Yay! Sokeefe!

Keefe's POV:

After that, we kissed a few more times, and just talked some. From time to time, I would pinch myself, still unsure how I could ever be dating Sophie Elizabeth Foster. It just didn't seem real, it couldn't be! But it was, and I had never been happier.

Suddenly, I realize something terrible.

"Foster?" I say.

"Mmm?"

"Sophie, we're going to have to tell Grady." A wave of her panic hit me.

"Oh no. OH NO."

"Relax, Foster. He probably won't kill me," I attempt to reassure her.

"You sure? Are you aware that he has a baseball bat specifically for you?"

"I said probably."

"You fill me with hope." Foster deadpans.

"Maybe we should tell Edaline first." I suggest.

"Good idea." Sophie agrees. Then she gaps. "You had a good idea! Who are you and what have you done with Keefe Sencen?"

"Hey!" I throw a pillow at her. She throws one back. Then, life as we know it ends. The words is over- the worst thing imaginable has just happened!

"Sophie Elizabeth Foster. How dare you!?"

"What? What did I do?" Foster asks.

"You- you messed up… THE HAIR!"

"Oh no, Keefe, I- I'm not sorry at all." Foster laughs.

I gasp, clutching a hand to my heart melodramatically. "You wound me."

"Hey, Dad's going to insult you a lot. I'm just preparing you," she smirks.

"But- But did you have to insult the second most important thing in my life?!"

"What's the most important thing?" she asks.

I kiss her again. "You."

She blushes. "You're the most important thing in my life too."

I fake my jaw dropping, and I can also feel a blush rising to my cheeks. Which is a problem, because Keefe Sencen does not blush. Foster, what have you done to me? "More important than mallowmelt?!" I ask.

"It was close." Foster admits.

I sigh. "So... let's go tell your parents."

Edaline is thrilled. She hugs Sophie and congratulates us. Grady, though, was... how do I put this... less than thrilled.

Grady sighs, holding the baseball bat threateningly. "There's nothing I can do to change your minds?"

My grip on Sophie's hand tightens. "Nope."

He groans. "Fine. But That Boy, if you hurt her, the Neverseen will look like a little fluffy bunny. Do you understand?"

I gulp. No, of course I'm not afraid of Grady. The thought of hurting Sophie is what makes me scared… obviously. "I understand."

"Let's have mallowmelt to celebrate!" Sophie says. I laugh, thinking I love her so much.

Sophie's POV:

A few days later, I invite everyone over to Havenfield for a sleepover. Why? The answer to that is simple; Why not? Fitz and Biana come in first, and Linh comes in with Tam a few minutes later. Finally, Dex comes in.

"Sorry I'm late," he says. "The triplets were holding me hostage."

Because I'm not cliche at all, I suggest that we play truth or dare. Everyone agrees, so we all go up to my room.

"Biana, truth or dare?" I ask once we're there.

"Truth."

I smirk. "Do you think Tam's bangs are hot?" Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Keefe making a face. Biana blushes so much that it's a miracle her head didn't explode. She looks down and mutters something incomprehensible... though I'm pretty sure it's a yes.

"Can you repeat that so the group can hear and understand that, please?" Tam asks. Hope is written all over his salty face.

"YES!" Biana yells. Then she buries her face in her hands and groans something about the humiliation.

"I, um, thanks. Thanks. Um... I think you're really hot too," Tam says quietly, but loud enough that I can still hear it. Evidently, so can Biana, judging by the way she peeks at him through her fingers.

"OH MY MALLOWMELT! JUST KISS ALREADY!" Linh shrieks.

"Um, okay. If... if Biana wants to?" Tam says tentatively.

"Yeah! Yeah, I'd love to kiss you. I... I really like you, Tam."

Their lips meet for only a few seconds before Fitz screams something about blindness and they separate, but both are grinning.

"Keefe, truth or dare?"

"Dare, of course." Keefe answers. My mind flashes to the last Biana/Keefe dare... but of course, now that she's dating Tam, she won't dare Keefe to kiss her.

Biana leans forward eagerly. "We're all dying to know, so please, spill the beans about you and Sophie!"

"Well, I think it's pretty obvious that we're dating." Keefe says. Biana and Linh both let out inhuman shrieks and yell things like "YES!" and "THE SHIP HAS SAILED!" and "ASDFGHJKL!"

"What's the ship name?" Linh asks, once they settle down.

"Team Foster Keefe!" I declare. Keefe nods.

