A/N: This is a bit of a departure from my usual style, but I thought it would be good to flex my writing muscles as it were by trying something slightly different. This idea came to me as I was walking up to campus this morning and i just HAD to write it down! So I hope you enjoy it!

It's a Dog Eat Dog World

"Bells, why are you laughing? I've just told you that I turn into a big hairy wolf every time I lose control and you're laughing? How can that possibly be funny?"

Bella held her sides as tears streamed down her face, her chest heaving with convulsions. She looked at Jake and shook her head, gasping for air.

Jacob felt extremely frustrated. It was not that he didn't have a sense of humour, but for the life of him he just couldn't see the funny side of this situation.

"Dammit, Bells," he burst out, exasperated, "WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? TELL ME, OR SO HELP ME I'LL…" He'd what? Shake some sense into her? If he did that, all her teeth would fall out and she'd end up with a skull fracture. See? This was flipping serious.

He glared at her, willing her to pull herself together and tell him what was so hilarious that she had been virtually rolling around on the floor for the last ten minutes.

Finally, she managed to calm herself down enough to speak. "Come on, Jake," she gasped, "you have to see the humour in this. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like dogs and all. But….."

"But what?" he yelled, "but what?!" Great. Just great. She was going to tell him that he was a freak of nature and she didn't want to hang out with him anymore. Just peachy. Flippin' hilarious.

"But. Well. Oh, Jake, don't look so serious. It's just that I guess I've always been more of a cat person!"

A/N: Please review and tell me what you think! (and whether you're a dog or cat person - he he!)
