeguard for the lake and the pool." He looked at me and I'm guessing he saw the blush that still played on my cheeks. "This is Bella my girlfriend. Six of you lucky girls will get to be with her for the next two weeks."

Tootsie rolled her eyes and motioned for Alice and Jasper. Alice was scanning the room with her eyes while Jasper watched her smiling. Alice grabbed Jasper's hand and dragged him forward and he gladly followed.

"Hi everybody! I'm Alice, as most of you know, and I'm another one of your counselors!" She paused and glanced up at Jasper. "This is Jasper and he's my boyfriend. He's one of the recreation leaders!" I envied her energy.

Next was Rosalie and Emmett's turn. "I'm Rose and this is Emmett. I'm a counselor and he's your other recreation leader." She made the introduction short and sweet.

The others introduced themselves singularly in the same fashion. Tootsie dispersed the girls among the counselors and then told us to start our day. I hadn't had much time to look around the small campground but I knew the basics. Apparently down the cemented black path were the pool and an arts and crafts building.

I led the six girls down the path when a tiny voice piped up. "Can we sing a song Bella?" She asked.

I turned around to see who had asked and there was a small blonde haired girl with pale skin and light brown freckles across her nose. I smiled and nodded. "Sure, I don't know many girl scout songs." I admitted.

She smiled. "It's okay, we'll teach you!"

I shrugged and nodded for her to continue. "Well let's keep moving while you teach." I suggested.

She nodded and her small voice suddenly grew louder as she chanted. "Ketchup, ketchup sure is red."

Then the girls repeated her. "Ketchup, ketchup sure is red."

Then she replied. "Boy I wish I'd stayed in bed."

Then the girls replied and so on. "Boy I wished I'd stayed in bed."

"Relish, relish sure is green."

"Relish relish sure is green."

"Boy scouts are really mean."

"Boy scouts are really mean."

"Sound off."

"One two"

"Sound off"

"Three four"

I smiled at their little song and we passed the pool. I saw Edward as he grabbed a net and started skimming the top of the pool with it. He looked up as we passed chanting and a smile dawned his perfect face. Then, he winked.

We rounded the corner and I saw a small netted building just ahead at the end of the path. The song ended right before we reached it and the girls chatted loudly behind me. I acted as if I weren't paying attention but I couldn't help it.

"That big one scares me." The little one who had started the song said.

"Yes, but the pool boy is so cute." Another one said. I wasn't sure who because I didn't turn around to look.

"I agree. Bella is so lucky." Another one giggled.

"Ew, boys are yucky." One said in disgust.

This time a girl answered who hadn't said anything yet. "He's not a boy. He's a man."

I had to try so hard not to burst out laughing and hurting the girl's feelings. Their conversation was very humorous and I would have to share it with Edward later.

We came up on the crafts building and I saw Jordan scurrying around the table placing material in seven different spots. I stepped into the small fanned area and held the door for the girls as they walked by. I wasn't sure what the craft for the day was but whatever it was I hoped it was something to entertain them.

The girls all picked a seat and I took the seventh seat. Jordan stood in front of the table with a bright smile dawning his face. "Well good morning ladies. I'm Jordan, as you all know."

"Good morning Jordan." They all chorused.

He smiled. "Well today we're going to play a little game then we're going to make name tags and bed hangers. What do you think?"

"Good." They all chorused in union like little trained monkeys.

I laughed to myself and he clasped his hands together. "Well that's good. Let's get started!" He looked at a notepad and then back up at the girls. "Okay so our game for the day is the name game. You say your name and then something you like that starts with the first letter of you name. I'll give you an example." He paused while tapping his finger on his chin. "My name's Jordan an I like Juicy Fruit."

The girls laughed and I couldn't help but smile. He grinned. "Now it's your turn. We'll start with this young lady and end with Bella."

The girl sitting next to me was the singer. She smiled nervously. "I'm Destiny and I like daisies."

Next it was a girl with shoulder length strawberry blonde hair. She had natural blond streaks going through and you saw the small gap between her two front teeth when she smiled. "My name's Madison and I like M&Ms." She stated and I recognized her as the girl who said Edward was cute.

The next girl was really tan with shoulder length spiraling hair. She had the baby face and the small eyes. "My name's Cassidy and I like cats." She grinned and I knew she was the girl who called Edward a "man".

