" I dare you to kiss Ashley, on the lips, for a full minute."

Had her brother gone crazy? Was it all the sugar? No. Her evilness was rubbing off on him. But if she was so worried about kissing Will, then why were there butterflies in her stomach? Why was her heart jumping in anticipation?

" Stand up, that way it will be a proper kiss." Henry was grinning like the devil as the two stood up obediently. She would get her dear brother back. He was dead wolf walking. Will gave her a funny look as they stood up. But that was okay, it's not like he liked her or anything, right? He just wasn't probably very eager to make out with someone he considered a friend. He leaned in closer. Why was her breath hitching? Was was her very self exploding with... anticipation?

" I'm going to kiss you now." He whispered. She started to nod- but his lips met hers.

She felt weak and explosive all at once. Never before had she kissed someone she truly liked. God... if this is what it felt like, she had to try it more often. But it was just a dare ... even so, nothing could bring her down from the glorious cloud she was on. She felt herself swaying slightly and then heard a yell.

" TIME! BEYOND time! You were eating each other's faces! I almost was gonna be ill!" The werewolf looked in horror at his sister and best friend. " Excuse me while I go throw up....." He left, grumbling.

Will looked at Ashley, worried. He didn't want to take any of his clothes off, and he actually really had wanted to kiss Ashley. It was amazing and he would do it again in a heartbeat. But he was concerned about Henry, who seemed genuinely repulsed by his eagerness. He really didn't want to loose the werewolf as a friend. Ashley seemed oddly distant and she made some vague motion and muttered about going to the bathroom. He sighed. He had lost his best friend and the girl he liked was now disgusted with him, in one blow. Stupid game.

She sat on the tile floor, trembling. He didn't like her

and now he was disgusted with her, probably. Anyone could feel the eagerness. Stupid, stupid, stupid! She berated herself. Henry would get over it, he was drowning his sorrows with the rest of the Ginger Snaps. But Will... ha, good luck explaining to her Mom why they were so distant and awkward. Stupid game.

He grumbled as he heard Ashley crying in the bathroom. Will was pacing the living room. They were so stupid! He had dared them to kiss each other in an effort to get their relationship moving. Everyone could totally tell they liked each other, who could miss the little glances the stole? How he had to more than once had Will zone off with his eyes in the direction of his little sis, and he had teased Ashley more than once about liking Will. But now... Will tough Ash didn't like him and Henry was mad at him, and Ashy was crying in the bathroom. Stupid game!

The had prepared for bed quietly. The awkwardness in the room was not helped by Henry's glares, which in his head were totally not a sign he disapproved. The lights were turned off and they got in bed with the warm crackle of the fire filling the room.

" I've had enough!"

" What?"

" What?!"

" EVERYONE knows you like each other! Stop being so stupid!"

The unspoken question hung in the air.

" Fine. I'll sleep in the kitchen."

The grumpy werewolf trudged in the kitchen. Ashley and Will looked at each other.

" So..."

" So."

And then their lips met.

A/N Gotta love Henry! Okay... to clear some things up. Suspicious pills in Ashley's bag are PEZ, she is not on drugs! And.. Will and Ashley did not... ahem... do the deed. They just ate each other's faces. :) Normally I'm not a Will/Ashley cuz Willy's a playa in the show, but this is MY fic so I can do whatever I want! Muahaha!
