A/N: This chapter is meant as a test for a different format; it failed. I'll be going back to the original format next chapter, gomen!

-

Kira: Here we all are again! Now, a surprise for everyone – in a few days, it'll be Renji's birthday, thus we'll be celebrating it today!

Renji: Wha-

Kira: Yup, we've got all the preparations ready! Now we just need our cake…

-Yachiru pops in-

Yachiru: Here! It's made of… strawberry!

Ichigo: What the-

Kira: Yup! Strawberry cream with chocolate icing and crushed cookie sprinkles! (Guess where the cookies came from…?) We'll be having the cake at the end of the chapter!

Yachiru: Kira-chan! Shouldn't the party start soon?

Kira: Of course! Every party has games, right? Well, at this party, we'll be playing truth or dare! The rules are really simple: guests have to choose either truth or dare, and then one will be randomly selected from those sent by reviewers. If there are none Yachiru and I get to think one up. Now… Renji, it's your party, so pick the first player!

Renji: Ha! Ichigo!

Ichigo: Dare…

Kira: Right! From sailor winx: say that Renji and Uryuu are better than you in every way!

Ichigo: Are no- oh, it's a dare. Uh… Uryuu and Renji are be…be…

Yachiru: Say it, Ichi-chan!

Ichigo: …better than me!

Kira: Yes! Next is… um… Rukia!

Rukia: Dare!

Kira: From AllenxWalker'sxEnemy: tell Byakuya that you and Ichigo are going to get married!

Rukia: …

Kira: Hurry up!

Rukia: Nii-sama… um… Ichigo and I are… um… getting… um… ma-married…

-Ichigo glances at Byakuya-

Byakuya: -flat glare at Ichigo- If you dare do anything, Kurosaki…

Kira: Now… Pick someone, Yachiru!

Yachiru: Megane-chan! It's your turn!

Uryuu: -pushes up glasses- Truth.

Kira: Let's see… from fluffylover119: why are you such a nerd?

Uryuu: I am? –pushes up glasses- I was influenced by Ryuuken, I guess… and there's not much else to do…

Kira: In that case, let's have Ryuuken next!

Ryuuken: -raises eyebrow- Dare…

Kira: From awapadfoot, who is joining us next chapter after I release the bakudou on her: hug Uryuu for one minute.

Ryuuken: NO.

Orihime: Come on, Ryuuken-san! Show your fatherly love for your son!

Ryuuken: -glares at still-bakudoued-on-floor awapadfoot- What were you thin-

-Yachiru pushes Ryuuken into Uryuu. Kira pushes Uryuu into Ryuuken. Orihime giggles-

Kira: Now just-

-Uryuu and Ryuuken jump apart-

Kira: That was, according to my stopwatch here, only 3 seconds. Forfeit!

Yachiru: The forfeit is… Ryuuken-chan! Jump around clucking like a chicken for one minute!

Ryuuken: Fine…

One minute later…

Kira: Oh, my eyes…

Uryuu: What… just… happened…?

Yachiru: Next up is Shirou-chan! Truth or dare?

Hitsugaya: Dare.

Kira: -evil grin- From Bunnylia: find out Matsumoto's bra size!

Hitsugaya: NO…

Kira: -reaches backstage and pulls out a sword- Are you sure, Shirou-kun…?

Hitsugaya: Ok, ok!

Kira: Go on then! –straps sword to back-

Hitsugaya: Matsumoto… come here a minute… -drags Matsumoto off stage-

Five minutes later…

-Hitsugaya and Matsumoto emerge on stage-

Hitsugaya: -blushing- She… doesn't… wear… one…

Kira: Ah. Well… Yachiru, would you like to play as well?

Yachiru: Yay! I choose the truth!

Kira: Well! From sailor winx: have you ever blackmailed someone to get candy?

Yachiru: I don't need to! Ken-chan gives me so much already! Now… Gin-chan!

Ichimaru: Dare.

Kira: Another one from sailor winx: Open your eyes till the end of the chapter!

Ichimaru: That's hard, ya know… -forces eyes open by 1 cm-

Kira: That's it! I need a picture of this…

Yachiru: Can we have cake now, Kira-chan?

Kira: I guess… due to time constraints here, this chapter will thus end…

Yachiru: Birthday song!

-music starts playing-

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to Renji…

Happy birthday from me

Kira: Cake-cutting time!

-Renji cuts cake for everyone-

Kira: -mouth full of cake- We'll be taking dares as part of the regular chapters from now on! Oh and, before I forget… Shirou-kun, would you please release awapadfoot from the bakudou?

Hitsugaya: Fine… -gestures and bakudou is released-

Kira: That's all! Sayonara!
