Here is another chapter for you! Thank you for the reviews but I would love to hear what you think! The song for this is "In My Life" by John Lennon and Paul Enjoy!
Angela nudged me as she saw who the other competitors were. I nodded as I saw them too. Bronwen Webber, Duff Goldman, Colette Peters, Elisa Strauss. Holy shit we were in the big league now. I suddenly felt like a guppy among the sharks.
"Will you all grab a seat. We have some changes to go over and I want to make sure every one understands them before the competition tomorrow." Keegan said as we sat around the table that was there.
"Thank you. Most of you know each other but I would like to introduce Bella Swan from Sugar and Spice. She is new to all of this but comes highly recommended and was at the top of her class. She is taking the place of the team that had the death in the family. We sent them the deepest sorrows from us and Nickelodeon." He looked over at me and everyone joined him.
I could feel the heat go from my toes to the top of my head. Great not only was I in the tank of sharks but I was the bait for them to feed on. I just mumbled hi and went on to listen to the rules. I never did find out whose place I was taking. I was nervous but happy to be here.
"As I said the rules have been changed. Ok not changed we just withheld them from you." he chuckled at that.
"You will not be baking anything. All the cakes will be provided for you. They are all from local bakeries and the best of the best. All supplies you think you will need must be decided tonight. We need the list no later than by midnight tonight. This gives us enough time to equip your stations. As for the shows you will be doing they will be drawn out of a hat. You will not know till you pick as to what you are doing. You will have 8 hours to get your cake done. There was a typo in the height requirements. It must be at least 30 inches tall. It will be carried by you and your help to the table. If you do not complete or it falls you will be disqualified. I will be at the front desk to receive your lists. Is everything clear?"
I heard mumbles of this is the toughest one yet and agrees to that. We all said we understood everything. Kerry brought out a hat with the Nickelodeon logo on it and had us draw out our shows. I prayed for something I knew. Bronwen went first and the rest followed with me last.
Bronwen Webber: Blues Clues
Duff Goldman: Two Angry Beavers
Colette Peters: Spongebob Square Pants
Elisa Strauss: Fairly Oddparents
Bella Swan: Avatar: The Last Airbender
I could see everyone was awed in what they picked. Duff Goldman had a weird grin on his face and Colette just shook her head. Everyone left to go get their game plans figured out. I did not know what to do till Angela nudged me to get to our room. She had a evil grin on her face. This could not be good. All I could do was not faint, no to trip over anything and not to lose my cookies. We walked to the elevator and went to our room.
I plopped on the bed and put my hands on my face. I did not know what the hell I was getting myself into. What the hell was Avatar?? If Alice was here she would know. She loved watching cartoons. Damn it why could I not get something simple like Blues Clues or Spongebob!
"Angela if you don't quit smiling at me I am going to smack you. We have 7 hours to figure out what the hell we are going to do and what supplies!" I was near hysterics.
"Bella calm down. We have got this in the bag. " Angela grabbed her phone and flipped it open. Just who the hell was she calling now? If she was going to have phone sex with Ben I was going to strangle in her sleep. I think no jury would convict do to stress over a cake competition.
She grabbed a pen and pad of paper out her bag and looked at me. What did she have up her sleeve and what did she mean by we had this in the bag? What was she not telling me. I was no damn mind reader!
"Hi sweetheart! Ok we got our show and you will never guess what we got! " Angela started writing things down and then I heard her move to her bedroom. I just rolled my eyes. I really was going to go to jail cause I was going to take her out.
I began to wonder if she was ever coming back. She soon appeared and had a huge smile on her face. I started to plot the ways I would take her out after wondering if her orgasm was that good. I looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
"No we did not do that! Get her mind out of the gutter. I called him cause he knows his stuff. I did not tell you down stairs but he loves Avatar. He gave me all sorts of sights that we can check out and get information from! We can do this Bella! I actually think we can win this!! Lets get our cake on!" She grabbed me off the bed.
I gave her a hug and thought to myself cancel the plot to take her out and give her the biggest thank you later. I grabbed my laptop and we went to work. I have to thank Ben later too. We had been working for hours figuring out shapes and what went where. For a cartoon show this one was complex with all worlds and characters. I finally went over the list to make sure we did not miss a thing. If we did there was no going back to fix it. Angela cleared her throat and noticed the time. We did rock, paper, scissors to see who would go down. I won so she left with the list
I ordered some food for us as we had not eaten in hours. The food we had early was long gone. I went into my bedroom and got into my pajamas. Comfort was the rule for the evening. If Steven Strait came to my door he would have to deal. I heard her come back and go to her room. I was sitting on the couch when she came out. Looks like we had the same idea of comfort.
"I ordered us some food. I noticed that both of our stomachs were growling as time went on. All I want is full stomach and get some sleep." I grabbed a pillow and hugged it.
"Thank you! I think I could eat cardboard with peanut butter right now. I am famished! Keegan said to be in the ballroom no later than 10am. They want to give us time to go through everything. Our official time will start at noon." She grabbed a pillow and we both enjoyed the silence.
I heard the knock on the door. Thank goodness our food was here. I went to the door and opened it to a shock!
"Surprise!!" Alice nearly gave me a coronary. What the hell was she doing here! I had so many questions for my pixie friend. I thought the plan to kill Angela was over but the plan to take out Alice was on.
"What? How? When? Who?" I just stuttered it all out. I was shocked to see her. She hugged me and started bouncing.
