Yui looked down at the bottle of club soda she was holding, very confused for a moment until she realized that this was not the drink she got for herself and that her cousin must have gotten what she bought.

"Oh no! I hope they're smart enough to know what it smells like and not to drink it. But then again, it ought to be only enough to let them relax, not get them sick." Yui grinned while raising her arm. "Off to buy more drinks!"

It was a dark and stormy cliché. The wind whooshed outside. Whoosh.

Actually it was a warm summer's evening. Konata was having a small party at her house. Her father was out of town for the weekend, or rather forced out of town by Konata for the specific reason of having all of her friends over. Somehow inviting a dozen of her girlfriends over with her dad around didn't give her a safe feeling.

"Ohayo!" Konata smiled, opening the door as her friend's showed up. Konata invited her classmates Miyuki and Tsukasa, as well as Kagami and her classmates Misao and Ayano. Yutaka also invited her friend Minami, as well as Hiyori and Patricia.

"I see she invited everyone." Kagami smiled.

"It's nice that everyone could come out, isn't it Kagami-san?" Miyuki asked, donning a smile.

"Yeah, it's nice to do these sort of things every once in a while." Kagami and Miyuki being a little more, let's say future-oriented than her otaku friend, went upstairs to put away their bags as they anticipated possibly staying the night.

Konata looked over at a picture frame with a small lens in it, donning a serious expression and mouthing the words 'you owe me.' She returned to her smile and looked around at everyone having fun before standing up. "Attention soldiers! Ten hut!"

"Huh?" The girls mumbled, confused.

"It's time for the main event. Everyone in the family room for the age old tradition!"

"What tradition would that be?" Tsukasa innocently asked.

"Spin the bottle!" Patricia spit out her drink and coughed. The other girls gave her a funny look as she tried to hide her smile under a phony look of confusion.

"What's wrong Patty-chan?" Asked Hiyori.

"N-nothing." Patty sat there doing her best to avoid the huge smile hiding just under the surface. "Okay, first everyone has to drink from the bottle." Patty stated clearly, doing her best to hide her grin under a seemingly clueless smile. Nice job, Konata. You're truly the pride of American culture!

"That stuff was terrible, where did you get that?" Tsukasa asked.

"I found it in the pantry."

"I think it spoiled."

"Yui says it's suppose to taste like that."

"Isn't Yui the one always drinking…"

"Attention everyone! 1 minute warning! Where's twin-tails and the brain?" Konata looked around to tally up everyone, walking around the house before bumping into Hiyori. "Oh sorry, just looking for everyone."

"Ah, sorry I bumped into you Konata-senpai. And thank's for being our host."

"No problem. And who knows, maybe tonight will prove a bountiful harvest for your works."

"Ah, yeah that would be great." Hiyori said, scratching her head and blushing. "Makes me wonder what you were planning."

"Patience young padawan. I'm just about ready. Now I need to find beauty and the bust."

As the girls chatted away, Kagami and Miyuki were still upstairs. The two ended up talking about day-to-day things, such as schoolwork and other weird and interesting things.

"Yeah it did stink" Kagami smiled at Miyuki, giggling.

"Ah yes and I've never seen one that color and with such an echo before." The two continued chatting for a while, discussing their plans for golden week. They talked for quite a while before hearing a bellowing from the other room.

"Kagamiiiii! Come here!" Konata yelled.

"Come on Miyuki, let's go before she gets any louder." The two walked downstairs to hear the girl yell again.

"Kagamin and Yuki-chan!"

"What do you want, runt?" Kagami and Miyuki walked around the corner into the room, all of the other girls sitting down in a circle.

"Its time for that good ol' American sleepover game, Spin the Bottle!"

"What are you talking about Konata?"

"Okay. We spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on has to play truth or dare. I'm pretty sure that's how it's played." Konata said, scratching her head.

"Yep." Patricia sat there, smirking, not saying a word. Ayano and Misao looked at Patricia questioningly. Before Kagami could protest, her twin interrupted her.

"Come on onee-chan, it sounds like fun!"

"Tsukasa, can't you see this is some sort of trap?" Kagami whispered.

