{Sorry about that looong wait. D: I feel really bad. Welp, here's chapter 4! Oh and by the way, I added an OC into this chapter. Don't worry, he doesn't play the game, Vanille only mentions him once.}

Round Three, The Syrup Challenge

Recap:

"Let's have another round! How about it?" she asked.

Lightning nodded. "Sounds perfect."

x.x.x.x.x

"I'm bored. I want to go home," Sazh remarked.

"Hey! That's my line!" Hope grunted.

"You'll regret saying that," Lightning said.

"… Why?" Sazh dared to ask.

"Whenever someone makes a remark, I noticed, Vanille mentions what this round's challenge is. As far as I am curious, I don't really want to find out this soon." Lightning shook her head.

"I see. Hey, we'll find out eventually anyways."

Vanille nodded. "Hey Fang, do you remember that one challenge that was very weird?"

"Which one? All of 'em are weird!" Fang said, chuckling.

"The one that … what was his name … Rein! The one that Rein threw up in!"

"Ah, the Syrup challenge?" Fang smirked.

"The S-syrup challenge …?" Hope squeaked. "I think I already know what happens …"

"Well, what's your guess?" Vanille asked whilst tilting her head.

"Hmm … Do they get syrup poured on their head if they refuse?" Hope asked.

"Yes! One thing to add: It's called 'Very Icky Sticky Syrup'! I always use it on my waffles and pancakes! And sometimes my enemies!"

"I'm guessing that's the stickiest syrup gets?" Hope asked.

"Yup! The reason our friend threw up that round is because … well … heh, we used some really old syrup to pour on him. It was … grooooss." Vanille giggled. Fang nodded.

"It was so disgusting and it took 'im so long to wash out! What was it, Vanni? Seven months?" Fang asked.

"No, no … It was definitely eleven and a half months."

"W-whoa! Almost a whole year?!" Serah asked.

"Mm-hmm," Vanille confirmed.

"I guess we should just get this round over with," Snow said, tightening his tutu.

"Yo' still in dat thang?" Fang asked.

"Yeah ... So?"

"Ain't that ... I dunno ... a bit girly fo' ya?"

"Nope. It fits perfectly, AND it makes me look gay."

"Okay, first of all, how can you LOOK gay? That's just kind of ... rude. Second of all, you don't 'look' like anything, only a grown man enjoying himself in a pink tutu meant for girls," Hope corrected.

"Gee, Hope. Since when were you so defensive over homosexuals?" Lightning asked.

"Since ever ... Anyway, truth or dare, Fang?"

"Mmmm ... I smell whiskey." Fang sniffed the air.

"I said, TRUTH OR DARE?!"

"E-eh? Oh. I pick dare."

"I dare you to kiss Snow. {*cough* where the real Fang/Snow happens. *cough*}"

"Aw, hell nah! I ain't kissin' that!" Fang pursed her lips and pointed her nose in the air with a pout.

"Fangy, you should do it! It'll be kee-YOOT!" Vanille gushed.

"Oi, enough wit' dis cute stuff. I'll do it, okay?!" Fang groaned and leaned over to Snow and kissed him passionately. Snow's eyes widened. I can't believe she actually went through with it ... Wow, she's a great kisser. How is Vanille NOT dating he- oh wait ... they're sisters. But seriously ... why can't Serah be this good? Er, why COULDN'T she be? She was lucky when she kissed Fang a few rounds ago. Man, I bet even sis' couldn't be this goo-

"SNOW!" Vanille shouted.

"Eh?" He rubbed the back of his head.

"Well? Aren't you gonna answer?"

"... Answer what exactly?"

"Answer what exactly?" Fang scoffed. "Ma QUESTION, dumb ass."

Still dazed about both the kiss and the fact that he had left a question hanging in the air, he answered, "... What was the question?"

"DID YA LIKE THA KISS?" Fang shouted at him.

"... Y-yes! Okay? Yeah, I did! You happy?"

"Very," was Fang's reply.

{Such idiots, the author thinks, but sadly, the stupid characters cannot hear nor see her.}

"Hope, truth or dare?" Lightning asked.

"Ah ... Truth."

"Will you ever get Serah pregnant?"

"... Let me think about that one." Hope brushed his non-existent beard with his fingers.

Serah blinked awkwardly. "Dude! What the fudge?"

"My answer is it is her choice."

"All right then," Lightning said.

"Hey, Light! Truth or Dare?" Sazh asked, looking at her.

"I pick truth. I'm afraid of what you'd dare me." Lightning took a sip of some coffee Vanille brought her while Fang and Snow were kissing.

"Alright, cool. Are you on your period?"

Lightning spat the coffee directly on Sazh's face. "Wha- I'm NOT answering that!"

"You want some sticky syrup poured on you, yes?" Vanille asked.

"Better than answering that ..."

Vanille cheerfully grabbed the bottle of Very Sticky Syrup and poured it over Lightning's head. "Sorry, babe." The brown syrup trickled down the sides of the warrior's strawberry hair.

"Disgusting ..." Lightning remarked. She took a small taste of the syrup. "At least it tastes good."

"Oh, man! I am NOT hugging you for eleven months, sis'!" Serah said, giggling and tasting the syrup as well. "Mm ... This IS good! Truth or Dare, old man?"

Sazh sighed. "I can assume you were speaking to me. I pick truth."

"Hummmm ... If Lighty was your age, would you consider doing her?"

"Oh jeez ... I dunno. I'll have to see what she looks like when she's forty-four."

"Truth or Dare, Serah?" Snow reluctantly asked.

"No more frick-fracking! And dare." She looked at him with a smirk and even he couldn't hold back a small chuckle.

"I dare you to go frick Hope in the other room."

"... Give me the syrup!" Serah said.

Vanille giggled, pouring another bottle of it on her head.

"Yum!" Serah exclaimed.

Vanille smiled. "Truth or Dare, Snow?"

"I pick dare."

"I dare you to dye your hair bright green!"

"I guess I'm gonna be avoided for eleven months. Pour that syrup."

"... Eheh, about that ... We're kinda out of syrup. So you have to do the dare."

"God dammit—" He got up, grabbed green hair dye, and poured the whole can on his head, even getting some on the tutu.

"BWAHAHAH!" Fang laughed and fell over because she was laughing so hard.

"..." Hope just shook his head.

"Vanni, truth or dare?" Fang asked.

"Hmm ... Dare!"

"I dare you to say 'statistics' ten times fast."

"Okay? Statistics satitsics saxisdicks statistits sasisits sextitsdick statistics statitsics stasitsics statistics." Vanille blushed. "... I see what you did there."

To get that off of everyone's mind, Sazh suggested, "How 'bout we move on?"

Everyone nodded. "Alright, if you insist," Vanille said.

{There you have it, chapter 4! R&R, please! I need ideas for the rest of the challenges! Thankies! ~Ari}
