(EPOV)
As I was walking out of my room I heard Alice and Bella giggling in the study. That was odd. As of recent Bella had been in a sombre mood and was kind of, depressed. I shook of this feeling and ran in a second to the study. They both were squatted in the same chair their eyes transfixed to the computer screen.
"What's so funny?" I asked. Bella and Alice turned to face me.
"It's just this quiz," Alice began, and I looked at the screen. I saw it blaring at me. The iPod Shuffle Quiz. Bella had her iPod in her hand.
"Why is it so funny?" I asked again, my facial expression must have been hilarious to them because in a sisterly like manner they both started laughing again. I turned to walk about but I felt a warm hand on my arm.
"No, you try."
"I don't think that's necessary," I said, pulling Bella into my arms, a million possibilities running through my mind. Bella was blushing in my arms. That was something I was definitely going to miss. I heard a cough and I glared at Alice. Alice glared back.
Just do it, it'll make Bella happy, Alice hissed in her thoughts. I sighed in defeat and took charge of the computer.
"What do I do?" I asked the pair of them. They both pointed at the screen and I read the instructions. All I had to do was put the iPod on shuffle and the song that would appear would be the song that answered each individual question. I still didn't understand how this was meant to be funny, or predict anything about me. Nonetheless Bella pored over her iPod and I wanted to please her. If this would make her laugh then so be it. She then held the iPod out to me.
"You know what you have to do," Bella said. I took the iPod and pressed shuffle, which answered the first question.
How does the world see you? Seventeen Forever – Metro Station
There was a chuckle behind me as the song blared through the headphones.
"What?" I said fiercely at Alice. She just shook her head innocently and kept her mind blank. I looked at Bella who looked as if she could burst with laughter she would. I gritted my teeth as I was reminded in frustration that I couldn't read Bella's mind. I moved onto the next question.
Will I have a happy life? I'm not okay (I promise) – My Chemical Romance
I ignored the continuous giggles and proceeded onto the next few questions.
What do people really think of me? The Boy who blocked his own shot – Brand New
Do people secretly lust after me? Yes Please - Muse
How can I make others happy? You make me smile – Blue October
How can I make myself happy? Please, please, please, let me get what I want - Muse
"What kind of songs do you listen to?" I asked, now frustrated that Bella didn't have a single classical acoustic song on her iPod. I could think of dozens of songs that would fill the spaces in an adequate way. I don't think that getting what I want would fulfil my happiness in any way. I continued on.
What should I do with my life? Scientist - Coldplay
Will I ever have children? One of a kind – Kaiser Chiefs
What is good advice for me? That's what you get - Paramore
What do I think my current theme song is? Clair de Lune – Claude Debussy
I smiled at that song. At least some things stuck. Except I frowned when I saw the next song:
What do people think my theme song is? No I in Threesome – Interpol
"That's it. I quit," I said standing up, only having Emmett shove me straight back into the seat.
"Hold it, bro. I want to see the rest of these answers," Emmett said with a grin on his face. I knew Alice had set Emmett onto this.
"And there's a curse for people who don't finish it," I heard a female voice say. Rosalie. Great. As if I needed her to see what some trivia game said. I groaned and I clicked the next song for the questions I had to answer.
What song will play at my funeral? Invincible – Ok Go
What type of men/women do you like? Someone to die for – Jimmy Gnecco
What is my day going to be like? It's a disaster – Ok Go
"Yes, it is," I muttered under my breath before carrying on.
Why am I here? MakeDamnSure – Taking back Sunday
What will people remember me for? Animal I've become – Three Days Grace
What song will I get in my head tomorrow? Breaking Free – Troy and Gabriella.
I looked up at Bella who was blushing scarlet.
"I like that song. Lots of people like that song," she whispered in embarrassment.
"We're soaring!" Emmett started to sing, hoping people would join in, but didn't. We looked at him in disgust.
"Do you like Dirty Dancing too, Bella?" I asked playfully but the glare I got in return almost killed my soul. Except for the fact I don't have a soul.
