this is an awsome story that emma decided to write about our group...
It was the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except Barney the mouse. He had just taken a bite of a Christmas cookie when suddenly, Margie yawned. She was waking up. Barney decided that Giselle’s room would be a safer place to eat. He crept past Clancy’s room, being extra quiet, as he remembered that Clancy was afraid of mice. He looked into Emma’s room on the way past, and saw that she had decorated it for Christmas; compete with a Christmas tree, decorated with baubles Ainsley and Emma found in an old treasure chest in the spare room, which they cleaned out for Hannah.
When Barney reached Giselle’s room, he sat down on her binoculars-which she claimed she only used for bird watching, even though she had a perfect view of Will Beckett’s backyard-and started to eat. He heard bells. Clancy’s pet monkey, Ralph, climbed down off Giselle’s bookshelf, the bells on his collar jingling. He picked up Zoe’s old toy reindeer, Steve, and started to try and hit Barney with it.
‘What time is it…?’ Giselle had woken up. Without further ado, Barney dropped his cookie and ran.
Barney found refuge under Isabel’s pillow; as Isabel was sleeping on the floor, having fallen out of bed. Barney was about to go to sleep when he heard a loud crash. He put it down to Ralph, and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was late Christmas morning, and Margie, Giselle, Zoe, Ainsley, Clancy, Hannah, Isabel and Emma were opening Christmas presents in the kitchen.
‘A studded belt! You shouldn’t have…’Zoe gushed, after tearing away the wrapping paper on her present to reveal the belt she had demanded for Christmas. Emma looked a little bit nauseous; Barney guessed she’d forgotten something, like the fact that she was supposed to make lunch.
‘Um…I forgot to organise lunch…’ Emma said in a quiet voice. Ainsley sighed.
‘Did anyone else hear that crashing sound last night?’ Margie asked.
‘It was Ralph,’ Clancy answered.
‘YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF RALPH!!!’ Hannah said, in her normal voice.
‘I agree. He’s so annoying.’ Emma looked relieved that everyone had forgotten about lunch, for now.’I like Ralph,’ Giselle said, ‘he attacks Will Beckett’s fans; they’re so annoying, staring at him mowing his front lawn.’ Margie and Clancy burst into song, ‘They see me mowing my front lawn…’ they sang.
Isabel looked up from her iPod, as the door bell rang.
‘The door bell rang!’ she yelled, for no reason.
‘Wow, I didn’t notice,’ Zoe said sarcastically, getting out of her chair. She opened the door to reveal Will Beckett.
‘Hi, I’m looking for Ainsley; I need to return her copy of Twilight,’ he said, ‘Gaspard asked me to give this to Isabel.’ He handed Isabel a piece of cake. For the first time in her life, Isabel was speechless.
‘He’s coming to see you later,’ Will added, not wanting Isabel to think that Gaspard didn’t like her. Isabel sighed in relief.
Hannah looked at Will, and said, ‘UMM… CAN I COME TO YOUR PARTY? I HEARD THAT NICK JONAS WAS GOING TO BE THERE.’
‘Sure, you can all come’ said Will, ‘and, no, Nick Jonas isn’t coming, just his identical twin, who, by the way, is a way better kisser.’
‘Oh, okay,’ said Hannah, before grabbing Emma and Clancy and dragging them into her room to help her choose an outfit.
‘So, Will…’ Giselle began, ‘I heard that Ralph nearly killed your girlfriend.’
‘She’s now my ex-girlfriend,’ Will replied sadly, ‘All of the girls I hang out with just can’t deal with the fact that there will always be a psycho, gay monkey fighting them for my attention.’
‘Umm, Will,’ Ainsley said, frowning, ‘Why are pages 73-381 missing from my copy of New Moon?’
‘I cut them out,’ Will replied, ‘Jacob can go die.’ Ainsley looked stunned, but then regained herself and went to find Emma, and demand that she get lunch from somewhere.
The door bell rang again.
‘The door bell rang!’ Izzy yelled, before launching herself at the window to see if it was Gaspard, ‘It’s only Bloomy,’ she sighed, opening it to reveal Josh, dressed in a Santa suit.
‘I had a crazy dream that James from Twilight killed you all,’ he said, before checking to see that everyone was alive. He got beaten up by Hannah, when he walked into her room while she was getting changed.
‘YOU… YOU… YOU…’ Hannah fumed, unable to find words to express her feelings.
‘Lucky you didn’t come in earlier,’ Emma giggled, ‘She was half dressed when you came in… You’d be dead if you walked in when she was fully undressed.’ Clancy laughed so hard she started to snort when Hannah poked Emma.
‘Emma!’ Ainsley yelled, ‘Can you come and help with lunch…?’
‘Sure,’ Emma panted, disentangling herself from Hannah and pulling Bloomy, who was trying to stop Hannah from tickling him, away.
Emma arrived in the kitchen to find Ainsley and Will, on the floor, covered in flour. Will had a cracked egg on the top of his head, and Ainsley had milk on her shirt. Emma pouted; not because the kitchen wasn’t useable anymore, but because she had missed the food fight.
‘I guess its Red Rooster for lunch, then,’ she said, before laughing at the sight of Ainsley and Will’s ‘deer in headlights’ looks. Emma supposed that they hadn’t seen her come in.
