A/N: Yup, most people guessed right; Vanitas is the oldest, and he will make sure that no one forgets. Ven is the youngest here. Also, from now on, the chapters will probably focus more on the pairings and the outcome of the letters requesting help.

"Vani, it's wakey wakey time! We've got a couple of letters to reply to!"

A cheerful Sora entered his brother's bedroom to wake him up. He opened the curtains and the windows so that Vanitas could see that today was going to be a beautiful day. Well, that and the room could use some fresh air.

"Vani?"

When he got no response whatsoever, the second-oldest brother approached the bed.

Sora yelped when Vanitas suddenly grabbed his wrist and growled menacingly, "Interrupt my sleep one more time and I'll interrupt your breathing. Got it?"

The usually bubbly teen knew him long enough to realize that he was being serious; the more original Vanitas's threats sounded, the more he had to be careful.

"S-sorry. I'll wait downstairs then."

"I actually thought Sora was kidding when he said we already have a few responses to our first post," Vanitas admitted when he finally got to see the tiny stack of letters on the dark, wooden coffee table.

"Oh, there's only one of them requesting our help, but nothing we couldn't handle. The rest is all fanmail it seems," Ventus announced proudly. "Looks like we really are heading somewhere with this! Even Selphie was impressed!"

Sora nodded. "Yeah! She said she liked our name 'Chosen_OracleX' too, because it's a unisex name."

It seemed that their first plan had worked after all; the siblings had been watching all the cool people at school for a week to come up with a list of tips and tricks on how to score girls and get out of the friend-zone. Apparently, they had done quite a good job.

Some of these tips were obvious, like 'Never comment on a girl's new haircut, even if you like it, because they always want to date the people who don't seem to notice them.' Still, they didn't know how experienced their audience was (or who their audience was to begin with), so they made a Top 20 of things you could do to help you get more popular among girls in general.

"Sora, since it was your idea, I think you should open this last letter," Roxas said, as he handed his brother a light-blue envelope.

"Very well then. Let's see... This is what it says:

Dear Chosen_OracleX,

I'm desperate. I've been trying to get someone's attention, but it's all in vain. He seems a little cold, devoid of all emotion, silent and aloof at first. But I really like him! He's so smart and he likes to read.

Please tell me what I should do!

Much love,

~AngelWings"

It was silent for a moment, but then... "Wow, he sounds like a jerk to me. I'd say: dump him."

"You know, I don't think you're in any position to say such stuff about people, Van," Ven commented with a frown, even though in his heart, he agreed with the raven-haired teen.

"Yeah, you're not exactly Cheerful Charlie, either," Sora said.

"I think one Cheerful Loser per family is more than enough, thank you very much," Vanitas retorted with a roll of his eyes. "But if you must follow the softie approach, why not challenge this guy to a quest? That way she can torture him as much as she wants by making him do dirty stuff so he'll finally notice her."

Everyone blinked, clearly dumbfounded.

"You know...that could actually work," Ven said slowly.

"I know. After all, I was the one who came up with it," was the smug response. "I'll take it from here. We'll start with calling things by their names; 'Dear Idiot.'"

However, the others didn't think this was the right approach.

Rinoa's heart was beating so loud that she was scared that everyone could hear it. She'd just read the response to her letter to Chosen_OracleX (both her question as well as the reply had been published in the school magazine). The raven-haired girl was glad that she'd signed her letter with an alias, because she'd seen Squall walk around with a copy of the magazine too. The reply had been perfect though:

Dear AngelWings,

I'm so sorry to hear that! But thankfully, I have the perfect solution: why not try to catch his attention with a quest? Leave little clues for him so he'll feel challenged. This way, he will realize for sure how hard he worked to win your heart. His reward for his bravery and wit would be you, his Angel.

Good luck!

XOXO

That was when Rinoa decided that the best time to do this was on Valentine's Day. The letter had given her hope. She just knew that she would succeed at last.

Squall had been fearing this day the most. He couldn't believe the amount of Valentine's Day cards he found in his locker. What did girls even see in him when he hardly ever talked? He didn't spare the cards a second glance before throwing them all in the nearest trash can. After all, he wasn't interested in those girls. Not when-

A small, light-blue card fell out of one of his books. It was too small for a loveletter, so he picked it up.

Dear Squall,

Do you have the Heart of a Lion and the sleuthing skills of a dog? If so, I challenge you to take this test of pure bravery and perseverance!

If you can solve these riddles and complete the quest in time, you will get your reward.

But hurry, for you have until sunset. Good luck!

~Your Angel in Distress

PS: A coin has two sides.

"What the…" he muttered, automatically turning the card.

He was greeted by the same handwriting. This side of the card said, Go to the dirtiest place of this school and find the Key that holds all the Secrets…

This could be interesting, he mused. Of course it could also be a prank to make him become the laughing-stock of the entire school, but he doubted that this was some childish class clown's work.

Whatever, I'll do it.

A/N: My question to you readers would be: Venine (VenxNaminé) or Namixas (NaminéxRoxas)?
