To Julez: I saw that there is in fact a Portland, Washington

To Julez: I saw that there is in fact a Portland, Washington. But thank you for pointing it out.

To weasley girl 6666: That is an excellent idea. I might use it.

To Water-Lyly: I'm glad you liked it.

All of a sudden, Rosalie called out "Strip Poker; House Rules!"

I gasped. Alice had seen this coming, I knew it. She just looked down at her feet after seeing my expression. I thanked God I had been wearing those damned layer shirts Alice had insisted on buying me. Luckily I was also wearing my shoes, socks, jeans, and a sweatshirt.

Still, the odds were against me. I was a horrible poker player.

I went to go sit down next to Alice and Rose, who were shuffling a deck of cards. I groaned as she dealt me my hand.

I was losing- fast. Within the first two rounds, I had already lost my shoes, socks and sweatshirt.

I looked at my hand; it sucked. The house rules were if you folded you had to remove an article of clothing. If you lost more than twenty chips you had to take off two. I had bet twenty five chips; but then I folded.

I cussed under my breath and took of one of my over shirts, then another, then another. All I had left now was one tank top, my jeans, and my underclothes.

The hours ticked by; I couldn't believe how slow this game was lasting. I looked at the clock; it was already 9:45. Edward had said he'd be home by 10.

Rosalie and Alice had quit; even with her sight, she couldn't stop herself from losing. Rosalie had quit because Alice had. Now it was me and Emmett left. I was down to my underclothes; Emmett had his boxers and left sock.

I was about to fold and leave when Edward burst in through the door, looking quite happy with himself. His mood changed when he saw Emmett and me.

"Does anyone care to explain why my brother and fiancé are in their underclothes alone together?" he growled at Emmett. I leapt up.

"Edward," I explained. "We had the best day! First I took Emmett golfing; he won of course, but then we went to McDonald's and messed with the slimy cashier. After that Rose, Emmett, Alice and I car raced; we won on Alice's Porsche. You have just walked in on Emmett and me finishing a strip poker game. Alice and Rose have already lost, you see."

I inhaled; that had been a mouthful. All of a sudden, Edward started laughing.

"What's so funny?" I demanded.

"Your cute little face! You should see it when your angry- no don't go anywhere, Emmett, I'm not done with you. You didn't keep Bella as safe as she could have been. However, she is back in one cute little piece, so I won't kill you." he said to Emmett.

"Thanks, bro." Emmett said relieved. He went to leave, but in a flash Edward had pushed him to the ground.

"Not so fast. I'm going upstairs for a while with Bella; I'll come back when she's asleep. I wouldn't move if I were you." Edward laugh-growled.

I smiled. Edward was scaring his big brother!

"Come on, Bella." he motioned to the stairs. I looked at Emmett as I collected my clothes from the pot first.

"It was fun, Emmett. Hope you don't get pounded too hard." I said as I made my way upstairs.

About two hours later, Edward made his way downstairs with me. Emmett was lying there, playing a virtual solitaire game.

Edward smacked Emmett upside his head and opened the door for me to go outside.

"Bye, Emmett!" I called as he rubbed his head tenderly. Today had been fun; Emmett was a handful, I had to admit. But, he was a great big brother. And for that I was thankful.

Well? What are your thoughts? Should I continue this with a Bonding Time with Jasper? Alice? Rosalie? Carlisle? Esme? You tell me in your reviews. I would really like them to be thourough in why you did or didn't like the ending.

No Bob, get tthe hell away from my cookie! Nooooooooo! You ate my cookie! It was still soooo young!

Excuse me, I need a moment. sniffle