"Kagamin! What's taking so long? Lets play!"

"Ugh, fine. If it'll shut you up."

"Yay!"

"So how do we play this game again?"

"Well you say 'truth or dare' to a person you choose. They answer either truth or dare. If they say truth, you get to ask them any question you want and they have to tell the truth. If they say dare, you ask them to do anything and they have to say yes."

"Anything?"

"Yep."

"I don't know."

"Come on Kagamin, give it a try!"

"Alright fine. But I'm warning you" Kagami said, shaking a fist at the blue haired otaku.

"Relax, Kagamin. I'll start." Konata spun the bottle and it pointed at Miyuki. "Yuki-chan, truth or dare?"

"Oh, um, I suppose I'll start out with…truth."

"Okay. Miyuki, what cup size are your boobs?"

"Konata!" Kagami shouted.

"Ah, um." Miyuki shrunk in visibly. "I, I have to answer?" She looked at Konata who just nodded. "Uhm, 30DD"

"Wow."

"Damn."

"Lucky." As Hiyori and Yutaka looked astonished, the trio of Minami, Tsukasa and Misao looked down almost simultaneously. Patricia on the other hand whispered at Miyuki.

"Psst."

"Ah?" Miyuki looked at Patricia next to her. The American whispered.

"Miyuki-senpai, good-job!" As she smiled with a wink, donning a thumbs up. Konata saw and giggled. She turned her attention to Miyuki and cleared her throat.

"I'm going to need proof." The otaku said with a grin. *Thump*

"Stop being so awful, Konata!" Kagami said after a bump to the bluenette's head. The tsundere sat with her arms folded, looking away, her eyes landing on Minami, looking downward with a sigh.

"I think she's right" Misao said donning a fang. She heard the sound of a mechanical pencil click to her left. Konata rubbed her head and spoke.

"Such a beast… Anyway, Yuki-chan, now you get to ask someone truth or dare."

"Alright. Hmm." As Miyuki looked off into space, Kagami glared at Konata.

Kagami mumbled under her breath at the girl. "Why do I get the feeling like you and Patty planned all of this?" Konata only grinned back. Kagami looked at the bottle pointed at her sister.

"Um, Tsukasa-san?"

"Yeah Yuki-chan?"

"Truth or dare?"

"Ummm….dare!"

"I dare you to do ten jumping jacks while counting to ten in French."

"Yuki chan I can't count to ten in French."

"Oh. Well then ten jumping jacks will be fine."

"Alright!" Tsukasa stood up and began to count as she did her jumping jacks. As she bounced up and down, the bottom of her shirt rose up a little each time, baring her midriff, and Hiyori pulled out her sketch pad immediately and began drawing characters and writing ideas. "And ten!"

"Congradulations Tsukasa-san."

"Thanks Yuki-chan!" Tsukasa sat down smiling bashfully at everyone looking at her.

"Well played, Tsukasa. Now it's your turn. Spin the bottle and you choose."

"Mmm!" The game continued on for quite a while, the girls gradually relaxing more and more. After a few rounds, it was now Kagami's turn and she aimed at Konata. She already knew what Konata was going to choose and what she would say.

"Well, Konata, what's your cup size?" Kagami said with a very successful smirk.

"Ouch, well played Kagami." Konata replied quietly. "I don't have one. I don't even have to wear a bra. See?" Konata pulled her shirt up exposing her chest.

"Onee-chan!" Yutaka yelped.

"Konata! Stop that!" Kagami yelled. "You are so shameless!"

"Hey there's nothing to show so its legal." She smiled. "Probably. You underage kiddies better not tell anyone that I exposed myself to minors" Konata stated with a grin.

"Stupid otaku" Kagami grumbled, looking at the girl with her arms folded. Konata grabbed the bottle and spun, and of course it landed right back on Kagami.

Konata looked with a blank expression, hiding her inner excitement in. "Kagami, truth or dare." Kagami smirked. Ah, Konata's gonna try to give me hell. Well she's not finding out my bra size.

