"We should play a game," Aeris suggested as the group stared dully at the flames of their campfire. Cloud sighed and shook his head, brushing his bangs from his eyes. Yuffie, however, was all for a little fun and nodded eagerly. Tifa gave a disinterested shrug.
"Can we play truth or dare?" the young ninja asked as she rocked on her feet. Aeris smiled and nodded, earning a 'whoopee' from the girl.
Seeing that nobody else was interested in playing, the three girls just played by themselves. It was not anything exciting. The truths were the basic, is it true you had so many…? Or is it true that you ever…? And the dares were not too wild either. They were just random stuff like hugging a tree. That was until Yuffie became fed up of the childish antics and decided on having a bit more fun.
"Okay, Aeris, truth, or dare?"
"Dare," the flower girl replied, not expecting anything too exciting.
"I dare you to kiss Cloud," she said causing Tifa to spit out the drink she had taken from her carton. Aeris blinked, her cheeks flushing but this only made the ninja more determined, her eyes sparkling mischievously and the Cetra knew there was no way out of it, having used all her 'chicken' cards.
She stood up and made her way back to the majority of the group, walking straight towards Cloud who just blinked in confusion. His mouth opened to ask her what the matter was but she had already descended, pressing her lips gently against his. The blue eyes widened as the sensation washed over them, Yuffie's cheering, and loud giggling could be heard in the distance. Before he could really respond, Aeris had pulled away with a smile.
