A Girl's Best Friend

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight characters because God did not see fit for me to dream about a creepy and obsessed driven vampire with a strong attraction to an equally pale highly uncoordinated girl who will get wrapped up in a love triangle with hot, sexy Quileute boy who can transform into a giant wolf. But, eh, the Lord works in mysterious ways. All I'M ASKING IS SOMETHING SO I DON'T HAVE TO SIT HERE AT WORK TYPING AND PRETENDING LIKE I CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Forgive me Lord but some of these people can go screw themselves. Phew, wow…maybe I shouldn't do disclaimers on rainy afternoons while waiting for my lunchtime.

They say that 'a man's best friend is his dog'. While 'diamonds are a girl's best friend'. This girl's best friend is I guess a combination of the two; Leah Clearwater is my best friend. Not only does she have the ability to transform into a giant dog but she also shares my love for diamonds. Leah possesses the capability to transform into a giant wolf at will or rather whenever someone, mainly my idiotic and immature husband or her equally, if not more so, idiotic, immature, arrogant Alpha, annoy her enough. Yes, I, Rosalie Cullen, have a shape-shifter for a best friend and no, no I was not forced to like her. Unlike some of the other people in my life I actually love Leah Clearwater for who she and not just because she's 'family'.

Initially, we didn't even acknowledge one another's presence but I happened to overhear the 'mutt', her Alpha, mention that she respected me and totally understood where I was coming from when Bella was pregnant with my beautiful niece, Renesmee. After hearing that interesting tidbit of information I decided to approach the bitch and ask her about it. She was very hesitant to speak with me and I'll admit that we were both very put off by the other's, er, aroma, if you will. But she agreed to sit with me and I learned that we had more in common then I initially thought possible. She, much like myself, was very popular and considered beautiful (the boys words not her own) before being forced into this supernatural world we live in. She was betrayed and hurt by someone she thought would love her which does explains the animosity she used to exhibit towards the other Alpha male, the good-for-nothing, two-timing, worthless, egotistical bastard, Sam Uley. And that men are nothing but 'sex-obsessed, hormone driven jack-offs who would suck their own dicks to avoid developing a relationship if they could do so comfortably for hours on end' - end quote courtesy of Leah.

She's clever, witty, sarcastic, cynical, loyal, a realist, confident, strong, beautiful and best of all normal. Well normal in the sense that I've never met another female shape-shifter and she seems to find the whole Edward-Bella relationship to be 'just too fucked up for words'. Unlike the other women in my life I can openly talk to Leah without being scolded, being too predictive or having to watch my tone because she's super sensitive and Edward wouldn't want her upset. Esme scolds me when I try to use vulgar language while Alice already knows the questions, comments or ideas I'm going to share with her before I even begin. What about Bella, you ask? What about her? I care nothing for her and since she has proven that Edward isn't gay there's not much else that needs to be said. Leah allows me to be 'me' and I do not feel a need to always be perfect, prim and proper around her.

She's a naturally born free spirit and I admire her for that. Leah has often snidely or grumbled out how beautiful she thinks I am but in all reality I believe that she is the truly beautiful one. I've seen old pictures of her before that Sam mongrel imprinted and even before they started dating. She just had this sparkle in her eyes and such a wonderful smile that just left me, and yes it is clichéd, breathless. She just has this natural beauty about her from the way she holds her head high with grace and confidence to just the sultry way she walks in heels. Yes, I've seen her walk in stiletto heels and I was completely floored.

Alice had just bought Bella a whole series of dresses and was trying to get her to walk in the heels, however, for some strange reason it was becoming a challenge for the newborn. To both the surprise of Alice and myself while the sheer hilarity of Leah we witnessed Bella fall flat on her face. I never thought I would live to see the day when a vampire would not be graceful. Leah literally fell off the couch in tears laughing as Bella groaned while picking herself up. Leah laughed so much that it was contagious and I too shared in the laugh. Bella feeling completely embarrassed demanded that Leah stop laughing and either 'put up or shut up'. Poor Bella's first mistake was challenging Leah and her second was interrupting her game of Guitar Hero. How Emmett talked her into joining his childish, imaginary band I will never know.

Leah hearing the challenge got up and grabbed a pair of stilettos and walked gracefully across the room without any sign of discomfort or struggle. Her walk was flawless and to add insult to injury Leah proceeded to dance in said heels. Leah certainly knows how to put a person in their place because after that Bella insisted on throwing a tantrum about how demoralizing and anti-feminist heels were since the only purpose to wearing them is to attract mate and she continued on rambling about how she had no need for that since she had her precious Edward. To wit Leah responded back with, "Translation: you can't do it because it's just too hard for Princess Isabella. I'm sure Edward will teach you how to walk in heels because he's just so perfect at," and here she clasped her hands together, batted her eyelashes and sighed dreamily "everything." And that, that, that is WHY I love Leah Clearwater. She outside of the mutt see that Edward is not perfect and is more of an annoyance than anything.

We were one and the same and yet total opposites at the same time. She was fire and I was ice. For Halloween Alice dressed us up at our respective element and I have to admit we looked pretty damn hot. From there every Halloween, for five years, we dressed complementing the other. That is how our relationship was and I had hoped it would stay like that forever. It seemed a given that the mutt would follow us wherever we went and I had hoped that she would come along too. Finally escape from the small town life on the Rez, get away from the pain of her heartbreak, and see the world. However, it would seem that it wasn't meant to be. She found love in the least likely of places and I know that we were all surprised by this bold declaration. I tried to convince her that was nothing more than just a simple crush, puppy love, a simple infatuation...but deep down inside I knew that it was more.

In the beginning of their relationship I hated him for 'coming between us' as I told him on multiple occasions. This, of course, led to some very crude remarks from him and my husband about some stupid male created lesbian fantasy the two had developed. But, he didn't change her. Over the years she had found a way to heal her own wounds by making friends, making amends and just trying to live life to the fullest. Although I still think that he had some kind of hand in the gradual change…at least that's what Eddie hints at. But Leah is my friend and I will do anything for her as I know she will do anything for me.

Leah Clearwater is clever, witty, sarcastic, cynical, loyal, a realist, confident, strong, beautiful and best of all she's my very best friend.

A/N: Well there goes Rosalie's. It was actually kind of hard to write this because I didn't want to get too lovey-dovey since that doesn't seem to be part of Rose's character. But during Breaking Dawn I just had a feeling that Leah and Rosalie would just get along so well. Both would just have to get over their base instinct to kill one another but I'm sure that if Edward and Jacob could do so can they. Well as usual read and review.

Man, the Blackwater fans are always out in full force. I thought I might lure a Callwater fan but, nah, they're avoiding this like the plague.

But thanks for taking time and voting. Jacob is NUMBAH 1!! And he was actually number 1 in the poll too. ^-^ But with the response and the excitement I guess I'll save Jacob for last even though I already have half of his chapter already typed up. But Edward is next placing 3rd. So keep the votes coming.