"Dare!" Kagami smiled with a sense of victory. Konata's face faltered to a frown for a moment. Yes! Got the twerp! But then Konata's face formed a very slight smile as Konata felt giddy inside. Uh, oh. Konata looked around the room, with her hand under her chin, contemplating deep in thought. Kagami started to get very worried, and clasped her hands in front of her chest.

"I dare you to kiss someone in this room." Kagami's expression dropped and she turned red.

"WHAT?!"

"Come on Kagami, you're a team player here and we all did our truth or dares, right? So go ahead. Who's it gonna be? Does my Kagami-wami-samami want a kiss?" Konata said sarcastically leaning toward her, puckering her lips.

"Get away from me! I'm not kissing anyone! I've not even had my first kiss!" Kagami recoiled.

"Yeah, back off Chibi, Kagami's first kiss is for me!" Misao shouted and flailed her arms. "I've known her longer! It's mine! Mine!"

"Please calm down Misa-chan, this is a big deal for a girl." Ayano replied, petting her friend next to her, causing her to calm her frustrations and relax. "You are a girl you know."

Konata protested out loud. "But that's what nights like this are made for! I learned all about it from Patty-chan. They do it in America all the time. I heard sometimes they have parties where girls spend all night practicing kissing on each other."

"They do?" Tsukasa said with incredulity, looking at Patty.

"I never said that" she replied, looking at the ceiling.

"You have got to stop hanging around your…otaku people!" Kagami said with an abhorred expression.

"Be that as it may, you gotta take what you can dish. So who's it gonna be? Meeee?"

"No way!"

"Well then I suppose it would be more comfortable with Tsukasa, right? Pandering to fanservice and tripping the ever popular twincestual flag?"

"Gross Konata! That's my sister!"

"Well then how about Miyuki?" Kagami stuttered but couldn't come up with a good excuse fast enough. Crap. Mmm. I can't do this! She turned very flustered, thinking at a hundred miles an hour. Even if I did…I couldn't kiss Tsukasa, no way. And Konata…no! She'd never ever let me heard the end of it! Who else? Ayano? She's seeing someone I think, that'd be cheating. Misao? Not a chance! And the underclassman, that'd be wrong too. And Miyuki…Kagami contemplated for a moment, looking at Miyuki out of the corner of her eye. Well I guess lots of people would love to have their first kiss with Miyuki.

"I…um..."

"It's decided! Miyuki-san, if you please."

"Konata! NO!" Kagami's face lost its color as Miyuki leaned forward to voice her objection.

"Ah, um. But this affects me as well, Konata-san. I would think it only be fair if somehow we both had to complete a dare that required the same thing of the both of us?"

"Yeah, no fair, Kagami might choose me!" Misao's rant knocked Hiyori's sketchpad out of her hand, which she very quickly retrieved and started drawing on.

"Well then this gives you a free-pass Miyuki, I'd have dared you to do it next. Problem solved, go ahead." The otaku smiled as everyone else sat quietly, eyes wide open. Especially Kagami. Crap, what do I do? Am I going to really have to go through with this? Hell no! But…everyone's looking at me… She looked around the circle, seeing everyone watching her intently. They all did do their dares. I don't want everyone to…Kagami imagined everyone turning away from her, scoffing and walking away. Ah I don't want to have all of my friends leave. She looked at Miyuki, who was looking at her very uncomfortably. Ah geez. Konata, I hate you SO much.

"A-Alright." Here goes nothing. My first kiss. My first kiss?! Am I really having to do this to save face? Damn you Konata, this isn't how it's suppose to be! I wanted it to be romantic… Kagami looked right at Miyuki. Miyuki was nearly trembling, looking back at her. Kagami looked again around the room, everyone watching her. Her palms were sweaty, her body felt uncomfortably hot. Damn you Konata, some day I'm going to seriously get you back for this. Crap crap crap crap. I do NOT want to do this. Damn damn damn damn. Kagami looked at an apprehensive Miyuki. "S-Sorry Miyuki." She leaned forward, getting very close to Miyuki, closing her eyes tight. I can't look at her. This is going to be awful. No, I cannot let Konata do this to me!

