RedRose: Em, is everything ready?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Yeah. Bella will have a cow.

RedRose: When are Carlilse, Esme, Edward, Alice, and Jasper getting back from their hunting trip?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Soon, I think. We don’t have much time. Hang on. Let me call Bella and tell her.

RedRose: Wait a minute. You know Bella’s phone number?!

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Chill, Rose. Alice left her phone, and it’s programmed into her cell.

RedRose: Okay.

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Okay, I’m back. I called Bella and told her to come over. She was confused, but I managed to convince her.

RedRose: When do you think she’ll get here?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: As long as it will take her rickety old truck to make the drive over. She should know the way by now.

RedRose: I hope Alice didn’t see this happening. If she did, you know she’ll have told Edward. He’ll kill us when he finds out.

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Ah, relax, Rosalie. How many times are we going to have the house ALL to ourselves? Silly Bella. She doesn’t know that it’s just us.

RedRose: Why does she think we want her over here?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: I told her that Alice needed her for something. She didn’t believe me at first.

RedRose: Gee, Emmett, I wonder why! You called from Alice’s phone and told her that Alice needed her for something and that she couldn’t call Bella herself?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Chill OUT, Rosalie. I hear Bella’s truck. Get the stuff and let’s go!

RedRose has entered the chatroom.

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly has entered the chatroom.

FortuneTeller: Rose, Em, you two are DEAD. How could you do that to Bella?

JazzItUp: Yeah. That was really mean of you guys.

MountainLion: I have NEVER wanted to kill you two more. You’d better explain FAST, or I swear for the love of all things holy, I will rip you both into a million tiny pieces for doing that to Bella.

RedRose: Calm down, Edward. We didn’t mean any harm.

MountainLion: Didn’t mean any harm? YOU MADE BELLA FAINT, FOR GOD’S SAKE! YOU SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF HER!

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: We didn’t know that she would faint! We just wanted to scare her a little!

FortuneTeller: Ooh, wrong thing to say, Emmett.

JazzItUp: Prepare yourself for the explosion, you two. I think Edward’s literally going to blow a gasket.

MountainLion: YOU WHAT?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: EDWARD, CHILL!

MountainLion: You just wanted to SCARE HER A LITTLE? Don’t you think Bella has enough fear in her life already?

RedRose: Edward, we’re sorry. We really are. It was supposed to be a harmless joke. We didn’t know Bella would react so strongly.

JazzItUp: Edward, maybe you should calm down a little.

MountainLion: SHUT UP, JASPER!

FortuneTeller: EDWARD! -growls-

RedRose: You’re all insane!

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: This would be hilarious if it weren’t so ridiculous!

MamaVamp has entered the chatroom.

StregoniBenefici has entered the chatroom.

MamaVamp: Emmett. Rosalie. I cannot believe you two!

StregoniBenefici: You nearly gave Bella a heart attack. From Edward’s snarling upstairs, I gather you two must have given him one, too.

RedRose: We’re sorry, okay?!

FortuneTeller: It is NOT okay! Poor Bella!

JazzItUp: What EXACTLY did you two DO, anyway?

RedRose: Nothing much. This morning, Emmett and I decided to play a TINY joke on Bella. No one else was around, and besides, we can’t hardly surprise any of you. So Emmett called Bella on Alice’s cell phone, and asked her to come over. When we heard her truck pulling up, we pulled on these creepy black robes and covered our faces with the hoods, kind of like the Volturi. And when Bella came in, we hid. She walked around the living room, calling Alice’s name, and we jumped out and scared her. She screamed and then she sort of trembled, before she fainted.

MountainLion: THE VOLTURI? YOU IMITATED THE VOLTURI?

FortuneTeller: You two know how much the Volturi worry Bella!

MamaVamp: Poor Bella!

StregoniBenefici: I am absolutely astounded that you two would even consider doing that to Bella! The Volturi are no laughing matter!

RedRose: We know! It was just a joke!

JazzItUp: What happened after Bella fainted?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Rosalie freaked out because she knew you guys would get ticked off and I laid Bella on the couch.

FortuneTeller: Then you fled the scene of the crime, at about which time we arrived, alerted by my vision of two cloaked figures appearing in the house and attacking Bella. Which, by the way, scared us all senseless.

MountainLion: Do you have any IDEA how horrified we were upon walking in and seeing Bella curled up on the couch, pale as a sheet? If it weren’t for her heartbeat, which was going ninety miles a minute, I would have thought she was dead!

RedRose: Well, she wasn’t! She woke up right after you got there, didn’t she?

MountainLion: You don’t even sound sorry!

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Well, it was kind of funny.

FortuneTeller: EMMETT!

StregoniBenefici: Emmett, how can you say that?

JazzItUp: You’d better watch it, Em, Edward’s pretty p.!

MountainLion: EMMETT. YOU. ARE. DEAD. AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

MountainLion has left the chatroom.

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly: Ah, crap. I’m really in for it now, aren’t I?

EmmettTheIrritableGrizzly has left the chatroom.
