A/N: Okay, so I'm breaking my own rule of not posting until I get 10 reviews for each chapter, so sue me. I really wanted to get this one up. Also, just so everyone knows, in the original (not the Disney) version, the three way (in order) in this chapter are how the Evil Queen tried to kill Snow White. No, it wan't just the apple, people! Read and review? Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Take My Breath Away

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"So? Deal with it."

"But it feels like you're crushing my ribs!"

"You're ribs are fine."

"Could you loosen this thing just a lit- Ouch!"

"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." Rosalie shot back, tightening the laces on Bella's corset even more, making the girl before her jolt and begin choking.

"Rosalie!" A familiar voice shrieked as the door o Rosalie's room slammed open.

"What is it, Alice? I'm kind of busy here." Rosalie stated, continuing to lace up Bella's corset.

"If you keep tightening that thing you're going to kill her!" The tiny vampire yelled, running over to rescue her friend.

"No, I'm not."

"She's only human. Don't treat her like a doll."

"Whatever." Rosalie scoffed, dropping the laces she had in her long fingers and stomped over to her bed where she flopped back onto her pillows.

"Seriously, Rose. Are you trying to break Edward's heart?" Alice questioned as she loosened the lace, allowing Bella to stop gasping for air. "First you tell him that the love of his life has jumped off of a cliff and is dead, and now you've tried to cut off her circulation with a corset."

"It wasn't me who suggested that she go as Snow White to Newton's stupid costume party!"

"Perhaps not, but I trusted you to get her ready while I put Edward's costume together. What's next? Are you going to try to stab her head with a poison comb, or will you go with the apple approach?"

"Alice, I didn't mean to hurt her!" Rosalie shrieked, before she bolted out of the room.

After she left, Bella piped up, "Alice? I really don't think she was trying to hurt me."

"Of course she wasn't Bella," Alice giggled. "I just like to rile her up sometimes is all."

"Alice, you truly are evil." Bella chuckled.

Her eyes glittering, Alice replied "Give me the title of 'queen' and I'll be satisfied."
