*A/N- Hello, people! This is my first ever fanfic and I hope I did well enough for you all. This is a one-shot about Bella and Rosalie talking and bonding. It starts on page 535 of New Moon, but I changed it a bit.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. Hellooo, this is fan fiction!

As I glanced around the room, I noticed that Rosalie was still staring down at the table. I couldn't read her expression, but I knew she was upset. Maybe even a little guilty.

After staring at her for a few seconds, I couldn't bear it anymore. I had to talk to her. Despite the nervousness and intimidation I felt whenever I was around her, I knew I had to make things right between us. Or at least try to.

"Rosalie, can I talk to you for a minute?" I called softly.

She glanced up at me, startled. She slowly nodded and walked to where I was standing. I led her upstairs so that we could have some privacy. Or at least feel like we had more privacy, because we both knew that everyone could still hear us. I took a deep breath and began.

"Rosalie, I'm not angry at you because you voted not to change me."

"You're not?" she asked doubtfully.

I shook my head. "I respect your decision. This isn't the life you would choose for someone else and I respect that. Besides, I put it up to a vote. I was expecting at least one or two other nos."

"Bella…I'm sorry. You're treating me so nicely when I've only been to cruel to you in the past," Rosalie said sadly.

"The past is the past," I tried to assure her. She shook her head fiercely and spoke again.

"That doesn't make it right. I hated you for petty reasons. I admit that I was jealous at first. I didn't like Edward, but, as you already know, I was so used to people wanting me. The jealousy quickly faded and I realized that it was fear. I didn't want change; I wasn't used to it. Having you hear would have changed things so I guess my mind kept making up excuses to hate you. I don't hate you anymore. I've grown to like you, although I certainly haven't been showing it. I hid my fear by being spiteful and I apologize. Can you forgive me Bella?"

I was surprised, but touched. "Rosalie, it's rational to be afraid of change. Many of us are. I accept your apology."

She smiled slightly.

"And I meant what I said downstairs," I began. "I consider you family, too. You were always like a sister to me. A distant one, but I think now that we've talked we get closer in time."

She grinned widely and replied, "I think so, too. So…we're friends now?"

I smiled and said, "Of course, Rosalie."

She beamed in response and said, "You can call me Rose, dear sister of mine."

We both giggled and I stood up. I held out my arm and she grinned as she linked her arm through mine. We walked down the staircase. Her expression made it obvious that she was happier. She seemed more at ease.

I was happy, too. We weren't exactly the closest of sisters yet but we were close. It was like we had just taken a huge step in the right direction.

When we reached the living room we found the rest of the Cullen family standing there. They had obviously heard everything and were waiting for us. Esme was smiling at us, her eyes filled with joyful tears that would never fall. Carlisle had his arm around her shoulder and looked at us, his eyes filled with paternal love and pride. Alice was ecstatic and was practically bouncing in place. Jasper was trying to calm her but couldn't help but to smile at us as well. Emmett was staring at Rosalie with a mixture of love and pride. Edward was grinning crookedly, happy that Rosalie and I were finally on good terms.

Rosalie and I released each other with one last smile and returned to our men. Edward kissed me softly yet passionately. I returned it with just as much passion. He gently pulled away, leaving me dizzy and breathless. I turned around to face the others and Edward kept his arms around me. Rosalie and Emmett finally finished their make-out session when Emmett turned to me and gave his loud, booming laugh.

"One small step for Rose and Bella," he announced loudly with a wink in my direction. "One giant step for Cullen-kind!"

We all laughed together. In a way, he was right. We were even closer as a family.