"Just carry on with the quiz," Bella said, trying to change the subject. Oh, High School Musical was definitely going to be a conversation I'm going to change to when she pressurises me into talking about stuff I don't want to. I turned back to the screen and iPod.
Are there people outside waiting to take me away? Take me away – Plain White T's
What will this year be about? Vampires will never hurt you – My Chemical Romance
I smirked at that song but carried on...
If you reached the top of Mt. Everest you'll scream: Yellow - Coldplay
The next time you stand in front of a group of people you'll say: Copacabana – Barry Manilow
I looked up at Bella again in unison with the rest of my family.
"Copacabana?" I questioned in a voice that made Bella turn mauve because she was already so scarlet. I could smell the excess of blood flow to her cheeks making them deliciously red like an apple. I pinched myself so I didn't get so lost in the temptation to attack Bella here, right here, right now.
"It was on a TV show and I listened to it and it was pretty good and just carry on with the thing Edward," she said quickly without taking a single breath. I grumbled and tried to finish this quickly.
Your message to the world: I'm like a Lawyer with the way I'm always trying to get you off – Fall out boy
"What?" I yelled, speaking my mind. Emmett, Alice, Bella and Rosalie were in fits of laughter. Their raucous laughter had attracted yet another person. Jasper. I felt a swirling in my stomach almost as soon as he walked in. It was going to be hard wanting to quit this stupid quiz with him keeping me calm. Except, the calm that Jasper brought echoed around the room and everyone was resolutely silent. Maybe that was Jasper's motive all along – to make everyone quiet whilst he read his new book on philosophy. This theory was shattered when I saw that he, too, was interested in what this iPod had to say about me.
Your deepest secret? Real good looking boy – The Who
Your innermost desire? I want it all – Sharpay and Ryan
"High School Musical, again?" I spluttered at the choice of songs on the iPod.
"Edward, you listen to classical music in the 21st Century," Bella said back pointedly.
"Touché," everyone replied. I muttered, "What's wrong with classical music?" under my breath so that Bella couldn't hear but everyone heard and I could hear their responses in my head.
It's boring...There's no point...It's boring...It has no meaning whatsoever...It displays emotions that are kind of weird...It's boring...
"I get it!" I said out loud. Bella looked confused and I let Alice explain to her as Emmett had my head in his hands and was forcing me to look at the screen.
Your oldest memory makes you think: This is how I disappear – My Chemical Romance
Somewhere in your wedding vows you'll include: Stab my back – All-American Rejects
When you wake up in the morning you mutter: Earth to Bella - Incubus
Right now, your feelings are: Apocalypse please – Muse
The day you fall in love will be the day that: Vindicated – Dashboard Confessional
"That's funny," Rosalie muttered behind my back. Emmett had finally let go when he saw that I needed to look at the iPod to see the songs.
"What's funny?" Bella asked, looking at Rosalie. Rosalie looked at me, and she must have seen something in my eyes because she shook her head, her golden locks barely moving at all. It was a move I could see Bella envying. I couldn't see how Bella could ever envy anything Rosalie could do. Nonetheless, I could see Rosalie visualise the moment in her mind. The day that Alice had that vision was proved correct. Except, there were other visions that she determined. Such as Bella as a cold-hearted vampire. I shook the memory out my mind and I could almost feel Rosalie's smugness. I looked at Jaspers unease and knew he could definitely feel it. The song changed and it answered the next question.
You scream during sex: Stuck in a moment you can't get out of – U2
Everybody laughed. I was almost mortified. Emmett's shrill guffaws sent everyone hysterical on the floor. If, at that point I could blush, I would sit there and be almost purple with embarrassment, but Bella's tinkling laughter made me smile, but the fact that she was almost crying with laughing so much, made me want to stand up and run away to my room and barricade myself inside there. At least I made Bella happy. I am such a masochist! I was willing to see her happy and was willing to put any dignity I had on the line. When Emmett saw my stern face, he only bended over and stared laughing even more which made everyone else laugh as well. Emmett's laughter was contagious, and the study door opened yet again to two laughing people. Great. I didn't want Carlisle and Esme to see this, or even hear of it. Except, when you have a group of people that are laughing so hard that eventually one of them is going to laugh their heart out of their mouths, it was going to attract attention.
