"Are we all set for tonight?" Riku checked with the guys. He, Sora, Ventus and Terra had spent a majority of the day goofing off and didn't start preparing for the actual party until half an hour earlier. "We have everything we need?"

"I'm pretty sure we do," Sora answered. "All we really need is a bottle and the others players, right?" He laughed a bit.

"Pretty much," Ventus replied in confirmation.

"Hey, we have two extra guys than girls," Terra then pointed out.

"That's okay, I think I'm gonna sit this one out anyway," Ventus decided.

"No, you don't have to do that," Riku denied. "We'll just have two of the girls on double duty."

"No," Ventus disagreed. "We can't do that because of tomorrow night."

"That's true," Sora agreed. "We can't have two of the girls double for ten minutes in heaven. None of them would want to, either."

"Good thinking ahead, Ven," Terra said. "But who else is gonna sit out?"

"We can figure that out when the others get here," Riku told them. There was then a knock on the door. "And that's right now. I'll be right back." He left.

"Why do you wanna sit out?" Terra asked his housemate.

He shrugged. "I just don't feel like participating."

"Okay, but that means no participation tomorrow night either," Sora reminded him.

"I think I'll live."

Riku returned with Roxas and Axel.

"Hey Roxas, how are you feeling?" Ventus checked with his twin.

"A little better," he answered. "I don't think I'm really up to playing a game tonight, though. Especially a contact game."

"Perfect, Ven isn't playing either," Terra replied. "So the twins are out."

"All right, that was easy," Riku said back. "And the girls should be here soon."

"Tonight's gonna be interesting," Axel thought aloud.

"Especially for Ven and I since we're just watching," Roxas figured.

"I think tonight will be enjoyable," Riku admitted.

"You would think that," Sora replied.

Terra laughed at this. "Just wait until tomorrow night."

"But remember Riku, you were dared by Xion to be in a legit relationship," Sora reminded the silver haired teen.

"And you accepted the dare," Roxas added.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm aware." He sighed. "It's not impossible for me to be in a relationship like you all think."

"We'll see about that," Terra mumbled.

"I'm just curious as to who's gonna end up with who," Axel commented.

"Is there any girl in particular anyone is hoping to get?" Ventus wondered.

"Not really, no," Terra denied.

"Yeah, I don't really care either," Sora declared.

"They're all hot, so it's kinda just whatever," Riku answered.

Roxas laughed. "You're an ass, Riku. And that is why you will never be able to commit to a single person."

"That's what you think. But I will prove you all wrong."

"You like someone," Axel realised, smirking.

"No comment," Riku said back. There was another knock on the front door. His smirk returned. "And let the fun begin." He left to answer the door.

"I'll go get a bottle," Ventus volunteered.

"I'll go with you," Roxas decided.

The twins also left the room.

"So why aren't you playing tonight?" Ventus asked.

"I still feel kinda sick. And in case I actually am I don't wanna get anyone else sick."

"Good reason."

"What about you? Why don't you wanna play?"

He shrugged, taking a half empty bottle from a cabinet under the counter in the kitchen. "I just don't really feel like playing. I mean, I don't wanna take the chance of kissing one of the girls when there's really only one—" he stopped short, cutting himself off.

Roxas smiled. "You like one of them."

Ventus sighed. "I like one of them."

"Which one?"

"You call her your best friend."

His eyes widened in shock. "You like Kairi?"

"Don't say anything to her."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want you to. Let's just wait until this weekend is over. We'll see what happens after tomorrow night."

"Are you sure you wanna do that?"

He shrugged again. "I'll live either way. Now c'mon, the others are probably wondering why it's taking so long for us to get a damn bottle."

They returned to the rest of the group, the girls now present as well. They had already formed a circle, which Ventus placed the empty bottle in the middle of, and then stepped out.

"Okay, so, you two aren't playing?" Xion clarified.

"Right," Ventus confirmed.

"All right, you all know the rules," Roxas went on. "Whoever you kiss tonight is your ten minutes in heaven buddy tomorrow night."

"But for tonight, the kiss has to last for at least three seconds," Ventus continued. "And there are no do over's!"

"You may begin," Roxas concluded.

"Who wants to go first?" Riku questioned.

"I will," Aqua volunteered. She got up and spun the bottle in the centre. She watched it until it stopped, landing on Terra.

"What are the odds of that?" Ventus exclaimed, laughing out loud.

"All right you two," Sora said, smirking. "You gotta kiss now."

Terra stood and unsurely made his way over to Aqua. They awkwardly leaned in to one another and ended up bumping foreheads. Everyone laughed, including the two of them. Then they tried again. They leaned in again and this time their lips actually met. And after three seconds, they broke apart. They both chuckled again before returning to their spots in the circle.

"Who's next?" Roxas asked once Aqua and Terra were sitting back down.

"I'll go," Naminé decided. "Might as well." She got up and spun the bottle. With only her eyes, she followed it as it spun around and around and slow down until it finally stopped. It was pointing at Riku. "Well, first you ask me a truth about love and now this," she thought aloud.

Riku smirked. "What are the odds?" He joined her in the middle of the circle, his smirk now just a smile. "Let's try not to bump heads," he whispered to her.

She laughed quietly in reply. They leaned in to one another and kissed. Naminé's arms were folded across her chest, but Riku's hands were resting on her hips. And the three seconds were over before they knew it. Riku returned to his spot, smiling still, and Naminé returned to her spot blushing slightly.

"Next!" Ventus exclaimed.

"Me," Xion replied. She moved to the middle of the circle and spun the bottle. It stopped on Sora. "Hey Keyblade Master, you're up."

Sora chuckled, joining Xion in the centre. With some hesitation, they kissed for the three seconds. They then returned to their spots without saying another word to one another or even making eye contact.

"That leaves Kairi and…Axel," Roxas realised.

Everyone in the room let out dramatically sarcastic gasps, except for Roxas, Ventus and Naminé. But then the others all laughed.

"Centre of the circle, you two," Riku demanded.

"Can I please pass on this?" Kairi begged.

"Yeah, me too," Axel agreed.

"No!" Aqua exclaimed. "No backing out now!"

"But it's me and Axel!"

"That's too damn bad," Terra replied. "I personally think that you two would make a good couple."

All the others mumbled in agreement, again, except for Roxas, Ventus and Naminé.

"They don't have to do it if they don't want to," Ventus stated.

"It's too uncomfortable for us, even," Naminé admitted in continuation.

"I know I vote against this," Roxas muttered, looking to the floor. He really didn't want them to kiss, but he didn't fully understand why.

"You all know the rules," Sora replied.

"They have to kiss," Xion confirmed.

"Fine," Axel gave in. "Let's just get this over with."

Kairi sighed. "Fine."

The two friends met in the middle of the circle. The others stared with much anticipation. At first, Kairi and Axel just stood there. Then, with much hesitation, they leaned in to one another and kissed. It was the longest three seconds of their lives. And when they broke apart, the others all clapped, except for Roxas, Ventus and Naminé once again.

"See? That wasn't so bad," Riku figured. "You two probably enjoyed that."

"And I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for both of us when I say hell no," Axel responded.

Kairi left the circle, joining Roxas and Ventus. "Can we get out of here?" she whispered to Roxas.

"Please," he replied. He turned to the others. "We're gonna head out."