Miyuki sat incredulously, her lips trembling, and eyes darting around, trying not to look at anyone in particular. I didn't think my first kiss was going to be like this, I don't want to do this! I must be crazy. No. I just can't. That's it! I'll just tell her to stop. Kagami is reasonable, she will understand.

Miyuki leaned forward just a bit with the intent of standing up and voicing her dissent. However, she misjudged her distance, slid forward too much, and their lips touched. As their soft lips kissed for the first time, Kagami's shock caused her hand to slip as well. She caught herself, but yet accidentally pushed on Miyuki and elicited a surprised moan. The slight noise and brushing of her lips sent a shock through both girls. Miyuki sat there, focusing on nothing other than her friend's lips touching her own, causing her body to get very hot very quickly. Kagami for one felt a surge of heat radiating down her body and from the inside of her core radiating at the same time. Her heartrate sped up even more as the two both let the shock be overtaken by the warmth. Their kiss relaxed just a little, and with each passing fragment of time, the girls closed their eyes a little more, letting this new feeling overtake every other sensation. Kagami heard her sister gasp, alerting her to reality as she slowly broke the kiss, opening her eyes. When she did, she was shocked to see Miyuki with her eyes closed, and with a very dazed look.

"Wow, onee-chan?" The voice broke Miyuki from her trance. Wow, oh my gosh, what was THAT? Miyuki looked right at Kagami, red faced and anxious.

"Ah, um." Kagami's heart rate doubled at the realization of what happened, looking at Miyuki. Konata broke the uncomfortable silence, excluding the sound of Hiyori's drool hitting her paper.

"Heh. Okay. Well, let's um, take five" Konata said, more than a little flushed in the face herself. Holy crap, please tell me I got that on film!

"I, um" Kagami's face turned beet red as she realized what she had just been a part of. "Uh, I…I'll go get us drinks!" Kagami stood up and walked out of the room. She walked into the kitchen, turned the corner and leaned against the wall, staring out into space. Rather than being mad at Konata like she said she would, she stared wide-eyed into the ceiling. Her heart was racing as fast as it would go, replaying what just happened over and over in her head. Wow that was…it was something wasn't it? Holy crap. She unconsciously brushed her shaking fingers over her lips.

In the other room, a very red faced Miyuki sat, looking at the carpet, confused but excited. What…how do I…umm…what…happened? She still had a couple of looks at her. Minami and Yutaka were looking down embarrassed, but Misao and Konata were looking at Miyuki, both blushing. Ayano and Patty sat there shocked, watching Miyuki for any movement. Next to the American, one could hear a mumbling, almost gurgling sound as Hiyori was sketching fast enough to cause smoke coming from the paper. Every five seconds, she had to remove her glasses to wipe the sweat from them. Patty sat next to her, holding a tissue upto the mangaka's nose as she sketched her heart out.

"Yuki-chan? Are you alright?" Miyuki looked up at Tsukasa, still somewhat in a daze. "Yuki-chan?" Tsukasa looked toward Ayano and whispered. "Is she broken?"

"Um."

"Wow." Yutaka whispered quietly. "Did you see that Iwasak….Minami-chan?"

"I…did." The taller girl blushed just a bit more.

"Yuki-chan?" Tsukasa poked her cheek and her mind went back into miwiki-mode. She smiled at Tsukasa as if everything was normal, the blush still not leaving her face though.

"Hello. I'm...alright." The silence grew to an uncomfortable level again, and so Hiyori was the one to break it. She spoke calmly and quietly, with a level of anxiety in her voice. Her eyes were wide opened, her senses on 'very record.'

"H-How was it, Takara-san?"

"How was it? How was what? Oh! Ah yes. It was…" Miyuki drifted off again. "I don't know. It was…" What is this feeling anyway?

"Was it good or bad?" Patty asked softly. Hiyori sat next to her, watching and waiting through fogged glasses, her hand on autopilot while she wrote down words, ideas, phrases, pictures, anything.

"Ah. It...it wasn't bad…" I guess…I enjoyed it? "I…I think that maybe I enjoyed it?"

The official end of the game was the sound of a grinning and paralyzed Hiyori falling over splayed out limp the floor.
