"Kiss me."

A silence descended on Team RWBY's dorm, six pairs of eyes staring in shock at the dark-skinned, green haired young woman who spoke.

"… Wha-what did you say?" squeaked the black-and-red haired teenager sitting next to the speaker.

The smirk on Emerald's face grew wider. When Ruby had invited her to a sleepover, she had thought she was in for a boring time.

And she was right. Most of the night was spent 'gossiping' and 'doing each other's hair' – with the exception of Yang, of course. Not even Mercury was stupid enough to risk that bomb going off.

And then came 'Truth or Dare', and Emerald saw just how boring these girls were. Honestly, what kind of dare was 'put Weiss's underwear on your head'? Or 'who was your first crush'? Granted Pyrrha looked goofy wearing clean, snow-white panties, and Nora's confession that Ren wasn't her first crush did send some shockwaves, but none of that was really good.

So, when it was her turn to choose the next victim, Emerald went with the cute-but-annoying kid who got her there in the first place. And when Ruby squeaked 'dare', Emerald went for the one thing she was certain to leave an impression.

She wasn't disappointed.

"You heard me," Emerald said, "I chose you, you chose 'dare', and I dare you to kiss me."

"Ooooh," Nora drawled, "That's a good one."

"N-now wait a moment," Weiss said, "I'm aware of the rules of this game, but maybe you should suggest something… different?"

"Yeah," Yang said, "I mean, if it was me or Nora or even Pyrrha, I'm sure we'd be fine with it. But Ruby's fifteen."

"Definitely not something that's appropriate."

Emerald shrugged. "Hey, it's Truth or Dare, and she went with 'dare'. Inappropriate's pretty much the name of the game. Heck; Pyrrha's still wearing Weiss's panties, for crying out loud."

"She's got a point." Nora said. She turned to Ruby and Emerald, "Now, c'mon! Lay a big smacker on 'er, Ruby!"

"Nora," Pyrrha chastised, taking off the undergarment, "This is something that takes personal space and consent into account. She should…"

"Okay."

Even Emerald turned to look at Ruby in shock. "… Wait, seriously?"

The young huntress sheepishly played with her hair. "Well, i-it's like you said. I chose 'dare', and I gotta… do it." She shrugged. "Besides, it's just a kiss. No big deal…" she muttered, becoming increasingly interested with examining the carpet.

Emerald looked around, exchanging a surprised glance with the other girls in the room. With the exception of Nora, who seemed to be rather invested in the situation.

"… Well, alright then," Emerald said, shifting to face Ruby, "Let's do this."

Ruby mirrored Emerald's actions. She hesitated for a moment. "Um, a-are we, like, kissing on the, you know, on the lips, or…?"

Emerald rolled her eyes. "Fine, you just have to give me a peck on the cheek." She turned her head so her cheek was facing the flustered girl.

There was a chorus of relieved sighs and a disappointed groan from Nora.

"O-okay, so, uh, here we go." Ruby rose to her knees, placing a hand on Emerald's shoulder to keep her balance, her eyes closing as she got closer.

Just when she was close enough, Emerald turned her head so that their lips met. Ruby squeaked in surprise, but didn't break away.

It was a chaste kiss, but it still elicited surprised gasps and at least one squeal from the other girls in the room.

After a few seconds, Emerald broke the kiss, leaning back to admire the blush on Ruby's face. The young huntress's eyes fluttered open, staring at the thief with a mix of shock and awe.

Emerald absentmindedly licked her lips. "Hmm. Strawberry lip balm. Nice choice."
