Summary: Emmett believes he can beat a newborn Bella at any contest, or at least one of his own making. This one is very silly. I blame sleep deprivation. ;D
George of the Jungle
This contest had been going on for hours now. The rest of the Cullens had tired of their antics but it didn't matter if there was an audience. At least, it didn't matter to Bella.
“Edward will know who won by just a small peak in your head, Emmett, so no cheating.”
Emmett snickered and put his arm around his newly changed sister.
“I wouldn't dream of it, pint size.”
Bella smirked.
So far she had bested him at arm wrestling, boulder throwing, running with and without hurtles, and pole vaulting. Emmett pouted each time she won but then his features would change in an instant as a new contest popped into his head.
He really was like an overgrown toddler.
Now, he'd decided to take their race vertical. He'd designed an obstacle course consisting of tree climbing and rope swinging. He called it the “Tarzan Course.” After he finished hanging and testing the ropes, he came back to where should stood looking triumphant.
“I can't lose this time. I made the course and I know I'm more agile than you.”
Bella just grinned wider. She couldn't wait to show her 'big bro' up after that comment. Lord knew he picked on her enough for her two left feet when she was human. No way she was going down without a fight now.
“Lead the way, George.”
Emmett gave her a confused look before shaking his head and pointing out the steps of the course.
“First, you climb the tree closest to you.”
“As opposed to the one furthest away?” Bella asked, giggling.
Emmett rolled his eyes and huffed. “Then, you swing on that rope to the tree just ahead of it. You swing from tree to tree, a total of ten trees, before turning back and doing it all in reverse.”
“Swing backwards? That will take some skill.” Bella nodded sagely, hiding her smile behind her hand.
Emmett crossed his arms and frowned. “Ha ha. First one back here wins.”
“And last one is a rotten egg?” she added, laughing loudly.
Emmett threw his hands in the air. “You're just a riot. Are you ready?”
Bella nodded, all silliness aside, this sounded pretty fun. “Jane, ready.”
Emmett smiled back. “Set.”
Bella put her lead foot in front of her, bouncing on her back foot in excitement.
“Go!”
They were off in a blur. They made it half way across before a large crash echoed through the forest, shaking the ground beneath them. The entire Cullen clan rushed outside to see what in the world the two competitors could have done to each other now.
Edward was the first to spot them and he actually fell to the ground laughing.
“What? What happened?” Rose asked impatiently, searching the forest floor for signs of her mate and Bella.
Finally, three minutes later that felt like an eternity to the waiting party, the two emerged from the brush, Bella laughing and picking leaves from a scowling Emmett's shirt and hair.
“I take it Emmett lost again?” Jasper asked with a shake of his head. He felt the embarrassment and annoyance rolling off his brother in waves, just as he felt Bella's dry amusement.
“It seems Emmett overestimated the strength of the fourth tree in his set.” Alice answered when the two finally met them in the yard.
Emmett pouted some more and Bella couldn't resist giving him a crushing, sisterly hug.
“Yup. George go boom.” she confirmed, sending the whole group into a fit of laughter.
