Thanks for all the reviews, I appreciate it! And yeah…this is extremely late…sorry, but I couldn't find my muse.

"That sentence made little sense, but truth or dare," Jerome grinned mischievously. "It appears you have a plan forming in that head of yours, Nina. Care to share?"

"Sure, Jerome, come here."

The tall male stood obediently, and in a few strides was next to where Nina said. He crouched down next to her, ignoring Fabian's worried look. "Well?"

Grinning, Nina drew Jerome closer to her and Fabian, whispering her plan into each of their ears…

After a short moment, Jerome and Fabian pulled back.

"I'd never thought I'd say this," said Jerome, looking at Nina appreciatively, "but good plan, Nina." He glanced at Fabian. Solemnly he said, "You've got a good one." Fabian blushed again while Mara looked slightly agitated.

Nina grinned. "Thanks." She looked over at Fabian. "Fabian? What do you think?"

Fabian smiled sweetly at her. "You always have good plans."

Nina turned slightly pink, her smile widening.

"Anyway!" said Jerome loudly, "Eddie!"

Eddie blinked. "What?"

Jerome smirked. "We're playing truth or dare, Eddie. So…truth or dare?"

Eddie looked at Jerome warily for a moment before replying back strongly, "Dare."

Jerome grinned wickedly. "Good choice."

Amber looked at Nina nervously. "Nina," she said cautiously, "what did you do?"

Nina shrugged. "Nothing I shouldn't have."

"Don't lie, Nina," chided Jerome. He turned to face Amber. "She did everything she shouldn't have."

Amber, eyeing Nina, scooted slightly away.

Nina glared at Jerome, who continued to ignore her.

"So, Eddie," said Jerome, and everyone quickly remembered the subject, Nina smirking as she remembered the plan, "you chose dare, right?"

"I guess," he said. He looked uncertain. "Why? Can I change it?"

"No." Eddie looked frightened for a second before the look passed. "Alright, Eddie, I dare you to…" Jerome paused and looked at everyone. "To…"

"Just say it already!" Patricia yelled. Jerome's smile grew as he looked at the spitfire.

"…To snog Patricia."

"What?" Both yelped. They stared at each other, then Jerome, too caught up in the dare to notice everyone was laughing.

"Jerome," said Patricia after she had regained her voice, "you're mental. Bloody mental!"

"Actually, it wasn't my plan." Jerome glanced to the side, still smirking. "It was Nina's, so yell at her and call her crazy."

Setting her jaw, Patricia turned to the American girl. "Nina!" she hissed. "How could you-you-"

Nina smiled sweetly. "What's the matter Patricia? Too chicken?" When Patricia didn't say anything she continued. "Anyway, I think it would be good for you. Eddie's barely been here for an hour, and already your arguing-while amusing-is really starting to get on my nerves."

Patricia was quiet for a moment. "Fine," she whispered. She turned to Eddie, who had been watching the whole display in shock. "Are you going to kiss me, or what?"

"C'mon, mate," laughed Alfie, causing a slight pink to enter Patricia's cheeks when she realized everyone was still there, "it's just Patricia."

Eddie swallowed and looked at her.

"Well?" said Patricia, starting to get irritated, "walk over here, will you?"

Everyone watched in a tense silence as Eddie stood up and walked over to where the British girl was sitting. Crouching in front of her, he hesitated for only a moment before he touched his lips to hers.

One…two…three seconds.

He pulled away quickly, blushing, his face as dark as Patricia's hair. Patricia's cheeks didn't look any better, but she had an odd look on her face. There was another short silence before Patricia took a deep breath. "Well-"

"What is going on out here?"

Everyone watched in shock as their head, Victor, shouted at them as he stormed from the house, his stony face looking cross.

"My gosh," muttered Jerome just as Mara said, "That was sudden."

"What," Victor repeated, coming closer, "is going on here?"

Everyone's attention was not on Victor, though, but on what was behind him.

"What-what are you looking at?" Turning around, Victor had enough time to see the door swinging before it closed with a bang.

Everyone asked for Peddie, and I had this planned anyway, so here you go. :)
