Chapter 10-Awkward Moments in Flirting
As Felix's birthday party continued, Taffyta suggested a game in order to make things more interesting.
"Alright, everyone, I think it's about time to play a little game of '7 Minutes In Heaven.'" Taffyta announced.
The party crowd ended up cheering as Taffyta began to take out two bowls that both containing small folded pieces of paper, with one containing names of girls, and the other containing names of boys.
"Now, it's time to pick which girl will get to go inside the closet." Taffyta continued announcing as she was picking a name in the girl bowl "Our first girl is…Samus Aran."
Samus Aran was one of the female blonde students at school who was 5'10" and despite always dressing reasonably casual, was considered one of the hottest girls in school. As soon as her name was picked out, most of the boys were thinking to themselves because they desired to get picked.
"Alright, now it's time to pick a guy who will be our first victim." Taffyta continued announcing as she dug through the boy bowl and finally picked a name "And our lucky guy is…Ralph Smith."
Ralph then froze in shock while he was nearby overhearing his name being announced. He was a bit frightened at the fact that he was chosen. After that, Taffyta proceeded to drag Ralph and Samus into the nearby closet.
"You know the rules, guys." Taffyta announced "While you're inside, anything goes. But remember, you only have 7 minutes to seal the deal."
Ralph and Samus were then pushed into the closet and the timer set for seven minutes officially started. While they were inside, both felt a bit silent, but Samus quickly broke the silence.
"H—Hello, I'm—I'm Ralph Smith." Ralph stuttered.
"Nice to meet you, Ralph, I'm Samus Aran." Samus introduced in reply "We've got seven minutes, what do you want to do?"
"Can you give me a moment?" Ralph nervously asked as he sighed.
"You do realize that we only have seven minutes in here, right?" Samus replied.
Meanwhile, while that was happening, Vanellope was filling her cup with grape soda, and she took it and walked away from the table. However, she unexpectedly bumped into Rancis and spilled her soda all over him.
"I'm so sorry." Vanellope exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I'm okay." Rancis replied nervously.
Vanellope took out a stain stick which she kept in her pocket, and proceeded to rub it on the grape soda stain on Rancis' jacket. Soon, the stain was gone.
"Thanks." Rancis greeted "You're Vanellope von Schweetz, right?"
"Yes, I am." Vanellope greeted back "How do you know my name?"
"I've heard you were one of the candidates for student council president." Rancis answered "Anyway, I'm Rancis Fluggerbutter."
"Thanks for noticing, and I'm sorry about spilling my drink on you." Vanellope replied.
"I told you before, it's alright." Rancis replied back "You didn't have to do that."
"I think I did." Vanellope replied back before chuckling "Anyways, this party is pretty awesome."
"Yeah, I totally agree." Rancis replied back.
All of a sudden, they heard a song come up titled "Loca" by Shakira featuring Dizzee Rascal being played on the sound system. The song ended up intriguing them.
"OMG, this is one of my favourite songs!" Vanellope cheered excitedly "Check this out."
Vanellope entered the dance floor and began showing off some of her dance moves. Rancis took it as a challenge, so he stood right beside her and proceeded to copy those same moves. All of a sudden, they were doing the same dance moves together while the song was being played. As Vanellope and Rancis were dancing together, Candlehead noticed and notified Taffyta.
"I don't know what to do, Candlehead." Taffyta explained "It's like Rancis is unable to be pleased."
"I think Vanellope sure knows how to please him." Candlehead commented.
Taffyta then turned to what Candlehead was looking at and saw Vanellope and Rancis dancing together. Out of anger, Taffyta ended up crushing the cup of soda that she held in her right hand. Taffyta was upset, because she could never get Rancis to notice her, but Vanellope got noticed from the first moment. While that was happening, back inside the closet, Samus was waiting for Ralph to make the first move.
"Are you going to make a move or not?" Samus curiously asked.
"Listen, Samus, the truth is that I'm probably not good enough for you." Ralph explained "Considering the fact that you're the hottest girl in school."
"No guy has ever said something to me like that without being cocky." Samus commented sweetly "Do you really think I'm the hottest?"
"I don't think, I know, and I bet that any compliment I give to you now won't match how beautiful you look." Ralph commented.
"That is one of the sweetest statements I've ever heard." Samus commented back while smiling "But I'm pretty sure you're awesome too."
"Please don't lie to me. I'm already disliked as much now because everyone knows I'm the human wrecking machine." Ralph explained "I don't know why I'm always wrecking things, but I always do. I'm probably going to wreck my chances with you."
"You're not going to, big guy." Samus replied "We've still got five minutes left, and I'm scared as much as you are being in here, but we should make the most of it. May I?"
Ralph had no idea what Samus was talking about, but eventually agreed to what she wanted to do. Samus proceeded to kiss Ralph on the lips. Once their lips touched, Samus felt an electricity-like feeling inside of her which she never felt before. She ended up experiencing a kind of personal enjoyment that couldn't be explained.
"Wow, Ralph. That was some kissing." Samus exclaimed.
Samus jumped holding Ralph's shoulders and proceeded to make out with him. As they kissed repeatedly, Ralph was curious as to why Samus was acting all intrigued around him, but just went with the situation at hand. As they continued kissing, Ralph ended up walking backwards and bumped himself on the wall which the party crowd outside heard. The crowd heard kissing sounds and thumping noises coming from inside the closet, leaving them curious as to what Ralph and Samus were doing in there. When the seven minutes were up, Ralph and Samus left the closet and saw some of the party guests standing in front of them, but walked away from them. However, Jubileena and Minty walked over to Samus to talk to her.
"What happened in there?" Jubileena asked.
"I was making out with Ralph inside." Samus answered.
"Wait, you kissed Ralph repeatedly?" Minty asked.
"Yes, he's really good at it." Samus continued answering.
"How does he do it?" Jubileena continued asking curiously.
Meanwhile, Vanellope finished dancing alongside Rancis and they ended up laughing from all the excitement.
"That was so much fun!" Rancis exclaimed.
"I know, I told you that song was good." Vanellope commented "Anyway, I had a great time."
"Would you like to hang out with me next weekend?" Rancis suggested.
"Of course, I would." Vanellope answered "Can you give me your number?"
Rancis gave Vanellope his cell phone number and said goodbye to her before he left the party.