The next girl looked younger than the rest. Her dark hair fell just above her shoulders and he lips were bright red. "My name's Becca and I like bunnies." She was the one who said boys were yucky.

The next girl was kind of pudgy with long blonde hair. "I'm Charli and I like cherries."

Last was one I should have noticed but didn't. It was Tanya. She smiled innocently. "My name's Tanya and I like Tigger."

Last was my turn. "I'm Bella and I like boys." I smiled thinking about Edward.

Jordan rolled his eyes and hopped up from the chair he was sitting in. "Okay well let's get started on your craft." He gave instructions and we all decorated our nametags and bed hangers. All too soon the craft ended and it barely felt like two hours.

The girls followed behind me singing a new song:

"My mom gave me a penny, she said go by a hinny. I did not by a hinny instead I bought some bubble gum. Bazooka zooka bubble gum. Instead I bought some bubble gum."

I laughed with them and when we passed the pool I didn't see Edward there. That was weird since he was the pool boy. We kept walking down the path until we came to the large hill above the lake.

"Okay girls, we need to walk down these steps but they're kind of ragged. Please be careful." I said it more for myself than for them. It would be just my luck to fall down the stairs on my face.

I watched the girls go before me. They carefully descended the stairs as I had pleaded them to. I went to take my first step when a pair of familiar arms wrapped around my waist.

"You'll kill yourself going down those stairs by yourself." Edward whispered in my ear causing me to shiver.

I nodded. "Yes, I know. It's a good think you're here."

He smiled and grabbed my hand leading me down the stairs. He had this glint in his eye and I didn't know what it was. Regardless I knew that he had to be planning something. There was no way he would just allow me to get away with the stunt I pulled this morning.

We reached the bottom of the stairs safely and Edward let go of my hand and walked over to where a bunch of canoes were stacked haphazardly.

"Okay ladies. Today we will be canoeing. I'll teach you the basics of canoeing right now and then after lunch you'll get changed and we'll get you out on the lake. Be sure to get a partner!" Edward informed us.

He went through the basics as he promised. We learned how to paddle and how to get into a canoe and about working with your partner. I watched in awe as Edward got into the motions. He worked with the girls very well and I imaged he would make a good father some day.

All too soon the lunch bell rang and Edward snapped out of teaching mode. The girls jumped up and raced up the stairs forgetting my warning of taking them slow. I head the paddle hit the ground with a light thud and Edward's hand was soon back in mine.

"How'd I do?" He asked nervously.

I smiled. "You'd make a great teacher."

He hugged me softly and patiently helped me up the stairs. It was easier than I feared and soon we were rejoining the happy campers as they chatted about their day to the others. Jasper and Emmett came out in hairnets and I burst out laughing.

Lunch was sandwiches with cold cut meat. We had bags of chips on the side with water or kool aid. When the girls were done they raced toward the cabins to get dressed for canoeing. I was already dressed so I agreed to help Edward move the canoes on the beach.

"Will you be my partner?" He asked batting his eyes.

I frowned and helped him place the canoe on the ground. "I'm not going."

He smiled. "Oh yes you are. I need a partner."

I shrugged. "I guess you'll just have to be superman."

He frowned. "I could always make you." The evil glint was back in his eye.

I shook my head. "You're bluffing."

He stalked toward me with cold eyes. "Oh really?"

With one fluid movement I was up in his arms bridal style and he carried me out to the edge of the water. "Be my partner or I'll drop you."

I put on my best pleading eyes and tried to make my voice soft. "Edward, you don't really want to do that." I reached out to touch his cheek. "Please, I love you." I breathed out.

He groaned. "Do you know what you do to me?"

I leaned up and placed a rewarding kiss on his lips. "Please."

He backed up and placed me on the ground. "You're going canoeing with me."

I frowned. "We'll see about that."

"Ahem." A high-pitched voice coughed behind us.

I turned around to see the girls behind us. Tanya was at the front with an annoyed expression on her face. "We want to go canoeing."

I rolled my eyes and stepped away from Edward. "Okay, Edward."

A crooked grin dawned his face and he stepped out by the edge of the water again. "Okay get your partners and we'll shove off."

