Pure, mindless rubbish - this is just a little scene I imagined when Alice is trying to get a photo of Bella, and Bella reaaalllyy doesn't want it :) There's no meaning to it, I just thought it was enjoyable :) It worked well in my head ;)

Read on, my brave warriors!
"Bella, hold still!" Alice pushed me back against the wall again and attempted to bring her camera up to eye level whilst I wrestled her off, doing anything I could to stop the lens getting a clear shot at me.
"Alice, stop it!"
"Bella!"
"Alice!"
I was stronger than her, only a month or so newborn, so I was able to push her off without much difficulty; she just pounced back on me. "Why...won't...you...just...stay still! It's only a photograph!"
"I don't want a photograph!"
She sighed exasperatedly as she tried to snap a picture of me again; I ran out through the space under her arm, zipping up the stairs as she chased after me. "Bella Swan, come back here!" she cried out, still holding the camera at arm's length in front of her, "Stop being so ridiculous, it's just a photo!"
"That's not my name!" I called back, halfway up the second flight of stairs in a flash, "And vampires don't even show up in photos anyway!"
"Vampires so show up in photos, and if you don't stop right now, Mrs Edward Cullen, so help me..."
"What's going on out here?" I skidded to a halt as Edward opened our bedroom door; he crossed his arms. "Why am I hearing Alice screaming at you, Mrs Edward Cullen? I'll admit, it sounds nice, but..." he grinned crookedly, not finishing his sentence as Alice came tumbling down the corridor.
"Ah-ha!" The camera flashed right in my eyes as she popped up between us, "Gotcha!"
"Alice!" I moaned, "Stop it!"
"You stop it!" she retorted, "All I want is a picture that I can put with the family portraits!" She pressed a button, then sighed, physically wilting, "Darn, you're moving." She was silent for a second, contemplating the little camera screen, then she put it back up and yelled, "Hold still!"
I shrieked and hid behind Edward, sending him forward a step – I was still unused to actually being able to move him – in my bid to avoid Alice and her flash. "Don't let her take it!" I begged him, "I look horrible in photos!"
Edward sighed, "Alice, would you leave my wife alone, please? She obviously doesn't want her picture taken, and forcing her to do it is just going to enrage her."
"Oh, come on, Edward," Alice huffed, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at me, peeking out from under his arm, "She's just being ridiculous!"
"No I'm not!"
"Alice," Edward held out his hand, a warning in his voice, "Give me the camera. Let's just get this over with, alright?"
I was surprised to see that Alice handed it straight over without complaint – she smiled angelically as I straightened up, moving out from behind Edward and sighing. "Right," I said, "Now that's over with, I'm going back downstairs to finish my book."
"Bella?" Edward said from behind me; I turned round.
"Yes?"
Click.
"Gotcha."
"Edward!"
Edward is one naughty boy ;)
