"That's good." says a voice from behind me. I yelp and jump like, 10 feet across the room. "Hiya Foster." says Keefe, raising his eyebrows. I bend over, catching my breath "Keefe? What are you doing here so EARLY?" I gasp "UUUGGHHH!" he moans "It was either get here SUPERearly, or spend the afternoon with my dad. Which one would YOU choose, Foster?" "Oohhh." I say in understatement. " "Yup." says Keefe. I grin at him slyly. "Well, since you decided to get here so early, you can help me set up!" I say, then drag him away from my bed "We have WORK to do!"/p

Keefe and I shout at the same time. We stare at each other for a moment before racing down the stairs. Tam, Linh, Dex, Biana, and Fitz stand in the doorway. I welcome them in before Biana grabs me and Linh by the arm and drags us to my room. "Giiirl time!" she exclaims as she shuts the door loudly and plops on the bed. "Sooooooo." says Biana, looking a Linh. "You and Fitz, huh?" My (and Linh's) eyes pop open. Linh blushes. "Wha-huh-who-WHAT?" she sputters "Umm, do you LIKE HIM?" interrogates Biana. "Well-I-it's just- Ok. It's kind of, well, the world seems brighter when he walks into a room, a-and his eyes make me daydream, and well.." she trails off. Biana and I look at each other, eyebrows raised "You loooooooove him!" we say at the same time. Linh blushes and stares at the ground. Biana jumps up and down, clapping and giggling. Then we hear a knock on the door and fall silent. "Can we come in NOW?" Dex's muffled voice asks. I transmit to Fitz em style="box-sizing: border-box;"Where you out there the whole time?! /emHe chuckles em style="box-sizing: border-box;"Naw. We heard Biana clapping and giggling. Anything that I need to know? /emI see him raise his eyebrows as the boys walk in em style="box-sizing: border-box;"Nope! Bye!/em I transmit. He playfully glares at me. "Let's play Base Quest!" Biana announces. We all agree, except for Tam and Linh. "What's Base Quest?" they ask at the same time. Everybody gasps. "We'll teach you!" says Fitz eagerly. Linh blushed again. Keefe's voice interrupts the silence. "I call Foster!" he shouts and sidles up next to me. I try to suppress a grin. "Oh," he says "I'm feeling some real em style="box-sizing: border-box;"happiness/em coming off of you, Foster. Excited to be on my team?" I blush "Let's just play the game, already!" I say loudly/p

We took a short dinner/dessert break before getting back to games. Biana sat us in a circle in my room and announced our next game. Truth or Dare. "Elves play that game too?" I ask in surprise "Yeah, silly!" Biana giggles "Where do you think the humans got the game?" "Hmmmm..." I say, deep in thought "Let's just start the game!" cries Dex "Ok! Me first!" says Linh. She raises her eyebrows. "Biana. Truth, or Dare?" "Truth!" says Biana automatically "No-wait-DARE!" she corrects. Linh's smirk grows wider. "Oookkkk. I dare you to kiss the boy of your choice, that is in this room, on the cheek." Biana flushes red. "span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline;"This/span is why you don't take a dare from Linh." Tam mutters. We all stare at Biana, positive that she is going to pick Keefe. But, to our surprise, she tentatively leaned across the circle and pecked Dex on the cheek. They are both blushing furiously, while the rest of us gape at her in surprise. Still blushing, she announces "My turn! Ummm... FITZ! Truth or Dare?" "Fitz mutters "I won't risk it." and picks Dare. Biana tells him to go try and pet Verdi, the T-rex. He does. And comes back completely slobber-covered. "Keefe!" he grumbles "Truth or Dare." DARE! The Keefester doesn't refuse a dare!" He shouts "Fine, I DARE you to pick Truth." Keefe scowled. "Fiiiine. Truth. But make it quiiiiick." He whined "Ok, who would you want to take out on a date?" Fitz pressed "Oh!" Keefe grinned "That's easy! Foster!" he says, and then flashes his trademark grin at me. I try to hide behind my hair. This is going to be much more embarrassing than it should be./p
