Mertyle's mouth dropped open disbelievingly. "Spin the bottle?" she asked incredulously.
"Just be glad it's not strip poker," said Lucy solemnly. "Hey, good idea," said Lilo falsely. "But, it's the rules, and you're already in. So what is it? Your one resolution, or spin the bottle?"
"I'll play," said Mertyle instantly.
"Good," said Lilo triumphantly.
Mertyle's eyes narrowed.
"Okay. Stitch, pick a between one and 10, and have it ready in your head. All set?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Keoni, pick a ."
"2"
"Lucy?"
"9."
"Rabeacca?"
"5."
"Mertyle?"
"6."
"And me."
"Nah, Lilo, Mertyle guessed it on the dot," Stitch interrupted.
Mertyle's eyes widened.
"We'll just go clockwise from there, right?"
"Yeah." Stitch passed Mertyle the empty glass Coke bottle. She placed it on the floor, closed her eyes, swollowed, took a breath, and spun. It landed on Lucy.
"No," said Mertyle firmly. Lucy looked slightly disappointed, but maybe it was Stitch's imagination. "Well, what's your resolution, then?" asked Lilo sweetly.
Mertyle gulped, unfolded her paper, and mumbled something completely incomprehensible.
"What was that?" asked Lilo in the same innocent tone of voice.
Mertyle cleared her throat. "Date Keoni," she finally said.
