WRITING ECLIPSE: Edward and Alice Plan A Graduation Party

“Alice, are you going to pick through CDs all day? Do you really think people will be paying attention to the music?” Edward asked.

“I'm going to make them,” Alice said. “Jasper is 'borrowing' a PA system as we speak.”
Edward sighed and went back to cutting sections of scotch tape.
“I feel a certain responsibility to these people, Edward.” Alice said. “This party is my last shot. I like to make a good final impression.”
“People are just going to want to dance. Don't overthink it.”
“Be happy I'm not playing the song I recorded with Jasper. That's real music.”
“Alice, you just screamed in Latin while 'California Gurls' played in reverse. That hardly qualifies as music.”
“Because I used 'California Gurls'?” Alice joked.
Edward laughed, even though he kind of liked that song. And now it was stuck in his head. Perfect. He looked around, already frustrated. “I had some red crepe paper earlier. Where did you put it?”
“Oh, I used it for the orgy room.” Alice said nonchalantly.
“The orgy room?” Edward stared at her in disbelief. “Where is the orgy room?”
“My room, naturally.”
“And, er... why do we need an orgy room?”
“I've already got the masks and whips and condoms laid out, you don't need to worry about it at all.”
“I'm not concerned with the logistics, Alice,” Edward hissed. He paused and tried to contain his temper. He had certainly known his sister would have some strange ideas for this party. Really, he knew he should count his blessings that she'd been thoughtful enough to restrict potential orgies to one room. “I don't think an orgy room would be appropriate for this occasion.”
"No fair." Alice pouted.
“I'm not saying you can't independently organize a...spontaneous orgy,” Edward sighed. “I just don't want it to be a part of the party's infrastructure. Can you leave that for the night of?”
Alice paused, staring far away for a moment. “Yes, that will work.” She licked her lips unconsciously.
Edward tried to block the deluge of images and ideas coming from his sister's brain. Alice shivered delicately and went back to work.

For a while they toiled silently. There was no need for Edward to check with Alice regarding any of his decorative decisions – she'd already pre-approved them weeks ago. Edward smiled to himself. He'd forgotten how much fun it was to pass the hours with his sister. Before Bella had come along they'd spent more time together, and as much as Edward missed it he also had to admit they'd been running out of activities. They used to go to comedy clubs, but eventually got banned from most of the local ones thanks to Alice's bad habit of laughing uproariously before the comedian could get to the punch line. They used to go to the movies once a week, but Alice would always lean over and ask Edward for clarification on plot twists that hadn't happened yet. It was more than a little irritating. Maybe it was good that Bella had come along and changed his world.

“How much cocaine do we need?” Alice asked, snapping Edward out of his reverie.
“Cocaine, Alice?”
“I've got plenty of weed, some X, and even some crystal meth if anyone wants some, but I'm not sure how much cocaine to buy,” she said.
“None!” Edward snapped angrily.
“Oh,” Alice looked hurt and confused. “You think this crowd would prefer crack?”
