"OH"

"MY"

"GOD!"

That was the basic reaction from the group, who were staring open mouthed and wide eyed at the couple on the dance floor. Even though they had been egging them on with the song, they hadn't for a minute considered that they would actaully do it. Shannon and Claire knew that the pair had kissed before, but they knew of the quick peck on the lips in the mall, nothing of this magnitude.

"I don't believe it." Shannon gasped.

"Wait a minute," Sawyer said, working out what was going on in his head. "They're together, and they didn't even tell us?"

"Dude, thats unfair!" Hurley complained.

Charlie looked at them curiously, and then down at his watch, then at the others around him. "Shouldn't they have, you know, come up for air by now?"

"I don't believe it!" Shannon gasped again, louder this time.

Most people would think that they should have come up for air by now, especially Charlie, who was subconsciously timing them, but Jack and Kate were so distracted by the feel of each others lips upon them that they didn't care for what most people thought. This was their first real public kiss, and all the stress of not being able to kiss in front of them for a week was all poured into this single kiss.

Kate's arms were wound tightly around his neck, pulling them as close as humanly possible, and Jack had one had on the back of her neck, cradling her against him, and the other on her back, holding her up. Her legs always felt weak after a kiss like this, and he knew that in heels, she would probably fall over. His tongue found the spot that drove her wild, and she let out a moan into his mouth that only he heard. He returned her sound, and kissed her deeper.

They hadn't noticed that the music they were dancing to had stopped, but it didn't matter, because they weren't dancing anymore. They were more than content to be standing in each others arms all night, enjoying their kiss. They both silently agreed that it was a good song though.

However, no sooner had their lips left each others, arms grabbed hold of them and marched them off of the dance floor. Once they were back over to the side of the dancefloor, they were faced with the shocked and expecting faces of their friends, who looked like they didn't know whether to kill them or scream with an extremely high-pitched squeal.

"When?" Shannon demanded.

Kate laughed, feeling Jack's arm snake around her shoulders, keeping her beside him. "Sunday morning. Jack's front lawn." She told them.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Claire asked.

"We just wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while." Jack said with a smile, looking to Kate, who nodded in agreement with him.

Shannon looked even more shocked. "But-but-but-" She started, unable to get the words out that she wanted to use.

"But we've been planning this for years!" Claire said, finishing off Shannon's sentence. "And you didn't tell us!"

Kate gave a half-shrug. "We decided that we wanted to do it our own way."

Claire looked excited all of a sudden. "How did it happen?"

Shannon got a threatening look on her face, and poked a sharp-nailed finger into Jack's chest. "It had better have been romantic, mister!" She warned him.

He nodded. "Don't worry, it was." He assured them.

"Guys, this is serious." Sawyer said, and Jack and Kate looked over at them over Shannon and Claire's squeeing.

Charlie nodded in agreement. "We need revenge for this."

"Whoa, what? Revenge?" Jack stepped in, but they ignored him, and went deep into thought.

"Oh my god this is so amazing!" Shannon squealed.

"I can't believe you two are finally together!" Claire said, jumping up and down quickly, but stopping when she realised that heels weren't very stable for this purpose.

"How long has it taken them?" Libby asked, having missed the early days of the 'epic love story' of Jack and Kate.

"Only ten years." Sawyer said, before returning to his thoughts.

"So now you can get married, have babies, and it'll all be a happy ending." Shannon said.

"A happy beginning." Claire corrected.

Charlie heard this, and started formulating a plan.

Jack gave them a tired look. "Wasn't the deal that if we won the bet with the dolls that you would stop planning?"

"Yeah, but this is too good to be true!" Shannon said, jumping up and down and coming to the same conclusion as Claire about jumping in heels.

"So, are you two just together, or, like, in love?" Hurley asked.

Jack and Kate looked at each other, giving a warm smile as Jack's arm pulled her closer, leaning her head on his shoulder, and the others all 'awwed' at them, despite the fact that the didn't give an answer.

"They are in love!" Shannon said. "How sweet."

"I've got it!" Charlie announced.

"Got what?" Kate asked

"The revenge."

Jack rolled his eyes. "Why do you need revenge?"

"Charlie's right." Claire told him. "You were in a relationship together and you didn't tell us. The rulebook clearly says that if you are in a relationship with someone inside the group than you have to tell everyone straight away. You've got to do the forfeit."

Kate looked up at Jack again. "Why do I get the feeling we're not going to come out of this alive?" She asked him.

He shook his head. "We'll probably live through it, but we might have to say goodbye to privacy and dignity."

Charlie pointed up in the air. "To the school gardens!"
