Edward POV

"Who's the manliest man of manliest men of the manliest men?" Emmett and Jasper had been chanting for the last five minutes, gradually getting louder as they tried to outdo each other. It was shaking the walls of my room and rattling the keys of my piano. Well, it was one way to pass the endless years. Bella gave me an exasperated look, which could be translated into: Can you shut them up! I offered Bella a sigh and my arm to her (A/N: sigh such a gentleman) and we made our way downstairs.

I 'yelled' out, "Emmett, Jasper, why do you feel the urge to find out who's the manliest man of manliest men of the manliest men?" Bella looked at me, unexpected amusement in her chocolate eyes. "What?" I asked, confused. If only I could read her mind...

"I assume you've played this game before Edward. Anyway, who is the manliest man of the menopause men...oh, sorry Edward." Trust Bella to stumble (get it?) when speaking. However, what was really strange was that even this little embarrassing incident hadn't stopped Jasper, or even Emmett and from their chanting.

Walking into the lounge room, I was met with a curious sight. Black and red balloons covered the ceiling and said coloured crêpe paper was slung everywhere, including my piano. Explaining why the room was covered in all this was a huge black with red text banner exclaiming: Who's the Manliest Man of Manliest Men of the Manliest Men Competition! All Manly Men Welcome!

Groaning, I peered around for the culprit of all this mess. "Alice!"

This is all for now. I'm going to post again tomorrow, or when I get a few reviews. If you see any errors or have any ideas, please tell me. I will try to reply to all reviews, so if you don't want me to reply, say so. I know this is short, but I'll try posting frequently, twice a day after my exams are over. I'm also working on another story. Lastly, if you see any Australian-American discrepancies, do not call them mistakes. I am proud of being an Aussie, so forget complaining. Any who, R&R please!