"What's going on here?" Esme asked with a wide smile.
"Madhouse. I'm the only sane one here," I muttered and turned back to the quiz. I was so near finishing it, I might as well. Finish it.
You'd describe your best friend as: Pain – Jimmy Eat World
I smirked.
Your friends describe you as: Womanizer – Britney Spears
This sent more laughter through the group. Even Carlisle chuckled. That was great, I had no one on my side to tell me that I should stop.
In an elevator you are most likely to:...
Before I could answer the question about the elevator Emmett hushed up and everyone were suddenly very interested on what I could be doing in an elevator. I pressed the fateful button.
Macarena – Los del Rio
"No." I answered instantaneously. Everyone had evil smiles apart from Carlisle and Esme. This didn't make me feel any better as they had small smiles too.
"Yes," Emmett said.
"You have to do the Macarena on an elevator," Alice said, her thoughts were hazing and I could see myself doing the dance in the elevator with some businessmen and Alice, Emmett and Bella were chuckling in the corner. The vision hazed and I could see Alice, holding a camera.
"That is not fair!" I shouted aloud. Everyone looked at me, and I could sense defeat. Maybe it was the channels of defeat that Jasper was running into me, I will never know, but for years to come, I knew I was going to regret the thing I did next. I looked at Bella and could see that she needed me to cheer her up. I had put her through a lot, and she came back to me, and I knew that there were a lot of people that weren't willing to do that. Unless they loved them. I love Bella. I knew I had to do the most masochistic thing, just to make her realise it.
"Fine. You win."
I turned to the screen, now in a temper and was determined to finish this dammed quiz.
Your philosophy in life is: Tired of being sorry – Enrique Inglesias.
"You listen to Enrique Inglesias?" I said in a shocked voice. When there was no reply I saw that Alice, Rosalie and Bella had melted onto the floor. Esme looked like she was about to fall on the ground too.
"Enrique would make a nice vampire," Rosalie said dreamily. Alice moaned in agreement. Bella had completely spaced out. For once, I was grateful that I couldn't see what she could possibly be thinking. Jasper, Emmett and I looked at each other.
"The guy is like, 30," I told them in shock. Bella I could understand lusting over Enrique. That hurt. My girlfriend lusted over a Spanish guy. I shook that thought out of my head for a minute. Rosalie was hard to budge about human guys, but there was always a guy that could sway her. I was shocked completely about Alice's reaction. In her eyes, Jasper had always been the guy for her and never looked anywhere else. Well, now there was Jasper and Enrique. Luckily, Alice was the first to recover which made Jasper smug. Emmett and I knew he was playing with her emotions.
"Edward, you're more than a hundred years old," Alice snapped back.
"Jasper's more than three hundred," I said back in retaliation.
"I believe we were talking about you and Enrique here," Alice said, turning the argument back to where it was before I drove it away. Jasper looked, if possible, smugger.
"Say it," Alice said with an evil grin and enunciating each word, "Say it out loud."
The words had a staggering effect on me. Maybe it was Jasper with his manipulations again, but I couldn't help but whisper, "Touché."
Alice patted my head, "good boy Edward," she said before peering over my shoulder and I noticed the song had changed, yet again.
This answered the final question...
Your farewell message to the readers is: Tell Mick he just made my list of things to do today – Fall out boy.
"Thank God it's over," I muttered, grabbing Bella and hoping to run as far as possible away from my dysfunctional family.
Unfortunately, this plan was thwarted by Alice who grabbed my arm.
"Oh, Edward, we're not letting you go that easily," she said quietly.
And my family were thinking the same thing. I didn't need an ability to be able to tell.
I groaned.
"No..."

As you can tell, I was really bored when I wrote this. It was fun.
Most of the songs are from Stephenie Meyer's playlist, and some research. Some were just out of my playlist or songs that are just plain fun.
I don't know if I should make it into a story or keep it a oneshot. Hmmm...
