A/N: Hey everyone!!! I'm so sorry for not updating! I haven't had internet for quite a while . . . and updating the chapters on my BlackBerry can get a bit frustrating! But I'm sorry!! I did get some good news today, so I was completely in the mood to get right online when my internet was back up. I just found out that I was accepted into an exclusive Twilight Fanfiction site called Ramblings and Thoughts! I'm totally happy now . . . I have had a really crappy week so this totally made my day! Anyways, on to the chapter.

Bella POV:

Alice whispered an unfamiliar name into my ear. She pulled away, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. I stared at her for a moment, completely confused. "Who is that?"

"I found the movie on the Family Channel. When I saw this character, I knew immediately who I wanted Edward to dress up as for Halloween."

"Which movie?"

She ignored me and continued on. "I was able to bribe the director to let me have the costume he actually wore in the movie. I was very lucky to get it; they were about to bring it to Planet Hollywood in Orlando to put it in one of the display cases." She started talking about something about a late shipping and her words began to blend together as they sped up. The only name I caught was Robert Pattinson, but he was only the actor who played the character. I felt like my head was spinning in circles as I tried my best to keep up with her.

I interrupted her explanation about how she had bribed the director with 55 dollars and a pair of rare Jimmy Chu stilettos. "Alice, I still don't know who you're talking about."

Her jaw seemed to drop to the floor. "Seriously, Bella. You don't get out enough." She skipped into her closet and I heard her rummaging through her belongings. When she reappeared, I noticed a movie poster in her hand. She raised the poster above her head to show the whole thing off . . . the rectangle of shiny, polished paper was about twice the size she was.

My eyes skimmed over the character on the poster. I was shocked by the very close resemblance between this fictional person and Edward. It was almost creepy . . . Edward could have played this person in the movie and no one would have noticed a difference. "Wow, Alice," I mumbled. "There is a shocking resemblance, but I was hoping it would be more . . ." I broke off mid-sentence. I didn't really know what I was hoping for. But this fictional character with the honey blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and the yellow and black uniform didn't seem important or romantic enough. Not to mention I didn't even know who the hell he was.

Alice poked her head around the poster, glancing at the character on the front. "Are you questioning my decision for my own brother's costume?"

"No," I answered quickly, panicking that she may stick me in that humiliating Porky Pig costume. "I'm just saying that I was expecting something more than this Cedric Diggory guy."

"Well I don't see anything wrong with the costume," she snapped, rolling the poster back up into a tight roll.

"Wait, consider this," I replied hurriedly, grasping at straws here. "Think about it this way. You're giving yourself an easy job by changing Edward into a character that he already looks like. Why not constitute more of a challenge for yourself?"

I let out a huge gust of breath I didn't know I had been holding as soon as Alice changed her offended expression into a look that was more promising. "I see your point. Good idea, Bella! I knew you would make yourself useful at some point!" She disappeared behind the doors of her closet once more.

"Thanks . . . I think," I muttered, not quite sure whether that was meant to be an insult or just an annoying crack at my lack of enthusiasm throughout the day.

"You're going to need to strip out of those clothes," Alice called to me, her voice muffled. "They aren't Shakespearean enough."

I did as I was told, not exactly wanting to know what she had come up with this time. I tried to pull my blouse over my head without smearing any of my make-up. It was definitely a challenge until Alice saw me struggling. She yanked the blouse over my head with one quick movement, throwing it across the room. It was replaced with something hard and tight. Very tight.

I coughed. I felt like my lungs were on fire. "Alice," I choked. "What are you doing?"

"You'll see in a minute!" she snapped.

I groaned, struggling to catch my breath in this contraption. I looked down at it. It was white, but made out of what felt like plaster covered in silk. There were faint, ivory-colored designs running along the tight fabric. I coughed again. "Ugh, it hurts! What on earth are you doing to me?" There was a knock on the door. I nearly jumped out of my skin and winced when the movement nearly crushed my ribs into dust. Alice remained calm behind me as she tied this stupid thing around my torso.

"Is everything all right in there?" It was Edward.

"Yes, of course, Edward!" Alice called back. "The transformation is nearly complete!" I heard her snicker at her choice of words.

Then, she pulled hard on some string that had laced this thing so tightly around my chest. "Ow!" I shrieked. "Easy, Alice. Unlike you, I'm not indestructable."

"What are you doing to her?" He sounded furious.

"I didn't bite her or anything if that's what your asking."

"Well I would sure as hell hope not," he muttered angrily.

"I'm almost done." I wasn't sure whether Alice was talking to me or Edward, but either way I was thrilled that she was almost finished torturing me. I felt a few more quick tugs against my chest, and then, to my extreme relief, the pain was gone. All that was left was extreme pressure. Breathing isn't that big of a deal, I thought bitterly.

I looked down at my chest. Those had not been there five minutes ago, I thought with extreme shock. "It's a corset," Alice said matter-of-factly. "If I'm going to dress you two up as Romeo and Juliet, then I needed to do it right."

A/N: Sorry for the quick chapter! Review and tell me what you thought of it!
