That was the only one…oh well. On with the story!

Chapter 3: PARTY!

…Gray. The bottle has landed on Gray. Gray flushed slightly and rose onto his knees. We leaned in and had a small two-second kiss. We both sat down and the bottle was spun for Gray's fate. It landed on Elli. A slight look of disgust appeared on both of their faces. They kissed quickly and then it was Elli's turn. After a few more spins, the bottle landed on Ann. The bottle spun deciding her fate. It landed on Cliff. She blushed and put her hand over her mouth. They leaned in and did what they needed to. When I saw Ann's face, it was as red as her hair. So then the bottle spun for Cliff. I was a bit surprised when it landed on me. I swallowed and we leaned in. Afterwards, the game proceeded as normal. After a while, everyone grew bored and we decided to play Truth or Dare. Karen started off.

"I want everyone to answer this Truth: Who do you have a crush on?" She said.

"Oh, it's competition between two very special ladies." Kai immediately replied with his hands behind his head in a relaxed pose.

"Hey! I thought it was me!" Popuri shouted with an angry look on her face.

"Yes, but you have competition. You're one of the two." Kai calmly told her.

"Who?" She asked him.

"My competition is between Popuri and Amy." He calmly told us with a smile.

Popuri still looked angry and sad when the next person told. After a while, Kai, Popuri, Rick, Elli, the Doctor, and Karen had told. That's when Rick made a statement.

"Hey, Mary what about you?"

Mary blushed and nervously stuttered, "I-I-I'm not gonna g-g-go."

"You have to." Karen told her. "It's part of the game. C'mon. It won't be that hard. You just say it."

Everyone began to throw in some positive comments to try to get Mary to tell. Eventually she spoke up.

"I-I-I like…Gray."

She put her chin on her knees right after she spoke. She looked at Gray and said,

"Well, Gray. Do you like me?"

"…No, I don't like you that way." He replied with a stern look on his face.

Mary looked at the floor looking unhappy. Kai then spoke.

"Then who DO you like?" He asked Gray.

"…I'm not telling." Gray replied.

"Well if you don' tell, you'll have to do a REALLY dumb dare. That's just the way the game is played." Ann told him.

"Okay fine, I'll take the dare." He replied.

Everyone was at first a bit shocked, but then some of them got a mischievous look on their face. We all huddled into one big huddle to decide the dare for Gray. Eventually we decided on what to do. We walked over to Gray and held up his arms.

"Wha? What are you doing?" He asked us.

"We can't think of a dare for you, so you must tell us who you have a crush on or we shall give you (dun, dun, dun) a tickle torture." Karen told him with a small grin on her face. (A/N: Sorry for the cheesiness! I couldn't think of anything!)

"Okay! Okay! I'll tell! I'll tell!" Gray exclaimed before we began the terrible torturing. "It's…it's…Amy."

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

He continued. "She's just kind, pretty, smart. What more could you ask for? I know I don't see her very often, but when she does come to the blacksmith's, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I guess that's what you feel when you love someone. She makes me happy and I'm in love with her." He looked at me with a very hopeful look in his eyes.

No one said anything. They just stared at Gray with a look of curiosity and slight amazement. Then after a while, Popuri piped up,

"So, Amy, who do you have a crush on?"

I was in the hot seat. Everyone stared at me, including Gray who still had that hopeful look in his eyes. Fortunately, I am very good at lying.

"No one." I replied.

"Oh, you must have a crush on someone." Karen taunted.

"I don't." I firmly told her.

Fortunately, they took my hint and moved on. Whew. I thought. Thank goodness I'm good at lying. They moved on to Ann.

"Uh…uh…" She bit her lip. "I'm so shy!" She finally replied.

"It's not that hard." Mary told her. "Just spit it out. Once you get it over with, then you'll be fine."

"Uh…" She nervously stated. "Let Amy tell it. She knows. I'm too shy."

"Well" I said. "Okay. If you insist. She likes Cliff."

Ann nervously looked over at Cliff who was just sitting there with a nonchalant look on his face. Then they immediately asked Cliff.

"I'm not going to tell no matter what you do." He mumbled.

"What's with the mumbling?" Asked Kai.

"I'm just not feeling too happy." He said, still mumbling.

He got up and went upstairs. My compassionate side took over.

"I'm gonna go see what's up." I told everyone.

"See if you can cheer him up and bring him back down here." Rick told me.

I climbed the stairs and went to the only closed door-the one farthest down the hall. I knocked on it.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Who is it?" Said a voice from behind the door that I guessed was Cliff's.

"It's Amy." I replied. "Can you open up?"

I heard a click and then the door opened. I stepped inside and closed the door. Cliff was sitting on a bed and staring at the floor. I sat down next to him.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"It's just…" He mumbled. Then he said some things too quiet for me to understand.

"Please speak up. I can't hear you." I told him.

"Oh, it's nothing. Maybe I'll tell you later." He replied.

He got up and walked out the door. I followed him downstairs and back to the party. We all decided to stop playing Truth-or-Dare and open up presents. Ann and I enjoyed our presents and we had some good food to eat. After a while, all the boys left and it was just the girls left to sleepover. We just gossiped until we nodded off. The next day, I took all of my presents home. Overall, it was a fun party.

A/N: Yes, I know that this chapter was shorter than all of the others. I do know that it will continue to get more interesting. I have Summer last a very long time for reasons that you will see later. Just keep reviewing. Thanks for reading this!