The girls paired up and stood in a line stripping down to their bathing suits. I kicked off my shoes and crossed my arms over to take off my shirt. I had forgotten how revealing this bathing suit was but it was too late now. I threw it to the side and shimmied off my short shorts.

I bent over to fold them up properly and set them over by the steps. I looked up to see that Edward had frozen with his hands still on the first canoe. His eyes roamed my body and I swear I saw drool at the edge of his mouth.

"Something wrong Edward?" I smirked. It was weird all the self-confidence I had.

He swallowed hard. "Um, er no." I watched in amusement as he slid the first canoe into the water with Madison and Cassidy in it.

He helped the other girls in the same way and I noticed that he never looked back at me. The last pair was shoved off and he gave them limits on the small lake. "Don't go past the markers." He yelled out.

That's when his eyes fell back on me. "Um, you go with me." He motioned for me to come to him and he held the canoe for me while I got in. He handed me the paddles and I felt like an idiot. I hadn't been paying attention to what he was saying when he was instructing about using the paddles.

He jumped in behind me and grabbed his paddle. "What's wrong Bella?" He noticed my uneasiness.

I gulped. "I don't know how to do this."

He laughed. "Well I guess that works to my advantage that you can't pay attention. Now be still and I'll help you."

The canoe started to rock back and forth in the water. I held onto the sides of the canoe hoping that it wouldn't tip. I heard the middle bench creak and then the rocking stopped. His large hands gripped my waist and hoisted me toward him and sat me on his lap.

"Alright. I'll paddle and you just enjoy the ride." He suggested.

The trip was peaceful while it lasted. A breeze had picked up and the girls looked as if they were having the most fun. Edward looked adown at this rock and groaned.

"What?" I asked him leaning back into his chest.

He smiled and kissed my neck. "We have to go. It's getting time for the next group."

I frowned. "Okay, if we have to."

He sighed and leaned over to one side of the boat. It tilted that way and I tilted the other on instinct. "What are you doing?"

He laughed. "Payback time missy."

He leaned the other way and the boat rocked more. He repeated this several times until the water started seeping over the edge. "Stop it Edward!" I pleaded holding on to him for dear life.

He stopped rock and squeezed me lightly. "I think not." Then without warning he used my weight against me and grabbed me pushing me toward the tipping side. The boat flipped and my butt hit the muddy bottom of the lake. I stood up in chest deep water and noticed we were in the very middle of the lake.

I looked around for Edward but he was nowhere to be found. The canoe was floating upside down and mud dripped down my face. I was so going to kill him. Something slid past my ankle and I jumped and screamed. There were probably snakes, and snapping turtles, and fish, and alligators and everything else in this lake.

I stayed perfectly still until something grabbed me around my ankle and started to pull. My head dipped under the water again and I felt restraints go around my immersed body as I kicked and thrashed.

My head broke free of the water just as I was about to take a breath. Edward's loud laughter filled the air and I turned to glare at him. "You, you, Edward how could you? You scared me to death." I yelled at him.

He looked at me again and burst out laughing once again. I exhaled loudly and stalked toward the beach. Edward caught me around the wrist and pulled me back toward him. "I'm sorry love." He said softly.

I pushed him away and headed back toward the beach. "Sorry is something you say when you don't mean something. Leave me alone." I groaned and started swimming this time.

I made it to the beach to see that the girls had witnessed my outburst of anger and they were now almost to the beach. I grabbed one of the towels that were there just in case someone fell in and wrapped it around me. I gathered my clothes and slipped on my flip-flops.

"Come on girls. Free time." I urged them.

It wasn't long before I was following the six hyper girls as they raced up the stairs to listen to music, write their parents, or just rest. I headed to the cabin and grabbed a new bathing suit and my toiletries.

I almost ran into Conley when I stormed out the door still mad at Edward. "Hey, what's wrong Bella?" She asked eyeing my muddy everything.

I frowned. "Edward tipped our canoe and I'm mad."

She laughed. "So are we still on for the prank tonight?"

I nodded. "Oh, we're on alright. Revenge is sweet."


A/N: Okay this chapter is super long. This is probably the longest chapter in the history of chapters. I hope this makes up for not updating for a while. Don't you just love revenge? Kayla does!
