A short drabble:
'Bella…' cooed Edward into her ear. 'Wake up Bella'
Bella jerked away, the edge of her ear stinging from Edward's cold touch. She blushed looking at Edward.
'Awake now love? Although…I'm surprised you didn't wake earlier. I suppose human senses aren't nearly as strong.'
Bella was too tired to try to argue with him. At any rate, he was right. But now that he mentioned it, she did hear something. Bangs and 'poing's; along with grunts every time a 'poing' was heard. She raised her eyebrow at Edward.
Chuckling, he brought her to her feet and walked hand in hand with her to the rec room. Walking through the open slide door, she saw a very strange scene. Little Alice was playing a fierce round of table tennis with Emmet. Bear-like Emmet.
'Bella!' boomed Emmet with a grin. He turned around to look at her and at that precise moment, Alice hit the ball across the table and off with a sounding 'bang'. She grinned and brushed a piece of immaculate hair off her face.
'Thanks Bella, I knew you were coming, but I wasn't sure when. All I knew was that I would win if I tried.'
Emmet scowled but being the good sportsman player that he was, said 'Best out of three?'
Bella fidgeted awkwardly. Alice suddenly stopped taunting Emmet to look dazed. She gasped 'No Bella!' and then immediately after laughed. Edward cursed under his breath.
Emmet took this opportunity to throw the ball up and smashed it. Straight into the net, which then collapsed. Bella suddenly slipped. From her point of view, it seemed Edward moved a moment too slow to catch her. She sat on the floor looking very crushed. She felt around her to find three table tennis balls.
Emmet laughed again and went over to bring her to her feet. She blushed again.
'Ah only our clumsy little Bella would fall under every possible opportunity!' With this he snickered and pulled her upright so he was looking down into her brown gaze. 'I wonder what you're going to be like as a vampire.'
'Hey Bella? Wanna play ping pong with me?' Alice asked.
'No!' Only Edward could sound that angry if Bella's safety was involved. Excluding Charlie of course. 'You'll smash Bella's arm to bits! If anyone should play against you it should be me. Our unique abilities should level each other out.'
Alice opened her eyes wide, so that she looked more like an innocent pixie than anything. Bella quickly looked at Edward to gauge his reaction. On his face was a frustrated expression.
Alice laughed and held up a new ball. 'Ready dear brother?'
She threw the ball up into the air and hit it so fast it was just a blur. To Bella's eyes it looked like Edward only raised his arm, but the ball travelled to him twice. Bella tried moving her head quickly to see the rally but it was too fast. She settled for just watching Edward.
Emmet crowed jubilantly but as Bella turned to look at him, she saw Rosalie next to him. They left together, trying to be as subtle as possible.
Bella turned back and this time watched Alice. The little black haired vampire was jumping. Ever so gracefully side to side; an evil smirk on her face. Bella looked at Edward and laughed. The look of constipation on his face turned to one of surprise. He turned around to look at her and at that precise moment, Alice hit the ball across the table and off with a sounding 'bang'.
'Thanks Bella, I knew that was going to happen, but I wasn't sure when. De ja vu much?'
