After seeing the movie Splash on television a few months ago Emmett had become deeply engrossed in legends of merfolk. I have told him again and again that the sightings were all manatees and whale penises, but he is unshakable in his belief.
Today at lunch in the cafeteria Emmett asked Bella if she wanted to join us on a hunt. I climbed on the table and started screeching at him immediately, only stopping when Bella firmly told me to "Sit down grandpa!", my arousal at her tone leaving me no choice but to immediately comply, despite Rosalie's cackling and Jasper's open mouthed gaping.
My protective actions had caused quite the stir in the cafeteria and we were now the centre of attention. We all talked in hushed voices until almost everyone got bored again and went back to consuming their beige, grey or crispy sludge.
It turns out Emmett was inviting Bella to go mermaid hunting with us. As soon as I heard the words 'hunt with us' I lost all sense of reason. He thought she might enjoy it and was trying to be brotherly. Bella absolutely wanted to see Emmett in action again, after New Year's Eve and my Bigfoot stories. She winked at me after she agreed to accompany us. My arousal redoubled, causing me to be unable to move from my seat and entirely miss fifth period.
Lord only knows what Emmett thinks he will find, but hopefully Bella will find his antics amusing at least. If nothing else he is sure to bring some next-level buffoonery wherever he goes.
A/N: Reviewers get to be a fly on the wall as Edward freaks out in the Forks High cafeteria (again).
Thanks a million to my wonderful betas itsthatkindofanight and wh1teow1. Please show some love and read Moirai, a reimagining of Twilight for the new decade!