‘I guess it’s going to have to be,’ Will agreed, still slightly stunned, ‘I’d better go and start preparing for my party. Thanks for Eclipse, Ains.’
‘You’re welcome,’ Ainsley got up off the floor, and began to brush the flour off, ‘See you tonight.’
‘Wait… Are you going on a date with Will?’ Emma asked.
‘No, Emma,’ Ainsley sighed, ‘His party, remember?’
‘Right,’ Emma agreed.
‘Come on, you guys,’ Margie entered the kitchen, ‘We have to get ready for the party!’
‘What party?’ asked Emma.
The Party.
‘Come on in,’ Gaspard opened the door wide, so that everyone could come in, ‘And, Izzy, I really need to talk to you.’
‘Its okay, Gaspard,’ Izzy joked, ‘I know you’re gay.’
‘You knew?’ Gaspard looked stunned, ‘All this time…’
‘Oh my God,’ Izzy said, ‘I was joking…’
‘Au revoir, Isabel,’ Gaspard said, mournfully.
‘Goodbye, Gaspard,’ said Emma, dragging a grinning Izzy towards the centre of the dance floor where Izzy started to laugh.
‘Um… Iz?’ Emma asked, she waved a hand in front of Izzy’s face for a second before continuing, ‘I saw Tommy Bastow before, and he asked me where you were.’ Izzy didn’t answer; she just took off to find Tommy.
‘Wow, she bounces back fast,’ said Zoe, appearing out of nowhere with a hot guy trailing after her, ‘Oh, and this is Steve,’ she said, gesturing towards the guy, who stuck out his hand. Emma hesitated a second, before shaking his hand in a manner that made clear the fact that she thought he hadn’t washed his hands recently. Zoe rolled her eyes, before heading towards the stage with Steve.
‘He’s the bass player in the band that’s playing tonight,’ she whispered to Emma.
‘Huh?’ said Emma, but Zoe had left before she could ask another question.
‘Hey,’ said a voice behind Emma.
Giselle found Will in a deep conversation with Ainsley about Twilight.
‘…that Jane is an awesome vampire,’ Will finished saying.
‘Well-‘ Ainsley began, but she was cut off by Giselle.
‘Hi, Will,’ said Giselle. Will couldn’t be bothered with social niceties, he just kissed Ellie. Ains just stood there.
‘Oh… sorry Ains,’ said Will, ‘I couldn’t be bothered with social niceties.’
‘That’s okay… I guess,’ said Ains, ‘How long have you two been…?’
‘We haven’t,’ answered Will, ‘I just felt like kissing Ellie.’
‘Yeah,’ Giselle managed to choke out, over her shock.
‘But we’re getting together now.’
‘You are?”
‘We are?’
‘Sure. Ellie, will you be my girlfriend?’ said Will. Giselle kissed him in response, and Ains had to leave. She found Jackson Rathbone sitting at the bar.
‘Hiya Ainsley,’ he said, ‘Wanna dance?’
‘Sure,’ she said, ‘lead the way.’
Emma turned around to find Michael Welch standing behind her.
‘Hey,’ she said. She was about to say something else, but then Zoe came up behind her.
‘The after party’s at our house, kay?’ Bring someone,’ she said, before joining the crowd in front of the stage. Emma stared after her. Michael tapped Emma on her shoulder, ‘Are you okay?’ he asked.
‘Of course,’ she said, ‘Do you… want to go to the party after the party at my house’
‘Sure.’
The After Party.
In the end, there were about twenty people at the ‘after party’. There was Ellie and Will, Ainsley and Jackson, Emma and Michael, Zoe and Steve, Hannah and Nick Jonas’ identical twin, who’s name turned out to be Miles, Margie and a cute guy who was from the same band as Steve who’s name was Bill, Clancy and Aaron Johnson, Izzy and Tommy, plus Gaspard and another guy from Steve’s band; this one called Jason, and Bloomy with Ashley Greene.
‘Let’s play Spin the Bottle!’ cried Clancy, over all of the noise. Everyone agreed, except Emma, who was poked into it.
The first people up were Emma and Michael, who kissed willingly enough, even though both of them claimed that they were ‘just friends’. Then Will got picked. Giselle prayed that they bottle wouldn’t land on Ains. It didn’t. It landed on Gaspard.
‘Kiss, kiss, kiss…’ Emma and Margie started to chant, before Ellie gave them both Death Glares. Gaspard kissed Will, and Will kissed Gaspard. Everyone seemed to hold their breath for the length of the kiss, except for Clancy and Aaron, who weren’t paying attention. And Emma, because she couldn’t hold her breath that long.
When they broke apart, Will smiled, ‘Dude, you’re a pretty good kisser…’ he said. Giselle’s mouth fell open.
‘You’re better, though, Ellie,’ said Will. Ellie sighed, and kissed him.
The rest of the night proved mostly uneventful, besides Hannah kicking Miles out, and Emma and Michael admitting that they were slightly more than ‘just friends’ (Emma was poked into admitting it). When all of the guests had gone, everyone went to bed, and Barney resumed his usual search for a place to eat his cookies…
The End.
