"Honestly Celeste, are you actually learning I something or are just spending time getting more tattoos?" Dad asked me while staring at my third tattoo since I started at the shop a little over a month ago.

"Both, honestly I think Vega is just happy she can finally do some tattoos." Apparently she is also tattoo artist, however she mostly does piercing because she specializes in cartoons and anime things. "Besides I'm part of the ANBU now."

"ANBU, isn't that from like a book or something."

"Anime actually, Naruto the one with the emo, the sunshine and the pinkie."

"Right right." Dad says as he takes a sip from his beer. "And those two I don't know."

"It's just a pretty little snake and the moon phases." I tell him shrugging. "Besides, now I get a discount so better for me and my wallet."

"Very true."

"Although I will admit, I do have to buy a few new shirts from getting ink stains on them." Sadly. "Good thing I wear mostly black."

"Hi Esme." I said as I walked into the Cullen kitchen where she was cooking.

"Hi Celeste." I sit down at the kitchens island and watch her cook while I wait for Alice who summoned me here. "Here, eat up." She places a plate in front of me.

"Thank you." She smiles and walks out of the kitchen. I sit and eat in silence until Alice skips in.

"Sup pixie."

"Okay we need to plan." She sets out a small pink binder in front of me.

"Plan what?"

"Yours and Bella's birthday party."

"Bella hates parties Alice." I tell her and she waves it away. "I also will not be in town for my birthday."

"What I didn't see that." Oh to be a foreseeing vampire. "Where are you going?"

"Arizona." I tell her sighing. "I have a grave to visit."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"It's cool. Sorry I'll miss the party. Make sure to take pictures of Bella being awkward for me." She laughs her little bell like laugh.

"Will do, so tell me this theme or this one." She shows me two very sparkly options one pink and one champagne and red.

"That's very dramatic Alice. Isn't it just your family and Bella?"

"Yup."

"Then the pink." She nods and takes out more pictures according to that theme.

"Oh god Alice this is a lot." I look through all the lists and things she has. "Bella likes vanilla and do roses they're pretty."

"Okay perfect, she's gonna love it."

"Oh I'm sure she will." I say. "After she argues about it not happening for the whole time."

"That why it's a surprise." I shake my head at her and watch as Emmett and Jasper come into the kitchen. "And I got her this dress."

"This is gonna be a disaster." I say. "Please record all of it for me." I say to Jasper.

"Will do ma'am."

"You should wear a cowboy hat, like just all the time." Emmett laughs. "I'm so serious it's not like he doesn't wear cowboy boots already."

"That is true." Jasper says.

"No cowboy hats. And don't encourage that Celeste."

"Come on Alice it'd be funny." I tell her. "Tell her cowboy."

"No, we're party planning right now." Alice says shushing us. "Now, help me pick out a necklace from Rosalie for her."

"Rosalie just pick one." I mutter and I hear a no from somewhere in the house. "Bitch."

"Fuck you too." She calls back and I laugh.

"Anyway help I've seen that she likes both but pick one."

"The silver one, Bella doesn't wear gold." I tell her.

"Perfect." She puts everything back in the binder and gets up. "It's time to clean your tattoo."

"Right you are Alice." I stand up. "I'll be in the car for the next 10 minutes."

"Why not just do it here." Emmett says.

"Because there's blood and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable." Duh.

"You're blood is unappealing." Jasper says like that's a normal sentence.

"I feel like I should be offended." I mutter to myself and the three laugh. "Wait are you telling me Jeffrey Dahmer was right?"

"What the fuck Celeste?" Emmett asks.

"He said that people with tattoos don't taste good, that he thinks the ink ruins their taste."

"Yes I think he was right." Jasper said. "You smell much more unappealing now then when you had few tattoos."

"Awesome."

"Strange strange girl." Calvin says as he enters the kitchen.

"Shut up Calvin." I say and rub the water onto my tattoo.

"Ouch that hurt." He says. "Right here in my non beating heart." I ignore him and continue with my tattoo.

"So besides a giant cake what's happening at the party?" I ask Alice.

"Presents and pictures."

"Oh real fun." She smacked me with the binder and then flounced away. "Too much sarcasm?" The three men nod. "Oh well."

"That looks disgusting." Calvin says as I peel the wrap off my tattoo.

"Like your face?"

"Careful he's sensitive." Jasper says smirking. "You might make him cry."

"Crying seems to be more Evangaline's thing." I tell Jasper. "He's a whiny baby."

"Don't bully Edward Cel." Emmett says. "He'll brood in a tree for days."

"If it keeps him out my house them good." I look up at Emmett. "Honestly he's there more than I am."

"That's because you spend your time here or at the shop." Emmett says.

"That's cause Edwin ruins the vibes of my house. Even my dad notices it." I get up to throw my trash out and wash my dish. "Honestly I'm pretty sure he's the reason my orchid died."

"How would that even be his fault?"

"I don't know magic." I go back and sit on Emmett's lap. "It's not completely insane to think about."

"Maybe not." Emmett said as he leaned his head on my shoulder. "So since you're not going to be here for your birthday, do you want your gift now or later?"

"No gifts." I whine. "Especially since you won't even tell me your birthday."

"I'm immortal."

"Irrelevant." I look over to Jasper. "On a scale of one to Alice how extravagant is the gift."

"I'd give it about a 7 and a half." I groan. "To be fair it's from the three of us." He gestures to himself and Calvin.

"Okay now please." I jump off of Emmett's lap. They laugh and lead me through the house to the garage. "No fucking way."

"Language." I flip Calvin off.

"This is amazing." I say walking over to the car frame.

"Yea it's a." I cut Emmett off, because holy shut.

"A 1979 Chevrolet Camaro." I turn to the three to see them grinning. "Thank you." I walk over to them and give them hugs.

"You're welcome ma'am." Jasper says.

"To be fair I deserve the most thanks, it was my idea." Calvin says. "Go ahead praise me like the god I am."

"Actually it was my idea." Jasper says. "Don't listen to him." Calvin smacks Jasper arm which Jasper returns and suddenly they're wrestling on the floor.

"Thank you." I say to Emmett and lean back against his chest.

"You're welcome." He kisses my head. "Come on let's get you home."

"But Emerald." I say reaching to the Camaro.

"Did you already name the car?" I nod and he laughs. "Don't worry, she'll be here tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye losers." I say to Calvin and Jasper who are still fighting. I get a salute from Jasper. What a cowboy.
