Chapter Two: How to Attempt to Enjoy a Night of Sleeping At Misha-san and Shia-san's House

The five sat around the fire, two of them wearing bored expressions, one of them attempting to play a video game, one of them trying to think of something to say, and the other roasting a hotdog over the fire on a chopstick because they had nothing else to use. The hotdog weenie caught on fire.

"AHHHHHHHH! Fire in the house! SU! SU! SU!" Misha yelled, running around in circles. The others didn't know what to do, so they just stood and watched her. Koboshi-Chan eventually took the chopstick and dipped it in the toilet.

"Well, I don't think you want to eat it anymore, but at least it's not on fire," Koboshi said plainly, handing her the weenie.

"Th-Thanks, su," Misha giggled, looking guilty again. "I've got it! Let's play a gamey-wamey! Suuuu!"

"Yeah, let's play truth or dare!" Ten-Chan exclaimed, snapping his fingers. "Shia-san, do you have an old bottle we could use?"

Shia looked up. "Um, I might."

She dug through the cupboards, then took out a bottle of soy sauce. "I guess this will do."

She put the bottle on the floor in the middle of all of them. Ten-Chan spun it, and soy sauce flew everywhere.

"AHHH! Shia! Do you, like, have a BOTTLE CAP for this or anything!" Kotarou yelled.

"Mmm… I taste good! Su!" Misha cried, licking her arms. "All I need is a little sushi and I'll taste great!"

"Oops! Sorry!" Shia cried, embarrassed. She pulled a capped ketchup bottle out instead. "Okay, now try."

They waited 'til Misha was done cleaning herself with her tongue and then Takashi spun the bottle.

"Okay, Misha. Truth or dare?" Ten-Chan asked.

Misha shrugged, then said between a lick, "I dunno. Su. I've never played this game before."

"Just do dare, then."

"Okay! Su! What do I have to do?" Misha asked, pouring more soy sauce on her arms and legs.

"Um –"

"YOU HAVE TO STOP LICKING YOURSELF," Kotarou interrupted.

Misha stared, then giggled guiltily. "He, he. Okay, su."

"Okay, I think we can do better than that," Ten-Chan nodded, spinning the bottle again. "Okay… let's see… it landed on nobody…"

He spun it again, and after twenty-four times of not landing on anyone, it finally landed on Koboshi.

"Alriiiiight, Koboshi!" Ten-Chan said with an evil smile. "Truth or dare?"

I know if I do truth, he'll make me admit that I like Kotarou! Koboshi thought nervously. But if I do dare, he'll think of something like jump out the window.

"Dare," Koboshi sighed, waiting for the worst.

"I dare you to kiss –"

"NO! I'm not kissing anyone! NO!" Koboshi cried, closing her ears. Everyone stared at her.

"Geez, I was just gonna dare you to kiss the TV. But that's an even better idea!"

"Eh?" Koboshi said, sweating.

"Yeah, I dare you to kiss Kotarou."

"WHAT!" Kotarou and Koboshi cried at the same time.

"What? You like him, don't -?"

"LA, LA, LA, LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU SAY!" Koboshi cried, closing her ears with her fingers and walking around the room. "It's time for your big mouth to shut up, mister."

"Okay, okay, just doing you a favor."

"Dude, were you gonna make me KISS her?"

"No, I was gonna make her kiss the TV. It was her idea."

"Right," Kotarou said, still staring at Koboshi march around the room and scream while Misha followed her.

"Okay, sit down!" Ten-Chan yelled at them. "We wanna keep playing!"

He spun the bottle when they sat down. It landed on himself.

"Ooo, it landed on YOU, Ten-Chan! I wanna give him a dare!" Koboshi smiled evilly. Everyone took a few steps away.

"What are you gonna do to me, anyway?" Ten-Chan asked.

"Stick your head in the fire, Ten-Chan."

"What!"

"Koboshi, you're kind of freaking me out," Kotarou said.

"Perhaps we've all had a little too much soup," Shia sighed. "How about we get some rest now?"

"Ooo, I wanna go get my matching PJ's! Su!" Misha cried, clapping her hands. "Kotarou, Shia, you should wear yours, too! Suuu!"

"I'll more than pass," Kotarou said quickly, shaking his head.

"Ooo, matching PJ's! I'll get my camera!" Ten-Chan laughed.

"He, he," Shia giggled. "Um, I'll make up some beds for you."

Shia and Misha left.

"You know, we can easily walk to my house across the hall," Kotarou sighed, annoyed.

"Aw, come on, Kotarou! Where's your sleepover spirit?" Ten-Chan said excitedly, whapping Kotarou over the head and making him fall over.

"I don't think I ever had any," Kotarou mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck. Koboshi slapped Ten-Chan in the face.

"Ow, geez! What's with you and hurting me!" Ten-Chan cried.

"Stop hurting Kotarou-kun and maybe you'll find out!" Koboshi cried. "Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" Kotarou asked, but Misha did I full-on tackle in her bunny pajamas.

"Lookie, Kotarou-kun! Aren't these pajamas just kewlsie kewl? Eh? Kotarou-kun?" Misha stood to see a Kotarou with swirly eyes.

"Oh, no! I killed Kotarou-kun!" Misha cried, running around and weeping.

"Ugh, here comes the water works," Koboshi sighed.
