Well … to put it nicely … Esme totally goes off the rocker!

Angelgenius … I can't make any promises for the Volvo, sorry! And don't call me Brookie.

Going Green! Not just for the planet!

Esme picked the card out of the bowl. She squealed (again) and clapped her hands together. Emmett saw his name and wondered whether Alice would stop him if he made a run for it. She was probably really looking forward to this, so he knew he was going to have to do what Esme said.

"Emmett, I dare you to cover yourself in green paint and run around screaming 'I'm an alien!'" She crowed. Emmett waited for a long moment and everyone looked at Esme, waiting for her to say something like, 'just kidding'. She just kept grinning and waiting. After about five minutes, everyone realized that she was serious.

"Why green?" Bella asked, confused. Emmett glared at her.

"Why did you ask that? You could have asked her what happened to her mind, or when she completely lost it, or why I have to be an alien." He complained.

"Because aliens are always all green and they make funny noises, and they always have little antennas. " Esme said, laughing. Rosalie was wondering whether Emmett would still look hot when he had green skin.

"That's kind of stereotypical coming from a vampire who doesn't die in the sun." Bella told her while Alice came back with a can of spray paint. Emmett took his shirt off and Alice covered him in two coats of spray paint.

"And I think people will mistake him for the Hulk." Bella said confidently. Rosalie nodded and was wondering how she would look with green nail polish and whether a green T-shirt would clash with her hair. Predictable

"Not if he has an antenna!" Esme screamed, holding up a … antenna. It was a head band with a long cord going up and a large black ball on the end.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't think of anything to say about that." Alice said, shaking her head. The entire room was stunned speechless for a long time.

"This thing keeps getting in front of my face!" Emmett wailed as the ball dangled in front of him.

"Look on the bright side, people won't be able to see who it is." Bella pointed out. She was using her own camera to take pictures while Alice was trying to get all angles with the cameras.

"Now he looks like a really stupid version of the Hulk." Bella said, looking at the pictures she had taken. Emmett glared at her.

"Come on, back in the car!" Alice called, walking by the remains of Emmett's car as though they weren't even there. She got in Rosalie's car which, at the moment, was the only one completely unscathed.

"NOOOOOOO, WAIT!" Esme wailed as Bella, Rosalie, Alice, and Emmett left, leaving her standing in the drive way.

"Are you sure we shouldn't bring her?" Bella looked back over her shoulder. She was more worried that Esme would destroy the house while they were gone than her following them.

"Of course we're sure. If she came, she would probably run around in circles screaming her head off! And we do have the video to show her." Rosalie sighed, shaking her head as the pulled into a busy street. Even though it was almost night time, people were still on the streets of the small town. They pulled into an alley way so no one would see Emmett getting out.

"Okay Emmett, you and I are going to going to go out and you do what Esme dared. I'm going to go get the video footage." Alice said. Rosalie and Bella sat in the car as the other two got out and walked to the street.

"So, how's it going?" Bella asked, tapping her foot.

"I'M AN ALIEN! I AM AN ALIEN! OW, WHAT THEY HECK ARE YOU! HEY!" They heard the sound of metal hitting something … most likely Emmett.

"Good. The games okay I guess. How about you?

"ALICE, HELP! ROSALIE, BELLA, COME ON! THIS IS SO NOT – OKAY LADY, YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT BAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT HURTING ME SO JUST STO – OH COME ON!" No one came to his rescue. Alice was laughing a few feet away.

"You know, I thought it was going to be a lot worse, but it's actually kind of fun. You know, in a weird, kind of creepy sort of way." Bella responded, not paying attention to the yelling.

"ESME, YOU ARE SO DEAD! IT'S STILL NOT HURTING ME! WILL YOU STOP THAT?"

"Yeah, it is kind of creepy. I love the whole clothes burning part though. Sorry about your books, but you were asking for it. I was thinking of some good dares for Alice – EMMETT, WILL YOU SHUT UP OUT THERE! WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AND YOU'RE TOTALLY MESSING IT UP!" Rosalie yelled, poking her head out the car window. Alice dragged an unnerved looked Emmett back into the car. His antenna was broken so there wasn't a ball on the end anymore. Instead it was just a cord going straight up in the air, which looked even more stupid than it had with the ball.

"What happened to that poor bat?" Bella asked, picking up a discarded base ball bat. It was metal and there was a large dent in it that looked faintly … Emmett shaped. Bella giggled and Alice turned around to zoom her camera in on it.

"Some crazy old lady hit me with the bat! It wasn't my fault!" Emmett whined.

"Yes it was! You called Esme a brat; you know she's going to do something." Rosalie snapped as they started driving again.

"An old lady did this? Alice, can I see the tape?" Bella asked.

"No, of course not! You can watch the movie later though." Alice said, holding her camera as far away from Bella as possible.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE ME?" Esme wailed when they pulled into the drive way. She had changed into pink PJ's with big bunny slippers and was holding a giant pink teddy bear under one arm.

"Well, at least I'm not the stupidest looking person anymore." Emmett said, taking of the remains of the 'antenna'.

"You broke it! Why did you have to break it! I loved that antenna!" Esme wailed, hugging the object.

"I didn't break it, some crazy lady with a baseball bat did!" Emmett yelled. Rosalie shook her head.

"You can't reason with crazy people, or crazy vampires." She said. Bella and Alice walked back inside.

"YOU BROKE IT! WHY EMMETT, HOW COULD YOU?" Esme wailed as both Rosalie and Emmett dragged her inside the house. They were both taller than she was, so she was kicking her feet in the air, which wasn't doing anything.

"Rosalie, it's your turn now." Alice said once they had Esme calmed down (a little) and sitting on her sleeping bag.

"I don't see how I could top what Emmett just went through." She said.

"Then I'll go again!" Esme squealed, raising her hand as high as possible. Everyone looked at her and shook their heads.

"I want my pink bunny ears!" She wailed.

"What?" Everyone said at the same time. She ran out of the room and came back, wearing large floppy pink bunny ears.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Now you can go!" She said, hugging her teddy bear and sitting back down. No one moved.

"Okaaaaay then. Ummmm, Rosalie, go ahead." A still green Emmett said. Rosalie nodded and picked her card up.

"Wait I second. Alice, I got my own name!" She said.

"That means that we all work together to come up with an idea for your dare." Alice said.

"No one said that would happen!" She said, shocked.

"Well, you know now." Alice said.