"How about you and Tam, Biana?"

"BAM!" Biana decides enthusiastically.

"Nice. Fitz, truth or dare?" Keefe asks.

"Truth. No, dare. No, truth. Yeah, truth." Wow, he's indecisive.

"Who do you hate most in this room?"

"Tam." Fitz decides.

"WHY?" Biana demands.

"Because I have to be the overprotective older brother. Tam, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Oh." Fitz says. "I only had a truth in mind."

Keefe sighs and whispers something in Fitz's ear.

Fitz guffaws and says "Tam, I dare you to dye your bangs bright pink."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tam shrieks.

"I have an elixir." Dex says, grinning.

Tam groaned and dyed his hair. The sight of him sends Keefe into hysterics for ten minutes. The rest of us are laughing too, leaving Tam to suffer his pink-banged humiliation.

"Shut up, all of you!" Tam eventually yells. "Dex, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Tam smirks and stands up. Without saying a word, he leaves the room. A few minutes later he returns, holding a cup, which contains a nasty-looking mixture.

"What is in that?" Linh demands.

Tam thinks. "Um... coke, orange juice, ketchup, melted cheese... oh, and a ton of pepper!"

Dex makes a face. "Let me guess, you want me to take a sip of that?"

"Nope! You have to drink the whole thing!"

"EW!" All the girls shrieks. Man, am I glad to not be in Dex's position right now!

Dex groans and grabs the cup. He downs it all in one gulp, then whimpers "I think I'm going to be sick."

"Make Tam drink that!" Linh suggests. Cries of "ew!" and giggles float around the room.

"I'm okay." Dex sighs. "Linh, truth or dare?"

"Um... truth."

"If you woke up one day and you were a guy, what would you do?"

Linh ponders this for a moment. "Probably go back to sleep," she decides eventually.

"Always the best thing to do in the morning!" Keefe agrees.

"Yep! Sophie, truth or dare?"

"Dare," I reply, mistakenly thinking that Linh can't be that evil.

She smirks at me, and I gulp, thinking that... maybe I underestimated the evil genius of Linh Song. "Write a super mushy love letter to Keefe..." she starts.

I sigh, posture relaxing. "That's not so bad."

"Oh, and then you have to read it to Grady." Linh says. While I'm groaning, she adds "And Edaline, and Sandor. And all of us."

I bury my face in a pillow.

"Go ahead! Start writing the letter!"

I let out the longest groan in history as I get a piece of paper and a pencil. For a while, I scribble the most embarrassingly awful letter ever, until I announce "Okay, I'm done. MOM! DAD! SANDOR! COME ON UP HERE!"

The three of them are here quickly, Edaline and Sandor looking concerned, Grady glaring at Keefe. "What is it?" he demands.

I clear my throat, blushing madly. "Because I am so deeply enamored with Keefe, I must share my letter to him with all of you. It reads as follows: 'Dear Keefe, the love of my life, Lord Hunkyhair. I love you more than badly written letters can say. Your Hair is the light of my life, and your ice blue eyes are sooooo much better than Wonderboy's teal! My love for you exceeds that of my love for mallowmelt, and I can only hope that your love for me exceeds that of your love for gulons. You, Keefe, are much deserving of the nickname Lord Hunkyhair; For you are a lord, and you are sooooooo hunky! Especially your Hair! But you are so much more than Hunky. You are a prankster extraordinaire, a gulon master, and you are the most funny, kind, brilliant, intelligent, lots of other positive adjectives, elf ever! Insert kissy face emoji! With all my ooziest, gushingest love... Sophie Foster.'"

Grady's jaw is tightening, but everybody else is in hysterics. Keefe is... blushing? Oh my mallowmelt, Keefe is blushing!

"That was a dare, just so you guys know. Bye! You can leave now!" I yell, practically shoving them out the door. "Are you done with truth or dare?" I say when they're gone.

"Sure." Linh agrees.

"Pillow fight!" Dex yells, throwing a pillow at me.

"Hey!" I throw one at Keefe, who throws a pillow at Tam.

After a while throwing pillows and getting yelled at by my parents, everyone but Dex, Keefe, and me fall asleep. Keefe and Dex share evil grins.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'M PINK!" Fitz screams when he wakes up.

Okay, so, the one thing I'm not keeping from the old plot is matchmakers scrolls, because after Flashback and Legacy I better understand Sophie's perspective on them. Otherwise, it'll stay pretty much the same! Hope you enjoyed the new Truth Or Dare!
