Hurley glares at Charlie. "But we've gotta do it dude. It's tradition."

"No bloody way."

"Do it for the ladies."

"Excuse me?"

"For a rock star you're kind of a prude man." Hurley rolls his head to the right gesturing to Kate and Claire, who are standing together over by the fire. "Do. It. For. The. Ladies. If we do it, then they'll do it."

Charlie crosses his arms and grins a little. "Your logic is not like our earth logic."

"Good thing." Hurley looks at this watch impatiently. "Dude. Now."

Charlie sighs. "Fine."

Hurley bends over a little to give Charlie a quick peck on the lips. Instead, Charlie grabs Hurley's head and pulls him towards himself forcefully. Hurley is too stunned to react, so he lets Charlie draw the kiss out.

Kate and Claire's claps and shouts of Happy New Year startle them apart.

"My gum please." Charlie holds out a hand and smirks up at Hurley. "Gum is a precious thing around here you know."

Hurley gingerly takes the gum out of his mouth and gives it to Charlie.

"Dude where the hell did you get gum?"