"Bella I could not miss this! I have been there for everything and you need my support. Who else is going to make sure you both look great for the cameras! I made the reservation as soon as you found out. I just wanted to surprise you!" She hugged me again me again and drug her bags in. How did her bag get up here if there was no bellhop.
"I am so glad you are here and yes you can help dress us. As to the questions I have you can answer them after the competition is over with. I ordered us some food. There will be plenty for you too. I am assuming you are my bed mate? Just don't make a move on me ok?!" We all went into a giggle fit. She drug her bags into the room I pointed out.
Soon our food was here. We ate as we filled her in on what happened. The whole plane trip, the food, how wonderful Stacy was and coming here. Angela filled her in on how I blushed from my toes to the top of my head when they introduced me. Alice was bouncing when she found out what our show was and was glad to see that Ben helped us. She told me that Ben and her often discussed the show. She also mentioned that Jasper happened to like it too. We all started yawning and we headed to bed. Alice went to the bathroom and came out in her best. She climbed into one side and I on the other.
"Bella I am glad you are happy I am here. Now keep your hands to yourself sunshine I am taken." she blushed but her eyes twinkled.
"Ok cupcake same for yourself. I am glad you are here." We started giggling again. Soon I heard her breathing calm and my eyes slowly drop. Sleep had found us.
APOV Sunday Morning
I woke up snuggled up to Jasper. What a way to wake up. I just hope we would get the chance to do it again sometime. I looked around and noticed no one else was up. I slowly leaned down and put a lingering but sweet kiss on his lips. He smiled at me and pushed back harder. Oh those lips! How I loved them so.
"Morning beautiful! What time is it?" He looked around to everyone else. He stretched and got up to move about. His beautiful long legs must have been cramped cause he started bending them in everyway he could.
"I don't know I have not see the time yet. The way the engine is sounding I think we are getting close to landing." I smiled at him.
Emmett and Rosalie were moving around. Emmett place a kiss on her lips and she smiled back at him. What a moment to see. Edward was up and closing up the bed. I smiled at him and he actually smiled a half smile back him. It was nice to see actually. We all moved about getting ready for landing. Jasper buckled me back into the seat and then himself.
I looked out the window and noticed the landmarks getting bigger and bigger. We approached the airport and I actually clapped when we made a smooth landing. We all unbuckled and gathered our things. Jasper helped me out of the jet and then I noticed the limo.
"I figured if they could ride in style we could too. The driver knows us anyway." He kind of chuckled at that.
We all got into the limo and enjoyed the ride to the hotel. They received their keys to their rooms. We had decided earlier to eat in the room and stay hidden till the activities for that night were over. I did not want the surprise for Bella to be ruined.
Jasper and Edward's room was two bedrooms and a huge living room. Edward placed his laptop on the desk and waited for Jasper. We were all to meet in Emmett and Rosalie's room to eat and watch movies. Their room was just one bedroom but still beautiful. We ordered an early lunch and sat down to figure out what to watch.
"When we checked in I asked if there was anything going on for tonight for the contestants. I was told that they had a meeting at 4 in the ballroom and it should be done soon after that. From what I heard Bella is in for a tough fight. The rules for this one are the toughest ever. We should stay in here till after 6pm just to make sure we don't get seen." he kissed my cheek as he got up to get the food that had arrived.
We all discussed to watch Underworld: Evolution. The boys wanted action and the girls wanted romance so it fit everyone.
We ate and discussed what we what club we were going to check out. Even though we were here a small amount of time, I wanted Bella to have some fun. The movie ended and with the food gone., we decided to play cards. The hours sped by as we played and soon it was after midnight.
I grabbed my bag and headed over to Bella's room. She would never guess they were on the floor and right next door to her. I knocked on the door and saw it open.
"Surprise!!" I yelled out. She did not say much other than the basics. I hugged her and started bouncing. I was so happy to see her!
I could see that she was startled to see me here. I noticed Angela was shocked too see me but happy.
"Bella I could not miss this! I have been there for everything and you need my support. Who else is going to make sure you both look great for the cameras! I made the reservation as soon as you found out. I just wanted to surprise you!" I hugged her again and drug my bags in. Bella looked for a bellhop and I just shrugged. She did not need to know that I had help from a certain blond man that I loved.
"I am so glad you are here and yes you can help dress us. As to the questions I have you can answer them after the competition is over with. I ordered us some food. There will be plenty for you too. I am assuming you are my bed mate? Just don't make a move on me ok?!"
I dragged my suitcases into what was our bedroom now. I heard the door shut and smelled the food had arrived. Angela started talking a mile a minute about how things had gone. She was in awe of the bed on the plane. She told me who was competing and how Bella blushed as she was introduced to everyone. I was so happy about them picking Avatar: The Last Airbender for their show. She did not know that Ben and I talked about the show all the time. I found out that Jasper loved the show too. Just another thing that I loved about him.
We laughed and caught up. Even though I just saw her yesterday they both had a lot to talk about. Soon we were all yawning and headed for bed.
"Bella I am glad you are happy I am here. I was not sure you would be if I did come. That is why I did not tell you my plan. I want to support you just like you support me. Now keep your hands to yourself sunshine I am taken." she blushed but her eyes twinkled. She did not need to know I had spent the best night of my life so far in the arms of a god.
"Ok cupcake same for yourself. I am glad you are here." We started giggling again. She flung an extra pillow at me. I just hoped she would be happy tomorrow to see everyone else. I knew she had a lot of work ahead of her. She had never done anything like this before and I knew she was nervous. Sleep soon took over my eyelids and I went to sleep wondering what Jasper was up too.
